Declan walked up to one of the thugs. The thug was still alive but in great pain, grabbing onto his head and belly.

Declan used his leg to adjust the man and faced him up.

“Who sent you here”

“I uhm…. Ahh… plea—” The man started saying gibberish.

“Answer me!” Declan growled and the man flinched.

“I don’t know… our boss just gathered us and we— ahh!” The man howled, flinching at the pain that struck through his body. Declan’s leg was on his abdomen and he pressed him to the floor.

“Do you have a death wish? huh? You have your last chance!”

The man began to cough due to the pressure on his abdomen.

“Alright sir, please don’t kill me—just check my— back pocket” The man stuttered and Declan narrowed his eyes.

Declan did not check the man’s pocket; rather, he checked that of the dead thug laying at the head side of the man.

Inside the dead man’s pocket was a crest with the Inscription “JK”. Without showing any expression, Declan put the crest in his back pocket. He lifted his leg fro

    “There it is!” Mike yelled, his eyes glittering. He had opened the safe just now. Declan took out a big white envelope and started searching the contents. His eyes lit up when he saw what it contained and he quickly put it away in the bag pack he was carrying. Mike on the order hand was captivated by the stacked of dollar bundles in the safe. He looked at it with hungry eyes, swallowing the saliva in his mouth. It was as though he had seen a palatable burger. “What are you stalling for? That’s your pay right there” Declan said sparing him a glance. “Exactly what I needed to hear.” Mike said and jumped right into the safe, packing the money into his bag. “Wait..” Declan said, raising his hand. They went silent and they could hear footsteps outside. “What’s that?” Mike asked in panic, zipping his back packed and stripping it at his back. “Wait here” Declan moved to the window that faced the south where the car park was. “Shit!” He cursed, walking back to Mike. “Gen

    Declan strode into his room and unzipped his jacket. It had been a long hectic night and he wished to drown himself in warm water. He brought out his phone from his back pocket and placed it on the bedside and walked into the shower.He came out 20 minutes later wrapped in a bathrobe and drying his wet air. His eyes glanced at his phone at the bedside."Shit!" He picked the phone and swiped it up. 50 freaking missed calls."Who the hell?—" He started to complain about the caller but paused when he saw who it was. Mandy. He was instantly washed with guilt for keeping her in the dark. She had left him a message also and when he read it, his eyes bulged from their sockets. He quickly changed into anything he laid hands on first, grabbed his keys and dashed out."How is he?" Declan asked the butler, rushing into the Asher's residence. He was stunned at the amount of staff he saw standing in the living room. He didn't spare them a second and rushed straight to Grandpa Asher's room."Noo

    "Guards, bound him and don't let him go until I say so!" Declan yelled and Mandy’s bodyguards immediately blocked the room’s exit and when Dr. Jim got up on his feet, there was no way out.He glanced around with a deep scowl on his face. “What’s going on here?!” He demanded but no one answered him. They were all engrossed in what Declan was doing to pay any attention to him.“Stop wasting your time and that of everyone here. That man is dead! I have called an ambulance that will be here in a jiffy to take the corpse away!” Dr. Jim yelled, turning to Declan. When Declan did not respond to him, his anger intensified. How dare Declan snub and make a fool of him? He wished to slap Declan in the face but was too scared to make the move. Declan had knocked him down without even touching him and his body was aching really bad.Dr. Jim looked at what Declan was mixing and his heart skipped. “No way,” he said in his mind, his jaw dropping. Declan was mixing some herbs that would obviously

    "Ahh!"Dr. Jim screamed and fell to the ground. He began to convulse on the floor, kicking everything and everyone around him."What's going on with him?" Lily asked in confusion but everyone seemed to be as clueless as she was. "Somebody help him up!" Lily yelled and the guards immediately gave Dr. Jim a helping hand, pulling him up. Dr. Jim sat in a place for a moment trying to recollect his strength. His body was very sore like someone who had been wiped many strokes of cane."Are you ready to tell everyone what you did now?" Declan asked, after he felt he had given Dr. Jim enough time."I don't know what you are talking about." Dr Jim said weakly, panting."Of course you do. Tell them who sent you!" Declan demanded."What do you mean? Mandy clearly stated she called me on referral. How could someone have possibly sent me? Mind you I left a patient to come attend to the man you abandoned urgently." Dr. Jim gritted, in anger.Declan was probing him so much and would soon reveal e

    Declan reached Dr. Jim, snatched his bag and poured the entire contents of the floor."What!?""What is he doing!?"Everyone asked in unison, surprised at what Declan had just done.Declan ignored all of them and began to scatter everything on the floor until he found Dr. Jim's ID card."Give that back!" Dr Jim tried to snatch his ID from Declan's grip but Declan dodged him."Darius Cowper ?"Declan read the name on the ID and everyone's jaw dropped.Declan chucked inwardly. His instincts were never wrong and besides the brothers had a striking resemblance. Dr. Jim became more furious, curling his hands by his side in a tight fist."Give that back now!" He growled. "Cowper? You're related to Mr. bench? This is unbelievable." Mandy gasped, covering her mouth with both hands. She hadn't expected this to be the case. Everything explains it now. Dr. Jim probably came after her grandfather in retaliation."What is your mission in here pretending to be a doctor!" Declan barked but Dr

    "Argh!" "Dr. Jim let out a loud yelp. Everyone in the room gasped at the same time, awed at Declan's brutality and strength. He had just snapped the bone of a grown as though it was just a stick. "Your legs will be next. That way, you won't be able to use them for the rest of your miserable life." Declan's thick voice spat. Everyone in the room went still, all looking at Dr. Jim to see what he would do. "Will he still disobey and become a crippled?" The servants whispered among themselves. "I— you! You will pay for what you've done. I promise you that!" Dr. Jim wailed trying to sit up. "You have five seconds. 5! 4!...." Declan's voice thundered, frightening everyone. Even Dr. Jim went stiff at the authority in Declan's aura. What was he going to do now? Will Declan really break his limbs? "Two.... And One!" Declan finished the countdown and without wasting a second, he grabbed Dr. Jim's left leg and was about to break it. "Wait!" Trina yelled, stepping forward. "I won't

May yelled, snatching her hand away from her mom's grip.Clara frowned deeply, anger rising up from her belly, she immediately struck her hand across May's face in a slap."Ahh!" May sighed, holding her face with both hands."You slapped me?!" Her eyes flashed in shock at her mom."And I will slap you again and again! How dare you? You just ruined everything for me!" Clara yelled, her eyes flashing in anger.May shook her head to the sides in disbelief. How could her mom do this to her? Because of a man they barely knew."I hate you mom. So much!" May seethed and ran to their car.Clara gasped at May's words. She hadn't seen that coming. " uhm— sweetie, wait!"Clara went back to the table shortly after.

    May got home that night and her eyes were swollen from crying so much. She was yet to accept what she just witnessed. She always had her suspicions anyway but seeing them intimate with her own eyes was the most heart wrenching thing ever.It made her question Declan's motive towards her. Why was he still kind to her when he had already moved on? It annoyed May that she thought Declan was still around all along because he wanted her back. What a delusion. "Where have you been?"Clara asked as soon as May entered the living room. She had sat to wait for her daughter when she returned home and she was not back yet."I went to get fresh air," May said, walking past her mom to the stairs. The last thing she wanted was for Clara to see her in that state. "I was worried about you, but that's not important. The most important thing now is that you're home." Clara said. Her eyes followed May up the stairs and she contemplated if she should follow her up."Uhmm.. Robinson wants a redate. But

    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
