John's Domination Chapter 12
“What's that?” Alice asked. She moved her focus from the seat to rest on John. John smiled and gestured for her to come over. "Come and look at this," he said, pulling the high-backed chair back. Alice had a curious expression on her face but approached him regardless. John motioned for her to sit, and she took the seat. "What's this about?" Alice inquired. "I know you would have done a great job leading the company. Richard would be proud, but you gave that away. I can see the look in your eyes; you wanted this position," John said. Alice held her silence for a moment. She turned the chair until it faced John. "I may have been able to hold down the fort, but the best decision I've made is to give it up to the rightful owner. I have no doubt you'll do far better than I ever could, and I'll be here by your side if you'll let me," Alice said, locking gazes with John. John moved and sat on the table as a slight smile broke out on his face. "Okay, in that case, I'll be counting on

Richard ignored John's statement and stared into space. His eyes seemed void of any present focus. John felt five long minutes run by this way, he could only flex his fist and grit his teeth to Richard's action because his mom was priority. Gradually, Richard shifted his focus and locked eyes with John. "The Dark Arts was a very ferocious gang back in my early days as a drug lord. The person who led that group was your mother. She was both fearless and ruthless in the pursuit of her goals." The shock widened John's eyes as he swallowed hard. He had imagined many possible situations, but this revelation was beyond what he had expected. Gangsters? His stomach twisted uncomfortably. Richard raised his hand to silence any potential questions and continued, "Back in those days, it was always difficult for the police to keep up with our activities. Some of them were even involved in our operations. But you see, your mother created a vigilante group to fight drugs, human trafficking, and

John had ridden the elevator down in total silence, not that there was anyone with him, he just didn't feel like there was anything outside the mental comfort of his mind. When he came out of the elevator, he moved inattentively through the hospital's bustling environment. Nurses walked by, and some doctors rushed to an unknown emergency. He reached the receptionist, who greeted him with a wide smile. John nodded absently to her and stepped out of the building into the coolness of the night. The air felt refreshing, and he allowed it to soothe the turmoil of his thoughts. He took in a deep breath and exhaled, his mind filled with the last conversation he had with Richard. "John Draken, our son, I hand over everything to you. All that I have is yours, and everything is in your care. You may not be strong enough, but we'll start somewhere. Take care of them, John," Richard had said. At the same time, he'd given John a bear hug. In that moment, John had felt his father's longing and pai

The room Elijah brought them into was luxuriously decorated with golden sofas. On the walls hung a series of paintings framed in gold. Across from the entrance, there was a small shelf displaying thirteen military awards. John took note of the count. Elijah led them to the sofas, his bodyguards stationed at the door, which they closed once the three of them were seated. John scanned the room, searching for any clues or hints about why Elijah had suddenly taken an interest in him. It was unusual for a person of Elijah's status to show such curiosity, but nothing in the room provided any clear leads. Elijah broke the silence, his gaze unwavering on John, who widened his eyes at the mention of his mother, Lisa. Alice sat up straight, ready to react if needed, and John kept his gaze fixed on Elijah, trying to maintain a calm and expressionless demeanor. Reacting aggressively now might worsen the situation. "How did you know that?" John questioned. His father had never mentioned Elijah,

In the hotel room booked by Elijah. John stretched and yawned. There was a persistent beeping sound coming from the door to his hotel room. He found himself under a double blanket in a king-sized bed, the room shrouded in darkness, and two large A.C. units were running at maximum power. On the bedside counter, there was a single lit lamp, an open notepad with visible scribbles, a pen with its cap beside it, and at the far end, a landline telephone. The room was chilled, but underneath the blankets, John felt the warmth trapped by the bedding. He grunted when the beeping started again, determined not to get out of bed. After what felt like ten minutes, the beeping stopped, and John breathed a sigh of relief. He had begun to drift, his eyes heavy with sleep, and he welcomed the comfort that washed over him as he recognized the feeling. Then, the telephone by the bedside started to vibrate and ring. The sound made John sit up on the bed, the chill rushing over him, making his teeth ch

John looked around the almost empty room; it had been his father's office, the CEO's office. He sat in the main chair with his right leg raised on his left leg, observing Gladiator settling comfortably in an opposing seat, facing the room's entrance with his gun resting on his lap. John smiled, noting Alice's entrance, yet remained immersed in deep thought, finalizing his plans. The family was a significant name in both the underworld and the public eye. It was a dual existence, teetering on the edge with expenses in the millions, and he needed to control the volatility or risk being overwhelmed. He harbored no doubt that the Dark Arts were behind the attempted assassination. "Let's leave this place for now," Alice said. "You've made your statement to them, but I doubt they'll make any progress in their investigations." Gladiator stood up, glancing at John, awaiting a response. John nodded, and both of them followed Alice. They bypassed the main entrance, taking a concealed elevator

Alice's gaze chilled as she glanced at the men holding Jones at gunpoint. She observed the cars and the men surrounding them with a cool intensity. There was something in her eyes that cut Viper's laughter short.Viper felt there was more to the lady standing in front of him. He watched her assess them like a pack of lost wolf puppies. In his line of work, ladies didn't give that stare; he preferred his ladies screaming. He took a moment to glance at the guy behind her, John. He looked familiar, but that was it—a familiar John Doe. He ran his free hand through his balding head and turned the gun towards Alice. He left his boys to hold down Jones, trusting they'd shoot if he tried anything funny. He was aware of Vanessa now sobbing on the floor, but he wanted this one, the one with cold eyes, wanted her at his feet so bad he felt his throat dry."I think the pretty lady and her boyfriend don't understand the situation they're in," Viper half-laughed to himself, yet he received the same

The cars pulled out of the driveway in an orderly fashion. Shadow, who sat within the comfort of the shadow cast by the windows of his own car, looked pale. Sweat drops gathered on his eyebrow as he peered ahead at the Maserati leading the parade. His car blended with the rest of the gang's, riding behind him. He wondered if this was how they felt when being led around by him. He took three deep breaths to calm himself; with Alice's reputation for killing at first offense, he wouldn't put it past her to have them guarded. To pass the time, he turned to a men's magazine featuring sexy ladies in lingerie.John vibed to the music, nodding to the cool wind on his bald head. He instructed Alice to take a series of turns that led them deeper into the slum. They reached an old gray building with three supporting pillars, but only two were in good condition. The house seemed to sway to onlookers. In
