Tenfold Retribution Chapter 23: Shadows Moving in the Dark
Mark Eldwolf sat in his private study nursing a drink and staring out at his city as dawn broke. Since the cruiser party where Rick had humiliated him, publicly, his once calm demeanour had become more and more volatile. It haunted him with the memory of being struck in front of his peers, the memory of watching his carefully built business deal collapse. Rick was beneath him, he had worked too hard to be brought down by him.He gripped the glass in his hand and shattered it. The pain didn’t bother him and blood dripped down his knuckles. His thoughts were only of revenge.A voice from behind him said, “Sir.”His bloodshot eyes narrowed at the man who had just come in. Lucas was his right hand man, just as ruthless as Mark, but much more calculating... Without flinching, Lucas took in the sight of Mark’s bleeding hand.His voice was steady, “Rick has aligned himself with the Black Viper Syndicate,” Lucas told him.He looked at Mark’s eyes widen and a cruel smile stretched across his f
Tenfold Retribution Chapter 24: The Flames of War
The soft hum of the city beneath him barely registering, Rick stood in his office staring out of the window. His world had gone into turmoil, events of the past few days, and the alliance with the Black Viper Syndicate had made it only worse. Rick knew Mark’s retaliation had to be coming soon, and it was not going to be pretty. The fire burning inside him just wouldn't be extinguished. This was now or never, the stakes were higher than ever.Behind him stood Charles, his loyal butler, with a newspaper folded under his arm. His brow was knitted and worry seemed carved into his face. "We’ve been told the fire at the hotel was no accident, Rick."His jaw tightened and he clenched his fists. “Who’s responsible?”Charles cleared his throat, hesitated. “The Ghost. He’s working with Damian.”At the mention of Damian’s name, Rick’s eyes tightened.“What do we know about The Ghost?” Turning to face Charles, Rick asked.Charles replied, “Very little. He’s an elusive guy. He’s a master of assass
Tenfold Retribution Chapter 25: Broken Shields
Heavens only knew what the blast sounded like, but Rick’s estate was destroyed like a thunderclap, making for chaos in the dark. Glass rained down, furniture went crashing across the room, and the explosion was felt. The breath was knocked out of him, and Rick was thrown against the wall already on high alert. His ears rang, the world spun wildly, for a moment.“Laura!” He shouted and panic seized his chest. Shouting past the haze of smoke and dust, he staggered to his feet. His mind was focused on one goal, and his instincts kicked in, he had to find his family.Charles was already racing down the hallway. “This way, sir!” His old voice strong from the calamity, he called over the chaos, 'I’ll check the east wing, you take the west!'Rick nodded and ran toward the west wing where Laura and Elvis were. A mix of fear and fury had him up and running forward as his heart pounded furiously in his chest. Damian, Mark, The Ghost had crossed a line, and whoever had done this was now at war.
Tenfold Retribution Chapter 26: Unraveling Shadows
The smoke had begun to fog the air inside the estate, the tension suffocating, the smoke mixing with the fear that hung over it. The Ghost’s lifeless body was on the ground and Rick was standing over his unconscious body, his questions and an impending doom all happening in his head. Rick knew that this was just a taste of what was to come, Charles had disarmed the detonator.Laura held their child tightly, glanced at Rick, eyes wide in fear and worry, and cautiously made her way towards Rick. “Rick, what’s happening? They wouldn’t leave us alone,” I asked. Her voice quaked, but she tried to stay calm for Elvis as the terror in her eyes was unmissable.Rick’s jaw clenched, his fists still trembling from the adrenaline of the fight, he turned toward her. I don’t know, but we’re not safe here anymore. It was supposed to send a message.” He looked at The Ghost, lying on the floor, a reminder that danger was too close.Charles, nearby, adjusted his suit and looked unreadable. “Sir, I’ve
Tenfold Retribution Chapter 27: The Unseen Threat
The message on his phone stared back at Rick’s heart, pounding, like a dark omen. He didn't hesitate a moment, taking off to the control room of the bunker where the security monitors were set up. Right behind him came Charles, grim but ready.Laura knew they were in a hurry and scooped Elvis up in her arms and ran after them. Rick was tense and she could tell something terrible was about to happen.Rick’s hands flew across the keyboards, bringing up the live feeds from the estate and around it. They felt safe for the past few hours in the bunker, but the feeling of safety was melting away quickly now.“Where are the other cameras outside?” His anxiety grew with each second and he switched between feeds, muttering to himself.Behind him, Charles stood beside him and his eyes were trained on the monitors. “They’re all intact, sir. No signs of interference. Or is this another way to throw us off balance?”Just as Rick started to respond, one of the screens flickered, and a brief flicker
Tenfold Retribution Chapter 28: The Unfolding Storm
The police cars in the distance had flashing lights, and Rick knew better than to hope on chance. The authorities approaching didn’t seem to faze the masked attackers closing in, and the steely focus of the masked attackers on him suggested there was more to come. Now, Rick had been backed into too many corners to let his guard down.“Stay low!” Laura and Elvis were barked at by Rick, who pushed them further behind a large tree trunk, his voice a tense whisper. Charles took out his weapon, reloading quickly.Charles looked between the figures coming from the treeline and the far off police cars, and muttered, 'We can't take them all on. They’re not here to negotiate.”Rick gritted his teeth. “They’re here to ensure I don’t walk away from this.”He wasn’t wrong. The men in black were moving efficiently and in unison. These weren't thugs, these were professionals; they were probably sent by one of the many powerful enemies Rick had made while away. There was no shortage of candidates,
Tenfold Retribution Chapter 29: Shadows Closing In
Rick gritted his teeth at the rumble of collapsing tunnels, and twisted metal, struggling to pry the door open. Every pull strained his muscles, but the door wouldn’t budge. Dust and debris filled the air, each breath became heavier with each passing minute.“We need to move!” He groaned, pressing his hand on the cut on his forehead. “They can’t hold much longer.”Rick was trembling behind Laura, clutching Elvis to his chest. She looked like she was about to start panicking, the seriousness of the situation weighing in on her eyes.Rick tried to force a calm expression and turned to them. “Stay with me. Always, there’s another way out.”Doubt crept into his mind even while he said it. The tunnels had been compromised far worse than he’d expected, and the attackers had them cornered. They knew every inch of the estate’s hidden pathways, whoever was behind this. No, they weren’t just random destruction—they wanted him and his family dead.Charles wincing as he pushed himself up, said, '
Tenfold Retribution Chapter 30: Unseen Threats
As Rick, Laura, Elvis, and Charles continued in the underground chambers, there were a thousand thoughts running through Rick's mind. It was well beyond a family dispute; it was an attack on their lives. It wasn’t just the Eldwolf family’s greed. But there were large forces behind it that didn't want to be fully seen, waiting for the right time to take their shot.Everybody could hear it, their hearts pounded with every step as Laura held Elvis close. Rick’s face remained stone-like, determined.The weight of all the secrets was pressing down on all of them and they had to get out—now.Charles whispered, his voice just as raspy as his wounds. He pointed at an unmarked passage at the far end of the chamber. “Behind here is a hidden exit. In the city’s early days, it was used for smuggling. I hope it’ll get us out safely."His instincts were screaming that something wasn’t right but Rick nodded. The air was so tense one almost couldn't breathe, the halls were way too quiet. He knew they
