Jason's eyes snapped open, and he sat up with a start, his heart racing.

He saw Scar standing over him, a bucket in hand, and a smirk on his face.

"What the...!" Jason exclaimed, wiping the water from his face.

His eyesight was still a little dim because he just woke up.

"Time to wake up, little cousin," Scar said, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "We have a busy day ahead of us."

"Busy?" Jason said softly trying to process the world around him.

He promised to stay awake but he didn't even know when he slept off.

"Oh don't act so surprised." Scar smiled then he leaned forward with his hand on his knees.

"In this house, you are no longer the young master of the jabs. Let that information sink into your head."

Jason's mind raced as he quickly scrambled out of bed.

His face grew into a frown.

He couldn't believe Scar dared to splash water on him after what had happened the night before.

This man was just trying to give him a slow and painful death.

    "Fuck you." Jason groaned."I wanted to do this the easy way but it seems you prefer it hard," Scar said, then he launched the wipe on Jason's back.*****Sullivan felt the sunlight hit his face, and he popped his eyes open.After his confrontation with his wife, Sullivan stayed up in his study. He didn't know how he was going to face Erica because she was still mad at him. His eyes darted to the desk around him and he noticed it was still piled up with reports from John. His eyes narrowed to the photo in front of him. It was a photo of Jason's grandparents. His mind suddenly raced to what John said the previous night after Erica left. LAST NIGHT "We've got another lead on the shooters, Sullivan. But it's not what you think. It's not someone close, someone we never suspected." John said firmly. Sullivan raced at the possibility of who the person might be.His best guess was Mrs Martin but John was beginning to make him have second thoughts. "It's Jason's mother's grandparents

    "General," John yelled at the lifeless body of Sullivan. John reached forward to touch him and his eyes widened in shock when he felt his temperature and he was burying up. The door to Sullivan's study opened and Lady Erica strode inside. She gasped because this was not what she was expecting. "Lady Erica, thank God you are here," John said in relief. "John what happened, what's wrong with him," Erica asked rushing to him. She grabbed his face turning it sideways. "Sullivan, please answer me." She said almost in tears. "What did you do to him." She broke down. "How could you let this happen." She yelled."Lady Erica, please calm down. We were talking a few minutes ago and he just collapsed " John said. "What were you talking about?" Erica's gaze narrowed.The question took John aback.He was hesitant to speak, unsure how much to reveal. "Just...general things. Nothing that would cause him to collapse like this."Erica's eyes flashed with skepticism, but she turned back to Su

    "What did you just say?" Erica shot him a glance.Sullivan's muscles tensed up. He worriedly turned toward John and Doctor Lee. "Did I say that aloud?" He asked, his voice barely above a whisper.The way they return his gaze with an amused expression just confirms his suspicion."So you're saying I'm weighing you down. That's why you fell ill." Erica frowned."That's not it." Sullivan exhaled.Hypothetically, she was because, after the confrontation they had yesterday, he barely slept.He just kept replaying the scenario in his head till daybreak.Plus the burden of the secret he was keeping was starting to eat him up."Then what is it because I know what I heard.""Humph," Erica frowned turning her face away.Before the bickering starts getting intense Doctor Lee steps in.He cleared his throat so he could get their attention."Ah, General, I think we've gotten a bit off track here," Dr. Lee said, a hint of amusement still in his voice. "Let's focus on getting you rested and recov

    Sullivan's eyes widened in surprise, realizing Erica had locked him in. He tried the door again, but it refused to budge. He let out a frustrated sigh and slumped against the door, feeling trapped.Meanwhile, Erica was leaning by the side of the door chuckling.Just then, he heard Erica's voice outside the door, "I knew you'd try something like that, Sullivan. Don't worry, I'll be back with your food. Just rest and don't try to escape again."Sullivan's face turned red with embarrassment and frustration. He couldn't believe Erica had outsmarted him. He slid down the door and sat on the floor, feeling defeated."I can't believe you locked me in!" Sullivan exclaimed, his voice muffled by the door."I can't believe you tried to escape!" "You need to rest, Sullivan. Don't make me come in there and force you back into bed." Erica replied, her voice firm but amused. "Fine. But can you at least make it quickly?" Sullivan sighed, knowing he was beaten. I'm starving." He said in a tone.

    Erica's face turned bright red as she playfully pushed Sullivan's chest. "God, you are such a perv." she chuckled. "You're still recovering so don't even think about it." She says firmly."You know what would make me recover faster." He smirked."What is it?" She asked.He has a playful smile on his life then his eyes lit up with amusement."Fucking you from behind then hearing moan my name begging me for more." "Christ! Sullivan where did you learn such words from." Erica laughed."I'm just expressing what I want." He shrugged."How would sex make you recover faster." She asked.Sullivan smirked then he placed a hand over his eyes."You have no idea." He said."That is absurd" Erica laughed and shook her head. "You're something else. You're still recovering from a serious injury and all you can think about is sex."Sullivan chuckled and pulled his hand away from his eyes.He pulled her closer to himself then he stared into her eyes.

    "If I tell you now, where is the fun in it?" Jason watched Scar with a stern gaze as he moved closer to me.He spun around with his back pressed on the table.Scar narrowed his eyes, with a smirk.He grabbed Jason's chin, tilting his head to the side."Such a fine face, it will be a shame to ruin it because of your stubbornness."He pressed on the sore close to his lips and Jason's eyes reddened with pain but he refused to show it.He didn't want to give Scar any more reason to gloat in his sorrow.Scar took his hands and then placed a balm on it."This should help with the pain." He said.He pushed his hands into his pocket before he strode out of the room.Jason stared at the palm of his hands with confusion.Didn't Scar want him dead, he thought?After applying the balm to his wound he felt incredibly tired and hungry so he decided to sleep.He hoped when he woke up, it was all a nightmare.Jason felt a hand and shook his body slightly.He flickered his eyes open to see a lady wit

    Scar chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "You see, Jason, I've been watching you for a while now. And I must say, I'm impressed. You have spirit. But that spirit will be your downfall if you don't learn to control it." Jason snorted, his eyes rolling in disgust. "And you're the one to teach me, I suppose?" Scar nodded, his smile growing wider. "Yes, I am. You see, Jason, I have a bit of a reputation. For being able to... break people. To make them see things my way." Jason's eyes narrowed, his heart racing with fear. He knew he had to be careful, and had to keep his wits about him. "And what makes you think I need to be broken?" he asked, his voice firm. Scar shrugged, his shoulders rising and falling in a fluid motion. "Oh, I think you do. You see, Jason, you have a bit of a problem with authority. You don't like to be told what to do. And that's a problem because I need you to do something for me." Jason's eyes locked on Scar's, his mind racing with an

    Scar's finger tightened on the trigger, and Jason closed his eyes, preparing for the worst. But instead of a loud bang, there was only silence. Jason's eyes snapped open to see Scar chuckling, a wicked glint in his eye."Gotcha," Scar said, his voice dripping with amusement. "You should see your face. Priceless."Jason's anger boiled over, and he struggled against his restraints. "You son of a...! You're playing with my emotions!"Scar shrugged, his grin growing wider. "Hey, I'm just having a little fun. You're so serious all the time. Lighten up, Jason."Jason's face twisted in rage. "You think this is funny? You think threatening to kill me is funny?""I could have died," Jason yelled."But here you are, standing so strong and sound."Scar's expression turned cold, his eyes glinting with a sinister light. "Oh, I'm not threatening to kill you, Jason. I promise to break you. And I always keep my promises."Jason's heart raced with fear as Scar's men dragged him away, leaving him

    Sullivan's steps were heavy as he trudged back home, his once resolute demeanor now burdened by the weight of the night’s events. The adrenaline that had fueled him through the mission had long since faded, replaced by a hollow emptiness that gnawed at his chest. His uniform, stained with the blood of battle, felt suffocating as he reached the front door of his home. The moment the door creaked open, Evelyn appeared, her face lighting up with relief at the sight of her father. Behind her, Erica emerged, her eyes scanning Sullivan's expression with concern. But as Evelyn took in her father's sullen face, her heart skipped a beat. She looked past him, her brow furrowing in confusion."Where’s John?" Evelyn asked, her voice tinged with worry. Sullivan's eyes met hers, and for a moment, he couldn’t find the words. His silence was all the answer Evelyn needed. "We met some resistance and John used his life to save mine. " Sullivan broke into tears. All things came with a price but t

    Jason's cold smile lingered as he took a step back, his eyes scanning the room, daring anyone to defy him. Mrs. Martin glared at him, her jaw clenched in anger, but she remained silent. The tension in the room was palpable, every breath heavy with unspoken threats and unresolved conflicts. Jason had them all where he wanted—on edge, fearful, and uncertain.Before anyone could muster a response, Jason turned on his heel and strode out of the chamber, his men following closely behind. As the heavy doors slammed shut behind him, the room erupted once more into chaotic whispers and accusations. But their words meant nothing to Jason now. The seeds of discord had been planted, and it was only a matter of time before they bore fruit.*****John approached Sullivan’s study with deliberate steps, his heart racing with the urgency of the situation.

    The room had barely settled into a sense of uneasy calm when the doors to the council's meeting chamber burst open. "Jason has gone wrong and we need to put him down." Mrs.Martin yelled. "You of all people should know that he's not a force to be reckoned with. " Jason's father yelled. "You are no longer the head of this council so don't give oders." Mrs. Martin snapped. "But as a member i have a right to speak." He shot quickly. His face was clenched in anger because he still couldn't believe she did this to him. Ever since he stepped down from his position, his family has not been peaceful plus the death of his grandfather made his wife on a rampage. "Speak when you are needed."She shunned then she turned her gaze to the council. "We need to deal with Jason before he destroys the city and everything in it. " She said firmly.

    Sullivan managed a weak smile, though it did little to mask the turmoil within him. "I feel like it too," he admitted, running a hand through his disheveled hair."Did you even get any sleep."Sullivan turned his eyes lazily at john. "What do you think?""Right." John remarked as he gave a nod. John moved to the counter, pouring himself a cup of coffee before taking a seat across from Sullivan. The silence between them was heavy, laden with unspoken worries and unaddressed fears.After a long sip of his coffee, John finally spoke. "I take it things didn’t go well with Erica?"Sullivan sighed deeply, his shoulders slumping. "No, they didn’t. She’s so hurt, John. I don’t know how to fix this."John nodded thoughtfully, his gaze steady and he sighed before he slouch on the couch. "You’ve always been good at fixing things, Sullivan. But some wounds… some wounds need time, not quick fixes."Sullivan stared into his cup, the steam rising in gentle swirls. "I know that. But I can’t s

    Sullivan’s footsteps echoed hollowly through the grand halls of their home, the weight of the night's events pressing heavily on his shoulders. He had escorted Erica and Evelyn back from the warehouse, but the tension between him and Erica was palpable, a chasm that seemed to widen with each passing second. As soon as they arrived, Erica had avoided his gaze, her body rigid with anger and pain. Sullivan had tried to reach out to her, but she had brushed past him, her eyes cold and distant. Now, he stood outside their bedroom, his heart pounding in his chest.Taking a deep breath, Sullivan pushed the door open and stepped inside. Erica was by the window, her back to him as she stared out into the night. The silence between them was suffocating.“Erica…” Sullivan began, his voice low and tentative.She didn’t turn around. “I don’t want to hear it, Sullivan,” she said, her voice cold and firm.“Please,” he implored, stepping closer. “Just let me explain. I was trying to protect you. I

    Sullivan’s heart pounded as Jason’s voice echoed through the dark, cavernous warehouse. He clenched his fists, every muscle in his body tensed, ready for whatever was to come.“Jason,” Sullivan called out, his voice steady but laced with fury. “Where are they?”A low chuckle reverberated through the space, causing Sullivan’s skin to crawl. He spun around, trying to pinpoint the source of the sound, but the shadows played tricks on his senses. Suddenly, a flicker of light appeared on the far wall, and a hologram of Jason materialized, his cold eyes locking onto Sullivan.“Relax, General,” Jason said with a twisted smile. “They’re alive… for now.”Sullivan took a step forward, his jaw clenched. “I’m not here to play games, Jason. Where are they?”The hologram of Jason tilted his head, amusement flickering in his eyes. “Always so impatient. You know, Sullivan, you should be thanking me. I’ve given you a gift—freedom.”Sullivan narrowed his eyes, his pulse racing. “What are you talking

    Sullivan’s heart skipped a beat as John's words sank in. He stood frozen for a moment, his mind racing to process the information. The unease that had been gnawing at him now turned into full-blown dread."Have you checked everywhere?" Sullivan demanded, his voice sharp with urgency."Have you searched every corner of the house? The garden.""Yes, General," John replied, still catching his breath. "We've searched the entire estate, questioned the staff—no one has seen them since this afternoon. Although I interrogated the maids and they overhead the lady Erica talking about going to a boutique."Sullivan clenched his fists, his mind reeling. Erica and Evelyn wouldn't just disappear. Not without something being wrong. His thoughts quickly turned to Jason. Could this be his move? Was this the beginning of his revenge?"It's going to be her regular. Have you called in to see if they used their cards to pay for any item..""General, they never made their way to the boutique."“Damn it

    Jason sat in his dimly lit office, the heavy silence of the room punctuated only by the ticking of an old clock on the wall. The air was thick with the scent of leather and smoke, mingling with the faint aroma of whiskey from the glass in his hand. He stared down at the liquid, swirling it slowly as he reflected on the event that had brought him here—at the top of the underground empire, feared by those who once looked down on him.With his newfound power and authority, Jason knew he was unstoppable and now it was time to take back everything that was taken from him. He had spent years clawing his way out of the shadows, enduring brutal training, torture, and pain.What made him happiest was that the scar was no more. He always promised to end his life and so he did. He chuckled when he recalled the look of hurt and helplessness on his face. Every step had been a struggle, but now, with power and authority firmly in his grasp, he knew he was unstoppable. It was time to repay th
