Chapter 91“Tell her what?” Faye and Oscar looked over to the voice intruding the scene. Charlotte walked further into the room. “Tell her what? What are you telling and who are you telling?” She asked as she came close to where they are.“Nothing, no one. Aunt what are you doing here?” Faye answered, pulling away from Oscar and getting on her feet as she readjusted herself, including wiping the tears stain on her eyes that wasn’t that noticeable until a close look is given.“Oh me. I’m looking for your father.” Her eyes darted to Oscar after the response. “Where is grandfather? I told you awhile ago about the people asking for him, then plead for you to go help me get him downstairs, which you agreed to, now where is he?” Charlotte stood with her hands on her wrist as she spoke to Oscar in a vexed tone. “I’m sorry. I will go get him how.” Oscar apologized in a quiet voice, standing up and exiting their midst.This shocked Charlotte, the Oscar she knows won’t just apologize like th
Chapter 92“Stop freaking out darling, there’s no issue.” Frank assured Kory who was beside him freaking out for the umpteenth time. “You don’t get it. That is Lorraine’s mom, Lorraine was gonna introduce me to her because like I said, turns out they’re family and she was gonna introduce me to her. Now my identity with her is stained because she caught me doing that in a restroom. Gosh I should have hid my face the moment I saw that she’s the one.” Kory kept pacing back and forth the room she had entered with Frank. Frank said he secured the room for the both of them by paying one of the Hales.“Kory we came to this room to fuck, stop getting troubled by useless things and come pleasure daddy.” Frank rasped out in frustration, he literally had a hard on and was waiting for her to calm down so they can finish the job that was half done in the restroom. “Yeah all daddy knows about is my pussy and pleasure. I will try to go see what I can do about this, wank yourself because until I’m
Chapter 93He let out a personal laugh that came out strange and sinister. Then he stooped pushing his lips out in utterance of a statement. “No more play. Call your husband or your grandfather here dies.Lorraine was now helpless. With a shaky hand hand she brought the phone out. “Come closer so I can be sure it’s him you’re calling. And trust me, I know who your husband is, if you call the wrong person to come here, you’ll lose both the person, your grandfather and still lose your husband.” He said to her, wiggling the gun he had with him for Lorraine to come closer. Lorraine breathed out in a stiff manner, lifting her chin up as she dragged her steps closer to him. He smirked at her the moment she was closer to the point he can see what she’s operating on her phone. “Good nice beautiful lady. Now go on and do what I ask.” He urged her now pointing the gun back at Lennox. Lorraine’s eyes searched around, she doesn’t want to be helpless, she can’t just call her husband to come di
Chapter 94Faye worked her jaw, speechless on her thoughts to express what she read. She reread the message and Charlotte gave her a quizzical wondering why she has her attention totally diverted to her phone all of a sudden. “You said this money was brought here by your father and uncles right?” Charlotte asked, calling for her attention, still staring at the sparkling wads of cash stuck neatly in her drawer. “Aunt. I think something is going on, I will be back.” Faye announced before hurrying out of the room. Charlotte stood there, picking out a bundle out of the stacks and checking them out, they’re brand new and actually not fake or anything. Wait. Her memory jolted to yesterday, she remembered walking pass Lennox’s office and overheard him conversing with a worker from the bank, he was asking for some cash to be delivered to him because he was short currently on that. And when she went to deliver to the his medicinal tea he asked for her to brewed, she had saw a cooperative
Chapter 95Faye ran speedily through the hallway, jumping down the stairs and not minding she is on heels. She made it to the hall, and began looking around searching for Avon while walking in further in the crowd.She could only imagine what’s going on right now inside Grandfather’s office and why Lorraine would send her an emergency message that hinted on the danger she’s in. What trouble could she find herself in. Faye only kept her eyes out for Avon, narrowing through the crowds for any figures she knows that looks exactly like Avon. She even said for her to bring securities, that only means she’s in serious trouble. She pondered on what situation Lorraine could be in and try not to assume the worst is going on with her. If only she has Avon contact on her phone would finding him be easier, she regretted not having his contact and rather have to look for him with her eyes amidst all this people.“Watch it!” Faye barked out angrily in frustration at the male figure that recentl
Chapter 96 Avon and his crew approached the office located right close to the end of the passage they were trotting. Avon approached making sure their steps were silent and closely unnoticeable. Seeing they were close he brought out his phone doing something as he halted himself and his crew.Not long the electricity inside the mansion went off, it was pitch black for some minutes straight and when the light came back on.Avon was already inside the office, with the armies that came with him spread out behind him with their guns loaded and pointed out. All targeting the man that stood behind the door. “You asked for me.” Avon announced, his hard voice barring through the silence that called for the man who still kept a lookout on Avon’s arrival, albeit he was a bit weird out from the light out. He turned at the heard of the voice, his gaze slamming upon Avon’s eyes that send nothing but deadly signals. When Faye told Avon she has an idea, it was pretty crafty judging it came
Chapter 97“You called for me, and here I am. What did you want from me?” Avon’s voice pierced the silence once again, the chills they brought directed to only one man and it’s the man they’ve cornered against the wall of the entrance where he stood.“Uhm….Uhh… I- Uh…” He stuttered with a statement seeming formidable on his lips. “I’m here to kill you but I don’t think I can. Can you please forgive me and let me go.” After much courage, he had said, hiding the stress that clouded his voice but were much expressed on his face.He stared with anticipation, his hands trembling hard against the guns they held, sweats was beginning to brew on his forehead and he look extraordinarily tensed. “You’re here to kill me.” Avon repeated the interesting part, picking on his jaw as he gazed more widely at him. “Yes, and now I’m not. I’m sorry for even thinking I can or for even trying. Please do not end my life, I really have an important date this midnight, I told your wife about it. She knows
Chapter 98Kory had Finn beside him aiding her faltering stance while they both watch Faye fade into distance with Avon beside her. Kory cussed at her inwardly, she badly want to leave this place without Lorraine getting the chance to introduce her to the family like she planned. “Okay let’s go to the car.” Finn placed her arm around his shoulder before scooping her up in a bridal style. “What the fuck, put me down, put me down right now!” Kory protested as she struggled in his arms, fighting to be placed back on her feet.“Why should I, ain’t you my girl- I can carry you like this can’t I?” Finn said, switching statement his words, and ignoring her struggling antics as he kept on going without putting her down. “Finn stop! Just put me down right now! Please I don’t like this!” Kory gave up struggling, pleading out to him in annoyance. “Fine!” Finn placed her down, holding on to her hand instead. The both of them said nothing to each other, silence engulfing their midst afterwa
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.
