Let me give him a call, I’m pretty sure he won’t hesitate to help.” Alice tells her daughter with a huge smile on her face.“Of course, go ahead, it’s not like we have any other option here.” Lucy shrugged her shoulders and without wasting any more time, Alice pushed up her phone from inside her bag dialing the number in the card.“Hello Mr. Raphael, there is something my daughter would like to discuss with you.” She says and quickly hands over the phone to Lucy before she can refuse.“Hello, seems this is quite important so please feel free to tell me what it is.” A voice resounded from the other end of the line.“I have a little favor to ask of you and hope you can help out.” She replied to him without hesitation.“Sure tell me.” He encouraged her.“I have a… friend who is being held captive by the military and needs you to help free him,” She tells him and for a while, there was a long pause. “Well, it’s okay if you can’t help out.” She says immediately.“Of course I can, tell me h
Michael and Marcus had finally gotten to a restaurant after a long drive back to the city. “Here?” Marcus didn’t seem pleased about the placer.“This place is great when it comes to their drinks, let’s give it a try and rank me later.” Michael urged him.“Sure, you’re never wrong in such judgment,” Marcus said with a convinced tone and made his way inside with Michael, he had a little smile curbed on his lips happy that after a long time, he was finally going to be spending some time with Michael. They took their seat and finally decided to take some wine instead of tea as they talked to one another.“So are you still married? I had heard earlier that you had married and it was such a shame that I hadn’t attended the wedding.” Marcus stated leaning back on the chair as he took a sip of the wine.“I’m divorced,” Michael replied simply without going into more details as he stared at his friend.“That’s splendid news for my sister.” Marcus chuckled as he stared at Michael who arched his
Marcus immediately saw the look on Michael’s face and was puzzled.“Do you know who she is?” He asked taking a glance at Lucy before turning back to Michael, he couldn’t agree more that the woman was indeed pretty but was even more focused on why her appearance here had made Michaek have a sullen look.“She’s my ex-wife.” Michael frowned his lips looking all worked up and grumpy, she had seen him get taken away by the military, and at first, she thought she was concerned and yet here she was with another man on a freaking date.He began to recall all that she had said in the past claiming to love him, he could never accept that her feelings were indeed true.“Would you rather we leave so as. It to create a tense scene?” Marcus suggested.“Of course not! There’s no need for that, after all, we aren’t doing anything bad, are we? Were divorced and don’t have any right to meddle in each other's lives.” Michael says with a nonchalant tone ignoring the pain he feels in his chest, he feels a
Lucy was stunned to see that he was leaving without hesitation, she quickly ran towards him pulling his arm and stopping him from moving any further away from her.“Why would you leave? She frowned at him with a sullen gaze, she could see a little smile at the corner of his lips hit it quickly faded away as quickly as it came.“Don’t you have a friend to be with inside?” He questioned tilting his head to see if Raphael had followed her outside but that wasn’t the case.“Forget about him for now.” She waved her hand staring at Michael with a smile on her lips, loving every bit of the jealousy he was displaying which seemed to be rather fun than his constant unemotional display. “I’ll call him and apologize later.” She shrugged.“Ohhh, is this how love sickness begins?” Marcus snickered beside them.“Oh shut it!” They said in unison making him giggle at their faces that turned red in embarrassment, this seemed to be the first time he had seen Michael look this way at someone he loved.“
Marcus quickly took out his phone nodding at Michael.“Give me a few minutes.” He told him before mailing OK mg a call on his phone, it took him about three phone calls before he could finally get a response regarding the case, ending the call he turned back to look at Michael.“It’s the Claw family.” He responded. “They have a trillion dollars bounty on your head and one of the bounty hunters just made their moves.” “The Claw family?” Michael was furious as his veins thickened building from his skin as he stared at the street angrily, he hadn’t taught them a lesson for what they had done at the military base and now they had the gut to strike again.There was no way he was going to let them Scot free, thru time he was going to put them in their place.“What do you plan to do now?” Marcus asked curiously. “Do you want me to dispatch my men and have the existence of the family wiped out?” Marcus was ready for any line of actions and direction Michael was to give to him, after all an e
“W-wait!” he stuttered trying to take a breath as he stared at his sister's corpse on the floor.“Wait? Do you want me to be patient with you? Delauong your death pjfo be even more painful you know.” Michael sneered at him with a powerful Aiea surrounding him.“Please I beg you not to kill me.” He pleaded ignoring his injuries and knelt on the floor with his body trembling in fear as he gazed at Michael knowing that he was at his mercy and there was nothing he could do about it but plead.“You want time to spare your life and last time you had seemed quite optimistic that you could do away with me, what happened to that all-powerful you?” Michael sneered staring at him with a sullen gaze.“Not at all, I never said that.” He quickly disagreed knowing that it would be stupid of him to claim being powerful in this situation of his.“Do you think that I would still let you be after acting this way, I came here for one thing only, which is to eradicate your family.“Please don’t kill me, a
Zain was so excited as though he was a child who had been given a new toy. “The medicine was no doubt pricey but at least would be nice to be able to do what I need it for.” He told himself with a beaming smile.“Finally he would be okay.” The guard with him was also sharing in his joy as he gazed at the medicine, just then another guard barged in with a worried gaze, gaining both their attention.“What is this disruption?” Zain was fed up with it all as he gazed at the man.“Sir there’s an issue.” The man said in panic as he gazed at Zain with fear in his eyes trying to reason how to relay such a message to him.Tell me what’s wrong.” Zain tells him.“There was a situation at the villa last night and they are all dead.” He blurted out quickly.“What do you mean they are all dead?” Zain was still trying to comprehend the situation.“The guards and fighters along with Miss Kayla and young Sir Claw.” The guard spat while trembling as he couldn’t hold himself back.“What nonsense are you
“What do you think you’re saying? Do you think killing Marcus Claw would be that easy?” Bianca sat up staring at the guard who had come to give her some report, her mind raced as she stared in shock and panic. “Who would have the mind to even carry out such an act?”“The culprit is yet to be found, the entire Claw has been murdered except Mr Zain himself.” The guard answered and Bianca couldn’t help but feel even more bothered about the situation. Normally she would not have cared since both families were business rivals but now that her daughter would be dragged into this because of the previous cases that had risen she could only feel scared for her daughter’s safety.To top it lol, the Claw family also had the backing of the Cauldron groups which was among the top in the country.“This is trouble.” She let out a frustrated sigh as she sipped her tea which was getting cold.“What’s up?” Karina walked into the room dressed in a loose night silky gown yawning tiredly and stretching he
