Chapter 15

Back at the Hales’s Villa, the same night.

Everyone was at the sitting room, discussing about the party’s outcome, with Grandfather Lennox present and listening to them narrate their situation to him.

“So all of them wanted Lorraine in exchange for a deal with them right?” Lennox asked, in conclusion to all they’ve been saying.

“Yes,” Vance nodded his head positively, answering for them all.

Lennox went quiet, his index lifting up to his chin as he drown himself in his thought, trying to think of a way to solve all this. There’s no way Lorraine could possible get married to four families, so he has to think of another way to get them with him.

Oscar and Royce exchanged glances, before Oscar decided to speak up, “We developed an idea,” he said, having Lennox’s attention with his gaze snapped at him.

“We know pretty well that Lorraine isn’t ready to divorce Avon, that no matter how we try to convince her she’s never going to listen or leave him. However, she can dance t

Avon couldn’t reply her question, after listening to her life story rather than an explanation, he was too shocked to speak. That was too traumatic. He knew that.“I need to go.” She said after much silence, gently getting up from the bed and sliding her feet into the laying slippers. “No!” Avon stood up also, standing in front of her. “I will take you in, I will protect you from him and make sure he get what he deserves for what he did to you. You’ll stay with me from now on, I will help you if only you want my help. I won’t force you, but I will let you know that dying isn’t the option now that you met me.” Avon said to her, sounding as much as assuring he could sound. “Can you tell me your name?” Avon requested. “I’m Kory, Kory Anders.” She answered, in a mild tone while sitting back down. “I promise you Kory, you’ll have a good life now

They’ve never seen her this sassy or arch in nature.“What got into you this morning?” Lennox questioned, disbelief edging out on his voice, and his eyes clouded with amusement. “She looks different.” Oscar said also, looking at Charlotte with the same eyes. “She is different and nothing got into me, except the real me finally surfacing.” Charlotte replied them in a nonchalant manner, her gaze focused on her meal rather than them. “Oh and grandpa!” She called suddenly, looking up at Lennox. Lennox answered, looking at her with the face that says “Go on with what you have to say”, “The three of them are planning to kill Avon behind your back, they believe doing that will make you praise them.” She said, smiling at the end of her statement, and returning her gaze back to her meal. Not caring to see the reactions of those she had just spilled

There on the bench was the three surviving healthy males of the Hales family, seated and having a private discussion that needed no fourth ear on it. “He fired those that were suppose to carry the plan out.” Vance, out of them said in a lamenting tone, his face dropping in exhaustion as he gaped droopily at the rest.“Yes but we must not give up, we won’t be killing that Avon now because he not only refuse to stay away from our daughter, but because his existence ridiculed us today in front of grandpa, and that Charlotte had the gut to disrespect us because of him. They all would lose him for that.” Oscar toned out in a cold voice, gazing at the sunny sky with emotionless eyes as he speak.“Then what are we going to do then? A new plan that nobody knows about and would be easier in executing?” Royce asked, facing Oscar who had spoke with deep hound diddling over his thought. A sinister smirk shot up his face as he teared his gaz

During breakfast at the dining table. “I’m still curious on where you went yesterday during the party, or why the party was held here in your mansion.” Lorraine said, in between chewing a spoonful portion of the meal in front of her. Avon gazed up at her, flashing her a timid smile that wasn’t witnessed by Lorraine, then returning his gaze back to his meal. “Did you know who the Dragon General is? Or are you perhaps one of his relatives? Is there any blood relation between you two. And the said Dragon General never even showed his face throughout the party, did you also know anything about that?” Lorraine babbled excessively. “Darling!” Avon addressed.“You should eat, I have some things to tell you when we’re done.” He said to her, the serenity in his voice like that of the soothing wave of the ocean. . Lorraine glared playfully at him with a pouted lips, before returning her attention back to her meal. She took three more portions before drop

He stood there, unable to come out for confrontation and rather eavesdropping more on their conversation.“What are you saying?” Lennox asked Vance, who had just betray his brother for a reason best known to him. “I’m saying. Oscar and Royce are going behind your back and would still carry out the plan of poisoning Avon’s plate where his dinner would be dished on. I overheard them, that they would still go against your order for us to stay down.” Vance said, demystifying his statement to a more understandable statement for him. Lennox became speechless, looking away from Vance. “See yourself out.” He told him, not sparing him any more glance. Vance turned on his dismissal, walking away from him and out of the office. “Wait!” Lennox called out to him, at the verge of him getting out. He stopped at the heard of that, rest

    Chapter 23 Royce went around the house, looking for Vance till he met him at the terrace, not only him but with his other brother, both engaged in a silent discussion that looks like them whispering to each other. “What are they doing here?” He questioned silently, the question directed more to himself. He merged himself close to the wall, taking countable silent steps beside the wall and moving close to them in attempt to eavesdrop on their conversation.“Is that all you told him? That you saw Royce going behind everyone’s back and still wanting to kill Avon?” Oscar asked, his voice silent and hardly audible, but hearable to Vance and Royce’s ears. “Yes, and where is Royce, shouldn’t he be here, I feel we should have asked him about this before even going ahead with it?” Vance said, looking around in support of his question. “Yeah, I looked everywhere for him to inform him on the change of plans but I didn’t see him. I wonder where he went, whoever that sees him first between th

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

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

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

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

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

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.
