"What did you think of me Maxwell? That I was some kind of a prostitute who came to you because of your money?" Hannah asked.

"Then why did you come to me? Why did you divorce Marcus just to be with me?"

"There are some truths that are meant to be hidden from the likes of you. Good bye Maxwell." Hannah said moving away.

"Don't you dare walk away from me!" Maxwell thundered, getting up from the group to grab her hands.

"Crack!" The security guard hit his elbow with his baton and immediately Maxwell's arm was broken.

"Ahh!" He cried out rolling on the floor, Hannah gave a single glance at him before walking away.

"Don't leave me Hannah! You left me for Marcus! You used me for your stupid games. I'll come back for y'all, I will take my revenge!" He declared but Hannah didn't stop from walking away.

    Marcus heaved a sigh, he felt pity for her, he felt she was saying the truth. But the truth isn't enough to seek justice against a successful business man like Mr. Derek, she needs proof or something that would back up her claims.Marcus then walked out of the mansion, he didn't inform anyone he was leaving, he just entered his car with Sam and was escorted by his guards.“So are we heading home?” Sam asked, he knew when Marcus thought of something else.“No, let's pay the station a visit.” He replied.“Why? Is it about the lady?” Sam asked.“Yes, I can't tell, but I feel like she was telling the truth.” Marcus said.“So you believe we should get ourselves involved in this?” Sam asked.“It's not a big deal if we do, if we can help those in need why not” Marcus said.If there was one thing Marcus had learnt in life was that, the rich always bully the poor. Even if the rich were the ones on the wrong, it's always the poor who get punished. Hannah and Maxwell had taught him this lesson.

She stammered, scared of calling the name of the person."Who was it!""It was Mr. Derek, Mr. Blackwood. He agreed to pay me five million. I'm so sorry." She confessed.Marcus wasn't too surprised, he had been suspicious of the whole thing."How awful can you be? you caused harm to your fellow human. for what? money? is five million worth more than her life?" Marcus angered."I'm sorry Mr. Blackwood, I accept that I was greedy, please forgive me!""You won't get away with this! I promise you that, I'll make sure you lose your position here, and also rot in prison. people like you don't deserve to stay in this society!""Please I need this job to take care of my daughter, I'm sorry!"The officer

They brought Maxwell out of the car and into a Stony dark room, Maxwell was placed on a chair and his hands tied to the chair. They removed the sack from his face and drenched him with a bucket of water jolting him up."Who...who are you people?" He breathed heavily, he noticed his hands were tied up. "I don't know you, please let me go"The room was dark with only one small bulb as a source of illumination and it wasn't enough to make the kidnappers' faces visible."What do you want from me!"

Amongst them was Richard."Like I said before Richard, it's time Marcus learnt the truth and fully joins the Blackwoods cult." One of the men said, all the men present were 50 and above."He's not ready, Pietro." Richard replied."Marcus is the new head of this association, it's high time he fully knows who he is and what he is meant to be. You don't possibly think you can hide that from him forever." Pietro said."I will inform him, but please I request for more time, Marcus is the last surviving bloodline of the Actual Blackwoods. He needs to be protected and kept away from harm." Richard said."And what about the Red Hood? I believe Marco has found out about his brother's return. And if we don't prepare Marcus for what is to come, death is inevitable and the Redhood will finally claim everything."***Long ago before Marcus was born, his grandfather was the first and founder of the Blackw

The Blackwood son will not fail his father. I just need to hold up my head and move along like it doesn't matter. My greatest matter now is how to take back the Mandis school project from that crooked man, Magnus.”Richard nodded. “I couldn't agree more. I mean, how do you intend to handle this? Magnus is not an easy bone to crack, you know.”“Well, I have a meeting tomorrow with a lady lawyer who I hear is the best in town…”“Luciana?” Richard asked with wide eyes.“You know her?” Marcus was amused.“Everyone in town knows her. She is fierce and good at what she does.”“Then, that means

    As the sun began to rise over the city, casting a golden glow on the streets, Clara and her team stood outside the docks, their breaths still heavy from the fight. With Magnus apprehended and his henchmen scattered, the sense of victory was palpable.“Is it really over?” Mara asked, her eyes reflecting the morning light.“Feels like it,” Clara replied, a cautious smile creeping onto her face. “We’ve fought too hard for this to slip away now.”Marcus stepped forward, pulling out his phone to call the authorities. “They’ll want to take Magnus into custody. This time, he won’t be able to wriggle his way out of it.”As the police sirens wailed in the distance, a mixture of relief and anticipation washed over the group. Clara could hardly believe how far they had come since they had first banded together to confront the darkness in their city.In the following days, word spread about Magnus's defeat and the disbandment of his criminal network. The community began to breathe a sigh of relie

    Together, they had become a force to be reckoned with, as they shared a collective nod, a silent agreement that they were all in this together. Marcus carefully jimmied the lock open. The door creaked as it swung inward, revealing a dimly lit corridor lined with rusted machinery and crates.“Stay quiet,” Marcus whispered, leading the way with Clara right behind him. They moved in a tight formation, with Mara and Eli covering the rear.As they ventured deeper into the warehouse, the sounds of muffled voices began to filter through the walls. Clara’s heart raced—this was it. They were getting closer to the action.“Let’s split up,” Marcus suggested, peeking around a corner. “Mara, you take the left side. Clara, you and Eli cover the right. We’ll converge at the main room in the center.”“Got it,” Clara replied, feeling a rush of adrenaline.

    .“Are we really done with Magnus?” Eli asked, stretching as he joined Clara, his face still a mix of exhaustion and disbelief.“Only for now,” Clara replied, glancing at Marcus and Mara, who were going over the plans for their next move. “But it feels good to know we stood up to him. He won’t be back anytime soon.”Marcus looked up, a thoughtful expression on his face. “We need to regroup and figure out what’s next. Magnus may be in custody, but we know he has allies. We can’t let our guard down.”Mara nodded in agreement. “And we need to find out what else he was planning. There’s got to be more to it than just controlling the city through fear.”“Right,” Clara said, her mind racing with the possibilities. “Let’s start by gathering any information we can. We need to dig deeper into his operations.”As the day unfolded, they began strategizing. Clara took charge, flipping through notes and files they had collected over time. “We need to hit his connections hard. If we can disrupt the

    Eli groaned but pushed himself up, adrenaline surging through him despite the throbbing pain in his ribs. “I’m good,” he gasped, his eyes darting to the downed guard. “Let’s finish this!”“Good,” Marcus said, his breath steadying as he turned back to the entrance, where the chaos was still unfolding. “Clara, stick close to me. Eli, take the rear. We need to find a way to secure this place before Magnus decides to make an appearance.”“Right!” Clara replied, determination etched on her face. Together, they charged further into the heart of the factory, the sound of the fireworks still booming outside, providing a cacophony that masked their movements.As they navigated through the maze of machinery and crates, the atmosphere grew thicker with tension. Clara’s instincts kicked in, and she felt a sense of urgency pushing her forward. They needed to find Magnus and stop him before he could mobilize his men.“Where do you think he is?” Mara whispered, glancing around at the shadows that lo

    As the group approached the factory, the moonlight cast eerie shadows over the crumbling walls. They could see the faint outline of guards patrolling the perimeter, their silhouettes shifting in the dim light. Clara felt her heart race, every instinct in her body screaming that they were heading into danger. Yet, beneath that fear was a resolute determination to confront Magnus and end this once and for all.“Okay, remember the plan,” Marcus whispered, his voice steady despite the tension. “Mara and Eli, you’ll set off the fireworks on the east side while Clara and I create a distraction on the north entrance.”“Got it,” Mara replied, glancing at Eli, who nodded in agreement.As they moved into position, Clara could feel the weight of the moment bearing down on her. She glanced at Marcus, who was scanning the area with a focused intensity. “Are you ready for this?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.“I have to be,” he replied, determination flashing in his eyes. “For everyon

    “I still can’t believe Magnus is out there,” Clara said, pacing the small room, her brow furrowed with concern. “He’s not the type to back down easily.”Marcus leaned against the wall, arms crossed, his jaw set in determination. “He’ll come back. We need to prepare for whatever he’s planning. We can’t underestimate him again.”Mara, sitting on a makeshift bench, rubbed her temples, still feeling the tension from the fight. “What if he tries to retaliate against us personally? He knows who we are now.”Eli, leaning against the table, chimed in. “We need to gather intel on his operations. If we know where he’s hiding or what he’s planning, we can strike first.”“Good idea,” Marcus replied, his mind racing with possibilities. “But how do we find him? He has a network, and we’re just a small team.”Just then, Clara’s phone buzzed, breaking the tension in the air. She glanced at the screen, her expression shifting from concern to curiosity. “It’s a text from a contact I haven’t heard from

    With the remaining henchmen falling one by one, it became clear that the tide was turning. The cacophony of chaos seemed to intensify, but Marcus’s focus sharpened on Magnus, who was now cornered against the wall, his bravado fading.“Looks like your little party is crashing down, Magnus,” Marcus taunted, stepping closer, his fists clenched.Magnus glared, anger burning in his eyes. “You think this is over? You have no idea what you’re dealing with!”“Maybe not, but I know what I’m going to do next,” Marcus said, his voice low and threatening. He motioned to Eli, who nodded and moved to flank Magnus.Suddenly, Magnus lunged toward a nearby table, grabbing a glass bottle and swinging it at Marcus. The glass shattered against the wall just inches from Marcus’s head.“Careful!” Marcus shouted, ducking just in time.Mara, ever vigilant, charged forward again, this time aiming a solid punch directly at Magnus’s jaw. The force of her hit sent him staggering backward. “You won’t get away thi

    The days that followed the ambush were a blur of activity for Marcus, Mara, Clara, and Eli. Each moment was filled with tension, anticipation, and the weight of what lay ahead. They meticulously planned their counterattack against Magnus and his henchmen, determined to turn the tables and regain control of their lives.The small, dimly lit warehouse they had chosen as their temporary headquarters buzzed with energy as they gathered around a large table cluttered with maps, photos, and notes. Marcus pointed at a large map of the city spread out before them.“Alright, here’s the plan,” he began, his voice steady and authoritative. “We know that Magnus operates out of several locations, but we believe he’s using this old warehouse on the outskirts of town as his base of operations.”Clara leaned closer, her finger tracing a route on the map. “If we can get the jump on them here, we can cut off any escape routes they might have. It’s a perfect setup for an ambush.”“Exactly,” Marcus agree
