"Just like that? OMG, that was so easy" Clara remarked delightfully."I told you it will take just a phone call. It's reall nothing." Jason lied with a straight face. There was no way he was going to admit to these people that his father had shunned him. They wouldn’t take him seriously if he did. He however had a plan, he would speak to his father in person when he get to the office. He was hoping the old man would listen to him. "Thank you very much, Jason. This means a lot to me."May was truly surprised and impressed. It was taking her forever to sort things out with Nathan and Jason here just had everything settled with just one phone call! He is really influential."Oh don't thank me, it's always my pleasure to be of help to an amazing woman like you." Jason pretended to be humble, whereas he enjoyed the praise they rained on him. He cleared his throat then continued. "There's an upcoming gala this weekend, hosted by the Director Asher groups and company. I would love you to
Declan goes to find the Butler but he is not on duty. "We haven't seen him in two days now. He didn't even give a leave notice." One of the security spoke. For two days? That's exactly how long the men visited. So the butler hasn't been to work since that day. "Do you have his address?" Declan asked. "Young mistress has the profile of everyone." The security man said, growing suspicious of Declan. He has seen Declan around a couple of times but he didn't trust him and whatever he was trying to dig. "I don't want her to know about this, tell me where your colleague lives." Declan demanded, pinning a cold stare at the security man. "But why don't you want her—""Are you the only one on duty?" Declan interrupted glancing around. "No, why?" The security man reached for the baton by the side of his uniform, his face etched in worry. "Good." Declan stated and knocked him off with one blow. The man had tried to use his baton but he is no match for Declan in speed. Declan noticed
The other men charged in rage and attacked Declan at once. He handled them with ease, kicking and beating them with their own weapons. They were no match for him so he didn't kill them. They however lost either an arm or ankle in a simple twist."Oops" Declan exclaimed when his punch landed on the chest of one of the men and blood pooled from the man’s mouth. Declan didn't plan for that to happen, too bad. Few minutes later, all the men were on the ground, groaning in pain. They rained curses at Declan as he tiptoed around them to the inner room. In there, were the men he was looking for. They sat on the couch in the room and one pointed a gun at Declan immediately he entered. They were waiting for him. Declan raised his hands in a fake surrender."I'm only here for business." He shrugged and the men let out an angry groan. "For real. Tell me what I want to hear and I will let you live." Declan said. The guy with the gun tightened his jaw and his eyes narrowed in shock at Declan's
It's the night of the gala and Declan was early at Mandy Asher's residence. She was taking a long time to get ready so he waited in the living room. Heels clicked on the stairs and Declan looked up at Mandy alight from the stairs and his jaw dropped. Mandy looked like a goddess in the red dinner dress she wore. The silk cowl neck body con dress perfectly defined her voluptuous body. Declan was enamored by her beauty and elegance. She is one of the prettiest women in the world. "You like what you see, Mr. King?" Mandy smiled gently, conscious of the way his eyes roamed his body."You look—stunning, Ms. Asher." Declan replied huskily, his eyes not leaving her body. He walked to the foot of the stairwell and offered her a hand which she took. "All these can be yours, Mr. King. Just say the word." Mandy bit her lower lip, her gaze seductive as she flickered her eyes all over Declan's face. "How about we try not to be late to your own event?" Declan smiled gently and Mandy rolled he
Inside the party room, Declan searched for Mandy but she was nowhere to be found. He bumped into Clara at the bar. "Declan?!" Clara was surprised "What are you doing here? Are you stalking us now?""What do you mean stalking you? Am I not allowed to be at a party by myself?”Clara scoffed. " There’s no way you got an invite. Look around you, do you see anyone in your class here? How did you pass the security?"Declan simply looked at Clara flatly. He was not in the mood for her whining. He ignored her and turned to the bartender. "A shot of tequila, please." Declan ordered. Since Mandy is likely to avoid him all through the night, he might as well keep himself busy."Ah." Clara gasped. "You stole an invite didn't you? Oh, shameless Declan, why is it so hard to know your place? You shouldn't force to hang out with people clearly out of your league. My daughter dumped you, why not move on with a lowlife like yourself? Humph!" Clara rolled her eyes. She turned to walk away but May was
"Ashley!" Mandy screamed, her hands flying to her mouth. Her sister was on the floor unconscious and a strange man was trying to take off her clothes. Ashley had gone on her way as soon as they got to the party and no one knew her whereabouts. "What are you doing?! Leave my sister alone!" May barked, rushing at the man but he slapped her using his back palm."Argh!" May groaned, landing on the floor. She touched her lips and brought her hand to her mouth. Blood. He broke her mouth.The man resumed what he was doing. Tugging on Ashley's coset-dress to get it off. "Get off my sister!" May growled again pulling one leg of her heel. She threw it at the man but missed. "Mind your damn business! This has nothing to do with you." The man barked, hesitating to hit May again. But May didn’t back down, she pulled the second leg of her heel and threw it, this time it landed on the man's temple."Arghh!" The man groaned, coming for May with a tight fist. "No... No..." May began to back o
“Get your face down!” One of the men ordered and the crowd laid flat, face down. Fear gripped them by the throat. Gunshots released in the air and everyone screamed in terror. The men raided the party, throwing things upside down. The atmosphere became catastrophic and tense. Guests’ yells and screams filled the air as they sought to take cover. "What in the world is going on out here?!" Mandy demanded in confusion, stepping out to the commotion. "The knight of spade is here, my lady.” Mandy’s manager reported in panic . “The knight of spade? What is he doing here?” Mandy asked, surprised. The knight doesn’t attend corporate events and Mandy didn’t invite him.“Someone beat up his son and words got to him." Mandy's manager explained."Bull shit!" Mandy raged. No one dared to turn her party upside down. Declan, where was he, she thought.Walking on further, the armed men saw Mandy approach without cower. One tried to pin her down but his colleague whispered something to his ear a
“I pledge my undying loyalty to you, great Knight. Say the word and I shall make it happen.” Jason declared with his head bowed. The knight grunted, glaring at Jason. Information reached him that Jason was there when the lowlife stranger assaulted his son but stood and did nothing. "You dare to show your face here?!""I came to be useful to your Lord. I'm well acquainted with the family. In Fact the Lady in question who was the reason for the fight thinks I'm her husband-to-be. I can get her before you in a piece or whole just by your word." Jason declared with determination. He had been wanting to get on the good side of the Knight and there was a perfect opportunity. His father doesn't regard him anymore ever since he made one mistake that cost them a fortune. Jason had been living a shadow of himself while he tried to get back his father's approval, part of the reason why he was in May's life. But there was another way to gain back his father's favor even quicker. If he can get t
