Chapter 106Moments became antsy and the time went by slower than usual. Two cars races with speed through the lonely city Lanes of EastVille under the night sky.One consisted a broken father driving with river of tears flowing down his eyes as he roughly step on the clutches accelerating in a greater speed to meet his destination. The other was denial, his mouth shivering with a throbbing saline fluttering his eyes as he strive to be sane while driving on the road. Soon both arrived at their destination. Oscar parked his car in a haste, jumping out of the car and running straight inside the big building. Not caring about his tattered appearance he ran to the receptionist. “My daughter, in what room is my daughter admitted to. Faye Hales?” His hand slammed impatiently on the counter’s desk, asking out in a steady voice. “I’m coming let me check.” The receptionist replied, diving her attention straight into the logbook with her fingers trailing down the lining. “Ward 128 on the
Chapter 107 Lorraine felt still and exhausted, slowly her consciousness was back in full. The will for her lashes to flap her vision awake was stiff and all she could see was blinding darkness coming from a restraint veiling over her eyes. She could feel her butt seated on a hard surface with her hands tied behind her. A claustrophobic feeling dawned on her as she tried to scream, but her voice was cloaked from the tape shutting her mouth. Lorraine fell into realization, it dawned heavily on her that she has been kidnapped and she has no idea who. There was nobody she offended or fought with. She struggled against the restraints on her wrists fighting for freedom. The darkness her eyes settled in was not only agitating but triggering. Her mind wandered back to what her brain retailed of her last moment before this happened to her. She remembered walking along the passage with Avon going to the kitchen to get water for her grandfather. Then they showed up all of a sudden and be
Chapter 108Oscar ran through the floor, jogging over the stairs in a flashy pace, sifting his body in avoidance of bumping into nurses or anybody in sight. He ran through the passage, incessantly glancing up at the heading of the rooms he ran by; the ward rooms to be precise, to know when he has gotten to his destination. Suddenly his motion paused, his movement stopped with his head looking away from the heading of a ran and back to facing his front. Same happened to everything else beside him and around him, all movements stopped and some minutes later he was back to running, not knowing what happened to his movement and that he was a statue seconds ago. He finally got to the room, pushing the door open as he ran in uninvited, looking to meet a familiar stranger beside his daughter seated on a chair just beside her. “Faye! Faye! Faye!” Oscar chanted in pure nervousness running straight to her on the bed. Not showing acknowledgment to the present human inside the room. Tears bl
Chapter 109The book floated still right above the mere air, a white shimmering light edging round the edges and from inside the flipping pages. It was flipped constantly to a point, then the old woman dressed in a white regalia that matches her whitish appearance of hair, skin and the rest. Finn stood at a corner with his back leaned on a wall and face keener on the woman’s action, he stared at her watching her every moves of magic that only kept his mind awed and more stunned.Avon was lifeless body was laid on the mat now shed of all of his clothing and now left in his inner boxers with his whole bare body in display. “Mors! Mors!! Mors!!!” The lady called with a lifted chin and her jaw pursed out, facing up and above letting her arms spread wide to embrace more of the coldness filling the room’s energy. “Mortem Oppeto, Mortem oppeto reducete ad me. …” Finn watched as she chanted the words, that brought about an unusual feeling creeping up his body. He felt the hairs on his bo
Chapter 110Lorraine’s head tilted in denial, the words of the man repeating in her head. If she heard well and correct, he asked why Richard Wilson kidnapped her? And if he is indeed her kidnapper, she need not to worry about what she has done to warrant an abduction or to know who she offended. She remembered to the moment they had at the party. It was heated and she recalled his threatening words, he was pretty deadpanned on taking her and seemed determined. This was his idea, she couldn’t help but shiver at the achievement, but the hidden voice reminded her of who her husband is. Not only does he go by the name Avon, but also the Dragon General. With an honorific of The Most Feared Man in EastHills. The approaching guest entered the room in his graceful accord, a dangerous smirk over his lips as he stood by the entryway looking at the tied female figure on the chair. He licked his bottom lip at her distress, coming in further to where she was and stopping right in front of h
Chapter 111Back at The Hales’ Villa.The sound of the gunshot fired three times not only brought about a commotion in the serene gathering of individuals inside the large hall entertaining the ongoing party. They all trooped outside believing an attack was made only to see the most fearful man in the city on the ground lifeless with blood pumping out of his chest. Many stopped taking out their phones, recording the situation before departing from the house.After the useless reviving attempts Finn grabbed his Master pulling him up and calling for help. Charlotte followed but the hastiness at which Finn zoomed out of the vicinity cannot be followed. She watched as the guard turned around while exchanging puzzled glances of sadness as they match away from her. She tipped to motion, following the guards that approached the limousine. They soon took notice of her, and they asked. “Who are you?” In their hard well trained voice.“I’m Charlotte Hales, Lorraine’s mother. Your General’s
Chapter 112Charlotte settled in a daze, thinking back to the time a maid was hired in the Hales’ Villa. She was young and a stunning woman, her most enchanting asset are her eyes, bright blue able to draw any man’s attention. But then it was her own husband that caught her attention, it was her own husband that she wanted not the other men dying to court her despite she’s a maid in a middle class home.All wanted her except for her loyal husband, he showed no sign of interest towards her asset and that only calmed Charlotte’s tensed nerve. She remembered to confronting the maid and telling her to stop throwing shades and advances towards her husband, she was adamant and continued. To stop all of it, Charlotte beseeched Jason into getting her fired and thus leading to her departure from the house. How then did this happen, how did Kory happened to be the daughter of his late husband. There’s nothing Charlotte can do, both in talk are dead and the only remain is the product of th
Chapter 113Her lashes fluttered before it gain steadiness, her obscured vision strived for balance as it roamed through her surrounding.She felt violated and she has no idea why. Her head weighed with heaviness. She tried to adjust to the heaving headache, but the fatigue spread out her system receded the action. Lorraine settled in her environment, seeing she was in a room, it seemed like a basement. She was on the bed and the only furniture inside the room. The room itself was plainly furnished, there was no luxurious setting and everything seemed simple. On the bed where she had sat up from, the action taking a toll on her tired muscles, her hands were still tied with leather wrist belts, and so was her ankles. The light of the room was dimmed, but illuminated a bit of her vision. She don’t know for how long she has been out, but from how she feels, it would be for some hours. The dawn is definitely closing up. Thinking back to how she got there, she was kidnapped by Richard
Chapter 167 Kory stared with confliction, now that he knows who she is. Was he going to rat her out or is there an agenda to why he kept quiet and gave her a subtle look of knowledge. She approached him with slow cautious steps, “Who are you?” Her head tilted slightly, her eyes squinting obliquely at him. “I’m not the Finn you know, I’m the total opposite.” He responded, bored and typically plained. “Then who are-““It doesn’t matter. What matters is joining hands to achieve our aims. Yours is retrieve the divinity surrounding Avon, while I came to claim his soul. That we should works towards and should matter.” He had cut her off, summing up the base of their plans. “You were going to frame Lorraine for the murder of your body right. I definitely can help with that, I will be the witness and use my abilities to manipulate things into supporting this plan. This would create a rift between them, a dispute you would take advantage of him and approach him to meddle with the conflict
Chapter 165 Avon returned to looking for Charlotte and Kory, hurrying with the search after assuming Charlotte succeeded in throwing Kory out of the house since the shouting died down. He felt a different aura around Finn, but could not afford looking into it as he’s busy with stopping Charlotte. He strolled down the stairs, arriving at the mansion’s frontal exit to see nothing but two of his guards standing there on random lookout. Kory and Charlotte were nowhere to be found. Avon moved closer to the guards, minding to question about Kory. “Have any of you seen Kory or Charlotte?” His voice questioned, immediately gaining their attention. Their head fell low in an instant, “No, General. We took post not too long, we have no idea where they could be.” The one of the left lipped a response. Avon sighed turning around and returning back upstairs. His gut kicked in, telling him something strange is going on. He wasn’t certain, but something just doesn’t feel right. While ascendin
Chapter 164Lorraine stood up from the position she was squatted to. Avon already went after Charlotte like he said. He could hear Kory’s voice shouting meters away and Charlotte trying to shut her up. “You’re not getting away with this, whatever it is that you just did to me. Give me back my body you piece of a useless shit!” She heard Kory’s voice yelling at Charlotte. “Fine bitch.” Charlotte said and that was the end of their shouting. Avon hastened his footsteps rushing to the direction he heard then shouting from only to see they were gone. Still looking around for them his eyes landed on Finn who creeped out from nowhere standing behind him. Avon almost jerked, “Finn.” He called a little weird out by his sudden appearance. “Where were you? How did you? It doesn’t matter, when you did you come back?” Avon took some steps backwards before inquiring. Finn smirked, a dark edgy one that has Avon squinting his gaze at him. “I came in not too long, I was looking for you.” He r
Chapter 164Faye walked in on the strange man rummaging for God knows what in her grandfather’s drawer. “Who are you and what are you looking for?” She asked, announcing her presence with her gaze sizing the man up trying to read his appearance. The man looked up from where he was, becoming aware of Faye’s presence as he brought up his hand that held a gun in it. Corking the object he pointed it straight at her head. “Hands up bitch!” He instructed, his finger tugging close to the trigger. Faye exclaimed with her expression as her lips parted in shock. Molten saliva liquid gulped down her throat as she slowly obliged to the man’s instruction. “You’re not gonna scream and you’re gonna come in further.” He beckoned with the gun, Faye had no choice than to step in further approaching him where he stood. “What is your name beautiful? Perhaps you can lead me to who I’m suppose to kill. I’m here for Charlotte Hales, and Oscar Hales.” Faye kept her ears attentive, arriving at the fron

Chapter 162Avon and Lorraine left the kitchen to go check on Kory to see if she’s packing her things and leaving like they wanted. Arriving at the hallway they met Oscar who had on a forlorn expression and seated on the floor with his back rested on the wall. Lorraine signaled for Avon to go on and check without him while she approached Oscar to ask what was going on with him. His daughter is now fine, she’s very sure of it because it was her husband who healed her and made sure of that. So she wondered in her head on what could have brought him back to expressing quite a wide shade of sadness on his face. Avon didn’t went on like Lorraine had say, instead took a spot and stood there waiting for her.Lorraine got to Oscar as she stooped to his position. “Uncle what’s wrong?” She asked in a tone laced with empathy. Her palm reaching out to soothe his shoulder with some pats. “Nothing is going to happen to Faye again, she’s really fine now. Don’t bother yourself much about her, s
Chapter 161Faye arrived at the Hales’ Villa going straight in search of her uncles. Oblivious to the situation that Royce is admitted and Vance is dead. The house was uncannily empty with counted souls moving around scantily. She went up to Royce’s room, it was empty and he wasn’t inside, the same thing when he arrived at Vance’s room. She wondered where the both went to. Faye came out of Vance’s room going straight to Lennox’s room, he also wasn’t in his room. Seeing no one to question about the solitude of the house, she retreated going back downstairs where she would come across some maids to question about where everyone is. Arriving back downstairs and walking past the lobby that leads to the kitchen, the big door opened with a familiar face coming inside. She was on a wheelchair with a man behind her, the familiar face belonging to Abigail. “Oh hey Faye, what are you doing here?” She asked the moment both gazes landed on each other. It was hazy in Faye’s head, the perple
Continuation from the last episode. “Yeah.” He concurred standing up so both could be on their way to Royce. “But what if he is not the one? What if it is somebody else?” He asked keeping his eyes on his face as both turned around to walk down the passage that leads to their uncle’s room. “Who else could it be? They’ve planned to kill him, and if anything doesn’t lead to his suspicion it was yesterday at the same party when he announced himself as the Dragon General. That speech he gave simply said he is not the one to take things lightly. My father and his uncles came for him so he decide to take them out. That’s just my theory though, we should wait and hear from Uncle Royce what actually happened in that room. I also notice something strange.” Aiden was left curious hearing the last sentence of his words. “What did you notice?” He asked with his brows furrowed. “You know I told the maids not to clean up Dad’s murder scene, it wasn’t to call the cops but it was for me to inspec
Chapter 158Aidan brought down the phone from his ear ending the call with Oscar. He had called to phone him about his father’s death when he made a new discovery. Aidan went back to the room where his brother was, he tapped on his shoulder the moment he got to him calling for his attention. His head was buried in his knees as he sobbed quietly sitting on the chair. Grandfather was laid still on the bed with his eyes concealed under his lashes. “We need to talk.” His said, stretching out a palm for him to grab. “What is it? Look I’m very much okay with myself crying like this, I don’t need your stupid concern or console-““Shut the fuck up and come with me. This is more important than the stupid tears you’re shedding.” Aidan leaned grabbing his wrist anyways and pulling him on to his feet, he dragged the both of them out of the room.He took them to the passage where a bench was available as he sat the both of them down on it.“I really don’t think dad was murdered by an assassin.
