"Wow!"Irene was jealous of Ynes for being gifted with a customized, beautiful, and expensive necklace. She wished it had been given to her.Ynes didn't also care about how nice or expensive the necklace was; there was nothing like being impressed showing in her eyes."Thank you for your gift, but please keep it." I don't need it. She said"Huh?" Felix's expression turned ugly."Ynes, I specially had this one made for you, so please take it." He said"No Felix." She said, "I already have a lot, and that's okay, so please take it back."Felix started to get angry; he had spent a lot of money to get her a necklace, but she was rejecting it.Seeing Felix's angry expression, Grandma Larkin cleared her throat."Ynes, this is just a gift from Felix, so take it." She said"But Grandma, how…""Just take it." She was cut off. Ynes had no option but to take the necklace.She reluctantly took the necklace from Felix's outstretched hand and examined it closely. Despite her initial reluctance t
"Zelda is the best, and I'll love her always." He replied Ynes nodded, feeling a little bit jealous. "Oliver, thank you for accepting to come here with me. You've seen a lot of drama in my family, but please forgive me." She said"Hey, I'm not worried about anything at all. Just skip this topic and let's talk about our cooking." He saidYnes composed herself and said, "My mom, dad, and grandfather died in a car accident. Cooking with my mom was one of my fondest memories, but it's too painful to think about it right now."Oliver placed his hand on her shoulder and said, "I'm sorry for your loss. You don't have to do this if it's too much for you.""No, it's ok. She said wiping the splits; I'll cook for you." A smile appeared on her face.Oliver smiled and said, "That's nice. What are you planning to cook?"Ynes thought for a moment and then said, "How about grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup? It's simple and comforting, perfect for just the two of us."Oliver smiled and nodde
"You're not yourself, Ynes; the aura I poured into you is causing all this. I don't want to take advantage of you.Ynes stares at Oliver confusedly; she doesn't understand a single thing.Oliver then helped her to lay down on the bed and covered her with a blanket. He then sat beside her and held her hand, using his aura to calm her down.After a while, she fell asleep, feeling more relaxed than she had ever been. Oliver took a blanket and laid it on the floor, sleeping on it.The next day, Ynes blinked several times and tried to sit up in bed, feeling a little disoriented. She looked around the room and was shocked when she realized she was in Oliver's bedroom. She felt a flush of embarrassment and tried to recall what happened the night before, but her mind was blank.Just then, Oliver emerged from the bathroom wearing only a towel around his waist, showing his broad chest."Oh my God, Oliver is here, meaning we slept in the same room." She muttered Ynes' cheeks turned red as she q
Oliver arrived at the upscale mall known as "Belford Plaza." After parking in the lot, Oliver walked into the mall and was immediately struck by the grandeur of the place. The marble floors, the high ceilings, and the sparkling chandeliers all contributed to the luxurious atmosphere. As he walked around, he noticed several high-end stores, each with their own unique branding and style. One saleswoman approached him as he was admiring some of the merchandise in one of the stores. She was tall and strikingly beautiful, with long, flowing black hair and bright green eyes. "May I help you find anything, sir?" she asked in a melodic voice. Oliver turned to face her and smiled politely. "Actually, I'm just looking for some gifts for my wife and mother-in-law." The sales lady nodded. "Of course, we have a wonderful selection of items here. What are you looking for specifically?"<
Ynes could feel the anger in Oliver's voice and knew that he was serious. "Okay, give me a moment. I know the boss of that mall, and I'll get him to see you." After the call ended, he turned to the saleswoman and said, "Don't worry, since you're not capable yourself, then I'll let the boss himself walk in here." The saleswoman didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Even her store boss didn't have the power to summon the main boss, but here Oliver was saying the boss was going to meet him soon. Those who were also enjoying the scene all turned back to go and continue checking out the items they wanted to buy because what Oliver was saying was just like a joke in their eyes. After some minutes, a man dressed in a dark suit and crisp white shirt walked into the mall. He was Richard Park, the owner of Benford Plaza. Mr. Richard Park was a middle-aged man in his early fi
"Hey Ynes, is everything okay?" he asked.Ynes replied, "Yes, I just wanted to check if the matter has been solved."Oliver smiled and said, "Yes, it has. Thanks to you, I was able to speak to the boss of the mall, and he even gave me a card to buy anything for free in the mall."Ynes chuckled. "I told you I'd take care of it. So, what about Lee and Marcus? I got both of them tied up just an hour ago. Lee was discharged an hour ago, and Marcus has also not recovered properly, so it was an advantage to get both of them.Oliver asked Ynes to get some people to follow Lee, whom he had beaten in the ring, and also Marcus, who was a fighter beaten by Lee, as he wanted to have a conversation with them."So where are they now? Let me go and meet them right now. Oliver asked"I made my men send both of them to one of our hotels." "Send me the location and inform your men that I'm coming." Oliver saidAfter hanging up the call, he drove to the location of the hotel where Ynes had sent him.A
"Ah!" Marcus yelped as he felt immense pain all over his body.Oliver grabbed him by his collar and pulled him up to his feet with a sudden jerk. The veins in his neck bulged out as he stared down at Marcus with a fierce expression. Marcus whimpered as Oliver's grip tightened, and he struggled to breathe."You really want to know who I am?" Oliver hissed through gritted teeth. "I'm the one who's going to end your little demonic games, and if you don't start talking, I swear I'll kill you right now."Marcus trembled under Oliver's grip, his eyes darting around the room in fear. He tried to speak, but his throat was too dry, and he could only manage a weak nod.Oliver released his grip on his collar, making him stumble backward, gasping for air. Oliver stepped forward, his fists clenched at his sides, ready to strike again if necessary."Now tell me," Oliver demanded. "How did you get your hands on that demonic chi, and who else is using it?"Marcus stutters for a moment, fear etched on
After the call hung up, Oliver walked back and sat on the bed. He clicked on one of the pictures; it was a picture of the recent death of the lady who was raped and murdered. He stretched his hand out, showing the screen to Lee."Do you know this young lady?" He askedLee raised his head to look at the phone, and he stared at the picture for like a minute without a reply."Slap!"Oliver raised his hand and slapped him harshly across the face."I have no time to waste; do you know this lady?" He asked again in a cold voice.Lee covered his burning face and shook his head."I don't. I don't." He replied shortly.Oliver chuckled lightly and said,"How will you even know her when you've killed a lot of people to boost your chi?" Lee didn't understand what Oliver was saying, but he still didn't talk, rather he kept quiet.Oliver stood up again and dialed another number; this time it was Ynes that he called."Hello Oliver, is there anything?" She asked immediately after the call was connec
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,
