Michael takes a deep breath and looks at Lucian, who is doing so much to hide his emotions, for a moment and shakes his head before continuing, "Her friend, Marilyn Stone, didn't escape their clutches as well, but unlike your mum, she wasn't killed, she was only ruthlessly raped. "All this was made possible because the assholes were armed and shot the powerhouses I ordered to protect your mum before they could even act. After the footage ended, I noticed that they left their guns at the scene and left. 'Perhaps, they forgot it' I thought and was so filled with euphoria thinking they would be useful but then I remembered they wore hand gloves throughout the mission and as such, there was no how we could find their fingerprints. "However, I didn't give up and ordered my men to get the revolvers and we traced them to where they were purchased, only to see that the old man illegally selling them was already killed and his shop burnt down with him. They had purposely led us on as they kne
But to Michael's dismay, as he steps out of the suite and looks around, he sees no trace of Lucian at all. It's just as if Lucian completely vanished from the restaurant! His pupils constrict and his jaw drops. "How is that even possible?" He gasps, utterly flabbergasted. As a martial and sade artist himself, he is, of course, no ordinary man and his speed is ten times faster than the speed of the fastest man in the world so naturally it shouldn't be surprising that he finds it extremely shocking that he couldn't catch up to Lucian who had only just left the suite less than a minute ago. But that's not all. The most shocking part of it all is the fact that he had darted out at his highest speed yet he couldn't even catch a glimpse of Lucian's silhouette, let alone him. "Such speed," he inhales sharply.He has always known that Lucian has extraordinary speed, but he didn't imagine it could reach this level. Never in his life even as an artist did he imagine any mortal being could be
Meanwhile, at the end of Massachusetts Avenue, where Granola Heaven is located, a sudden violent and strong breeze blows, raising dust into the air, and the next second, Lucian's afterimage flashes, after which he appears, coming to an abrupt halt.His gaze instantly sweeps around his surrounding, taking in every bit of it. But even after looking and looking, he doesn't still realize where he is. Everything appears so foreign to his eyes.The last time this kind of a thing happened was in Aurora, two days ago. He had run only to arrive where he didn't know. He can't believe this is happening again. How would he get back if he doesn't even know where he is? His face crinkles."You seem lost," however, at this moment, an elderly woman, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, walks up to him and says whilst staring skeptically at him. "Are you?"Lucian flushes in embarrassment. How can he tell this elderly woman who just appeared from nowhere, seemingly with the intention to help him find h
"That-" the elderly woman now has a complicated expression on her face. This guard wasn't here when she and Lucian started talking but he seems to have casually said exactly how things were turning out between her and Lucian in just one breath.Just a few minutes ago, in between their discussion, Lucian had begun telling her stories of his mum, who he claims suffered the same fate as her daughter. It even turned out that his mum as he claimed bore the same name as her daughter, and that realization made her begin thinking things. Things like if both stories are related or if it is a mere coincidence.But thinking deeper into what the guard said, she is beginning to think that he might actually be saying the truth and everything that happened between her and Lucian must have been staged by him; him suddenly standing lost at the end of the avenue, and she approaching him because she couldn't stand seeing him get lost, which sparked everything that followed.Perhaps, he already knew ab
"Pftt! Pfft!" He spits out two mouthfuls of blood, and his eyes roll far back into his head as he momentarily passes out. This was initially not the plan as Lucian had planned to kill him, but at the last second, just as his foot was about to slam against the bodyguard, he had a change of heart.Unlike the bodyguard, Lucian has never been a cold-hearted person who would kill someone in cold blood. Before he would kill anyone, the person must have repeatedly stepped on his bottom line. The guard was yet to do that so he decided to let him live.Besides, the guard is merely a trained expert of a wealthy family as he can see, not a fully drilled martial artist, so he felt there was no satisfaction in it if he killed him, and he also didn't want to dirty his hands with the murder of such an insignificant being. He couldn't stoop that low.However, he might not have killed the guard, but he sure dealt him a huge blow. As a matter of fact, the guard would never be able to walk again, let
The colors on the faces of the bodyguards fade and chills run down their spines, causing them to shiver explicitly and break out in cold sweats."That-" endless fear courses through their veins, their palms greased with sweat and their backs prickling. Lucian's aura is so menacing that they feel so tyrannized.And, despite his placid demeanor, his voice sounds like the voice of Lucifer himself; so cold, terrifying, bloodcurdling, and devilish. It causes them so much dread. Like, it is so choking and overwhelming."You guys appear to be afraid of me, so why do you still want to fight me? Have you forgotten what happened to your boss? Or perhaps don't you fancy your lives and just want to end up like him?" Knowing that his voice and aura arouse so much fear in them, Lucian sneers sinisterly."W... We actually have no intention of fighting you!" One of them stutters through gritted teeth, his face flushed and his breath raspy. "Just get on with your life and leave our Mistress alone and
"You killed our brother!" One of them, teary-eyed, thunders. "I'll make you pay!" He furiously darts at Lucian.But fortunately for him, Lucian doesn't have time for him or that. He casually swerves his shoulder to avoid him and darts after Mark. But at this moment, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan initially parked a few steps away suddenly pulls over in front of Mark and he opens the door and pushes the elder woman inside."Noo! Wait!" Lucian yells and increases his pace, but before he can get to her, the car has already zoomed off. "Ah!" He yells in an unearthly voice, clearly exasperated, and furiously punches the air whilst staring at the zooming car longingly."You!" A few minutes later, he turns to lash out at Mark, only to realize that they have all left. And they carried Thunder and Terror along. Guess their aim was really to take the elderly woman away, not to fight him. But even at that, it is so infuriating! "Idiots! Rats! Imbeciles!" He curses repeatedly and pulls on his hair.
His body tenses, his breath catches in his throat, and intense rage courses through his veins, adding to the rage he was already feeling. "Assholes! I despise assholes with so much passion!" He hisses, and taps his foot, dashing toward the building. "Bitch, you have such a running mouth! It's infuriating! We hate talkative ladies! We only like our ladies to talk when they are moaning to our touch. I should hit you a few times to shut your fucking mouth up but I'm not doing so only because we want to have you for the night, and have never liked our women stained before we have them."But if you talk again, you would be stepping on my bottom line! And trust me, whoever does, has his or her lips broken in the end! I hope you be a good girl and don't bring harm to your flawless body," A cold domineering voice snaps back at the girl."But my boyfriend did nothing to you three yet you are ruthlessly hitting him! How can I shut up?!" Not ready to back down, she yells dejectedly, tears stream
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
