Chapter Twenty Two. Mael stiffened in his own reaction, grasping a hold of what just happened. Two men he has never seen in his life; because he has back his memory now, and both are with a face he has never encountered until now. They’ve left, marking their presence not to be forgotten and to be constantly remembered. Not only was Mael chilled to his guts by their threat, they literally showed him how potent they are against him. Mael stood still conflicted on what his next move should be when his phone started ringing, jerking him out of his thoughts. He brought the phone to his attention, looking at the screen to see his caller was The Mayor. Recalling how his dinner went with him, he couldn’t help groaning out a sigh. He answered the call, moving the phone closer to his left ear. “Hello Mael,” The Mayor’s voice greeted his ear. “Evening Mayor. I’m sorry for cutting the night short between us, it was never in my intention to do such. I just got heavily irritated by your dau
Chapter Twenty ThreeThe Next Morning. Mael and Victoria mapped out their plan overnight. Mael was go straight for his meet up with Joe early in the morning, and Victoria told him about her plan to find out what she could about the new threats bothering their safety. She told him of the security cameras involved for situations like this around her house, and how she would go through the recordings to capture their identities, then pass it over to a friend of hers at the organization to track them down and their background. Both bade each other goodbye as they got into their respective rides taking them to their planned destination. Joe was expected to be at the organization early this morning preparing for his general meeting with the committee. Mael was going to meet him there. Victoria already set a guy up at the entrance waiting for Mael to help him move unnoticed till they got to Joe’s office. Many minutes later Mael’s car arrived at the remote area where the organization is
Chapter Twenty FourMael scouted around the organization till it was time for the council members meeting, which all respected committees are expected to meet and discuss possible growth of the organization. Mael knew where the discussion is usually held and conducted, at the conference hall right at the building’s west wing. It was the perfect event to take down Joe since he had politely request him to step down and he refused, now he’s bound for whatever coming for him next. Mael waited for some minutes deep into the meeting before pushing the door open, gracing the crowd with his presence. Gazes flew off balance, landing on him with gasps immediately following the silence that dominated after his appearance. Joe from where he sat at the middle fumed instantly, bared at Mael’s presence. He looked over at the two guards standing above him, giving them the signal to go throw Mael out. They nodded instantly, walking towards Mael to carry out the instruction. “I can assure you a b
Chapter Twenty FiveMael clasped his palm, the sound of his single clap plummeting the silence that swept the room right after Joe’s indirect confession. He had confessed to knowing about Mael’s survivor, and was even informed of his life following the aftermath of the tragic incident. Now he won’t be able to defend himself, there’s nothing he can say to his favor.“Did you just confessed to knowing about my whereabouts?” Mael voiced, his brows drawn close in false disbelief. “You even kept tabs.” Mael added in a chuckle. “Else, how would you know about my greedy good for nothing family? And that is just so right, they’re indeed greedy and good for nothing,” he nodded, in accordance to his words. “I’d work tirelessly to satisfy their never ending demands, yet it wasn’t enough.” Mael sighed, blowing out an heavy breath. “But that’s not the topic, the actual topic is you standing guilty of my accusations. You can’t plead your innocence so instead, focus on telling us why exactly you
Chapter Twenty six Marco spent some time getting to know his grandfather before he took him further into the house, at the living room was the whole family waiting for his arrival and introduction. “Your father was my only son, but I also adopted a few,” he spoke out in a warm voice, “Here is my first ever adopted daughter, and beside her is her husband. They’re finally expecting their first child, she’s four months pregnant.” Marco halted in front of the woman. His placid gaze colliding with her shady one, she curved a little smirk. “Welcome to the family, Marco.” She mouthed audibly, lowering her gaze as a different aura settled around her. Marco smiled at her, ignoring her greeting and shifting right to those standing next to her. It was a girl, around his age or a little older. “I’m Marie, who I am is complicated. But welcome, I’m glad you’re back and alive.” She also smiled, and through her voice, Marco deduced she wasn’t being fake and was actually sincere with her welcome.
Chapter Twenty SevenKory felt the banging sensation shot through her system, hitting like a substance whirled into a tornado. Her palm located the spot and she rubbed on it, blood smearing her hand and painting it red. Like she had predicted, the bullet was silver and her wound wouldn’t just hurt ten times the normal, but she’d be unable to supernaturally patched herself up. “Remove the bullet, and heal yourself.” Thane simply instructed, barely affected by the sight of his mate in agony. His indifference was shocking and not at all to Kory, he had said to her the reason why he brought her with him to this slaughter club, so why in his good name would he help her when she’s in so much pain. Kory gasped with painful grunts falling out of her lips. She managed herself off the stool she’s sitting on, grabbing her hand purse and she attempt staggering her way out of his sight. “And where do you think you’re going?” A familiar male voice quizzed from behind, belonging to no other th
