When the man handed Isabella her phone, he ordered, "Speak!” At this moment, Isabella spoke out, her voice quivering with panic."Hey Alexa!""Hello, Isabella. What can I do for you today?” Alexa responded immediately.As Isabella heard Alexa’s voice, a level of solace fell upon her, and her fright was immediately gone. The man looked surprised by what he had just witnessed. Due to the nature of his business, he had never used a fancy phone before, only Java phones. Now, witnessing that Isabella was talking to her phone and that the phone responded back, he was enthusiastic to find out more.Seeing how interested he was, as it was boldly written on his face like an open book, Isabella continued talking."We had a conversation at the dusty door earlier. What was it all about?""That’s correct, Isabella. We had a conversation earlier. It was about the report of your mother's interview with the journalist. You asked me to find information about what the journalist asked her during the in
Hearing the silly question from the reporter, Ethan ignored it and instead pointed to another reporter, indicating that she should ask her question.The female reporter wore a tailored navy blue pantsuit that accentuated her professionalism and confidence. Her white blouse was neatly buttoned, and a silver pendant necklace added a touch of elegance to her outfit. She completed her attire with classic black pumps and held a leather notebook and pen in her hand, prepared to take notes on everything Ethan said.With a serious and determined expression, the female reporter asked, "Mr. Mark, there have been speculations circulating about whether your ex-wife might be involved in this incident. Can you provide any insights into this matter or clarify any misconceptions?"Ethan Mark, choosing his words carefully, responded, "I understand there might be questions surrounding this incident, but it's essential to remember that pointing fingers at anyone without concrete evidence can be harmful
"No! I think I will pass on this one. Its mouth is too big, with many holes," Isabella insisted. Hence, the man dropped the weapon just as Isabella wanted and turned to the other side of the room, picked up another pistol and he said,“This is a revolver, it is immediately identifiable as the wheelgun. Invented in the 19th century, it was designed by Multi-Load. The cylindrical chambers you see in the middle of this beauty hold anywhere from five to eight rounds. The cylinder rotates every time the trigger is pressed. A complete badass, if you ask me. And with this firearm, you are unstoppable. If Ethan Mark takes a hit from this, his bones will be broken into too many pieces, and his corpse will not be identified by the forensic experts. Take it!""Nah! I'd pass. I don't want a gun from the 19th century," Isabella insisted."What a pity. You just missed a badass weapon, but anyway, luckily you have me, and there is no other dealer with great guns like me."The man picked another pist
As soon as the call dropped, Mr. Smith, bowing at Ethan's voice immediately, said, "Master, it's the leader of those who attacked earlier, and he will come back to attack again. But do not worry; we will be ready for them when they come."Ethan, nodding in agreement with Mr. Smith, said, "Of course, we already know they will come back until they get what they want. However, unfortunately, what they want is not what I can give them. Forward the number and the details of the call to the commissioner. Let him also be aware of what is about to happen.""Master Mark, the call was from a private number and cannot be traced, nor can it be forwarded. I can only tell the commissioner the details of the call by word of mouth."Hearing this, Ethan nodded again, then took a sigh before he said, "It was expected. I should get my daughter to safety first." He took his seat on one of the plush sofas in his grand living room and hence said once again, "Tell guard 3 to bring my daughter to me."As Eth
As soon as Isabella emerged from the dusty door building, she hurried in her brisk steps towards the car park where her vehicle was stationed, facing it like a magnet to metal. Upon reaching the car park, Isabella seamlessly slid into her luxurious car, as if it were a glove fitting her hand perfectly. Her thoughts returned to what she had just encountered in the dusty door building, and a quick glance at her left wrist made her sigh like a weary traveler who had taken a wrong turn on her journey.Without uttering a word, she picked up her fancy bag, which she had gently placed on the car's front seat the moment she got in, and retrieved her newly acquired pistol as smoothly as a magician conjuring a hidden trick.Hence, she heaved out a sigh once more, and her mind traveled back to about thirty minutes earlier, when she was in a dire situation, only to acquire this weapon. In this vein, she muttered this to herself, like a contemplative philosopher pondering the mysteries of the univ
"Gather all the guards; it is time I address them," Ethan declared once again. Right on cue, Mr. Smith took a second bow immediately and pressed the earpiece in his ear, announcing loudly, "This is Mr. Smith. An order from the master. Gather yourselves together and be alert. We are coming out."Mr. Smith then turned to Ethan, bowing for the third time and saying, "We are ready for you, Master Mark."At that moment, Ethan sighed, his exhale resembling the release of a heavy burden. He nodded at Mr. Smith, taking his first steps forward, with Mr. Smith following closely behind.Outside the compound, all the guards had already assembled as per Mr. Smith's response to Ethan's order. Each guard stood at attention in a straight line, forming five rows with a long line of guards in each.As soon as they spotted Ethan, they all bowed in unison and raised their heads simultaneously. In a perfectly synchronized formation, they stood with their legs spaced apart and their hands resting upon each
Everything Alexa said to Isabella made sense to her, and as such, since Alexa had already started her car, she pulled the car into a slow reverse and drove toward the road that leads to Ethan Mark's mansion.In this moment, it did not mean Isabella was too confident in the motive she was about to launch; however, it did not mean she had cold feet either. "Alexa, I think we should better start calling the f**ker’s landlord right now and pressure him to evict her," Isabella said as she drove on."You are correct, Isabella. We should call Elara’s landlord right away and pressure him to evict Elara Whitewind. If pressuring him does not work, we must threaten him. Anything that allows us to achieve our goal is what we must do. And right after, we must call the hotel she booked and make sure she was thrown out, so she will be occupied with a new problem," Alexa said."But allow me a few seconds to fetch Elara’s Whitewind landlord’s number and, of course, the hotel number she also booked nea
"Alright, alright, I will. Is that all you need me to do? Mr. Adams asked."For now, yes. You have only ten minutes to evict her, or your wife's phone will ring right now," Alexa replied."But what about the Housing Authority or the Rent Control Board? What if Elara contests it and seeks legal assistance to protect her tenant's rights? This is nearly impossible. Give me three weeks, and I will evict her!” Mr. Adams pleaded"Do I look like some sort of clown to you?" Alexa asked."No!" Mr. Adams replied instantly."I do not care about the reasons you give to the Housing Authority or the f**king Rent Control Board. All I want is for you to evict Elara. If you do not or make the eviction slow in any way, you will be in serious trouble. See the video on your phone," Alexa said.At this moment, a distant sound occurred on the car's system, indicating that the man on the other end of the call had received a notification on his phone. Immediately, Isabella heard,"How did you get this video?
