“Mum, why don't you just tell me what you know? what's this about a court… testify or being a witness? I don't understand.” Maggi tried to play dumb so her mother could spill what she knows but it seems it isn't working.Just then, the doctor walked inside. “Good evening, Margaret. How are you feeling?” Maggi only smiled at him but then the doctor asked to be alone with her as he was going to do a few treatments on her body.“Mum, we still have unfinished conversations, or should I say business?”“Whichever way you choose to call it, honey, get well soon. Ava misses you!” Samantha said and shut the door behind her.The next day, Byron had been discharged and was back at his apartment, in Pinnock.After a cold shower, he replaced the bandage on his shot wound before wearing his eye-patch, suit and shoes.He arrived at Mega Corporation and was welcomed warmly. This time around, Beatrice, Alex and his father were also present.Alex couldn't say for sure why she was having the hate feeli
As his parents left, Byron's phone started ringing. He saw Joanna walking over to where he was. At first he thought she was the one calling but then, he saw that it was a private number.Then, he answered it up.A woman's voice could be heard from the other end, “Byron Smith, your days on earth are numbered. Listen carefully; you're a walking corpse…”Byron didn't react to the voice and nodded at Joanna who was now in front and greeting him.“What makes you think I care about this information?” Byron asked the caller bluntly.Was he supposed to be scared or what?“Trying to be tough, huh?” The person scoffed. “This time around, I promise even Elena wouldn't be able to stop this war.”Byron paused and raised his eyes brow. He had to admit this particular statement caught his attention.This person just mentioned his late mother's name.“And what does Mrs. Elena have to do with this?” He asked, curiosity lensed in his voice.Elena wouldn't be able to stop her? She knows who his late mo
“So you've never seen this men physically?” Byron asked.“The only one I came across was the one I was fortunate to bump into this morning. He had a scar on his left cheek and I immediately knew he wasn't a worker in the Villa. This made me go check the CCTV camera. It was then that I found out they have been going in and out of the villa under our noses.” Fred explained.“Is my father or anyone else aware of this?” Byron asked, then Fred shook his head.He had tried to let the Master know this morning but he seemed to be a little preoccupied with Madame Beatrice, plus, he doesn't look okay.His pale face was evident that he was having health issues.“I thought to let you know because they always come late in the night and leave quite early in the morning.”“Do you have any idea who they might be there to see or what their mission is?” Byron asked. Fred knew better than to rat Mrs. Beatrice out without proper evidence. He knew how angry she could easily get and once she found out he
Suddenly the door to the door opened and a lady dressed in black walked in. She wore a black mask, a black shade, Blake boots and a Blake hand glove.Byron noticed her presence. She looked same age as Alex. About 23 or 24. “Enough acting all pitiful.” The lady tilted her head and walked close to Byron who didn't bother to turn back.“Your opinion, throw it in the trash can.” Byron said all loud and clear.How dare her walk in and say that to him. She doesn't even know who he was.Just then, the lady grabbed a rod at the back of the door and swung it in Byron's direction all of a sudden.He didn't look back. As if his subconscious kicked in, he moved his head a bit and dodged it. Then the rod passed the line of his right ear and fell on the floor.The lady stared at Byron in shock. He didn't turn back to see her throwing the rod how come he dodged it like his eyes were at the back of his head.“How did you do that?” “You don't need to know.” Byron said, his eyes still focused on the
After those words, the daggers moved towards Byron's both arms, making him unable to move the two hands.The ‘Killer lá’ was an attack that left the prey with nowhere to run to, plus, it was powerful to even kill the enemy especially when it's name or surname is being mentioned with it.The lady had this dark aura hovering around her. She was determined and his strength can never me a match for her!Byron yelled as his both hands started to glow with a familiar aura. He opened his palms and the daggers attacking hands fell into his palm at once. Then he threw the two daggers out the window.“No..” She stumbled back in disbelief.She gritted her teeth as she realized she was no match for this prey.“This isn't over, yet.” She opened the door and tried to storm out but Byron launched another attack.She wasn't able to run step outsidez though the door was now wide open. She was struck to the ground then her nose started bleeding.Byron calmly walked over to where she was and looked down
As Maggi walked towards the entrance of The Armstrong Group, she noticed most of the workers were gathered with puzzlement in their faces.“This is inhumane!” She heard Grandma Jane's voice.Grandma had left the house before her but she had thought Grandma Jane was with Liam's mom as they had discussed getting him out of jail today.As she approached, she saw the directors of Platinum Enterprises walking in.“Mr. Byron is in the office. I wonder if he's aware of this.” A staff member murmured.Maggi kept hearing exclamations. “What's wrong, what's happening? What's the commotion about?” Maggi finally asked as she got to the crowd but was unable to get to Grandma Jane to ask questions due to how huge the crowd was.The staff member pointed, “Look, there's a coffin in front of the entrance!”Maggi was taken aback, “A coffin?” She frowned and excused herself to see for herself. “Excuse me, please.” She said and the crowd immediately gave way for her to pass through.It was then and ther
While the commotion was going on, Byron was in his office, making a long term call with Bruno and the rest of his men.He wasn't notified with anything and when Joanna knocked on his door to announce the recent development, he asked not to be disturbed.Because indeed, it was going to take a while for him to get off the phone as this call was about his father's health condition, his late mother's killers and also, Ethan's murderers.Meanwhile, at the door entrance where the commotion was taking place.“Did the three of you have anything to do with this coffin here?” The leader pointed at the coffin in front of them.Two out of the three started crying, while the other one who seemed tough and stronger just stood there with a frown not caring about the looks he got from the well dressed staff or even the cops.“I'm sorry, officers! I promise it was the devil, I didn't mean to do it!” “I'd say the truth. Though I did it for the money….”He didn't finish when the tough guy cut him short
“Byron you've gone too far! How dare you pull such a stunt in a workplace?! If you have so much hate in you! Did you had to bring it here!” Maggi roared and her expression was dark. “I don't understand.” Byron and Joanna exchanged a confused glance but Joanna’s mouth was wide open. A common woman such as Maggi had just hit her boss! “Oh…quit playing dumb with me!” There was a hint of anger in Maggi's voice. Evidently, Byron felt hostility towards her family. And with those men's confession, there's no one else who can do such except him! As if his presence wasn't enough for, he had to threaten them with such an inhumane act? Byron raised a brow at her. For all he knows he hasn't done anything to get on her nerves for her to slap his cheek. “Well you might as well just tell me what's going on. You going on and on in circles aren't giving me clues to what you're talking about.” Byron said, his voice firm. He had a stern look as he stared into her raging eyes. He hadn't seen thi
