Sage AthalarI'm sure everyone already guessed that Sophia is Nik's daughter. Who do you think is responsible for keeping this secret? Who lied? Uriel or Connor?

THE ULTIMATE REVENGE OF DON ROCH WHAT WAS HER WISH
NIKAELEON *** It was silent for several seconds as Aina asked me what I intended to do with the truth I had just confirmed. “The truth is, I have no idea.” I said as I stepped away from her embrace and ran a hand through my hair. “That’s okay, this is very shocking, and I understand that it will take a little while to get used to. If you don’t know what to do, then let’s consider the options available.” She said as she leaned on the edge of the desk. I moved to the wall and folded my arms. “Okay, first, you could just step outside right now and show the result to Uriel and Connor, confront them with the truth and see their reaction. Is that what you want to do?” She asked. “No. What will they say? They’ll just lie through their teeth again. It will cause a scandal, and Sophia does not need that type of drama around her life right now when she’s still weak. There’s also the possibility that she will be taken away from me.” I replied to her. “Taken away? Who will take her away? S
THE ULTIMATE REVENGE OF DON ROCH PROPOSITION
NIKAELEON***Now that I know I have a daughter, a child that needs to be safe to grow and have a happy childhood, my need to obliterate the Black Knight became more acute. Aina was quiet as we were being driven back to the mansion and I could tell that she was trying to guess what Sophia had told me because I didn’t tell her. I really hoped that Uriel and Connor would not be able to force Sophia to tell them what our little secret is. I only hoped that she wanted her present badly enough to remain quiet about it. She knew that her parents would not grant her request, and she hopes for me to give her what she wants. Because of that, I would make sure not to fail her so she would learn that I keep my word, and she could trust me. If I told Aina what Sophia asked of me, she would try to dissuade me from the plan that I was already formulating.“What are you thinking about so deeply?” Aina finally asked.“We have a lot of problems that need solutions, don’t we?” I responded with a questi
THE ULTIMATE REVENGE OF DON ROCH PUTTING THINGS IN MOTION
NIKAELEON***I nearly choked on the wine I had just taken a sip of when Aina asked me if I wanted to join her in her bed. It was only when I looked at her and saw the amused smile on her face that she was trying to hide that I realised that she was just joking with me. Instead of saying no like she no doubt expected me to, I decided to play with her a little. I downed the last of the wine in the cup, dropped the glass on the table and stood.“I wouldn’t mind some company actually, it’s been a long day, and it seems like it will be a cold night. And like you said, your bed is big enough for two, we can keep ourselves warm all night.. ” I said as I walked towards her with an impassive expression.Unlike the amused smile on her face that she couldn’t hide, and which let me know that she had just been trying to pull my legs, my expression and posture gave no indication that I was also doing the same to her. Her eyes widened and she blinked in surprise that I accepted her offer, now she d
THE ULTIMATE REVENGE OF DON ROCH IMPARTIAL
NIKAELEON***The next morning, I got up early to work out in my gym, then I got dressed for work even though it wasn’t time to leave yet. I moved to my study and called to have a cup of coffee and a light breakfast delivered to me by the house staff. I checked my emails, and was handling some paper work on my desk before someone knocked on my door and requested entry. I recognised his voice.“Come in.” I said to him as I drank the last liquid in my coffee cup.As Manolo opened the door and stepped in, he was fully dressed. At least someone else but me was a morning person in this house. Marcel hardly ever gets up early unless there’s something really important to do. Aina wakes up early sometimes, but she always looks like morning offends her by coming too fast and not letting her sleep more.“You’re already working.” He said as he stepped into my home office.I didn’t reply because it was obvious that I was working, he was making a statement not asking a question.“Have a seat.” I

NIKAELEON***“Armando, any news?” I asked him.He was about to speak but instead of words, he yawned.“Sorry.” He apologised with a mortified expression and a flushed face.“You’ve been working all night and you’re tired, that’s understandable. Did you find anything useful?” I inquired.“I was able to decode two more messages but they make no sense. They’re using words that people who aren’t part of the organisation won’t understand. In both messages, they talked about a decoy, and then a main sail.” He replied to me as he tapped buttons on his laptop.He turned the laptop towards me so I could read the message.The first one read… ‘Decoy may take off. Main sail, two days to finalise. Stand down.’The second message read… ‘Main sail, under suspicion. Venue moved, Decoy must fly. Be ready.’I passed the laptop along to the others so they could read it too.“This makes absolutely no sense.” Aina said as it got to her.“I think that’s the point. It’s another security measure just in ca
THE ULTIMATE REVENGE OF DON ROCH PHASE TWO; AINA'S BOARD
NIKAELEON***The first thing I did when I got into the car was turn off my personal phone. I still had work to do on my office phone and there was no need to turn it off as well because Uriel didn’t have this number. For my plan to work, she shouldn’t be able to contact me until I am ready. Of course, there were other variables that could go wrong and not follow my plan.For example, she could search up my office number if she was desperate enough, and try to contact me that way. She would have no one else to talk to about the news of Connor’s infidelity but me. She didn’t have friends, not really, most rich people don’t, we usually have acquaintances and business partners and people that pretend to be close just so they can get something from us. Anyone she calls now will probably pretend to sympathise with her and then gossip about her situation behind her back.Also, if Connor returned to the hospital today, it would make my plan harder to execute. But I doubt he would be able to

NIKAELEON***“What is the meaning of this? Why is he here? This is a private board meeting.” Mr Austin, the acting head of the board of directors since Aina’s father died, asked Aina as we both walked into the conference room where the board meeting was being held.Aina just smiled at the man and ignored his question.“The board meeting was supposed to start in about eight minutes. Why have you all commenced without me?” Aina asked sweetly even though I knew that she was angry because they were already trying to undermine her position.The man straightened in his seat at the head of the table.“A memo was sent to reschedule the time for the meeting. We started forty five minutes ago.” The man replied dismissively, making it clear that her presence was more of a nuisance.“I never received a memo like that, but that’s a different matter. The meeting shouldn’t have been rescheduled without my consent in the first place, Mr Austin. Or have you forgotten my new position? In fact, I belie
THE ULTIMATE REVENGE OF DON ROCH TELLING HER THE PLAN
NIKAELEON***I think your board members may be more annoying than mine.” I told Aina as all of us got into the elevator headed for the ground floor.She laughed at that.“Boys? Really?” Troy, the head of this security team said to Aina.“Everyone here is older than you, hope you know that.”She just laughed even harder.“Calling you boys just sounded so much better, it’s a movie thing but you’re too old to know that.” She teased him and he chuckled.“The man wearing two gold wrist watches probably peed on himself when I stood close to him, the woman seated next to him nearly fainted as she saw my gun.”“That was the point.” Aina replied with a wink. After getting out of the elevator, the employees hanging around gawked at us as we walked to the entrance. The news of Aina’s presence in her company, and me accompanying her would have gotten out to the media by now but there was nothing to be done about that. The security team with me weren’t just here to scare the living daylights out

EPILOGUE
EPILOGUE *** NIKAELEON * I thought I understood nervousness when I was about to get married, or fear when Aina had been held at gun point, none of that compared to the feeling of watching my child being born. Aina and I had already agreed before hand that I would be inside while she was giving birth. She needed my support because this was her first birth, and I wanted to watch , it would help me treasure her sacrifice to have our babies. Yes, babies. It seemed Sophia's prayer for a brother and sister came to pass. We found out we were having twins when we went for a late ultrasound scan. She screamed as another contraction hit her and her grip on my hand almost crushed my bones but I just stroked her hair with my other hand. "I don't think I can do this anymore." Aina sobbed and my heart broke for her. I wish I could take her pain away even if just a little bit and I hated being so helpless because at this point, there was nothing I could do for her. "Just a little bit more, Mr

THE END
NIKAELEON *** I never expected to be nervous today. It was usual to be nervous when you’re getting married, but I didn’t expect to be nervous, I expected to go through it calmly like I usually did everything in my life. Instead, I was fidgety, checking my reflection in the mirror a hundred times even though I looked perfect physically. “You look great, son. Stay still before you make a hole in the floor with your pacing.” My father chuckled as he walked into my room. “I don’t know why I’m even nervous. I was fine yesterday.” I said to him as I adjusted my tie again. “I was the same way when I married your mother. A lot of people no longer value marriage, but it’s supposed to be sacred. A lifelong vow of commitment to the one person you choose to live the rest of your life with. And you love her, you’re afraid of making a mistake and ruining what you both have.” I was about to protest and tell my father that this marriage was just an arrangement, after all, as a mafia boss, love w

WEEKS LATER
NIKAELEON *** It has been weeks since Connor was arrested along with the leaders of the Black Knights. Some other lower ranked members had also been apprehended these past weeks. Connor and the leaders had already been tried in court and sentenced to life imprisonment. The others were still awaiting trial but it didn’t matter, they were just pawns, the main players were already in jail. Last I heard, Connor had been nearly paralysed and had to be hospitalised for almost two weeks. I had no sympathy for him and neither did the government, he was still sent back to prison on crutches to continue living with his assailants. My revenge on him was complete. Uriel had also been tried for illegal possession of a firearm and threatening people’s lives with it, but she hadn’t been sent to jail because I didn’t press charges to add to these ones. She was on house arrest for a year, with community service and court ordained therapy. I went to visit her occasionally so she could video call Soph

THE TRAP
NIKAELEON***A FEW DAYS LATER*The courtroom buzzed with tension as the arguments echoed through the room, each side presenting their case for Sophia's custody. It was Manolo’s turn to speak now."Your Honor, We have substantial evidence to establish that Ms. Uriel is mentally unstable and unfit to provide a stable and nurturing environment for Sophia. We also have expert testimonies from qualified mental health professionals who have evaluated Ms. Uriel and have concluded that her mental state poses a risk to the well-being of the child."We gave the court a video clip from the security footage from the mansion showing the moment Uriel had grabbed Sophia roughly after Sophia announced that she was having a sibling. There was no sound because it was CCTV, but it was evident that Uriel was being aggressive to Sophia. That was enough to help our case.Uriel's lawyer countered with equal enthusiasm.“Your Honor, I assure you that my client is mentally sound. Those reports were taken wh

ANOTHER CALL
NIKAELEON***“I know what you’re going to say, Aina. You want me to release them without punishment, but I can’t do that. Yes, I know they’re in love and no one is above mistakes, I also know that this crime isn’t as bad as it would have been if he had been the traitor.” I said to her as we stepped out of the interrogation room and began to walk towards the back entrance to the house.“If you know, then why can’t you just release them?” She asked.“I’m sure you already know why. I set my rules for a reason, and if someone breaks any of my rules, no matter how justified they are, there has to be a consequence or no one will respect my rules. That’s why there are laws, and prison is the consequence if those laws are broken.”“Can’t you make an exception just this once? She’s pregnant, Nik.” She said and I sighed.“I’m not sending them away if that’s what you think. For their own good and mine. If they aren’t here, they’ll be easy to kill by my enemies or captured and tortured for infor

MARIA
NIKALEOEN***“Fine. You can come along. But don’t interfere.” I said to her and the look she gave me said she would definitely interfere.“Don’t interfere too much.” I acquiesced with a sigh and she smiled.“And you better not cry.” I said to her and she huffed.“I’m not a baby.”As much as I wanted her by my side, I knew the path that lay ahead would test the limits of her resolve. "I never said you were a baby, Aina, this won't be easy. I may have to resort to violent means, and I may do things you may not approve. I don’t want you to resent me for it and begin to see me as some kind of monster. I really don't want you to witness what might transpire in that interrogation room. It could get ugly." I admitted.“I’ve always known there is a dark side of you, Nik. And I’ve made my peace with it. I know you don’t just go about torturing or hurting people on a whim or for fun, and when you do anything, it’s for a reason. I won’t blame you for anything you do today, you’re trying to pro

STUBBORN
NIKAELEON***“And I also wanted to apologise for the scene I caused, it wasn’t my intention to let Sophia know that you’re my baby’s father. I just wanted to get her mind off seeing you both fighting so I told her I was having a baby and showed her the sonogram. When she asked me who the baby’s father was, I just replied without thinking and then she bolted out here to tell you before I could stop her.” Aina explained.“It’s fine. I know you didn’t have an ulterior motive for telling her, and I could see the look on your face when she ran here with the sonogram, I knew it was just a mistake and I don’t blame you for it. In fact, I think I’m relieved, I’ve been thinking of a way to tell Sophia that she would have a sibling soon, wondering how she would react. Now I know that I was just worried for nothing.” I replied to her.“Yeah, she’s so excited to be a big sister. She has already told me in detail all the things she plans to do, and by the way, she says she wants two siblings, one

ANOTHER SUSPECT
AINA***I led Sophia away and she followed me, her tiny hand clutching onto me tightly.I took her to my room and sat down on the bed with her in my lap. I put her small hand on my tummy.“I have a baby in my tummy now.” I said and her eyes widened in surprise and childish delight.“You swallowed a baby?” She asked incredulously and I burst into startled laughter.“Oh! Heavens no! I can’t swallow a baby, I’m not a cannibal. The baby is growing in my tummy.” I said to her and there was a look of childish wonder in her eyes.“Babies grow in tummies? I thought they were sent from heaven by storks, I watched that in a cartoon. All the animals were on a train and when it was time for them to have babies, the birds carried the babies in white cloth and dropped them off one by one in the mummy and daddy’s cages.” Sophia said and I laughed again.I definitely wasn’t having the talk on where babies come from with her. It had been awkward when my own mother had ‘the talk’ with me, and I wasn’t

ANOTHER SURPRISE VISIT
NIKAELEON***“We need to talk, Nik. That’s why I’m here.” She replied to me and I nearly chuckled at the audacity she had to show up at my house to demand an audience with me.“We have nothing to talk about, Uriel. Or rather, I have nothing to talk about with you even though you may have something to say. I have no interest, nor do I have the time or patience to listen to whatever nonsense you want to say to me. So leave before I have you arrested for trespassing.” I said to her.“You can’t do that.” She said and I scoffed.“You have no idea what I’m capable of, Uriel. I suspect it’s the reason why you dare defy me so often.” I said to her. “If the police come, I’ll just tell them that I came to see Sophia and you denied me entrance. It will look bad on you while the custody case is still being deliberated on by the court.” She said.I was about to tell her to go fuck herself when Aina put a hand on my forearm. I turned to look at her and she didn’t need to speak to communicate her
