It was quite obvious what Anna was trying to do. She was trying to stake a claim. The claim was that she wanted to prove openly that Cory was her boyfriend."Anna!" Cory could not take it anymore. He has been quiet all along because he understood what she was trying to do, but now he was clueless. He wouldn't let her drag him into something that he might regret later. "Come with me." He held her by the wrist and led her away from Sheiley and Harry. "What's all this about?" He asked, finally letting go of her. They were about a couple of distance away from the couple."I don't know what this feeling is, Cory." Anna answered, staring him in the eyes. "But I put my trust in you. I believe that you have the potential to become a great person if you allow yourself to break out of the barrier of the mind." Anna said. Cory didn't know what to say to this. He had asked her an entirely different question, and she was saying something else. "Okay. Thank you." Cory nodded firmly, not will
Harry felt glued to the spot. It was as though he was a rock. He couldn't move. He was frozen. The call he had just received was a detrimental one. A call that could change everything for the worst. He immediately tried to call his father back, but the call did not go through. His father had just called him to warn him to escape. The only reasonable explanation that his father gave to him was just about six words. "Lord Theo will not spare us." The words were still fresh in his mind. His heart started to drum emphatically. It would seem as though his heart would pop out, tearing out of the chest. He knew who Lord Theo was. Lord Theo was like a nightmare to any businessman in the country. No one dared to cross his path. So, just what had his father done to provoke Lord Theo? Is there any running away from Lord Theo? Even if you hide in the deepest of the earth, the ruthless underground Mafia Lord will dig you out without breaking a sweat. Sweat pooled at every corner of Harry's
To Cory, it seemed as though the more moments he spent with Anna, the more she tried to confuse him. For a split second, he could have thought she was trying to pull a prank on him, but looking at how serious and intentional her facial expression was, he realised that she meant every word she had just said. "Although you were able to detect the poison, how can we guarantee that I will be really safe henceforth?" Anna asked. "What do you mean?" Cory was trying not to miss the point that she was trying to stress. "My father owns so many thugs. In short, he owns a myriad of them. Yet the multitude of thugs he has couldn't protect me from the poison. Even I didn't know how I could have been poisoned, let alone the thugs." She went silent for quite a while. "You are the only one who found out about it. If I have you around me all the time, then I won't have to worry about my safety. Because..." She lowered her voice as she walked closer to him. She didn't want her driver to hear what
The lanky man who was now standing in front of Cory was quite terrifying. He was about ten feet tall. Cory had never seen anyone so tall. He couldn't have imagined that there was anyone who was so tall. While his mind processed this, he couldn't help but burst out into another form of confusion. How did this man find himself in his bathroom?When did the man enter into the building, let alone coming all the way to the bathroom. Did the shower attract the man?"Son." The man called at Cory. His call kicked Cory out of the wandering thoughts. This time, when he gazed closely, he realized that there was a hue of brilliance that encircled the strange man. The man was dressed like emperors from the classic Chinese kingdoms. His face shone almost like the sun. Everything about the man screamed extraordinary. "I've finally found a channel with which to contact you." The man continued saying. Cory's mind quickly processed what the man had just said. The man had just called him 'son' If
Cory rose to his feet. At this moment, he felt really refreshed and light. Although when he had seen the trance, his heart was engulfed heavily by sadness, but it felt like something took all the gloom away. It was as though a light had shone out of nowhere on his whole existence. There was a hint of pain that lingered in his heart, but because the sadness had vanished, he couldn't hold on to it. The disappearance of his father must have taken all his sadness away. He walked out of the bathroom and got dressed up. His stomach was beginning to make some funny noise. He hadn't had anything to eat since the day broke. It was such a long day for him. He knew that he would have to take time for himself and have a recount of everything that had happened to him since the beginning of today. He settled in one of the couches and shut his eyes for a while. He took in as much deep breaths as possible in order to clear his head. Whatever he was about to do right now would impact his decision
Cory stood his ground. He found no reason for him to be scared by the both of them. There was no use for it. In short, if they knew what he was capable of at this moment, they wouldn't dare to provoke him, let alone pick a fight. He didn't want to have a ruffle with them either, so he was planning to leave as soon as possible to go get the food. "Are you following us?" Sheiley stopped in front of him as she accused him frantically. Cory felt the impulse to laugh at how foolish she sounded, but he held it back. If he laughed hard, it would only make him hungrier. "Do you have no shame, Cory? How dare you follow us to my penthouse?" Harry raised his voice, his eyes getting red as he approached Cory. This is a wealthy neighborhood, so Harry happened to own a penthouse here. Harry stopped next to Sheiley. The couple was glaring death at Cory. At times like this, Cory could not help but wonder if Sheiley was a total stranger. "Do you hear how dumb you sound?" Cory retorted, staring
Cory walked away. "Come back here!!! Where do you think you are going?" Sheiley screamed so loudly her throat would tear. She was caught between the claws of chasing Cory and going to attend to her boyfriend. She couldn't believe what had just happened, yet she knew that she had to decide quickly. She stopped in her tracks, panting heavily as she watched Cory walk away. She gritted her teeth, her face turning red, yet she couldn't do a thing. When she heard Harry groaning behind her, she quickly turned around and hurried to him. "Babe. Are you alright?" She reached out to help him up. "Don't touch me!" Harry knocked her hand off, slowly getting up on his feet. Sheiley was stunned by his reaction. This would be the second time that he would treat her this way. Harry felt pain all over his body as he stood up tall. It was obvious that a couple of bones had been broken in his body."Where is that bastard?" Harry wanted to run after Cory. When he made the first two steps, a sever
Cory turned around quickly to see who the person was. At first, the voice was not familiar, and when he turned, the face was neither. A very beautiful, white skinned, and tall lady walked towards the table. She wore a black skimpy gown that revealed almost all her thighs. Her thighs were so clean and succulent to gaze upon. Cory's eyes quickly traced the gown to the face of the lady, but his eyes stopped at the cleaveges. Her breasts looked so handful and well packed. Cory gulped at the sight. He could feel his big man tugging. But then he recalled what the lady had just said! He snapped out of the fantasy. What a fool he was!Looking at the face of the lady finally, his eyes squinted. She was no doubt beautiful. In short, her body shape and beautiful skin did no justice to how pretty she looked. Cory wanted to allow himself to be distracted by her looks again, but the smirk on her face threw him off the positive feelings. "What is a lowlife like you doing in an expensive restaur
