“What do I want? I want you to hand over that woman to me and when I am out of here safely, I will let her go” the man said, smiling. After sweating profusely for a long time, he was now calm, seeming to have the situation under control.Caroline, who heard this, shivered in fright. No words could come out of her mouth as all she could do was hide behind Lucas to save herself.“What the heck are you saying? You want us to give her to you?” Lucas picked offense.“Yes. I can't guarantee you guys will let me go, so it's better to take preventive measures. The moment I am out of here, I will let her go!” the man replied.“How sure can we be that you won't just kidnap her anyway? And how about Harrison? How sure can we be that you will let him go too?” Ramon asked.The situation was turning complicated and both sides were not ready to back down for the other. Each side thought the other was trying to use the opportunity to advantage, making things worse.From Ramon's perspective, he figure
“Huh? What did you say?” The guard replied, daring Harrison to repeat what he said.“I said you are such a prick. The only good you can do is guarding. I think you must be so weak that your boss decided to get rid of you!” Harrison repeated, aiming to rile it up, and it was working.The guard gritted his teeth tight and with his fingers balled into a fist as he glared daggers at Harrison.“He didn’t get rid of me. I just have to guard a dunce like you!” the guard sneered.“Guard? Did you just say, guard? That’s only what you are good at? I bet you don’t even know how to throw punches or use a gun,” Harrison taunted, enjoying every bit of it.“What the fuck did you just say? Or do you want me to try some punches on you?” The guard asked, daring Harrison. He was feeling pushed to the edge and wanted to prove it by breaking some of Harrison’s bones. In his head, he had started imagining it already.“Yes. It’s not like you can do shit! Why don’t you get me out of these chains, then we see
“I won’t tell you shit! I won’t sell out my boss. Never!” The guard yelled. Even though he was still shivering from Harrison’s wrath, his loyalty seemed to be firm, but Harrison thought he needed to break him to spill what he wanted.“Even in the face of death, you still want to defend your boss?” Harrison sneered.“What you can do to me can’t be compared to that of my boss. So whatever you have in mind, get it over with” the man said, admitting defeat as he saw no way to break free from Harrison.“Are you sure about that? You know, I am going to kill you!” Harrison threatened again and started choking him but didn’t press harder to make him tremble and spill what he wanted, but the man refused to.It seemed it wasn’t out of loyalty alone but more of fear. Harrison could tell endless torture would be waiting for the man if he gave out his boss.But then, Harrison wasn’t the type who would kill someone irrespective of their offense unless they had gone beyond boundaries. To him, this m
“We won’t make it! Duck!” Lucas yelled and grabbed Caroline, forcing her to lie down on the floor. The others who were running quickly lay down on the floor to avoid getting caught in the blast.Already, their fast legs had got them almost out of the hotel when the blast happened. But then they weren’t saved. The impact swept them off the floor and crashed into cars that were in their front.Lucas quickly used his body to shield Caroline while the others could handle themselves. Bang!The high-pitched sound echoed after they collided with the cars. Windows broke and glass shattered to the floor, bruising some of them. However, the reason the impact of the explosion didn’t do much damage to them was the fact that the material they were wearing was made with Kelva. It was a strong and lightweight material used even in bulletproof. Having their suits made with that for preventive measures saved lives.That was the reason why Lucas was quick to shield Caroline with his body since he wa
The CT scan started as Harrison was slid into a large donut-shaped machine called a gantry. The gantry emits a narrow beam of X-rays that rotates around his body, scanning it.As the X-rays passed through his body, they were detected by a series of detectors that were located on the other side of the gantry. The doctor paid attention as the machine started working while waiting to get a result from it. His eyes kept darting from the gantry down to a computer that would process the information and give out a result.Meanwhile, Whitman was escorted out of the unit so the doctor and others could have a proper time to examine Harrison properly. But then, Whitman stood outside watching through the wall that was made from glass.Meanwhile, the doctor kept on doing what he could to the best of his knowledge. The first thing he tried to check was if Harrison had a Brain turmoil. With all the blood dripping from his head and after he was blasted with a rod, the doctor could only come up with s
Back at Samson villa.“Days have passed and yet Grandmother is not picking up any of our calls. Don’t you think it’s time we visit her and talk things out?” Stephen said amidst the silence that enveloped the room.“How do we even do that when she threw us out? The guards in her house won’t even let us in. Don’t you remember what happened that day?” Linda reminded him, and once again silence reigned.Nobody said anything for a while. Their allowance had been cut off and even their salary. The money in their accounts was going down and if it kept on like this then the Samson family might go broke.Grandmother cut them off from the family business after what happened with Sterling Corporation. She told them that if they could bring anyone to secure a deal with them, then maybe they could get a chance.Rachel had done all her findings and no one was ready to come to her rescue after the show she put out the other day. Everyone was scared of being misled and ending up losing a big sum of mo
A man with an imposing presence walked into the villa with some other men walking behind him. The way he was classically dressed would leave anyone staring for a long period, assuming he was their dream model.He walked further in, and the guards couldn’t even look up his way or shut the door in his face. His presence alone told them he was someone of high importance.When Rachel saw him walking in, she couldn’t decipher the puzzle in her head. She felt locked in a daze for a while, staring, before she remembered what her daughter said.“You must be Edward, right?” She said with disgust creeping off her face. She stared at him from head to toe, absenting the fact that he was with some other bulky men who could run down the place in seconds.“Madam. I can see I am welcomed, right?” Edward said, trying to make himself comfortable amidst the heavy stares he was feeling on him.He wanted to approach Linda first, but it was only proper for him to go through her mom so he could win her favo
Everyone had their eyes pinned on every detail, waiting for what would unfold before their eyes. The seriousness on Edward's face wasn’t just convincing, but it made the air stiffen with tension.One of Edward's bodyguards ran out of the house towards the car and came back with a big box. Edward smiled after realizing he had gained all their attention.Now it was his moment! This would be when they take back their words and how they have degraded him since he stepped foot in there.“You think I am broke? You think I can’t partner with this family?” Edward snapped at Linda in particular and had her eyes pinned to his movements as he opened the box and brought out a stack of cash.“You see…” he started while flipping the bundle in the air, making the whole room hot.” you don’t judge anyone too easily” he added and untied the bundle then threw the cash at her face.She got hit by it but didn’t say a word. Her eyes pinned on every cash that was floating in the air until it settled down to
