"Did I interrupt something?" May asked walking up to Declan and Mandy. She looked at them quizzically. "Not at all. We were just about to leave." Mandy said, pushing away from Declan. She had a superior look on her face adjusting her dress as she stood up. "Tell your mom I gave my thanks for the dinner. Have a lovely night." Mandy said with ease.She did not show any sign of awkwardness as usual to Declan's surprise. Is she perhaps trying to make their affair public now? "Thank you again for coming." May replied with a forced smile. Mandy turned to leave, but tripped on her heels. "Watch out." Declan stepped in closer to her side, catching her fall."Too much wine." Mandy smiled apologetically, limping for balance. "Let me help you." Declan offered, holding her hand in his and leading her out of the Williams residence.May watched Mandy and Declan walk away, with their hands locked together and something twisted in her chest. Are they officially together now? She asked herself
Peter, who had been watching the fight all this while from his car parked some feets away, was bewildered. He had never seen the kind of skill Declan possessed in his entire life. Was Declan even human? He wondered. Declan's gaze instantly snapped up and landed on Peter where he was parked at the side of the road. Immediately Peter saw that Declan had seen him, he froze, suddenly drenching in cold sweat. Declan started towards him in frantic steps and Peter's heart skipped a beat. His hands started the car frantically and he zoomed off. "Boss! Boss!" Peter rushed into Mr Benches office falling on his feet. Mr Bench who was startled sprang up instantly looking past Peter. He didn't see anyone with him and it added to his confusion. "What is the matter? Why are you here all alone?""Boss, he is coming. He will kill us all if he gets to us." Peter cried in panic. "What do you mean kill us?" Bench asked furiously. "I asked you to bring the head of a man to me. What are you saying
May drove at a high speed on the empty road of the city. She had a target, to get to Declan before he started the fire. His location said he was at Jordan Smith's house. "Isn't he the business mogul that died a few days back?" May thought aloud. She wondered what Declan could possibly be looking for in his house. She turned to the other lane that led to the Smith's estate, her blood pumping from adrenalin rush as she drew closer. "There he is!" May exclaimed when she saw Declan at the entrance of the house. She quickly parked her car and jumped down. Declan heard footsteps behind him and he spun around sharply, his pistol in his hand. "It's me!" May Jerked, throwing her hands up. "May?" Declan narrowed his gaze in surprise. "What are you doing here?'"I should be asking you Declan. What are you doing here"May asked, folding her arms across her chest. She glared at Declan accusingly. Declan walked a few distance past May, glancing around."You're alone, perfect. Now climb back
The Chief Warden sat behind his office desk, with a cigar in his mouth. He puffed a thick smoke in the air shifting his gaze to the door. "Come in." His deep voice husked as he leaned back in the chair."Sir, we have arrested the young man in question." The Warden's aid, Fisher said. "Very good. Where is he now?""We locked him away in the west cell.""That's alright. He must remain there for now and he must not receive any visitors. Understood?" The Warden yelled. "Yes sir!" Fisher stamped his feet on the floor with a salute. The Chief prison warden waved his hand dismissing Fisher. His desk phone rang at that moment and he picked it up. "Hello sir." The Chief Warden spoke first excitedly. "How's it going?" Bench's thick voice echoed from the speaker."Everything is going as planned. I can assure you the stupid boy is done for, this time." The Chief Warden spoke assuredly.Capturing Declan was a easy as eating a piece of cake that he wondered why Bench was very anxious and
"Aghhh!"The Chief Warden howled, holding out his hand to his face. A striking pain struck through him and he instantly felt queazy. The good hand which he struck Declan with just now has turned red and battered like something that was crushed by a truck. The Chief Warden's eyes bulged from their sockets, gazing at his hand. At the damage done to it. He began to shake his hand frantically, suddenly uncoordinated and anxious."Sir! Are you alright?" Fisher, rushed to his boss, taking the broken hand in his. He gazed at it in shock then back at Declan who sat emotionless as if nothing had happened. Not understanding what just happened, Fisher swallowed, moving away from Declan and focusing fully on his boss."Sir! Sir!"Fisher yelled shaking The Chief Warden to speak what the Chief Warden didn't say a word. The Chief Warden was too stunned to move, the pain too grave for him to react. His heart beat thumped and a panic attack was foreseen. Fisher tried to help but it was too lat
All efforts to get Declan talk were not futile. Declan only responded to questions with another question annoying the Chief Warden the more."You! You don't know what you have gotten yourself into." The chief spat. "I want to see my lawyer." Declan demanded.The chief warden smirked. A loud evil smirk that suggested that Declan must be kidding."You are so clueless. There's no such thing in here boy, your life is in my hands now." The Chief Warden gestured with his hand as he spoke."Isn't what you are doing against the law? I am entitled to a Lawyer."A mocking laughter cracked from the Chief Warden's throat. "Nobodies like yourself have no business under the protection of the law Kid. The earlier you accept that the better."Declan looked at the Chief Warden in a hard stare. The man seemed to be having a lot of fun.Declan's eyes trailed his body and paused on his broken hand. A white bandage was wrapped around it to keep it in place. The Chief Warden saw where Declan was lookin
Mandy's grip tightened on the steering wheel, her aura emitting a burning rage. She turned sharply to the other lane, a rather reckless move for someone who didn't plan to kill herself. Driving herself that day was definitely a terrible idea. Bench's words replayed in her head multiple times and she knew it would stick with her for long. Everything Bench said was to torment her and kudos to him for a job well delivered. Not only that all he said was tormenting, it pissed her off that he was right. How could she be so stupid? Did she think she could hide the truth from Declan forever?She slammed her hand on the steering, honking the horn angrily, prompted stares from people on the street. Increasing the gear, Mandy zoomed off at enormous speed. At the Chief warden's office, the Chief Warden sat before his tray of launch. He was munching on the pork when his phone rang. "Huh?" He looked up at the unknown caller that flashed on his screen with a squinted gaze."Hello..." He said w
The Chief Warden marched out of his office with heavy steps. This aura emitted superiority and power."Bring them out!" He ordered and the guards creaked the doors of the prison open.Declan and May looked up at them in shock. The three guards that stormed into their cell didn't look like they came to play at all. "What's going on?" May asked, panicking. She shifted closer to Declan in fret. "Just stay still, May." Declan tried to calm her down."What's the meaning of this?" Declan asked The Chief Warden. The chief warden did not reply to him but instead, he turned to his men and growled. "Now!"The guards immediately grabbed May and hauled her away from Declan's side."No—No! Let me go!" May screamed, struggling to get off their grip. Declan immediately sprang up to go after her but more men blocked his way."Don't do anything Declan, this is them trying to provoke you! I will be fine!" May yelled as they dragged her away. Declan's gaze followed her out and his features darkened
