Henry kept hissing all the way home. He regretted hoping that Elena would choose him. He regretted thinking that they had something together now. Something Danny the overfed adult baby would not touch or could not. Left alone for him, he would smack that idiot out of this planet. But then Elena was still old Elena. Ruled but one thing and one thing only: money.“Good evening boss” henry turned to find the butler smiling at him. He hadn’t seen the old man since he got back from Russia. He had been told the man was down with some sickness.“Hello” Henry smiled. “I see you are doing okay now” henry looked him from top to bottom. Not even a single one of his clothes were out of line. It was like he never left.“Yes, Mr. Barlow” the old man smiled. “I am glad and happy you came back in one piece” Henry chuckled. “Yeah, you can say that again” then he stopped smiling as soon as he remembered Elena.

Henry's eyes blazed with fury through the dimly garden. "Dammit, Jackson, do you have any idea what's been going on here? While I was handling business in Russia, you let things slip!"Jackson stood across from him, his usual calm demeanor strained by Henry's accusation. He didn’t look an inch like one that had blood gushing from his lips. He wiped his mouth and turned to Henry. "I did everything I could, Henry. Things got out of hand, but I've been trying to fix it." The last thing he expected was being questioned like some thief. Henry paced the garden and sat by the concrete seat. Then Henry shot up from the seat, walking over to Jackson. "Fix it? Two of our own turned against us, set a trap! And you didn't see it coming?" The fight between Damian and Marco, the trap set by the rival gang to get them... it's all on you."Jackson's eyes narrowed. "That wasn't my fault. Vinnie and Marco have always been hotheads. And the rival gang was just looking for an opportunity to strike when

That would be the end of her. “Ouch!” she yelled in pain as her legs was caught in a between two sharp branches. She struggled to free herself from its grip but all her efforts were going to vain.“There she is!” She turned to hear them charging towards her. Her heart sink as she kept struggling.

As soon as Hercules and Ruby walked past the gate that night, ruby sighed.“Hey babe, what is wrong?” Hercules questioned. Ruby plastered a big smile on her face. She was happy she agreed to really date Hercules when he asked her out at the hotel. He sure did play a fast joke on her but then he reassured her that he would never take advantage of her. She didn’t know what she would have done without him, especially in moments like this.“Oh it’s nothing” she continued walking like nothing ever happened. Hercules knew she was lying. He stood watching her go. The ruby he knew would immediately be smiling as soon as she woke up. Ruby was a happy soul actually.Hercules' gentle touch stirred Ruby to look up at him. She tried to smile but did an awfully bad job at it. Her eyes fluttered open, her face pale and clammy. "Hey, you were having a nightmare, it was just night mare" he whispered, his brow furrowed with concern.Ruby's breath came in short gasps as she tried to speak, her eyes d

I didn't know where else to go."“Sshhh its okay baby” she consoled the girl. She never knew that Marissa would still be with Windsor. After she had left the gang, she thought she left too. The maids came along and took Marissa away. They gave her a hot bath and gave her neat clothes. Food was immediately left at the table for her. As Marissa ate hungrily, tears stuck to Ruby’s eyes.

It didn’t take long, Henry got off the phone.“I was watching the news” he said.Jackson smiled. “You see anything interesting?” Henry shrugged, “the same old jargon. All they do is talk but they never act.” He sighed. “Now you can put it off. Just as Jackson moved to do so, he stopped.“Boss is that not Danny?”Henry looked up from his work.
