"Marriage?" Sullivan asked to be sure if what he heard was correct."Yes, marriage. After what happened to my family I don't trust people at least marriage is an agreement to solidify this Alliance." She said to Sullivan.Evelyn's eyes locked onto Sullivan ,her gaze was very intense"Think of this marriage as a binding contract, it's going to last until we have succeeded in defeating the five great families.""We have to defeat the five great families but marriage is not necessary."Evenly was disappointed but she was quick in her composure and she flashed a smile."Hear me out. To achieve our goal we could share resources , knowledge..."Sullivan held up a hand ,his stern expression."Marriage is not an option for me because I have a wife. If you cannot understand then there's no need for this alliance.""Oh right, you have a wife. You mean the one you sent away, I thought you guys were divorced." Evelyn narrowed her eyes to Sullivan.Sullivan's face darkened as he stared at Evelyn
The sounds, filled the air as the cars were packed at the warehouse.The other party noticed they were losing the fight and they retreated.Some of Sullivan's men rushed in to save William.He was badly injured but thankfully Sullivan and his men arrived on time.The wounds were not life-threatening so after a little medical attention he was relieved from the pain.William was moved into a room in Sullivan's mansion because that was the only place he was safe.He didn't bother to disrupt his recovery process of William by bothering him about the information he had on the five great families.One day Sullivan was in his room when John informed him that William wished to speak to him.He dismissed John after he told him to see William at the study.He was about to leave when he caught a glimpse of the picture of his wife. Weeks had passed and they hadn't even spoken to each other.He would stay up at night, watching videos of all the things she did in her apartment. He had installed CC
"General there's also something you need to know," William said to Sullivan."Go ahead," Sullivan replied."General I saw a folder that was named Lowell I tried to open it but it was encrypted. If I'm not mistaken that folder may be of some use but unfortunately, I was able to unlock it.""Lowell?" Sullivan muttered under his breath.The name sounded familiar but he couldn't exactly remember what it was."If it wasn't important they wouldn't have kept the information encrypted. I'll have my men do their findings on this information, for now, you have to get this wound treated and recuperate. ""Thank you, General."Sullivan ordered John to see the guest off and when they left he sank In his chair and his thoughts began to drift."Lowell, Lowell." Sullivan clicked a tongue tilting his head to a side trying to think harder.He suddenly recalled the first time he heard about Lowell when he was just a kid. The memories flooded his mind, bringing back what happened all those years ago.Lit
Erica stared into the room as usual, weeks had passed and she hadn't heard any words from Sullivan.She had high hopes that he would return but he never came. She knew Sullivan didn't love her but he cared about her. There was no way she was ever going to buy the whole charade he was trying to pull.She knew he cared about her that was why she knew he had good reasons for doing this but the least she wanted was an explanation.She sank onto the bed and sighed."I miss him." She mumbled to herself.A door was heard on the door and Erica turned her gaze towards the direction."Come in," Erica said, holding onto the pillow on the bed."My lady dinner is ready." The maid said to Erica when she walked into the room."I'm on my way down," Erica replied then she dismissed the maid. Erica strode over to the window and looked at the soldiers all busy with their activities.Even though she hates to admit it she was a prisoner but in a good way. She didn't know where she was but she needed to
The van came to a halt and Erica waited for the worst to happen but thankfully she heard the men foot step retreat.She held her ears to the side of the van trying to make out any sound to know if anyone was outside. These people were not friendly and if she was to be discovered her life was going to end immediately.When she realized it was safe outside, she took out the phone but there was no service to even call so she hid the phone.She opened the back of the van trying her best not to make any sound.The cold air sent chills down her spine the moment she stepped outside. Fortunately, it was still dark which means she still had the advantage. She stared at the open space and realized the van was in the garage.She slipped behind the cars trying her best to make sure she was unnoticed. She noticed it was a warehouse, her curiosity perked up when she saw some men stashing up some crates.She hid behind a wall, her gaze fixed on the activities that played before her eyes."What i
After chasing Evelyn from his apartment Sullivan was so angry that he buried his face in his work.He went through all the files John sent about the people who were neglected by the five great families.He ordered John to schedule meetings with some selected few. Even though Evelyn was resourceful, she was unstable and he had the feeling that the alliance was not going to hold up for long.He stared at the window and realized it was dark. He went to the bathroom allowing the warm water to run over his body easing his tension.He was beginning to feel uneasy when he remembered the words Evenly said to him concerning his wife. He stationed more men at Erica's residence and also planned to move her to a new apartment by the end of the week but still, he didn't like the idea that Evenly knew the location of Erica.She was a dangerous woman and he knew it but for now, she was useful. Sullivan turned off the water and stepped into his bathrobe.He turned on the TV to continue his regular e
She felt a hand on her shoulder and she turned abruptly.Erica froze in her steps as she realized she had been caught."What are you doing here." She heard the voice as the man gripped her hair forcing her to turn to his gaze.Erica's eyes widened when she saw the person behind her was the supervisor. She knew that what awaited her now was death.Determination washed over her and with all her might she bit the supervisor's hand when he was a little bit distracted.The supervisor wailed in pain and angrily gave Erica a hot slap.Erica dropped to the ground clenching her fist and with a swift move her kick landed in between the supervisor's leg."Stop there you." The supervisor groans holding up his part as he falls on his knees" Guards one of the prisoners has escaped." He yelled.Erica hadn't run far off when she was surrounded by a group of guards and she knee fighting at this moment was not even an option.She was forced on her knees with her hands tied behind her back.The superv
"I swear, I don't know where she is. Please, you have to believe me. I didn't have anything to do with this," Evelyn choked, desperately gasping for air, her words were filled with sincerity and fear,Sullivan furrowed his brow, then released his grip around Evelyn's neck. He turned to leave, and his men trailed closely behind him, leaving Evelyn shaken but relieved.Evelyn gasped for air, her hand clutching her throat as she struggled to suppress the violent coughs that wracked her body. Just as she thought she couldn't take it anymore, Jason strode forth from the hidden passage."Took you long enough" Evelyn glared at him furiously"How long do I have to keep up with this charade, I really cannot stand the man and his arrogance." Evelyn scoffed."And yet you flirt and even tried to seduce him," Jason replied."It's just for fun and besides he's cute."Evenly replied with a playful wink, giving a mischievous shrug of her shoulders. Jason's eyes blazed with anger as he forcefully gr
