"Andrew please let's go back to the banquet hall, this is not the time for this.""Wait darling, let me speak some sense into this church rat. It is a pity that a grown up man like you is unwilling to improve his life, it seems you are so happy with being the underdog. You do not deserve to be in the same roof with us and your late daughter made the right decision not to come to this world through you."Romeo narrowed his eyes and squeezed his face in anger. He was boiling inside of him. "Speak of my late daughter one more time and I swear to God I am going kill you where you stand and nobody, not even your shitty father, or your bodyguards are going to save you from my hands."Romeo meant every word he said, and he was prepared to carry out his resolve, Andrew just needed to say the words."Your daughter is a…"Linda quickly covered Andrews mouth to avoid any more words from falling out. "You two stop this nonsense right now. We both came to honour my fatherand I would not stand by
With Mr Davidson's fixed gaze at her direction, Mrs Davidson had to come up with something."Honey, I told you it was a wrong act of generosity to award Romeo with such amount of money. I warn you against it, but you turned a deaf ear. However if you must know, he squandered that money, wasting it booze, casino's and all other forms of betting." Mr Davidson furrowed his eyebrows. "Are you serious?""Why would I lie to you my husband? I always told you that this man only portrayed himself as a good man so he could marry our daughter. I knew he was extremely wretched and poor, not just physically, but also mentally.""That is serious. How did you know how he spent the money?""Come on honey, I hired spies to watch him ever since he professed love for our daughter. Information about him was always available to me anytime, until he and Linda got separated.""I can see that." Mr Davidson snorted with displeasure written all over his face.He found it hard to believe everything that Mrs Da
Jensen walked back into the banquet hall with a satisfied grin on his face. Romeo came walked in after, and both men sat down on their respective seats while they watched how the celebrants danced with their respective partners because it was time for music and dancing.While Jensen admired the scenery, Romeo resumed his intake of wine. All the while Mr Davidson had his eyes on Romeo and he had pity on him, seeing that he was all alone, with no companion to share the moment with.Tears rolled down from Mr Davidson's eyes because Romeo reminded him of his humble beginnings when he had no money, when he was snubbed and ridiculed, however he rubbished any negetive thoughts that began to swirl in his thoughts due to what his wife had said about his ex son in-law.Mr Davidson thought it was the right time to get Romeo's own perspective and story concerning the huge sum of money that was to be given so Romeo could start up a business for himself."Honey were are you heading to? I was just
"Andrew Baines, Mrs Davidson and one Jensen Hickey also known as Marcus silent blade."Romeo turned and noticed that Jensen was about to reach for a gun at his side which he covered with his suit.This prompted Romeo to apprehend Jensen. He rushed towards his side, gave him a powerful kick to his calf and an uppercut which made him to fall on his back. As for his weapon, it fell some paces away from him."Here he is, Inspector Thompson." Romeo pointed at Jensen.Jensen was shocked. It took him time to get it registered in his mind that he had been screwed. Lt. General Thompson who was now disguised as an inspector towered above Jensen. "Well Jensen Hickey, you are under arrest. Handcuff him." Lt. General Thompson ordered.Immediately, two men came around Jensen and bound him with his hands behind his back.However before Jensen could think of exposing Romeo's delicate secret, he was knocked out cold by an officer who did so using the barrel of a gun.After Jensen was bundled and thr
The next day while in prison, Mrs Davidson wondered on how possible it was for someone of her status and influence to be thought of as a suspect in the death of Charlie Stauman.With the way the deed was orchestrated, everything was planned on a low-key.She believed that no traceable evidence was left by her assassin, I mean he was a professional, why would he be so careless?She hoped that her involvement in Charlie Stauman's murder was not confirmed, if not, that would cause a big disaster to her brand, and may even result to her death.Meanwhile in the investigation room, Andrew was bound to an iron chair.Suddenly a man on mask walked in. This mask looked scary as it depicted horror and mischief.This was Romeo and even though he was aware that Andrew had no hand in Charlie Stauman's murder, he wanted to avenge the humiliation he suffered in Andrew's hands there at Mr Davidson's banquet."What is this?" Andrew shuddered out of fear upon beholding the mask. "I don't know what you
"Money…just money. Mrs Davidson offered my five million dollars to take out her biggest rival in the real estate business and I found it difficult to turn down."Romeo looked searchingly at Jensen's eyes. "I find it difficult to believe that an owner of a law firm, a gemstone dealer and a professional assassin would take out an influential figure like Charlie Stauman even though you were well aware of the risks."Romeo then turned to his men. "Take out his forefinger." He ordered.Jensen was wide eyed and struggled to free himself as he was pounced upon by the hefty armed men. His right forefinger which was without injury from the accident was forced unto the surface of the table and a sharp stainless dagger was drawn out ready to severe Jensen's finger."Apart from money she promised me cover!" Jensen yelled. "Cover for what?" Romeo asked."She promised me cover and protection from my gemstone business. You see I deal on the illegal sale of a sacred gemstone…""The Aetherium crysta
In the bright morning light, a blonde man of thirty-four, guided his car towards the imposing government trade center. He looked bright as his face was illuminated by the sun.The metallic gates, adorned with the national emblem, stood as a symbol of the Yilaburg authority under the clear sky.After he had carefully parked his vehicle near the entrance, he sipped from his coffee cup, the steam rising as he took in the view with a determined expression. The bustling trade center, which was hive of economic activity, now buzzed with the daytime business activities.Amid the commotion, this man casually checked his watch before making a call on his phone. His fingers adeptly navigated to a contact labeled "Shadow." After dialing the number, he waited for the connection.The person on the receiving end picked up the call."Hello.""Hello sir, I am here at the Yilaburg trade centre.""Okay good, proceed with the task." A bold and composed voice was heard in the background."Aye sir." T
After a moment of internal struggle, the blonde man reluctantly began to unzip his heavy sweater. The metallic sound echoed in the tense atmosphere and as the zipper descended, it revealed the layers beneath.The blonde man didn't look at all comfortable in all this. "What are you hiding? Show us." The leader of the security personnel was insistent.As the sweater opened, a series of concealed bombs strapped to the man's torso came into view and at once the security personnel's eyes widened in horror as he quickly realized the imminent danger."You bloody bastard!" The second security personnel hissed in disgust."He is a suicide bomber!" The third security personnel yelled."Sound the alarm! We have a potential threat! Make sure everyone evacuates the trade center!" The leader of the security personnel communicated through his radiophone as he immediately sensed the urgency of the apparent situation.Chaos erupted as the alarm blared, and panic set in. People scrambled in every dir
