Everyone in the darkened room could feel the weight of the mission that they were tasked with. For the past few days they had spent a lot of time meticulously planning to get things done once and for all. The only illumination in the room was coming from a single dimly lit lamp that was placed at a corner of the room, so that any detectors would be noticed but so far they hadn't seen any and their boss reasoned that this was the best time to start the meeting and be done with it. There were three figures huddled around the table, and the grim, Grace looks on their faces mirrored the situation of the room. They were in for business, and there was no form of light-hearted feeling in the air. They were in for business and nothing was going to stop them. They were about to risk their lives for what they believed in, for what they had been waiting for for many decades now. They weren't wrong. Their claim for revenge was just, and this was the time to get it done. Nobody gave them a prob
The night was dark, and so was the intent of the men who were now creeping stealthily towards the person gates. They had successfully evaded the police checkpoint and this was their last chance to get this done. There was no turning back now. It was a do or die affair. Their movements were very well calculated as they continued to move, while making sure they turned around to see if they were being followed or if anybody had detected who they were and what they were here for. They had to be very careful, almost silent, if there was any chance they would pull this off. The last thing they wanted was to be seen because there were a lot of them. The job required a lot of people because there were a lot of officers to take down. And they weren't just any people. They were the best, they were handpicked and were handsomely compensated for the operation. Clad in the dark clothing and mask, they gradually started to approach the station gate. It was a large compound, so there were many othe
"Hey, have you thought about what we should name our baby?" He asked, running his hand across her belly. He was very happy that her cheerful mood hadn't just stopped the day before. She had carried into the new day and the light was slowly coming back to her face. She seemed so happy now and that was the exact thing he wanted. Aside from the fact that she was being taken care of at the moment, he knew damn well that her positive attitude and mood would also help to make her recover faster from her ailment. She chuckled when he said it. She had actually thought about it some time in the past but it was only a fleeting thought. Those were the times when they had a lot to face and therefore had a lot of things to think about. "Oh, I've been thinking about it." She said with another smile. "But I'm not sure yet. What about you?" He cocked his brow to the side and shook his head as he thought about it. "Hmmm, I haven't decided either. But I was thinking maybe something meaningful , you
When Zo's name flashed on his phone screen, Cage took a deep breath before answering the call. He had no idea why Zo would be calling him at a time like this but he suspected immediately that the man wanted to commiserate with him on the loss of Grandpa Richland which he barely thought about now. His mind had been on Chloe since she decided to leave. The past few days had been very hard for him and he was doing his best not to think about her because the thought of her made everything in him weep. He couldn't couldn't help it. "Hey, Zo," he greeted, sounding so sad. The man noticed it right away but didn't ask any questions about it. His job was simple and that was what he was here to do. "Hey, I heard about the death of Mr. Richland. I'm really sorry, man." He said, sounding so sad. Cage was happy that the man had neglected the formal greetings and behaviour now. This wasn't the time for any of that. He was deeply wounded, not by the death but by what she had done. In fact, he h
"What are you doing here?" She asked coldly. He was surprised that she hadn't even greeted him. He wondered the kind of anger she had been holding in ever since and the kind of poisonous words her father might have said to her all those times. "I kept calling but you wouldn't answer, so I came to see you." He said, flashing her a smile despite the situation. He was very happy that he got to see her again. Her father who had been standing there walked out angrily. They waited until he had gone before Chloe motioned the guards to give them space. "Wasn't it clear to you that I didn't want to talk to you. As you can see, I'm fine here. There was no need coming here. Its very pointless and I don't want to see you again. I made that pretty clear to you when I was leaving. I asked you not to call but every moment you keep calling, so I had to change my number." She said passively, even though it hurt him so hard. Well, she didn't care at all and relished the sight of him looking so crest
Cage replied quickly. "What do you mean by the woman I've been seeing? I don't have anything to do with any other person apart from you." He said to her but she laughed. "It's all over the Internet. You tried to deny the slut you've been keeping, but I'm happy some people were there to capture the whole thing. I just can't wait to kick you out of my life. My lawyer has already started to draft out the divorce document and I can't wait to leave you alone. Now I see why everyone hates you. They think you're an angel, I used to think that way too, but now I know that you're nothing other than a snake. And if given a chance, you could do the most unimaginable thing. I'm just shocked because I can't believe that I have allowed myself to be decided by you for such a long time now. I feel so stupid right now, but I guess we all make mistakes." She said, "I'm happy that I'll live to correct mine. Is there anything else you want to talk about?" "That woman was the person I told you about. Sh
It was the next day in the afternoon that the woman decided that it was time to give Chlor a call. As much as she was sceptical of Cage, she knew that there would be a bit of truth in her words and she also didn't want to see their marriage fall apart. She had only been guarded with him the day before because she thought he had come to manipulate her into turning against her own client, which was impossible. She learned, however, after Cage left that he had only come with good intentions. She dialled the number of her boss and put the phone in her ears. Meanwhile at the Richland mansion, Chloe's phone buzzed with an incoming call. She glanced at the screen to see her lawyer's name flashing on the display. She had no idea why her lawyer was calling but she just put the phone to her ears and listened in. "Hi, I hope I am not disturbing you?" He asked with a polite and professional voice. She forced a smile, masking her annoyance while trying to act nice. She had been angry since speak
"Zo, what I'm saying is that we need to gather evidence. Even though we know they're going to lose, we can't afford to just go there without any kind of proof. Let's just take this seriously." Cage said, shaking his head. He knew that the fact her father wasn't going to back down from pursuing the lawsuit meant he had something Cage didn't know yet. He could only wait till the d-day to find out what it had been the whole time. He contained. "We need footage, witness statements that I wasn't there. Thankfully, the hospital will provide all that for me. That alone will kill the whole thing and nip it in the bud." Cage said, sounding so determined despite calling it a small case.Zo replied. "I'm not saying I'm not going to take it seriously or something. I'll get right on it, Cage. We'll clear your name, I promise." He promised with an also determined tone. Cage felt some hope when Zo said those words but he knew that he had a lot to do if this was going to work. Apart from the lawsui
