Katherine’s eyes widened in alarm as Marcus uttered the words, “We are going to use Sandra.”“Lord of vengeance, that's risky!” She yelled. Marcus swiftly covered her mouth with his hand, cautioning her to silence. “Don’t scream, you will wake her up,” he warned, his eyes darting around. Kathrine nodded hastily, her eyes still wide with concern, as Marcus removed his hand from her mouth. She quickly adjusted her clothes, her movements swift and nervous. Meanwhile, Marcus moved to his bed and sat down, his expression grave. “It’s risky, we both know that,” Kathrine agreed, her voice low and measured. “Using her means revealing who we are to her.”Marcus pulled out his shisha pot and lit it up, the sweet aroma of the tobacco filling the air. “That’s the only way we can know about the Lord of Tycoon,” he said, puffing out a ring of smoke. “She’s from a third-tier family.”Kathrine moved closer, her eyes narrowing in concern. “But we can't just reveal ourselves without knowing who we

A thought crept into her mind - what would it be like to wake up every morning to this domestic bliss, with Marcus cooking for her? To her Amayah was a fool leaving Marcus.She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice Marcus had turned around, his eyes locking onto hers with a hint of amusement."You look like you've been caught in the act," he said, a playful glint in his eye.Sandra's face flushed as she attempted to play it cool. "I was just... appreciating the cooking skills," she stammered.Marcus chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Or you were thinking why am I this sexy?”Sandra sat at the kitchen table, a sly grin spreading across her face. "Sexy? Marc

“What is it? Can't you let me be?" Johnson yelled, exasperated. The caller's calm voice was a stark contrast to Johnson's ire. "Chill, Johnson. I have something you're looking for." Johnson's anger paused, his curiosity piqued. "What are you talking about?" he asked, his tone slightly softer."I'll send you an address to meet up, and you'll come alone," the voice said.Johnson responded, "Why should I come to your location? How do I know you're not the one I'm searching for?"The voice let out a loud laughter, which ended abruptly. "You're amusing," the caller said. "If I was the kidnapper, you'd already be dead."A shiver ran down Johnson's spine. "Are you still there?" the caller asked, breaking the silence.Johnson composed himself, his voice firm. "Yes."The caller's tone was direct. "Are you in or not?"Johnson hesitated, glancing at Don and the tracker, who were watching him intently. He knew he had to find his father's killer quickly. "I'm in," he said, his decision made."G
Johnson arrived at the location, a secluded house surrounded by overgrown bushes. He couldn't help but wonder why the mysterious person had chosen this isolated spot, of all places. It seemed crazy to him; if anything went wrong, no one would be able to trace his whereabouts, and he wouldn't be able to call for help. The house appeared abandoned, and the eerie atmosphere sent a shiver down his spine. Johnson’s instincts screamed at him to leave, but his curiosity and need for revenge propelled him forward, into the unknown.Don pushed open the creaky door and stepped inside, calling out into the darkness, "Is anybody here?" The only response was the echo of his own voice off the dusty walls. He yelled again, "Is anybody there?" but the silence was deafening. Just as he turned to leave, his phone vibrated in his pocket. He pulled it out to read the message: "Take off your face mask." Don groaned, wondering if this was some kind of joke. He was meant to reaveal his face instead of
"Father, don't tell me you want to share our family secrets in front of an outsider," John said, his voice laced with disapproval. The whole family turned to look at him, and his gaze met Marcus'. "Who's that, John?" Their father asked, his tone stern. John's gaze lingered on Marcus, his implication clear. "He knows himself," John said, his words dripping with disdain. The whole family's gaze followed him, landing on Marcus, and Their father stared at him, his expression unyielding. He had never liked Marcus, and with the current situation, he felt it was all because of him, viewing him as a bad omen. "You're right, son," he said finally. "We can't discuss our business in front of an outsider.""What, you both are kidding, right? He's my fiancé!" Sandra yelled, her voice echoing through the room."Fiancé, not husband," her father corrected, his tone firm."You must be kidding me. What the hell is this?" Sandra stood up, slamming her hand on the table, making everyone flinch."Sand
Marcus's heart raced as he heard the footsteps approaching. He tiptoed to the door and peeked outside, his eyes widening in surprise as he saw Sandra's father heading towards the room. Panicked, Marcus scanned the space for a place to hide, but there was none.Sandra's father reached the door and noticed it was slightly ajar. His eyes narrowed, knowing someone was inside. He pushed the door open with a swift motion, his anger evident in the creak of the hinges. "Who's here?" he demanded, his voice echoing through the empty office as he spun around, his eyes scanning the space for any sign of the intruder.Marcus held his breath, crouched beneath the desk, and silently prayed that the elderly man wouldn't discover him. He knew he couldn't come up with a convincing excuse for his presence in the office.Meanwhile, Sandra's father settled into the chair, his legs propped up on the desk, and declared, "Whoever you are, you will soon come out. I'm not going anywhere until you reveal your
Don crept home, hoping to avoid his father's anger, and quietly made his way to his room. He removed his shoe, holding it in his hand, and took a deep breath before opening the door a crack to peek inside. To his dismay, he saw his father pacing back and forth in the sitting room. "Shit," he muttered under his breath, rubbing his hair in frustration.Just then, his gaze met the maid's, who was standing afar. He walked up to her, clearing his throat. "Is the back door open...?" he asked urgently, his eyes wide with concern. She nodded solemnly, "Yes, sir." Don gave her a brief nod and a fake smile, trying to appear calm, and the maid blushed, seemingly charmed by his gesture despite the tense atmosphere.Don opened the back door and tiptoed up the stairs, trying to go unnoticed. Just as he was about to open his room door, he heard his father's voice from behind. "So, this is when you decide to come home, Don?" his father said, his tone firm and authoritative.Slowly, Don turned bac
