Drake couldn't hide the fear that surged through him as the anonymous caller's laughter kept replaying in his head. He already could sense the trouble that was brewing, the realization dawning on him that he had probably been lured into some kind of trap.He decided to quickly exit the cafe before it became too late. But just before he could turn around to leave, two burly men appeared beside him, their faces menacing.He tried walking right past them, but one of them stood in front of him, preventing him from going through, causing Drake to bump into him."Sorry," Drake apologized, but the man who had stood in his way didn't appear to be moved by Drake's apology.Before Drake could further react, the two men flashed a gun and gestured for him to follow them. He hesitated for a moment, but the guns convinced him to cooperate. "Who are you, and what do you want?" Drake asked, his feeling of dread overwhelming him."You just have to cooperate and come with us Mr. Sullivan. We're not he
Drake's eyes opened wide in disbelief when Mr. Anonymous revealed that he was right there on the night that his parents were killed. This was exactly what he needed, someone who was a first hand eye witness to all that had happened eight years ago."What exactly do you know about my parent's death? What really happened to them on the night that they were killed?" Drake inquired from Mr. Anonymous, all in one breath.Mr. Anonymous chuckled slightly, his deep and coarse voice echoing through the room."I guess you've probably heard the name Mr. Black within the walls of the Sullivan empire?" Mr. Anonymous asked, as the laughter suddenly came to an end, his tone becoming serious.Drake's piercing gaze met his, as he waited to hear what he had to say regarding Mr. Black who suddenly became a sacred name to mention within the Sullivan empire."Well, his real name is Jacob Morgan," Mr. Anonymous revealed.Drake's curiosity was heightened as he looked at Mr. Anonymous to continue. He really
Mr. Anonymous' laughter echoed through the room, as his revelation hit Drake like a ton of bricks. He Just couldn't believe that he had actually guessed right, that it was Barrister Clark who had actually called him."What did you do to him?" Drake asked, his breaths increasing with unspoken rage."You really want to know? Why don't you check your phone?" Mr. Anonymous replied, the coldness in his voice enough to convince Drake that whosoever this Mr. Anonymous was, operated in the leagues of his grandfather, even if he appeared to be younger than his grandfather.He quickly brought his phone and noticed that he had received a text message from Barrister Clark."Drake, I'm sorry I couldn't meet up with you as agreed. I am being followed and my life is in danger." Drake read."You see," Mr. Anonymous continued. "I hate it when people want to stand in my way. I learnt that from your grandfather. Whoever is not working for me is definitely working against me, and the moment I find out, I
Grandfather Walter was with the Captain when Drake and Conner walked in. They seemed to be engrossed in their conversation that it didn't even appear as if someone had died."I think they're all returning one after the other," Captain was saying to Grandfather Walter, his voice barely above a whisper."Have your seat, Drake," Grandfather Walter gestured for him to sit down. "Where have you been?"Drake wasn't sure if he should let his grandfather know about Mr. Anonymous, and so, he chose not to disclose it."I've been out on a walk," Drake replied, casually."On a walk? And that too, without Conner or any of the security guards?" Grandfather Walter threatened. "I believe you saw the news that Barrister Clark was shot dead?""Yes, I did," Drake nodded his head sorrowfully. He was having that nudge to tell grandfather Walter what he knew about the death of barrister Clark's death, but he had to refrain himself and to hear what Grandfather Walter and Captain had to say about what was ha
Beneath the warm sun, Lucy pushed Michelle's wheelchair through the park's winding path, taking in the vibrant blooms and lush greenery. It had taken all of Michelle's pleas to get the Willmonts to allow her and Lucy visit the pack alongside with the new bodyguard they had hired to ensure their safety.Michelle was already getting home sick and she needed something new, a change of environment.Summer had been discharged home already, but she was yet to recover from her decreased alertness. Seeing how gloomy Michelle was looking, as a result of Summer's condition, the Willmonts decided to let her go to the park with Lucy just to make her feel better.Michelle's eyes sparkled with delight as she gazed at the beauty around her, her laughter echoing through the air."Over there.." Michelle said, pointing at a clown who made the little children who had come to the park that evening laugh."Should we go over there?" Lucy's smiled widened.Michelle nodded, her innocent eyes pulling Lucy lik
Lucy, not wanting to paint a bad image of the Willmonts before their granddaughter, took Drake's hand and pulled him to a corner of the park, leaving agent Conner alone with Michelle."What do you think you're doing?" Drake asked, angrily, pulling himself from her grip. "I thought you were a nice person Lucy, but I guess I was mistaken.""It's not what you think, Drake." Lucy tried to make Drake understand."It's not what I think? Then what is it?" Drake probed further, trying as much to suppress the anger that was surging through him."Believe me, Drake, I didn't know she was your daughter as at the time I resigned from the Sullivan's group. It was after I had taken the job that I knew she was your daughter." Lucy's soft voice pierced through the night, as she tried to pacify Drake's rage."But even after you knew she was my daughter, you still didn't say anything about it. Do you have any idea what is happening to the relationship I have with my daughter?"Lucy hesitated for a momen
On their way back home, Lucy could tell that meeting with Drake, had really brightened up Michelle's mood. She had suddenly shifted from the little girl who hardly smiled to becoming filled with so much excitement."So, aunt Lucy, why didn't you tell me you and my dad were friends?" Michelle inquired from Lucy, her curiosity piqued."I'm sorry baby. I forgot." Lucy lied.Just half way the journey, her phone buzzed with a text message from Viking."Remember the plan. We are taking the little girl tonight. Good luck."After reading the message from Viking, a feeling of remorse suddenly washed over her. She had almost forgotten that that night was the night they had agreed to have Michelle kidnapped.As she sat with Michelle in the car, staring into the little girl's eyes who had come to accept her like she was her second mother, she just couldn't stand the thought of pushing through with the plan anymore.She knew betraying Viking, just few minutes away to the abduction of Michelle migh
Michelle's cries echoed through the night as Viking's men tried to force her into their car, but their sinister plan was suddenly disrupted by the arrival of another vehicle, it's tyres screeching as it came to a stop.Lucy looked up, a feeling of relief washed over her, as she recognised the car to be Drake's car. While Viking's men were still watching, Drake and Conner leapt out of the car, ready to confront the kidnappers."Who the hell are you?" One of the kidnappers asked, his voice rising with indignation, unable to recognise Drake as the delivery guy who had once brought a wrong package to Viking, and whom they ended up beating up mercilessly.Drake's eyes blazed with a fierce determination, as he recognised them as Viking's men, remembering the previous encounter with them at Woodruff. He had always looked forward to the day when he'll be give them a payback for beating him mercilessly, leaving him for dead.Michelle's bodyguard, who had been knocked out earlier, was back up o
