Marcus was attending to an errand for Jin one day when he was cornered by someone wearing a mask. From the sound of the person's voice, he could swear that it was Axe, but as the saying goes, ''no face, no case,'' so Marcus could not hold it against Axe later on.That night, Marcus had attended a meeting on behalf of Jin who had traveled out of the country for a family commitment.Marcus was asked to handle every single business in the city, as far as Jin Shen was not around.It pained Axe to his marrow that instead of him, Jin Shen had chosen Marcus.And to think that Jin Shen was not even supposedly remorseful for the fact that he demoted Axe, pained Axe the most.No courtesy. According to Axe, Jin Shen should have done him the honor of at least informign him that he was going to give Marcus his place because Marcus knew more about the already standing Shen family business more than anyone, even more than Jin Shen himself. It was understandable, but it was rude, and Axe felt insu
"Nurse, please where is my phone and other items that I had with me?" Marcus asked the slender and curvy woman that entered the ward, carrying pills for him. "Good to see that you have woken up clearly," the nurse told Marcus. Marcus looked at her dotingly. She was smiling so lovingly. Why was she smiling at him like that, was it part of the fact that she was a nurse so she had to be nice to everyone automatically or did she actually have a thing for him? Marcus looked at her with expectation. He had asked her a question, what was the answer? Where was his phone, where were his belongings? "You were robbed dear, I thought you will be aware of it," the nurse said, straining her face and hoping that Marcus would not freak out because of what she had just said. Marcus handled the news like a gangsta. He heaved a tired sigh and rolled his eyes. Whoever the person was that robbed him was a cheap heap of garbage. While he was cursing this person in his mind, he noticed that the
Axe was stoic, insisting that he knew nothing about the accusation. Jin Shen would roast him alive if he figured out that Axe attacked Marcus. "I'm going to investigate this, so I think it's best for you to confess now. I'll only give you a light punishment if you do, compared to if I find you telling a lie," Jin Shen said. Axe looked at Marcus who was already staring at him angrily. Both of them knew the truth, and the truth was that it was Axe that attacked Marcus. "I don't know anything about it, boss..." Axe insisted. "Very well then, if you insist. I'll call you again for this, and I hope it's not with evidence against you," Jin Shen warned Axe and dismissed him."I can bet all my money in the world that he knows about this," Jin Shen said. Marcus shoved it aside. At Don Black's house. Don Black called Bane. "I can easily get the new Shen boss on my side," he said to Bane proudly."Hmmm...are you dreaming? That's a family that hates you, how dare you think that you can
Mr. Ban was by himself when he received an email.''Legal house of Marital Affairs.''That was the subject of the email that Mr. Ban received. Curious, he quickly opened up the e-mail and looked at it. It was serving from Laura's lawyer. Mr. Ban stared at the email in shock. Nothing had prepared him for when he would receive this sort of email.The last time he checked, he was very nice to Laura, and he made sure that he was a good husband to her. So, seeing the divorce email, he was stunned. He was shocked to the last.Mr. Ban stared at his computer for minutes. He started to try and recall if he had ever wronged Laura in any way in the last two months. But, he had been nothing but a good husband. So, where was this divorce suggestion coming from?Who was talking to her, or who was she talking to, that made her opt to take such a drastic decision against him?Mr. Ban felt various feelings at the same time. He was upset at first, but then, he was also sad. He was sure that he h
Laura Ban's eyes were red and swollen with tears before long. How on earth did she end up where she currently was? While she stayed in the bedroom, wondering how she was going to cope after knowing that Mr. Ban had restricted her again, her mind flashed back to Greg Chase. Laura started to panic. What of if he called her?They didn't have any pending business together as Laura had called off their initial plans. "Did...did you switch off the phone?" she dared to ask her husband. Mr. Ban looked at her with a blank expression."Hiding more from me?" He asked. Laura Ban shook her head. "No. It's just so that no one bothers you. Someone might try to get at me, and if I don't pick up, the erson might keep on calling," Laura Ban said. "And who might this person be? You have people in this city that you are that close to?" Mr. Ban asked. Laura Ban nodded. "I have always wanted to remind you that before we ever met, I had been living in this city for a long time," Laura Ban explain
''Are you trying to ruin me? What was that mail you sent to my husband?'' a very upset Laura Ban asked her lawyer as soon as he answered the phone. ''Mail? I didn't send any mail to your husband. Did you not tell me to hold on?'' Laura Ban's lawyer asked. Laura was stunned to hear this. ''Are you playing games with me? How can you say that you didn't send that email? It was clearly stated in the subject that the email came from your firm,'' Laura Ban argued. The lawyer scoffed and shook his head, even though Laura could not see him take that action.''Would you believe me if I told you that over the last twenty-four hours, my company has suffered attacks on my cyber system?'' the lawyer said to Laura Ban. Laura Ban raised an eyebrow.She was furious.Was this a joke?Was the lawyer taking her for a fool?If not that Mr. Ban was on the other side of the door, she would have yelled at the lawyer at the top of her voice. ''You expect me to believe this nonsense? You were hacked? Wh
''Who did I ask to watch Laura? How come nobody knew that she was close to having me divorced?'' Mr. Ban asked Barter as he stepped out of his house, intending to go for a meeting. Barter looked at Mr. Ban in shock. ''Divorce you?'' he asked his boss. Mr. Ban nodded as he entered the car. Barter helped Mr. Ban close the door, and then he went around the other side of the car into the driver's seat. ''Her lawyer sent me an email this morning, serving me a divorce prompt,'' Mr. Ban reported. Barter could not believe his ears. He turned around to look at Mr. Ban closely as he sat behind him.Was his boss joking? Mr. Ban often threw expensive jokes around when he was in the mood. Was this one of them?''Boss, are you joking?'' Barter asked, his eyes shining in disbelief. Mr. Ban shook his head and handed his phone over to Barter to see for himself. Barter took Mr. Ban's phone from him and looked at the screen. There, he saw it clearly, the divorce letter had been served to Mr.
''Ma'am, you have to wait until the boss returns, he told me not to let anyone out of the house, as he is currently conducting some sort of check on the house,'' one of the gangstas at home told Laura Ban when she was trying to ''take a walk.''Laura frowned. She was going to scold the man that had just stopped her, but again, she realized that the man would rather take Mr. Ban's side over hers at any time, Mr. Ban was the one paying him his salary after all. ''Wait, or, you can even come with me. I won't be long, I just really need to go to the grocery,'' Laura pleaded seductively.The gangsta swallowed hard. What was she doing?What was the boss' wife doing to him, was she trying to get him in trouble with Mr. Ban?Laura Ban smoothed the man's skin with her pale hands, caressing him into listening to her and taking sides with her. ''I said you can come with me, that way you are sure of where I am at all times. No need to panic,'' Laura Ban cajoled the man. She continued to care
