2024-12-19 23:10:25Kamdiel's heart raced as he gave instructions to his fellow military personnels, his subordinate, Phoenix had planted different personnels at different corners of the auction house.
They were all heavily loaded and ready to strike at any given time no matter who it was. Soldiers were underground and also in camouflage around the environment. It was dark anyways, and easier to hide. Kamdiel ran through the plans with his team, “ You all will wait outside and be ready to strike on command, but firstly, I will go in there and see if I can rescue her myself.” Be vigilant and ready, and if anything goes wrong, know you gave up yourself for a good course. He saluted them and slowly made for the door of the auction house. The air in the auction house was thick with excitement, anticipation was bubbling in every corner of the room. The grand hall was fully packed with people, all eager to see the spectacle that was about to unfold. At the front, underneath the glimmering chandelier, stood the auction host, a chubby man with a greedy smile plastered across his face. He wore a clean black suit with a white shirt and an orange tie. He tapped the microphone, silencing the whispers that went across the room. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he began, his voice slick with charm, “we have a very... special item for you tonight.” Behind him, an iron cage was wheeled out onto the stage, the harsh scraping of metal echoing loudly across the room. Inside, folded in the corner like a wounded animal, was Kelita. Chains clinked as she stirred, lifting her tearful and angry face to peer through the iron bars. Her once radiant beauty was covered by bruises and cuts, but her strong spirit was far from broken. The crowd stirred restlessly, some leaning forward in their seats, others smirking knowingly. They had come for the show, and this was their main act of the night. Kelita’s heart pounded in her chest, and she clenched her fists, nails biting into her palms. Desperation clung to her like a second skin. Her once dignified life was now reduced to this, being sold like a mere object, they really saw her as an object, nothing more than a plaything for the highest bidder. She swallowed saliva hard, refusing to show the fear that was rising within her.The host’s grin widened as he raised his hand, gesturing to her as if she were a prized possession. “Kelita, the jewel of the “once” great Kadmiel family, a beauty unmatched!” He airquoted the word “once” His tone shifted, the innuendo hanging thick in the air. “And tonight, she could be yours.” The crowd erupted into murmurs, and Kelita felt their eyes crawling over her. She shivered in grief and disgust.The auction host let the anticipation grow before he delivered the next blow. “Starting bid... one dollar.” He chuckled, and the room joined him, their laughter echoing like a taunt in Kelita’s ears. Kelita’s stomach twisted. One dollar. The insult stung deep, but it was the intention behind it that hurt the most. They wanted to humiliate her, to show that she was worthless. She looked around, searching for any familiar face she could find, hoping, praying for someone, anyone at all to intervene, different thoughts ran through her mind, but there was no one. Then, a voice cut through the large room. “I’ll bid $50 million.”The room fell silent, all eyes turning toward the speaker. It was a man from the Wang Family, one of the Four Great Families that held power in the city. He stood with his arms crossed, a smug smile stretching across his face as he looked up at Kelita. Kelita’s blood ran cold. She recognized him immediately. He had wooed her once, promised her wealth and status if she agreed to be his, but she had rejected him outright due to the circumstances surrounding her brother and family. Her refusal had been met with deep bitterness and hatred, and now, it seemed, he had found his way to finally revenge. The man from the Wang Family laughed, his voice booming in the silent hall. “Fifty million, and I’ll make sure everyone here gets a turn. She can pay for her stupid arrogance in public.”The crowd roared in approval, their cruel laughter filling the space. The man stepped forward toward the stage, eyes gleaming with malicious intent. Kelita recoiled, her back pressing against the iron bars of the cage.“You... you would not dare!” Kelita spat, her voice shaking but bold and solid. “My brother, Kadmiel, will find you. He will come for me, and when he does….” The man from the Wang Family sneered, cutting her off. “Your brother? That fool can’t even protect you now. What’s he going to do when I’ve had my fun with you?” He reached into the cage, his fingers brushing against the tattered remains of her clothes. Kelita flinched, she was fighting back tears of rage and despair. The audience cheered him on, their jeers and chants growing louder as he tore at her clothes, exposing her beautiful skin to the jeering crowd. “Stop it! Do not touch me!” Kelita screamed and fought back, but her voice was swallowed by the noise making it meaningless for her to scream. Her heart raced as she realized that no one in this room would save her. Her hands shook as she reached for a piece of glass she had hidden in the folds of her clothing, if they would not let her die with dignity, she would take matters into her own hands. She lifted the glass to her neck ready to end it all. But before she could make the cut, the door to the auction house exploded open with a deafening crash. Silence fell over the room, and everybody's attention was shifted towards the entrance of the auction house. A tall, well built figure stood there, hidden in the darkness, his silhouette well framed by the light that stood behind him. Slowly, he stepped forward, the room, parting like the red Sea in his wake. It was none other than her brother,Kamdiel.

Kadmiel’s presence radiated power and fury. His eyes burned with cold intensity. And the air around him seemed to be cold and had with it barely restrained violence. The auction house buzzed with a current of unease as Kadmiel walked through its grand doors. Murmurs rippled through the crowd like waves crashing against a rocky shore. Patrons whispered in shock and awe, their eyes growing wider and their mouth opening as they recognized who he was. This was not just a return, it was an event that set the city crazy with speculation and fear. Kadmiel’s presence was magnetic but brought about unsettling thoughts. Years ago, his name had been synonymous with scandal. The incident had forced him into the military, tarnishing his beautiful reputation. Now, he had returned, not as a broken man but as a prophet of judgement. His posture was rigid, his eyes scanning the room with a fierce determination that yelled unresolved vengeance. As Kadmiel moved through the large
Fury of the Forgotten The war has just begun
Kadmiel stood tall in the center of the room, his dark eyes seemed calm yet piercing as they scanned the crowd of hefty armed men that stood around and before him. The dusty auction house was filled with death states, fingers crackling and extreme tension, the air thick with fear. Yet, he remained unfrightened, his presence alone commanding respect. His attire, sleek and battle-worn, contrasted sharply with the outfits of the guests. But Kadmiel was not here to impress anyone. He was here for a purpose. He looked around and tilted his head slightly, signaling to Phoenix, his trusted surbodinate, standing alert at his side. Her long, raven-black hair fell in waves over her shoulders, her sharp features masked by an air of cold efficiency. She was fierce and loyal, one of Kadmiel’s best. “Phoenix,” Kadmiel's voice was steady and controlled, filled with composure.“ Are our men in position?” Phoenix’s eyes flickered with determination, and she gave a single, abrupt nod i
Fury of the Forgotten Ashes of the Past
The rhythmic hum of the helicopter's sharp and quick blades filled the air as Kadmiel leaned back in his seat. His eyes were closed, but his mind racing. He had been humming a silent melody to himself while he was lost in thought. The mission had been successful. Kelita was safe, and the auction house was nothing but rubble. He should feel a sense of relief and joy, but instead the news from his sister about Leah weighed heavily on him. "Two children..." he signed and whispered to himself, letting the reality sink in, the air seemed cold. He was a father. He had not seen Leah in years, since the incident took place, and now she carried not just one child, but two of his children. Beside him, Kelita shifted in her seat. "It shocked me too," she said softly as if she had been reading his thoughts all these while, breaking the silence. She glanced over at her brother, staring at his calm but obviously overthinking behavior, her face pale but calm, the trauma of her ow
Fury of the Forgotten Estate ruins
Immediately they arrived at the camp. Kadmiel had a sip of water and discussed a bit with his subordinates. He had to go see his family house before anything would happen because he knew that somehow, the four great families still had allies. He also needed to go into the town so he could meet Leah as soon as possible. Everything seemed to be happening to him at once but he was determined to survive through everything. “Kelita, we are going home immediately, freshen up as fast as you can…. Phoenix, come here” Phoenix immediately walked towards him and saluted. “I need you to come with me, get a few of the guys and tell them. But also alert other troops to be ready, we might need their services, okay?” Kadmiel ended authoritatively. “Sir, yes sir…” Phoenix replied immediately. She called five of their most trusted personnel, they all got into the back of the car. Realizing they would not all fit. Kadmiel ordered them to get one more person and use anot
Fury of the Forgotten Diabolic Plans
Kadmiel stood at the entrance of the house, taking in everything the estate environment had to offer, no matter how little it seemed. Phoenix stood staring at him from a distance. She felt pity for him after everything he had been through. The flames still smouldered in the east wing of the estate, the sharp and bitter smell of burnt wood lingering in the air. Kadmiel stood at the edge of the ruins, his jaw clenched as his eyes scanned the destruction that was before him The fire had seemed little, but it had done a whole lot of damage on the house and also to Kadmiel’s emotional state, memories of his young days played in his head. His hands curled into fists as memories of his childhood home flashed before him, now corrupted by the inferno that had devoured parts of it. Beside him, Kelita’s small frame trembled, though she refused to let the tears fall. “I tried to stop him,I begged him…..” Bartholomew, the butler, muttered weakly, his old voice filled with
Fury of the Forgotten Kadmiel meets his kids
The middle-aged couple’s hands were raised, ready to strike down the defenceless twins. The little boy, heart pounding in his chest, instinctively stepped in front of his sister, in a bid to protect her from the coming slap or blows. His small arms spread wide, his voice trembling but defiant. “Whatever you do, please do not touch her! Hit me instead,please!” he shouted, his body tensing, ready to take whatever blow would come. Just as the couple's hands hovered in the air, a commanding voice sliced through the tension. “Hey! That is Enough!” Kadmiel’s voice was deep, carrying an authority that demanded obedience. He stepped forward with long, purposeful steps, his eyes narrowing at the middle-aged couple. His presence alone made the couple freeze in place, their hands suspended mid-air, like children caught in the act. They were a bit scared but did not want to show it. The twins looked up, wide-eyed, at the towering figure of Kadmiel. Relief washed over them, bu
Fury of the Forgotten Enduring Humiliation
Leah held both her kids in her hand and proceeded to leave the environment, she had a tear drop down her eye after everything. She wiped her face with the back of her palm and kept going, though slowly. Kadmiel and Kelita who had been standing there during the whole episode saying nothing stood behind her, watching as Leah carried the children away. The weight of guilt and pain pressed down on him. The years of unintentional absence, the silence he had not known was so loud for Leah and the children, all these threatened to choke him. His mind raced with thoughts of how to fix the damage that had already been done. He knew he had to make things right, even though he had no idea how. His hatred and anger toward the four great families seemed to multiply during that moment. His face was red with anger but the feeling of sadness overwhelmed and suppressed the feeling of anger he felt. As if pushed by something. He took a few steps forward, he signalled to Kelita to j
Fury of the Forgotten Leah's mother
Kadmiel stood outside Leah's family home, his heart pounding hard and racing, he kept trying to find the right words to say that would calm her anger down. His palms were sweaty and red, and for a moment, he felt like that young man who had made a terrible mistake five years ago, he felt exactly how he felt when he was told he had to leave. He felt exactly the way he felt when he was on the boat cruise running from the problem that lay ahead of him. Now here he was. The guilt weighed heavily on him. He had to make things right, but Leah’s cold rejection earlier stung more than he expected. He had honestly not known about the children, had not known about the struggles Leah had endured.

A debt to protect
More of the bullies stormed in right after Phoenix had taken the first set of bullies away. The sound of heavy footsteps pounded loudly against the wooden floor of Leah's home. They immediately rushed toward Kadmiel, fists clenched and faces beaming rage. Jae stood back with an evil smirk that played across his face, his confidence rising as he watched the additional men enter. He folded his arms across his chest and watched on, “You are more than finished now, Kadmiel. You should have never gotten involved in something you knew you could not handle.” Leah stood frozen beside her mother, both their hearts pounding in their chests. Her children clung to her legs, sensing the danger but not fully understanding what was happening. Her mother’s expression was that of fear and anger, and Billy, her younger brother, stood trembling in the corner. Josh stood beside him too. It seemed like the whole world had turned against Kadmiel, as always. But Kadmiel remained ca

Collateral Lives
Meanwhile, Kelita had been standing with Kadmiel's son for a while. He had been inquisitive about the ongoing events in the house, though he did not understand much, he wanted to understand what was really going on. But Kelita was not going to be the one to give him that information, she believed he was too little to know all that happened. She distracted him with another story while still trying to pay attention to what Kadmiel, Leah and her parents had been discussing. Kelita and Kadmiel's son seemed to bond a lot during the little time they spent together. She hoped and silently prayed that Kadmiel wins this case, she would be the best aunt in the world to the twins, she looked at them both and admired how cute they had been. “Precious little darlings.” She said underneath her breathe.The drama in the house was still ongoing. Kadmiel stood still, a faint smile played across his face. The demand of one million from Leah's mother did not seem to bug him

The Edge of Forgiveness
The tension in the room grew thicker as it grew tangible. Kadmiel’s head was sweaty due to the anger and his fist still trembled from the punch he had landed on the “great” Young Master Wilson. Master Wilson lay on the ground, clutching his jaw in shock and disbelief, his once proud and happy expression was now replaced by disbelief and rage. His bodyguards, previously standing idle, hopped into action at his furious command. “Get him! Kill him!” Wilson roared angrily, his voice thick with humiliation. The bodyguards, large men of intimidating stature, moved quickly, their faces set with determination. Leah’s heart raced as she instinctively clutched Kadmiel’s daughter closer to her. The little girl began to cry, her tears falling fast as she sensed the danger surrounding her father. "Kadmiel, please stop this! Stop all this violence! Violence has never been known to solve anything, please. What will you be teaching the kids? Please stop! Leah's voice was fi

The cost of love
Leah stood silently, her face downcast as the weight of her world pressed down heavily on her chest. Kadmiel, standing just outside her family’s home, felt the coldness of her rejection sting deep in his chest. She had deemed him an unreliable and annoying person, a man who had abandoned his responsibilities. Leah's mother, standing nearby, scoffed at Kadmiel, her voice dripping with disgust as she looked at Kadmiel. “You think you are anything compared to a man like Wilson?" she spat, her words sharp and filled with pain. "That rich young master could provide Leah with everything she and the children need, and he would also provide for her family too, he knows how to take responsibility. You? You are nothing but a ghost and a disgusting stain from her past. A mistake of a man. Kelita lowkey believed that Leah and her parents had been doing a bit too much, but she did not want to say anything so she would not worsen the matter. She knew Kadmiel would be mad at he
