SETH RIVERA AND THE ULTIMATE BLACK CARD Price of Peace
Phoebe held Seth firmly around his neck as she too shivered from the adrenaline that was pumping through her veins. She turned to him and looked into his eyes, tears welling up in hers, and a sense of relief painted all over her face. He kissed her gently and whispered back, “Now we wait,” but she found this question more frightening than the bullet that had just almost taken her life.Seth hugged her closer, the hardness of his features fading for a second as he looked down at her. ‘It is one step at a time,’ he said quietly, his voice filled with clinical calm but I could hear tiredness in his voice. ‘This isn’t over,’ but Marlin’s lost this round. He will spend a lot of time in jail.”Christian moved to the front, he looked determined but happy at the same time. “The police are on their way. Marlin and his men will be dealt with; handed over to the authority,” he said, looking at Seth and Phoebe. “But you need to be careful. Marlin might be down at the moment, but he’s lethal. He’l
SETH RIVERA AND THE ULTIMATE BLACK CARD Let Him Watch
”Phoebe sat on the couch in silence for a moment the room charged with unsaid fears. Phoebe relaxed her body against Seth, her head laying on his shoulder, her heart was still racing a little.“We’ve been through so much,” she said softly, as if she was afraid of waking someone up. But I don’t know if I can keep living like this, Seth.” Living in fear, always waiting for the next punch to come.”Seth’s hand around her hand became even tighter. “I know. And I don’t want you to. But we don’t have a choice right now. Marlin is in jail, but his influence… his organization… it will not fade away anytime soon.Phoebe stepped back a little, and looked into his eyes. “So what do we do? So, they can just wait for him to strike again?Seth shook his head and narrowed his eyes, “No.” “We don’t wait anymore. We are in charge of this situation. We expose him, like you said. We ensure that the world knows the real man he is.”Phoebe stared at the table and thought about the situation. To expose Mar
SETH RIVERA AND THE ULTIMATE BLACK CARD A Deal With The Devil Itself
Seth scowled, and began drumming his fingers on the table in deep consideration. “It was a clever move, he has ensured that he left no trace behind. We will need a witness, we will need someone who is willing to act against him.”Christian nodded. “I have also been thinking the same thing. There is one man who might be willing and that is an old business partner of Marlin’s who had a disagreement with him a couple of years ago. He is not very reliable, but he might speak if you give him immunity.”Phoebe listened to her, and her thoughts were spinning. “What if we reach out to him? “Tell him that we are preparing a case against Marlin and if he wants to testify against him, we can guarantee him protection.”“It’s risky,” Christian said. “If Marlin hears of this, he will increase pressure on us even more.”Seth sat back in the chair, looking quite serious. ‘Well, we will have to be quick about it then.’ If we are going to do this, we have to do it in a smart way.”Christian nodded and
SETH RIVERA AND THE ULTIMATE BLACK CARD The Witness
“It is so obvious that someone on the inside is leaking information to him.” This is because Marlin has eyes all over the place, and he is not missing a thing that we are doing.Seth’s face was tense when he digested the new information. This means that we are not as privileged as we once thought we were in terms of time. It is high time we do something or the other before the man buries the evidence deep enough to make it impossible to dig them out.Phoebe’s thinking was not interrupted and her resolve weakened a bit under the new challenge. But then she was able to look at Seth, the determined set of his face helping her to regain her concentration.“Well, what do we do now?” she asked firmly.Christian put the briefcase on the table and opened it: there were papers inside and on top of them there was a pile of documents. ‘These are all the financial records we have been able to obtain’. It is not enough to bring him down but it is the first step in achieving that. We need something
SETH RIVERA AND THE ULTIMATE BLACK CARD Act of Jealousy
The next morning Phoebe awoke from the sound of the phone ringing and Seth whispering in a low intense voice. She yawned and got out of bed, her muscles sore from the recent events. She had expected that with Marlin behind the bar, their lives would begin to look like something like normal at least. But it appeared that he still followed them in the shadow.When Seth put the phone down, he looked at her, frowning but not looking scared. “Bennett agreed to meet. Tonight.”Phoebe swallowed hard. “What do we do until then?”Seth simply nodded his head but I could see that his thoughts were in motion. “We prepare. Discuss all that we have, check whether we are prepared for what is coming our way.The day seemed to be endless with calls to Mr. Harrison, desperate search for more evidence and a growing feeling that Marlin was one step ahead of them. Phoebe was too tense to go by the time the evening came, But she had never been more determined.When the sun started to set low, they drove to
SETH RIVERA AND THE ULTIMATE BLACK CARD In The Shadow
When the car came to a halt in front of Seth’s house, Christian tightened his jaw and switched of the engine. “We’re here,” he said again, very simply, and at once he saw that Seth and Phoebe did not even seem to have heard him; they remained in a kind of trance, still gazing at each other.Phoebe finally averted her eyes and looked at Christian with a small smile. “Thanks for driving,” she replied in a low voice, which was warm but not exactly friendly. Christian only nodded and tried to smile, but it didn’t look genuine at all.They got out of the car and went in, but the strain between the three of them was as thick as fog. After entering the house, Seth went to examine the papers Bennett had given him, while Christian stood by the door, observing the girl as she wandered nervously about the room.He had been seething with jealousy throughout the day and it was not long before the head got the better of him. He just could not stand it.“Phoebe,” Christian said, his tone scarily clo
SETH RIVERA AND THE ULTIMATE BLACK CARD Price of Betrayal
Just then there are some noises of footsteps in the warehouse. All of them stopped moving and looked towards the door.“Who’s there?” Seth asked, his hand tensing at his side.Out of the darkness a man appeared. Standing six feet two with broad chest, he was dressed in a black trench coat when he moved into the light. It was Marlin.“Well, well, well,” Marlin said, his voice dropped to a low, sneering tone. ‘I knew you’d come for me eventually.’ But I didn’t expect you to be so predictable.”Seth’s jaw clenched and he moved towards her. “You’re done, Marlin. The enemy has all that is required to defeat you.”Marlin laughed bitterly and glanced at Bennett. “Oh, I see. You have made my own pet rat betray me. How quaint.”Bennett cringed, fear etched all over him.“You won’t get away with this,” Phoebe said, her tone equally calm as she stood beside Seth.Marlin’s eyes moved to her and he was smirking in a very dangerous way. “Oh, but I already have. You know, while you’ve been running a
SETH RIVERA AND THE ULTIMATE BLACK CARD No Room For Errors
Seth looked at her and she at him, and there was a clear mutual understanding of what was going on. He held her hand and gave her a small, encouraging look as if to say that everything would be all right. Phoebe was not sure if she was ready to believe that but having his hand clasped in hers gave her an odd sort of comfort in the midst of it all.Christian, who stood a few steps away from the two, tightened his fists in anger. It was obvious that no matter how hard he attempted to insert himself between Seth and Phoebe, there was still something that bound them. He stuffed his hands in his pockets, averted his eyes from them for a moment, his thoughts still swirling with unreleased feelings.The sound of police cars arriving outside the house reminded them about the situation they were in. Marlin might have escaped for now, but the threat he posed to the family was bigger than he could have ever imagined. He had too many friends, too many people he could turn to in order to avoid the
