Daniel’s lower part of his face was drenched in his own blood when he finally jerked himself up from the floor. Even the upper part had bleeding marks too, but the lower one seemed to have suffered the most. Actually, he was too scared to stand. He did not want to face another kick or a punch on his almost dismantled face from Jordan. And he was too ashamed to face the faces before him. He was certain that Diana and her mother were basking in the uttermost glee at seeing him being beaten up and humiliated before them. He wished he would never face them again.But they were there, watching it all, and indeed, sure to Daniel’s thoughts, Diana’s smugness could never have been cloaked seeing the man in such a state. It was not like she was even trying to hide it. She wanted her uncle to see just how much she relished watching their tormentor’s downfall. If only her mother had the strength to move a muscle, she would also have joined her daughter in laughing at her brother and mocking him.
“Death!” Jordan spoke.Daniel froze.But everyone in the room did not show any tinge of shock or anything.“Or…”That summoned the three souls’ eyes to Jordan with heavy anticipations of what he was about to say. For Diana, she wished the answer would have remained just one. She was in agreement with Jordan that people like her uncle did not deserve any second chances. With the crimes that Jordan had mentioned, which she and her mother were not aware of, coupled with the fact that he had killed her unborn child, forgiveness was not on her mind. She wanted to be gone, and for good. No one would even have bet that if he was set free, he would never come for revenge again.“Or what?” Daniel asked with curiosity. He wished that there was a better choice than death.“You give everything that you have taken from your sister and her daughter.” Jordan said, assessing the man’s thoughts.Daniel’s heart throbbed with a new ray of hope. His life mattered so much. Besides, he could run away with
“Rest assured that he will never bother you again.” Jordan said.Diana nodded her head. She trusted Jordan. She then went to her mother. Fishing her phone from her handbag, she called an ambulance to come and take her mother to the hospital, while Jordan escorted Daniel to his room to pack his bags. “Wait for me outside," Jordan said to Ana.Getting to the room, they walked in on a carpet of drugs. The room looked like it was where the drugs were manufactured. He did not know what type they were, though. “Sit!” Jordan ordered, and Daniel turned to him with shock.“What? I thought I was going to pack.” He asked in confusion.“It is not necessary. The trip you are taking does not require you to take anything with you.” Jordan said.“What are you talking about? Of course, I need to pack my clothes.” Daniel asked. He thought they had an agreement, but the way Jordan was talking contradicted everything he had told Daniel. It seemed he had some other plan.Just then, a police vehicle stoppe
“Are you okay, boys?” Jordan greeted his men as he and Ana drove in. He parked the car and stepped out with Ana. He walked back to them.“We are fine, boss. How did it go?” The major said.“It went well. Are you all good?” He asked."Yes, we are. Just a bit hungry. We can have shifts now and have our lunch if that is okay with you.” The major said:.“Ooh, no need for that. We can all have lunch here as we plan for tomorrow.” Jordan said.“Are you sure, boss? Can she cook for all of us? We eat like pigs, you know.” The major teased, looking at Ana.Jordan grinned. “No. She is not here for that. But she will order the food for us. You can tell her what you would like to eat and drink, and she will take care of it.” Jordan said.“Okay, so I think some, wait, how much is your budget? We would not want to exceed your budget.” The major said:.“Ooh, come on!” Jordan laughed that off. He added. “Eat as much as you want. Money is not an issue.” He then pulled out his card and handed it to Ana
A convoy left Jordan’s home in the morning, taking less than ten minutes to ascend. Some guards were left behind to guard the house. In the first car, Jordan, Ana, and Mariela sat at the back with Jordan’s personal driver, who was none other than the major behind the wheel.The drive was quiet. No tension at all. It was like something was whispering to them that fate had laid the table of their victory before them.After about twenty minutes, things turned from cool in Jordan’s car to restlessness. Mariela just noticed that no one was asking her for directions. What was worse, the car had veered off in the opposite direction from what she expected. “We missed the direction, guys. This is not the way to boss Elias’ mansion. It is the other route that we have left.” Mariela spoke with restlessness and confusion.“We are on the right route. Keep driving, Major!” Jordan said it
Jordan finally found his way in. Parking at the parking lot, he looked at Ana and Mariela, who was trembling with fear of what lay ahead of her after screwing things up. “Get down," he ordered.Ana got out through the same door with Mariela, keeping watch on her. Now that she knew Mariela had ruined everything, Ana was afraid that she might try to escape them. She walked close to her as they made their way to Jordan. “What do we do with this one?” Ana implored.Jordan looked at Mariel with rage and contempt, while Mariela evaded their gazes as she waited for her case to be decided. Her ears were paying close attention to Jordan as his words made their way to her ears despite the commotion in the busy place. “Nothing, for now. We will keep her beside us until the end of today. I think she needs to see what we do to our enemies so that she can prepare herself for her own punishment.”A cold jounce of fear skint down Mariela’s spine, almost paralyzing her. It seemed that a stark punishme
Jordan turned to Major. “What is the state of your boys?” He asked.“Boss, they said they were able to get in. I just directed them here.” The major responded.Jordan nodded, turning to the officer. “we…” He was just about to speak when a loud noise was heard—screams coming from the direction of the entrance. Immediately, they saw a convoy of speeding cars approaching. They were being driven so recklessly that people had to jump out of the way, causing a very big mess and a loud commotion that disrupted the tranquility of the whole place. Some people even fell into the pools as they feared for their lives.“And here comes the governor himself.” The officer said“What a mannerless moron! The batard does not even have respect for the commoners. How can they drive at such a speed and up to the door of the hotel? What happened to the VVIP parking that he had to endanger people’s lives like this?” Jordan was fuming mad, riled by the reckless actions of the governor.Just then, Jordan’s bo
Jordan looked at the men before him with a flat expression, denoting neither danger nor appreciation of what the men were implying. No word was said, but with a single slight eye gesture, Jordan’s men shut the opposing men down, pulling their bodies to the corner. The move was swift and silent, with the help of the silencers.Jordan signaled some of the men to stand guard outside the entrance, their eyes darting all over the area. He forged forward with Major, the two ladies, and a group of ready-for-war soldiers. Each step Jorda took was fueled by the desire to slit the throats of those people. He forged with long, silent strides, his eyes resembling those of a predator as he crept inside the villa and along the dimly lit hallways. A hint of merriment could be heard within, with the faint sounds of faraway laughter and clinking glasses.They reached the door, and since there were only men left, they took him out in a snap. The door was held open for him.His heartbeat quickened as he
