The Billionaire's Retribution New strategy
It was saddening to watch his life seemingly crumble before him. He sat there on the chair, watching Luciana gather her papers and tuck them back into her jacket file and then back into her bag. It was obvious that she was hurt by her own decision but it seemed that she insisted on taking her strides in that path. “Do you really have to do this, Luciana?” I asked, hoping to convince her otherwise. “When can I possibly get a lawyer and how can I? It isn't the money it is the fact that I cannot afford to get a lawyer at such a short notice. What would you have me do?” Luciana stared at me for a short while and shook her head. “Let me get this straight, Marcus. I am expected to appear in court next tomorrow without any evidence and then we tell the Judge to go ahead and send you to jail? Doesn't this sound ridiculous to you?” Tears were gathering in her eyes. “I understand you trying to protect Mrs Linda, probably because you feel that you owe it to her husband. Is this coming from

Whilst they kissed each other and cried in each other's arms, Magnus and Maxwell celebrated on an all night cruise at the beach Hannah.She was edgy and unhappy that she was forced to be. She would have preferred to be locked away in her bedroom, waiting for the dawn of day as the sentence would be passed against Marcus.Her mind was bugged with the fact that she had no idea if Marcus was able to come up with a witness or not. The news outlets were not being helpful.They made the situation seem as though Marcus was truly hopeless as no information was being given by his team and his legal person.Hannah sat on the beach chair, gazing at Maxwell and Magnus as they joked wildly about the current situation and laughed so loudly.She could see the joy on their faces as they talked about Marcus' possible life imprisonment and fear gripped her heart as she wondered what the next day would bring.Daylight streamed in through the windows and Marcus got down from his bed. He knew that in a sh

Daylight streamed in through the windows and Marcus got down from his bed. He knew that in a short while, the police would be at his doorstep, ready to take him to court.As early as six thirty am, Luciana began bugging him with calls.Marcus suspected she was going to try to convince him and he refused to take the calls.He simply left her a message.Hi Lucy. I will see you in court. Thank you.Luciana read his message with tears in her eyes. She had never lost a case that she could have won. She was dealing with the fact that she was going to watch an innocent man go to jail and she would be seen as not good enough.Marcus did not care.All he wanted was for Mrs Linda to have the peace of mind she desired. The same reason she had hidden away from the world after her husband's gruesome murder.Marcus received a message from Camelia.I love you beyond words and something tells me that you will come out of this stronger.He smiled and held back the tears that were threatening to roll d

“What is this madness, Attorney Luciana?” The Judge asked with a sneer on his face.“I am so sorry,” Luciana replied loudly, her gaze locked with Magnus' horrid gaze as she, Camelia and Linda SheIn and her children passed through the aisle.Camelia slipped into a seat and waved at Marcus, her face beaming with smiles. She was so happy at the feat that she and Luciana were able to achieve.“I would like to apologise to my Lord and to this honourable court for the delay,” Luciana declared, taking the stand. “We had to go and bring the Witness as well as the evidence needed to not only clear Mr. Marcus Blackwood but also to pin down the man who masterminded the murder of Matthew SheIn.”Magnus and Maxwell turned to each other with panic in their eyes.“Is this turning against you?” Maxwell asked Magnus and Magnus clenched his fists. “Thomas betrayed me. That is what this means. I have to leave immediately. Call my lawyer and prepare jets for me. I have got to leave immediately,” he said

The days that followed were filled with celebrations for the Blackwoods and shame for Marcus and his supporters. Marcus was especially happy that he got cleared and he could get back to work.He was grateful to uncle Richard for offering to give up his shares in the company just for his sake but he was not going to let that happen.“We already made a promise to Diego and we cannot afford to go back on that promise,” Luciana warned when he mentioned that he would not allow Richard's shares to be taken away.Marcus smiled. “I have a better plan, Luciana,” Marcus mentioned with a prideful smile. “You will definitely love it.”“Hmm, can I hear it then?” She asked, sitting still and waiting to hear what this plan was.“The Blackwood's conglomerate is a publicly traded company. I am allowed to have a boundless number of shareholders. Hence, I wish to give Linda and her family shares in my company. What do you think?”Luciana sat, thoughtfully going through what he had just said. “Are there

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. She and Eli moved stealthily down the right corridor, keeping low and watching for any signs of movement.The voices grew louder as they approached

.“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
