When they arrived at the place, Kate introduced herself to the bouncers at the entrance and they allowed them to go in.They moved through a downward staircase that went underground until they found themselves in front of another door with bouncers.Kate did the introduction again and one of the bouncers took them in.The room was buzzing with various activities as the waitress arranged drinks on the tables of the gamblers and continued to move with their trays.Laughter occasionally arose from different corners and the clinking of glasses would follow.The scent of cigarettes in the dimly lit room made Kate cough a few times as she wasn't used to such an environment.William was doing his calculations as he looked around the room, absorbing all the essential details that he needed.The bouncer took them to the extreme corner at the south side of the room where some men were clinking chips of various colors over the table.The smell of the smoke of their cigarettes filled the area and
Kate’s pupil shrank in shock and her body shook with rage. “What are you saying? You agreed to let my family go once my Father’s debt is paid”“That’s right, your family but not you. You have to pay for your freedom fee to walk out of this place. If you can provide $20,000 right now, I’ll let you all go” There was an evil smile at the corner of his lips as he told her.“Don’t be this way, my daughter paid you already” Kate’s mother was also displeased and she had stepped forward to confront J Cole.Kate pulled her bag and whispered, “Allow me to handle this, Mother”He laughed proudly, “That’s right, Old Woman. Allow us to talk this thing out. You got the $20,000 or you'll become an escort in this casino until you can raise the amount”Kate gritted her teeth in rage. “What you’re doing here isn’t legal? The police can pick all of you up if I make a report”She was hoping to scare them but J Cole was unmoved.He even chuckled louder. “Even the cops cannot stop our business. Let me tell
Even Kate was surprised by William’s ruthlessness.She didn’t know him to be this way.Wasn’t it reckless of him to cause more trouble? Knowing that this people were connected to a terrifying gang in the City.“You!” J Cole roared in pain, “Just wait and see, you’ll be dead today—” He didn’t even finish speaking when there was a sudden commotion at the entrance.Everyone’s attention shifted again.This time, it was a group of men in black arriving at the Casino and everyone was giving way for them to move.Not daring to offend them because of their imposing presence.J Cole’s face lit up in excitement and he quickly raised his voice. “Brother Johnathan, right there…I have been bullied”“William, you have to run right now” Kate forcefully took William’s hand to coerce him to leave but he remained rooted to the ground.“Don’t be arrogant, listen to me. What if they kill you?”William smiled coldly. “They are not capable of killing me”She gasped.When did he become filled with arrogance
William was awakened the morning by the buzzing noise of his phone and he managed to take the call without checking out who the caller was."Mr. Miller, am I unto Mr. Miller"His eyes blinked open the moment he recognized the phone and this made him rub his eyes to see the caller on the screen.It was Bella Watson.Why was she calling him this early?He also noticed that he had missed seven previous calls from her."Did something happen?" William asked lazily and prevented him from yawning loudly."Yes, Um... Not really. You have to be careful, Luke Taylor came to cause trouble at my Father's Car Dealership last night because he couldn't get the vehicle he came for"William frowned, not understanding how this concerns him when she continued, "The Car he wanted to buy was the limited edition of the Aston Martin Valkyrie. He must have heard from someone that the Car Dealership had one but when he came, you had already gotten it""How is that a problem?" He rubbed his eyes."If he's that
William moved straight into the hospital hall the moment he arrived and was surprised to see Almond Grey waiting for him.“Young Master, you are here,” He said humbly as he quickly approached William.“What are you doing here?” William didn’t expect to meet him there.“I was close by and thought that you might need my help here. I already located the ward where Mr. Wilson is. His daughter paid for his bills already” Grey told him and William nodded.He led William to the ward and no one stopped the latter this time because of his presence.Grey waited outside while William stepped inside the ward to see Bella crying beside the bed of her father whose right leg was hung above the bed.She didn’t notice his presence at first until his shadow towered over her.“Mr. Miller..?” She was shocked to see him when she turned around and this made her quickly wipe the tears in her eyes.“What are you doing here?” Bella was stupefied by how quickly he had found the hospital where she brought her f
“Mr. Miller, these people are ruthless, if you stay they might hurt you as they did to my father, who would heal you then?” Bella was concerned as she looked around to find the closest exit but there was none.“We are from the Taylor group, if anyone tries to stop us today, we will not spare you” One of the men announced with a loud voice that echoed down the hallway of the hospital.When the remaining guards heard this, their faces turned ashen and they quickly pulled away from attacking the intruders.No wonder the men were skilled in fighting, they belonged to the private security of the prominent Taylor family.They can never be a match for them.With no obstruction, the group of men made their way forward and stood in front of William and Bella whose legs were going jelly already.There was no escape for Mr. Miller now.Maybe this was her fault, she shouldn’t have told him about her father.“You must be William Miller” One of the men who had the tattoo of a shark on his neck step
Everyone was shocked by what had happened except Almond Grey who folded hhis arm and continued towatch.He knew their fate already was sealed.There was a dead silence for a moment and William took a step over the crying man's body.Bella couldn't believe her eyes and was yet to comprehend what she had seen.She only saw the man try to take the key from William and the next second he was on the ground, what just happened?It took a while for the remaining security agents to regain their composure from what had occurred."You, how dare you injure our team leader? If we don't kill you today, then we are not associated with the Taylor family" One of the men who had a great stature roared and this boosted the courage of the others."How dare you use a despicable trick? Break your legs right now and apologize” Another had stepped forward to threaten William and the others agreed by puffing their chest forward in arrogance.Somehow they were scared of William because he had taken down the
Luke Taylor’s face became distorted with rage.Who was this shabbily dressed nobody to think he could talk nonsense about destroying the Taylor Family?Does he really know who his family are?Even power players will not be brazen to talk recklessly in this manner.Bella pulled William gently and whispered, “Stop annoying them. The Taylors are reckless and evil persons. Maybe Mr. Grey here can help us talk to them”William might be able to take on a few agents but going against the entire Taylor family was reckless.Even second-rate families are not their match except William had the backing of a powerful family.“Allow me to handle this Bella?” He whispered back and this made her glance back at Almond with a pleading look but it didn’t bulge.Luke Taylor noticed the Manager of Exclusive Bank Avenue and quickly said, “Mr. Grey, what are you doing here?”Grey cleared his throat and said, “Luke, I’m advising you to leave right now. Not everyone is a pushover in this City”Luke raised his
