Wosh! Wosh!Harrison was still having a dream where he was a hero saving a little boy from the street when a cold substance that was freezing was thrown at his body.Waaaaa!He jerked out of sleep only to find himself drenched with water and so many men were surrounding him.“Little prick, how can you be looking like that when you are passed out? Feels you were hunting me.” Larry said with disgust.At first, Harrison’s vision wasn’t clear yet, but after recalling whose voice it was, he jerked up and his entire system responded. His vision became clear, and he was able to see properly.“Larry?” He exclaimed, looking shocked. It felt like he woke up from a dream into a nightmare. These were the same people who went into hiding a long time ago and with all the resources Sterling Corporation has, to find them was impossible but now here they were.“Shock to see us? You asshole!” Larry snapped and sent a kick at Harrison's face. The impact was so heavy that it broke Harrison's nose and blo
“Any last words?” Larry smiled while caressing the trigger button, enjoying every moment.“But you know I can give you double of what she did? I am richer, don't you want to earn bigger?” Harrison smiled. However, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.His mother-in-law was working with these people, and she had disclosed his information to them to be used, that would be the only way they could have figured he was boarding a taxi.After banishing him, she still went too far just to get rid of him. She hated him for being broke, but he never thought she could sell him out.“Pay double?” Raymond's lips curled as he came forward. “You don't get it, do you? You snatched everything from us, and you think we will believe any word you say? To us, your blood is better than money.” He added.“But you collected money before coming to get me.” Harrison raised a brow at him.“And so? Where do you think we got the money to buy all these cars and pay these men? And don't think it was recently. Th
“Meet you at Star City Hotel? I must ask my husband before coming.” Caroline replied, and immediately Rachel's heart thumped faster. She quickly composed herself and spoke.“What nonsense are you saying? Do you need your husband's permission before seeing your mother? Is that how you have disregarded me?” Rachel snapped.“That's not it. He has to know about my whereabouts. I can't just go without letting him know.” Caroline tried to explain but it didn't look like it was taking effect.“What nonsense. I have called you to apologize and make things right, and you still don't want to come over?” Rachel snarled.“I even booked an appointment for you with the CEO of a multinational corporation. Are you telling me it's a waste of effort?” Rachel sparked.Hearing that, Caroline became fired up. She has been jobless for a while now and couldn't support her family. If she could get her hands on that job, then they could as well upgrade their lives. However, she also thought about keeping it
Whitman drove into Star City hotel parking lot. He had questions but decided to keep it to himself. Earlier, he heard the conversation Caroline was having, and it appeared she was going to meet her stepmother.But why not meet her at home? Why bring her to a hotel instead? Whitman was puzzled. He also knew her mother was someone shady but didn't say anything, so it wouldn't appear like he was aiming to tarnish her image.“Thank you. I will go in now.” Caroline thanked him before hopping down. Then she walked into the hotel. As the name implies, it was a place of high standard, and booking a reservation here couldn't be done by just anyone but rich people.Caroline stared in awe but was also stunned that her mom would bring her here for a meeting.“Please, I am looking for Rachel Samson. She booked a reservation here.” Caroline said to the receptionist.“Right. Miss Rachel asked me to personally welcome you. You can go to the top floor, room 5.” the receptionist smiled.Hearing such, C
Caroline couldn't get her head over what just happened. It was too good to be real. Her family had sold her out to a horror-looking man. Was this supposed to be a torture or wickedness?She quickly wanted to run towards the door, but Micheal was all over her. His size gave him the advantage as he loomed over her with a smirk on his face.“All you have to do is to open your legs nice and slow, then it will be over for today,” Micheal said with pleasure written all over his face. After thoroughly checking her body, he licked his lips as though it were a candy that was given to me.“Let me go! I have a husband. You won't like what he will do to you!” Caroline threatened, but he smiled instead. It seems the news hadn't broken to her yet that her husband was dead, so he decided to tell her himself.“Harrison or who are you talking about?” He asked with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.“You know him? Then you must know he is dangerous.” Caroline stood her ground, trying to instill fear in h
Immediately the door was flung open everyone was startled. They looked towards it only to find a tall slim man covered in blood. His gaze was as sharp as a knife as he stared at them.Their breathing paused. They even forgot they had noses on their faces due to how tough his aura was. On the other hand, Whitman's eyes lit up. He quickly got his strength back and stood up."Young master?" He called out excitedly. Though he was shocked as to why he was covered in blood, his appearance alone mattered a lot at that instant.Harrison walked in further. His eyes were intensely staring at Michael Du when he spoke."You dare you touch my wife?" He grumbled. His voice was deep enough to send shivers."What are you doing? Attack that guy right away!" Micheal ordered his men. His eyes glinted with fear as he yelled. It was like watching a dead man come back to life.Rachel had shown him a picture of Harrison dead on the floor but somehow the lad was here? How the hell did they happen or was all
Everyone aside from her wasn't shocked by the situation. But what was bothering Harrison was why she offered fifty million out of that money so he should be killed. The amount was rather shocking to him. He never expected such."Why did she offer someone Fifty million to kill me?" He asked the question anyway."Because she won't have to pay back the two hundred million. I have wanted Caroline for a long time now but sadly she was married to you so I proposed a deal to your mother-in-law. I told her I was ready to forfeit the money if she handed Caroline to me!" He paused and took a hard gulp."She accepted and decided to kill you off so I can have her. I never knew she could trick me!" Micheal grumbled thinking he was betrayed after seeing Harrison alive."No! She didn't betray you. I was lucky and I'll thank Whitman for that." Harrison said smiling."Me? How?" Whitman couldn't hold the urge to ask."I was glad you added a vest to my clothes that time and I wore it. I think the mater
“Please spare us. We will never do such a thing ever again.” The receptionist said quickly after seeing the terrifying sight. She knew eventually she would be next. Going through such would be a traumatic experience and from the way the guard was screaming, she could tell.“What did you say? I should spare you?” Lucas grinned and shot the guard who was kneeling right in the head. The others were startled by this and wanted to run, but he shot them too, leaving just the receptionist.Anyone who dared to trouble Harrison should be dealt with in the worst way ever. Lucas had sworn to take that task upon himself, and right now, he was carrying it out.Watching all this, The receptionist lost her voice. She didn't know if she was to shout or keep quiet and watch them. Already she knew none of that option was going to save her. After all, she was the one who took the lead when face-slapping Harrison.The whole place was covered with blood, and hers was next. “Now tell me, do you have any l

“You must have thought you were way too smart to be dealt with. You got me so bad that I thought I was done for. I have never faced an opponent like you and for that, I’ll give you a ten. You are damn good!” Harrison said with a hint of mockery in his tone and Edward became pissed.However, he tried to think about what went wrong to make his plan fail and how it was so hard for him to figure out what was going on. In a thousand years, he would never expect someone as low as Ramon to be able to exceed him in intellectual strategy.“What? Don’t tell me you are spacing out at such times. And why weren’t you able to figure out what was going on? I mean, you have cameras watching, don't you?” Harrison said sarcastically.Edward felt pressured and it felt like the right time for Harrison to make it harder on him. After all, Harrison suffered the same fate earlier.“How did I not figure this out?” Edward finally said, scolding himself.“Because you are so dumb to notice.” Harrison fired at h
Being indoors for a long while had made their senses a bit shaken off and when they had to adjust to a sudden brightness, they couldn’t help but blink their eyes multiple times.Everyone was shocked to see someone had walked into a room. An unknown someone they didn’t know but were so desperate to see his face, yet their sight was failing to adjust to the light.However, after the figure spoke, every single effect of the sudden brightness was washed off and replaced with curiosity.Starting from the leg, everyone scanned the figure from the toe, slowly heading to his face. When they arrived at the finish point, they all nearly fell on their backs.“Ramon?” Everyone yelled seemingly as though they had seen a ghost. It had to be a ghost right, or maybe their senses were playing tricks on them? They just couldn’t figure it out as their jaws were wide open, almost dropping to the floor.“Jesus Christ! What the hell is this?” Edward yelled, shaking his head from side to side to see if ever
Back inside the small cabin in the rural area.Edward and the others were seated on the couch watching the Television. They weren’t watching the news but something else. There were some wireless connected cameras fixed in some certain place while the television displayed each of those scenes that happened in each place Furthermore, there was a remote control in Edward’s hand, and he was able to make each scene that was showing in a mini spot on the screen occupy the whole screen, so everyone could have their view of what was happening.Right there, on the screen, it was showing that Harrison just walked into the hospital ward. Not only could Edward and the others watch what was going on, but they were able to hear the conversation that was going on.Meanwhile, Larry who was seated at the far end of the room was enjoying the show the most since he was the one who delivered the flower directly to her. He played his part so well that she was unable to recognize him. Of course, he was pu
“Linda right?” Caroline asked, and the delivery man nodded at her before handing the flowers to her. She extended her hand and grabbed the vase. It was such a perfect piece as it had an ancient drawing sculptured on it. The material looked like glass, yet it was made of wood. The way it was polished alone was unique and must be a very costly piece.At once glance, Caroline took notice of it but what she was more invested about was how nice the flowers were. She couldn't resist the urge to dip her nose into it and allow the fragrance to waft into her nostrils.Bang!Just then the door was pushed open and Lucas pushed his head in. The moment he saw her with flowers he was shocked as he knew it wasn't there before and it wasn't like he saw anyone bring it in.That was when Caroline pulled out of the enjoyable feeling she was in. Her mind ran back to the lad who brought the flowers, and she wanted to thank him but after looking she noticed he was nowhere to be found. Rather, there was Lu
“Hello sis, how are you doing?” Linda's voice rang through the phone as soon as the call was picked up, and the receiver was left in shock. It took a while and there was no response. Nervously, Linda peeked glances at the phone to see if it was disconnected, but it wasn't.“Caroline? Are you there?” She called out again before a reply came through.“What do you want?” Caroline replied seemingly disgusted. “Are you calling to make more trouble? Remember I don't have that time at the moment, please.” She concluded and wanted to end the call when Linda spoke.“I am sorry.” She said and shockingly, Caroline couldn't bring herself to hang up. The words she just heard were too good to be true, yet it didn't feel like she was dreaming.Linda just apologized? Caroline started doubting her senses. She was unable to let herself fall for such a trap like before. She had witnessed too much and it was energy draining. Her stepmother pointed a gun at her and would have killed her if not for a mira
“Shit! The police department?” Whitman murmured the words out, as he would rather not be noticed by the caller. Moreover, everyone had their guard up thinking the place was surrounded by the police.There wasn’t any siren sound or any movement, so it must be an unnoticeable operation, right? Those were the thoughts that were running inside their heads as quickly Larry and Raymond took a peep at the window but there was no one outside.They felt a sigh of relief, but that didn’t quench their suspicion. They knew not to let their guard down. Never.“Yes, who am I speaking with?” Edward replied trying hard to keep his composure. He suddenly looked calm and collected like he wasn’t the same person who was nervous not long ago.Already he had speculated that whoever it was, it had to be someone who knew him. The number was private and after picking up, the caller said he was from the police department.After realizing all this, Edward wanted to laugh out loud, but he chose to play along fi
“What’s the meaning of this? Why are you pointing a gun at my head?” Whitman was shocked by the turn of events. He didn’t expect them to come to his house and threaten him.“You are his ally ain’t you? I’ve seen you a couple of times with that brat called Harrison. Who knows, maybe you are here working for him undercover.” Larry spits his suspicion while Raymond nods his head in support.“Stand down!” Edward snapped but was being ignored. “I said bring the gun down!” He said again and yet no one paid a listening ear to him.“It’s the opposite. I am working with Edward here to bring Harrison down.” Whitman explained.“What? Don’t be shitting me. You are the same person who gave out our hideout to Harrison, and you want us to believe you? You should talk fast before I put four bullets into your thick skull!” Larry threatened.The look on his face was so cold, signifying his threats wasn’t a bluff. Already, he had adjusted the gun and had his finger wrapped around the trigger button. Any
The tension became hot and it felt like air was sucked out of their lungs leaving them dry and vulnerable. That should be the time when they should bow their heads and beg for forgiveness, but the men didn’t look like they would.Though they were shocked by his words, there was no trace of fear radiating off them. It felt like they had gradually made up their minds to accept death.Noticing this, Whitman was quite stunned. He knew their loyalty was as tough as a rock, but in the face of death, anyone was supposed to shiver.Smiling, he pulled out a gun and cracked it, then pointed it at one of them.“Swear loyalty to me and I will spare your life.” He said instead as the thought of using them against Harrison would seem befitting to him.“Tch!” All the men spat at his face at once as though they were all in sync with each other. Their eyes were stern as they held nothing but disgust. If not for the fact that they were being tied, they would have lunged at him by now.“Wrap things up
