Lyon’s arrogance irritated Lucas, he didn’t stand a chance against Lyon and part of him was grateful to the person that shot the gun.“Just because you were able to get my back on the ground doesn’t give you the right to talk like you would win again if we ever decided for a rematch.” Lucas spat.Lyon smirked and even that was enough to send Lucas’ blood into a rage of their own as he clenched his fist.“I’m not agreeing to a rematch,” Lyon responded with a little sneer, “I already won this round and I want you to steer clear of Chelsey.” He added.Without saying anything else, Lyon signaled for Abraham to help get the car around while he warned Lucas.“If you bother her again then that would open the ground for not only you behind bars but for your police uncle too.”“I don’t make empty threats and I really hope that you wouldn’t try to snoop around for what I can do because you wouldn’t like it.”The sound of a car revving behind them caused Lyon to smile as he asked Chelsey to get
Back in Lyon’s house.Chelsey wouldn’t stop crying, she kept imagining the worst scenario and wondered what would’ve happened if Lyon had died.The sound of her phone ringing caused her to stop crying, she took a look at it and it was an unknown number.“Hello,” she sniffled into the phone, “who is this?” She asked and the next voice that came made her blood freeze.She’d thought that it was all over, why was he calling her again? What does he want from her this time around?“You managed to get away under the protection of your new boyfriend, didn’t you?” The voice came and she shivered.Her lips quivered and the air conditioner became almost unbearable for her as she shook violently.“What the hell do you want from me?” She almost yelled into the phone but she controlled herself.Lucas laughed maniacally, they might have thought he was done but he wasn’t at all, he was just getting started.“I don’t know, Chelsey but didn’t I tell you that I wasn’t ready to let you go until I was don
Elliot didn’t say anything but deep within him he was seething with rage, he was now sure that Lyon knew he was the one who shot him.He was also sure that Lyon knew that he was working for Nicola now but the last thing Elliot wanted was to play right into his hand.He had to think of something, a way to throw Lyon off course and he wondered why Lyon suspected him, why he didn’t suspect other people.“Of everyone in this organization,” Elliot started talking, “of everyone that could’ve been the traitor, you chose to place your bet on me?”“And that too on a two percent chance that I could be the traitor?” Elliot sneered and Elen only watched as it unfolded.“I’ve been working in this organization for over a decade without doing anything that goes against the code of conduct and you’re suspecting me?” Elliot asked.Lyon didn’t say anything as a smile tugged on the side of his lips, he didn’t want to talk too much when he was sure.He lied about it being a two percent chance that Elliot
The day went by really fast and it didn’t take long for Lyon to get home. Chelsey was waiting for him but she got scared and rushed to her room the moment she heard his car come in.“Where is she?” Lyon asked Abraham as soon as he got inside the building, “I need to talk to her.” He added.“She’s in her room, she was waiting for you but I guess she was too embarrassed to face you.” Abraham answered.“Did you already know about this?” Abraham asked after a while of silence and Lyon nodded. He had known about Lucas and Chelsey for a long time.“Why didn’t you say anything about it?” Abraham asked, he liked Chelsey but he was starting to get mad at her for lying.“Because I knew that she must have a reason for lying to me,” Lyon responded, he didn’t want to see her yet even though he wanted to talk.“I’m hungry,” he said to one of the maids who quickly left to set the table for him and soon, Lyon was eating, “she’s a very bad liar.” He added.“I knew from the very beginning but I guess I
Lyon stayed up almost the entire night trying to think of the best thing to do to Lucas, he had taken responsibility for Chelsey and he had to help her.On the other hand, he wouldn’t stop thinking about Nicola and Elliot, he had a plan but didn’t know the proper way to execute it.Tired, he closed his eyes to sleep and that was when his system started beeping incessantly, reminding him of a task he’s yet to complete.“The building behind the monsters!” Lyon remembered, he had completely forgotten about it with everything going on.The sound of his phone ringing jolted him out of his thoughts and he looked to see that it was an unknown number.“Who is it?” He asked and a familiar sound came from the other end of the phone, resounding in his ear.“Lucas.” Lyon sneered, he was angry and his teeth gritted as his fist clenched. His eyes didn’t leave the screen above his head as the countdown kept going on.He would be transported to that domain in the next thirty minutes and while he’s th
“What?!” Lyon almost screamed as he tried to jump out of bed but he felt too weak to do that.He never imagined that he passed out for three days, he still couldn’t believe it so he looked to Abraham and Elen for help.“I’m glad you’re okay,” Chelsey cut in, putting a halt to all his thoughts as she hugged him tightly. She had cried her eyes out already.“Can you please excuse us, we need to speak to him alone.” Elen said and with a nod, Chelsey reluctantly left.She hadn’t seen him around the house in a while so she had thought of going to check on him but she was shocked when she saw him.His body was red, almost as if he was being buried by a fire and out of fear, she had called Abraham who called Elen.For good three days, Chelsey didn’t leave his side because she was worried about him, she couldn’t eat or sleep and she was the happiest now.“Are you going to eat something now?” One of the maids asked her as soon as she stepped out of Lyon’s room and she shook her head.“I’m going
Nicola and Elliot were at the edge, their anger pushing and forcing them to do things that they both had planned to put on hold.“You shouldn’t have attacked the organization like that, boss.” Elliot scolded Nicola, it was the first time he actually had the nerve to speak up.“It’s bad enough that Lyon Armstrong suspects us, do you think that doing something like this would help?” He asked angrily.Nicola fist clenched as his teeth gritted against each other, his eyes turned red and it was taking all that he had in him to hold himself back.“WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU’RE TALKING TO?” Nicola yelled as he smashed his hand on the table.His breathing was heavy as he looked at Elliot who already looked so scared for his life. Elliot’s head was low as he apologized.“I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be rude,” Elliot said, “I just thought we could’ve taken a different approach.” He added.“Lyon Armstrong would know that the attack came from you and he wouldn’t want to stop chasing after you.”
Lyon’s meeting with Lucas didn’t really go well and he just knew that if he let Lucas go, he wouldn’t stop disturbing Chelsey.“Did he call you today?” Lyon asked while he had lunch with Chelsey and she shook her head.She was completely oblivious that Lucas’s plan had backfired on him and he was now in the underground prison that was in the house.“He’s never going to bother you again, don’t worry.” Lyon smiled before dabbing the napkin on his lips.He was done eating and he needed to get on with his task for the day. He didn’t feel as weak as when he initially woke up and the last thing he wanted was to be taken into the penalty realm.Lyon made his way to the training room he once trained in with Elen and he used the punching bag for a little while.His tasks had been upgraded and they weren’t like before anymore, he wasn’t even done with them yet and he was starting to feel exhausted.Trying his hardest, Lyon made sure that he pushed through until he was completely done with his d
