The Blackwood's complex was still lit as Marcus' meeting with Luciana Pedro was still ongoing. It was the second time they were having a meeting regarding the Mandii school project.The only next person who was there at the meeting was Sam; his personal security guard.Luciana was seated across from his table as she flashed her teeth while they conversed indepthly.“The intricacies of this case is quite confusing and can take a bend that is unexpected,” Luciana suggested, twisting her lips.Marcus nodded. He understood exactly what she meant. The case was not a straightForward one. After their previous conversation, she was convinced that she had the way out till she went on to do some more underground findings and discovered that Magnus legally bought the school which was a fact unknown to Marcus.“You know what I think,” Marcus began to say, “I think we need to arrest him right away. He is trying to demolish the structure. I doubt that he has got any good intentions for that school
The violence persisted, ferociously upon her body. Each passing minute was yelling, kicking, punching or hitting against her body.Camelia let out shrieking screams till her lungs could no longer supply her the required air to let out screams and she simply moaned in pain.Yet, her defiance overrode her nagging desire for freedom from the terror she was forced to endure.The raunchy looking fellow who seemed like the leader of the gang that Derek invited to handle her, held up his hand to stop his fellow rogues.“Lady, are you ready to start talking now?” His hoarse voice queried Camelia with his hard gaze fixed on her swollen face.She could barely see as her left eye was swollen and the right one was bloodied.She shut her eyes and let the tears flow down freely, trying so hard to keep her shaky lips calm.The fellow jabbed her aggressively, growling at her to respond or he would resume his torture.“Do whatever you like!” Camelia groaned and burst into heartfelt tears. “I will neve
Jessica was walking out of the hospital to meet up with Marcus where he was waiting in the car for her and then her phone rang.She stops in her tracks to see the caller. Her heart raced with excitement as bestie appeared on the screen.“It is Camelia! Camelia is calling me!” She yelped with excitement and rushed to Marcus's Side of the car.Marcus got down from the car to hear the phone conversation. He did not seem quite convinced and thought a foul play was probably going on with her abductors.Jessica took the call and expectantly only to hear a male voice call her name:“Jessica…”Her heart sank. The voice was familiar. A few weeks ago, she had heard Camelia having a phone conversation with Mr. Derek and this was the same voice that she heard that day over that conversation.She felt a pang of fear knock against her chest and she became sweaty and uncomfortable.Yet, she had to ask for confirmation.“Who is this?” Her words were loose and shaky.“Jessica…Jessica. Today is World F
Her mind was still racing uncontrollably. She could not keep a hold on her emotions. She was depressed by her friend's disappearance and more by the man who held her captive.Her hands were visibly shaking and Marcus could see it as he drove her to a gadget store.“You need to calm down, Jessica. I understand that you might be too scared and perturbed by the entire situation but I advise that you maintain Calmness as that can keep you an edge over him.”Though his voice was calm yet it was not soothing for her. It was a scary era for Jessica.All the while that her friend Camelia talked about how dangerous Derek was, she never saw it in the light she now did.Now she understood better how cruel he was and she could not help but feel scared and perturbed. Her heart beat rose and fell hastily.“I have plans on how to get him down. You need not bother. I would just need you to get Camellia to release the passcode to him and then you will have a mic and a tracker on you.”Jessica glanced
The large, dusty warehouse reverberated with the voices of Magnus and Maxwell as they drew out plots on how to take down their common enemy, Marcus.He had become such a thorn in their flesh that they simply could not wait for him to be brought down or torn down like a piece of clothing.The two men stood, facing each other, surrounded by their heavily guarded men, they dissected possible options in how to destroy Marcus.“His guts eats me up daily,” Magnus sneered, throwing a furious glance at Maxwell.“You know I feel worse! He just wants to prove that his family is the richest and most influential at all times, like we all need to worship the ground he walks on.”Magnus sipped his spirit and shook his head.“We really should not have let him go weeks back when we had the perfect opportunity to end his game by taking his life, you know.” His voice was deep with regrets.“I still think we did the right thing, Magnus. He just stepped into the limelight and any foul play would have lef
“You would not tell me the passcode, right?” Derek asked Jessica, shaking her vigorously. She was blue with fear and uncertainty and Camelia was not regaining consciousness yet and then Marcus had not arrived yet.She was looking at their lives as over. Her mind dabbled in fear.“Why are you two being adamant?” His voice roared through the entire warehouse. “Your friend would not let out the passcode, neither would you!”“I could get her to tell you the passcode if we can resuscitate her,” Jessica begged, her voice rusty with anxiety.“And if we resuscitate her and you are unable to carry out this promise? What would become of you?”Jessica swallowed hard as his question raised doubts within her. She wondered if she would succeed in convincing Camelia. She knew that her friend was a very firm person and would not easily tilt towards another view point and if she had given her life almost, protecting this cause, she may as well keep it to herself forever.There was no way for her to re
Marcus and Sam were driving towards Jessica's location till suddenly, he lost signal.“I do not seem to have her on the feed again,” Marcus mentioned in his voice showing how worried he was.“You think she might be in trouble?” “I am sure she is!” Marcus replied sharply, bringing the car to a sudden halt. “She was being tracked till suddenly it went out of transmission. Possibly, Derek noticed the tracker and if he did, he most certainly would not handle it likely. The man is dangerous.”“Hmmm,” Sam gasped, stretching out in the car. “What do we do? We have to proceed using the last feed.”“That would be best. Where we are now seems like a dense forest. We just have to keep going on foot till we are able to locate her. I gave her my word and I must fulfil it.”“Mehn! That is too dangerous!” Sam groaned as they got out of the car. He was not entirely happy about getting on such an expedition with Marcus but he did not have a choice.***Derek held up the object with anger boiling insi
Derek stood and made sure that his men stuffed the two women into the van.His cruel nature would not ease anytime soon. He was dead serious about putting them through trauma and eventually destroying their lives and the evidence which he thought he had completely destroyed.“What do we do next boss?” His secondhand man asked, standing before him like an obedient slave and waiting for his instruction.“I do not know to what extent these cunts have gone with this case but I want to believe that it will end if we blow them both up.”A sneer appeared on his face as the secondhand man's face was etched with shock.“Blow them up?” The man asked, his widened eyes gradually closing up. “As in you mean with a bomb?”Derek laughed hysterically, waving his hand at the man in a dismissal form.“Of course. As in blow them up with a bomb. Do you not agree with this?” The younger man started to nod and then shook his head.“Not like I have a problem with this but I hope that this would not end up b
