Nathan fixed a cold stare at Declan. His eyes were clouded with detest and pain and a deep frown marred his forehead. Declan returned the gesture with a daring glare. His mouth was curved in a smirk, a proof that he enjoyed every bit of gloat exuding from Nathan. His eye darted to the bed on hearing a wince. "May...." he had almost forgotten about her state. He moved to the bed and held her up."You're awake?...." He plastered a kiss on her forehead and lifted her into his arms. He looked down at her, his eyes saying every emotion his mouth cannot. He cursed under his breath and took her away. At the hallway Clara stood with Ashley, waiting. They heard footsteps approach and turned to see Declan with May in his arms. "Give her back!" Clara scowled, standing in his way. She was surprised at May's condition but didn't let it show. Her interest at that moment was to get her away from Declan. "Move from my way" Declan ordered with a tight jaw. His hoarse voice was cold and stern. He

Declan's eye lifted to her face, his empty gaze fixed on her. Mandy almost regretted why she asked before Declan blinked and spoke up. "You know...." he paused, biting his words. "I need it for the same reason everyone else needs a herb, to cure and ailment." He shrugged and lifted an empty glass to cheers in the air. His choice of words was well picked doing little or nothing to feed Mandy's curiosity. She bit her lower lip while she peered at him. "Okay then. Maybe what actually happened out there with May earlier will be an easier thing to tell. I mean I can't help asking, considering how you look" Her hands and eyes ogled him from head to toe as she spoke. Declan chuckled lightly at the expression on her face. "There's nothing to tell, you know. May was just in—" "Trouble and you went to help her out and she's safe now. I already know that much. Tell me more. What was really the problem and how did you end up like this?" She sipped from her juice glass and cocked it at De

May's eyes opened to a blurry view of the ceiling above her. She blinked lazily trying to make sense of where she was. She squinted her eyes in recognition of her bedroom space, fully conscious. She groaned when she tried to sit up. Her head was really hurting and her body was sore. "You're awake? Thank goodness." Clara walked into the room towards her. "Mom?" May whispered on hearing her mom's voice. "It's me darling, your mom is here" Clara sat above May's head on the bed, taking her pale hands in hers, giving it a light squeeze. "What happened? Where's he?" May looked around frantically, her fear showing. Her memory slowly recollected the incident with Nathan and it creeped her skin. "He's gone, my darling. You're safe now. Your mom saved you from that monster." Clara squeezed her hand reassuringly with wet eyes. She brought May into her arms and hugged her tight. May clung to her mom with everything in her. Memories with Nathan earlier flash through her mind and she

May woke up the next morning, not feeling her best but definitely better than she felt the previous day. She had a long day ahead and definitely shouldn't be in bed. She arrived at Lucien Enterprise premises later at noon and stood before the glass skyscraper building where everything in Lucien's name is created. She had always admired their ethics and work style. Lucien was one of the companys she drew inspiration from when she newly took up her grandfather's business. Too bad some individuals have almost wiped away the last drop of admiration she bore for the company. She stepped into the building and headed straight to the administrative floor. She was there for Nathan and nothing would stop her from meeting with him and tackling to the last, whatever was left hanging between them. "Is he in?" May asked Nathan's secretary casually. One may think she has the best relationship with him. She wore dark shades for perfect disguise. The petite lady in her late twenties looked up

He turned to enter his car and with a nod signal from the men's leader, they all attacked Declan. Declan grabbed the first man by his right and twisted his hand in a second, prompting a yelp cry from his throat. Two men leaped on him from behind and he fly kicked them down, his leg breaking the intricate part of their throat. Their hands clung to their neck as they coughed out blood. Declan looked around at the last three men standing, aside their leader. The men slowly bounced up to him with clenched fist ready to throw punch at any chance. In a split second, Declan took them down in a low spin kick. He pressed his leg on one of the men's neck with his face curved in a smirk. The leader scowled. He glared at Declan and at his men all down and badly hurt. His chest moved up and down in rage, his clenched first growing pale from the tightness. With a whistle blow, he hopped into his car leaving his men to scamper their way in before they zoomed off. "Tell your master to come

Everything about Nathan irked Mandy to her bones. His smile made her want to puke and she rolled her eyes at his brazenness. She glanced at Declan and his tight jaw and Clenched fist told her what might come next. She didn't blame him, anyone in his shoes would be triggered. "Let's go." She took his hand trying to take him with her. "Proud of him huh? You're just one of his numerous hoes out there. So don't think much of yourself, Barbie. I bet he didn't mention he has a wife and dumped her to be with sluts like you. What lies has he told you? Huh? Declan was beyond triggered and had reached his limit. He was eager to shut Nathan up by throwing the first punch but a wimpy sound caught Declan's ear and he turned to see May in the hallway. His eyes narrowed in surprise, his angry eyes now subtle and tender. He was about to speak but stopped when May shook her head in disapproval. She broke their gaze, her eyes falling on Mandy's arm twined with his. Something flashed through her eyes.

Mandy She spoke to his father, "I don't have a personal vendetta against anyone, but some things just can't be taken back. I'm highly disappointed at everything. My supposed business partners should be reliable and honest. I'm afraid the meeting will not be held." "We're reliable. What happened I'm sure was a misunderstanding of some sort." Mr Will tried to plead. "A company that oppresses others has no business with reliability!" Declan snorted. Mr Will glared at Declan but felt awkward at the knowledge of what he was referring to. "I will— see what I can do to fix that." He grunted. "I still plead with you, Ms, Asher. Forgive him, forgive us. We would love to attend your upcoming bidding next week. Don't forbid our presence." Mandy was getting over-pumped with everything. She had had enough. "I will consider that, Mr Will. But right now, I should be on my way " He turned and walked away. Declan followed right behind. In the car, Declan's phone buzzed in his pocket. He to

Squeaky.... squeaky..." The sound of little rats filled the dark room. May huffed in her unconsciousness at the noise. Something began to climb her leg, tickling her half-awake. "Uhm— um" She sighed and two rats climbed her both legs in a chase, jerking her awake. "OMG!" She screamed, her eyes snapping open into the darkness. Her bound legs stamped frantically on the hard concrete floor to send the little creatures away. Then she realized her shoes were gone. She glanced around frantically at the emptiness of a dark room. Where was she? She tried to move, but was stuck. Her hands were tightly held behind the iron chair with a twine in the middle of the dark room. Her legs were no better. Fear gripped her neck . The memory of the last incident slowly crawled back into her head and her grief grew. Tears instantly began to roll down her face at self deprecation. She remembered She was driving and angry at someone— her mom? —Declan? Or both. She had driven way too recklessly and landed

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
