Sullivan's senses heightened as his father's name reached his ears. So, it seemed that they were indeed involved in the devastating obliteration of his entire family. The weight of this realization bore down on him, fueling his anger and resentment."This was the file that Mr William said was encrypted somehow it was copied into the drive."Erica noticed Sullivan was completely lost when he heard that particular name."Who's James Douglas," Erica asked."He's my father," Sullivan replied, his expression lost in thoughts."It's all just names and I've looked it up every single person on that list is dead .it's like they were wiped off from the face of the earth."Sullivan's determination surged as he yearned to uncover the truth behind the events of those fateful years. His father was a hardworking construction worker employed by the renowned five great families, somehow he was entangled in a mystery that ultimately resulted in a tragic murder. The pieces of the puzzle were waiting t
"I'm glad to see that you're okay." Erica sighed in relief as the nurse did her checkup."Thank you for saving me." Miriam hugged Erica tightly"You saved everyone.""I should thank you, without your help, I don't think I would have been able to do anything.""It's good to see you again, Lady Erica." Penny remarked, leaning on the side of the wall"It's good to see you didn't bail out on us."The two ladies broke from her embrace, and Erica smirked at Penny."I told you I was going to save everyone. Didn't I?""Technically we are still here but not just shackled like prisoners." Penny rolled her eyes."It's just for the moment, the dragon General promises he's going to provide everything needed to make everyone comfortable until he works out a solution.""So we are still prisoners, how are we supposed to just trust him." Penny frowned as she crossed her arms.Erica gives a warm smile, she goes over to meet Penny then she places both hands on the side of her shoulders."Even if you don't
"This is exactly why I called everyone here."When Sullivan noticed their indifferent expression he continued."Mr. William please give us a briefing on the situation it seems everyone here does not understand how dire the situation is and also give us a breakdown of the budget." Sullivan turned to William.Mr. Williams, with a serious expression, stands at the head of the table, using a projector to display images and data. Sullivan and the rest of the alliance team sit around the table, their faces focused. "As you can see, the oil spillage in the West is a catastrophic situation," Mr. Williams said gesturing to the projector screen which displayed a satellite image of the affected area. The factories owned by the five great families have been pumping oil and toxic chemicals into the environment for years, and it's had a devastating impact."Sullivan's gaze was locked on the images, he frowned when he realized it was even worse than the last time he saw it."How bad is it, Mr. Will
"I have something else in mind," Sullivan smirked with a mischievous grin.Sullivan was leaning down to Erica when a knock on the door was heard and it made Sullivan stop in his tracks."Damn John." Sullivan gritted his teeth.Evelyn couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight of Sullivan's expression, giggling loudly."you should go see what he's up to." "I will." Sullivan huffed in frustration.He casually leaned against the side of the door as he opened it."you have a knack for ruining my moments." Sullivan frowned"What do you want.""General, I've been able to find one last and only survivor from the names I found from the drive provided by Mr William." Sullivan's eyes widened in sheer astonishment, causing him to almost lose his balance."What? Are you sure?" "I'm positive, the name of the man we found is Oliver Stone, when he heard about the murder of his comrade he faked his death," John explained."I see, "is there anything else?" Sullivan asked."General, I was
"Who are you?" A voice from behind Sullivan asked harshly.Sullivan tried to turn his gaze but the gun pressed harder against his head."We mean no harm" Evelyn said raising both of her hands in the air when the man pointed another gun at her."What do you want?" The man said."We just came here to see Oliver stone " The man tensed up when he heard the name. He cocked the gun threatening to fire."He's dead so I suggest you leave." The man yelled.Evelyn took in the man's appearance,he had a huge beard covering his face with traces of white hair.She smirked when she realized that he looked exactly like the photo of Oliver stone although now he looks older."You're him aren't you? You are Oliver stone."Oliver was furious when he realized his cover was blown and his identity had been exposed."I have no idea who you are talking about. Who are you?" Oliver asked hurriedly."We are here to ask you what you know about James Douglas ." Sullivan said."How do you know about James, did th
Oliver wrinkled his eyes at the paper in his hands and he gave a small smile."These were the names of all the workers in my construction unit the ones murdered by those monsters.""These people are beyond evil," Evelyn remarked.Oliver glanced at Sullivan who was deep in thought, the young man was troubled."Don't think about it too much. The past is the past you must learn to move forward. One thing I learned from my short lifetime in this city is that good never prevails. I would advise you not to do anything like your father else you will get hurt and lose those you hold dear.""I won't be like my father, I will be better. I know you think good cannot prevail but I don't care, what I want is revenge and I'm going to get it." Sullivan's eyes fired up with rage."These people have been in the dirty game long before you were born what makes you think that you have what it takes to outsmart them?""I may be young but I'm determined. if I don't do anything, I will be a disgrace to my f
Evelyn bites her lips. The only reason she was in this position was because she allowed herself to be swayed by the sweet words of Jason.He promised that if he killed the dragon general they were going to take the credit then the five great families would have no choice but to acknowledge her worth then let her in their circle.After Evelyn's parents died the five great families withdrew their shares from the company.Kai's corporation was going to fall so she made an offer to work for them in exchange they don't withdraw their.As time went on she became ambitious and wanted to have a seat amongst the five great families but she was rejected.Jason's words were so convincing plus she had feelings for him but now after everything went south he tossed her like trash and put the blame on her."Oliver Stone is alive. I saw him with my own eyes. I swear." Evelyn said."If this is some petty game. I can assure you it won't end well." Jason's father said."It isn't. I saw him with my own e
Sullivan wakes up from a nightmare he is really tense but the moment he sees Erica by his side he sighs in relief.He held a smile on his face. This past month has been hectic and he barely even got time to spend with Erica. Since he was down Erica offered to stay by his side.One glance at her and anyone would be able to tell she was stressed out.Sullivan gently leaned in, planting a tender kiss on Erica's forehead while sweeping her hair to the side with a gentle brush of his hand. It was a sweet and affectionate gesture that made her heart flutter.Erica's heart skipped a beat as she jolted awake, her eyes widening in surprise. She found herself locking eyes with Sullivan, his intense gaze sending shivers down her spine. Holding her breath, she realized he was hovering above her, their faces mere inches apart. The tension between them was palpable.She blinks her eyes furiously and tries to look away to calm her beating heart.Sullivan smirks as he lifts her chin so she can look
