The underworld lord stood in the midst of hefty looking men, they were all gathered around him listening to the instructions he was passing out to them."I have a job for all of you, anyone that gets it, would have the chance of getting $500 dollars. I want you to start hunting for Dan Winston, as y'all can remember. I promised that someday I will have to hunt after him when I get a job offer against him and it is today. Someone asked us to kill him which we will do with an honor," The underworld lord said to the boys."We are at your service, My Lord. We would make sure we do whatever you say. From now on, we will be keeping an eye on his every move to know how to go about killing him," The second in command assured, and this brought joy to the underworld lord. His boys have never failed a mission and as they had mentioned, they would get him for sure.They hardly lose a mission and find anyone they are instructed to find even if he/she lives in a hole."Hang around him to know his
The underworld lord came forward to stand in front of Dan who stood there transfixed."You weren't expecting me this soon right? You thought I was far away communicating with you while you hide your ass here," He said with a smile as he brought out a gun."Don't do this, at least for old time sake," Dan pleaded moving back."Old time sake? That's bullshit because you were the one that betrayed our friendship because you were the grandson of a wealthy family and I was from the streets. After making me commit a murderer because of you which put me in jail and framing me up again for another murder you committed, you think I will let you off?" The underworld lord said with rage."I thought we have settled this beef over the years. Why remembering and bringing it up now?" Dan asked, confused. He had had it in mind that everything that happened between him and his used to be best friend who became the underworld lord had been settled as the last time he visited to apologize for all his wro
After Dan's death, the underworld called Elizabeth to inform her that he had been killed. He had been so happy to watch Dan's cold on the news. Being the son of a rich influential family, the report of the attack and his death was put on TV. The underworld lord smiled as he watched all the commotion going on the TV with people wondering how it all happened and what grudges his killer had on his mind before killing him."Boss, ain't you scared that we might be caught? His family is very rich and influential to start with and his grandmother too is a no nonsense woman who was a part of us before she settled down," The second in command said with fear evident in his voice. He knew Dan's grandmother so well and knew what she was capable of."Did she ever know that we have a grudge against her grandson? If she knows, that is when you should be scared but as for me, there is nothing that would make me scared. I am the lord, why would I be scared of anyone," The underworld lord said as he cro
Chapter 53.The next day, Elizabeth dresses up to go meet the underworld lord in one of his penthouses, where he was hiding. She made sure she strictly followed all the precautions she gave and luckily she wasn't followed. She got to the address he gave after an hour drive. It was far in the outskirts of the city, it wasn't an isolated place, other people lived there but it would be hard for anyone to notice that a person of his caliber was staying there.Elizabeth walked and drove into the penthouse when she was recognised by the security system which controls the gate to the penthouse. She packed her car and got out. She headed straight into his living room.She was offered a seat by his butler who left to inform him of her arrival. He came down some minutes later to join her."She was surprised to see some plaster on his body which indicated that he had minor injuries and she didn't need a soothsayer to tell her that he sustained it from the fight."You are welcome," The underworld
The news of Dan's death got to George who was shocked by it. It was rumored that he was murdered by unknown men who the police were on a search for.The sudden death of George left him totally dumbfounded and speechless. They had barely communicated with each other as step cousins. He would say that they had never really talked and barely knew each other.In return he had been planning on reaching out to him and making him a friend but unknown to him that in return, George had been hunting him and he would have long been attacked by him if his plan to use Austin through Sally worked out.George knew that it was a sad day for his grandfather and his step grandmother who had warmly welcomed him the time he visited for the first time. He knew his grandfather would feel very bad and hurt over Dan's death. Even as he wasn't his child, he was someone he trained up to be his. George sighed as he felt totally weak.He couldn't imagine how his step grandmother would be feeling. He canceled his
"It's over, Mabel." A deep voice sounded out and Mabel shook her head vigorously."No, baby. We can't end what we have. I love you and cannot let you go." Mabel replied frantically. She then stepped forward to touch the owner of the voice but she was pushed backward. "Get away from me. You will never be enough for me. You're so annoying." The deep voice was heard again."No, you can't leave me." Mabel said again and stepped forward to touch the man before her but she only caught the air."What! You can't leave. You belong to me!" She yelled out loud and then started to run but she found herself landing on the hard floor with a loud thud. "Ouch…" Mabel cried out, pain coursing through her whole body. Her phone dinged in the distance. She opened her eyes slowly to see that she was in her bedroom. It was dimly lit and she could only make out vague outlines of things. "Not again…" Mabel whimpered, tears leaking out of her eyes. The nightmare concerning how bad her previous relationshi
The sun's rays streamed across the window into the room.The sunlight shone on Mabel's face and she groaned. As she opened her eyes, a splitting headache overwhelmed her and groanings became louder. Everything felt strange and her body felt extremely sore. She started to feel sticky, her hands clenched the sheets over her. Straightening up from the bed, her eyes went wide when she noticed she was in an unfamiliar room. She let go of the sheets and frantically looked around to know where she was. "Ahhhh…" She let out a scream as her eyes met with the underworld lord."You're too loud." He said while covering his ears as he looked at her."What are you doing here? I mean to say what are we doing here?" Mabel clapped back. But then the underworld lord didn't reply to her. His eyes were trailed on her exposed boobs while he licked his lips seductively.Mabel followed his gaze and saw that she was naked under his gaze. As she took in the state of the bed, she realized what had gone dow
George remained with his grandfather in the Mansion as they received visitors. His step grandmother was already back, she tried as much to avoid George because of the anger of remembering her grandson son whenever she sets her eyes on George. She had already made out a plan to poison George to death and this was right time. The time when they are accepting condolences from visitors who came to visit.The poison she had asked her personal assistant wasn't an instant kill poison. It do take hours before it's effect starts showing. She had already given out instructions on what his assistant should do and the assistant was only waiting for the right time to carry it out.George who was oblivious to the plan was dressing up in his room for the occasion. His grandfather had mentioned to him that he would sieze the opportunity to introduce him to the people who are coming to visit as no one knows him as one of the members of the family.George thanked him and looked forward to it. He looked
The police officers were able to trace Sally and Davis through the men they caught to their hideout where they got arrested and taken to the police station.George went to the hospital to check on Anna and Jane who were admitted. He was worried about their condition when the doctor informed him that both of them were in critical condition.Anna was being operated on to remove the bullet, and Jane was being revived as she had passed out due to the substance that the men fed her.George was restless as he paced about the hospital, praying that he doesn't lose any of them. Jane risked it all, just to help him get Anna back from the hands of the abductors. It wasn't an easy task but she made sure she stood by him.Too many people were already hurt in this journey of his, salmon and Damian were yet to be discharged from the hospital because they were recovering from the attack they got the last time now it was Jane and Anna.Everyone around him was down, he was the only one standing and it
On getting close to the penthouse, George stopped the car, making the other people to do so too."Why are you stopping?" Jane asked him."It's dangerous, remember the group of dangerous men that was seen entering the penthouse," George pointed out."Yeah, I remember," Jane replied.George decided to involve the police in order to have assurance for safety. He didn't want a case whereby the men would attack and get them injured or hold them captive. He didn't know what Davis' plan was and he couldn't tell.He didn't know what he might have planned with Sally but he knew how dangerous he could be.George searched through his phone, looking for the contact of an acquaintance who was a police man, a high ranked officer in his division. He luckily found it and quickly put a call through him.The police officer picked after the first ring like he was expecting George's call."Hello Mr Jackson! It's been a long time," he said cheerfully over the phone. "How have you been? I know how busy yo
Jane reached out to George to know the situation of things so far in finding Anna."My secret agent had been trying to reach out to them. He is also looking out for him. I had instructed him to keep an eye on Davis, he might be the one making all the moves while Sally, who we discovered was also involved, would be watching Anna," George said, to which Jane agreed."I will also be doing everything in my power to help out. I and Chris had checked almost all the CCTV cameras in search of Anna. The house they are staying at on the outskirts of the city is unusually cold. As of today, I don't think Anna is safe anymore. We got a glimpse of men who came visiting," Jane reported.George informed her of how hard his men were working towards finding Anna which was very satisfactory to her.He was disturbed himself, he was feeling very bad and had a strong feeling that Anna wasn't safe too which made him decide to go onlook and in search of him himself. He didn't care if his life would be expo
George had been tracking Sally's whereabouts who had gone into hiding.While George sat in his study lost in thoughts after the news of Anna's kidnap got to him, it's been two days already. He has been tracking her and doing everything to know her whereabouts but none has proved futile. The kidnappers too haven't contacted him.His phone rang which brought him out of his thoughts. He checked it and saw it was a strange number, he hesitated before picking it up, a strange number hadn't called his phone so he was skeptical about picking up the call but since he didn't know the reason why whosoever that was calling him was using a strange number, he decided to pick the call."Hello, I guess you are good, George Melmer!" A deep masculine voice said."Of course, who is this?" George replied."I heard about your wife and I can be of help. I know who has her, and where she is and if you think I am lying, check the CCTV footage I will forward now to your phone," The voice said and immediately
They all stared at Sally as she brought out a gun from her cloth. "Guess I came prepared too." They all moved back in shock as more SWATs entered. "Everybody out!" The people in the restaurant were allowed to go outside, leaving George and Sally with the SWATs."You don't want to do this Sally, just surrender and let's all forget that this ever happens." George said.George had called the SWAT on his way to the restaurant. He wanted to arrest Sally and he had put a recording tape on his body, which recorded everything and enhanced the SWATs to hear everything said by them."This is exactly what I want to do, to finish everybody off and return to my mom." She pointed the gun at George and pulled the trigger unexpectedly, cursing a distraction for them all. She used that medium to run out of the restaurant, she met one of the SWATs outside waiting for them and shot him before he was able to lift his gun to shoot."Oh my gosh! Hold on dude, just hold it there." One of the SWATs chanted
George exchanged a look with Sally before starting his questions. "Why are you like this? You wouldn't have been born to be evil." He has been wondering about the question for a long time now and he only had time to ask about it then.Sally sighed. "That should not be your concern George but if you want to know, I was born as a sweet girl but that sweetness suddenly disappeared when my father lost his job. Your family caused that and my mom wanted revenge but couldn't do it by herself. She had been bittered since the death of my father who died recently because of the delay when ma'am Patricia opposed the marriage and got hospitalized. My mother wanted her revenge then, so she put up a test for us all which I was able to pass without much stress but I was a child that's not trusted, I was too sweet to do evil tasks, so another task was brought up which got me thinking and all that.""Do you know that I had a lover then?" George shook his head indicating a no. "Well, I did. Her next t
"George?" Sally's smile dropped immediately. "What are you doing here?" She asked as she looked around, trying to detect if George was playing a prank on her."I'm here to see you, you know Chris right, don't look for someone else!" George said, snapping his fingers before her face, he noticed how she was glancing around like she was searching for someone.Sally stared back at him and watched as he pulled out a chair and made himself comfortable on it with his legs crossed on each other. "Come on Sally, why are you silent? We're here for business, then let's proceed with it or isn't that why we're here?" George asked her as he pretended to be removing the dirt from his nails.Sally laughed crankily, desiring to play smart. "What are you talking about George? We're here for business? Will you mind me asking you which business that is? Because I don't remember engaging in a business with you." She said with a fake confused look."Oh Sally! Allow me to refresh your dumb brain then. Does
Austin recovered a little bit and was requested to be sent back home by Anna who decided to look after him at home. Since she felt that the hospital wasn't safe for him.After Anna had gone out in the morning, Sally came visiting.Sally banged into Austin's room. "Hi there, how are you holding up?" She asked Austin, who was weakly lying on the bed.He had been fed with a lot of poison, which had drained his blood and strength."How do I look?" She asked, spinning around for Austin to see.He was just staring at her, unable to move any part of his body, even his mouth felt so heavy."You don't have to talk, I know I look beautiful, even more beautiful than I used to be." "Look at me very well. Do you think I'm the most beautiful girl in the area?""Well." She laughed. "I forgot you can't talk but don't stress yourself, I understand your body language.""I'm going out today to complete the selling process of your inheritance and guess what will happen after that!" She bit her middle
"Like I was saying, you shouldn't trust these women, they are evil. You don't even know their motives for coming here," Josh said as he stood with Anna looking at Sally and her mother, Elizabeth who was sitting beside Austin who had been hospitalised and was receiving intense care."But they look so harmless especially today," Anna said in reply as she also looked at them.Sally had apologized and confessed to treating Austin badly but she didn't mention she was the one who put him in such a condition. Anna, who had a soft heart, forgave Sally when Sally's Mom got involved. Sally begged her to look after Austin for the last time."Of course, they would look very harmless but they are Austin's greatest nightmare who he never prays to meet in his life again. Sally has never loved him, I can attest to that. Even Austin knows too," Josh replied as he watched Sally and her mother who had already sat on a couch in the ward."What are you suggesting I should do now?" Anna asked as he looked a
