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 44 At the Wilsons Mansion. Richard Wilson’s office. Although he just lost his great grandfather, but that doesn’t bother him as much as the fact that he hasn’t gotten anything on the man that stepped on his dignity at the party organized for marrying Lorraine out of the family. He need to make him pay for what he did.His father had forbade him from doing or trying anything at all, but still he went behind his back and wanted to teach him a lesson but nothing about that man has he found out yet. Nothing about his background has he know or learned about. Apart from knowing that he’s the man that disgraced him and stepped on the power his last name holds; as if the Wilsons are not known as the most powerful in EastHill. Rumor has it that Lorraine is now married, but his busy life trying to track down the man that fueled his need for revenge gave him no chance to know the wretched man that got a ring on her finger. Although, she was quite a sight to behold when last he saw he
Chapter 45Lorraine and Faye were at the clothing section inside the mall, picking different dresses out and trying them out to see how good it looks on them.“Bitch eyes on me, how do I look in this? Sexy or beautiful? I wantttt sexy. Oh gosh I think I would be buying this whether or not it looks fitted.” Faye came out of the changing room turning around for Lorraine to inspect the dress, her body really rocked the gorgeous red gown clothed with shiny stones as designs all over the gown, it hung perfectly around her slimy curves and stopped right above her knees, her left hand held it at the back to stop it flaying open her naked spine as she can’t zip it herself. She looks really beautiful in the dress. “Oh wow, this is beautiful.” Lorraine complimented with her eyes roaming round the dress, taking in the designing features and how beautiful it appears. “I think this would look good on me don’t you think?” Lorraine held up another black shiny dress that flowed graciously to the gro
Chapter 46“Is he gone?” Faye came out of the changing room to see Lorraine alone and back to picking out dresses.“Were you making out in there? Since, he’s gone.” Lorraine answered, glancing at her before returning her eyes back to the dress she’s currently checking out. “He has changed a lot, I didn’t even recognize him. He looks so manly and mature now and of course cuter than before. And wow, I have totally forgot that he came from the Wilsons, if we marry now then I won’t bother about studying and creating my own organization anymore….” Faye kept talking as she made her way to sit on one of the chairs, still conversing with her head. “Apparently, the patriarch of the family was killed recently on his birthday, which wasn’t it yesterday or something,” Lorraine paused, trying to remember, “Nah I have forgotten when, he told me but I have or maybe he didn’t. He said he came for his funeral.” Lorraine told her, “And Isn’t it nice to have your crush from teenage hood back in your a
Chapter 47Avon was still in his office busied with some works on his computer as he planned restlessly on how to get his father’s business back from those enemies that took it from him. He was learning all that there’s to know about the companies.Apart from the Caston Group that his father head as their Founder and overall CEO, he also had two different successful company in the city owned and head by him.After he was killed, all of his assets and vital belongings were now transferred to the Wilson, aside that he had drugged William to collect his ownership files over his two companies from him and get also get him to sign him as the new owner.Then it clicked for Avon.He would be using the same method they used for his father. He knows what to do, he won’t be spiking their drinking and getting them to sign the documents back to his name in an intoxicated sense, they would do it in their right state of mind. Else if they refuse or try fighting back. He would give to them what th
Chapter 48Evening has taken over the sky already and it dark rays blooms over the earth with stars doing it beauty to the sky. And Avon, who was still at the rooftop has covered up most of the pages on the book given to him. Apart from feeling a whole lot different. He could feel the energy within him surge with great power as they radiate its immensity through his system, the rhythmic flow causing random jumps in his breathing with small small coughs falling out as a result. He was very certain that like this, nothing would stop him from bringing justice to his family’s murderer. He felt stronger than ever, felt so powerful. He stood up from his crossed position, the stance of his legs foggy as they’ve been crossed for a long time now. He went to the door balancing his steps and pulling the door open, he went down the stairs and through the hallway that leads to his room. Upon opening the door his wife was standing right in front of him also about to open the door.“Avon? Where
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.
