It all seems to die down when James left the building with Sarah and Kael. The drive all the way to the secret house was rendered in silence, although president Richard wasn't with them. He had went to attend to other activities since the battle was over. Some minutes later, James and Kael arrived at the secret house, which was located almost at the outskirts of the city. Tall, large trees with their long leaves rustling as the breeze blew, stood like a guard around the secret house. They wholly casted dappled shadow on the plain but unique design of the house."Good that you are back." Jessica welcomed them as soon as they arrived, walking out to receive them. " She is just waking up," she informed James and glanced briefly at Kael. The impassive expression on James' face changed instantly when his ears perceived this. A warm look latched on his face. " Thank you Jessica," he expressed his gratitude and looked down at Sarah, who was in his arms. " I need you to check her also.
Night fell and darkness was beginning to approach the city. This was the time Sarah found herself awake in a strange but bright room. Her eyelids trembled, as she struggled to wake up. Her puny eyes roamed across the whole of the room, and she adjusted herself on the bed. Silently wondering where she was, she didn't hesitate to opened her lips and called out for her mother. "Mummy!" In that instant, the door clicked open, and a tall slender figure advanced in. " You are awake." Sarah's eyes fell on the figure who just stepped in and approached her. Her brows pulled in confusion. " Daddy?" She called out with a tone of uncertainty. James chuckled, shrugged his shoulders. " Who else?" " It's Daddy!" Her face lightened, illuminating her excitement, and she raised her eyes! Without warning, she hopped from the bed and jumped on James' arms, who caught her accurately. "It's okay, baby. You are safe now," he assured her, patting her back lovingly and promised in a serious
The room was eerily quiet and dark, only illuminated by the faint light from the moon filtering through the curtains..In there, a familiar man stood without a word, staring at the cold body of a small kid. His face was clouded with extreme dismal, emitting an unfriendly vibe, making people cautious before approaching him. " Yuchen. I never thought I will be the one to bury you." Zhao's broken voice sounded in the dark room as misery simmered in his heart. Just the sight of his dead grand son was enough to shatter the last humanity and hope in him. After enduring and trying everything possible, it all settled in vain. Reflecting on his waste efforts, resources and time, his face became more gloomy like a stormy cloud that refused to clear. Especially knowing it was all caused by that - ungrateful bastard! His palms clenched, digging his fingers into his thighs! Yuchen was the only relative left for him, his only grandson and companion. As a matter of fact, he had decided
Just as she opened the door to receive Emily, an unexpected figure blocked her view. " Emily, how........... You - useless stray dog! How dare you show your face here again ?!" Her expression twisted into an unfriendly one, and she glared at James who stood nonchalantly at the door. " Sorry to disappoint you, mum." James' voice remained steady, his face on Juliet, unwavering. " You.......... ..." Juliet felt like spitting out venom at James, and she blushed angrily! " You only disappoint yourself cause you are not welcomed here!" " What's going on, Juliet?" Steven strode towards the door, staring at Juliet curiously and wondering what was making her to lose it. Juliet turned to Steven, raising her voice , " This walking vomit is back again! I can't believe he is back! Isn't he suppose to be mourning his ........." Realizing what was about to escape from her running mouth, she bit her bottom lip and abruptly paused! Steven frowned at his wife and shook his head, " Juliet, don
Bang bang!" Emily! You still have the nerve to sleep by this time! The company has been acquired!" The loud noise startled Emily, who was just waking up. " What?" Rubbing her eyes, she complained, her brows knitting. " Dad?"" Do you need me to kick this door before you come to your senses?! Get up now!" Steven yelled, his voice filled with a sense of urgency. James straightened himself up and got down from the bed. " I think something is wrong," he tugged at his pants, saying, and he approached the door. Recognition dawned on Emily's face. With immediate effects, she rolled from the bed, grabbing hold of her crutches. She adjusted her sleep wear and followed James to the door. The instant the door was unlocked by James, Steven bustled in swiftly. " We have to go to the company now!" He informed impatiently, facing Emily. " There's no time at all." " What do you mean , dad?" Emily's forehead furrowed as she inquired confusingly. Steven's expression hardened! " Didn't you h
" This is to compensate for the five hundred million dollars worth good and to pay for the damages done." Jasper concluded what was on the file and closed it up. He lifted his head casually, taking off his glasses and cleaning them before putting it back on. The information turned out to be a bombshell news, which ruined the faces of the people listening to it. The tension in the air rose up intensely! " What?!" Standing up from her seat immediately hearing what Jasper said, Emily's face scrunched up, and her mouth twisted! " Excuse me? What was that?!" " What was what?" Jasper looked down at Emily impolitely. Emily grounded her jaw, unsatisfied with James audacious attitude. She retorted, " Don't act like you don't know what you just said. What do you mean the Thompson company stole 500 million dollars worth good?! How? When?" Jasper threw a scoff at Emily's words, " What you should rather focus on is how to save the company. You should be glad the Song corporation a
The smell of disinfectant reeked across the sterile room that was illuminated by the florescent lights humming above like a constant heartbeat. Inside the room, laid a familiar man on the single bed, with his hands raised hung up above his torso.He was none other than Victor.Evidently, he was still in the hospital, recovering from his palms that were broken by James. He had regained his consciousness, but the thought of his palms been disabled, made his face to hardened. He - a whole heir to the Tarlose immense wealth, would be disabled for life? How could he sink in such sudden transformation?! It was barely unacceptable to him!There was no hint of regret on his face, only resentment and rage, fueled by James' ruthlessness towards him! " James Donovan! This is all your fault!" He gritted his teeth slowly, as possible, seething in anger, and red lines started appearing on his face. " I won't let you go for this!" Just then, the door to the ward swung opened, reveali
The cigar dangled out of Code Red's mouth, as he gracefully reminded Zhao. Wei Zhao flared his nostrils loudly, lowering his eyes with a terrifying light! " Burn?" He repeated and slammed the glass of wine in his hand on the small table beside him! " I will be the one to burn him instead!" His words hung heavily in the air, filled with malice! " Tell me how you will acquire the votes I need to be the sect leader?" He demanded in an impatient tone. " Only being stronger and powerful can I bring down this slum who has pose a threat to me and stepped on my face!" Code Red hooked his lips mischievously, removing the cigar from his mouth." Relax." He grinned and said in a firm tone," I already brought code gold and green." As soon as he was done speaking, approaching footsteps could be perceived, and multiple shadows emerged from the entrance of the office. Two figures, their heads covered with rough sacks, were dragged, struggling into the cold dimly lit roomThe shadows that
