She knew Denver has blend into the background.Then suddenly a crowd of people mingled past her. The side alley men was checking her out but she didn’t pay them much attention.“Follow me,” one of the man suddenly whispered.“Excuse me!” Startled she looked around. Amongst the crowd of people only strangers, intently she searched with her eyes. She catches sight of a woman who definitely appeared to look like she was focused on her. She wonders why the woman seemed familiar.The core of her instinct tells her she was the one that has spoken. The woman was at the end of another street, looking straight at her, waiting for her to follow.“Who are you? A
Denver and Raven looked at the older woman. It was clear they need to convince her they are honorable in their intent.“What do you need to know that would convinced you to help us” Denver asked reaching for Raven’s hand.“Who are you really?” she asked flatly.“My name is Denver Ricardo. I always thought I was a certain type of person. Then there was suddenly these people entering my life. I am very wealthy. I understand you are the guardian of lost people. I can help you with immediate effect.”“No one can truly leave this city. I have tried.” Moon Dark said sounding anxious in remembering.”“This town was built on lies and deceit. Just like you I want to leave but I want my whole family. Please help us.”“Mother, I promise the girl will be safe. My son has already plotted the perfect escape. We can take you all along but at first, we need the girl.”“Hello, you fools?” McAllen giggles when he noticed the collective was looking at him.“McAllen, name your price.” Vincent Saint-Clair
"I really hope I am not going to run into Billy-Bob and his underdogs. I don't want to end my day ruined." he said to himself before smiling. "I can't believe Lisa Klein is my girlfriend." Danny smiles to himself again. "At least today I will get paid then I would treat her like the princess she is." He pick up speed wanting to get this day over. He has a date. Danny instantly knew the moment he made a huge mistake; stepping into the locker room…the camera was rolling; the primary focus the star of the school; quarterback; Billy-Bob… “Get that fucker…” Billy-Bob screamed in fury. He just managed to found the perfect moment to capture his newly develop muscles. “I…I am sorry,” Danny start but a punch in the stomach silence him. He felt his body being lifted from the floor. The football equipment dropped loudly on the locker room floor. “Please…don’t,” Danny begs feeling the dizziness grabbing around his head. “Shut up,” Sam said looking for approval toward Billy-Bob. “Where do you
“Lisa…” Danny just looked at the semi-nakedness of the girl he always thought as the most gorgeous girl. He always treated her with the utmost respect. “What the hell are you doing here, Danny?” openly furious at him. She steps from the shower adjusting her clothes. “Are you following me?” “What are you saying?” He was behind her in conversation. He shook his head trying to focus his mind. “Really Danny…I never thought you were the stalker type?” “Enough, Lisa.” “Excuse me, Danny. You don’t talk to me like that.” “What is this all about Lisa?” “What are you talking about?” she asked innocently. Danny shakes his head. He had been making sacrifices for her but it seems she had been playing him the fool. Now that he starts to think; it was curious her being interested in him. The doubt was building inside him but the heart was fighting its own battle too. “This isn’t what you think, Danny.” She said looking directly at him. He can’t believe his ears. Beautiful Lisa Klein lying
Danny knew things would have been different if he was rich, but being poor and without money. It's all these people cares about. His body shook with anger and despair. He walk to the bar just outside of town. The money still clamped in his hand. His mind kept replaying what had happened to him. As he enters the bar, a couple of lifers looked curiously at him. He sits down at the nearest chair. “What can I get you?” the bartender stood in front of him. “What happened to your face?” “A bitch,” he suddenly snarl smacking the money on the counter. “Mild…hard…harsh…” the big man asks. “Huh,” Danny looked openly confused. “I got you, dude.” Danny watch him place a Beer in front of him. The door opened behind him. The rowdy footballers enter. He reached for his bottle of beer and took a giant swallow. He instantly chokes making the men close to him laughed softly. “Buy us a brandy and talk to us, boy.” The two men comes and sits down on both sides of him. He shrugs his shoulders befor
“Denver…” “Yes, sir.” Danny looked curiously at his father. Then at his grandfather. Both men watched him intently. “You have come of age. My son, I don’t want to humiliate you but I want to know what had happened last night.” Daniel looked seriously at his boy. “Do I have to tell you, sir?” “Yes, my boy. I would appreciate this.” The father openly wait curious if he has future trust with his son. “Sir, I was attack at school but that I can handle…” He looked away feeling fury and shame. “Lisa…she played me for a fool. I was just a bet gone wrong.” He felt his skin burn with inner heat. “What are you going to do?” “I am not sure yet.” Danny admits honestly. Denver senior suddenly stood up. He walked towards his grandson and simply place his hand a moment on his shoulder. “You are part of the Ricardo clan. Take your time and find your feet. This is your path…know us when you need us.” He nods his head to his own son before he left. “Denver…” “Yes, sir.” He took the offered m
Danny climbed from the taxi in the center of Ricardo-Saint-Claire. He never even considered to come to this part of the town. Where he grown up everyone knows the rich and powerful lives and work here. He never even considered the possibility of being part of this society.“Dude, are you sure?” the taxi driver asked. “Why?” Danny realized he truly looked out of place. “Just checking.” Danny said nothing just paid him along with a generous tip. He slowly start to browse the luxury shops. The moment he step into a shop he noticed the salespersons looked at him like he was trash. Everything was extraordinary expensive. He always thought he knew Lisa but now he was uncertain what to get her. “Hello how may I help you?” the salesperson comes closer but also kept her distance. Apparently afraid his poorness might rub off on her. Her attitude was the norm where he was from. Danny just looked at her. The words feels stuck in his throat. He quickly turned around and run from the shop. Once
Danny knew he was making a mistake. He also realized he needed closure. Lisa Klein was his first girlfriend…or so he thought. That was also part of the reason he entered this luxury shops. He instantly saw the shock then disgust on her face. “What are you doing here?” she asked stepping away from Jason. “I told you the loser will come sniffing around, Lisa.” Jason said with barely controlled anger. “Jason…I told you there was nothing between us. Stop being jealous.” “Get out,” Jason approached him. He grabbed him in front of the shirt. He intend to throw him out of the shop. Lisa start to laugh looking him up and down. Her true emotions clearly reflected on her face. She quickly step up to Jason and whispered in his ear. Both start to laugh. “You might be right Lisa.” Jason looked at him with disdain. “Are you stalking Lisa?” he challenged. “No…no…” Danny was startled. He doesn’t need trouble from the police. He has forgotten for now that he could in reality destroy both by clai

Since the abduction of their children; they had becone the errand boys for one crazy man.Denver hold tightly onto the briefcase. He briefly looked at Raven. They no longer feel the need to talk. Both found a way to connect with each other."Hello sir. I have reserved the room for you." The hotel manager eagerly walked ahead of them. Once they reach the private room the man unlocked the door."I will be waiting just outside sir."Denver only nods his head before stepping inside.

Raven quickly followed before either Vincent or Aiden could move.Once the final four men joined Denver smiled."Are you ready son?""Yes daddy." "What's going on?" Vincent was alarmed.

"Leo what's happening? I was cut from the line." Raven asked urgently. They promised to work as a team. She refuse to lost Denver again."We will send you the feed mommy."Raven can feel in her body something swift in the air. She start to circle the upstairs bedroom. She had managed to slip in there when she followed the man that looked like her dead father in law."Leo...""Be careful mommy. We senses an intruder.""Is it here in the mansion or with you?" Raven sounded worried."We are protected mommy." Lea explained.Raven suddenly become quiet. She carefully looked around in the bedroom. It had belonged to Cathy Cole Ricardo when she was a teenager.While looking for a way to protect herself; she had found the girl's crawl space. Without waiting for confirmation about the intruder; she start to move.Aiden Cole slipped from the room. It had taken careful reaching before Vincent managed to stop the order. He knew the Saint-Claire family had more dark secrets but he was very curious
"Six months...six days and six hours." Denver talked into his microphone."I am also in position." answered Raven. " I have eyes on the twins.""That is good. I am going to approach the mansion now.""Be careful. We don't know what trap she might have set. ""I know. That's one devious woman." Denver looked at the estate across from where he stood. He has been keeping a sharp eye on that building. He looked at his outfit. Dressed smartly in the most expensive suit he could find on short noticed. He check his mental state...once he thought himself a loser and a fool. But he had discovered there was more than one type of truth.He walked back towards his car and climbed inside. He discovered his children was smart and just as devious. His son; Leo had told him to blend into the background. He feels proud wearing the suit he had picked and ordered. The black sport car was also his idea.Once he started the car it simmers into visibility. While he was being transported back to his past to
"Denver; open your eyes." the voice calls beside him. He looked puzzled trying to see who was calling him. It was clear the fool didn't realized his eyes was opened.He tries to get loose from the shackles but it took a moment before he understood his body was in reality motionless."Will you focus." the male voice said behind him."Where are you?" he forced his lips to move."I am behind you.""Why don't you help me?" He asked with growing frustration."I already helped you. This you must do on your own. You don't focus. Look around you.""I am." he said annoyed."No you are not. Look around. You are not tied to that wall.""Danny..." he heard his name.Denver moved his body. He nearly fell flat on his face before he understood he was free with movement. He quickly looked around until he saw her."Lisa..." he kneel beside her naked body. She feels cold and it was clear the sexual damage that was done to her body."I don't want to live anymore. " she whispered brokenly."What do you w
Denver stood looking at the girl he always thought was the most beautiful girl in the world. He briefly looked at his hand. The throbbing was less intense. He quietly wonders if he had worn the ring earlier; might he was noticed what was really gling on. He knows the girl in front of him will also disappear since he had watch her leave this world."Danny..." Lisa stood looking over the lake. The water was calm."Why did you ask me to come here? It's not like we move in the same social circles.""Please...don't judge me with who I am friends with." She still looked away from him.Denver decided to be quiet. He knows he was walking in the footsteps of the past. His reality and her current one was different. He stood beside her waiting until she was ready to talk."You are Denver Ricardo. That's your true name?" she questions sounding uncertain."What a curious way to ask me. You know that's my name.""I am just making sure. I heard a urban myth telling a story about your name." She fina
Denver placed his open palm on the palm reader. He watched Raven following him. The twins joined hands placing theirs on the palm reader. The monitors seemed to pulled them into a kind of vortex. They saw each other being pulled into different directions. It was quickly clear tthat no one has a choice. Denver suddenly made his appearance in the house on Rumble's Corner. He found himself standing in front of the door. He knew he just need to step through back into his past. He looked back but the only thing he noticed was the curtains moving from the house just across from his."Why are you just standing there boy?" His father suddenly stood in the now opened door. He looked displeased."I am coming." he looked back. Everything seemed the same but it's not. Taking a deep breath. "Might as well find out what this was all about." he told himself."Where have you been Denver," Daniel Ricardo looked very annoyed. "I am sorry. But why are you angry?""You really dare to ask me that quest
