“James Livingston.”

The secretary said and May’s face instantly turned pale upon hearing James’s name.

“Err, I will get back to you on that.” May said, looking away from her secretary as she walked out. She picked her phone and dialed her mother.

“May, it’s rare for you to call me when you are at work. Is there a problem?”

Clara said when she answered the call.

“Mum, I told you that I would think about going out with James, why did you have to reach out to him without letting me know?”

“What are you talking about Hun? I haven’t gotten in contact with James yet.” Clara replied, confused. “Wait a minute; Did he reach out to you?”

“Unfortunately, Yes. He asked that I meet him in a nearby restaurant for lunch today.” May replied. “What if he wants to talk about his dead brother with me?”

“Then you deviate from the story. Make sure that something gets sparked between the both of you and don’t let him make the conversation downcast” Clara warned. “Have you accepted the lunch request?”

“Not

    “I see.” James said with a small nod. “So, judging from his previous action, do you think that he would have been a potential suspect for the murder of my brother?”May narrowed her gaze at James and he smiled lightly. I'm sorry if my questions are a little bit direct but I just lost a brother. I don't expect you to understand what it feels like. May nodded with a light smile. “It's okay Mr. Livingston. About your question, I’m not sure. People change over time due to certain occurrences, but the Declan that I knew wouldn’t kill… he wasn’t even violent when I was still with him and couldn’t even yell at someone if one was to annoy him.” May said.“Well, thank you so much Mrs. Wiiliams. You must realize it but you have made my job a lot easier.” James said with a smile. “Now, do you know where I can find Declan Kings?”“That I can’t answer. We don’t live together anymore and he doesn’t stay at the house where he lived before the marriage.” James’ hands balled into fists. “But I ca

    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

    Declan walked down the stairs cleaning his eyes as he descended with a clear smile on his face. Two days had passed since he had a blood fest against Mandy and the men that she had brought. He walked into the dining room and grabbed the coffee pot for the machine and poured himself a cup. “Hmm, a cup of coffee first thing in the morning… who are you and what have you done with my Kazuka?” Declan turned to see his mother seated at the table with a plate of toasts and fruits before her. “Good morning mother.” Declan said, walking up to her. He kissed her on the cheek before taking a seat beside her. “Someone woke up on the right side of the bed today.” Elizabeth said with a smile. “What's making my boy all cheery in the morning?” “Nothing… I was just thinking of my plans for the day.” Declan replied, taking a sip from the cup in his hand. “Must be a very interesting day you have planned out for yourself if this is the kind of expression you have first thing in the morning.” “I

    May watched as Mandy glared at Declan with eyes full of hate while he smirked at her while looking at the men that had arrived with her. “Please tell me that you have more people coming.” Declan said with a smile. “Even the people you sent to kidnap May were more than this.” As if in response, a van pulled up behind Declan's car and over a dozen men climbed out of it with clubs and steel pipes in their grasp, with some of them holding daggers and short knives. “Now this is looking promising.” Declan said, licking his lips in anticipation. May climbed out of the car walking towards Declan with her hands slightly raised. “Mandy, you don't need to do this.” She said softly. “You can just tell your men to leave and we can all just forget that something like this ever happened.” “Shut up!” Mandy snapped, turning her glare to May who shuddered under the killing intent that Mandy poured out. “This is all his fault. My grandfather is dead and it's all his fault.” She yelled in pain

    In the evening of that day, Declan had gone to pick up May for their date. “You know you don't need to do this Declan, I also have a car.” May said walking up to a black car parked a few feet away from her with Declan leaning against it. “That would be absurd. Imagine asking someone out on a date and then deciding to let the person drive there.”Declan said, shaking his head, opening the door for her to get in. “That's no different than asking the person to meet up with you for a business lunch.” “It's the thought behind it that matters Declan… God, are all the men of the King family stubborn?” May said with a sigh while Declan chuckled in response driving away. “so, what about Mandy? Any news about her after your meeting today?” “Well, I got reports that she was approached by a lady and was taken to a station for questioning. The company was given a trial in a few days and from there everything will play out.” Declan shrugged. “Not if you cause the company to fold.” May said

    Mandy kept her gaze fixed on the door leading to the room where Declan was having his interview with Celeste. The door opened and Declan walked out with a calm look on his face. Mandy stood and walked towards him. “Declan!” She yelled before grabbing his collar to the surprise of everyone present. “Mandy Asher… quite a surprise for me to see you here… don't you think?” Declan said with a soft smile. “You are happy, aren't you? You have finally ruined my family and gotten your revenge.” She said, gripping his shirt tighter. “Your questions are like asking a poor man who just win the lottery if he is happy winning a huge amount of money.” Declan said gripping her hand. “Of course I am happy.” He wrenches her hands off his clothes and straightened his shirt. “Miss Asher I would love it if you don't come onto me like that again.” Declan added and made to walk away but she blocked him. “Why don't you finish what you started? You have already killed my grandfather; adding me to th

    May's eyes widened in shock. She looked at the man who looked nothing above his early thirties before shaking her head in disbelief. “So you are old? A hundred?” She asked, still in doubt. “Can we not put a number on it? Surprised that I am around your grandpa’s age?” Declan asked with an amused look. “Shocked? Declan, you don't look a day above thirty five.” She replied before reaching for her glass of wine. “Well, I suppose it was one of the reasons families decided to go against us. Certain families after discovering our secret became afraid. I suppose that was the reason the Deckers family decided to launch Project K-11. They wanted to make soldiers that could match our prowess which as you should know ended in failure while claiming the lives of many people. Four families… all jealous of the power we had decided to band against us and send us out of the city that we had built as a home for ourselves. They had even nailed the blame of Project K-11 on our family and after som

    Declan reached for his ringing phone and his cold face softened a little. He raised the phone to his ear and answered the call. “Hello May.” “Hey Declan, em… sorry to disturb you but I just saw the news and decided to call you. I never had the chance to tell you thank you for everything.” Declan smiled at the nervousness in May's voice. “No problem. It was my pleasure.” He replied. Any other thing?” “Are you busy?” She asked. “Right now? No, not at all. Is there any problem?” “Not right now. Will you be free tonight? I was thinking that maybe we should meet up and discuss things over.” May said, her voice beginning to shake slightly. “I can make time. What do you want to talk about?” He asked with a smirk. “Nothing ser-. I will let you know when we meet.” May said. “Alright then… text me the time and I will come pick you up.” Declan said, his face harboring a grin that threatened to tear past his face. “Alright. It's a date then.” Mandy said and ended the call. Declan s

    ‘Reporting the death of the patriarch of the Asher family, Asher Keaton was reported dead having passed away yesterday in the early hours of the afternoon.’ Declan looked at the news on the television before turning to the phone in his hand. He had over a dozen missed calls from Mandy which he suspected was for him to chew him out. He turned to the maid and pointed at the wine shelf before turning back to the news. ‘News reaching the media now is pointing towards the Asher industries about another of their multiple evil deeds against the city. A construction scandal done towards a project of building a city facility which was supposedly done with fake materials.’ ‘Experts are being brought in to investigate the nature of the materials used to build the facility.’ ‘The Asher industries are also said to be on the very brink of bankruptcy with their stocks fallen before the twenty-five percent mark.’ “This is actually a very good cause for one to celebrate.” Declan said, reaching fo

    Mandy looked around the office with a heavy sigh before going back to the work she was handling on her laptop. It has been a week since May had announced her innocence and sued the Asher to court. The trial had gone against them, making them pay over a hundred and fifty million in compensation at the demand of the Williams. After that, bits and bits of the company's confidential data happened to find their way into the social media giving them a black name among the public. The company stocks had fallen by over forty seven percent and it wasn't rising back, leaving the company a few steps away from folding due to bankruptcy. Her attention is drawn away when the door of her office opens letting Asher in. “Another one has been released.” He said with a bitter smile on his face. “This is getting worse than I expected.” Mandy groaned and slumped back against her chair in despair. She blamed everything on Declan… it was all his fault all for a pointless revenge due to an old injury

    Mandy sipped from the glass in her hand, her gaze fixed on the television before her. On the table before her, some files laid open with a pad at the edge of the table. ‘An announcement has been scheduled this afternoon for the public residents of the city. The host of the announcement is non either than May Williams -.’ “Pfft!.” Mandy spilled out a mouthful of wine onto the files in front of her. She gazed at the screen in shock… May was alive meaning that Declan must have either saved her or the men weren't able to get to her in time. Either way, her plan had been flunked. She exhaled and gripped the glass in her hand till it shattered spilling over the floor. She stood up from the couch and walked out. At the other side of the city, May looked around and exhaled softly. She was in the Williams industries and was surrounded by different reporters that she had invited for an announcement. She turned towards a corner of the hall where a figure dressed in black with its face
