"You should compliment his rare medicals skills that just saved your life." Karina added."I already did when I offered to find the herbs he requested for and gave him a restaurant as a time of appreciation." Berlin shrugged his shoulders and tue5to Michael. "Care to tell me what you just gave me?" He asked trickishly wanting to know the herb because he had an idea up his sleeves."It's rare and you ate the last one I had." Michael answered not wanting to go into details as though he knew what Berlin was up to."We can do business with this you know, so why didn't you tell me what the name is." Berlin questioned, no doubt showing that he was a business man who would sell anything to get theineybin the baf6bit Michael wasn't at all moved by the idea of making money, Berlin on the other hand wasn't going to give up om finding it asbje was a big time medical tycoon and would take any advantage he has.He knew just how precious that medicine was and if he could plant it then he would be a
Michael was walking out of the room on his way to use the men's room when he bumped into them, they stared at him and their expressions were a mix of disappointment and anger."What the hell is someone the likes of you doing here?" Alice spat in resentment while gazing at Michael."He's probably a cleaner or something." Emily mocked. "What makes you think I can't come here to eat?" Michael frowned at their foolishness and said nothing"Well you're broke and a leech, how can you afford to pay millions to eat when you don't even have a job." Amelia rolled her eyes."Fling that bastard away, who knows maybe he must have sneaked in the heart by chance, he could steal wallets," Alice told The waiter and turned to her family.n"I hope he hasn't snatched yours yet." She added wanting to infuriate Michael but he still had a calm demeanor."Tell me then how you can afford d this place." Emily mocked staring at him straight in the eyes. "Let me be nice and tell you that this place isn't for the l
"What do you mean he's the owner of this place, do you have any idea what you're saying?"Alice slammed at the manager "He indeed is the owner of this place ma'am so please be respectful." The manager confirmed."I'm pretty sure he must have leeched I'm some woman to get this place, how disgusting." Emily insulted but Michael remained silent."I think you're bluffing because there's no way a penniless man like him can afford this place." Alice rolled her eyes trying to on Michael which irritated the manager."If you dare to speak demeaning things to him again, I'm afraid you will have to leave this premises." He threatened them. Earlier Berlin had handed over ownership of the restaurant to Michael as part of a deal they had earlier and the manager was there to witness it all in the private room, so no doubt Michael was the true owner.They all stared in disbelief wondering how that could happen. "Do you want me to kick them out, sir?" The manager I quoted from Michael who had remained
"I'm still overwhelmed but the fact that he owns the place, it still chills me how he has no shame but to constantly rely on women, how irritating." Alice rants on while they are eating."I know right?" Emily swallows her food angrily"If not for Miss Karina's recommendations, I believe he wouldn't be able to climb so high, such a person could never appreciate what was done for him." Alice continues to rant."Thank goodness Liam is back and saved us the trouble earlier," Emily says smiling at him, he turns his head at her and smiles back."It's nothing." Liam shrugs his shoulders taking a sip of his drink."If I ly you hadn't traveled back then, you would have been married to my sister and we would have been one happy family." Emily smiled dreamily at the thought of it."He would have been the perfect son-in-law I solely wished for." Alice smiled at him.Lucy was uncomfortable about their discussions and coughed silently hoping they would stop enjoying their meals. She was still occup
"What are you doing here?" Lucy stared at him with a frown on her lips."Saving you obviously." He pointed out while making his way towards her. "That drink is drugged," Michael explained to her and she stared back at him with a confused expression on her face."What do you mean drugged?" Her eyes danced between Michael and Liam. "How do you know that?" She inquired staring at him with a frown, was he here to come up with baseless rumors so that her relationship with Liam may be severed?"My manager just reported the incident to me that thud man over here had drugged your drink in your absence," Michael explained to Lucy who was dumbfounded, she had just left a minute ago and there was no way Liam could do this "You blatant liar, how dare you lie about such a thing?" Liam glared at Michael."Would you rather believe me or a stranger who's trying to hurt you?" Michael questioned Lucy, there was no reason for her to doubt Liam who was from a noble family and didn't have a fallout in ch
Michael was so speechless and hurt by her words that he didn't know how to respond and just gazed at her. He had thought their relationship had improved because of the numerous times he had helped her but he was wrong to have thought that. He was the only one who felt that way.Seeimgnrjr way Michael looked Lucy felt a pang of guilt about ranting about what she didn't mean but she couldn't 5ake them back. Michael stared in disappointment as a dry smile formed across his lips staring at Lucy."I apologize for what happened earlier." Je sighed. "I also want to apologize for thinking we could take things right again but I guess I was wrong and it was all one-sided because you still had feelings for him and I was only a hindrance." He shrugged his shoulders gazing at her trying to put a check on his feelings, refusing to fool around again.Looking at the wine on the table he ought to have known that they were deed lovers and Lucy wanted Liam to make love to her. "This was what you wanted
The next morning Michael met Karina at her house because according to the note she had received from the abductors, she had to bring Michael. For her to get her sister back."Sorry, you had to be dragged into all of this." Karina apologized to him while sipping her cup of coffee."It's fine, I have to be there anyways." Michael shrugged his shoulders noticing another man in the room who looked buffier and intimidating."Oh, meet Klaus…. He's one of the honest fighters in the Rodriguez family." She introduced Klaus who shook his hand with Michael. "Klaus meets Michael, a very close friend of mine.""Heard you were the one who had defeated Rick and Morty sometime ago," Klaus said not at all surprised as Michael had expected."Maybe." Michael shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, this was the last thing he wanted to spend his morning talking about with a total stranger."Don't think too highly of yourself because I had fought them previously and they lost to me." Klaus boasted with a grim
Karina had a displeased look I'm her face that Klaus had acted out of overconfidence "You shouldn't have said anything to intentionally trigger them, remember that we're in their territory and need to thread carefully." Karina told Klaus."There's no need to fear ma'am, non of this unworthy half bred pests can defeat me." Klaus spat out in confidence, flexing his muscles as he gave off a confident look."Are you sure with the terms I have given to you?" Zain questioned her with a smirk on his face as though he had forseem the outcome."I have no problem with it, so let's get I'm with this." She agreed, staring at him with a frown on her lips, uncertain of the outcome, she had fallen into Zain's trap without even knowing it, she had faith in her men that everything would end up going as she had planned on her head."Well to be sure you won't go back on your words, you would need to sign this agreement." Zain explained as one of his men handed over a paper to her, she glanced through t
After leaving the company, and heading back home, Michael received a text message.He took out his phone and read through“Your brothers sold you out, if there is one thing I like more than anything, it would be revenge, you think you can take what belongs to me? Think again, you sicko because I can also do the same.. Do you know that your woman Karina is pregnant with your child? I bet you didn't because why would you leave her to wander around when you know I am out there looking to devour you”Michael could not believe what he saw, until Rasheel sent him a picture with Karina tied to a chair and a lid over her mouth, tears rolling down her eyes.His phone rang, Henry her father was calling.“Father” he answered“It's Karina, she is missing… she said she wanted to take a walk in the garden but we haven't seen her, please, please find her” he muffled.“Father is Mother there?” he asked calmly with his fist clenched, holding back his urge to go over and kill Rasheel and his brother.“
“Father!”“Father!” Edgar yelled as he rushed into his father’s room, angrily, he was fuming.Montreal, who lay on the bed, knew why his son was calling out to him, pretended not to hear him, and outright ignored him.Edgar walked into the room to see his father, on his tablet, ignoring him.“Father! How could you do this to me? After everything that I have done for you! After putting so much effort and energy into doing everything you asked!” Edgar lashed“Father, we are highly disappointed in you, you could have Edgar or me take over your position, why did you give it to that bastard!” Kylen, the second son lashed at his father.“We’ve done so much but you chose the son that caused you so much downfall and forgot about us that stood by your side all these years! How could you!” Edgar lashed again.Montreal ignored them, knowing that he would only say hurtful things to them.“What is going on here? Why are you guys yelling at your father, I did not train you in such a manner!” Louisa
Rasheel got up, ready for the day’s activities, he went to his room, got dressed, and set for the day.“There must be a great occasion today” Lucy muffled as she watched him dressed after a brutal night together. It wasn't like she could ever resist him, He was stronger and always determined each time, having her roughly and making sure there were bruises all over the following morning. Lucy was tired of crying and begging him because each time she begged him, she realized she was just adding gasoline to his fire, making him burn rapidly, pounding her like it was his last time on earth.“Yes, I have a very important board meeting today, wish me luck, honey” He winked at her.Lucy cringed at his madness, if anything, she wished he lost the contract and went broke.Rasheel chuckled, like he could read her like an open book “I know you wish for me to fail, but even if I fail, I am never going to let you go, you are too sweet” He smirkedLucy tightened her grip on her blanket, holding tig
Karina was lost, confused.She gazed at Michael in awe “What is happening, what are you guys talking about?” she raspedMichael’s lips parted as he gazed at Karina, knowing that he never told her much about himself, nothing about his family and where he came from.“Tell Mr Montreal I said I am never coming back to that family! You guys can solve whatever problem you find yourself for all I care!” I sneered“But Sir Michael” Collins muffledMichael glared at him “The next time you call me or bother my wife again, I will have your head delivered back to that family, do you understand?” Michael growled“Yes sir” Colin breathed“Do you understand!” Michael snarled, his eyes darkened as though he was on a rampage, sending shivers down Colin’s spine. He gulped down “Yes sir” he yelled and dashed out of Karina’s office.Michael exhaled, turning to Karina who was waiting for an explanation.“Do you remember when I told you I came from a complicated family and when I told you to trust me and b
Karina stood by the door, watching Lucy’s mother in tears, standing before Michael. She walked up to them “Michael, is everything okay?” she asked, gazing at Alice. “It's Lucy’s mum, she said she has something important to tell me” Michael responded. Karina turned to Michael to give her a listening ear, Michael didn't like the idea of having Alice in his house, he was clearly against it but he knew Karina wouldn't like it if he turned her down so he nodded in agreement to have her inside his house. They sat in the living room while Karina gestured to her maid to help Alice with a glass of water and a glass of juice so Alice could decide for herself which she wanted. As soon as the glass of water got to her table, Alice drank everything all at once. When the juice came, she gulped down again, making Michael disgusted “I am sure you are not here to wine and dine” he sneered at her and instantly Alice composed herself knowing that Michael had every right to be authoritative si
After Karina’s friends are sent somewhere far away till Rasheel forgets about them or when he gets apprehended, Karina goes home to visit her mother.“I just need to spend a day with her,” Karina said to Michael, kissing his hands and swinging them while she hoped he would find it easy to send her off.Michael knew the last time she saw her mother was at the grand dinner they all had as a family and at the event where Henry, her father introduced him to some of his major businessmen so she understood that a daughter would miss her mother and want to spend some time alone with her.He pulled her closer, kissing all over her body “I’ll miss you” He pouted.“It’s just a day” she chuckled, wrapping her arms around him “Even if it's just an hour, I’ll still miss you” he muffled “But I understand you miss your mother so, ensure you spend some quality time with her before I come to pick you up tomorrow,” he said to her and she nodded.Karina got into a cab and was taken down to her mother’s
Rasheel was going crazy, he was losing his mind, “What do you mean she is gone? Gone where!” he lashed, aiming his gun at his guard who stood before him, trembling, beads of sweat plastered on his forehead, his legs wobbling.In his mind, he knew it was his last day on earth.Rasheel’s phone rang, and he pulled it out of his pocket to answer “Speak! It better be worth my time” He sneered, boiling with rage. The guard at the other end of the phone was not sure if telling Rasheel at that time was a good idea but either way, Rasheel would find out so he made up his mind.“Sir, the CCTV guard Miles’s parents malfunctioned but now that it's back..” he paused, trembling in fear, not sure if it was a good idea to yell Rasheel.“What is the matter you son of a gun” Rahseel was still very much pissed about Lara yelled, still clenching the gun like his life depended on it.“Miles’ parents are gone and all our men are dead” He finally blurted“What?” he exclaimed “They are all gone, Sir Rasheel,
Miles drove to the meet-up spot that Michael had sent to him, Sally and Zach were now in the passenger seat although they were still confused by the situation, they kept mute and decided to trust Miles once more.Driving into the compound, Sally saw Karina along with Michael, ready to welcome them but something else caught their eyes, Miles' parents were also there. Sally and Zach turned to each other confused. “What are your parents doing here?” Zach asked.With tears in his eyes, Miles ignored his friends and drove till they were safely in the building, he dashed out of his car, breaking into tears as he ran into his mother’s arms.“I’m sorry…I’m sorry” He cried.His father and Mother held him in their hands, stroking his hair and patting his back with tears in their eyes as well.Karina met Sally and Zach halfway. “I am so sorry guys, I'm sorry it took too long to find you ....I'm sorry” Karina apologized.Sally shook her head and hugged Karina “No it's fine” She muffled “Karina?”
Now it was left to Miles to get his friends out of the mansion without getting the attention of any of the guards that are loyal to Rasheel. Unfortunately for him, Lara had a shoot that morning and could not help him out, even if she was around, she would only make things worse has Rasheel had eyes on her, if you think the recording bracelet is the only thing Rasheel has on Lara and his other people, then you are wrong, that motherfucker also has a tracker and a live GPS installed on their phones, tracking their locations every minute and seconds of the day.Miles took it upon himself to get his friends out since they were only there because of him in the first place, if only..if only he never trusted Rasheel if only he never met Rasheel at all.He snuck past the guards standing at the door and walkway, heading to the room in which his friends were being locked up. As he walked in, he slammed the door.“What the fuck is he doing here!” Zach yelled, grabbing the bars in which he was lo
