“Please, is there a problem?” Samantha pulled Maggi behind her. How did the cops get to know her daughter's full name?

“Are you Margaret Armstrong? I'm asking, who is Margaret Armstrong?” The leader asked again, his voice filled with terror.

“I am Margaret Armstrong,” Maggi moved behind her mother with a brave look, “Is there a problem? How can I help you?”

Samantha tried to pull Maggi back out of fear but Maggi was already out.

“Information reaching us that you've got what belongs to us, not just that, you've been accused of collaborating with the enemy to carry out an unlawful crime. Kindly come with us for further interrogation and investigation.” He explained and moved over to Maggi.

The people around gasped in shock. Working with the enemy? Has their family really been cursed to have all this going on in one day. But the ones who knew Maggi knew she wasn't troublesome.

Two of the Armstrongs damsels chorused, “Collaborating with the enemy?”

Samantha shook her head and

    Maggi's eyes fell on the picture of the man that was used in decorating the coffin. She could have sworn that picture looks familiar. “The traitor is finally in my nest.” She swallowed hard then raised her head and saw a man slowly walking up to her. It was Lord Dee, Vanessa's father. She started to feel uneasy. Why does it feel like she's gotten herself into deep shit? What was this about? His daughter? Is it about the slap at the auction? Well they had a bet and Vanessa raised her hand on her first. She only returned what Vanessa gave to her, though she was sorry. As he got closer, his sharp eyes and cold aura felt so overbearing, she couldn't breathe. “Sir, this is Margaret Armstrong,” The one in charge said. Lord Dee waved his hands dismissively and took his seat, his eyes still fixed on Maggi. “My daughter is a board member in your family's company, I'm sure you know who I am. But if you don't, I am Mr. Hunter Dashiel, a general from the western zone.” Maggi was

    “Shut up, lady!” Sniper snarled as Maggi struggled to bring herself down but then, her legs were equally tied up.“Once you give me that USB, you'll be free to go. Don't think you're so tough, by the time I'm done with you, you'd start spilling.”“I can't hang on! Let me go, I already told you I don't know anything!” Maggi denied, stubbornly. “But you know the man who killed Lucas?” Lord Dee asked, hitting the table hard. Her stubborn was starting to get on his last nerve.This got Maggi's legs trembling in fear.Yes she knows who got Lucas killed but saying his name wouldn't just implicate her, it was also going to implicate Byron as well.“Tell me his name or you won't like what I'm going to do to your family!” He threatened.“My family has nothing to do with this, leave them out of this.” Lord Dee laughed at her words, “it seems like you don't know what you've gotten yourself into. Listen, your life and your family's are in my hands. If I decide to kill any of them, then the rest

    Maggi was lost for words. She thought she just made it clear that there was no USB with her?Why did her mother have to rat her out to these people? Wait…she's right, her mother had indeed seen her trying to hide it.“That's right, that USB, once you can provide it or it's whereabouts, then we would let her go, if not, by this time tomorrow all you'd see is her lifeless body on your doorstep.” Sniper said with a note of finality before turning to leave.After having a few conversations within themselves, Samantha and The Armstrongs went back home that night except Grandma Jane and Liam's mum.No one had an idea where they slept but it was obvious where they were out, trying to get Liam out of prison.It was 10 pm that night and Samantha couldn't sleep. She kept thinking of the possible things they could do to Maggi. The last threat those men gave to them kept replaying in her head. What stupid USB could that be for Maggi to be willing to die rather than giving it to them?She gently

    Samantha's eyes welled up. Her daughter has been severely dealt with. She couldn't even recognize Maggi. Her back was bloody and horrific to look at, plus, her hair was disheveled. Even her fresh wounds were still bleeding. She looked like someone who was sentenced to death by hanging! This was too much for her daughter just because of a stupid USB! Or is there more she isn't aware of? “Bring my daughter down! I brought you the USB, didn't I?” Samantha lost it. Yes, a part of her was terrified of The General but seeing Maggi in such a state drove her mad! “Take this woman outside, her voice is starting to irritate my ears.” Lord Dee said and Samantha was taken out, though she struggled to stay, she wasn't allowed in. “Don't…” Maggi was weak. Her voice was barely audible. She could barely hear her own voice. She watched as Sniper placed the USB to the spot and started watching the video that came up. “Increase the volume, I wanna hear everything.” Lord Dee said as he fixed

    Meanwhile, Byron just got out of a board meeting at Platinum Enterprises when he received a call.It was from Mr. Blake, a Member of The Mighty Four, so he answered, handling his files to Joanna who bowed and left.She was curious, doesn't everyone know who he is, why was he still wearing his eye-patch? But what she doesn't know is that, they only know he is the Boss of Platinum Enterprises not Mega Corporation and other businesses, plus, no one is aware whose son he was just yet.Mr. Blake went straight to the point. “Mr. Smith, I just got the news that Margaret was arrested on the same day as Liam's failed wedding.”Byron raised an eyebrow, “Arrested, why?” He knew Liam was the only one in prison not Maggi. Mr. Blake sighed. He was a member of The Mighty Four so Lord Dee had shared the news within the group first, before anything.“It's Mr. Hunter Dashiel. He got her arrested as soon as he got the information that she was working with the enemy.” Blake explained.‘Hunter Dashiel.’

    “Good to see your sight has been restored.” Lord Dee said sarcastically. Byron was still lost in shock as he realized Lord Dee, Lucas' brother and Hunter Dashiel were the same person. He was the one they had been looking for all this while? But… How come Vanessa's surname is Dee? It all makes sense now! Dee was some kinda abbreviation for their surname? “I’d ask you this once, kid…. Did you have a hand in my brother's death?” Byron glared at Maggi then back to Lord Dee before getting up to face him, “I did. It was me.” He answered plainly, his eyes fixed on Lord Dee's. “I know… I just wanted to hear from the horse's mouth. Now, go in there–” He pointed at the living room which was open, “–And lie in that same coffin as Lucas or consider yourself dead.” “Consider myself dead?” Byron snorted coldly, “Even your best friend, Don Smith and Blues Miller would not speak to me in such a manner. You're nobody to me.” Sniper and the rest of the men smiled wryly. He was all alone

    Sniper stared at him in horror. Yes, the foolish words slipped out of his mouth earlier but he had no idea Byron was this strong.He hides his head at Lord Dee's back, “General, I don't want to die, help…”Byron stepped forward and said, “Don't be a pussy… You had the mouth to blab, you should also have a hand to back up that tongue of yours.”“Face me!” Lord Dee roared and stepped toward while the rest stepped backwards.“Your next opponent is me!” He took out his sword and rushed to Byron who simply turned and swiftly punched his nose, cracked his legs and within seconds, the sword was in his hands.Lord Dee was taken aback by the impact and spat a mouthful of blood as he stumbled to the ground. “Son of a bitch…” He groaned in a low voice.“General…” Sniper and the adjutants were not just puzzled… their mouths were wide open as they helped Lord Dee up.Lord Dee breath heavily, feeling an extreme pain in his legs like he wouldn't be able to use them. His eyes kept darting from his l

    “Never! Sniper called for backup. They should be here any moment from now.” The adjutant reassured but Lord Dee shook his head. “No…we don't need them.” “Why, what's wrong, general?” The adjutant asked, his voice trembled. If The general could shake this much, then who was he? Lord Dee coughed and fixed his eyes on Byron then the adjutant followed the line of this gaze. “He's Don Smith's son.” The adjutant's legs weakened and gave out instantly, causing him to crumble to the ground. It was no wonder Lord Dee looked horrified. Don wouldn't just take his life when he finds out. His entire family might never see the break of dawn. Who could have guessed that the person he had been planning to kill was under his nose all this while and was also the only son to the most powerful man in the world. Byron who now had a sword in his hand, said, “This one is for her–” He pointed at Maggi, “–You inflicted pains on her without proper investigation… You'd experience 100 times what you'

  • THE END

    “Yes boss.” They replied and claimed in the truck, cutting the rope in his legs, causing Derek to fall on the floor. “Hmmm.” Derek groaned as his head landed on the floor. His body aching from the burns he had gotten due to the fire. He couldn't open his eyes as his eyes lid was closed, and squeezed together. He forced it and tried to see how badly burnt he was but he couldn't. He couldn't barely hear a thing to say the least…. He needed water but he couldn't talk. The heat he was feeling was unbearable. Suddenly, he felt his body being dragged on the floor. “What are you trying to do to him?!” Sophia yelled as Byron's men dragged Derek to the river side. “Shut up and watch!” Byron frowned at her. The river wasn't far from where they stood so they all turned and watched as Derek was dumb at the edge of the river. “What the fuck?!” “Christ! Jeez…. Oh my God!” Woah! Byron heard the three of them screaming as a crocodile jumped out of the water and dragged Derek's body into it.

  • TORTURED

    “Raise your hands, you Moron!” Marcus, one of Byron's men, ordered Derek while Byron sat, crossing his legs with a smile as he watched Marcus and the rest do their job.“What are they going to do to me?” Derek barked, struggling to free himself from this white guy's grip.“It's a surprise!” Byron mocked.Marcus and four of his colleagues pulled out the rope before tying the end of the rope around Derek's both legs like a goat that's about to be slaughtered.“What the fuck is this, Byron?! Stop them!!!” Derek thundered as the smug look on Byron's face only irritated him.“I have your cousin! You kill or hurt me? You do the same to him!! I gave my men an order! If in 20 minutes they don't see me, they put a bullet in his skull!” Derek screams on top of his lungs.“It's funny how you think you still have up to 20 minutes to live!” Byron laughed as he watched his men tie the other end of the rope at the huge truck beside Derek.“Fuck!” Derek yelled as his head it hit the ground then Marcu

  • LET THE WAR BEGIN

    The black dude with Sophia walked over to them, then Sophia pointed at Byron, “Hey the cards from him!” She commanded the man who ran past her, intending to grab Byron but then, the place exploded, causing his body to scatter all over, his flesh dropping on the floor.Though the bomb wasn’t designed to cause that much explosion, it was meant to kill just a person who gets close to the string! Sophia, who covered her ears due to the loud noise, felt something trickle down her face. She raised her hand to touch her face.“Christ!” She screams. The black dude's blood scattered all over her face.Meanwhile, Sucre was at the Jeep where Sara was, trying to untie her.“Where is Byron? Where is he?” Sara asked as Sucre helped with the rope around her legs.“He's trying to get this war over and down with. Once and for all.” Sucre replied.“And…. And Sophia?” She asked, getting down from the car.“With the explosion we just heard? She should be dead.” Sucre added. “Come, you're my responsibili

  • STRING

    Byron arrived at the address he gave Derek. He got out of his car, handed the key to Marcus, one of his most trusted men. “The three of you get the five cars out of this vicinity. No cars should be seen here when they arrive.” He ordered, walking away while the rest of his men all surrounded the entire place just like he instructed them.They trooped in, hiding in the rooftop of the building, digging the sand close to the sea and burying themselves; in anticipation of what was to come. There were about a hundred and fifty of them, and they were all dressed in black. And had about three to four guns were with them.Their guns were fully loaded, and as they took their different positions, they set their guns in front of them, aiming it in the direction Byron, their boss instructed them.In about 10 minutes, the 150 men had successfully hidden themselves and when Byron turned to inspect the place, it was as calm and clear as if it was just him and Sucre that were present.“Brilliant, Byr

  • LOCATION

    Sophia took her seat not too far from Sara who was tied to a chair. She could still remember when she arrived at Derek's residence, with the aim of ending his life for all the pain he had caused her but then, she yelled a chaotic noise, causing her to raise her head up to the balcony at the seventh floor. Derek's room.To her shocking surprise, Sara was jumping out of his room. At first, she thought it was ridiculous for Sara to be in her baby Daddy's room but then, she knew how much Derek was obsessed with Sarah, not knowing she was Sara, Byron's wife. An idea dropped in her head then she changed her plans. Why kill Derek and be jailed and still lose at the end with no money, when she could get someone else to do the job and still get a lot of money with her?It was then she turned and patiently waited for Sara to swing off the water before tailing her down to this small hut, without being noticed.“I'm sorry we had to meet this way, Sara….” Sophia smirked, her gaze fixed on Sara.“

  • ORDERS FROM TWO ENEMIES

    “Ahhh.. ouch…” Sara cried.Not her stomach again! She had been protecting this one with her life. And now this monster wants to kill it before it even gets the opportunity to form in her stomach!“I'd kill you myself! Before you think of going back to that husband if yours, I'd gladly have your blood as wine!” He had a bloodthirsty look as he placed the broken bottle on her skin, slowly dragging it and cutting deep into her flesh.“No…” Sara whimpered as he cut her hands and her blood gushed out of her body.Enduring the pain; behind her, she placed her hand into her pocket, grabbing the pencil knife she placed there when she was leaving the warehouse. She knew dealing with Derek was a dangerous idea, but not being armed was a foolish idea.Without warning, she pulled and slid it across his cheek. Not satisfied with it, she raised her hand and stuck the knife into his chest.Derek gasped, “Shit!” He yelled as she stabbed him and tried to flee but he grabbed her by her legs. “Let me g

    Lincoln didn't realize a car had stopped behind him when he was trying to pass through the gate to go back and look for Byron who was obviously still in the yard, probably getting cooked alive.The sound of the burning place and the fire made it impossible to hear the cars driving towards him, not until a bullet crashed on his right hand. As he turned, he saw Derek pointing his gun right at his face.There was no time to alert Tbaj, he had gotten to his car and was still being shot at when Lincoln himself was pushed into Derek's car. It was after Tbaj was smart enough to zoom off, that Derek walked over to him to ask for Byron's whereabouts.“Oh, he's in that burning yard?” Derek laughed, “Hahaha! Funny!” He said coldly.“You must really think I'm a fool to believe that.” Lincoln shook his head, “I don't think you're a fool, I know you're a bloody big time fool! I even heard you're 39, it's only a matter of one year until your foolishness becomes permanent!” Lincoln thundered, his e

  • BYRON’S REMAINS

    “If Byron's is in there….You can't get in!” Tbaj announced, his voice trembling.If both Byron and Sucre were in there, there is a big chance that are probably being cooked by that fire. Just by standing a few feets away, the heat was making his temperature higher than usual.“No, we have to get him!” Lincoln yelled on top of his lungs, his eyes dark with pain and bitterness! He was breathing heavily and sweating hard at the same time! “Shit… Byron! Can you hear me!” He shouted, trying to go over to the gate but the fire was almost brushed over him, but he was quick enough to dodge.He shook his head in frustration. But was determined to go get his cousin. The sight of how greatly the fire has spread across the entire place was to be questioned. Just a bomb couldn't do this! Something or someone definitely has a hand in this! “Don't! Lincoln, it's too dangerous! You wanna get your skin fried?!” Tbaj yells out, far from where he stood, still carrying an unconscious Vanessa in his ha

    “Don't fucking ask questions! Just fucking do as I've instructed, do you hear me?!” Drew barked, frustration evident on his face. He would be a dead man in ten minutes when the timer is off! And these fools are asking questions instead of doing their jobs! If only he could open his chest and tell them that they would be all blown to bits if this isn't carried out but that was going to put him in more trouble with Byron.“What? Do you want me to call the boss now and explain to him how you all are trying to discard and disobey his orders?!” Drew thundered.“Okay… relax… are you crying?” One of the men noticed Drew's eyes ask, concerned in his tone.Sucre resisted the urge of bursting out laughing. “Hold it in, Sucre… don't blow this up.” Byron whispers.“I'm trying..ha..” Sucre bit his lower lip, trying not to laugh. The situation was so fucking funny as he could see the bomb they set on Drew's chest was doing a great job. He must commend Byron for bringing out such brilliant ideas e
