Declan grabbed his phone as he drove off and dialed Mandy. He put the call in the speaker “Great, you are not dead yet.” Mandy said and Declan smiled. “Funny how one of the things I like about you happens to be your level of sarcasm.” “Why did you call? Did you get the him?” “Yes. I got him and questioned him to my satisfaction. Also, you might want to go through your men again. A guard was impersonating one of your men. Just killed him a few minutes ago before I called you.” “Omg Are you hurt?” “Do you actually think that a mere face off bodyguard would be able to hurt me” “Didn't know I insinuated that” “No problems, Mandy. I will be going to confront the culprit behind my recent disturbances. I will attack the Smiths mansion.” “No way Jordan smith is the mastermind behind everything” Mandy gaped in shock. “No. His right hand man, Tom is. From the kidnapping of May to the actions of Jason. I suppose he implored Jason to distract May or something but he pretty sure he is be
‘Declan King?’’ Tom’s face paled. How the hell did that man make his way into the factory without setting off a single alarm? Declan gave a side smile and started to make his way towards the stairs, his gaze still fixed on Tom. “Everyone, stop what you are doing. We have an intruder. Stop your work and stop that man.” Tom yelled, pointing at Declan. The men turned following Tom’s pointing finger and their gazes landed on Declan who was still walking towards the stairs without a care in the world towards the men looking at him. “What are you stalling for? I said get him!” Tom yelled again and the men started to rush towards Declan. Tom was not still satisfied. He turned to the four men standing behind him. “What are you waiting for? Stop him from Getting to the stairs!.” The men nodded and started down the stairs rushing towards Declan. Declan's smile changed into a frown as the first man reached him. He jabbed out and the man crumbled before being stomped by the advancers. D
“James, I have some news for you. I know who killed your brother.”“What do you mean?” James asked looking at Jordan with confusion etched on his face.“I mean that your brother is dead and I know that is the reason you are here. I can tell you the person who is responsible for his death.” Jordan said sipping his wine.“Well, spill the beans… because that's exactly why I’m here.” James said his face reddening with anger. “Whatever you want will be given to you, just tell me the person who killed my brother.”“You can keep your reward to yourself. It is actually my pleasure to give you this information… The person behind his death goes by the name… Declan King, do with him whatever you wish”~Back at the Smith’s residence, Declan walked away from Tom’s dead body making his way through the flames towards the exit. He could hear distinct voices and turned to see one of the guards making a phone call amidst the fire.“You know, making a call when I'm still in the same room as you is co
‘This was not what she had signed up for.’May turned to Declan and saw a smirk on his face that she wanted to slap off. He was smiling like he didn’t care about the gravity of James Livingston’s presence in the city, especially if he was the one who had killed Jason. She walked up to him and grabbed his collar.“Declan, I want you to tell me the truth. Did you kill Jason Livingston?” “How else did you think I got back the money that he was planning on swindling from you and your mother?” he replied grimly. “Speaking of which, I haven’t wired the transfer yet.” He pulled out his phone and started to click on it.“Stop that. I want a straight answer; did you kill Jason or not?” May asked, hugging in by his collar.“Yes. I killed that bastard, and I am not worried so I don’t see any reason why you should be worried.” Declan said, pulling May’s hands from his collar before finishing the transfer.May’s phone beeped and she looked at it to see a transfer of a hundred million dollars. She
“James Livingston, Jason's younger brother.” “Mother! Another Livingston? I think Jason’s death was traumatizing enough and now you want me to date his younger brother?” May grumbled. “It would be fine. It may spring up some rumors but when the relationship starts to bloom, the rumors will die out.” Clara assured. “Fine” May sighed. “I will meet him but that will have to be later. I already have a project that will demand my utmost attention. I would rather not have a Livingston distracting that.” May said and Clara smiled at her. “Alright then, you can go to bed. You must have been very tired from that meeting.” Clara said, letting go of her daughter’s arm. May walked out of the dining room straight for her bedroom. She needed to be alone. ~ The next day at Asher’s group and company, Mandy was in her office when the door flew open and her secretary walked in looking like she had run a cross country race. “What is it?” Mandy asked without raising her head from her laptop. “Emm,
“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
