“Uh… I'm sorry, I didn't, I didn't mean to.” Vanessa opened her eyes as Byron quickly pulled away from the kiss. The atmosphere became awkward as they both avoided eye contact with each other.

“It's fine,” Vanessa replied. Though she was drunk, she kind of didn't regret the kiss.

“I'll take you home.” Byron said and helped her into her car. She didn't come with her bodyguards so there was no way he would allow her to drive home.

“Careful.” Byron said to her as he gently placed her on the car's back seat. In less than 30 minutes, they arrived at Vanessa's apartment.

At the time Byron opened the back seat, she was already asleep, so with the help of the maid, he took her up to her room, placing her on the bed.

While he covered her with the blanket, her phone beeped. A text message popped out shortly. It was from her Dad but Byron was unable to read it. He only saw the sender's contact was saved as ‘Papa’

Vanessa woke up the next morning and when she took her phone from the

    “Most expensive mansion?” Laila raised a skeptical brow. She was more than shocked. She had thought Samantha requested for the cheapest house here? “I thought you said you wanted the cheapest house here?” Laila asked. “Shut up, Laila! Whatever I said was in the past. What's the essence of being rich if you can't afford to live in a conducive environment? We have the money to buy it, unlike this irrelevant compound space.” Samantha said, her tone lensed with mockery. Byron laughed. “The houses here are quite expensive, Samantha. You might wanna reconsider. Even the lowest house Laila is talking about is nothing below a hundred G…” “I'm trying to recall when I asked for your opinion, Byron.” Samantha cut him short. “Expensive or not, it's none of your business! And besides, the president of Mega Corporation is my potential inlaw. Once Maggi is married to him, having a house would be will be just the beginning. I'll make sure houseflies like you are banned from places like this.

    “What's the commotion all about? Why are these people here? What's going on?” That was Patrick, the manager’s voice. He had seen the commotion from the CCTV camera on his desk in his office. He had to come down by himself. The salesperson explained everything to him, bowing slightly. Then he turned to face Byron who just dropped the call he was making. “You mean, you just came here to show off?” The man asked, anger evidenced in his tone. Then he turned to the salesperson, “Are you telling me that this ‘thing’ thinks he can afford the exclusive villa? Are you sure your sight is working properly or you're blind? If you're blind then tell me so I'd kick your ass out of here!” Patrick thought that he could read people very accurately after many years of working experience. He could see at a glance about what kind of a person the buyer was and predict their purchasing power. Just by hearing Samantha explain how Byron gave her choices if he tried to pay and it worked fueled his anger.

    The bodyguards muscles were twitching, their expression solemn, a cold and dangerous aura radiating from their bodies.It felt as though the temperature had suddenly dropped to the lowest number.Samantha nodded. “Yes, but since I'm referring to this moron, it only serves him right. I mean… people who can't afford to live shouldn't be alive, right?” Samantha rolled her eyes at Byron. “Hey! Don't forget we had a bet! Start crawling this instant! You're wasting my time!” Fred paused but this time with a different expression. Did this lady just order the young master to crawl?“Wait… crawl?” Fred asked and Samantha immediately nodded. “Yes, sir. We had a bet. If his card fails to pay for the villa, he crawls on his entire community!” Samantha gave Byron a wicked laugh then Patrick, Laila and the rest nodded in agreement.“Is that so, Patrick?” Fred asked with a slight chuckle. Only the bodyguards understood what that chuckle meant.“Yes, sir.” He bowed slightly.“And what was the young

    Seeing this, Laila took a step back and tried to run but was caught by one of the bodyguards. Samantha fell on her knees immediately. She didn't even know what to do or whom to apologize to, she was simply lost in pain after her teeth fled out of her mouth.It was as if losing her teeth gave her brain a factory reset.“I'm a hungry dog. Please, I'm really sorry! But please, I want my teeth back.” She glared at the ground, pleading and searching for her teeth.How could she live with incomplete teeth? She isn't even up to 37 years yet. She was way too young to lose one of her incisors!“You just lost one tooth and you already want it back. Isn't that too soon to miss it? I mean, there's more that you're gonna lose and you let just one bother you?” Fred chuckled.He was willing to take even that vile tongue she used in insulting the young master out.The bodyguards dragged Patrick into their vehicle and zoomed off. Even as he was being taken, he couldn't help but plead for forgiveness

    It was morning, outside the gate of The Stones clan. Military cars roar. The car in front carried a flag with the word, ‘Lord Dee of the western zone.’The whole car stopped, countless heavily armed military personnel stepped out one after the other. Their dangerous and dark aura surrounding the area.A commander walked to the car in front and saluted. “We are here, sir.”The car door opened and a bald middle-aged man in battle armor stepped out.The Bald man was the lieutenant of the military zone in the west, Mr. Hunter Dashiel, popularly known as Lord Dee and also a member of the Mighty Four.“You're welcome, Lord Dee.” Sniper bowed immediately he saw the intimidating aura in the surrounding. He dared not look Lord Dee in the eye if he wished to live.“I heard his body is here, I want to see it.” Lord Dee demanded.Sniper led the way immediately, not daring to say or question him.At the moment Sniper opened the door, Lucas’ corpse was the first thing his eyes fell on.

    In about five minutes, Vanessa walked back and sat close to Byron, giving him a sultry smile. “The maids should be done in less than 5 minutes. I promise, it won't take long and you can still make it to your meeting… tonight.” Byron noticed the sarcasm in her tone. Of course she didn't believe he had a meeting tonight. He was always in a hurry whenever he visited. At least that's what she could say. Since the last time they kissed, she felt he had been avoiding her. Vanessa moved even closer this time, her eyes locking into his. “Are you really serious about having a meeting by 9pm, or are you just lying to me?” “Hey! Get off of my daughter!” Lord Dee yelled coldly and Vanessa quickly moved away from Byron. Vanessa buried her head in embarrassment. She was the one going close to Byron but Byron was the one told to get off of her. “Dad.” Vanessa walked quickly to calm her father. Byron didn't do anything wrong. In fact she was the one who insisted he stayed for dinner. Byron

    Maggi wore her black heels as her mother helped in making her hair. Right now, she had a confused expression. Laila had locked herself up in her room since they got back yesterday and her mum had refused to say a word of how she lost one of her incisors. She had tried to get Samantha to tell her how it went with the house they were supposed to get in Pinnock especially since their company seems to be doing well, since Mega Corporation bought their shares even if it now seems like they own the company. “So… you mean you wouldn't be attending the auction as well?” Maggi asked as she was set and ready to leave. Samantha shook her head, “I have a slight fever, dear. I'd just stay at home.” She replied and turned to the other side. She couldn't bring herself to tell Maggi about her experience in Pinnock. I mean… how could she say Byron was backed up by this powerful man whose bodyguards removed her damn tooth? They might even think she was lying. If it was a rumor, she'd also sa

    “Welcome gentlemen and ladies.”Byron adjusted his tie and settled down not too far from the Armstrongs who acted oblivious to his presence. The disgusted look on Liam face was evident that he didn't expect to see an ex-convict in this Grand event.Vanessa muted the call then took her seat as the auctioneer walked on stage.The hall was filled with a lot of people who were now seated so it's obvious the auction had started already. “Thanks for your presence at this exclusive event.” The auctioneer started, his gaze fixed on the covered pieces in front of him. Everyone was eager to see and know what it would be, especially the ladies. They knew bidding at this edition of auction wouldn't just add to their class, it was definitely going to make them the most talked about.“I am pleased to announce that this remarkable and divine piece: ‘The Worship of Diamond’ necklace-” He announced as he uncovered the masterpiece. “-will be sold to the highest bidder!

    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

    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

    “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
