Declan turned towards the window before grabbing Mandy and pulling them both under a table.

A bullet flew into the room from the window shattering glasses into the room and piercing Declan in previous places.

Declan waited for a minute before raising his head to look out of the window where the bullet had come from but there was no assailant in sight.

“What was that?” Mandy asked, her heart beating frantically in her chest.

“If I am not mistaken, I have An assassin after me.” Declan said, pulling out the bullet from the couch. “And a very good one at that. It seems that someone is after me this time”

Mandy watched Declan dust the glasses that had landed on him.

“Are you alright?”

“Perfect.”

“Now, what are you going to do?”

Mandy asked, her forehead etched in worry.

“What do you think I am going to do, Mandy?” Declan asked with a smirk.

“Knowing you, definitely something stupid. Declan, an assassin, is after you. Can't you consider the fact that it is possible t

    “Get down!” Jason growled same time the bullet shattered the glass beside their table. May looked at Declan terrified as he pinned her to the floor. Screams blasted from the restaurant as Declan stood up tracing the trajectory of the bullet to the source. He could see a masked man in black dismantling a sniper. “Stay here. I will be back.” Declan said, grabbing his keys and rushed out of the restaurant. He walked outside and looked towards the fence where the sighted the man and a figure ran out of the building with a large case in hand. Declan took off to his car and climbed, instantly driving towards the man who was already boarding a bike. The man raised his face and saw Declan coming after him. He started his bike and zoomed off with Declan after him in a hot pursuit. May ran out of the restaurant to seeing Declan driveoff. She pulled out her phone with shaky hands and dialed his number. “I said I will be back for you. Something came up.” Declan said with urgency in his

    “No, but you would beg and wish that you were dead.” Declan walked towards the assassin and plunged the syringe into his neck emptying the contents into his body. “Good enough for me.” The assassin said without a hint of worry on his face. “I was ready to die the first day I took up this job . “I don’t think you have been getting what I was saying, this is not going to kill you, but you wish for death but it wouldn’t come.” Declan said and the assassin coughed up a bit of blood. “Something is wrong. That’s not how cyanide kills.” The assassin glared at Declan and doubled over releasing more amounts of blood than before. “What did you do to me?” “Nothing that will kill you. So are you ready to talk or do you need a second dose?” Declan asked with a wry smile, showing him the syringe which was filled. The assassin went pale in fear as he glared at Declan. “I can’t talk, that is part of the job description.” The assassin grunted “Funny that you are talking about assassin policie

    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

    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
