At the Ashers' residence, Two men sat at the living room bearing gifts. They were dressed in a neat blue suits with their shades on.

Mandy constantly glanced at the entrance, looking out for Declan. She had called him as soon as the men showed up. She didn't want to let them in at first, but they mentioned they were sent by Jordan Smith. Out of courtesy, Mandy had let them in but she was not letting them go anywhere close to her grandpa. Once bitten, twice shy.

"Our boss would come himself, but he had an emergency."

"Tell him I received his call in with thanks." Mandy gave a tight smile

"Can we go in now? We have gifts for The Director."

"Oh no—my grandfather does not receive visitors. Everyone see me instead."

"We insist ma'am. Our boss wants us to present these gifts to the Director himself. He also wants to know how his very good friend is doing... Through our eyes, of course."

"Tell your boss his friend is recovering and his granddaughter appreciates his kindness." May's tone

    Declan stepped onto the porch of the Smith's villa, about to take the door handle. The shrill sound of his ringtone erupted, bringing him to a halt. He let out a frustrated groan before fishing out his phone from his pocket. "Hello?" He growled and listened to the caller say something. "On my way, now" He dropped the call without waiting for a reply. Glancing one last time at the door that stood between him and his target, he let out a low groan before turning to leave. The next morning, Jordan woke up in the arms of his hoes. They had a pleasure filled night and celebrated to the fullest. He was reluctant to get out of bed. He might as well take some days off now his competition has been struck out. He got off the bed regardless, eager to read the morning papers and what it has to say about the abrupt dismissal of the Titanium queen. "Titanium my foot." He scoffed. After hours of freshening up, Jordan Smith sat at the table head in a golden robe. A banquet has been prepared be

    Where did he go?" Tom asked one of his students when he realized he had lost Declan. They had been watching him from a tall tower, but got distracted when their boss called."I have no idea. He was just right there." Tom's brows etched in worry. "Find him, now! ""Right away master." The student turned away and put a call across to the surveillance operator. Immediately, the operator gave him feedback. "Master, he is currently in the basement. What should I do? He acts suspicious and is before the painting ""The painting!?" How did he get there!""Just say the word master, what should I do with him."Tom breathed in heavily, "I'm not sure what his role is in everything that went wrong but I'm sure the boss will be glad if we get rid of him.""It will be my most pleasure to do the boss's wish.""Very good Jeremy, take Jonna with you. I have taught you two so well, bring him to me, in whole or pieces.""It will be my greatest delight." With a curt nod, Jeremy left to search for his p

The man's hand pressed on his knee for support, panting. "What boys? Get yourself together and speak properly"The man paused to recollect. His heart raced so fast that he couldn't put his words together."I saw him— he killed them. Jeremy and Jonna are gone." "What do you mean gone.”“They're dead, master. That beast of a man killed them.” “That's unbelievable!"“End my life should I joke with something like this. I saw the man take them down with one blow. He is not human at all, he fought them like a beast"Tom fumed. There's no way his two most powerful men were dead. He trained Jeremy and Jonna himself and could vouch for their skill anywhere.

    Nathan furrowed his brows in thought. How best will he abduct May without raising an alarm? He needed a smooth strategy that would go unnoticed. A thought crossed his mind and he called someone on the phone."Hi, we have a go ahead to attack. What do you have in mind?"Nathan asked and waited for a response."This sounds like a perfect plan. Proceed and give me a call when everything is settled. Nathan dropped the call, the side of his mouth curved in a wry smile. "Now everything will be mine at last." He gloated.At a restaurant downtown. May sat across Jason and waited for their orders. Jason stared at May intensely making her conscious of herself "What? Why are you staring at me like that?" Her voice was low and she batted her lashes in shyness. Seeing her reaction, Jason chuckled. "You're simply so beautiful and have achieved so much at such a young age. I can't help but admire you.""C'mon, whatever I have achieved cannot be compared to what you are. I still look up to you

    A pool of water poured on May, jerking her awake. She glanced around her and grew terrified. Where was she? She asked inwardly. She tried to move but was stuck. A rope tied her to a seat in the center of a dark room. The only source of light was the little rays that sneaked in from a window at the top of the wall. "OMG... Where's this place?" May's weak voice cried. Her head ached badly and she couldn't remember how she got into such a situation."Somebody help me!"She screamed and her voice echoed through the walls. "Not now. I'm trying to get some sleep!."The deep voice of a man said from behind the door. "Who are you and Why did you keep me here? Get me out of here this instant!""Else?""You will regret laying a finger on me!""Hahaha...." A deep laugh of another man echoed and May suddenly froze. She recognized that laughter. The only laugh that traumatized her. The bulbs in the room poured out light at the flip of a switch and May squinted from the brightness. When she o

    Declan walked into the room where he had left Mandy with Jordan. Mandy turned to look at him and he gave her a small nod. “And where did this lackey of yours go?” Jordan asked, eyeing Declan carefully.“This mansion is so huge that it is almost impossible to find a bathroom.” Declan replied with a small smile on his face. “Well, Mr. Smith, I believe we have both said everything we have to speak about,” Mandy said, rising from her chair. “And thank you for the breakfast, if I wasn’t sure, I would have said you were having a celebration over something” she added smiling sweetly.“No, I just felt like I needed to put on a few pounds today,” Jordan replied, standing after her. Mandy turned to Declan and back to Jordan.“Alright then, we will be taking our leave” she said and turned walking away with Declan in tow. Jordan watched the disappearing figures and raised his hands to his head while breathing as if he had held his breath for the past thirty minutes. He raised his phone and cal

    Declan drives straight for Jason’s house while occasionally glancing at the text he had received from May. Where was she? And what prompted her to type a text like this?~“Oh, don’t get teary with me, I haven’t even started yet.” Nathan said, wiping the tears off May’s face. She closed her eyes and threw her face away from his touch. Her ears rang as Nathan palm landed on her cheeks. “Don’t you dare move or you are dead.” He snickered, turning her face roughly towards him. May whimpered, her face stinging with pain. “Oh, you are so cute right now. You know you have escaped my clutches before, but I think it would be a waste to let a body as beautiful as this go to waste, don’t you think so?”“I asked you a question?” Nathan yelled with another slap on her second cheek. Tears trailed down her cheek as she whispered for help. Nathan saw her moving lips and a smile crept onto his face as he lowered his ear to her lips.“D— Declan.” She whimpered softly.“Still putting faith in that use

    Declan picked up his buzzing phone and looked at the dialer. A quick sigh and he placed the phone on speaker.“I got your text, what’s wrong?” Mandy’s voice filled the car. “Any luck on your hunt?”“I got a lead and I am going to Will's mansion. I need you to mobilize men to help me find any traces of Nathan.” He replied back.“Aren’t you going to his house?”“No one in his right mind will go home after kidnapping someone, not even Nathan is that stupid.”“Then, why bother yourself? You can just go find him instead of going to an empty mansion.” Mandy said with a sigh.“Someone as stubborn as Nathan would need leverage to hand over May to me, and the mansion wouldn’t be completely empty.”“Declan, you wouldn’t…”“Even if Nathan is proud, I am sure that he would give anything, even May for his father’s life.”“I am not against your plans, but isn’t that too cruel? Even for you?” Mandy's voice dropped.“They crossed that line when he kidnapped my wife. Besides, I am sure you wouldn’t wan

    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
