Jace was now done with his contribution, and he was the highest contributor; Oliver was the only person left.All eyes were now on Oliver; they were waiting for him to send his contribution."Oliver, you're the only one left." The other guy saidThe truth is, they all now understood what Jace was trying to do, which was mock Oliver, so they were going to give him their support.Logan's heart was racing as her beautiful face stared at him. Even though Oliver bought a villa for $15 million, she did not know why she felt nervous, as if Oliver would lose to Jace.Maybe it's because she thought Jace's family was richer and she knew nothing about Oliver's background."Buddy, your friend would be embarrassed if he lost to Jace; don't you have any solutions to save him from this?" Nora asked Logan in a low tone.Logan bit her lip but said nothing. Her nervous face made her beauty bloom more.Oliver fished out his phone from his pocket; he didn't put the 150,000 Jace had sent in his eyes; afte
Nora's eyes widened in shock while staring at her phone screen.On her phone, it said that Oliver had transferred an amount of 100,000 bucks to her. She couldn't believe her eyes as she kept refreshing her notifications, but that was the reality.Logan, who was also beside Nora, saw that Oliver had transferred $150,000 to her account, but instead of being shocked like Nora, she was happy that Oliver wouldn't lose to Jace.Seeing the shock plastered on Nora's face, Jace thought she was shocked because Oliver had transferred something less than 10,000. Thinking of this, he said,"Nora, why don't you show us your phone screen?"Hearing this, Nora raised her phone, showing the screen to everybody. "Mr. Storm just transferred 100,000 to my account." Nora said. "Gasp!" They all took a sharp breath upon hearing Nora speak. The place was so quiet at that moment that, even if a needle was dropped at that moment, its sound would be heard.In their eyes, it was useless for a jobless person l
At the same time, in Boston Hill's City Hospital, a young, beautiful woman with her eyes closed as if she were dead was being rushed into the hospital's emergency ward by the doctors. This young, beautiful lady was none other than Oliver's wife, Zelda Ellison. Earlier, when she spoke to Oliver on the phone, she was pained by his words and decided to end her life since he had developed a deep hatred for her and they were going to divorce."Nurse, would my daughter be fine?" Abigail, who was following, asked in tears."Woman, please wait outside," a nurse said as they rushed Zelda into the ward and shut the doors.A few minutes later, a female doctor walked out of the emergency room.She was Megan Lane, the goddess doctor of Boston Hill's. Not only was Megan fair, but she was also beautiful and had the perfect body every man would wish for."Doctor Megan, please, how is my daughter?" Abigail asked immediately.Megan was pretty famous in Boston Hills, so it wasn't shocking that Abigail
After some minutes, a brand-new blue Hyundai Kona parked at City Hospital. It was Alex, whom Abigail had called a few minutes ago. After receiving a call from Abigail, Alex dropped all that he was doing and rushed to City Hospital. "Mom, what's wrong?" What are you doing at the hospital at such a late hour, and why do you look so anxious? Alex questioned. Seeing Alex's new car, she was convinced that he was the only person who would be able to save zelda. "Alex, you need to help me." "Zelda is in there struggling for her life; you need to save your future wife." For someone as greedy as Abigail, she wouldn't mind trying to hook Zelda up with anyone, so long as the other party was rich. "I saw Zelda lying motionless in her room after coming back from town and rushed her here." According to the doctor, she has taken in poison, and they need $300,000 for the operation. Abigail's tears couldn't stop flowing as she explained everything to Alex. Despite the fact that Abigail alway
Chapter 17."Mr. Storm is going to be the first person to spin the bottle." Nora said.WooThe smile on Jace's face vanished instantly. He was expecting to be the first person to spin the bottle, but Oliver got that chance. He stared at Oliver coldly.Oliver nodded as he picked up the bottle and sipped it immediately.Woosh.The bottle started spinning as all eyes were focused on it, waiting to see who it fell on.Logan's eyes widened as she stared at the bottle's movement.After a few seconds, the bottle stopped spinning as it pointed at someone.All eyes were now on Logan. The bottle stopped in her direction, meaning she was now supposed to kiss Oliver—or the other way around."Oh my, this guy is really lucky; he even gets to kiss Logan," the others blurted out.
"Jace, what's wrong with you?" Nora asked in a cold tone. Logan, whose eyes were now opened, started to get angry. Of course, she was aware that Jace was only doing this because he was jealous. He had tried all ways to prove his love to her, but she never felt the same way about him. Seeing Jace jealous, she felt like pouring kerosene into his jealous flames. "Jace, thank you for this, but you can't decide for me, and yes, I want Oliver to kiss me." Poof Jace's expression turned cold; he was trying all ways to destroy this, but now Logan herself approved of it. "It's all his fault." "If I don't take you to task later, then you can change my name." He murmured. Seeing Jace's expression, Oliver didn't know whether to laugh or cry; he felt the anger boiling in Jace's body, but he didn't put it in his eyes. "Logan, think about..." Jace didn't finish his sentence when Logan raised her hand to signal him to stop talking. "Of course I'm ready for this," she said as she stood up and
"Oliver, it's all because of you. Your bad luck has affected my daughter. "I promise, if something happens to Zelda, I'll make sure you're jailed for the rest of your life.""Mom, what are you talking about?" "What happened to Zelda?" Oliver asked anxiously.He didn't understand why his mother-in-law would just call him and blame him for something he knew nothing about."You still dare ask me questions?""I swear in this hospital I am now that if something happens to Zelda, I won't spare you." Immediately after this, the call was disconnected."Hello mom," he tried calling out, but the call had already been dropped."Why did mom mention the hospital?""Could it be that something has happened to Zelda?"Thinking of this, Oliver panicked. Although their marriage wasn't a love one, he truly loved and cared much about Zelda.Without wasting time, he rushed back into the hall where Logan and the others were.Seeing Oliver's anxious face, they were all confused."Mr. Storm, is there any pro
Logan bid him good-bye and drove away. Oliver entered the hospital after that. It didn't take long for him to see his mother-in-law."My mother-in-law is here, which means my guess was right; has something happened to Zelda?" Thinking of this, he walked in Abigail's direction.When Abigail saw Oliver, she became furious at that moment."You useless brat, what do you want here?" She asked the question coldly.For someone like Oliver, it wasn't the first time hearing Abigail's harsh words. For the past two years living in the Ellison's manor, he had gone through hell at her hands."Mom, what happened to my wife?" He asked.Hearing Oliver address Zelda as his wife, she stomped on her foot."How dare you call her your wife? Didn't Zelda tell you she didn't want to see you anymore?"Just then, Alex walked in. After arranging the money, he went to pay the bills. Alex was the same person who asked Abigail to call Oliver and blame him for everything because he was bad luck."What do you wan
As Vespera moved towards the car, she turned back to address her team, her expression steely."Before we head out, clean up these bodies," she instructed, her voice firm. "Make sure there’s no trace left behind. I don’t want any sign of this incident here."One of the guards stepped forward, nodding but looking at the black van parked nearby. "And the vehicle, ma’am? What do we do with it?”Vespera smirked, a hint of dark amusement in her eyes. "We’ll handle that too. Have it rebranded, stripped of any identifiers. Once it’s ready, it’ll be delivered to the local orphanage as a donation. They could use a decent vehicle more than these fools ever could."The guard’s mouth curled into a knowing smile as he nodded. "Understood, ma’am. We’ll get it done."The team moved quickly, setting about their tasks with military precision. Two guards began gathering the bodies, making sure every detail was accounted for, while others turned their attention to wiping down the van and removing any wea
Grimacing with agony, the man gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, struggling to endure the searing pain that radiated from his wounded thigh. Each breath was a struggle. With a steely glint in her eyes, Vespera withdrew the gun from the man's lips and aimed it at his knee with chilling precision. Without a moment's hesitation, she pulled the trigger, the deafening boom of the gunshot reverberating through the air as a bullet tore through the man's knee, shattering bone and tissue with brutal force. The man's scream echoed through the night, his body wracked with agony as he collapsed to the ground, his shattered knee rendering him utterly helpless before Vespera's merciless interrogation. "Where's the address?" Vespera demanded once more, her voice cold. Gulping hard, the man's eyes darted nervously as he struggled to compose himself through the haze of pain and fear. Finally, with a shaky breath, he spoke in a voice barely above a whisper. "The address... it's..." he
Dear readers I haven't ended it, there'll be chapters soon, due to certain issues haven't been able to continue, would do.
As they continued to discuss their strategy, a sudden sense of unease washed over one of the men. He stiffened, his eyes darting around the van as if searching for an unseen threat."Hey, did you guys see that?" he whispered urgently, his voice laced with alarm.The other men glanced at him, their expressions puzzled. "See what?" one of them asked, his brow furrowing in confusion."I saw something move," the man insisted, his voice rising with panic. "It was like lightning, but I couldn't see anyone.”His words hung in the air, the silence that followed thick with tension. The other men exchanged wary glances, their nerves on edge as they scanned their surroundings for any sign of danger."Maybe you're just imagining things," one of them suggested, trying to quell the rising sense of fear.But the man shook his head adamantly. "No, I'm telling you, something's not right. We need to be on high alert.”"Come on, nothing will happen," one of the men scoffed, trying to quell the rising te
They waited for many hours, the anticipation building as the darkness of evening enveloped the surroundings. Some of the men had even drifted off to sleep inside the van when suddenly, one of them spotted Garcia's car approaching."Hey, Garcia is already coming in, let's get ready," he exclaimed, shaking his comrades awake.With renewed alertness, the men peered out of the van, their eyes fixated on Garcia's car as it pulled up to the entrance. Inside the car, Vespera remained composed, her keen assassin instincts guiding her observations.Seeing a parked car nearby, Vespera assessed the situation with a practiced eye. There were no signs of prolonged parking, indicating that the vehicle was likely there for a specific purpose. With a subtle smile, she continued driving into the estate.As Garcia and Logan disembarked from the car, Vespera stayed behind, maintaining her vigilance. Garcia glanced back at her with a frown, questioning her hesitation."Why are you standing there, Vespera
Oliver's expression was stern as he listened to Arshad's fear-filled plea. He knew that Arshad had brought this predicament upon himself by attempting to carry out the contract on his life. When Arshad spoke of his fear for his life, Oliver's response was cold and pragmatic."Protecting yourself is up to you and not me," he said, his tone firm and unyielding. "You got yourself into useless problems, and now you must find a way out. Don't expect me to protect you. You have your own men; use them to find a solution.”With those words, Oliver ended the call abruptly, hanging up the phone. As Oliver hung up the phone, Zelda looked at him with concern in her eyes. "Hubby, is everything alright? Anything wrong?" she asked, sensing that the call might have been troubling.Oliver smiled warmly at her, his features softening. He leaned in and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips, a gesture meant to reassure her. "Don't worry, everything is fine," he said, his tone calm and soothing. "Just a mi
Mentioning Oliver brought a flood of memories rushing back to Logan's mind—nights spent together, whispered conversations, and shared moments of intimacy. A bittersweet smile tugged at her lips as she pondered the complexities of their relationship."How I wished I could have carried the children of such a great man," Logan sighed softly, her thoughts drifting to what could have been. "But it didn't work out that way.”After she was done dressing, Logan descended the stairs and entered the living room, where Garcia Storm awaited her, seated elegantly on the sofa.Upon seeing Logan, Garcia rose with a warm smile, her eyes brightening at the sight of her companion. "How are you, my dear?" she inquired, her concern evident in her gentle tone.Logan nodded respectfully. "I'm fine, ma'am," she replied. "Have you taken your medications?”Garcia nodded affirmatively. "Of course, I have," she chuckled softly. "You would not let me rest if I didn't, so I always do."Taking Garcia's hands in he
He paused, locking eyes with Lauren as he continued, his words cutting through the tension like a knife. "Listen, Detective. No man born of a woman, no minor deity existing on this earth, has the power to stand in front of Oliver Storm for even a minute. The bullet that can kill me hasn't been manufactured, and the weapon that can harm me hasn't been forged.”Oliver's gaze pierced through Lauren, his voice resonating with a chilling authority as he continued his proclamation of dominance."I am the harbinger of destruction, the architect of fate," he declared, his words carrying the weight of absolute certainty. "I am the tempest unleashed, the unyielding force that bends the very fabric of reality to my will.”A sense of awe washed over those present, their breath caught in their throats as they bore witness to Oliver's unbridled power. In his presence, they felt small and insignificant, mere mortals standing before a titan among men.Oliver's eyes bore into Lauren's, a glint of unde
As Lauren reached out to touch Oliver, her hand trembling slightly with anticipation, she could feel a surge of adrenaline coursing through her veins. The tension in the air was palpable as she made contact with him.Suddenly, a jolt shot through her body like an electric shock, causing her to gasp in pain. Ahhh!” Her muscles tensed, and she let out a loud scream as the force threw her backward with incredible strength.The sensation was overwhelming, as if a powerful energy had enveloped her, lifting her off her feet throwing her through the air. The impact was brutal as she collided with one of the tables at the back, shattering it into pieces upon impact.Pain radiated through her body as she lay amidst the wreckage, dazed and disoriented."Wow!" Sophia clapped, breaking the stunned silence that had settled over the place. Lauren was the one who touched Oliver, yet she was the affected one. Everyone, including Geronimo, was stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief. Oliver, however,
