''Why is he calling me, now, of all time?'' Omar frowned, seeing Antonio's number pop up on his screen.He waited for a brief second, hearing the phone ring, before he eventually picked up.Ahem!Clearing his throat, he forced a crooked smile, revising what he could and couldn't say.''Hey, young friend, it's been centuries he-he.'' Omar let out boisterous laughter immediately after he picked up the call.However, he didn't hear the expected voice of Antonio, not even a whisper.''Hello?'' Omar mumbled, his eyes raised.''O-old fellow.'' A weak voice, almost out of breath came out of Omar's phone, which made his face contort.''Antonio?'' He asked. ''What's wrong?''''I-I'll text you the de-'' The call ended halfway through Antonio's words, which made Omar feel a sense of discomfort and foreboding.He didn't call back, though, from the brief exchange they had just now, he could tell that Antonio was most probably in a deep mess. It would be better if he texted him as he said.'Hopefu
''Are you sure about this?'' Antonio asked once again.''Yes my Lord.'' The feminine voice sounded with resolve.''Fine, any last wish?'' ''None my Lord.'' The lady replied with an unwavering tone.''Think about it very well.'' Antonio pushed in a monotonous tone.Upon hearing this, the lady fell into silence for a few seconds, the silence encouraging the entire atmosphere, suspending Antonio and his men in the eerie atmosphere.''I… I wish that the women in this country wouldn't have to suffer my fate.'' The lady replied in a shaky tone, but she quickly snapped out of her reverie, her bearing returning to that of the usual desolateness.''Good.'' Antonio sighed, releasing a heavy breath as he felt an imaginary load come off his shoulder.The lady before him was none other than Maria, Omar's servant who worked for him for decades only to be rewarded with anguish and despair.All the things she treasured in this world had been snatched away from her by Omar and his entourage. She was
''Elvie, is everything set over there?'' Antonio asked, passing through the main entrance of the hideout.''Yes, I've gained full access to his security network, but I can hijack it entirely, if not I'll alert his IT guys.'' Elvie's voice sounded from the phone.''Good.'' Antonio nodded, stepping foot into the open space.Starless night descended on the large space surrounding the hideout, and within the endless fold of darkness, eleven armoured vans stood erect, ready to charge into the frontline and wreak havoc.Kateb and his men stood outside, each saluting Antonio as he entered their midst.Double-checking everything once more, Antonio hopped into the van in the middle, and the others also roared to life.The vans sped into the distance, each taking a different route as they blended with the shadows of the desolate city.As for Maria, she had left through another van, after making her look like a walking corpse that would soon fall apart.With the contact lens and other biological
Several hours before Maria's arrival. Omar had received a text from Antonio, informing him that he needed to share important information with him urgently.In the text, Antonio said that the information was related to his last mission which got him badly injured as most of his men suffered fatal injuries, while some were even wasted.This had caught the attention of Omar instantly, his heart racing as he wondered what sort of mission would cause a behemoth like the Lorenzo to suffer such great loss.Not only that, but he was also implicated in the matter…Back to the present, all Omar wanted now was for Antonio to get him the information as fast as he could.The same way he wanted power was how he cherished his life.'This brat, what did he get himself into…' Omar frowned, pacing across the room, as he glued his eyes on the large projection that came from the control room.On the large screen, it showed the image of Antonio entering his mansion from the outer perimeters.As the suppose
''What's this?'' the IT expert furrowed his eyes…''What is what?'' the man next to him asked, removing his headset.''There's a problem with the code.'' The young fellow answered, pointing at a particular set of codes on the screen.''This feels like…': The man knitted his eyes.''A bug!'' Another person completed, throwing the control room into an eerie silence.''Damn, ring the alarm immediately'' The man next to the gentleman who discovered the bug yelled, jolting the others out of their reverie.Dong!Dong!Dong!The obstinate young man pressed a red button, as it activated an alarm that rang across the mansion.Bang!Omar hit the table as the news got to him that his security system had been breached.He knew it was no other person but Antonio who would do this, and the mere thought of it made him feel stupid and disgusted.''Dammit!'' He threw the cup of tea in his hands, slamming it against the floor as it shattered into pieces.'I was fooled.''I was fooled.'He repeated twice
Unfortunately I'm not getting better and I could only release another unedited stockpile. I'm really sorry please.Boom!A mini explosion rang outz throwing a dozens of Omar's men into the ajr their bodies torn apart.''Advance.'' Antonio's voice echoee in the air as he and his men dashed forward.They were currently about two miles away from Omar's mansion, as that waas the closest distance to avoid Omar's scrutiny.Hende they had to dash forward in their Armoured vans before Omar escaped or turned the situation in his favour. After all he had the home ground advantage.Inside Omar's mansion, Just as five guards entered Maria's vision, making her chest tightened.Several gunshots in ang from the pther directions, and she could only watch with raises brows as the five guards collapsed on the floor, their lifeless bodies magled and soaked in blood.From behind and the nezt corner in her right, six men in long Kurta came out, pointing thwir guns at each otherz before nodding in acknowle
Hey readers, I'm getting better now, but I have to write more than 30 chapters before the month ends to meet up to deadlines. I'll upload the unedited versions, and then I'll take my time to edit them, latest next weekend! I'm really sorry.''You can explain what?'' Maria's voice echoed in the air.''Thar you killed my husband, my child, and even sold me to a woman trafficker?'' she questioned, her voice filked wuth torrent lf emotions.''See Maria stop that bokb, I really can explain, it's not what it looks like, just give me the chance to explain.:' Omar crazed voice rang in the air, as his guards also wore wary looks, ready to gun down Maria.Yet, they all knew that it was pf mo use, sinfe they couldn't stop the bomb regardless.The best they could do was to convince Maria and see if she had a way to stop it by entering the termination passcode.Hence, everything depended on how well Onar could persuade her.''I swear to the living God that I served, it's not what it looks like Mar
Boom!!!An explosion reverbated across the entire mansion, leveling everything in its wake.All things present in the mansion and the ezternal permittees came to a stop, frozen in.the chaotid moment.Half of the Mansion collapsed, becoming debris, as the inner quarters was rendered into dust.Maria was no more, as she sacrificed herself to obliterate her enemies, or so it seemed...Until her last moment, she gave zero concern about this cruel world, letting her thought wonder in an endless maze.Both Omar's men and Antonio's ken, alongside the team from king khaled halted the crossfires as they all looked in the same direction.The great mansion that held one of the most powerful men in Middle East was now a shadow of its past.''What do you think you're doing, continue fire.'' Kateb yelled, jolting the others from their reverie, as each gunman cocked his weapon, aiming at the enemy once more.''Protect his excellency.''One of Omar's men screamed, but the chain of command had already
