Daryl, however, did something that he didn't do in the least. He nodded, chuckling right after the detective had stated the reason for his arrest. "Watch me get out of this Cage. You will see." He added, before breaking into a sick laughter. Cage could barely hold back his disgust, the fact that he was relishing his evil acts told him how much of a psychopath this man was. "You think you can destroy everything I have worked for and get away with it? Watch me lock you up and make you rot in jail for your crimes. This is the end of the road for you." He growled at Daryl before nodding at them then taking him away. Daryl replied sharply. "You are the one who has been destroying everything, Cage. I'm just levelling the playing field and keeping everything balanced, as it should be." He replied before he began to walk after the police officers. "You despicable bastard! You will regret every bit of this. You will pay for what you've done!" He growled again before reminding himself that
Carmen didn't expect any moment like this was ever coming for them. They had plotted it all perfectly, but somehow Cage had been able to opt out that they were the ones who caused everything and he had also come for them, to make things worse, her husband was already being questioned and if things didn't go well, he was well on his way to Jail. It all showed how much of a powerful person Cage was and the prospect of their lives if the issue wasn't taken care of immediately. Her hope was to get things sorted out easily, even though she knew it would be hard for Cage to agree to let out her husband. Just as she had expected, he had chased her out even though she had begged him desperately. She wasn't sad, nor was she angry with him since that was the way anyone would have expected him to react, but she had hoped that he would have somehow had a change of heart in order to prevent her second plan which meant she was going to counter his efforts with a force of her own. She downed anoth
"We are finally turning things around!" Cage exclaimed as he got home. With Daryl and the chefs in police custody, and with the investigations still ongoing, his restaurant was starting to get some trust and few people had started to come back to his restaurant. He had even gone as far as announcing on several national televisions about what had happened and it seemed the people still trusted him. He was so happy when he saw the little number that poured into his restaurant that day, it meant that more people would come in the future. He couldn't wait for everything to settle and go back to normal like it used to be. But this time, he was going to make sure that nothing or even anybody was going to be able to penetrate and deal them a blow from within. He had learnt his first lesson and it had taken him a lot of work and tactics to get everything back to normal. It had been a very tough road but he had made it. Chloe, who was sitting in the living room, got up and hugged him warmly,
The next day, Cage decided that it was best to go to her family house and take care of the situation himself. And just as she had complained to him the the before, Cage met them yelling at each other. He observed the scene before him, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy as he watched the whole thing. Her cousins were engaged in a bitter argument as they yelled at each other, and accused themselves of several other things. He was shocked. "I can't believe you're suggesting that I should take care of Dad! You're the oldest, you should be the one to do it!" The girl who looked the youngest among them thundered, glaring at her elder brother. It was clear that she was spoiled. "Oh, please! Don't act like you're too busy to help out. We all know you're just lazy and selfish!" He growled back at her. The third, who had seen Cage and Chloe quickly went to diffuse the situation. "Both of you need to calm down. This isn't going to help the situation!" She yelled, but her words fell on deaf
Cage was dreaming when a pounding sound jarred him from sleep. He woke up breathing heavily as if he had seen a nightmare. Something was wrong, he knew it. But he couldn't tell what it was. It felt as if it was right there in front of him but he still couldn't understand what it was and how it had happened. He groaned and finally looked around the room. That was the moment it all came crashing down on him what had happened. The impact made the blood beat in his brain. He facepalmed.That was the moment the events of last night started to come back slowly, like a broken record, each one more shocking than the other. A pang of shock ran through him as he remembered every single one of it. He never thought it would happen, but he clearly remembered it all. He hs float himself in it, and before he could control himself and stop, it was already too late. He bowed his head as the wave of guilt washed over him. They had crossed a line that they shouldn't have, and now he was filled with sha
The dark room exactly foretold what their mission was. The men in the room were patiently waiting. Their boss had informed them that they were going to wait for a little while before they carried their plans into motion,and they patiently waited but one could tell that their patience was running thin. He said he had gotten another message from his informant, yet the message hadn't even been delivered to them. Just soon after, they heard a series of footsteps approaching the room. Every man straightened himself and waited. The door opened and their employer walked in, before walking straight to sit at the head of the table. The others watched as he took out a cigar and lit it. He took a puff before one of them questioned him. "Is this mission still going to hold, boss?" The gruff, deep voice questioned. He cleared his throat before he continued, nobody could read the expression on his face. "Of course. I was about to tell you about our new development. I'm happy you guys are alread
Chloe's reflexes at this point were very fast. She did what the men couldn't have expected at that moment, especially with how freaked out she was when she saw them. In a trice, she jumped back into the room and slammed the door shut. Thankfully, the door had an automatic lock so the men couldn't open it even as they budged at the door, hoping it would open. Crashing on the floor, her breathing got so intense that Cage who had been startled by the sudden bang felt true fear for a very long time. "What the fuck was that?" He questioned, looking so distraught and immensely shaken. Chloe was still on the floor, trembling like a leaf in the gale while still staring at the door. He followed her line of sight and looked at the door, which made him conclude that she might have seen something dangerous. His brows immediately came together as a chill found its way down his spine. "Talk to me." He whispered, but Chloe was still adamant and so scared. She was still trembling. Unable to wait
The bandits wasted no more time before they started to creep in slowly. They moved like shadows as they started to surround the house, just to make sure that Cage or Chloe found a way out. Only two of them were stationed at the door now, and they were trying their best to get the door down and enter before the police or any security agency was alerted. The fact fact they had cut off the network service was a very good sign that they were getting somewhere. They moved around with purpose and their leader, who was getting fed up, spoke into the walkie-talkie he had been carrying. He was somewhere on the other side of the building, patiently waiting for his men to bring him good news but he hadn't got any and it was getting on his nerves. Cage and Chloe were still struck where they were standing, as they listened to know if the bandits were still outside. They hadn't heard a thing for some time and were starting to suspect that help had come and the men had been chased out, but Cage s
