"Can we talk?" Xander softly spoke to Linda after breakfast while she was attempting to return to her room. Hearing Xander speak, she froze on the spot waiting to hear what he had to say. "What is it, Xander? Do you want to attempt to kiss me again?" Linda asked, expecting a swift response. Xander had to sigh slightly before saying any more words. "Look, Linda. I truly am sorry. I never intended to do that, but I couldn't control myself."He placed his arm on her shoulders which she shrugged off, placing her arm beneath her breast, and clicking her head sideways. "You need to know I… Love you." he stuttered trying to speak his mind, not without considering how she was going to take it. Linda scoffed before saying. "Now, I can say you are indeed crazy." she strode off, but he followed after her. "Wait, Linda, there's something else I need to say, and I need you to listen to me please." He sincerely pleaded. Linda frustratedly stopped, impatiently waiting for whatever he wanted to
"Am I welcome? I brought soup." Linda said, lifting the bowl in her hand to Alaric's face."Yea you, you can come in." Alaric moved from the doorway giving her space."Guys, I brought soup! Who wants some?!" she squealed in excitement. However, others weren't finding her presence appealing.Their expression towards her was pale, with no element of excitement whatsoever."Boys, what's the silence for?" she tried as much to avert Edwin's gaze. "I think the best thing I'd do is to get you all a plate myself."She was about to turn around when Edwin called to say. "You know you shouldn't be here right?" immediately, Alaric made gestures to Draco and both of them exited the scene leaving Edwin and Linda alone."I came here because I knew you guys might not be eating well." She tried as much as she could to fake a smile."What if I tell you we didn't want you? And speaking of soup, I think you should leave right this minute!" Edwin said with a straight face without batting an eye."It's jus
Xander sauntered towards his room, leaving Tony's. A few steps from entering his room, he clicked his head sideways at the sight of a figure. "Linda!" he murmured to himself, catching a glimpse of her pale expression. Considering her expression, he would have gone to pacify her, but not with what she had done to him.On the other hand, she couldn't stay longer to behold his presence, and as such she left, and Xander left as well.He had more important things to deal with other than staring at a woman who didn't have the same feelings for him as he did.Quickly, he picked up his keys, and headed for the vehicle, since Perry wasn't available to join, he needed to go do things himself.Getting into the vehicle, he stepped on the gas and drove wildly, making sure to evade other vehicles as fast as he could.He needed to get the will and close the end of the case.Upon his entry into the warehouse, he spotted Ethan, who already seemed weak, due to the uncomfortable sitting in a position
"Crescent?!" Edwin repeated in surprise. "Yes boss, I saw the name clearly, it's a crescent blog." Tony repeated showing him the exact video directly from the blog. "here it is, boss.""Not at all, I did hear you… Just that the name, Cresent sounds familiar, I was watching a clip recently, and then I found that same name, just can't tell where exactly…." he passed trying hard to remember, but then he suddenly jolted to say. "Here, I remember. Are there any other related blogs with the same logo?""Umm… As far as I checked, boss, there were no others. This is the only blog I found to have that name." Tony replied brilliantly."If that's the case, then I think I know who exactly owns the blog. And we need to get to this person as fast as possible. Coincidentally, Klaus has given me the mission to kill this same person.""Huh!" Tony exclaimed in surprise before speaking out. "So, boss, what do we do? Are we going to kill?""Edwin scoffed before saying. "If we did kill like Klaus as alwa
"What baseless theory are you saying?! What about those whom you sold the drugs to? Aren't they parents or children of some parents here? Yet you have such audacity to spout baseless theory?" Garavel annoyingly and repeated, openly taking sides with Declan, and it did work.Biggs finally went mute. "Fine, I agree I'm wrong too." he found a seat to rest his butts."Yeah, good you admitted, you were wrong. Now everyone here, let's see how we can help Declan. Agreed?!""Some answered, while others didn't. As much as they were senators, some of them valued looking after themselves instead of getting plunged with the culprit."Boss, why not do as I say? They should believe that and all this protest, I believe, will end." Gregg suggested again."Well, that leaves us where? You seem so blind that you refuse to see that even the media wouldn't be able to find their way into this building. So how do we hold the damn meeting?" Declan was currently running out of patience and then his phone bega
"Klaus! I'm sure you would have gotten the message. The news flowing around about me." Declan stated firmly with an ordering tone."Yes, Your Excellency, I did hear, I got the news and…""There is no time for excuses, Klaus. Just let me know the source of the news. Who started it, who wants to ruin my political career?""I will do that.""When you do, make sure you break the person. Kill the person… Or.." he paused for a short while before he continued. "Just capture the person, I need to know who exactly it is, so I can destroy the person with my own hands." he voiced amidst gritted teeth."Certainly, I will do that," Klaus affirmed and thereafter put off the call.Declan had just put away the phone and sighed deeply sinking into his chair when he heard the double door forcefully pushed open."W..hat. Happened?" Declan jolted on his seat immediately, trembling with the look of fear while he stared at the men in black uniforms, pointing Assault rifles at him from all sides.The corps.
"Be quiet Draco, Klaus is the one calling," Edwin warned immediately.Picking the call immediately, the first thing that met him was the harsh words from Klaus. "Don't make me lose my trust in you. Why haven't you handled the journalist? The fucker has caused chaos around the state, I hope you must have heard of this.""Boss, I am going for him. I would never flaunt your orders.""You had better not, I need you to get him killed in twenty-four hours. Nothing more." Klaus was raging in correspondence to the report he got."I will b…" before he could finish the statement, Klaus cut the call immediately. Edwin sighed deeply and sank his head into the seat. "Draco, you were saying something earlier.""Boss, here. I saw this new headline,' he handed over the phone to him."What is? What? Governor Declan is dead?! How come? He got arrested earlier today. How come? How could he die behind bars?"Edwin couldn't hope back his surprise while he stared at the headlines which read. 'Governor Decl
Draco stepped firmly on the gas and sped off, peeking into his wristwatch at intervals, while Micheal kept giving directions."Aren't we there yet?!" Edwin had to yell out considering the different navigation Draco had to go through. He was already at the thought of Micheal lying to them, perhaps trying to deceive them into something or someplace different.It wouldn't be strange if he did that. However, Edwin was ever ready to remove life from him if such happened."We've been driving for thirty damn minutes! Is this how far and crazy your train station is?" Edwin was forced to yell at Michael at the peak of his anger."W…we are almost there. It's a village, it's difficult to reach the train station." From the back seat, Edwin pulled Micheal by the neck firmly. "Hey, look here. If in case we lose this person, trust me I will kill you! I will skin you alive!" Edwin's yells instigated fear into his heart that he gulped repeatedly immediately.Letting him go, Micheal opened his mouth
