Just a day before yesterday, their Patriarch, Michael was all over the moon as he declared that he'd found his long-lost son and heir to the family. They were so overjoyed for him because they knew how long he had searched for this son of his. And also for themselves because the family finally had an Heir.They were so looking forward to meeting Lucian sometime soon, only for them to receive a call from Chad Kennedy that a sudden send-off will be taking place as Lucian, Michael's son and their heir has been stabbed to death.They couldn't believe it. Nah, Michael himself is a powerful man, so they expected his son to be as well. They couldn't believe that any man born out of a woman could kill him. But fate proved them wrong when Michael arrived in the family Mansion with a dead Lucian in his arms and tears in his eyes. They had never seen their Patriarch looking so miserable. But they did at that moment. The cheerful carefree Michael was looking so dull and could even walk with the c
Catherine is not left out, although she is not making a scene like Helen and Michael, she can't help her tears. She'd met Lucian just once, but that once was enough to make her carried away by everything about him. She still can't believe Lucian is really gone despite the fact that his corpse is right there in front of her. She really can't believe it! Ah! Her heart aches. It feels like there's a fire burning in it. It burns. It really burns."Mr. Hutton," at this moment, the old priest calmly says and looks up at him. "I've committed the soul of your son into the hands of our maker and I've asked him to console you and your family. Take heart. Take heart. I know it's not easy but take heart. The holy book says there's a time for everything. Even though this is the wrong time for your son to die, we can only believe it was his time to go. As you know, God knows best."With that said, it's time to send him off now. You and your family can go ahead to do that.""Hah! Finally!" At a cor
Anyone looking at Mason would think he is the best cousin brother in the world. His face is so pitiful that one wouldn't think he is still the same young man with this horrendous thought. Even Michael is deceived as he looks at him with so much compassion in his eyes and ambles into his arms. Guess he is too emotional to see through Mason's pretentious act.For several minutes, Michael bawls his eyes out in Mason's arms and after a while, regains his composure. He looks at Mason apologetically as he says, "I didn't mean to do that. My emotions got the better part of me.""It's fine," Mason shrugs with a smile. "You are my brother. I understand your pain. Offering my body for you to cry on is nothing. It's the least I could do. And I'm actually honored you still find your brother's arms soothing enough to cry on to calm your nerves! It's soul-relieving!"'Hah! You are lucky we are in front of our relatives! If it were we had been behind closed doors, I'm certain your son wouldn't have b
Mr. Young passes his hand over his mouth in awe as he admires what a human he is! Ah! His sharp senses are second to none and his instincts are at the top of their games."Why do you look so proud of yourself? What does the SMS say?" Dani probes inquisitive eyes at Mr. Young, barely keeping himself from rolling them."Hmm," Mr. Young doesn't more than that and calmly passes the phone to him for him to see for himself."Ah!" Dani can't help but gasp the moment he is done reading the text. Instantly, as if controlled by an unknown spirit, he dials the number, only to receive an Interactive Voice Response that the line has been switched off. Goosebumps appear all over him and his breath catches. This young man just sent this SMS a second ago and now, his phone is already off? How is that possible?It so happens that the SMS Declan was killed for was indeed received by Mr. Young, but not when it was sent, several minutes later! This is naturally why the number is not going through becaus
"Sparrow and the rest of his team were fully prepared this time, Dad! Ah!" Dani gasps in drop-dead terror and a hint of fear unconsciously flashes in his eyes.He has always believed that as long as his father is around, nothing bad can happen to him. After all, they are a powerful family in Aurora and one of the very first-rate families.But with the incidents that have ensued today and his father's current response to his statement, he can see now that even his father seems to be helpless in this situation!He doesn't need anyone to tell him that because thinking about it, the fact his father could stand there and watch Death Pool attack him was enough to show him that. And now, his response has also just done nothing but add to it!"Hmm," he sighs dejectedly. Seems, he is done for and there is really no way for him to escape what is about to befall him! Hah! Frantic tears well up in his eyes and his shoulder droops as he gloomily stares down at the ground.But all of a sudden, as i
THE HUTTONS' MANSION– FAMILY'S BONE ORCHARD...Lucian has just been brought out to the lavish Hutton family's bone orchard, which is roughly 1200 square meters in size, and a neat grave for where he will be buried has been dug. His grave happens to be amongst the prestigious graves of the Patriarchs of the Huttons from generation to generation! It started right from Mr. Hutton, the first, down to Michael's father, Mr. Homer Hutton!Naturally, the next grave in the list should have been the grave of another Patriarch, which should be Michael after he grew old and died, but now, Lucian's grave took place before his!Such a heart-wrenching sight to behold!Helen's sob is louder this time. And not just her, even Mr. Chad Kennedy and the rest of the Hutton family are sobbing. The tall burly figure who is standing beside Michael can't also help himself! He'd just met Lucian yesterday yet he fell in love with everything about him and was looking forward to serving him with all his heart and
Aurora is in a frenzy. The reason for this, so many of the citizens are oblivious to. This is because as promised to Mr. Howard, none of his teammates have said anything to anyone and most of the citizens and netizens are in the dark. Meanwhile, within the shadows, the search for Dani and Mr. Young has taken a new drastic level as the cops are now doing house-to-house searches for them.It's late afternoon now, since morning Sparrow and the rest of his teammates have scoured every nook and cranny and yet there's no sight of Mr. Young or Dani anywhere! It's just like the two just suddenly disappeared from Aurora with no trace whatsoever. They have gone to Blood Fury Utopia, the Youngs Mansion, Mountain Mercado, blocked every root, and even held Parker captive to get him to confess where they are, but the man is hell-bent on the fact that he knows nothing!Sparrow and Death Pool are so exhausted. After searching the searchable places, while the cops did house searches, they went as f
5 P.M. AURORA...The sky is darkening. And for a moment the frenzy state of the city has dissipated a little as the searching and all that has stopped.But this doesn't last long anyway as in no time, Michael arrives in Aurora with his guards, exuding a deadly aura as they make their way to the Youngs family Mansion in a convoy...At this moment, a graceful beautiful young lady who should be in her mid-thirties or forties is sitting in the Youngs' family Mansion living room with a troubled expression on her face. Since her husband and son left, they have not come back home. She is not troubled because they have not, but because she is hoping they are still alive. It has not been long since Leon Chamberlain released her and the rest of her family members, that is after Sparrow and the rest came to look for her husband and her son. This is why she is troubled because she knows everything that has happened today.This woman is none other than Mrs. Florence Young, the wife of Mr. Young
Dear readers, I know I've wronged so many of you by not updating for so long. 😭😭I'm sorry. so so sorry. I've been caught up with my second book A Billionaire After Divorce and school. I graduated last year.I promise, I'll try my best to resume writing in March. Unfailingly. Since I left the book for so long, I'll need to read it again and refresh my memory then dive in. Please give me just one more month and I'll resume updating. I hope you guys can still stick with me. Thank you. From your lovely author, GHOSTWRITER.
Perhaps he believes as far as he pushed down his ego and begged, he would undoubtedly be forgiven. After all, Lucian is a man who appears to be easily moved by apologies, regardless if they were genuine or not.But he had got it all wrong this time as Lucian merely scoffs as soon as he finishes putting up the forgive me drama and retorts,"Fancy you kneeling there and yelling I shouldn't do this when you brought it upon yourself. Hah! I've been patient enough with you, but I see you might be taking my benevolence for weakness and dismissing me as a pushover you can snap at and curse whenever you want. "As a result, I might pardon others as they didn't concur or refute you when you said what you said, but I would never pardon you! "Since you've finally succeeded to cross my bottom line, you might as well bear the consequences! Only after you've suffered that would you realize how ruthless I am as a person and know that I'm no pushover!"He sways his gaze to Chester. "Keep away from
With each word Lucian says, Cole and his brothers feel a pang in their chests that by the time he is done talking, their chests can't help but begin aching. Simultaneously, their brows crinkle and their face contort in discomfort. This is indeed what they planned to do. They'd suffered so much just because of the useless little girl and her boyfriend.Obviously, there was no way they would have let that lying down. It was just as Lucian said, they'd silently planned in their hearts to seek revenge against him later because they had to verify his identity first but would go ahead to kill the little girl and her boyfriend immediately since they already know their statuses. Like, they had not been planning to let that revenge-seeking cross today.They've always loved serving their revenge hot. But what they never expected is that Lucian will easily figure out their untold plans. A plan they had not even discussed amongst themselves but harbored only in their respective hearts. They
'My sister,' as those simple yet powerful words leave Lucian's lips and infiltrate the little girl's eardrums, an overwhelming sensation course through her veins, and her eyes well up with tears. She doesn't know why, but hearing Lucian refer to her as his sister makes her so aroused and emotional.Maybe because she never had a big brother, let alone one who would stand up for her so selflessly. What aggravates her emotions even more is the fact that Lucian knows nothing about her. Like, he has never met her before yet he is so willing to go to the ends of the world for her. The knowledge that she now has a stranger as a big brother and a powerful one at that is quite weird yet so overwhelming and soothing."Thank you, thank you so much," she can't help but express her heartfelt gratitude. "I'm really grateful!" Her eyes sparkle and she pouts, looking much like a pouting kitten.Lucian is instantly overwhelmed with the strong urge to laugh as the little girl is so amusing right now w
Callum's brows furrow and his face contort in displeasure. At this moment, he seemingly appears to be both perplexed and displeased. According to what the little girl said, she accepted his apologies. He is sure he heard that right, so why should he apologize to her again, or could it be that the girl was merely being sarcastic?But it doesn't seem that way. In that case, that can only mean she meant it and that Lucian is the one who is twisting her words for whatever reason. An acid taste creeps into his tongue and he clenches his fists.Since Lucian now calls the shots, he must be doing it on purpose to trample on his ego and shatter it if possible.His nose flares up in rage and he furiously turns, seemingly as if he wants to pick a fight with him, but as his gaze lands on Rome and Chester's murderous faces, a chill runs down his spine and he jerks twice as if he had been electrocuted."I-""You are twisting my words!" Before he can say anything, the little girl says helplessly an
The little girl is gaping at Callum as if she is seeing him for the first time and her heart is thumping so strongly, loudly, and quickly, a cloudburst of blood surging through her veins in tides upon tides. Who would have guessed that Callum, one of the burly figures who seemed so powerful and tyrannical to her would be reduced to this?She is so stunned at the sudden twist in events that her jaw is practically dropping to the floor, and she doesn't in the slightest know how to handle it. Regardless, she is just a pauper who has spent her entire life in the slums and is at the bottom of society. As a result, her self-esteem has taken a significant hit, plummeting to an all-time low. And this has had so many negative effects on her, one of which is the fact that she has, over the years, grown accustomed to being the one begging others, and with the exception of her boyfriend, who begs her occasionally when he offends her, no one else has ever begged her. One could imagine just how bi
"That's very easy," Lucian grins darkly. "Don't they like to fuck anything in a skirt? We can as well have them try something new!" "Something like what, My Lord?" Rome doesn't even let a second pass as he quickly asks, his eyes gleaming with so much curiosity in them."Something like fucking the same gender!" Lucian sneers and passes his tongue over his lower lip, exuding a sinister aura."Wow!" Rome gasps and an ecstatic smile breaks out on his face. "You sure deserve to be My Lord!" He proclaims with so much reverence, admiration, and pride in his voice and bows 90°. Yes, this is the formidable Python Lord he has pledged to serve for the rest of his life! He sure lives up to his name!"I have no doubt that this is a nice blood-rising plan, My Lord, but there are no new guys here, so even if that was possible, who would they lay with?" Chester twists his brows disconcertingly as he implores, seemingly not that enthusiastic yet."How can you be so slow-witted?" Lucian frowns. "Do the
"Such a bunch of cowards!" Rome hisses, glaring disdainfully at Cole and his brothers. "For experts with such murderous auras, I assumed you guys would be at least interesting and hard nuts to crack but turns out you three are so pathetic and a disgrace to your expertise! You don't deserve to be called experts at all as you are just a useless bunch of scared mice! "Gosh, you three might be the death of me if I don't take time because you infuriate me to no end!" Rome is so provoked that his babbling spirit suddenly takes over him and he loses rationality and begins babbling and babbling at the top of his lungs, his eyes bloodshot and his fists clenched so tightly that they now bright red and might start bleeding anytime soon if he doesn't control his rage and loosen up."Buddy," seeing this, Chester doesn't waste a second as he smacks him on the head, yelling, "Earth to me!"Rome shudders violently, almost dropping to the floor, but Chester is fast to catch him and steady him. "This
"But I've already been struck before," before Carl and Callum can bring themselves to say anything, Cole, who had assumed he wouldn't be included in the beating since he has already been struck by Rome and suffered a vital blow, says in a barely audible whisper, his voice full of so much reverence and his face flustered.It's not that he respects Lucian, or fears him, nah, not at all. To him, Lucian is still a lad who doesn't deserve his respect. So what if he might be an heir to a top-tier family? Does he have what it takes to command respect from a man of his skills?Hmph! He's just a fragile heir who only has his family to rely on, and without them, he is nothing. He has never taken all these heirs seriously because the majority of them are utterly useless and incompetent. They can't even fight themselves out of danger and would always depend on their guards.Their very existence irritates him and as such his reverence towards Lucian just now is only because of Rome and Chester at h
