Helen said no words and made no panicking actions so as not to spook her secretary, she simply stepped aside for Leo to come in and promptly closed and locked the door behind him."What happened? Did anyone accost you on the way? Give me a name and I'll make sure heads roll" Helen said in fury as she rushed over to check on Leo's bruised face."Helen now isn't the time to think about revenge. A few days ago I saw a Honda Civic parked a few blocks away from here and I've seen it a few more times since then so I began to suspect I was being followed""I went home as quickly as I could and packed some things to leave because my house location was compromised. I called for an Uber and got in only for me to feel a gun at the back of my neck" Leo sighed as he recounted the events."A gun? Did they tell you what they wanted? Helen asked in worry."Not exactly, but they told me who sent them. Damon Fisher was the one, he said he wanted to see me. What I don't understand is why he had to kidna
Leo kept a neutral expression on his face as he waited for Damon to walk into his office. His door opened smoothly as the elderly man walked in. Damon Fisher was easily the same age as Mr Jones but he looked way better probably because he hadn't spent the last year fighting a poison in his system."Good day Mr. Dubois" Damon greeted with a smile as he walked into the room. Leo didn't smile back and the smile soon disappeared from his face. "What do you want Mr Fisher?" Leo asked in a dull tone."The question isn't what I want Mr Dubois. The question is what do you want?" Damon replied his question with another of his own as he sat on the chair opposite Leo."What I want? That's a pretty tough question to answer" Leo replied with a slight smile."No it isn't hard to answer, what do you want? Do you want riches and power and glory or do you want to end up in an unmarked grave under a random tree in the West Side" Damon said in an angry tone."Do I smell a threat there Mr. Fisher?" Leo
Arthur Columbus parked his Maybach in front of the little community church in a tiny town outside of the city. He gave the entire environment a disgusted glance before walking quietly into the church.He took off his hat and approached the only person inside the church. It was a middle aged man who was bent over kneeling before the altar and mumbling some sort of prayer to himself. As Arthur approached he held up his hands to let him know not to disturb him until he was done so Arthur took a seat on one of the front pews.The man finished his prayer and grabbed his walking stick from the ground before turning around to look at Arthur. He took one long look at him before sighing and turning away."You are quite bold to even step foot into this building and for that I'll spare you today but the next time I see you or any other member of your filthy family inside my church I'll feed you to my dogs" he threatened before trying to walk out with a slight limp."Do you know how much your stu
Leo watched the city lights go up from his hotel room as darkness slowly engulfed the city. He had a glass of smooth red wine in his hands and he swirled the delicious drink around in it's glass not even giving it a sip. He had a lot on his mind and his dark face was another confirmation of that.[Let all be ware. A new dawn is coming. A beast shall walk the grounds of this town and when the sun shines anew, it shall burn away all that is old and the beast shall build itself a fortress from the bones of its enemies and all that defies it]It was a quote from a Georgian writer of little appraisal who lived a few hundred years ago. It was known generally among the people of the Divine Clan as the prophecy of doom and they held the sacred responsibility of stopping the beast from walking the ground.'There's no way Damon would have been correct about the prophecy. This isn't the first time the prophecy has been rumoured to occur" Leo had a bad feeling about everything happening but he tr
Leo quickly grabbed hold of his briefcase and dived into the bathroom, he waited a few minutes until the footsteps receded out of his hearing range before coming out. He tiptoed out of the room and took the stairs down. He knew that there would be someone waiting at the front of the hotel so he avoided the dining area and followed the back of the hotel.The minute he got to the garden behind the hotel he began running at his full speed but at a sharp bend he tried to turn within looking and he ran directly into somebody."Oof!" He grunted as him and the person tumbled to the floor. It took him less than a second to regain his senses and he realized that he had bumped into a woman and his head was currently rested on her breasts and he knew who the woman was from her nice smell.Melissa.He quickly pushed off her body and got up to help her up. She gave him a weird stare before accepting his help."What are you doing out here this late and why are you in such a hurry?" She asked as she
Helen sat in the room opposite Arthur and she felt uncomfortable because she didn't like the looks he was giving her. It was as if he knew something that she didn't. She hadn't heard from Leo since the last night and she was beginning to worry excessively. "You look nervous Helen, what's happening? Why is your lapdog not here yet?" Arthur asked with a mischievous smile. "You bastard! What have you done to him?" Helen replied with a threatening tone and Arthur shrunk away in mock fear. "I haven't done anything to him... yet" Arthur smiled again. "You see, by now my assassins already have him in their possession and are awaiting my orders. I only came to this meeting as a formality, I never had any plans to sign the merger but I have a counter proposal that could help you save your boyfriend" Helen gave Arthur a long hard glare before sighing and giving up. "What do you want Arthur?" She asked him in a resigned tone. "I will release him if you agree to marry me and make me y
Melissa walked into the Jones Corporation building in grace as paparazzi took photos of her every step of the way.She navigated her way through the halls and eventually found herself standing in front of Leo's secretary who she could describe in two words; beautiful and rude. She hated the way the lady ignored her and focused on filing her nails and she cleared her throat three times before she looked up and gave her an angry glare for disturbing her little make-up session."I'm here to see Leo" Melissa said with an air of authority but the lady only looked at the list in front of her for a second before going back to her nails."You don't have an appointment so you can't see him. Make an appointment and come back later" the lady replied rudely and Melissa wanted to grab her nail file and slit her throat with it. "Please what's your name?" Melissa asked nicely this time but it made no difference to Leo's secretary."Marie, but knowing my name is not getting you in to see Leo. Go get
Leo looked at Melissa with a mixture of surprise and disappointment. She was obviously not happy about marrying this guy but she was still going ahead with it. "Why? I honestly thought you had some integrity. Why would you be doing this simply for connections" Leo asked with reproach in his voice."I didn't come here to be judged Leo and I'll appreciate it very much if you just respected me and not try to make me feel any worse than I do right now" Melissa said to him."Alright, alright, but if you wanted someone who would hide the facts and sugarcoat the truth then you shouldn't have come to me" Leo said as he laid off on reproaching her."I know, this was a big mistake" she said as she stood up to leave but a thin piece of paper beautifully designed with red and gold colours fell out of her handbag and Leo was at her side to pick it up in a heartbeat."A wedding invitation? Wait, so you were going to leave here without giving me this?" Leo looked at her in shock."Your presence at
