Cephas was surprised with the quick change in power, yesterday, Antonio was ruling the whole den, now Elsa was the commander-in-chief. Even in his father’s company, that never happened. She had sent for him officially through Pedro, unlike in the past, the househelps never had the luxury of gossiping but he had been hearing different news flying up and down.He caught a few glimpses of Elsa while she was visiting the leader of the Lions a few times, she looked so much better and beautiful but not as beautiful as his lover, Tyla.He missed her but there was nothing he could do about it, if he didn’t round things up, it might cost their lives in future. The people here won’t hesitate to kill anyone.Well, that was business, this is some sort of leading a bunch of househelp but it seemed like things were deeper than that. He was really curious about what was going on. He cleared his throat and adjusted his shirt before knocking on the door. She asked him to come in almost immediatel
Cephas had woken up earlier than everyone that morning because Elsa had instructed him to do so. They were going for a walk with Giovanni. He looked at his box before getting up from his bed and his sister crossed his mind.“She will be alright, she has Zoro by her side. He is a capable man,” Cephas said to himself before getting down from the bed. A part of him wondered if she had texted him again but he was too scared to check her text.Her reaction the last time still made him uneasy so he was only going to make progress based on the information she had given him earlier and end this whole thing as soon as possible. This was his fifth month in the Den.It was only right that he finished up here so he would have less things to worry about in future. He washed up and wore the new pair of clothes Elsa gave him then he went to wait in front of her office.Elsa was waiting for Cephas to arrive, but he wasn’t coming , she thought he might have lost interest. She opened the door to her o
Elsa was extremely happy, the Lions had called for an emergency journey to Arizona and he asked her and Cephas to come with him. It was an unexpected incident that she didn't even see coming. The reason why the Lions called the meeting was still unknown to her but it would take nohting to find that. She was going to speeak to Giovanni about it when he settled. Now she confirmed that the heavens were with her in what she was going to do with him. Her journey was going to be quick and short this time. Her goal was to kill all the Lions, burning them in a fire that they won't be able to run from. Killing them the same way they killed her family right in her eyes, let them enjoy the beauty of slow and painful death.She handled all that had to do with Giovanni personally, not allowing anyone else to try his things. Anyone that reported her got punished severely. She was very feared by everyone and no one could question her cats. Cephas walked past her and bowed a bit. “You have been w
Cephas got himself a huge room in the staff’s lounge in Arizona. Compared to his little room back at the den, this was luxury. Of course, it was courtesy of Elsa. She was the only one that could push this kind of button for him, unless each servant had that kind of room.He must say, life in Arizona is way different than back at the den. They had a lot of servants, waiters and househelps. They work in a monthly shift so they only get to work once a month in the casino then they have the rest of the day off.Though he had broken Antonio's news to her, it didn’t make him happy or excited because it was going to delay his plan furthermore. Antonio sure has a way of turning things upside down and only God knows how long it would take this time.. She didn’t seem happy about it too, she was too relaxed for hard things like that going on.The other Lions made sure Antonio came to Arizona, it was jarring that he was being torn. Little did he know their intentions He tried to
113“What’s going on?” Horror was written all over his face as he popped the question out. The fact she was standing out alone in a black dress creeped in out.“What was she up to again?” he asked himself.She grinned at him. “A change of heart and plan. If you were a minute late, you would not have made it out alive.” She gestured to him. “Come over here fast.” He rushed over to her.“KABOOM!” the explosion in the building went off. “Nice” she screamed.“Why did you do this?” he cried out, thinking about the bunch of people they were in there to gamble. Though they have a terrible addiction, they didn't deserve to die.“Innocent people are in there, lots of them.”“None of them are innocent, I would burn down this town if I could,” A weird laughter came out of her mouth. “The criminal needs to leave the scene right before the police come right?”“She grabbed his hand and got on the scooter. “Hop on, Safety first,” he joined her and she drove him back to her family house..“This place
“Big Boss.” Jose yelled as he ran towards Cephas. He engulfed him in a hug. “You are alive,” Cephas had rang them up when he got to the airport about his arrival and asked them to arrange a car for him. Their swift response was like they were waiting for his call at any time, which warmed his heart.They were his employees and family that he never had.Cephas chuckled at Jose’s behavior. He had not changed a bit. “Yes. I am.” Someone like him could not even contact his family because they were all after his position and his younger sister was acting weird to him which was unlike her. He kept his hands crossed that his gut feelings were not true.“We saw the explosion in Arizona, we were scared. We didn;t know what to feel. The chairman has been on best rest since we saw the news.” he said while they both walked into Cephas’ house.Sarah had probably told him about his arrival in Arizona. At least she did some follow up with them. “Arhh, Sarah told you I was there?”“No, you forget
Jose drove Cephas down to his father’s home. He walked into his father’s room, his stepmom and his step siblings were all in there.He had called earlier to tell his father about his arrival back home and that he was coming. He thought that his father would have prepared him for a feast coming out of the Lion’s den alive.When he did not see a busy table downstairs, he thought his father had not informed his stepmom about it. That was why it was quiet downstairs but Sarah should have done something too.“This is a surprise?” He said as he noticed everyone in the room. “Why is everyone here?”He saw Sarah’s face and she didn’t look like she was happy with him. She looked like she could stab him. He wonders why she was wearing such disdain for him on her face. Though her aura had changed during one of their conversations when he was at the Lion’s place.“We are here to reveal your harsh doing.” Sarah replied in a harsh tone that took Cephas by surprise.“Harsh doings?” he asked her and
It was a big party at the Marcus’ family house. Cephas had been doing odd jobs since he had arrived at their home. He was back as the useless-in-lawThey were commemorating Violet’s arrival from jail. Cephas got kicked out by his father. His father was such a powerful man that he even got his personal account locked. He didn't even have time to grieve for his lover. The woman he loved so much, if the Marcus’ were still staying in their former area he would have gone to see Tyla’s room.That was now impossible as they had moved to a bigger house in the town. Their family house was now much bigger. Some cousins now stay with them. Cephas didn’t even know how they were related.He was the only stranger amongst them, what worsened things was they all knew that Violet went to jail because of him.His assistants got fired at the Walter’s corporation so he had no means of communicating with anyone. He was trapped at the Marcus’ house.“I’m in a good mood today. I want to hear what everyone w
