SETH RIVERA AND THE ULTIMATE BLACK CARD Why Being So Heartless
At the same time, in the poorly lit room of a remote structure, Marlin was at the desk, the only source of light on his face being the cursor on the computer monitor. His eyes were sharp, analytical, as he looked at the screen with blueprints and diagrams.This blast at Seth’s warehouse was just the start. This man had been setting up for this for months, plotting every single move, and waiting for the opportune moment to act. Seth had stripped him of everything he had worked so hard to build – the company, his family’s business, and of all things, Phoebe. But soon, Seth would pay for it all with his life.Marlin’s phone rang and he checked the text.“It’s done. The warehouse is gone. “He won’t see the next one coming.”A dark look appeared on Marlin’s face. The next stage of his plan was in progress. Before long, Seth would be a man whose existence was only known by others.“Have fun in your last days, Seth,” Marlin whispered to himself with an evil look in his eyes. “Because by the
SETH RIVERA AND THE ULTIMATE BLACK CARD Why Now?
Phoebe’s heart was pounding, her hands were wet and she was looking at the phone in her hand. Sarah tried to shake her out of her daze by taking her hand and holding it tightly. “Phoebe, focus. Christian needs to know everything. Marlin is clearly psychotic – this is no longer a business rivalry anymore. He’s out for blood.”Phoebe nodded, dialing Christian with a shivering hand, and then the phone was ringing in the quiet. She had no time to waste.“Christian,” she exclaimed the moment he said, “Yes, Marlin just called me.” He’she’s planning something big, something worse. He said that the explosion was only the first step.”Christian’s voice was clipped, “What did he actually say?”Phoebe passed the conversation, she was crying as she told Marlin’s threats, and the words he said to Seth, that he has everything to lose.“Oh no,” Christian muttered under his breath. “He’s becoming more dangerous than we anticipated he would.” We need to act now.”“Is Seth safe?” Phoebe asked, the anxi
SETH RIVERA AND THE ULTIMATE BLACK CARD Risky Distraction.
She drew a little away from him, her gaze up to his face, and there was stubbornness in her glance. "I have to be. I’m not going to let you go in there to face Marlin by yourself. We’re in this together."Seth sighed, pulling the hair that had fallen on her face to the back with her hand. I don’t like this at all, but… I trust you."Phoebe felt her heart sink, but she didn’t mind his trust, she was scared for what they were about to come across. "We’ll get through it. We have to."At that moment, Christian came into the room with a look of a man who had a lot on his mind and little time to do anything about it. He had a folder in his hand, with papers Phoebe presumed were part of his strategy. He looked at Seth and Phoebe and fixing his gaze on them he waved them to take a seat.“Okay,” Christian said softly, “I will.” Since Marlin has kept silent after the explosion, he is preparing for the last move and that is what he is going to do. He believes he has time to plan and that is whe
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
