SETH RIVERA AND THE ULTIMATE BLACK CARD Dangerous Gamble
Seth pulled her closer instantly and grabbed her arm softly but firmly. Phoebe, I said no, this is too dangerous. I can't let you do this. If something goes wrong, I am never going to forgive myself.”Phoebe looked at him right in the eye and she was determined. ‘And if we don’t do anything, Marlin will keep coming for you, Seth.’ He’ll never stop until he gets what he wants. I can’t just sit idly by and watch him bring ruin to all that we hold dear and the people we love.Seth looked at her, feeling the urge to shield her from everything and at the same time, realizing the position they are in. His voice softened. "You mean too much to me. I can't risk you like that."Phoebe, her eyes filled with tears, caressed his cheek. And you mean too much to me to let him take you away. We have to end this, Seth. I’ll be okay. We’ll all be okay."Christian who was watching the exchange said something in a very concerned tone. "We have to move fast. Marlin’s not going to sit around and do nothin
SETH RIVERA AND THE ULTIMATE BLACK CARD The Shutdown
Phoebe could hear her heart beating in her chest, her hands were even sweating as they entered the building. There were security people on board, Christian had rehearsed with them all and had gone over every single detail many times, but still there was this nagging fear that never left her.They entered the conference room where the fake business meeting was to happen. The room was neat with no signs of life, the quietness pregnant with expectations. Phoebe joined Seth and she looked around the room for any sign of Marlin or his men.Days were long and each day seemed to be an hour longer than it was. Any sound broke the silence, any shape cast a loom on the wall. And then, just when she could bear the tension no longer, Christian spoke into the microphone."He’s here," he said quietly. "Get ready."Phoebe was almost fainting with anxiety. This was it. Marlin had taken the bait. Now it was their turn to perform, to pretend ignorance of what was going to happen next. But when the door
SETH RIVERA AND THE ULTIMATE BLACK CARD Drop The Gun
The room went cold. Phoebe felt the blood rush to her head as she looked at the gun in Marlin’s hand. It was no more a war of the tongue or the mind. Anticipated risks were considerably higher than ever before. She felt her heart in her throat as she swallowed hard afraid of what was going to happen next.Seth did not flinch, and he stared right back into Marlin’s eyes. “You actually think this is going to make me quit?” Seth said it, his tone even and calm. They will say, ‘If you pull that trigger, everything you want will slip through your fingers.’ The authorities will be on you before you even leave the building. You’ll lose everything."Marlin’s smirk flickered for a moment before it resumed again. "Ah, Seth. Always so noble. But do you really think that I do not have an evacuation strategy? You don’t really think that I have not considered all of the angles do you? The only thing that separates you and me is that you are not willing to go the extra mile. You? You are still tryin
SETH RIVERA AND THE ULTIMATE BLACK CARD Unexpected Attack
The room went deadly silent. Phoebe thought that Marlin might suddenly strike her, but then there was a glint in his eyes. Was it doubt? Uncertainty?Seth seized the opportunity. “You want revenge, Marlin? Fine. But you’re not leaving this room with her. You will have to get past me first,” was the reply of the woman.The sirens’ sound was distant, but they were enough to change Marlin’s expression, and before he could say anything, the car began to shake. Christian’s voice was shaky in Seth’s ear again, Christian said. “The reinforcements are coming in soon.” But we need more time.”Marlin’s smirk disappeared as the sirens became louder. His men looked at each other nervously, their morale had been shaken. For the first time in the movie, the viewer could sense that Marlin was losing control.“It seems that you do not have much time left,” Seth commented, and his tone did not tremble. “Marlin, you do not have to stick to this, you can drop it.” They told you that ‘You don’t have to g
SETH RIVERA AND THE ULTIMATE BLACK CARD Against all Odds
“Oh my God, that was a close one,” Phoebe said under her breath, drawing back just enough to search Seth’s gaze. The worries left her lips, and she looked into his face expecting to find confidence, but instead she saw confusion, anger, and fear. He nodded, unable to say anything and wrapped her in a tighter embrace.Christian went to them slowly, looking at the mess that had been created. “From now on we will enhance security for both of you,” he stated, scowling and grinding his teeth. “There will be no other opportunity for Marlin to get such a good chance.”Seth stared at the door through which Marlin had been carried; he nodded at the words spoken to him. “He’ll come back,” Seth said more to himself than to the others. Many a man like him does not surrender as a result of a simple issue like that. We have to be prepared.”Phoebe exhaled deeply, the tension of the moment bearing down on her. “We can’t live like this, Seth.” Living in fear and being on the defensive all the time wa
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
