Heir Of The Blackwood Legacy Chapter 19
The air at Pier 27 hung heavy with salt and dampness, the fog rolling in from the docks like a silent warning. Dim lights flickered above the water, casting eerie reflections on the dark, rippling surface.Mark stood at the edge of the pier, his fists clenched as the waves lapped against the wooden planks. His sharp gaze scanned the rows of shipping containers stacked high, searching for the one labeled Phoenix. Grayson was a few steps behind him, her weapon drawn and her expression tense.“Something feels wrong,” she muttered, her voice low enough for only Mark to hear.“It always does,” Mark replied, voice cold. His mind was still clouded with Edward’s taunts and the memory of Felicia’s screams echoing in his head. But he couldn’t afford distractions. Not now.Julian had given clear instructions—retrieve the shipment, and the ledger would be theirs. But Mark had learned long ago that deals in Black City were rarely as simple as they seemed.“Stay close,” Mark ordered, moving toward

“Can’t we just go and beg my mother?” Felicia Feathering looked to her husband but he didn’t reply. “You need a job. We can’t keep living like this. I can’t take it anymore. It’s too much for me.”Mark Julius gazed lovingly at his wife, Felicia Feathering, as she blurted out while preparing breakfast in their small apartment.“For me? Please?” Her eyes were pleading. “We might end up dead before we even realize it. My family is very rich and I’m sure they would help us out.”Felicia’s elegant features and radiant smile belied the worry lines etched on her forehead. Mark knew she was troubled, and he couldn't blame her. Their situation was precarious, to say the least.“You know your mother hates me? Last time I asked for her help, you know what she did?” Mark closed the gap between them. “How can we be sure that if I ask for her help this time around, she will assist?”Despite his best efforts, Mark had been unable to find a job. It was as if the universe was conspiring against him. R

Mark's phone rings again, and he hesitates before answering. This time as he picked up the call, he knew the voice just when he said,“Hey, Brother-in-law.”It was his brother-in-law, Edward Feathering, Felicia’s brother, on the line. Mark's heart sank, knowing that Edward took great pleasure in mocking him."Well, well, well. If it isn't the poor little orphan," Edward sneered. "What has it been, Mark? A year since you married our precious Felicia Feathering? And still, you can't even provide for her properly. I’ve heard the news, she’s pregnant."Mark clenched his jaw, biting back a retort. He knew Edward was only trying to provoke him. This was becoming a norm and he couldn’t keep up with it."You're a disgrace to our family, Mark. And if Felicia, my sister is still married to you by tomorrow, she and her baby will be disowned for good. You hear me? Our family will cut them off completely."It had been that when Felicia tried to connect with Mark about her pregnancy and he didn’t r

As Mark entered the study, the stranger stood up, a wide smile spreading across his face. "Mark, my brother, it's so good to finally meet you!" he exclaimed, opening his arms for a warm embrace.Mark was taken aback, unsure of how to react. "Brother?" he repeated, his mind racing with questions.He thought his whole family was all dead. Who knew he had a brother?Truly the resemblance between them was not that much, but the truth was Mark had a younger brother he did not know of. It turned out they were separated along the way.The young man chuckled. "Yes, I’m your younger brother! We were separated at birth, and I've been searching for you for years."Butler Thompson stepped forward, a gentle smile on his face. "Allow me to introduce myself, young masters. I am Butler Thompson, the loyal butler of the esteemed Blackwood family."Mark's eyes widened as he processed the information. "Blackwood family? But that's...that's a legendary family! One of the most powerful and respected famil

Mark nodded resolutely, agreeing to his younger brother's proposal. "Alright, Alexander, I'll do it. But we need to be careful. As the last surviving heir of the Blackwood family, it might not be safe for me to come back into the public eye."Butler Thompson nodded in understanding. "Indeed, Master Mark. We'll need to keep your identity secret for the time being. We can't risk alerting anyone who might still be seeking to harm the Blackwood family."Mark turned to Butler Thompson. "Now, tell me about the family's assets. What's left of our fortune?"Butler Thompson's eyes gleamed with pride. "Ah, Master Mark, the Blackwood family's wealth is still vast, despite the betrayal. We have numerous companies, properties, and investments around the world. And, of course, there's the family's legendary treasure, hidden away for safekeeping."Mark's eyes narrowed. "I want you to transfer a few of our larger companies – just a small fraction of our original holdings – and a few million dollars i

Felicia Feathering’s mother glared at Mark, her eyes blazing with anger. "You're refusing to help us? After everything we've done for you?"Mark stood firm, his jaw set. "I'm not going to help you manipulate and use me for your own gain. And I'm certainly not going to help you secure a contract that would only further your interests."Felicia Feathering’s mother turned to her daughter, her voice cold and menacing. "Felicia, you need to divorce this man. He's not worthy of our family's name. If you don't, I'll disown you."Felicia Feathering turned at Mark, with pleading eyes, tears streaming down her face. She didn’t want to lose Mark, more than she didn’t want to disappoint her mother. "Please, Mark, help us. Just this once. I'll do anything."Mark shook his head, his heart heavy with sorrow. "I can't, Felicia. Your mother is behind my lack of success, and I won't play into her hands. She's only looking out for herself, not for us or our baby."Felicia’s mother sneered, her eyes gli

In the city's business landscape, a new player had emerged, threatening the Blackwood family's long-standing dominance. NovaTech, a cutting-edge tech company, has been making waves with its innovative solutions and meteoric stock price rise. Its young CEO, the charismatic and brilliant Ethan Ryder, had been a thorn in the Blackwood family's side for years. Despite their efforts, they had never been able to bring NovaTech into their fold.But now, Mark saw an opportunity. He messaged Felicia Feathering, his wife, with a simple instruction: "Set up a meeting with Ethan Ryder and me. This is your first mission."Felicia Feathering’s phone lit up with the message, and she felt a surge of excitement mixed with trepidation. She had heard of Ethan Ryder, the wonder-kind CEO who had disrupted the tech industry with his revolutionary ideas. She knew this meeting would be a challenge, but she was determined to succeed.“Okay, I won’t disappoint you.” She texted back as quickly as she could.
Heir Of The Blackwood Legacy Chapter 7
Butler Thompson's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Master Mark, I've received word that the Featherings are planning a grand open-house event at their estate, showcasing their wealth and influence. It's the perfect opportunity for us to gain access to their inner chambers and retrieve the ledgers and documents we need."Mark's brow furrowed in concern. "But we don't even know where these ledgers are kept. How are we supposed to find them?"Butler Thompson's expression turned sly. "Ah, Master Mark, that's where your... particular set of skills come into play. I'm sure you'll be able to find out where the ledgers are kept before the open house. Perhaps a bit of... flirting with Mrs. Feathering or charming her daughter, Felicia, might yield the information we need."Mark's face twisted in distaste."You want me to use my wife and her mother to get what we want? That's low, even for us Blackwoods."Butler Thompson's voice remained calm and collected. "Desperate times call for desperate

The air in the Blackwood Archives felt suffocating, each step echoing ominously in the dimly lit corridors. Mark’s jaw tightened as he followed Julian deeper into the labyrinth, his mind racing with Edward’s cryptic text still fresh on his phone.Grayson walked beside him, her sharp eyes scanning the area for any signs of danger. “This guy of yours,” she whispered, her tone dripping with suspicion. “How much can we trust him?”Mark didn’t respond immediately. Julian had once been an ally—a dangerous, unpredictable one. Back in the days when Mark had worked to uncover the Feathering family’s crimes, Julian had provided critical intel… but at a steep price.“Not much,” Mark finally admitted, his voice low. “But he knows this place better than anyone. If he says he has the ledger, he does.”Grayson snorted. “Great. A deal with the devil. What could go wrong?”Ahead of them, Julian glanced back, his scarred face twisting into a smirk. “You two whispering sweet nothings back there? Don’t w

Mark stumbled through the smoke-filled ruins of the Blackwood estate, his breath coming in sharp, uneven gasps. The east wing was engulfed in flames, the acrid scent of burning wood and plaster overwhelming his senses. He barely registered Grayson pulling him back from a collapsing beam, her curses lost in the roar of the inferno.“She’s gone, Mark!” Grayson shouted, her voice breaking through the chaos. “You can’t save her!”Mark’s body trembled, his fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. “She’s not gone,” he growled. “She can’t be.”Grayson yanked him away from another falling ember, her grip firm. “You’re no good to her dead. Pull yourself together! If Edward has her, we’ll find her. But not like this.”Mark stopped struggling, his chest heaving with exertion and rage. He cast one last, desperate look at the burning wreckage before turning away. “If Edward’s taken her, then he’s made the biggest mistake of his life.”Grayson nodded, her sharp eyes scanning the area. “

Felicia’s pulse quickened as Edward’s face came into view, his smug expression illuminated by the flickering lights of the warehouse. The cold concrete beneath her feet sent shivers up her spine as the two masked men dragged her forward, her wrists still bound tightly. She stumbled, but they held her upright, their grips bruising her arms.Edward stepped closer, his every movement deliberate. His dark eyes studied her, a sinister gleam in them. “Well, Felicia,” he began, his voice smooth and condescending, “you’ve been quite the thorn in my side.”Felicia glared at him, summoning all the courage she could muster. “What do you want from me?” she demanded, her voice sharper than she expected.Edward tilted his head, his smirk widening. “Straight to the point, I see. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. You always did have that… defiant streak. It’s one of the few things I respect about you.” He gestured toward a rickety chair in the middle of the room. “Please, have a seat. Let’s talk.”

The explosion tore through the east wing of the estate, the force of it sending shockwaves that rattled the ground beneath Mark’s feet. His ears rang, and the acrid stench of smoke filled the air. The flames roared to life, casting a hellish glow across the night.“Felicia!” Mark shouted, his voice raw and frantic.Grayson grabbed his arm, trying to pull him back. “Mark, no! You can’t go in there! It’s too dangerous!”“She’s in there!” he roared, shoving her away. His eyes were wild, his focus solely on the blazing inferno. “Felicia and our baby are in there!”Grayson’s face twisted in frustration, but before she could say more, Edward’s mocking laugh cut through the chaos.“Touching, really,” Edward drawled, his expression smug as he watched the scene unfold. He adjusted his cuffs as though he weren’t standing in the middle of destruction. “But you should have known better than to bring her here. You practically handed her to me.”Mark turned on him, fury erupting in every word. “Wha

The SUV screeched to a halt in front of the sprawling Blackwood estate, a house that had once symbolized power, legacy, and untouchable wealth. Now, it felt like an uneasy sanctuary amidst the chaos. Mark helped Felicia out of the car, his eyes scanning the shadows for any sign of pursuit. The night was eerily quiet, but his instincts screamed that they weren’t safe yet.Grayson stepped out and leaned against the vehicle, her sharp eyes assessing the surroundings. “This where you’re hiding out?” she asked, a trace of skepticism in her voice.Mark gave her a curt nod. “It’s more secure than it looks. Butler Thompson has been keeping it off the radar.”Felicia looked up at the towering structure, the weight of the evening pressing down on her. “Let’s just get inside.”The heavy oak doors creaked open as Butler Thompson greeted them, his expression shifting from relief to alarm as he took in their disheveled appearances. “Master Mark, Madam Felicia, what in heaven’s name happened?”Mark’

The dim light of the warehouse cast long shadows across the concrete floor, the air thick with tension. Victoria stood tall, her face twisted with cold satisfaction as she held the Blackwood ledger in her gloved hand. Felicia and Mark, bruised and restrained, were forced to their knees before her. Edward leaned casually against a pillar, his smirk growing wider with every passing second.“You’ve always underestimated me, Mark,” Victoria said, her voice a venomous melody. “And now, look at you. Helpless. Weak. Just like your father.”Mark’s eyes blazed with fury, his muscles straining against the ropes binding his wrists. “Say whatever you want, Victoria. This isn’t over.”Victoria chuckled, the sound echoing eerily in the empty warehouse. “Oh, Mark. It’s been over for your family for decades. You just didn’t know it.”Felicia struggled against her restraints, her voice sharp with defiance. “If you think this is the end, you’re wrong. You’ve spent your life destroying others, but we’l

Or so she thought. She feared that knowing this information, someone was going to kidnap her.Felicia’s mind raced as she sat in the backseat of the cab heading toward the small apartment she shared with Mark. Her breath came in shallow gasps, and her hands trembled uncontrollably in her lap. The revelation about her parentage had shaken her to the core. Eleanor Blackwood, her biological mother? The truth was almost too surreal to comprehend. The woman she had thought was her mother—Victoria Feathering—had lied to her, manipulated her entire life for power.Felicia clenched her fists, her heart aching. Every decision Victoria had made, every manipulation, every act of cruelty toward Mark—it all made sense now. The Featherings had destroyed the Blackwoods, stolen their legacy, and now expected her to betray the one person she trusted most.Mark.She reached for her phone again, her fingers hovering over his number. She had to tell him everything. The betrayal, the lies, the danger. He

Felicia stared at the woman she had called her mother all her life, her world crumbling piece by piece. Her hands trembled, gripping the edge of the table as she sought answers.“Who are you?!” she demanded, her voice breaking. “If you’re not my mother, then who is?”Victoria—no, the woman posing as Victoria Feathering—took a step back, her carefully crafted composure faltering. Edward’s smirk widened as he leaned casually against the wall, clearly enjoying the scene unfolding before him.“Tell her,” Edward prodded, his voice venomous. “Or should I?”Victoria’s lips tightened, and she cast a venomous glare at Edward. “You’ve said enough! This isn’t your place.”Felicia slammed her fist against the table, her voice ringing with uncharacteristic authority. “No more lies! No more games! I need the truth—now!”Victoria hesitated, her gaze flickering between Edward and Felicia. For the first time, Felicia saw something unfamiliar in her eyes: fear. With a trembling breath, Victoria began.
