Gary's Legendary Return CHAPTER 133
The living room of the Larsons' mansion was quiet, until Raphael walked into the doorway, and saw his grandmother, reading a newspaper. Shutting it, Alora watched the look of disappointment on his face and then asked, “ Why do you look so dejected?”Sluggishly, Raphael shrugged and sat down on the couch opposite his mother, before speaking again, “Gary got nothing to lose!”Those words made Alora raise her eyebrows in shock, and she put down her paper to give her son an incredulous look.“After waiting one week and expecting an answer, is that all Dillon has to report?! What kind of nonsense background investigation is that!” Alora questioned, looking at her son with disdain.“Well, he did his job, but no one in the country and in South Hill seems to truly know who Gary is… except if it's related to Sandra or rumours about him and Fallon. He has no work history, no family or friends… and he doesn’t seem to even go to school or college…” Raphael said, trying to figure out how else to ex
Gary's Legendary Return CHAPTER 134
Worriedly, Gary paced slowly around the room with his phone pressed against his ear as he said, “Yeah, morning.” Gary sat at the edge of the bed when he heard Tom say.“Boss, I have a report,” “I am all ears,” Gary answered, with a straight face. “This week, Bryan Check met up with Mr. Brook, President of the Calvary company, Mrs. Alexis , CEO of CA Energy and Mr. Dan Vaughn , chairman of Sumal Industries. We investigated these three for suspicious activity in their businesses, but they are clean…” Tom said, with affirmation. Allowing those words to sink in his thoughts, Gary began pacing again as he muttered under his breath, “Clean?”Feeling uneasy by his boss‘s tone and question, Tom paused, before he resumed and said. “We have been following Bryan for three weeks, boss, and most of the business-wise interaction he has had has been with honest businessmen. Nothing that would raise red flags or warrant attention…” “Though his social life is a mess… the man lives lavishly, with c
Gary's Legendary Return CHAPTER 135
A man lives to die After an hour-plus drive, Gary pulled into a small clearing. Getting out of his car, Gary and Tom stared at the old warehouse in front of them, and how deserted this area was.“Boss, it’s not too late to get back into the car,” Tom whispered, gesturing to the car behind them. “I don’t think it’s safe to walk to the warehouse…”Patting Tom on the back, Gary smiled and teased, “Grow some backbone, man.”‘I have a backbone. I’m just worried about your safety. Your father will not be happy with my performance if a bullet or knife strikes through your heart.’ Tom thought to himself, keeping quiet about his concerns. ‘I don’t want this to go South, boss.’Shaking his head lightly, Gary pulled out his phone, scrolled through his contact, and stopped at Jerome’s number, dialling it without hesitation.The phone rang twice before there was a click and Jerome answered, “Hey, boss.”“I’m outside. Come out,” Gary ordered calmly, his eyes scanning the surrounding area.The line
Gary's Legendary Return CHAPTER 136
There was a long pause as Adrian stared calmly at Gary, his expression blank and emotionless, not breaking eye contact with him.“You got some powerful people coming behind you." Adrian remarked, crossing his arms against his chest, waiting for Gary’s reaction. “Why?”Gary didn’t budge as he stared back at Adrian, not saying a word, and he didn’t give anything away, nor gave any hint to Adrian as to what he was feeling by those words. “The Larsons, some of these people work for them mainly Raphael, the dotted grandchild of Alora.” Adrian paused again for another second, making sure his words were completely understood.Silently, Gary eyed Tom, seeing the look of concern and worry etched on his features, and he then shifted his gaze over at Adrian.A faint frown surfaced on Wess's lips, one of Adrian's men as he looked at Carlos and mumbled, “Didn’t the news say that Sandra’s ex-husband is a worthless stay-at-home husband with nothing to his name except his desire to leech off her wea
Gary's Legendary Return CHAPTER 137
The last time Alora was present, things quickly escalated, and Fallon didn’t want to experience it again, and somewhat, she was thankful that Gary wasn’t present either since she knew the hostility Alora had toward him.“Sure, but my mom gets to come.” Fallon said, calmly staring between Alora and Raphael,The thought of being alone with these two made her alert, and she didn’t want to face them on her own, knowing their temperaments.“Of course. We came to talk to both you and Silver.” Alora with a sweet smile that made Fallon more uneasy.Suddenly, the front door opened, and Fallon felt her heart leap into her throat as she watched Gary walk in.His gaze resting on Raphael, Gary’s brows snapped as he blurted out of curiosity, “What’s going on here?”A sense of raw animosity and anger filled Raphael’s features, keeping steady eye contact with Gary as he let out, “It’s none of your business. Get lost.”“The question was not meant for you,” Gary said, narrowing his eyeś slightly and ra
Gary's Legendary Return CHAPTER 138
Alora gave Raphael a cold stare and then said, “No, that’s all… I hope that you will honour your word and show up because your grandfather at least deserves such reverence from you.”The dull pain in Fallon’s cheek still pissed her off, but she ignored it as the memories of her grandfather flashed before her eyes, and her lips trembled as she tried to cage her emotions and said, “As long as the meeting is based on grandpa, I guess I can tolerate coming over. I can tolerate coming.”The sight of Alora and Raphael, the longer they stood in her face made Fallon feel incredibly uncomfortable, and she blinked back her tears, averted her gaze, and stared down at the invitation.“If that is all, I would like to attend to my daughter’s wound,” Mrs Gilbert said in annoyance, her eyes fixed upon Raphael as she continued speaking quietly. “You guys can see yourself out.” Unexpectedly, Alora walked over to Fallon, taking her hands in her grips, and startling her with the sudden contact that caus

The line was filled with Blade breathing heavily and the sound of cars whizzing by, and then Raphael finally heard “Boss, I kind of need help. I got kidnapped and was just released on the side of the road with a bruised face, no shoes, and bloody clothes..”Snapping his brows in confusion, Raphael looked at Alora, who had a serious expression on her face and was glaring at him as he let out, “What are you talking about?!” “Someone has people watching the apartment… I don’t know who they are, boss… I don’t know who it is… I don’t know who the men were or how many they are because I was blindfolded, but they didn’t like that I had been snooping around for a while!” Blade explained, sounding frustrated. A sense of worry and anger welled in Raphael as he tried to control the emotions rising inside him, clenching his fists, he hissed, “What?!… What did you tell them then… huh? Did you tell them who asked you to spy?!” “No! Of course not, boss. I would never betray your family like that.”
Gary's Legendary Return CHAPTER 140
With messy morning hair, a yawning mouth, and sleepy eyes, Fallon walked into the balcony in an oversized t-shirt and shorts, and then smiled, not caring that James and Ryan were there.More than a month with the guys had made her so comfortable with their presence that she didn’t care for her look or to act formally anymore with them.“James, what is for breakfast,” Fallon asked softly, smiling as their eyes locked.A warm expression graced his face as he grinned at her and said, “Pancake, muffins, toast, bacon, eggs…”“Oh wow, that's going to be quite interesting.” Fallon’s eyes were wide open with anticipation.***Sitting behind the Tesla, Alora kept her gaze on the front entrance of the parking lot, annoyed that she had been waiting in her car for a few hours now.The sense of humiliation she felt, just sitting and waiting in the parking lot of Bryan Check's head office was almost unbearable for her pride and ego, but it had taken a week of trying to book an appointment to see hi

CHAPTER 174
The door to the lobby finally opened, and Mr. Bamford walked in with twelve police officers following closely behind him.Silence completely took over the lobby of the building and only the sound of their boots could be heard hitting the tiles as they walked over to where Gary was.The tears in Fallon’s eyes immediately stopped, and a sense of confusion flooded every part of her mind as her eyes followed the officers until they stood in front of her husband and the other five officers."Chief! What are you doing here?” One of the five officers asked with worry evident in his voice. The other four looked just as confused as him, and fear started creeping its way on their faces after the chief didn’t reply immediately.Meeting Gary’s eyes and his bloodstained nose, Mr. Bamford frowned, dragging his gaze down to Gary’s hands locked behind his back, and said, “Uncuff him now!”The firmness in his tone caused Fallon’s eyes to widen with a shocked expression, she opened her mouth, but no wo

The anger that ate at Gary slowly faded, and he looked back to see his wife staring calmly at him, and yet, he couldn‘t stop caring for what she was thinking at that moment about him.Sighing, Gary looked back at Kyle and scoffed, letting go of his collar, causing his back to hit the tile, and a cry escaped his throat.Kyle lay on the floor, holding his chest, crying and moaning, shaking his head as he tried desperately to hold in his sobbing, the room became so quiet that the sound of a pin drop could‘ve been heard.Everyone was shocked by what was happening in the lobby, and Ciara‘s hands were trembling as she tried to remember the police number, her mind a mess.“Ciara! Have you called the police yet?!” Kyle cried in rage as the pain from his face intensified because of the volume of his voice, and he moaned out, “Ciara!”“Yes sir, I‘m sorry sir, um, I need help here...” Ciara stammered with a shaky tone.“What help?”“Umm… What‘s the police number?”“What the hell, Ciara!!”His sw

As the security guards approached Gary and the others, Tom calmly took out a file from his briefcase and looked back at Kyle and the investors.“Well, I am a lawyer with a couple of degrees, including Doctor of Juridical Science degree, and this is a valid will that both Mr. Larsons and the law enforcement officials‘ signatures are on, which proves everything that Fallon has told you guys, that this company is now under her management,” Tom explained calmly, taking out the document and showing it to the investors.“I have worked with Morgan before, and that is definitely his signature on this paper. He‘s a man of honor, and so am I,” Mr. Walker immediately stated, glaring at Kyle.The security reached the scene but immediately stopped out of confusion, seeing that no one was attacking Kyle and just stood there looking at each other.“It could be a fraud! Who knows...” Kyle answered, shrugging nonchalantly.“But we do know. You just blurted out that you thought the will got destroyed a

Gazing intensely into the bathroom mirror, Gary reached for his toothbrush but then paused as a memory of Lawyers Morgans‘ words kept replaying in his head, the looks on his face when he said those words, and the way his body reacted a bit nervously to question about the will.Immediately, he grabbed his phone off the sink and scrolled for Tom‘s number until he got to it, dialing it.After ringing his number, the call got answered and Tom‘s voice popped up through the speaker, “Good morning, Boss...”“I need us to discuss something important later on today," Gary said as he watched the bathroom door reflection in the mirror slowly pushed open, and Fallon popped her head inside. Thankfully, he was tying a towel around his waist.“I'll be on my way then."“Good, we will wait on you guys before we leave, so be here by nine.”Wondering who her he was talking to so seriously at seven in the morning, Fallon reached her hands around his waist and kissed his bare back, resting her head flat a

A look of fear entered Morgan’ eyes, his expression twisting with anxiety, terror, and helplessness as he and Gary continued to stare at each other. “Which will?” Mr. Morgan finally questioned. “The will that Mr. Larson left Fallon,” Gary stated plainly, averting his gaze to stare straight into the old man’s eyes, daring him to try and lie.“Whi-cho-ne…?” Mr. Morgan murmured, barely audible for anyone to hear.Then he saw Gary’s brows furrowing, and he knew that he was getting impatient as his eyes narrowed, and he leaned forward slightly in his chair.“Don’t act like a dummy with me… speak louder.” Gary uttered in a stiff tone.Immediately, Morgan’ face turned pale, his body tensing, and then his eyes widened as he blurted out, “Oooh! Oh!! Do you mean the will Alora gave Fallon the night of Mr. Larson’s death anniversary party?!”“Is there another will for Fallon?” Gary asked as he raised his eyebrows.“No! No… no… I was just scared and my mind took its time to process everything.”

CHAPTER 169
The words that Gary said to Jeremy never left Fallon’s thoughts, even though the morning was now evening, and Gary was sleeping.Adjusting her head on his warm chest, Fallon looked at him, just staring, allowing her thoughts to run wild in her head, as she listened to his heart beating, feeling his chest rise and falling, listening to his breathing.‘What package were you talking about?’ Fallon wondered as she bit her lower lip, thinking furiously.All of a sudden, she heard his phone go off, causing Garyto shift slightly on the bed, hugging onto her waist tightly, and burying his face deeper into her neck “Gary, your phone,” Fallon whispered, feeling reluctant to wake him and yet, also wanting an answer.“Hmm…” He mumbled sleepily, his voice barely audible.“Your phone…,” Fallon repeated, her tone a lot louder than a few minutes ago as she tried again to shake him awake.Finally, Gary opened his eyes, blinking slowly for several seconds. After a few more seconds he seemed to register

CHAPTER 168
Anger immediately started to rise inside of her as Fallon glared at Alora with a look of pure hatred, and without even realising it, she blurted. “Grandpa left that company for me, and you can’t just take what he gave to me away!” A faint chuckle escaped Alora’s throat as she gazed down at her granddaughter, before she replied. “Oh yes, I can… you know, I thought you were getting married to this… this human being because you want to own something in this family and be a part of us…” A pause followed her words as she watched Fallon’s eyes for a sign of fear and submission and when she saw a slight flicker of emotion in her step granddaughter’s eyes, she smiled, knowing that she managed to hit Fallon’s weak spot. “I will not tolerate the disrespect I am seeing from you, Fallon, and since that’s how you want to behave, I am taking this opportunity to let you know you aren’t fit to take over any of the family business. I don’t need an arrogant, selfish, and prideful woman who does not

CHAPTER 167
The dull morning light in her face with her body wrapped into Gary’s arms, Fallon just stared at him, his lashes, the details of his lips, unable to look away. Her hand rested on his cheek, and looked at his shut eyes, stroking his skin lightly as she felt her breathing become slow and steady. “I know it was just nonsense that she said, but I still can’t get her words out of my head…” Fallon whispered, leaning in closer until there were no more inches between them, their breaths mingling together. “What can’t you get out of your head?” Gary asked, his voice low and soothing as his eyelids slowly opened.Not expecting him to even be awake, Fallon froze, trying desperately to think of something, anything because she didn’t want to tell him about the conversation between Sandra and her.“Nothing,” Fallon quickly replied, pulling her face back, feeling a heat rise to her cheeks. “It’s nothing. You should go back to sleep. Yesterday was hectic, and my crying kept you up late.” “Fallon,
