Chapter 36 Avon stayed back cause he wanted to called Finn and asked about the mission he gave him, if he has eliminated the goon after Kory’s life so he can be well guaranteed that nothing would hurt Kory when she’s out of his Villa and too where he planned to situate her.He remembered vividly the news he had came to deliver to him awhile ago. Truly he had a grandma but his father never really acknowledged the woman because she’s considered an outcast and even his grandfather also did. The grandma; Elizabeth always believes in extraordinary things that dwells in reality and so it pushes people off away from me, she was out of her family at an early age and she doesn’t care, and after she got married and gave birth to Avon’s father, her husband filed for divorce saying she’s too weird for him too handle. He took Avon’s father along with him, and at that time Elizabeth distance herself from reality and people, founding solace in her mystical work of arts, experiencing things that a
Chapter 37 Finn banged softly on Kory’s door, awaiting her response before going in.“Whoever should come in,” She said from inside, giving Finn the right to open the door and reveal himself to her.“What are you doing here?” Kory questioned immediately she saw who the visitor was. She just doesn’t like Finn, regardless that all he has ever show and give to her is pure care and the will to do more.“To tell you that the man after your life is now killed and would never bother you again.” Her face lit up at the heard of that, “Really?” Excitement clouded her tone as she gaze happily at Finn. “I can’t believe this, I need to thank Avon personally for doing this for me.” She sat up getting off her bed and wanting to go meet Avon.“Actually it was I who killed him, he was busy doing something else and he gave me the job to find him and kill him, I did so you can thank me instead.” Finn said to her, stopping her from making further moves to go meet Avon.“Ooh,” she drawled in a low tone
Chapter 38Warning; this particular scene holds violence and recommended for an 18+ to continue, if you’re an easily triggered reader please skip as it’s necessary and not entirely necessary to the plot. Around 12:58am in the midnight. Avon sat up getting off the bed only in his underwear with Lorraine asleep right under his embrace before he had manage to get up without waking her up, he went to his closet fishing out just a shirt and a trouser to match. He wore the casual pairs before making his way out of the room avoiding to make any noise that might be wake his wife up. He walked directly down the hallway, heading to the basement, down the passage that leads to the facility underground. He made it to the room where the culprit was tied already on a chair with his movements restricted; arms tied around the chair, and same with his legs with silver straps.On a silver plate laid on a desk was different torturing weapons consisting of different knives; that includes the straight
Chapter 39At the Noble House. The morning came by hitting the sky with its brightness and with the sun slowly rising from it shades giving the bright morning a shade of orange mixed with red. Avon yawned tiredly stretching his body widely as he sat up the bed, he looked over at the bed to see his wife still asleep cutely on the bed. A smile appeared on his lips staring at her angelic sleeping face, he leaned closer removing the strands falling over her face before placing a kiss on her forehead.She’s truly a beautiful sight to behold, he thought in his head as he gazed sheepishly at her flawless face, the happiness in him that he was behind this; bringing out her goddess that has been hidden and trampled on by people. The once scarred filled face was now flawless and the most beautiful face in EastHill. Lorraine is quite the beauty now after getting healed by Avon, her oval shaped face were now a piece of perfection with how all were made, her eyebrows carved perfectly over a cu
Chapter 40The main priority now was for the Hales to get in business with The Great Five. Then they won’t have any choice than to accept him as their in law. Avon sat comfortably on his chair right in front of his desk where he had received all there is to know about the Caston Group; the most successful company in whole of EastHill, he had known all there’s to know and about the chairman, they’re also part of his family’s murderer as they were part of The Great Five families, he brought out his phone dialing a certain number; one of his other assistant, although Finn is the most trusted and the one he is most close to. However, Finn was away else he would be the one he’s calling. “Bring me the chairman of the Caston Group.” It’s an easy task for him to do, it’s one of the privileges that comes with being the Dragon General and the most feared in the city. He had sent Finn away to get Kory settled down in her new home, and Lorraine and her cousin went out to do some shoppings as th
Chapter 41 Avon fumbled with his thoughts, and looking down at the elder woman hugging her with him unable to return it with a slightly bemused expression on his face as though what’s happening before him is a foreign dream that’s nowhere near reality. Elizabeth finally pulled away, looking into his wry amusement filled face, she smiled as she cupped his cheeks softly, tipping on her toes as Avon is a really tall man.“Come now my dear son, we have so much to discuss about.” She took his wrist as she dragged him to sit back down on the couch. The guard standing with them took it as a cue as he stepped backwards clearing himself out of the vicinity. “Are you okay?” Elizabeth asked, seeing how speechless her grandson had become ever since she met him, he stared at her with his face paled of expression and taking in more of what’s happening. “Yes, yes, yes.” He finally replied, blinking his eyes rapidly as he made way back to existent. He adjusted when on the side of the couch he wa
Chapter 42 Avon and his grandmother were back at his Villa, where he had changed his wetted clothes with rain to a new dry ones, he sat on the couch at the foyer with Elizabeth as they settled to discuss.“You know I always come to check up on you and your father without his knowledge or anyone, just secretly to know how you all are doing,” She started, smiling as she paused to look down at her palms and back up while sniffing and not wanting to get emotional. “I’m a woman of mystical arts, I have lived and dwell in those magical arts for many long years to be able to do things that are unimaginable. I had foreseen a danger upon your father and his family, and I knew if I warned him or tried to tell him that he would freaked out and might never give me the chance I wanted with him as his thought on who I am is made to be a wicked witch; the chance of which I later never got even, I proceed to making that bracelet on your wrist instead,” a second break was taken by her as she pointed
Chapter 43 At the Hales’ Villa. Lennox got off the call after speaking with an associate who called him from the Caston’s office, they had just offered him a deal that worth about fifty million dollars and signing an agreement that would strengthen their partnership, and widened their influence in the city.It was beyond a good news to end the day, this is a big hit for the Hales company and family, and finally his dreams of his family making it big were true.And now during the private jubilation he was doing in his office he remembered Avon’s words to him the other dinner he invited him to, when he had promise him that he would get him in business with whoever he wants. And in his ears all he ever wanted was to be in cohort working with the Castons, not only would that brought his family fame and more success of other companies offering deals to them, but also they would get closer to The Great Five. He still have one unmarried son, one unmarried granddaughter who would soon finis
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.
