Jian Li spent the next few hours gathering intelligence on Akira's whereabouts. He knew she was a skilled fighter, but he also knew she had a weakness - her loyalty to the Yakuza. Although he didn't want to kill Akira as she had spared his life, he knew he could not back away from a mission. The moment he turns his back on his family will be the moment he ceases to exist.He tracked her down to a small bar on the outskirts of town, a known Yakuza hangout. This was his chance. Jian took his two best handguns, and a key to his powerbike and left the manor on his PCJ 600 powerbike.Jian Li stopped at the bar, he only called for two extra guys as a backup. This was supposed to be a stealth mission. He approached the bar cautiously, his gun hidden beneath his jacket.As he entered the bar, he spotted Akira sitting in the corner, her eyes fixed on him. She saw him being a bit fidgety as if he was steeling his resolve for something, that's when she knew he was there to kill her, but she didn
Jian Li walked into the Triad manor, his mind still reeling from his encounter with Akira. He couldn't shake off the feeling that his whole world was about to be turned upside down.As he entered the courtyard, a Triad member approached him."Jian, your father summons you." The Triad said and went off. He hadn't even bothered greeting Jian or helping him park his powerbike. Jian knew he had more or less lost his respect in the eyes of these Triads' low-level members. In a Mafia organization, only strength matters. Kindness and goodness, are all seen as weaknesses.Sigh!Jian nodded, his heart sinking. He knew he had to be careful what he said to his father. He made his way to Victor Li's office, his mind racing with thoughts of Akira and the Yakuza. When he entered the office, his father looked up from his desk, his eyes narrowing."Jian, I hear you failed to finish off Akira Nakamura even when you had it in front of you." Victor Li said, his voice cold.Jian bowed his head. "I apolog
Akira sat in her brother's office, her mind racing with the impossible choice she faced. "Taro, I don't know what to do. Father wants me to lure Jian into a trap, but I can't do that. I owe him my life."Taro's expression was sympathetic, but his eyes gleamed with ambition. "I understand, sister. But you must think of the family's interests. Father's orders are not to be disobeyed."Akira nodded, but her heart was heavy with doubt. She didn't know that Taro was secretly planning to betray her and that his advice was merely a ploy to gain her trust.Meanwhile, Jian Li was facing his dilemma. His father, Victor Li, had ordered him to kill Akira, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He had saved her life once, and he couldn't repay that debt by taking her life now.As Akira and Jian struggled with their loyalty and duty, the tension between the Yakuza and Triads continued to escalate. It was only a matter of time before the conflict exploded into violence. Akira knew that if she was t
Unknown to Clarissa, the gifts she called trash were the top-notch, best of best, out of this world, items that money could buy.It's difficult for a layman to believe or even fathom the fact that a billionaire will leave a life of luxury, and then decide to settle in the slums. What kind of life will that be? But Clyde did it.. he chose this life for a reason.Clyde had gotten a gold card with a black diamond engraved on it, this card was only for the wealthiest in the Zizou Empire. This gold card had no spending limits and could contain billions of trium (the currency of the Zizou Empire. One Trium is equivalent to One dollar. In the modern world, Clyde will be one of the richest men there is).Another gift he had prepared was the state-of-the-art smart wristband, which after facial recognition will allow Clarissa access to learn about his real identity as the lord of the Zizou Empire's military forces. Clyde's identity was known only to a few. Even in the military, only a handful o
Later that evening, Clarissa and Clyde were on their way to the government agency that deals with residential marriage and divorce, they were going there to get a divorce. Clyde had tried to make her see reasons but Clarissa was adamant and demanded a divorce.On the way, Clarissa kept on mopping about how Clyde had been unable to give her the kind of life she deserved. Even after a year of marriage, she had nothing to show that she was married to a 'Man'. She had talked to Rachael while she was at her home. Rachael had pointed out the fact that ever since she was married, not only had she been left behind by their classmates, but her societal hierarchy had plummeted to rock bottom. She had agreed to it when Rachael had laid out these facts in front of her.“How can you be so useless, and yet you expect me to remain with you!? I'd say 'in your dreams' but then again, I'm not sure if you even have dreams.” Clarissa spoke harshly to Clyde as they both sat in the cab which was conveying
When Clyde got out of the building, he found Clarissa waiting for a cab. He walked up to her. He sighed in his heart. He could not believe his marriage ended just like that.He understood Clarissa's worries; women liked the typical strong alpha rich men. Men strong enough to shield them from harm, and also rich enough to provide their needs. He was strong no doubt, but he wasn't rich (at least in this fake life of his). This was the reason Clarissa left him. He beared no animosity towards her, despite what the old man inside the courthouse had said.“Clarissa, I wish you the best in life. I hope you find someone who will love you as much as I do, and who will take good care of you. You truly deserve to live a good life.” Clyde said with sincerity. He truly love Clarissa, if things were in his power, he would have told her about his real identity a long time ago, but sadly he couldn't not anything about it. So right now he was trying to soothe her feelings and show that he understood h
Clyde couldn't believe Clarissa dumped him for an ugly cow. The problem wasn't him not being lovable or caring or not doing his best.. no, the problem was Clarissa had already been cheating on him because she simply was just a materialistic woman who saw nothing but money. Clyde couldn't believe this! He now knew exactly why Clarissa suddenly asked for a divorce; Clarissa was cheating on him, and when Seth couldn't bear to keep it a secret anymore, Clarissa then demanded for a divorce.. it all made sense now! He had been cuckolded without even knowing. When did it start? How long has they been having sex behind his back? Three months? Four months? Anger and hate welled up in his heart for these two in front of him. Clyde looked at Clarissa's smiling face as she blushed and held Seth's arm as if it was a bag full of trium.. perhaps it was. His mind immediately flashed back once again to what the middle-aged man had said.“I once had a wife who didn't see me as a nice fit for her. She h
I've never felt so happy standing closer to Rihanna than I did right now. Her smile and laughter was so genuine, she acts so genuine, friendly and nice that it wasn't for Sebastian's body being corrupted with Black magic, we wouldn't have been able to know if she actually did anything bad to us.I felt so relieved and happy. Maybe this was the mission Lana was talking about, her mission was probably to make Sebastian and I get closer to each other and it was working.Ever since she pushed open our bedroom this morning, Sebastian has been so loving, especially since she told him that she knew that we were meant for each other."You're smiling brightly," Her voice interrupted me and I turned to face her, my smile spreading."Of course I am. I'm just so happy."She smiled and patted my hair lightly. I felt a little tug and it felt like a strand of my hair left my hair but it was probably her nails.Ever since she tampered with black magic, the repercussion was her nails and the color of
