Who would save Cordelia this time when Benjamin isn't around? Will she be raped?
Just as Marshall's hand was close, a knock was heard on Cordelia's door, making his movement cease. He retracted his hand quickly and got up from the bed."Madam Cordelia, are you there?" a voice came. It was the voice of Cordelia's maid, Linda."Madam." Linda knocked again. "I'm here to clean, Madam Cordelia," she said, trying to open the door, but since it was locked, she couldn't."Could it be that she has gone out?" Linda asked herself. "Alright, I'll come back later," she then walked away.After a moment, confirming that Linda had walked away, Marshall breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Cordelia on the bed and said, "The medicine will keep working for long and you'll sleep for long. Don't worry, I'll come back to you later and do what I want."Saying this, he took Cordelia's door key and walked out quietly, locking the door behind him.It was around 8 p.m. at Benjamin's base, and a quiet stillness settled over the area. Benjamin was in his room, asleep. In the hall, Cipherel
Meanwhile, the other men saw their fallen comrades. The boss grew furious. "They've killed three of us! Kill every single one of them. Don't spare anyone." Rakshasha, recognizing the escalating danger, turned to one of his men. "Quick, go on. Tell Master Benjamin we're under attack. No one should come out." The man nodded and sprinted to the door, bursting it open. The noise jolted Inspector Helen awake. She looked at him, confused and groggy. "What's wrong?" "We're under attack! We're under attack!" the man shouted, gripping his gun. Helen sat up straight, alarmed. The man quickly roused the others, then rushed to Benjamin's door to inform him. Inside, Benjamin was fast asleep until the persistent knocking finally woke him. He groggily called out, "Who's there?" "Master, we're under attack," came the urgent reply. "Attack?" Benjamin shot upright, now fully awake. "Yes. Some people have invaded and started shooting.” Benjamin jumped up, quickly throwing on his shirt and openin
As they continued their approach, they could hear sporadic screams from Rakshasha's men, followed by brief silences. The leader's confusion deepened. "They're falling back," he noted. "Keep pressing. They're weakening."Encouraged by the apparent retreat of Rakshasha's men, the attackers advanced with growing confidence. The leader believed they were close to victory, but his confidence was soon shattered.Just as the attackers moved into the open, Benjamin shouted, "Now!”Rakshasha and his men sprang from their hiding spots, unleashing a relentless barrage of bullets on the unsuspecting attackers. The sudden onslaught caught them completely off guard, and they fell one by one under the fierce attack.The leader's eyes widened in shock as he saw his men dropping around him. "It's an ambush!" he screamed, trying to rally his men, but it was too late. The attackers, overwhelmed and outmaneuvered, were quickly decimated by Rakshasha and his men.All the enemy attackers had fallen, their
Rakshasha nodded, a mixture of respect and concern on his face. "Yes, Master," he said, signaling his men to deal with the body.Benjamin looked around, assessing the aftermath of the skirmish. "How many men did we lose?" he askedRakshasha stepped forward, his expression solemn. "Three, Master. The rest have injuries—some were shot in the thighs and others in the arms.”Benjamin nodded, his jaw clenched in anger. "Treat those with wounds immediately. Bury our fallen brothers with honor. May their souls rest in peace." His face hardened, his eyes reflecting a simmering fury. "This isn't over. We will find out who is behind this and make them pay.”Rakshasha nodded, understanding the determination in Benjamin's voice. "Yes, Master. We'll make sure everything is taken care of."Benjamin took a deep breath, trying to steady his thoughts. "Good. And tighten security. We can't afford another surprise like this."Rakshasha nodded again, already signaling his men to begin the necessary tasks
As Rakshasha turned around to walk away, Benjamin asked him to stop.He turned back, concern etched on his face. "Master, is there any problem?"Benjamin nodded. "Don't tell my mom to arrange anything. Don't talk to her about it anymore."Rakshasha frowned slightly, puzzled. "Any problem, Master?""I don't want her to know about this," Benjamin explained. "She might get worried and try to involve herself, making it a bigger case. Just leave it."Rakshasha nodded in understanding. "What do I do then, Master?”Benjamin continued, "I'll transfer money to you. Get more men, a lot of them. Get more weapons, too. Even if you have to use your own ability to find military-trained people, that's fine."Rakshasha nodded again. "Alright, Master. I'll handle everything perfectly as you want." With that, he walked out of the room, determined to carry out Benjamin's orders.Marshall walked slowly across the room, his footsteps barely making a sound. Suddenly, he heard a yawn behind him, followed by
Seeing her dad walk inside, Rose turned around and walked towards Cordelia's door. "Is she even asleep?" she muttered. She was about to knock when she stopped."No, if she's asleep I might unnecessarily disturb her," she said, discarding the idea of knocking. She turned around and walked away.Cordelia started breathing harshly, confusion clouding her mind. She looked down at herself, realizing she was draped in a towel. "Huh?" she muttered, shocked. Forcing herself to sit up, she clutched the towel tightly around her. "A towel?"She tried hard to remember what had happened. She recalled going to take a bath and then walking towards the door, but beyond that, her memory was blank. "What happened?" she whispered to herself, panic starting to rise. "Why can't I remember anything else?”Cordelia rubbed her temples, feeling a sharp, persistent ache in her head. "Why does my head hurt so much?" she whispered, wincing at the pain. She glanced around her room, trying to piece together the fr
Cordelia forced a smile. "No, everything's fine. I just couldn't remember if I locked my door or not, and I thought maybe someone might have come in to check."Rose looked relieved. "Oh, okay. I was worried for a second. If you need anything else, just let me know."Cordelia nodded. "Thanks, Rose. I'm fine now. I'll just take this and try to get some rest.""Alright. I'm here if you need me," Rose said reassuringly.Cordelia looked thoughtful for a moment. "I remember, I can't find my access card. Can anything be done about it?"Rose frowned with concern. "Oh, sorry about that. A new card can be issued. Have you locked your door?"Cordelia shook her head. "No, I didn't, so that I can go back inside."Rose nodded understandingly. "Alright, I'll make a call to the card provider early in the morning to get a new card for you. But you can come stay in my room if you want.”Cordelia shook her head with a smile. "No, thank you. I'll just stay in my room. I can open it from the inside."Rose
Hey dear readers, I totally understand your frustration with the delay in updating my book chapters. I want to reassure you that despite being away for a business commitment that's causing me stress, I haven't forgotten about my readers. Some are saying I've made enough money and don't want to continue, no please. Readers in Nigeria can confirm how bad network is there and I'm there for a short business. Please bear with me as I navigate this busy period. I appreciate your patience and continued support. I'll resume updating the chapters soon. Thank you for understanding.
