Mariana was saying all this because she wanted to get into the good books of Candyce. She knew who Candyce was! And she wanted to use this to the best of her abilities. Her plan was that if she gets close to Candyce and gets into her good book, then she can get to hold a personal conversation with Candyce. Having a personal conversation with Candyce meant that she would be able to ask Candyce about the boss of her father. This way, she would slowly close in the gap and, in no time, meet with the mysterious man. To seduce the mysterious man would be the easiest thing ever. She always has her way. She had her way with Vixton. All she would need right now is some sharpening of skills, and then the rest would be history. There was a broad smile on her face as she said all those things to Candyce. Her eyes were locked in with Candyce. Candyce was also staring directly into her eyes. Candyce wanted to lash out at her when she started out with the speech, but when Mariana mentioned som
Candyce's jaws dropped so hard that she couldn't find the willingness to pick them up. There were a lot of things she had expected, but what just happened didn't fall into the top hundred of her list. Mariana had her mouth widely opened and was gasping for breath when she saw this. There was no way in the whole wide world that what had just happened was what it really seemed like. Mariana was thinking about everything she could get her mind on. Slade? The same Slade she knew? The pushover Slade whom she left for Vixton?!How in the world did Slade come any close to Amelia, let alone getting so acquainted? A hug? Slade got hugged by Amelia?!They had all just watched how Amelia openly addressed Slade and threw herself at him with no sense of hesitation at all. Vixton was clueless as well. Dexter, on the other hand, was trying to understand what the situation was. When he had seen Slade with a beautiful lady like Candyce, he had thought that Slade might be an important person, but h
Slade was constantly looking around as soon as he walked into the hall. He didn't really care much about how radiant, lively, opulent, and utopian the hall looked. Amelia must have spent a fortune to organize this place and doll it up to this standard. Slade looked from one angle to the other. There was no trace of Candyce. "Where did she go?" He wondered, constantly looking around. He could swear on his life that he saw her walk into the hall. "Or could there be another exit?" He didn't know what else to think. Perhaps after walking through the front door, she made an exit through another door. Slade was tempted to go and ask one of the men-in-black who were hanging around the corners of the hall, keeping eyes on the event and making sure that there was no problem or drama. Suddenly, he recalled that he could do this all by himself. He had been so worried that he almost forgot that he could use the Vyion Eye to locate Candyce. He decided to activate the Vyion Eye and then sta
Even Candyce, who was still very much mad at Slade, gasped when the random man pointed at Slade. "Huh?" Slade was still trying to understand where something went wrong. He recalled that for a moment, he was in lost in his thoughts and didn't hear what the grim man was saying. He didn't snap out of his thoughts until the grim man mentioned something about an auction. Slade had been trying to put his head around it when all of a sudden the random man was pointing at him. Slade looked away from the man for a second to the other four men, he could see all of them smirking, too. It was either they were also in on this or they were happy to see that Slade was put on a spot. Amelia on the other hand was quite worried, too. She only knew that Slade was the driver of the family of Lord JK. Wasn't that why she had invited him to her party in order to use him to get close to the family?"He's screwed." Mariana scoffed. She had been brooding over what happened outside the hall. But right n
"What!!" People exclaimed. "This is madness." The people were really stunned speechless. "Didn't that Slade guy say 500k? Then this other guy shot it up from 500k to ten million? What the fuck! That's class! Class, man!!!"Some of the people who were in the hall were muttering amongst themselves. Especially those who were invited to the party through the influence of their siblings. On the live video of Celia, the scene was going crazy. [Did someone just said 10 million for a tiny bottle of perfume][Bro! These rich folks must be stupid, bruh][Here am I thinking that 500k was way too much. Then 10 million out nowhere?][Damn! I never thought for once that I'd feel bad for a stranger, but shit! I feel bad for that Slade guy.][Slade? What kind of name is that? Sounds more like Slave. His name must be his badluck totem.][The auction should be over already. I want to see Amelia's face again.][Show Amelia face for three lions.][Show Amelia face.][Show Amelia face.]Celia was so l
The Peeptok live video on Celia's phone had gone crazy. Naturally, the highest streamer on the platform had once averaged a total of one million viewers in an hour. It was a live video where one of the popular streamers, Vixen, mistakenly flashed her boobs on a live video.But right now, Celia had just broken the platform record and she did not know it yet. Right at this moment, there were over twenty million people on her live video. A lot of gift donations were pouring in and lots and lots of comments were also flowing in! Her followers were skyrocketing and her phone was blaring with notifications. Yet the owner of the phone just stood there like a mannequin, just like the rest of the people in the hall, staring at the man who had just mentioned the most random and preposterous thing that was ever known to man. "Is there anyone?" Slade added, looking from one person to the other. No one could say a word. The urge to want to say something was quite alive but the drive and the w
"This bastard will not stop embarrassing himself. Mariana irked. "Why do I still feel second hand embarrassment for him? Why do I care if he burns to ashes."Whispers and murmurs dribbled around the corners of the hall as the people wondered what Slade had gone over to Dexter to tell him. Many believed that Slade was shameless and didn't want to accept defeat, so perhaps he went to pull some trick. No one could tell for sure. As soon as Slade stepped away from Dexter, Dexter's eyes shone so brightly that it almost competed with the chandelier in the center of the hall. Everyone saw the sudden reaction of Dexter as soon as Slade stepped away from him. All of a sudden, Dexter turned around and started to run away. "What the hell!""What just happened right now?""Where is Mr Dexter going?"Not one person in the hall was not clueless, except for Slade. There was a soft smile in his face. There was a shade of death and evil in his smile. Everyone watched as Dexter ran into the restr
Slade headed straight to Candyce."We need to talk." He said to her as soon as he got to her. Candyce stared at him for a moment. When Slade had offered to pay a billion dollars and went through with it, Candyce's rage had disappeared for a moment. Right now that Slade was standing in front of her. It seemed like the rage was not actually gone. It felt like something else overshadowed it and kept it buried for that split second of time. She looked away from Slade for a second and saw that all eyes were on him. There was not one person in the hall who was not staring at him. Her gaze strayed for a while until it landed on Amelia. Amelia was also staring at Slade. Seeing this made Candyce even more infuriated. "Maybe you should go talk to her instead." Candyce rolled her eyes and then walked off. Slade stood there for a moment. He looked in the direction of Amelia. It was easy for him to deduce whom Candyce had referred to as "her"Slade turned around and left the hall, following
Slade landed dramatically at the shore of the lagoon at the end of the Heaven Coast Forest. He looked towards the forest as his eyes squinted. His Vyion Eye was still active so he wouldn't have a tough time finding the lady. The classified vision highlighted the path that led in the direction of the lady. Soon enough, he found himself walking down a narrow path that led towards a fountain. He could hear the body of water crashing ruthlessly against the rock. When he approached the fountain, he found the lady standing butt-naked, her back was positioned towards his direction. She was dripping. It seemed like she had just finished having a bath. She was whistling, and her voice was melodious and very enchanting. The harmony of her whistles provoked goosebumps and made head swell to the intricacies of the unknown witchery. Suddenly, she stopped whistling. She felt a presence behind her and turned around to look at the person. When she turned around, there were two large cats standi
Slade could swear with everything that he held dearly that he didn't open the door. The truth was that, he had tried to do what the old man had instructed him to do, yet he didn't get the door to open. Instead, he had continously been thrown away from the door whenever he made an attempt to open the door. Right now, when he pushed the door open slightly, he realized that the door was open. "Did I open the door? Really?" He started to doubt his own sanity. "When I tried to open the door with the scar, I was thrown away. How can I open the door when I was thrown away? Getting thrown away, doesn't that mean that something is wrong?""But then, could getting thrown away be the side effect of successfully opening the door?" Slade tried to understand the most logical possibility of event here. It didn't make any actual sense. "If that's the case, then why did I get thrown away each time I tried to open the door? Did the door open three times or more?"Slade realised that if he remained
The lady was lying on the ground, between the cluster of shrubs as she panted heavily. She was stark naked and covered in sweat. Her hair was disheveled and some part of her body was smeared with dust and green. She sighed continously. A wave of peaceful air flowed all about her, giving her this comforting feeling that she had never felt in a long time. The lips of her honeypot was coated with her juice and her legs were trembling. She heard the footsteps receding from her and tried to sit up. Sitting up, she saw the monster man who had just destroyed her warmth. He had finished ramming her as though he was a tractor plowing through a tough forest. Yet he was walking away strongly as though he had just taken a nap. "What kind of a man is this?" She muttered to herself, as her rage turned into admiration. Then her face changed again. "Hey! Where are you going?" She called when a sudden realisation hit her. If he is headed in the direction of the Lotus lagoon, doesn't it mean tha
Slade knew that the last thing he wanted to do in this moment is to get distracted. He couldn't afford it. But staring at this gorgeous lady standing in front of him, he couldn't help but let his jaws drop all over the floor. He didn't even know what to believe in a situation like this. Was she really a lady or a creature! For all he knew, she might be something else disgusing as a lady. Even at that, Slade didn't think it would be so easy for him to disregard the fact that her choice of character was out of this world. Candyce was indeed beautiful and gorgeous. But the likes of these lady standing in front of him, would make Candyce jealous if they were in the same room. "I must admit it. You're quite beautiful." Slade didn't know when those words flew out of his mouth. The manner at which he was acting right now, one would think that perhaps he had lost his mind. Some might think that he was under a spell and was being bewitched by the lady. But Slade could tell that much that
"Don't you think it's stupid to come here all alone?" A sudden feminine voice said behind Slade. Slade stopped in his tracks. A mile ahead of him was the Lotus lagoon that leads to the island where Niel Rim-Adon had told him to go. Slade had been told by the old man that something huge await him there. Ever since Slade arrived at this forest, he has not been attacked by any creature. Save for the two nuisance who came driving to their death, which had distracted him, there was no other difficulty. Slade was closer to his destination. He could get this done quickly and return to his daily life of vengeance. He has only been able to pull one revenge off. There are still five more families to go! Also, he still has to reclaim the lost company of his family which was stolen by the six families. And he wanted to do so the way the six families had stolen it. He stopped thinking about other things that do not contribute to his situation at the moment. He turned around to look behind hi
The leader of the henchmen realised that he was flowing in the sky, yet he didn't know how that has come to be. A second ago, there was a stray young man standing in front of his car. He had tried to run the guy over when all of a sudden, he felt something hit his car. If he was driving through the forest, he would have thought that he had hit a huge tree in his way. But he was driving on a plain and tarred road that divided the forests. He didn't know what to do or think in a situation like this. "Ahhhhh!!!" He let out a piercing scream as the car started descending.The speed of its descent was very much quicker than when it was going into the air. The force was swift and very impounding. Crash!!! The car dove face down into the tarred road with its bonnet. The windscreen shattered, and the shards of glasses flew towards the face of the leader, spraying into the eyes of the fellow. "My eyes. Blood!!" He screamed as he felt the shards sticking into his eyes. He could feel pain
"Tell me Tyq. What brought you to my villa? Curiosity or chance?""I did." A feminine voice called from behind the henchmen. Candyce and Mamita walked into the scene. Candyce was leading the way. "Baby." Lord JK said as soon as he saw his daughter. When Tyq heard Lord JK calling Candyce "baby", he was almost horrified. The only thing he could think of was Candyce being the wife of Lord JK. He had a conflict in his mind which he was struggling with in that moment, but he couldn't really tell if it was the best thing to get occupied with or focus on the present matter at hand. "When did you return?" Lord JK added as Candyce walked to him and hugged him. "Not long ago. We saw him lying on the street and decided to bring him home." Candyce answered, now standing next to her father. Tyq bounced back into reality in that moment. It wasn't the game of guesses anymore. This matter was getting very real and legit. He couldn't continue to disbelief for long. Not even if he wanted to. "Y
The lad didn't stop for a moment as he kept on running after he had pushed the door open. He ran in the wrong hallway and kept on increasing his speed as though his whole life depended on it. Well, for a fact, that was the idea. He felt like his whole life was dwindling in his eyes. He got to the end of the hallway and found that there was nothing in his way but a tall and thick wall. There was no way he was going to break through the wall and smash it into pieces. "What the hell! Why is there no door at the end of this hallway?" He was really confused and worried. He knew for a fact that there was no going back in the direction he had come from. There was a reason he had ran away from that room. What if he was right? What if this people were tricking him to believe that they wouldn't end up harming him? What if they were only looking for a way to make terrible things happen to him but are disguising it as though it was something rather special. "Where is he? Where did he go?" De
Stephen was pacing the foyer to and fro. His head was hot and aching! He was in distress. His entire body was almost in a lock down. At this point, it felt like a part of his body had shut down. Suddenly, he felt an adrenaline surge course through his body. He walked directly to the table and kicked it. The glass table shattered into shards. He walked to another corner of the foyer and broke a few other things. He smashed the TV and continued to cause a havoc until he came to a pause. No matter how much damages he was causing, he realised that his rage didn't subside. It only felt like he was causing himself some financial mischief. Of which he didn't really care about. When he came to a pause, a new idea popped up in his mind. The idea was strange but fresh. His eyes lit up. It would seem like the common phrase that fly around people's lips, 'There's a light at the end of the tunnel'This new thought that he had seemed like the light he has been waiting for at the end of this lon
