"The people didn't get to him. He died in a car accident," Anthony announced."Rather unfortunate," Lucian said calmly although his heart felt a pang of pity. It didn't have to end this way. if only John had shown a little maturity for someone his age maybe the tragedy might have been avoided."I feel sorry for him," Josephine shook her head. "I mean I knew he would meet his end soon, but in such a disgraceful manner?""He had a choice, but choose to fuck it up. It's nobody's fault. I just wish he had a bit more sense," Lucian said.Josephine massaged her forehead. "He didn't even get the dam inheritance he was so obsessed about. I mean, why did he even choose to fight over something like that when he has more than enough wealth in Italy?"Lucian sighed. "He wanted the title or he was just plain jealous. Heaven knows I wanted to hold him off for a little longer but he wasn't backing down,""I wonder how summer is taking the news. She lost her only son," Josephine said. if she was feel

"You need my help?" Irex repeated, his voice almost shaky. "Why would you need my help after all this time? What do I probably have to offer you?"Lucian sighed. "A lot more than you realize,"Irex scoffed. "Is this even believable? Are you kidding me? I'm so surprised that you are here asking for my help when a reality I'm just a pawn to you. None of the people I call friends ever cared,""Have you tried me?" Lucian smiled lightly. "You haven't tested all the fishes in the water, have you, Irex?""I don't need your pity, Lucian," Irex hissed, hating how badly he wanted to break down. Here was an opportunity to finally apologize for his mistakes and be free from this tormenting guilt, yet he couldn't even form his mouth to say the words. How selfish."You are the reason why I'm stuck in here, and worse, you never permitted anyone to visit me. I haven't had a single visitor since I came here. I…it's been so lonely, and when I see other inmates despite being criminals loved and welcomed

"I ask again, why did you kill Mr John? You are a very influential man yet you decided to stoop so low to take someone's life?" The stern-looking detective sat on the chair opposite Lucian questioning him for the past few minutes like one would do a little child.Lucian sat still without a word as his eyes darted around the hot, dark questioning room the police had brought him. Finally, his gaze settled on the detective and he frowned. "Don't you have an air conditioner in here? If that isn't available, perhaps you could turn on the fan. Do you make it a habit to suffocate your suspects to rake out the truth from them? Even innocent ones?"The man didn't find Lucian's words funny, so he stomped his hand hard on the table and glared at him with dangerous eyes. "Now isn't the time for your jokes. Answer my questions,""So I should answer your question why you don't bother to provide a simple response to mine? That's not fair," Lucian pulled his lips into an intruding smile. Even if he f

Lucian didn't say anything, he just stayed at her like he had been compelled to be her listening device. As he looked on, he couldn't help but feel a pang of pity. The loss of John must have really hit her and he almost couldn't imagine the turmoil she was going through."Is that fear I sense?" Summer laughed. "Oh, come on now, isn't it time you bid the games goodbye? You've held on to this inheritance for long, cherishing it as one would a beloved toy but unfortunately, it doesn't belong to you,""Says who?" Lucian crossed his legs. "I'm curious to know who said Howards doesn't belong to me,""Drop your nonsense and hand over the conglomerates already. Isn't it you who said we should respect the dead?"Lucian scoffed, leaning closer. "You don't deserve a shit neither you nor your late son,""And that's why you killed him?" Summer flared, dropping the bombshell. "He didn't deserve to die. He was so young and full of life but you killed him nonetheless,""That's enough," Lucian interru

It was the day of John's funeral and Summer stood in front of his grave dressed in all black. There were tears in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall, not wanting to be a crybaby on a day like this.As she stood, anger brewing inside of her, she thought of how perfect her life used to be before all of this. How she used to run the company single-handedly, parading herself as a reigning queen. How people revered and respected the power she possessed. All of that changed when Lucian came into the picture.And that instance, she almost felt regret for treating him badly, like a nobody, but she told herself not to. Regret was a sign of weakness, and she was far from weak. Even if she had lost her two children because of that bastard, she had to be unyielding.It was what John would want her to do."I'm going to miss you, buddy. Take care of yourself over there for me, alright? I'll do my best to pray for you every day knowing that you are in a better place,"She sat on the bare gra

Irex didn't reply. He just stared at Summer with curious eyes and like an open book, he could see the rage steaming off from her. She was trying so hard to control it, to keep it under control, but how long before she exploded, burning everything and everyone in her path?"You look a lot healthier than the last time we met. Looks like you've been taking your sleep seriously," Summer forced a weak smile.Irex sighed as he settled into the couch, legs crossed. "Before you bore me with your compliments, get me a glass of wine, would you?""With pleasure, honey," Summer chuckled and disappeared into a room. She returned seconds later with a bottle of wine and two glasses. After she had filled the glasses, she crossed her hands and watched him take generous sips."What? Don't stare at me that way or I might choke," Irex frowned. "I'm not your child,""Asshole!" Summer sighed and took up a seat opposite him. "Tell me what you think of my proposition?""If I should agree to work with you, th

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Rose fired after finding her voice. "You had better come to your senses and let me out of here,"Annoyed at how Rose's confident tone made her feel, Summer turned swiftly and landed two hard punches on Rose's nose and as the blood trickled, she laughed in satisfaction. "Now there's the picture I was looking for. When Lucian sees this, he'd come running and begging like a fool,""Wh…what the hell are you trying to achieve from all of this? What…do you…want," Rose stuttered as she coughed."The inheritance, all of Howards, including that damn company you're running. All of that wealth would make me the richest person in the world," She rolled her eyes dreamily. "I can finally avenge my son,"Without warning, Summer hit Rose again on the nose who flinched in pain. "I'm sorry, sweetheart, but your brother is a stubborn one. It'd take a lot to break him,"She positioned the camera on Rose's bloodied face and took a picture which she sent to Lucia

"What the hell did you just do, bastard?!" Summer yelled in apprehension, her voice sounding raw and scratchy.It was Irex's turn to exercise dominion, so he took eager steps toward Summer and stopped when he was an inch away. With his left hand, he flicked off the bead of sweat that had settled on her forehead while staring down at her with mischievous glinting eyes."It is dangerous to be out here on the loose, living with normal people, Summer. You should take your rightful place while it's not too late," He hissed into her ears, and as her body went tense, he smirked. "Yeah, in prison where murderers and sadists are kept,""Fuck you, Irex, fuck you!" Summer pushed him away in panic and made to escape when one of the officers stood in front of her, the cuffs extended forward."Ms. Summer Madison, you're under arrest for…"Summer didn't let the officer complete his sentence before she cursed angrily at Irex. Gosh, if only it were possible to rip him apart from where she stood. The f
