James smiled at the audacity of the man sitting before him and raised his hand making his guards relax with their eyes fixed on Declan.“You are not quite what I had imagined.” James said, watching Declan pour out a glass of wine for himself.“What were you expecting? A good looking man with four or six men in tow everywhere he goes?” Declan asked, sipping his wine. “Well, I am sorry to disappoint you.”“You really are one of a kind. The fact that you are not trembling despite knowing who I am is quite impressive.” Declan snorted at the statement without looking at James.“So you called me to ask some questions. I am here because I wanted to hear them. These little remarks of yours are irrelevant and are actually time wasting.” Declan said, pouring himself a second glass. “Are you sure that you are not going to take a glass of wine with me?” He asked point in at James’s untouched drink. “I think I am okay. So what do you have to say, especially when you know why I called you her
Declan drove straight to Mandy’s office. He climbed out of his car and ran straight into her personal elevator attracting glances and snide remarks. The elevator opened to the front of her office. He walked straight to it and walked in without hesitation to see Mandy sitting at her desk with May.“Seriously, both of you are turning into best buds, a horrible mixture that I wouldn’t even want to imagine.” Declan said, walking straight to the fridge in the corner.“She is here for a project that the two of us want to launch soon.” Mandy said before scrutinizing Declan from head to toe. “Where are you coming from? You look good.“I went for lunch with James Livingston.” Declan replied.“What?’ May and Mandy exclaimed in unison. “Are you crazy? Why the hell would you meet a man who is hunting down the murderer of his brother especially when you are guilty of that crime?” Mandy paled. Declan took out a bottle of wine before turning to the both of them.“Am I drinking this alone or should
“I have found the person responsible for Jason’s death… Declan Kings.”The elderly man looked up from his tablet at James, then narrowed his gaze. He pulled out his pipe and smacked his lips slightly as he placed it on the table.“Why are you sharing this knowledge with me? I don’t care about that.” The man replied.“I don’t care whether you care about Jason or not, but in case you don’t know, he is still your son… and still a Livingston. Letting the killer of one of our own go Scot free doesn’t really give our name a good ring anymore.” James said and the man’s hands flew to his beard in thought.“You said his name is Declan Kings? What do you know about him?” the old man asked and a smile crept James’s face ~Declan moved back from the bodies that were on the floor in front of him. He turned towards half a dozen men that still hadn't made a move.“If you want to attack, I will welcome it. But I suggest that you get rid of your men’s bodies especially when they are in the middle of
Declan walked into the hotel and was led towards the restaurant which was void of people. In the middle of the restaurant, Chris was seated with James surrounded by six men standing with their hands gripping pistols by their side. “Wow, I find it surprising that you would clear out this restaurant just to meet me. I supposed that is what makes you different from your son.” Declan said, walking up to them.“Declan, you really are a work of art. Boldly walking up to me even when you know that you may die here today.” Chris said. “No, I didn't come to die. I actually came to eat dinner with one of the influential men in this city, but since there is no one here, I suppose that is off my bucket list.” Declan said, sitting down and reaching for a bottle of wine. “You really are disrespectful. Reaching for a bottle of wine before the host. Despicable.” James said disgustedly. “He doesn't mind, I don't see why you should.” Declan said, pouring out two glasses before handing one to Chris
“Stand down!” Chris yelled and the men moved back. James turned to his father with shock.“Father, what are you doing? We have him here. Shouldn't we kill him?” James yelled. “Shut up child. You don't understand what is at work here.” Chris said before walking up to Declan and taking a seat before him. “You were the one who killed the knight of Spade. Were you not?”“I believe that was what I said a couple of minutes ago. Jason took credit for that when he was asked by my wife "but what do I care?” Declan said, twirling a second knife in his hand. “He deserved death for what he did and the fact that he was killed without torture was good enough for him.”“Stop desecrating my brother's name. Jason may have tried to leech off your wife but he wouldn't scam them. There was no way that he would have stooped so low.” James yelled. “Nathan kidnapped my wife under the order of Tom, the second hand man of Jordan Smith and he was killed together with his father. I tortured him to my satis
“Let me go.” James yelled with gritted teeth. “You really should know your place. You are in no position to come against me especially after your father has called quits.” Declan said, shoving James to the floor. The front door opened and Mandy walked out to see James laying on the floor a few feet away from Declan trying to get to his feet. “Is this really necessary?” She asked, glancing from James to Declan. “Not really. Besides, it's not like I will be killing him. His father has already secured his life for him.” Declan said, releasing his grip on James. He turned to walk back into the building when James looked up and saw Mandy walking beside Declan. “Mandy Ashers, you are in cohorts with him aren't you?” Mandy turned to look at him with a look of scorn. “I already washed my hands off his actions. Doesn't mean I renounced my relationship with Declan Kings.” Mandy said, walking inside leaving Declan and James.“Go home. I spared you because of your late brother and you fathe
“Hello General Stiles. I have news for you.”“Who is this?” A deep voice came from the phone. “It's me… Jordan Smith. I have very important news for you.” Jordan replied. “Ahh Jordan… How are you? I haven't heard from you in a long time.”“I am fine…but Tom isn't. Things here are not what you would expect.”“What happened to Tom? Is he in trouble?” The voice became low in concern.“Tom is dead. He was murdered in cold blood a couple of days ago and I haven't been able to take revenge on those responsible.” Jordan said. *Silence*“What did you just say now?” The voice came sharper this time that Jordan flinched involuntarily. “I said that Tom was murdered. The murderer involved in his death has been avoiding my every attack and has the backing of the Ashers company. I haven't been able to take any action.”“That's bullshit! Give me a name!”“Declan Kings. He is a nobody so I doubt if you would know him but he was married to the family of the Williams before getting in contact with
Mandy shouted, running after Declan.They walked into the building together and Mandy’s eyes narrowed . The auction hall wasn't less of the Smiths but she didn't see why he would spend money on a place like this just for an auction. “Something isn't right, you feel it?” Declan said, looking at Mandy's countenance. “Jordan must have picked here for a reason.”“This just goes to prove that this is a trap… and we both know that you are the only person that Jordan is willing to set a trap for at this moment. It's not too late to turn around” Mandy stated as they walked towards a booth that was reserved for them. Declan smiled seeing two seats with a table filled with drinks in between them.“I don't remember telling Jordan that I was a heavy drinker, but I am really appreciative.” Declan said, taking his seat immediately and pouring out a glass of champagne.“You really should be more cautious for a man who knows that people are after his life.” Mandy said, taking a seat beside him and
