..“I’m pregnant.”“You are pregnant! Oh wow! I love you so much!”“Hahahaha easy…easy…don’t forget we are two now.”….William’s mind drifted back to seven years ago. When his wife had just informed him that she was pregnant, that was when he felt it. Clarissa and his unborn baby was his world.…“Congratulations Mr. Axton. Your wife has given birth to a bouncing baby girl.”“Yes! Can I see them now?”“Yes of course.”….“Oh wow! She’s so cute!”…..Six years ago William vowed in his heart to protect Clarissa and the beautiful baby on her arm. The very moment he saw Amelia, something deep within him lit up. William couldn’t tell what it was but he could guess it was the feeling of being a father.He would rather die than let anything happen to his family.William sat inside the moving RollsRoyce Limousine lost in thought with a frown on his face.“Don’t worry we will do everything to make sure Lady Clarissa is safe.” Mr. Clark’s voice broke William out of his stupor. He was sitting
..“I take it that you all are not from here?” The Antique seller asked.“How did you know we are not from here?” This time Mr. Clark asked.“That’s because in Mercy Hill everyone knows you don’t find the jade master, he finds you.” The antique seller eyes glistened in disappointment when he knew he couldn’t help them properly. He wanted compensation but the truth was no one knows where the Jade master is.William was disappointed when he heard the antique seller reply. How will they find this jade master? From the man’s reply finding this jade master is going to be harder than they thought.“Is there any clue as to how we can find him? Or get him to find us?” William asked.“Honestly I don’t know but the only thing I can say to help you now is that to increase your chances of him finding you, go to any of the stores where they do stone gambling. You have better chances of asking there.” The man answered honestly.“Thanks for your time.” Mr Clark said as he stretched out his hands of
..“I’ll pay five hundred thousand dollars for it!” A voiced resounded in the entire shop.“I’ll pay six hundred thousand dollars.” Another bidder screamed at the top of his lungs.“I’ll pay six hundred and fifty thousand dollars!”Just like that the bidding for the purple fashola jade started. It was a high level jade and highly level are rare. It is exactly because of this reason almost everyone did their best to get it. Some of the bidders were in the jade industry while some just wanted the jade to make jewelries for themselves. Whatever their reasons were for getting the jade William did not care.All he wanted to do was to catch the Jade master’s attention and this is the only best plan they have right now.“I’ll pay seven hundred thousands dollars for the jade you bastards!”“I’ll pay eight hundred thousand dollars for the jade!”“I’ll pay a million bucks!”Hearing someone saying a Million dollars none of the rest bidders bothered to offer anything higher than that. The jade
..Seeing that the workshop was already filled Charles nodded in satisfaction. Everything was going as planned.Their plan was to cut out so many jades simultaneously that they will cause a sensation. Seeing the crowd of people in the workshop meant their plan was working. By now everyone in the antique market should be talking about it. If this can’t get the jade master’s attention then they don’t know what will.“It’s a Queen’s green!” The worker screamed with excitement!Never in his life has he cut out three high level Jade simultaneously like this. Feeling the number of eyes on him made him feel like a superstar.However, his boss felt sad in his heart. If he were to be the one cutting the jade he would already be very rich. He could only sigh in disappointment. Why is he having an unnecessary wish? There was no way he was sure that he will be lucky as the young man. The only way he will get these amounts of jade he’s getting is that he would have take to the gamble to start cut
..Edward Miller took Charles to another room that was private for only both of them.Inside the room was a luxurious table and sets of chairs. The ceilings were made of rocks.There was no trace of light from the windows. The only light William could identify outside the enclosed room was artificial.“I’m sure you can tell already.” Charles said. “It’s underground.”He was right. His guess was underground and Charles statement has just confirmed it.“Can I ask you why you chose to come to me instead of all the other four families?” Edward asked. “Going to any of the other three families for information would’ve been way more easier and it won’t have eaten much of the time those above the table gave you?”“It was risky but you are the best person I can ask for information out of all of them.” William answered.“Why?” Edward Miller asked with his cheek resting on his hand.“Because you are the best among them. Your family is not number one in rank by mistake. Alexis told me no one h
..Edward could’ve just chosen to remain the way he is and not go against those above the table but that sounded so impassive….it felt so boring when he thought about it. Among with the anger he had for those above the table for hurting his mother, he knew staying without doing anything will only continue giving those above the table power.If it was anyone else responsible for his mother’s death they probably will be dead by now, however, those above the table are too powerful for the Miller family to take on but if he can get an opportunity to take on those above the table he will. Edward doubted if William had a solid plan and the complete capability to take on those above the table but if there’s a slight chance he does…he’s willing to take it.“What do we have to do?” Edward asked.Seeing that Edward was willing to give him listening ears William opened his mouth. “First off we can’t do things like the way we all did in the past.”“What do you mean?” Edward was curious.“You all
..Mercy Hill.“What’s going on?!” A man asked with curiosity when he noticed that everyone was moving to the center of the village.The children were all running to the center as if their life depended on it. No one was looking settled enough to answer him. He was unable to withdraw his curiosity so he caught a child that was running behind his friends.The child reacted out of fear.“Calm down. Calm down.” The man tried his possible best to calm my the child down. “What is going on in the center of the village?”The child sniffed in his nose. “They say there are planes in the village centre.”“Planes?”“Can I go now mister?” The child asked.“Oh yes you can.” The man came out of his stupor.Mercy Hill was always known for being quiet so why were planes landing here today of all time. The browned haired man tried to ponder about it but no matter how hard he did he couldn’t come up with an answer.“Okay Jason…you just have to go see for yourself. “ The browned haired man said as he w
..Morgan Residence.Clarissa was looking through the window of the mansion with a worrying expression on her face.“Something is wrong right.” Madam Morgan voice broke Clarissa out of her stupor“Madam Morgan. How are you?” Clarissa smiled trying to be nice.“I’m fine my child. Amelia is already sleeping by the way. Today I won in tiring her out.” Madam Morgan chuckled.“Hahaha well the little tigress might be at full power tomorrow.” Clarissa cheered.“Well I would be ready for her.” Madam Morgan laughed out loud.“Now let’s be serious” Madam Morgan voice became stern as she looked at the outside. “You can tell that something is wrong. New set of bodyguards keep coming from the families under our umbrella to guard the Morgan residence.”Clarissa’s glanced outside through the window to see so many set of bodyguards guarding every spot of the Morgan residence so much that there was no blind spot. Since the very day her husband went away with Mr. Clark for his trip the Morgan residenc
