“What are you talking about? What do you mean?” John asked, his eyes lighting up with both surprise and interest. The flicker of the dim light reflected in his widened pupils, making the room feel even more secretive. The loud music from the outside echoed in his ears.

Brad had moved John to a small room filled with shadows, a place where secrets were meant to be shared. It was just the two of them, no guards in sight.

Brad stood there, staring directly at John with a drink in his hand, the glass catching the light and casting tiny reflections on the walls. “Exactly what you heard. I want to end Stephanie and I want you to join forces with me,” Brad repeated, his voice steady and his eyes displaying no signs of fear. The determination in his gaze was unwavering, almost hypnotic.

John was tight-lipped for a moment, his mind racing as he processed what Brad had said. He didn’t know how to react or what to feel about Brad’s declaration, whether to be worried or intrigued. The weight of t

    “No.”John came back to his crib and could not shake off his conversation with Brad. There was no way he would have said yes to aligning with Brad, not even in his dreams. He trusted no one at all in the underworld, and most especially, it wouldn’t be Brad he would start trusting.But one thing was sure, his guess that Stephanie was working with someone was confirmed, and his thoughts ran back to Gabriel Blake. He was now more intentional and reinvigorated in finding out who he was.“Do not dare say whatever we discussed here with anyone,” Brad had commanded him when he was about to leave.“Go order your workers,” John had coldly said before he left his presence. Brad was extremely angry, frowning, but he kept his anger in check and just clenched his fists while John walked away.John, while back at the mansion and in his room, crossed his legs and thought about things, most especially about figuring out more about Gabriel Blake before he slept off.The next morning, Stephanie sent so

    “I don’t understand?” John said, feigning ignorance of what she had just said. Modelisa, however, moved from the side of John and came to stand in front of him once more. Her eyes locked onto his with an intensity that made John’s skin crawl. “Are you sure you don’t understand, huh, John Beckham?” she asked, her gaze piercing through him. John tried to contain his uneasiness, determined not to fall prey to Modelisa’s mind games. He knew she was trying to break him, but he steeled himself against the rising tide of anxiety. “I was with no one,” John finally said, trying to inject a note of confidence into his tone. His eyes met Modelisa’s defiantly, though he could feel his resolve wavering under her scrutiny. Modelisa frowned, and the tension in the room thickened. John’s mind raced, wondering what exactly Modelisa was getting at. Her silence was killing him, the unspoken words hanging in the air like a guillotine waiting to drop. “Where were you last night after work, and why did

    Later that day, after the face-off with Modelisa, John left his workplace, his mind swirling with confusion and frustration. His thoughts were like a tangled mess, each one pulling him in different directions. The encounter with Modelisa had left him reeling, and he desperately needed to talk to Miss B.“Are you at the penthouse? I really need to see you right now,” John asked Miss B over the phone, his voice tinged with urgency.“No, I’m not. I’m at the office but about to leave for the penthouse,” Miss B replied, her tone calm and reassuring. “Is something wrong?” she added, a hint of concern in her voice.John dug his fingers into his hair, the pressure building in his skull. “No, I just need to see you. We have a few things to talk about,” he said, shrugging and sighing as if Miss B were standing right in front of him.“You could go to the penthouse. I’m sure to be there before you arrive,” Miss B said with her usual calm, soft voice.“Okay,” John replied and dropped the call.He

    “That’s because he approached me some time back,” Miss B explained. “He wasn’t very clear, but it was about helping him bring down Stephanie. At the time, I didn’t take it to heart; I saw it as just another business alliance proposal. But now I see that he is serious.”John nodded, absorbing this new piece of information. “Interesting,” he murmured, more to himself than to Miss B.“Do you think we should be worried about him or consider forming an alliance with him?” Miss B quizzed, her eyes locking onto John’s, seeking his perspective.John was silent for a moment, deep in thought. The risks were numerous and daunting. “There’s too much risk involved,” he began slowly. “I know Brad likely has some details that we’re oblivious to, but it’s not advisable to trust anyone at this point. We can’t afford to make any missteps. I’m going to keep an eye on both Stephanie and Brad, figure out if they are working hand in hand. We’ve come too far to mess things up now,” John stated firmly, his

    “What is that?” John asked with uneasiness, looking out with anxiousness.“After you told me about Gabriel Blake and told me to find out more about him, I sent out a few details. Finally, I just got a text from one of my lookout guys after scavenging about Gabriel Blake and Jeffery,” Miss B explained while adjusting her dress to cover her nakedness even more.John nodded his head and narrowed his eyes, the intensity of his urge to find out what Miss B had discovered glaring in his eyes. “So what?” The suspense was killing him.“Gabriel and Jeffery frequent a hotel for meetings. Probably because they lack a better place, but then I’m not sure,” Miss B explained.John contracted his eyes. “A hotel for meetings?”“Yeah, that’s what I got, but I’m not sure about the details,” Miss B shrugged.John heaved a sigh and allowed the words to deepen in his mind. “What hotel?” he asked while stroking his beard.Miss B quickly looked back and tapped a finger on her phone, which was about to go to

    “Hi, Mr. John,” DD Patel greeted him with a smile as he entered.DD Patel was in her mid-fifties, dressed in a corporate black suit that accentuated her commanding presence. Her dark hair cascaded over her shoulders, adding a touch of elegance to her professional demeanor. The office itself was a testament to luxury and power, with tasteful decor, rich wooden furniture, and an expansive view of the city skyline.“Good day, Patel,” John greeted, trying to match her poise.He had met Patel at a conference once, but at the time, she wasn’t on his level. That was a long time ago. The other time was when he tried to book an exclusive dinner night with Stephanie during the second year of their marriage. That memory was bittersweet now, a stark contrast to his current reality.“It’s been a while,” she said after shaking hands with John, her smile warm but guarded.“Yes,” John confirmed and sat down. “I need your help,” he went straight to the point, not wanting to waste time with pleasantri

    John's brows lifted, forming a questioning arc above his eyes as he leaned in slightly, his gaze fixated on DD Patel. "Can you lend me a hand with something else?" he inquired, his voice a mixture of hope and uncertainty.Curiosity tinged DD Patel's expression as she awaited his request, her features betraying her eagerness to uncover his intentions.A moment stretched between them, pregnant with anticipation, as John pondered his words, searching for the right way to broach the subject."Before I delve into it, I need to ask: do they have a designated space they frequent?" John's tone was cautious, his hands coming together in a silent plea for understanding.DD Patel shook her head slowly, her lips forming a regretful line. "No, they don't confine themselves to a single room," she responded, her voice tinged with a hint of disappointment. "And as for installing a camera, I'm afraid that's out of the question. I'm willing to assist in any other way, but that request crosses a boundar

    “I still can’t believe we’ve finally gotten rid of Stephanie and all the drama she brought into our lives,” Miss B said, her voice laced with a mixture of relief and lingering disbelief. She was seated opposite John, her eyes scanning his face for any signs of the tumultuous emotions that had plagued them both in the recent past. The weight of the ordeal they had endured was still fresh, but so was the sweet taste of victory.John’s lips curled into a smirk, a subtle but telling expression that spoke volumes of the satisfaction brewing within him. The long, arduous battle that had consumed their lives had finally reached its conclusion. Stephanie, Jeffrey, and their cohorts, who had once loomed large over their lives like dark, ominous clouds, were now nothing more than a distant, fading memory. However, beneath the surface of his triumphant exterior, John couldn’t shake the shadow of sorrow that lingered in his heart, a sorrow born from the irreplaceable loss of his son, James, in

    "It's not fair you know " Carl smirked as he advanced into the Training chamber. Seeing him disgusted me and also scared my ass out. He stopped abruptly where I stood and gosh, I felt like he really had an ulterior motive." Sorry Carl, we just needed to sweat a little before you arrive" Brad apologies smiling and Carl as well was smiling." No eish man, at least i am here now" I bawled and spanked my ass tight before he walked away giving me a wink. I shook on the spank he gave to me as I wasn't expecting such dirty behavior from him at that time." What's wrong?" Alexis inquired as she noticed the way I shook. I ground my teeth and scowled at Carl but actually that's all I could do." No it's nothing, I am fine" I said, staring at Carl angrily. " Are you sure you're fine" Alexis persisted and I gazed at her pissed off." I just said I am Fucking fine Alex" I snapped and she shrugged." It's Okay, I just noticed some anomaly and that's why I asked." She said and turned her gaze aw

    " It's actually a long story" I said and dabbed my gaze away from hers. I became a little shaky and tense remembering my essence for coming in the first place." Are you sure? You can talk to me" she said and placed her hand on my thighs, slowly rubbing my pants. I glimpsed at her and grunted." Yeah, I am fine. It's really nothing important" I said stuttering but then had a valiant look to make my facade believable. She stared at me for a while and then nodded. I sighed and smiled as well.I sipped the tea but then I realized that I had nowhere to go after taking the tea. My eyes widened and the tea hooked in my throat. I didn't want Chloe's mom to know my broken side, but then I really needed her help in order to know where Adrian lived and how to get to him. "I will be right back, I need to go give Chloe her pills" she said and stood up."Umm hmm" I muttered and nodded, with a fake smile. I watched her walk away and when she was no longer in sight, I dropped the tea cup down and s

    I pulled the door open and peeped outside. It was perch black but then I saw Zelda not so far from the door." Zelda?" I called out not so sure if my mind. She quickly rushed her head and turned back to me. She was backing me earlier before I beckoned on her. " Alina, why are you outside?" She queried and quickly rushed back to me. She walked back to me as I was also standing outside. She stood in front of me and I could read from her uncertain visage that something was wrong."I spoke to Chloe and she told me you were outside. I came to check up on you." I bawle gently, whilst my eyes traveled around still surveying for anyone or anything weird. I was sure I heard a voice when I opened the door before it died off."Oh okay, let's go inside" she said and led the way but then I held her as she tried walking past me. " What's wrong? I am sure you are hiding something from me." I snapped staring into her face. She glared at me and then pushed a smile up. Thought It was very evidently

    " You!!!?" I queried in surprise..I was caught off guard seeing that Zelda was the one who rat me out to Tiana. I was still shocked how she knew I was hiding something."Yes, I did it, '' she said, smiling. My eyes widened in fear and my jaw cracked slightly.we both stared into each other's eyes but then I wondered why she was smiling so broadly."How did you know and why did you do it?" I questioned whilst she took steps closer to me. My eyes didn't blink as I fixated it on her. "I wanted to make you happy and put a smile on your face, '' she bawled. I was totally confused at what she was driving out. She ratted me out to Tiana and said she did it to make me happy. I gasped and gaped in shocn for a couple of seconds. But then how did she know that I was hiding something. That was the question that filled my mind and head."You wanted to make me happy? How is that, I never thought you'd do such to me. What did you even know?" I asked with a firm scowl. Suddenly the smile she had on h

    "Let's go now and avenge Chloe's death,” Zelda snapped. I was also enraged and ready to attack. “ This is what I wanted to hear. I want war” Maddy snarled at me. I huffed and shook as she spoke. I wasn't really expecting it to take as it seemed she ran away when Chloe lost her life.“No, we are not doing that” Adrian said. We all turned out gae at him. He seems very serious but rh I wondered why he was throwing the mission out through the window.“ Why!?“ Zelda questioned immediately before I could even speak. I had to swallow my words which were vait coming out.“ That's because we are not ready. Tiana is not Someone we are going to attack when we are not prepared. She is fully ready for us and she will be waiting for us to take this move. I'm sure she has already laid a trap for us as she did today but this time around we aren't going to get entangled in it”. Adrian said. Thinking about it made me see the reason for his disapproval and it was the best idea.“But what's about Chloe'

    "What the fuck!!" Adrian snapped, staring around. There were about five who walked into the room. One if reh faces looked very familiar.I remembered quickly, it was Jared Adrian's friend who had visited with him. Palaska. He wore a bold face and a scowl. It was obvious he was ready to do and undo." Adrian and his love bird, so this is where hiding" Jared asked. The rest four men wehere behind him..they were all. Dressed in black clothes. He had a smirk. On his face as he swung into that room.I turned to Zelda who seemed very surprised and scared. The atmosphere of the room switched. We would have ran outside using the backdoor, but then the house didn't even have a back door." Jared, so she sent you to get me, '' Adrian added and walked in, standing in front of Zelda and I. He clenched his fist so tightly. His eyes were narrowed."Oh yeah, I am here to get you"Jared poured out and smiled. Then I regretted coming here because if I had suggested that we come take Zelda and Chloe aw

Sir Luca led the way whilst adiea flower and I and the Zelda ass behind me. “This place Is quite dark” I said dn before I could finish my statement, there was light that just popped right on. It was Adrian who turned it on as he flipped a switch. I strolled my eyes around and it was well built and situated.“Do you like it?“ Adrian asked and hid my hand. He stared at me sideways as dropped a scoff.“ I think I do” I whispered. He hid and shook his head. We went deeper into the well widened space. My eyes strolled around as usual and I loved what I saw. There was a bench at the side of the room. The floor was concrete and there was a ring in the middle .“ So Alina, are you ready?“ Sir uxks spoke for.the first time as well entere ..my eyes rolled around and then intoona Depp sigh as I was about entering a different chapter of my life ka trying to see if truly u was capable of being called an Arctic wolf and if truly I was the savior of the region.“ Ye

    " What's wrong Alina?" Adrian questioned with his eyes widely opened in shock as to the way and swiftness with which I sprouted up from the couch."Zelda and Chloe" I said and my hands pressed around my head. I never thought about it but then Tiana was going to get to them if I didn't get to them first. I told her she was my only family. I paced the room very distressed. My heart throbbing out of my body."Zelda and Chloe? What happened to them?" He queried with a stressed gaze and narrowed brows and eyes. I pulled himself up from the bed with his bare chest popping right in my face as I wasn't so far from him." They are in danger. Zelda and her daughter are really in danger. I stayed in her house whilst I worked at the mansion. Tiana knows her and I am very sure she is going to want to get to her. She is going to want to inquire from her where I am because we had lied to her that we are siblings. Tiana is surely going to question her if not harm her" I spat and my hands started shak
