Lily had an idea as to what Jayden was playing at, after all, she'd dated him long enough to figure out his temperament.Jayden most likely wished to get her drunk so he could have his way with her which was what he'd always wanted to do when they were dating.Whenever he tried to get in and she refused, he always got mad and after numerous attempts, he ended up cheating on her with the cheerleader Vera.In any case, Lily didn't plan on losing her chastity before marriage so she wasn't about to fall for Jayden's schemes.Jayden gritted his teeth, seeing as his plan had failed before it even began.'Why are you such an upright bitch!' He couldn't help but curse in his mind though he kept his expression cool.Knowing he couldn't go too far for fear of achieving an opposite result of what he intended tonight, he could only figure out a different way to get Lily to warm up to him."Alright then, fine, how about we get something to eat?" Jayden offered.Seeing as there was nothing wrong wi
Those who had watched the commotion were quite shocked by Jayden's actions since no one saw it coming.Few were supportive of it while others could only shake their heads at the sight.Meanwhile, Jayden was gloating to his friends before glancing at Lily who remained silent."Don't worry, Lily." He said with a puffed-up chest. "I won't let those sorts of rascals even get within 10 meters of your vicinity. I'll always protect you so you can count on me."Though he said this to impress her, his words only served to cause Lily more discomfort as she despised violence more than anything.Why would she wish to be with a man that was so aggressive?... Imagine if they had a petty argument, would that mean he would hit her as well?Just the thought alone once again reminded Lily why she must never allow Jayden back into her life.He was an impulsive cheater with anger issues and no way would she be involved with such a man.Jayden seemed to notice her discomfort but try as he may, Lily refuse
Jayden didn't stop running even as he knew that he'd pushed Lily into harm's way.Tonight was supposed to be his glory night yet it all went to shit and now?... Now he was running like a dog.Why did things go so wrong? He didn't dare to stop for a moment as he kept running until he got to his car and immediately drove off."She's the Commissioner's daughter so they won't do anything to her, right?"***Meanwhile, Lily was terrified as she watched the young man approach her with nefarious intent."Boss, are you going to do it here?" One of the thugs asked."Of course, where else would…"Before he could finish his statement, Lily suddenly got up and tried to flee but he grabbed her and tossed her to the ground before shooting her in her thigh again, eliciting a scream from her lips."You bitch, how dare you try to run!... Fine then, I was planning on taking it easy on you but now, I'll…""That's enough." A voice suddenly said, cutting the young man off.The young man and the thugs gla
"You fool, how could you just leave her there?... Didn't I tell you to get on her good side?... The minister expects us to get close to the former Commissioner's daughter so it would be easier to get into the good books of the new one since they are close friends but you had to do something so cowardly." Brian berated in annoyance.Jayden could only apologize as he knew that if his father learned that he had not only caused the problem but also shoved Lily toward the thugs to make his escape, he would surely get a tight slap.Considering his options, Brian quickly made a decision. "Come, we'll head to the Commissioner's house tonight to inform them of the situation. In case of anything, we have to prove that we are willing to go the extra mile with them. Also, call the police, Lily might need to be rescued." "Understood, Father," Jayden remarked, albeit reluctantly.He knew that if Lily ever saw him again, she'd surely spill the beans about everything which would put him in a lot of
Richard didn't tell anyone what happened at the club when he got home as he headed straight to bed and woke up the next morning, feeling quite refreshed.After going about his normal daily routine, he received a call from an unknown number."Hello, who is this?"[Mr. Smith, it's nice to hear your voice] Though Richard recognized the voice to be a man's own he had no idea who it belonged to.[Don't overthink it. You don't know me from anywhere]"Then…"[I am Patrick, a proxy of the enigmatic organization, Golden Circle. We shall be hosting a banquet in a few days and would like to know if you would be interested in attending]"This… Why the sudden invite?... I doubt just anybody is invited."[You are correct, Mr. Smith. Not just anyone is invited to a Golden Gathering, only those that are deemed worthy, and you, my friend are deemed worthy by a few notable members. You have caught their eyes and they would like to meet with you. So if you are willing, I hope you can attend]"Before I
"Dad, how can you allow that fool to keep on doing all this?... He is trying to act like he is some big shot but he is nothing compared to you. You are the Almighty dragon general, bestowed the title by the Emperor of Zion himself. How dare this Richard Smith try to act like your equal?" Doreen inquired in annoyance, dissatisfied with how her father was handling the matter."Yeah, Dad. This isn't right, you have to put him in his place else he'd dare think he was your equal. How much has he made to dare think he can act so wantonly?" Murphy concurred with his sister, the siblings agreeable in their dislike for Richard Smith.General Watson chuckled. "What do you wish for me to do?... Beat him up?""Yes!" Both siblings replied."Is that so?... Alright, what about this?... If you can prove that he is lesser than he carries himself to be, then I would surely do as you've said.""How do we do that?" Doreen inquired in vague excitement.The General shrugged. "You decide. All I'll do is wat
"Hmmph, how dare that Richard Smith be so presumptuous?... Doesn't he know that you are the new Commissioner?... How could he act so wantonly and even go ahead to disgrace your daughter?... General Watson, I suggest we teach this fool a lesson lest he gets ideas in the future." Xavier remarked in a bid to get General Watson to dislike Richard.Unfortunately, his attempt backfired as General Watson snorted. "Who do you think I am?""General, you are a great man indeed and I'm sure you are a wonderful father too, more reason to not allow Richard Smith to go scot-free.""You are right that I am a loving father but that doesn't mean I would interfere in the lives of my children. They should take this as a learning experience to not disdain anyone they meet just because they are from the capital. If anything, it's good this happened."With that said, General Watson no longer paid Xavier any heed with the latter fuming inwardly at his failed attempt to get Richard in trouble.Meanwhile, the
"You taught them quite the lesson." General Watson remarked as he entertained Richard in his private quarters.The party to celebrate his inauguration as the new Commissioner of Police was already done with guests heading back home with the image of Richard Smith dominating in all manner etched in their minds.Meanwhile, Doreen and Murphy had left early perhaps as a result of the lesson they'd learned at Richard's hands.Richard didn't immediately respond, instead watching as a butler poured out wine from him, the General, and the old man that Watson referred to as Sage.Once the butler was done and had excused himself, Richard began. "I was only ensuring that they do not think that because their father is great, they are great as well.""Is that so?... If I did not know something about men like you, I'd think you were using it as a means to undermine my authority." General Watson said with a chuckle.Richard grinned. "Perhaps. In any case, may I ask why you invited me here, General."
