“You humiliated my cousin, Andrew, you even posted a video of him online. You made him lose his father and everything they had worked hard for all these years.” Alfred Charlton said with his voice brimming in irritation and anger.Ryan was surprised to hear that the man standing before him was Andrew’s cousin, he knew he didn’t do anything bad but he did what was right. He remembered that fateful night when he risked his life for Andrew only for him to be betrayed by Andrew, which led to him losing his uncle Mitchell.The name Andrew increased the anger inside of Ryan, he felt a deep anger rising within him.“Andrew did a bad thing to me.” Ryan promptly said after a few moments of silence between them.“What did he do that made you humiliate him, you even sent for the police to shut down his club and made his family go bankrupt.”Alfred turned to stare at Bella, he gazed at her coldly. “We knew you loved every member of the Baker’s family and that was why we had to go through Bella,
Ryan was not moved when the gun was pointed at him, he gazed at Alfred Charlton deeply. “Did your cousin not tell you he was responsible for the death of Alfredo Negredo? He murdered his assistant Richard’s father.” Ryan uncomfortably asked.“Shut up, shut up,” he said with his lips tutted in disgust.Ryan furrowed his eyebrow as he gazed at Alfred before Alfred could grasp what was happening. Ryan lunged forward, his clenched fist connected with Alfred’s jaw in a powerful punch.The impact sent Alfred staggering backwards momentarily disoriented. He didn’t wait for a second chance, he quickly disarmed Alfred, knocking the gun out of his hand and kicking it close to the driver and Bella. While he twisted the arm with a punch.Alfred grunted in deep pain, Yannick’s eyes widened in extreme shock at Ryan’s swift and decisive action. The guard closely rushed towards him, intent on aiding Alfred. Ryan still maintained a defensive stance and swiftly assessed the new threat. With a reflex, R
Yannick moved to grab the gun that was close to Bella, but he suddenly felt an excruciating pain radiating from his lower body.He looked to see Bella’s face, her leg wasn’t properly tied. She was still seated on the floor when she delivered a swift and precise kick to his private area.“Urh!” Yannick grunted, doubling over in pain, his focus disrupted. He moved back facing downward with his etched with pain.Bella seized the opportunity to kick the gun with her leg, sending it moving with aim; she directed the kick towards a small hole in the ground where it disappeared from sight.Yannick crawled towards the wall with his hands still placed below his balls. Bella nodded, she was satisfied his threats had been neutralised, giving Ryan an edge not to worry about the gun.“Deal with them, Ryan,” Bella screams from her spot.The third man attacked with full force with a metal pipe, Ryan seized the opportunity and utilised his agility to evade the swing and delivered a swift strike to th
He asked because he knew he hadn’t informed his guard about where he was heading after he left the office.The police chief stared at Ryan blankly, before he switched his gaze to Elizabeth and back to Ryan immediately.“Mr. Ryan, we received a call from Miss Elizabeth Brian. She informed us you were in danger and we should come immediately.” The chief finally responded to Ryan’s question.Ryan glances at her with a gaze of curiosity. He furrowed his eyebrow with concern and scepticism. “ How did she know I was here and who informed her, was she working with Yannick,” he muttered Inwardly.He drew a deep breath as he moved towards Elizabeth who maintained a downward gaze and her expression was filled with worries and concern for him.“How did you know I was here?” he vehemently asked.Without hesitation, she began to spill out how she found out Ryan was here with Yannick and some dangerous men. “ I was driving home when I saw your car, you looked worried when I saw you and I had to fo
Victoria sat across from her parents in Brown's living room, their faces engrossed with concern and frustration, it’s been months since Brown’s accident and their carefully laid plans to steal money from him had failed miserably.With the divorce still a secret to other members of the Bakers, and no sign of the lawyer, the Forster family has used the opportunity to stay at Brown’s apartment and has sold a few of his properties while also collecting money from Grey. “Mom, I don’t know what to do anymore. Brown has been unconscious for long and we haven’t been able to access his account or anything valuable. We have been able to access his safe box in his room but the money there is not enough or any valuable stuff we could sell.” Victoria admitted with her voice tingling with worry.Her mother, Mrs. Vanessa sighed heavily. The weight of the situation was evident in her eyes. “ Yeah I know, we have tried everything we could think of but without his authorization, we cannot access his b
Reuben walked in with a sad expression, he moved to where his parents were seated. Without a word, he took the remote and changed the channel to a news channel which was reporting about Ryan Baker.“What is……” his father spluttered. Before he switched gaze to the television when he heard Ryan’s name.The news anchor’s voice filled the room as images Of Yannick Sebastian, Alfred Charlton, Ryan and Bella Baker flashed across the large screen.“Authorities are praising the unknown man, who bravery rescued Ryan from the hands of Yannick Sebastian and Alfred Charlton’s attack. It was reported that Ms. Bella Baker was kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend Alfred Charlton and it was tactics they had used to lure Ryan into their trap but the two Grandchildren of Mr. Caleb Baker were saved by a mystery individual.”“Police had gotten hold of Yannick Sebastian, Alfred Charlton and other accomplices. They have been taken to court for judgment and we await the court report. Both friends have been held f
He quickly answered the call with his eyes fixed on the road. Before he could utter a word, he heard his name “Ryan, Ryan, I am losing him.” She screamed out from the other end of the call, her voice unstable.Ryan slowed down and parked his car at a spot along the road, her voice was filled with intensity, he wondered what was happening to her and why her voice was shaking.“What do you mean, who are you losing him? What is it are you alright,” he asked with his face etched with confusion and his voice filled with concern.He could hear her crying and murmuring coming from the background, “ Ryan, it is my grandfather,” she finally spoke out after struggling with her words for a few minutes.“He has been sick for a week, but since last night he is not unresponsive to treatment. We have tried everything but nothing is working. We have called.” she managed to spill out.“Where are you and where is your grandfather?” Ryan promptly asked.He could still hear noise coming from the backgrou
Ryan smiled and kept a calm demeanour, he didn’t need anyone to tell him that both father and daughter were not in support of him.“Dad, Emilia, can you please stop being harsh at him, he is grandfather’s business partner and you all know how grandfather loves him.” She spoke out, intercepting any further words from her father and sister.Elizabeth was not happy that her father and sister were both talking down on someone who had shown care and interest in helping their family.“Elizabeth, he doesn’t look reliable. I am just watching that he might make the case worse.” Elizabeth’s father uttered.“Dad, he wants to help, let’s allow him,” Elizabeth said calmly while cleaning the tears from her eyes.“He is not a doctor, he needs to prove himself to us before we can believe him,” Emilia said in disgust.“Watch your words, Emilia,” Elizabeth uttered frowning her brow at her sister.The two sisters weren’t willing to give up, Ryan stared at each of them. As they continue to banter words.
