“What do you want? Ugh?” Zayd tried to put up a front even though he knew he was just a mere pawn in front of Ravenna. The bitch has the higher hand.“Don’t look so frightened dear prince, it will make me look like a bad person…..”She narrowed her eyes to Amir who stood like he was ready to charge at her with one command from his master.“We are partners.” She said with a cunning smile.“I wouldn’t trust a person that would easily betray her father.” Zayd said with a scoff.Ravenna laughed out loud and tuttered while pouting. “I wouldn’t say that, you see.” She feigned a sorry face. “We are not basically partners. If we check the advantage we have over each other, I have the upper hand.” He said as Zayd watched her like a frustrated lion who doesn’t have the privilege to pounce on its prey.“What do you want from me?” Zayd asked after a moment of silence.“Testify against my father.” She said.“What?” Zayd gave an incredulous chuckle.“You don’t what to?” She asked with a frown.“Why
“Why the hell did you call us here?” Antonio asked with a grumpy look as his driver opened the limousine and he walked out in the garage of the jail house as Leonardo stood by his car as if he has been waiting for them. “Not only you. Giuseppe too. Something urgent came up.” Leonardo hissed as he took a quick glance at his wristwatch. “Why the hell is Giuseppe not here? Doesn’t he know what SOS means?” He asked in frustration as Antonio sighed, obviously pissed that Leonardo had called him urgently, making him cut off the good time he was having with his sluts.“Did you bring us here to see Lucian?” He asked again as the impatience on Leonardo face grew even though he was putting on a shade. He has always been the most handsome amongst the three. And the smartest.And you can also add the craziest. He’s not the most sweetest when he is mad.“Yes.” He replied curtly.“Right after his conviction yesterday. Why? We didn’t even attend his trial-““Shut up. Just fucking shut up! Turn the
The metal sound of the cell door unlocking startled Lucian out of his thoughts as he watched the warden walked into the single room he stayed while in the cell. He frowned slightly as the Warden approached him, with two other uniformed men.“Stand.” The warden commanded with a stern look on his face as Lucian stared at him in confusion.He dong normally use that kind of tone with him.“What is it?” Lucian asked as he stood up from the single bed he laid on, as he looked from one person to another suspiciously.“You don’t get to question me in here. This is my territory.” The warden eyed him dangerously as Lucian started to frown. He wanted to question him back but the men at his back shouldn’t know he was bribing the warden to get preferential treatment.Lucian eyed the two other men who stood at ease, not sparing him a glance as he looked for way to move close to the warden to try to communicate.As he started to move close to him, the warden’s stone cold face was unwavering as he w
“Come on, newbie. Go to bed. You look like a shadow of yourself.” The first one joked as the rest roared into a laugher as they all climbed on their bed.“I don’t…,,”Lucian made to say to one of them but none paid heed to him as he just watched.This was driving him crazy. How could things turn out like this? Just what the hell was happening. He just couldn’t grasp.Then he took his place on the bare floor and rested his head back on the wall, his legs crouched up as he wrapped his hands around the legs, now taking notice of how cold and damp the cell was.“Ravenna….”he seethed under his breath as the cold crept more and more. “You’ll be out soon, Lucian. Let’s just endure this for while.” He muttered to himself as he stared at the other inmate who were now snowing, with a light clothing used as their duvet.He might be Lucian kings outside here, but in here he was just a pitiful new inmate who didn’t dare challenge anyone.He wasn’t sure when he slept off as he sat there, but then
“Get your filthy hands off me, you bastard!” Lucian spat angrily as he shrugged Damian’s away from his shoulder.“Mind your language!” The warden roared as he stood up abruptly glaring dangerously at Lucian as Damian watched them for a while then burst into laugher as if a comedy was being played in front of him.Lucian turned a helpless gaze back to Damian who shook his head innocently.“Don’t look at me like that. I didn’t give the command.” He said, his eyes glittering as he stared at Lucian who grew helpless as the minute went by.“But I will advise you to obey his command. Frances gets testy once in a while and I, sometimes don’t know what to do to put him in check.” He said calmly as If none of this was his business.“What do you want?” Lucian asked in a calm tone that hide malice.“You would regret you spoke to me sarcastically if you hear my preposition.” Damian said again as Lucian regarded him for a while.“So?” Damian asked with a smile. But he didn’t wait to hear a respon
“Don’t ask me questions as if we’re friends.” Lucian hissed as Damian’s eyes flickered as he watched him.“You still have so much pride for someone that’s about to rot in here.” Damian pointed at him with a frown.“I’ll take care of my business. Stay away from me.” Lucian turned and made to leave but Damian’s next words stopped him.“You won’t survive tonight if you turn away without allowing me to help you.” Damian sisd as Lucian stopped on his track.“Why do you think they didn’t kill you last night? You don’t obviously think it was the warden that saved you?” Damian moved to his front as he watched him with a condescending stare then scoffed.“They are all together.” Damian completed with a lazy drawl.“What’s your deal in all of this? Why do you need my bloody permission to help me? Clearly, you do whatever you want without anyone’s permission. Don’t pretend to be some saint.” He hissed.“Nah. I’m not some saint. I am just some bored man looking for some humour.” Damain kept a str
With a mischievous smile, he pushed down Lucian’s head to towards the ground while Lucian still confused tried to hold back, but couldn’t as it seemed he had no choice but to bed to Damian’s want which was to see his head down.“Don’t try to fight back.” Damian cooed in a calm voice as his lips curved into a wicked smile. And finally, Lucian’s head was on the floor, where Damian has always though it to be.“This looks much more sincere.” Damaian rubbed his head slowly like a man would pay his dog.Meanwhile, Lucian whose head was bent was seething under his breath as the smell of the floor make him more angrier.“Stand.” Damian said after a moment but it seemed the pain and anger from what gasps just happened made Lucian a bit rebellious even though that wasn’t his aim.“Stand…up.” Damian reiterated and as if Lucian knew that was a sign he was getting angry, he raised his head up and managed to stand up even though his balance was shaky as he hands were handcuffed.“Good.” Damian said
Ravenna rolled her eyes, sat on the chair opposite Cairo, and crossed her legs while watching Leonardo intently. “If you plan to help him out of jail, it won’t work,” she said.“I don’t have plans of doing that,” Leonardo replied.“As if,” Ravenna scoffed, looking away before turning her gaze back to him. “I’m serious,” she added with a more intent tone. “You would just be wasting your time.”“I don’t know. Would you think I want him out or to rot in there… probably dead,” he said, rubbing his chin while observing Ravenna. “I would prefer he never comes out.”“Then why the hell did you go to the jailhouse?” she seethed angrily.“The evidence. I wanted to ask him for it.”“And you think he would give you,” she chuckled incredulously.“I went to check if he had it,” Leonardo corrected, noticing Ravenna's lowered brow, a cue for him to continue.“It only meant one thing,” he continued. “That you have it.”Her lips twitched in a smile. “You sure know I do.”“And that brings me to the conc
