2023-12-09 12:00:17Finally, Mrs. De’Luka broke the silence with a peal of hysterical laughter that reverberated throughout the entire mansion. However, the laughter did not last for long after she realized the joke that was tickling her was not a joke at all. The cold face of Jordan cut his laughter off.
“You both must be kidding. What makes you think you have the right to lay your filthy hands on our multibillion-dollar fortune, huh?” She then turned to Ana and spoke with a bitter, mocking sarcasm. “Ooh, I can guess. You still think you are the De’Luka princess? Your empty head and greedy soul tell you that you are still the sole heir of the De’Luka fortune. Well, surprise, surprise! You kissed goodbye to fortune the minute you aligned yourself with this nobody. We disowned you, and so there is nothing for you here. Not even a cent! Get your stinking selves out of my house!” She howled the last part, pointing her finger at the door. A ges

“What a surprise! The prodigal daughter decided to come and visit me. Wow! What happened?” Mr. De’Luka spoke the moment he saw Ana and Jordan.“I came to see how the jail is treating you, De’Luka. How is your new home?” Ana said.“Don’t rejoice too much. I do not know why my lawyer is taking so long to get me out of this disgusting cell, but I will get out soon enough. I think I should replace that incompetent fool.” De’Luka said.Jordan smirked. He had everything planned out. The man was unknowingly in for the shock of his life.Just then, the lawyer showed up, looking so worried. Beads of sweat could be seen dripping from his face as he approached. “Why do you look like this, Francis? Is it not enough that you are failing in the job that I am paying you so handsomely for that you now have to show up here looking like this? What the hell is the matter with you? Is there a ghost chasing after you or what?” De’Luka asked. He was fuming mad at the poor lawyer.“There is fire in the moun

“But your wife did. She is your next of kin, and according to the law, if one is not in a position to make a decision, then their next of kin has all the right to do so. Your wife handed me everything that you owed to me.” Jordan said.“My wife? That woman knows me very well. She wouldn’t dare do this to me.” He stated.“Not when at gunpoint, De’Luka! But you have such a weak wife. All I did was just show her the gun, and then boom! She was on her knees, begging me to hand her the papers to sign. And now, De’Luka, you are looking at the new owner of the De’Luka empire! You have not even a single cent on your fucking name because I have taken it all from you!” Jordan said so boldly.“You had no ri."“No right?” Jordan cut him off. “And you think you had any fucking right to kill my family?” Jordan roared.

“Excuse me, may I know where the bathroom is, please?” Ana spoke to one of the girls. It was about eight at night. She needed to make that call now.“It’s…wait, how come you don’t know where the bathrooms are? I also don’t think I have seen you around here either.” The lady, whose name Ana did not know, stated. Her eyes were scanning Ana from head to toe suspiciously.“Yes, I am new. Today is my first day here.” Ana lied boldly. The success of the mission lay with her. She could not afford to screw things up that early. She did not want to fail Jordan.“Ooh, I see. Take the right turn, then turn left at the far end of the corridor. And hurry, because we don’t entertain laziness here. The clients are too many tonight, and we must serve them all.” The lady spoke sternly.“Sure. I will be quick.” Ana said that and headed off in the direction she was shown.On the other hand, some meters away from the brothel, Jordan was anxiously waiting to hear from Ana. He wondered whether their plan t

“You all can hand her over to me now. I will take care of her.” Mr. Hussein said this when they reached his private room.“Yes, boss!” His goons responded as they handed Ana to him. “We will be out here in case you need anything, sir.” The head of his bodyguards spoke.He turned to them. “You all know that I don’t like people snooping around when I am having a good time. Make yourselves useful by attending to the clients who came for the drug business in the basement.” He said“Yes, boss. Excuse us!” They excused themselves while the man pulled Ana inside.Jordan took out his guns and walked to the gate. He wanted to see Ana as soon as possible and make sure that she was safe. He could never forgive himself if anything bad happened to the poor girl. Walking in would have been so easy since the brothel was open to anyone, especially if
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS NOT DEAD
Mr. Osman was busy assessing the lifeless bodies of his bodyguards as they swam in the pools of blood. He thought he had the best battalion of trained boduguards whom he had trained so well, equipped them with high-quality guns, and fed them well. He was so furious that they were all gunned down by just one person, whom he shot to death all alone.“Boss, please help me, boss!” One of the remaining bodyguards, who was still breathing through the pain, begged.Mr. Osman was so furious. Instead of helping him, he pulled out his gun and finished him off. He even added more bullets to some who were already dead and killed the two or three who were still battling to stay alive. “I have no business with useless fools!” He cursed furiously as he turned around.Ana was kneeling beside the seemingly lifeless body of Jordan. Her face was drenched in tears. The sensation of the tears against her sore cheeks made more tears flow, making her eyes two pools of tears. Mr. Osman had given her a good b
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS THE MYSTERIOUS MAN
“Are you alright?” Jordan responded.‘He can speak too?’ Ana’s mind spun another degree with shock. Everything was clogging her mind in a way that she deemed too good to be true.Jordan stood erect before her eyes, bold and stainless. Seemingly to Ana, some magic had closed up all the gun wounds that had taken his life just a minute ago. There was no trace of even a scar on his flawless body. How could there be fresh scars when there was not even a tiny trace of blood on his clothes?Ana still remained stunned by the miracle that stood so raw before her. She wanted so much to go hug him, but the fear of learning that he probably was a ghost planted her feet firm on the ground, her body shaking with a combo of disbelief, hope, and confusion."He... what kind of man is he? No one could have survived all those bullets.” One of the girls who had witnessed everything spoke as they came out of their hiding places under the tables to witness the live resurrection before them.“Forget the bul

“ I know your wife is your next of kin. If you don’t sign these papers, I will not spare you this pain you are feeling right now and rip your head off with bullets. I will stay with you here torturing you untill you breathe your last. I will then go straight to your wife and explain all the dirty laudry you have been doing to her and your chidren. I am sure they will be divasted. They will never forgive you even in your grave, that is if they will even want to see your dead body. She might even decide to hand me everything willingly, but if she plays hard, I will force her into signing these papers and I wont care whether she or the children gets hurt.” Jordan spoke.“You are such a cunning son of a bitch!” The man fired. He had kept his shady deeds a top secret from his family. They were christians. There was no way they would forgive him if they learned the truth, and he didn’t want them to have bad memories of him after he
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS CELL CRASH
Jordan looked like a real criminal in handcuffs as they arrived at the station. Ana, too, was cuffed. They were dragged into the police room. Inside, they found Jordan’s lawyer, Officer Adamson, and Mr. Jonathan waiting inside.“Jordan!” Mr. Jonathan spoke in an attempt to reach Jordan, but the police officers who had brought him in stopped him.“You are not allowed to go near the culprit, sir! Please keep your distance.” One officer spoke.Jordan remained quiet as he was escorted to his cell, where Officer Adamson took the honor. He would have wanted so much to plead with the officers to let Ana go, but he knew it was all useless. She was accused of being his accomplice.“We will sort this out with your lawyer, Jordan. Don’t worry about it. Everything will be fine.” Officer Adamson said to Jordan as he ushered him to the cell where the detained criminals were singing hails and swinging their tails in ecstasy for gaining a new member. They were so good at molesting, so seeing a newbie

THE GREAT ENDING OF A NOBODY
Three months later!Anticipation and enthusiasm surrounded the grand opening ceremony as it took place. In addition to officially opening The Rivers Group of Martial Arts' newest location, the ribbon-cutting ceremony signified the end of a journey that had passed through darkness and emerged into the light of mutual empowerment and progress.Jordan stood proudly in front of the assembly and spoke to them. "Our slogan stands true today as it did when we started: The Rivers Group of Martial Arts is not just a school to teach martial arts, but a community for empowerment and growth, both as a community and individually." His statements reverberated with authenticity, capturing the spirit of their group's objective."And so, ladies and gentlemen, here I present to you the last, as of now, branch of The Rivers Group of Martial Arts." Jordan handed the scissors to Ana, symbolizing the transition from the shadows of the past to the bright possibilities of the future. As Ana cut the ribbon, t

THE ASTONISHING BRAVERY
The following day, Ana woke up in his old home, the De’luka mansion. Ricotchetting her eyes. Memories lingered—a combo of both good and bad memories. She had slept off there with her entire crew to prepare for the burial.“Are you ready? You can stay back if you want. I will bring the body here.” Jordan said, giving her a morning hug after strolling into her room.Ana sampled everything that Jordan’s body was bleeding on her—the solace, the heat, the comfort. Everything. She appreciated his comfort and his gesture. She then pulled away, and Jordan kept her hands in his. “I appreciate this, Jordan, but I have to do this.”“Are you really sure?” Jordan emphasized."Come on, Jordan! Do I look like I am showing signs of a mental breakdown or something? I am perfect. Besides, you and I know the story behind this man. I'm all good.” She said.Jordan nodded his head. “Alright. I never said that you were about to break down, by the way. I know you are strong. Even more than I am.”‘Yeah, yeah

BAD NEWS
“I guess so. We can all say that.” The officer affirmed.A few chatters filled the room for a long time. Who would have thought that a once vigilante group could be saluted by the government, huh?Jordan cleared his voice, speaking to the officer, although everyone was keen. “Whether the government recognizes me or not, I don’t care. But I know how much you loved your job. I also know that you like it, and it is my hope that you have no regrets whatsoever for those few days that you and your boys have been members of this family. I want you to know that I cannot hold you back. If they want to give you back your position, please don’t feel obliged to remain with us. You deserve that position.”Officer Adamson looked at Jordan with so much appreciation and gratitude. “Regrets? What is there to regret about being part of this great community, Jordan? I felt honored that I was lucky to have a chance to meet you all and to partake in your just missions. But, like you said, I feel the need

THE PROGRESS OF THE GROUP
The group, which had now become a family, pushed itself into the audacious project of opening martial arts schools in the following weeks, their unwavering dedication transforming dreams into concrete accomplishments. With incredible vigor, resolve, and a sense of purpose that permeated each movement they took, Jordan's vision came to life in that brightly illuminated room.Securing a central location for their flagship martial arts school was the crew's initial action. They converted a large warehouse, which had previously served as a symbol of corruption, into a center for empowerment, training, and discipline after extensive reconnaissance and planning sessions. When they held their first courses, the sound of kicks and swishing-trained moves filled the air inside those walls.With her excellent organizational abilities, Sarah oversaw the administrative side, making sure that all licenses, registrations, and marketing campaigns were completed. She proved to be the mainstay of the o

THE FATE OF THE GROUP
As the soft hues of morning began to seep through the windows, the room, once ablaze with celebration, now held a serene stillness. Jordan and his crew, draped in the comforting shadows of a night well spent, found themselves resting on makeshift seats, their weariness a testament to the battles fought and won.The sunlight painted a gentle tableau, revealing the subtle lines of fatigue etched on each face. Yet, amidst the quietude, a sense of unity prevailed. Jordan, observing the camaraderie that had evolved in the past hours, felt a renewed purpose bubbling within him. This wasn't just a crew; they were a band of individuals who had weathered storms together and emerged stronger.Looking at Major, he knew that he had a question to tackle. They looked somehow confused about what to do next, and he knew he owed them an explanation, at least for the sake of their sanity. He remembered how he and Major’s group became participants. Initially, they were just his hired bodyguards, but ove

CELEBRATING VICTORY
‘‘Huuu!” Noises crackled in the house of Jordan as the members heaved out their tiredness, sampled in the aura of victory, and rested their weapons on the tables as they took their seats. It was almost 4 in the morning, but the night echoed with sounds for the next few hours. Their faces were smeared with soot and sweat from the tough battle they had fought and, by God’s grace, won.“This calls for a big celebration!” Jordan spoke, pulling Ana beside him as he rested on his signature seat of authority. “Mariela? Could you make us something delicious for us?”Mariela nodded in agreement. “After emerging triumphant, you all deserve a special treat. I had made arrangements before we left. I will be back in a sec.”They all made sweet sounds of appreciation that sent Mariela off to the kitchen with a smile on her face.Soon enough, she was making hasty back-and-forth tours to and from the kitchen with trays of mouthwatering shawarmas. Then the drinks followed, and everyone wanted nothing

THE SENSE OF VICTORY
As Jordan and his group crouched in the shadows, staring at the far-off warehouse where the covert conflict had taken place, the night sky hung thick with an oppressive still. An overwhelming feeling of unease permeated the air as they anticipated reaching the pinnacle of their unwavering quest for justice.Abruptly, a menacing gleam illuminated the horizon, illuminating Jordan's team members' features with elongated shadows. From the warehouse, flames shot up, licking the darkness with an abysmal embrace. The blast echoed through the still air like a mighty cry of vengeance.Jordan clinched his hands and tensed his jaw, watching the conflagration with a bleak determination mixed with joy. The warehouse collapsed under the weight of its own secrets; it had previously been a center of corruption and dishonesty. His transgressors were being burned into charred souls. He could imagine them weeping in pain as the wildfire mercilessly devoured them.Jordan whispered, "That's it," his voice

NO DEAL
“Names? What names, Jordan?” Mr. Elias asked in confusion.Jordan, with a steely gaze, had no time to waste. He needed to get to the heart of the issue as fast as he could. His voice was firm as he spoke. "The names of your supporters. The high-ranking officials who are protecting."The alliance members exchanged uneasy glances, a palpable scent of impending doom slapping at their nostrils. How could they comply with Jordan's request? Revealing the identities of those wielding formidable power felt like signing their own death warrants. And death was what they were trying to escape by all means. How could they negotiate for survival and sell themselves to the devil in the same way?“Jordan, please understand that we cannot do that. It is too dangerous for us. Besides, why do you want the names?” Mr. Elias replied, attempting to mask the tension in his voice.Jordan's eyes narrowed, his frustration bubbling beneath the surface. "I need those names to expose the corruption that is eatin

NEGOTIATIONS
Jordan looked at Elias and his meanness. He could read through their minds. He knew exactly what they wanted. And he loved their stupidity.Elias gazed at Jordan and spoke with a stern voice without a single tinge of wavering in it. “You are wiser than this, Jordan. I know you know what I mean.”Jordan shook his head and read a memo that said, ‘I know, but I want to hear that crap from your stinking mouth itself’! “No! Please enlighten me, Elias! I might be getting carried away.” Jodan spoke.Elias even managed to smirk, even though he could not tell whether Jordan was toying with his mind or not. He spoke. "Jordan, all I am suggesting is that we can settle this amicably. You don’t have to betray your noble parents by becoming a bloody murderer. Well, if it is revenge that you want, your parents are gone, and you can’t bring them back. Don’t even kill us. I have got something that will surely interest you."Jordan, unmoved, eyed Elias with a steely gaze, his expression portraying no
