Fury of the Forgotten By Any Means Necessary
Kadmiel nodded, his gaze drifting to the portraits on the walls, their ancestors staring back at them with stern, watchful eyes. “I know it has been hard. I never wanted to leave, but I had to. The army was the only place I could run to, to avoid getting killed.” Kelita looked up at him, her eyes filled with a mix of admiration and concern. “I have heard things, Kadmiel. Stories about what you have been through, the missions, the battles. It must have been awful.” He scoffed, trying to downplay the horrors he had seen. “It was war, Kelita. There were good days and bad days. But I learned a lot. I learned how to fight, how to survive. I saw things... things I can’t even describe.” They stopped in front of a large window overlooking the garden. The sun stood still, casting a golden glow over the overgrown plants and crumbling statues. They stopped in front of a large window overlooking the garden.

Fury of the Forgotten Desperate Measures
Stay where you are, Leah. I will find them.” Leah nodded, clutching the phone to her chest as she tried to steady her breathing. She could not lose them. Not her babies. She started pacing back and forth outside the school, her mind racing with a thousand possibilities. Who could have taken them? Why?As she turned to head back towards the entrance, she froze. Standing a few feet away were two men she recognized all too well, Jae and Maxwell, Blake’s men. Her heart raced as they approached, smirking. “Well, well, look who it is,” Jae sneered, his eyes gleaming with rage. “Looking for your kids, Leah?”Leah’s blood ran cold. “Where are they?” she demanded, her voice shaking with fear and anger. “What have you done with them?” Maxwell laughed, crossing his arms over his chest. “They are safe, for now. But their safety depends on you.” Leah felt her knees go weak. “Please, just tell me where they are. I will do whatever you want.” Jae’s smile wide
Fury of the Forgotten In the lion's den
Inside Skyridge Manor, Blake leaned back on his luxurious sofa, a cruel smile playing on his lips as he watched Leah kneel and beg before him. Her eyes were wide with fear, running from Blake to the corner where her two children huddled together, their small bodies bruised and battered. “Please, Blake,” she whispered, her voice shaking. “Just let them go. I will do whatever you want, but please, do not hurt them.” Blake’s smile widened, and he stood, towering over her. “That is the spirit, Leah. Now you are making sense, you know, I have always admired your determination. But you are still not quite convincing enough.” He nodded to his surbodinate and Jae stepped forward, his expression cold and detached. Without a word, he grabbed Leah’s son, who whimpered in fear, his small body trembling as Jae dragged him closer to Blake. Leah’s heart seized in her chest, her legs giving out as she fell on her stomach, lying down flat. “No, please!” Leah cried, reachin
Fury of the Forgotten The Danger Within
Blake’s lips tucked into a smile as he looked over at the children by the corner. He placed his hand behind him leaving Kadmiel a little confused but still on guard. He paced around the room, his smile immediately turned into a sinister smirk on his face. His confidence radiated as he glanced at Kadmiel, who stood motionless but alert, his piercing eyes fixed directly on the man who dared to threaten his family. "You have been a failure all your life, Kadmiel," Blake scoffed, crossing his arms. "Leah honestly does not care about you. It doesn't seem so, cause if she did, she would have forgiven you by now. But she hasn’t, has she? She called you after she could not find the kids, yes, but it does not mean she has forgiven you, you know?" Kadmiel’s expression did not shake, but his mind raced. How did Blake know about his complicated history with Leah? The venom in Blake's words struck him deep, but Kadmiel knew better than to let his emotions surface. Silence was his armor, his u
Fury of the Forgotten Shadow's closing in
Immediately Kadmiel had walked away and got into the car, he called Leah to ask about their whereabouts and she said she was close to their home. He then said a few other words of assurance to her, before ending the call. Leah sighed softly as she ended her call with Kadmiel. The warmth of his voice lingered in her thoughts as she glanced back at her children, who were fast asleep in their car seats. The evening was quiet, the hum of the car’s engine soothing. The driver, a trusted part of Kadmiel’s squad, it seemed as thought they had known each other for years, so she allowed herself to relax for a moment. Her mind wandered to their earlier conversation. Kadmiel’s concern for their safety had been evident, and though she appreciated his care and love, she could not help but feel overwhelmed by the danger that seemed to follow him everywhere.Suddenly, the car took a sharp turn down an unfamiliar road. Leah frowned, anxiety creeping in as she leaned forward."Where are we going? T
Fury of the Forgotten Vanished without a Trace
kadmiel’s mind was uneasy as he paced the room, his jaw clenched so tightly it began to ache. He could not afford useless mistakes such as this, not now. Blake was suddenly out there, lurking in the shadows like a venomous snake waiting for the right time to strike. Kelita tried to calm him down but her words got into deaf eats as he could not process anything around him. He pulled out his phone and dialed Phoenix again.The other party at the end of the line picked up and he said without wasting time. “Meet me at my place. Now."There was no need for explanations. Phoenix would understand the urgency.Minutes later, she arrived, stepping into his living room confidently. She took a moment to scan his face. "Blake escaped," Kadmiel said with a sarcastic smile, his voice dangerously low.Phoenix’s lips pressed into a thin line. "We underestimated him sir."Kadmiel slammed his fist against the center table, shaking the glass. “No. I underestimated him. I should have killed him when I
Fury of the Forgotten Shadows in the dark
Very early in the morning the next day, Leah's family got a visit from an “old” friend. The morning light had barely come out. The silence of that time of the morning was almost suffocating. Leah's mother, Miranda sat at the kitchen table, her fingers wrapped around a cold cup of tea and a muffler was hung on her shoulder, in as much as she was strong headed, she still loved her family so much. She had not slept, neither had she been at ease throughout the period since she heard the news from Kadmiel. How could she rest? Her daughter and grandchildren were missing, and every second that passed felt like another step toward more disaster. She blamed their financial status for all the terrible things that have happened to them. A knock at the front door brought her out of her trance. It was firm, confident, it did not seem like someone who was here for just pleasantries. Miranda was scared a bit before heading to the living room. Miranda hesitated for a moment before unlocking the d
Fury of the Forgotten A new Ally
A phone call which Kadmiel had not expected came late into the night, piercing through the silence of his home like a blade. Kadmiel sat on one of the couches in his dark room, he had turned off the lights to match his mood at that instance, a glass of whiskey stood untouched on the centre table which sat before him.He had not gotten any rest mentally as his mind had been racing constantly for hours, thoughts swirling with frustration and exhaustion. He began having migraines.Every lead had gone cold. Every trace of Leah and his children had vanished. Tracing Blake's whereabouts also proved futile. He had sent his best men out, scanned through all his networks, pulled every string he could in the past two days, yet nothing to show for it. When his phone vibrated, he grabbed it up without any hesitation."What is it? I do not have any time for back and for the right now.” His voice was sharp, cold and impatient.Leah’s mother, her voice raw with desperation, spoke quickly."I am s

Chaos in the courtroom
Leah stared at Sealion, her eyes burning with excessive fury. "You keep underestimating him and I hate you for that," she spat. "You think he has no one loyal person and everyone will leave him. But you forget that the support of one person is just enough.”Sealion chuckled, an eerie sound layered beneath the mechanical distortion. “Loyalty does not exist in this world, all that matters is the big P. “Power” which is eternal."Leah tightened her fists, but before she could speak, the door behind Sealion went open. A masked guard stepped in, dragging a struggling child, her daughter, into the room. Leah’s breath hooked in her throat. "Enough resistance, Leah," the guard growled, pressing the mouth of the gun against the child's head. "Or you will be forced to watch this kid's end next time you try to be funny or disobey, that's clear?”Leah's heart and mind pounded. Her entire body shook, not with fear, but with anger. She wanted to jump at them, to rip the mask off Sealion and claw a
Fall of the Phantom
kadimel leaned against the cold wall of an abandoned building beside the great city bridge, he was still on guard knowing fully well people were constantly out there looking for his head, he held his gun tightly. His mind flashed through everything that had happened in the past month. The Governor was killed, his businesses gone, his houses burnt. So many things wrong. Leah was still missing, and getting beaten on what seemed to be daily based off what he saw in that video. Everyone was against him. His resources were gone.And now, he had to make a tough choice.Either to run or stay and fight. His clenched his jaw. His hatred for the four great families only increased. All his life, he had hated them, they had made life miserable for him since the day he was Ten Years Old at the boot camp. And now, they still would not leave him alone, he did not understand the level of hate. He was always thinking about war against them.Now, it was here. And he was not going to lose. Shortly
Leah Tries to escape (Again)
Days had passed and Leah was still in captivity, Sealion had brought in one of best doctors in the city to come treat her injuries which see sustained during the beat-up she had gotten while trying to escape“See, I am not as bad as you think I am, if you comply with my rules, but you know, ladies these days, want to be unnecessarily brave.” Sealion said during one of the visits with the doctor. Leah was recovering really quickly and after a few days, she was strong enough to stand and move around in the room. She spent these days cuddling her children, but her mind still was not settled, she was determined to get out of that room, no matter what. On the tenth day since the incident, she was laying on the cold floor, with her children on the little foam that was provided for them. She was barely breathing, barely moving, just listening. She had learnt the guards’ routines all these days, their habits, their conversations. And tonight, they seemed to be careless, she was determined
No Way Out
Leah was speaking in low tones with her kids, reassuring them that they would be out of there soon, and should not worry.She did this everyday to give them a hint of hope, but lately, she too was losing hope on Kadmiel and wanted to act by herself.Her wrists ached due to the fact that she was bound most of the time. Her children were huddled in the corner, shivering from fear. Sealion had been coming frequently, taunting her with more riddles and threats. Putting on the news for her to watch where “her Kadmiel” was in the eyes of getting city. "Kadmiel has already lost. He just does not know it yet." These were always the words of Sealion. Leah had always held her tongue each time, she was not fully expressing what she thought, fearing that they might harm her. But inside, her fury burned. She was tired of being a prisoner.When the guard entered to drop off food for them, Leah saw this as the best time to make her move. She did not care anymore. She jumped on him when he untied
Kelita might be missing
Jonas sat in a dark room, his head leaning forward, his body bruised and sore. The ropes binding his wrists and ankles had started to cut into his skin, but he ignored the pain. He had been here for what felt like days, dragged in after following a lead that turned out to be a trap.A bright light was suddenly turned on, which blinded him. Footsteps echoed as figures entered the room, and Jonas squinted to see them. The voice that spoke was cold, emotionless.“We know you are close to Kadmiel. Brother in-law type shit, We know you have worked for him before. Tell us where he is hiding.”Jonas exhaled sharply, lifting his peppery eyes. “I do not know.”A punch landed on his ribs, knocking the air out of his lungs. He coughed, and spat blood. “Let us try that again shall we?” the interrogator said. “Where is Kadmiel?”Jonas laughed weakly, shaking his head. “Even if I knew, do you really think I would tell you?”Another blow, this time to his face.The interrogator knelt in front of h
A Dead End
Kadmiel did not waste any time in picking up the call, he pressed the phone in his ear and said. “Kadmiel here, Talk.”There was no immediate response to that for about two seconds, until one of the men spoke. “We just concluded our search in the shipping yards. There was no sign of Leah. The informant who gave you the tip was nowhere to be found either, it was a dead end sir.”Kadmiel’s jaw tightened as he exhaled. “You are sure about this?”“Positive. We totally swept the area. If Leah was ever here, it was a very long time ago.”Kadmiel ended the call, his expression was unreadable. He turned to Sloane and Phoenix who wore expectant faces. “Turns out, the lead was useless. My time and that of my men was wasted.”Sloane frowned, tilting her head. “You think it could have been a deliberate misdirection?”“Most likely,” Phoenix said. “But from who? And why? No one was attacked so it was not an ambush or trap.”Kadmiel did not say a word. He was lost in thoughts, trying to trace the c
Blake is back
Kadmiel had to go to one of his main residences in the city to get a few things he needed before going back into hiding. He tried to stay as stealthily as he could because he knew many people would be on the lookout for me, especially as a $1,000,000 bounty was placed on his head. People were everywhereWaiting. Watching and of course planning. The city had turned against him. His name was now synonymous with treason. A criminal. A killer.And the worst part? He had not even seen it coming. He wished he never went to see the governor in the first place, but now there was nothing that could be done about it. How could they be so many steps ahead? Kadmiel asked himself. Phoenix sat in the corner, her eyes unreadable. "You need to calm down sir." Kadmiel exhaled sharply. "Of everyone present in my life, I expect you to understand whatever I am going through the most. I am not just running, I am being hunted."There was silence. Then, a knock at the door.Phoenix hand went to her weapo
The Enemy Without a Face
Back in the hidden chamber where Leah and her kids were kept hostage.Sealion took a step back. "I see why Kadmiel has fallen head over heels for you, I understand his obsession now." Sealion said. "You are really beautiful, stubborn. Defiant too. All amazing attributes in one nice banging body.”Leah lifted her chin. "If you think he will fall so easily, you do not know him at all. I believe he would come out strong and save us.”Sealion chuckled. "Oh, but I do believe he would be broken easily." A cold silence stretched between them before Sealion continued, their voice dropping lower."Before this is over, Kadmiel will lose everything of value he holds.""You sound confident."Sealion smiled beneath the mask. “Confidence is an understatement, but since we are going with that, I would tell you that it comes with knowledge."Leah narrowed her eyes. "Then tell me who you really are, if you are not a coward."For a moment, the masked figure did not answer. Then, Sealion gave out a sof
Who is beneath the mask?
The Governor’s lifeless body sitting on her chair, three bullet wounds on her neck. Blood was all over the seat and dripped on the floor in slow and deliberate drops. The scene was perfectly staged. And before Kadmiel could react or call for help…The doors burst open. Armed guards ran in. Guns raised.Kadmiel did not move as their leader stepped forward, his expression had a hint of regret.“You should not have come, Kadmiel.” Realization hit him instantly.The four great families had orchestrated it, this was the perfect trap. He should have known better. And now, the entire city would turn against him. He made a run for it. He was no longer just a criminal. He was currently the most wanted man in the state.The news of the Governor’s assassination spread like wildfire. The four great families had paid media outlets to dig properly into the story, feeding the general public more and more lies. Posters of different sizes with Kadmiel’s face were plastered on the city walls. His o
