"How did you... What are you doing here?" Tasha struggled to find her words while she watched Ferdinand tower over her.She held her baby close to her chest and looked pleadingly at Ferdinand as if begging him to leave.Ferdinand enjoyed her reaction and smirked, "I came here to see Mrs Veronica. And that bastard Mr Devine as well. I think it's a life for a life on that man's part. So, where is he?" Ferdinand replied, switching to a frown."They are not here," Tasha answered briefly but her heart was beating fast, noticing the gun in the hands of the other man.Ferdinand traced Tasha's gaze to the gun and then turned to Tasha, "We won't be killing anyone but that depends on how cooperative you can be."Ferdinand shoved his way passed Tasha and her baby and made his way to the living room while Kyle blocked the door so Tasha couldn't leave.Kyle signalled Tasha with his eyes to go in and she did exactly that, fearing the consequences of disobedience.Tasha entered the living room only t
Six days passed and Vincent remained in the prison unfed, unkept, and worked to the bone. His situation made other prisoners pity him and sometimes even tried to share food with him but no police officer allowed it. This was how Vincent was to suffer until Ferdinand decides on which day to kill him.Loud footsteps echoed down the footpath between cells. The officer stopped in front of Vincent's cell and turned to it.Vincent was lying like a half-dead man and found it difficult to even open his eyes.The officer snickered as he watched the horrible sight. He had no empathy nor sympathy towards Vincent as he spoke, "Be prepared. Tomorrow is the day you die."Vincent's cellmates looked at his body on the floor with pity in their eyes but didn't day to go near him. At least, not in front of the police.The officer wanted to say hurtful words to Vincent but couldn't find any that would make things worse as it appeared that nothing could be worse than what Vincent was already facing.He tu
"He what?!" Ferdinand's voice echoed throughout the police station. An officer just informed him of Vincent's escape."How the fuck did that happen?! How could a weak measly thing like Vincent escape this place on his own?!" Ferdinand yelled at the top of his voice, ready to grab whatever neck was close to him and squeeze the life out of it."Sir, he didn't escape on his own. We found out from some criminals after two hours of torture and interrogation that a masked man in a black tuxedo came to take him. The same man killed five officers." an officer explained to Ferdinand while trembling."Sir, we didn't mean to let this happen. We could have stopped the person if we knew who he was." the same officer begged with his head lowered in front of Ferdinand and hoping that Ferdinand wouldn't take a physical swing at him."How can a man! A single man with no help whatsoever! Easy kill five police officers?! How weak are you, people?! Are you all equally fools?!" Other officers shrank into
Vincent's face flushed with fury as his brows furrowed deeply. His eyes were ablaze with an intense, fiery glare, which seemed to pierce through anyone daring to cross his path. Vincent couldn't believe his ears. This has got to be some kind of a prank but why didn't Carlos deny Alex's words if it were?The words echoed inside Vincent's head repeatedly 'Ferdinand married your wife.'Vincent's jaw clenched tightly, causing the muscles to strain visibly, as he struggled to contain the boiling rage within. His fists balled up, knuckles turning white, itching to unleash their pent-up wrath upon something or someone. The veins on his temple pulsated in sync with the thumping heartbeat, a physical manifestation of his growing agitation. His nostrils flared with each heated breath, sending out a sense of impending danger that hung heavy in the air.Carlos didn't know if he should step away or make an attempt in calming Vincent down.Vincent turned his gaze to Alex one more time as his voi
It took Alex and Vincent a thirteen hours flight but they finally made it to Japan.The plane touched down at Tokyo's Narita International Airport, and Alex felt a rush of exhilaration as he stepped onto Japanese soil. Eager to soak up every moment, he plunged headfirst into the vibrant city, almost forgetting that Vincent was with him.Vincent struggled to match Alex's speed as Alex navigated the bustling streets of Tokyo, Alex was awe-inspired by the towering skyscrapers, neon signs, and buzzing atmosphere. He marvelled at the traditional Japanese architecture scattered among the modern structures, blending the old and the new seamlessly. The sights, sounds, and smells were overwhelming, but in the best possible way.In his quest to immerse himself in Japanese culture and find his master, Alex felt like he was coming there for the first time."Do you mind slowing down?" Vincent called out to Alex.Alex turned around and Vincent just caught up with him, "Sorry, I got a little carried
Ferdinand attended a party in his favourite bar, not exactly to enjoy it and celebrate whatever with the host, but to relieve himself of his frustrations with a couple of drinks.It's been eight months since Vincent escaped and seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth. Ferdinand had no other regret than not killing Vincent on the very day he got him arrested.As the night went on, the drinks flowed more freely. Ferdinand found himself caught up in the moment. He couldn't forget anything even if it was temporary and that angered him.Ferdinand knew he was getting drunk, but he didn't care. He didn't want to stop drinking.He stumbled out of the party a few hours later and luckily for him, he had arrived with a driver and didn't have to drunk drive."You know where to take me," Ferdinand said to the driver and gulped down the remaining contents of the bottle in his hand. As the car moved, the bottle slipped out of Ferdinand's hand and rolled to the other side of the car.After
While away with Alfredo Clayton in an important meeting, Ferdinand's phone buzzed in his pocket. He had earlier set in on vibrate in order not to interrupt the meeting.His phone kept buzzing until it stopped and then started again. This happened about five times before Ferdinand finally took out his phone and checked the screen.It was Kyle calling.Ferdinand frowned knowing that he had warned Kyle even before the meeting not to call him for the next three hours. The meeting was only one hour in and Ferdinand got annoyed with Kyle's audacity.Ferdinand excused himself and walked out of the room filled with other men. He answered the phone call and placed his phone on his ear.Before Ferdinand get a word out, Kyle's voice came first and sharp, "She's gone! Vincent took Tasha and escaped with her!""What?" Ferdinand exclaimed, shocked to the bone, "How could you let that happen?!""I just arrived here and got this information from one of the men he beat up sir," Kyle explained, trying
"Put all your weapons down and step away from them," Ferdinand instructed Vincent who gritted his teeth as he glared at Ferdinand.Vincent had no choice but to obey right after the men with Ferdinand which had increased to ten in number, lifted their guns at him.Vincent took out the first then the second and then the third, continuously removing weapons from his pockets, shoes and other spots."Is that all?" Ferdinand asked."Yes. Now let him go." Vincent answered."Who said I would in the first place?" Ferdinand smirked and stroked his chin repeatedly with his fingers, "I'll tell you what? Let's do a trade."Ferdinand took one more look at Alex and then back to Vincent and then the car Vincent was standing next to, "Tasha is still in there isn't she?"Vincent's face turned dark but that only excited Ferdinand even more."Sadly, it's not what you think," Ferdinand said to Vincent."Then what do you want?" Vincent asked, already imagining himself smashing Ferdinand's face in."Surrende
