HANDS OF RETRIBUTION CHAPTER 107
It had been right before their eyes, and they couldn’t even see it. Roman knew that there was something off about Florence from the start. And even the truth sounded horrendous to his ears. Florence Weah was the daughter of Viper Don. Roman had finally found out his identity. He was Donald Weah. And the reason he had been tagged dead was because nobody had seen him ever since then. Donald Weah had died to bring Viper Don to life. The only issue they had was that they didn’t know what he looked like. There were no pictures of him on the documents. Roman closed the file and kept it on the side. Ben too was bamboozled by this discovery. He was trying his best to believe that this wasn’t true, but it was. Viper Don was the father of Florence Weah. Everything made sense now. “But we aren’t certain that he is the one,”Ben said. Roman shook his head. “What more proof do you need? It makes a lot of sense. Why would Florence ask me out on a date from the blue? Why would she want to get cl

Roman stepped out of the black Audi and scanned the area. The sun was going down gradually, which meant that sunset was at bay. Roman was feeling queasy about meeting up with Florence. He couldn’t trust her anymore. After realizing that there was a possibility of her working with Viper Don, the little interest he had in her had faded completely. He saw her as a threat, and he loved to take out his threats. As he walked into the cafe, his eyes scanned the environment. He was still feeling that this was going to be a trap. He had fallen for it once and had borne the consequences. He had lost his footing and couldn’t walk for months. If Ben and Lydia weren’t there, he would still be bedridden. Those months were the worst of his life. Being able to do nothing had made him feel useless, and it was all because of Viper Don. Viper Don had messed him up badly, and he couldn’t wait to get his revenge on him. He was going to pay for what he had done to him. When he stepped into the cafe, he

“Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here to lay one of our very own into the hands of God, hoping he will welcome his soul into his kingdom,” the priest. “As the Bible says, from ashes we were made, and to ashes we shall return.”David sat in the front row with a pair of black shades. They were all at the cemetery trying to lay Timothy to rest. David found it hard to believe that Timothy was gone even though he was staring at his body in the coffin. Just over two weeks ago, they had spoken and now he was in a casket. It was hurtful, but there was nothing left for him. He had been emotionally drained over the last few days. Lilian had advised him to lay him to rest. The cops hadn’t found anything that could let them get to the killer. So they were given his body to let him lay him to rest. David was unhappy about this. He was determined to find who had murdered his uncle, and then he was going to make them pay. “Dear Father, receive this poor soul into thy kingdom, in the hope th

“What do you want?” David asked. Roman’s eyes went to Lilian. She was feeling queasy about his presence. “I just want to talk.”“Then. Get on with it.”Roman clenched his jaws and shoved one of his hands in his pockets. He was wondering what he could say that could be soothing to them. David looked exhausted. It must have been tough to lose a loved one. Roman had lost his mother, and it had changed him. His father had been murdered, and the man behind the murder was working for free. He wasn’t about to let that go. He was going to get his revenge on Floyd Helix when the time came. And he felt David was thinking the same thing about Viper Don. That was if he knew that Viper Don was behind this. “I want to share my condolences to you.”“I don’t need your sympathy.”Lilian held David’s chest telling him to relax. Roman chuckled at that. He could understand why he was being so feisty. Everything made sense just for today. Lilian glared at Roman. She was particularly happy to see him

Florence sat by the window nervously. It was unbelievable that her father would wish to see her here. It never never happened, especially during the day. Viper Don was so used to coming out only at night and she thought he was going to stick to that forever. But that seemed like it was about to change. Why would her father risk showing himself in public? What if someone was watching them?He had told her the reason he had always kept himself in the shadows. It was only then she understood why. If he was ever caught, he would be taken away forever. With the amount of crimes he had committed and orchestrated, he wasn’t going to see the light of the day ever again. Florence knew she couldn’t lose her dad. She was angry that he had murdered Timothy in cold blood, but he was still her father. She wouldn’t want him to be gone. Who would she live for? He was the only parent he had left. That was the only reason she had done everything he asked for. She had wasted half of her life trying to

Roman stepped out of the black Corvette and handed over the key to the waiting valet. He straightened the navy blue suit he wore as he headed towards the red carpet. It was another party. A party to celebrate Florence becoming the new CEO of Troyes Inc. He wondered what Lincoln was going to think of this. There was no way he was going to allow a bunch of newbies to take over his company from him. But there is doubt that Lincoln will do anything about it. It turns out that Timothy Belton had signed a deal with Viper Don which meant that all his properties became his after his death. It didn’t sound like a wise thing to do considering that Timothy had been a wise businessman. Maybe he had signed it without any knowledge of this. Coming here looked like a big mistake. Not because Florence and he had ended things early. It was because he felt the Viper Don would be in attendance. He had shown Ben the picture of Viper Don back at home and he had been stunned. Their suspicions had been

This was the part where Roman should have spat out his drink. He was stunned by Lilian’s request. When had she become so obsessed with Florence? It didn’t make sense. He wasn’t sure she knew anything about Viper Don. If she did, she wouldn’t ask their question. Roman didn’t want to take her down that lane. It could become detrimental. He was aware of Lilian’s fiery behavior. She would want to confront either Lilian or Viper Don and it could end in her death. As much as he would like to see a battle between both women, he didn’t want Lilian to hee into subj trouble. “What?”Lilian cranked her eyebrow. “You heard me. I want to know more about Florence Weah. Who is she?”Roman was perplexed by this. He was still trying to digest the fact that Lilian was bold about this. How did she know about his affiliation with Florence? He thought he was the mysterious one. “How do you know…?”Lilian smirked at him. “Trust me, I know.”Roman opened his mouth to speak but no words came. He shoved h

MILLVILLE, NEW JERSEY. The big garage door opened and Roman walked into the large room with both hands in his pockets. He was dressed in his usual attire—a black suit with a white undershirt. He was surprised when he got the call from Oliver. Coming back to New Jersey hadn’t been left off the plan, but he had no other choice. He was here to listen to what Oliver had to say. Oliver had refused to tell him over the phone. Oliver Debaucher smiled when he saw Roman walk towards them. Beside him was Susan. There was one of them missing. Daimonte. This made Roman furrowed his brows. “Roman Lacroix,” Oliver Debaucher sang as Roman approached the large silver table. “What is it, Oliver?”Oliver laughed and folded his arms across his chest. “Always in a hurry.”Roman clenched his jaws. He was supposed to be sleeping in his bed right now in New York, but he had chosen to fly over to New Jersey to hear what Oliver had to say. Roman had the luxury of reaching out to him quicker, and he didn’
