Jason waited patiently, his eyes fixed on the door. He could hear the faint sounds of Scar's men moving around outside, but he knew they would eventually settle in for the night. He had to wait for the perfect moment to make his move.As the hours ticked by, the sounds outside grew fainter, until finally, there was complete silence. Jason presumed that everyone was fast asleep, and he knew it was time to act.It was time to do something stupid that would piss Scar off but then he was never one to follow the rules.He summoned the courage to push himself off the ground.His body aching from the beating he had taken earlier. He rubbed his sore muscles, trying to loosen them up. He knew he had to be quick and quiet if he was going to make it out of there alive.Jason took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves. He inserted the key into the lock and turned it, his heart pounding in his chest. The lock clicked open, and Jason slowly pushed the door open, his eyes scanning the hallwa
"What's a little harm in trying besides you are a pretty lady." He smirked amidst the pain. "Don't push your luck. You're going to need it." She replied. Jason could see traces of her pupils darkened and she seemed somehow scary. He turns his face sideways taking in his battered appearance. "I told you that you were going to face the consequences of your actions if you decide to be stubborn. You're in his world.""I never knew you cared for me, love," Jason said. "Care," she scoffed "hardly." She rolled her eyes. "You have nice skin, it will be a shame to ruin it." She released his chin and stood up, her eyes never leaving his face. Jason rubbed his sore chin, his eyes fixed on her."Well, are you going to take me to Scar or do I have to find my way?" he asked, his voice laced with sarcasm."You're not that smart enough to find your way."The woman smiled, her eyes glinting with amusement. "Oh, I'll take you to Scar. He's waiting for you."She stood up straight then she extend
Erica opens her eyes and is glad to see Sullivan by her side. She reached out to stroke his hair gently. She didn't like the fact that he was still but being sick made her spend time with her husband. Since they got married they barely had time for each other. They were always trying to push through one obstacle or the other.They never even had a time when they just go out to the beach and enjoy the warmth of the sun.Or go for a picnic date.These were things normal couples do but they didn't because she was married to the most wanted man in the city.He wasn't bad he just had lots of enemies that would do anything just to hurt him.But she wasn't going to let them live their lives in fear.The more thought about it, she knew the days when they were going to be without enemies were never going to end.So why live in fear?She was going to make sure that they didn't miss out on their lives before they started having children.She was already ready but she didn't know how Sullivan
"I don't think that would be necessary. She is good at what she does." Erica said."She's just young that's all so don't fire her and besides she always cast with a premium gist." "As long as my wife permits it then I'm good." He said. Sullivan smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Well, my love, it seems like Maria has outdone herself this time," he said, his voice low and husky, gesturing to the spread of food before them.Erica nodded, her eyes shining with agreement. "Yes, everything looks delicious," she said, her voice soft, picking up a fork to take a bite of her eggs.Sullivan chuckled, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "I'm glad you're enjoying it, my love. I think Maria's cooking is one of the highlights of our day," he said, his voice teasing, taking a bite of his toast.Erica laughed, her eyes laughing. "Well, I think you're enjoying it a bit too much, Sullivan," she said, her voice playful, nudging him with her elbow.Sullivan grinned, his eyes never leaving he
"Are we going somewhere?" Erica asked, staring at her husband with suspicion. "You're not trying to sell me off are you?" She added. What on earth was wrong with this woman, he said to himself. "Why would such a thought even come across your mind? I can be a monster to other people but never with you." He said. "Alright fine " Erica rolled her eyes. Erica raised an eyebrow, her eyes still sparkling with suspicion. "Then what's going on? You're being so secretive and mysterious," she said, her voice playful.Sullivan chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "You're just going to have to trust me, my love," he said in a husky voice. "But I promise you, it's going to be worth it."Her mind began to race with many possibilities.What was he up to?If she had magical powers she wouldn't hesitate to scan his brain and get the answers she was looking for.She felt like driving her fist into his stomach and giving him a hard punch till he had no secrets left to keep.Erica huffed,
Erica followed his gaze and her eyes widened as she saw the dress he had chosen. "Sullivan, that's...wow," she breathed, her eyes shining with excitement.Sullivan smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I knew you'd like it," he said, his voice confident. "You're going to look stunning in it, my love."Erica's eyes sparkled with delight as Sullivan handed her the dress. She took it from him, her fingers tracing the intricate embroidery. "It's beautiful," she whispered, her voice full of wonder."See I told you I have good taste in clothes, "he said. "I don't think I've ever doubted your skills," Erica said. After they got dressed they stepped outside the room and anyone who laid eyes on them could testify that they were giving the power couple vibe. Sullivan was dressed in a nice tuxedo and had his hair slick backward. John smiled with satisfaction when he saw the General and his wife walking towards him. He was still mad about the way the General spoke to him that day h
Sullivan smiled, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Yes, my love, I have a few more surprises up my sleeve. But first, let me show you around the beach.""Hmm, you want to give me a tour.""Of course, anything for my sweet pea."He took her hand, leading her along the shore. The sand was soft and white, and the waves crashed against the shore in a soothing rhythm. Erica felt the warm sun on her skin, and the salty air filled her lungs. She couldn't help but feel a sense of peace and tranquility wash over her.As they walked, Sullivan pointed out different landmarks and features of the island. He showed her a hidden cove, a coral reef, and a scenic lookout point. Erica was amazed by the beauty of the island, and she couldn't believe that Sullivan had kept it a secret from her for so long.After they walked on the beach, Sullivan led her to a beautiful house that was nestled among the trees. The house was decorated with flowers and balloons, and a sign that read "Welcome lady Eric
Chapter 93Sullivan's eyes blazed with anger when he saw that the person in front of him was Evelyn Kai. Some he once trusted, he almost considered her a friend but now they were worse than enemies.He got up instantly and turned to John for an explanation. "What is she doing here?" Erica asked in shock. All eyes were on Evelyn. Her face was bruised and she was banged up very badly. It was obvious she had been coming from a huge fight. John dragged her hair harshly forcing her to look at the general. Her eyes were filled with tears as she locked eyes with Sullivan. She was ashamed of herself. If she had other options she wouldn't have walked into this den. She wronged him. She betrayed his trust but now she only hopes that he could offer her some help. "Speak!" John clenched his jaws hard. He had always hated Evelyn and if it were up to him, he would have killed her the moment she found her lurking around. He had asked what her purpose was but she opined that the only p
