The Billionaire's Retribution Moving on
The morning after was brighter than they had hoped it would be before they embarked on their journey.They both slept so deeply in each other's arms, reminiscing in their dreams about the lovely action that had happened between them. It felt as though they were having a new life altogether, not the same old grumpy life she had and the life of unlawful accusations that he was going through.In that time, their problems seemed far away from them, shut down by the peace that encircled them.Neither of them remembered that they had to leave as early as four that morning to meet up with the one and only Ferry that would take them across to the East of Leesburg.The first person that woke up to the light of day was Marcus. Camelia's hair brushed against his face and his eyes fell open as he inhaled the freshness of it.It smelt of lavender flowers and they were his favourites. The early rays of sunlight cast its golden glory on her face and he could not help but desire to hold her close fo
The Billionaire's Retribution Derek is dead
Marcus nodded.“I gotta go and get ready right away just Incase Sam calls. He . mentioned that the car has a minor fault but he is on top of the situation.”Camelia nodded and Marcus turned to go to the bathroom for a quick shower. He stopped by the doorway and gave Camelis an enticing look, causing her to smile with a blush.“You look stunning in that dress, by the way.”Camelia thanked him with a subtle nod of her head and shifted her gaze from his to her phone that was in her hand. She could not afford to let the praises get her all needy for him again.After what seemed like the fastest forty five minutes of their lives, Sam rang up his boss to let him know that they were finally ready to take off.Marcus and Camelia packed up all that was theirs in the exquisite hotel room that held a memory of them and they left, walking hand in hand.Camelia wanted to untangled from his grip She did not want to force him to expose them if he was not willing to do that.She tried to gently pull

“And the fact that he was so full of himself in that entire era, holding innocent people hostage,” Sam added. “I really almost thought he'd never meet his end.”They began laughing all over again.The pubman was confused yet, he found a way to bring himself into their cosy conversation.“It does seem like this fella, whoever he was must have done so much evil,” the pubman mentioned in a bid to get the full gist.Camelia did not want to involve him.“You do not even want to know about his many crimes,” Camelia muttered and immediately brought up another conversation to put an end to the conversation.Deep down, she was satisfied that finally, Derek was paying dearly for his crimes against her family. She could see his end already and it brought her so much satisfaction, unfortunately.We are two turns away from the Montegos home,” the pubman announced, adjusting himself on the seat. “I hope y'all ready for whatever turn this visit takes because like I earlier said, that man ain't norma
The Billionaire's Retribution Linda's anger
Linda SheIn sat, cross legged, her face stern and stoic. She was not willing to express emotions before these people.She had not healed from the chaotic murder of her husband and the fact that life slipped away from her in the twinkle of an eye.Marcus began to speak, trying so hard to pour out his soul in their conversation.He wanted her to see that he was saddened by the entire situation, not just about the false accusations against him.“I could have come earlier to meet with you and show my deepest condolences, Mrs SheIn. However, I am sure you know that I became a suspect and was treated as such immediately after your husband was killed.”“Why are you here, Mr Blackwood?” She was not ready for any friendly conversations.Her face was still stoic and she had that firm, unshifting gaze fixed on him.Camelia was slightly anxious that she may not be willing to help Marcus. She kept shifting uncomfortably in her chair.“I am here to firstly express my deepest condolences to you and
The Billionaire's Retribution Linda's anger II
She began to sob loudly, slamming her hands against the side table that was planted beside her.Marcus was weakened at this point and so were his partners. He could not say another word, neither could Sam.Camelia had a lot to say. She wanted to plead on his behalf, her eyes were teary as well. She understood how sad Linda was.She got down on her knees, beside Linda and held her palm.“Please Ma'am, stop hurting yourself this much,” she pleaded, tears rolling down her cheeks.She held Linda as though they knew each other before and they both sobbed on each other's shoulder.Camelia rubbed her head and her back while she convulsed tearfully in her shoulder.Marcus and Sam could not easily weep like the ladies but they definitely felt the tense emotion in the room.Camelia pulled back from Linda and began to plead with her.“I cannot say that I don't understand the pain you feel. I feel that pain too, we all do. As a matter of fact, Marcus has best himself for this entire situation. Ho
The Billionaire's Retribution When Hope Is Lost
A defeated Camelia, Marcus and Sam began to journey back home.It had become obvious that they had lost the battle because the woman would not say a word.She blatantly refused to be used as a pun in their schemes for clearing Marcus's name from the crime he was being accused of.Camelia could not stop crying in the car even when Marcus tried to calm her down, she kept crying bitterly, convulsing with tears.“I feel so guilty for this,” she muttered over and over again.“Stop saying that Cam,” Marcus tried to warn her. “You were doing what you thought was best for me. I know you had my best interest at heart. I am fully aware of that,” Marcus had tried to reassure her yet, she was not willing to bend to that.Same felt for her too as he could understand her position but the two men thought of her as hero not the way she saw herself.“I ruined this!” She kept whining tearfully, “I probably should not have tried to save the situation and kept quiet. Perhaps if it was you and her alone,
The Billionaire's Retribution Hope
Magnus and Maxwell were having a boys night out that evening at a very popular bar. The two of them were high spirited and could not keep it down.“Do you think Marcus will make it?” Magnus asked with a twisted smile. Maxwell laughed out loud . “If all you said was true and they really burnt down the house, that means that evidence is gone, totally cleared. Innit?”“Oh yes, definitely. Thomas has been my hitman for quite some time and there's nothing he has ever done wrong. He delivers within expectations.”Magnus' eyes flashed with pride as he talked about his hitman.“He is the most genuine hitman I have ever had,” Magnus added, with a proud laugh.Maxwell nodded.“I just can't stop imagining what Marcus would be going through in these last minutes, running from one point to the other, wondering if he can find the truth,” Maxwell mentioned with angst in his eyes.Both men laughed so heartily.They seemed so happy with Marcus' possible downfall and they could not wait for him to si
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

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
