Caroline tried to pull her hand away, but he was a little too aggressive as he pulled her. Also, what he said was still recycled in her head making her wonder in what way she was able to make their mother cry. It wasn’t like they fell out this morning, but then, Caroline was still angry at her for trying to poison August.Now connecting the dots, it just didn’t make sense. Before she knew it, both of them were already in the house, only to be welcomed by the sight of Rachel seated on the couch and crying so hard. Her eyes were swollen, and occasionally, she kept drying her tears with a towel. In summary, she was in a terrible state.Caroline was struck by such sight only for Mark to pour it all out on her. “How dare you make her cry? You were supposed to look after her just like how she carried you for nine months, look after you still you have gotten to this level. Yet, you made her cry? Are you even human at all?” Mark bashed her, leaving her speechless and looking for what to say
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed A serious problem
“August, you are back?” Caroline smiled as she turned towards the door. It felt like it had been forever since she had since him. His face, his body, it felt like he was a piece of art she had yet to study, explore, and understand. Does this mean she was longing for him? Caroline quickly brushed the thoughts off and walked towards him.“I’ve been waiting for you. Where have you been?” Her hand slid into his and she intertwined their fingers. Her warmth surged unto him and all the anger he was feeling before washed away. He smiled and looked at her. “It seems you miss me so much.” He teased.“And I called you ten times. Did you care to call back or check your phone?” She stared daggers at him and her lips pouted.“Tch, perhaps he is seeing another woman outside.” Standing by the side, Mark was irritated by the sight. She was all chummy and smiling with him like he was someone who deserved her. He felt August was filth and never deserved to be around her or anywhere near the house. He
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed The situation is worsening
“What? How is that even possible? Producing fake products? That isn’t like your company, right? Besides, it doesn't have such records until now. What the heck is going on?” August held his chin as he spoke. Already he could tell someone was behind this. He could likely say it was Mark, but how could he make such a big influence? August thought deeply.“I don’t know. I’ve made sure to supervise the production of these products and went to the warehouse to check, but I can’t find any fault with it. I don’t know where the fault might be. And I’m not sure my clients are in the wrong else why would so many of them come at me at once?” Caroline explained.“I am just so tired.” She walked further in and took off her heels. Her body became weak from the thought of what was going on, draining all the energy she had in her body.“Have you talked to the sales department?” August turned towards her.“Yes, I did. “ She nodded.“Who is responsible for all the warehouses? I’ll say it’s the sales de
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed Prime suspects
The receptionist looked at him and then over to Caroline, conflicted if she were to do as he told her in such times, or if there was supposed to be something else they should be focusing on. Such as calling these companies and pleading with them to hold off on their allegations.However, Caroline gave a nod, approving what August said to her.“I will be right back. I bring them over.” She said before walking out of the office.August looked at Caroline who was pale in fright and couldn’t help but tell her what was going on.“I think that indeed fake products are being supplied to your clients and one of these people knows about it.” He said, earning a curious gaze from her.“How? What do you mean?” She asked.“It’s simple. If fake products weren't given to clients, all of them won’t come at you at once. So it’s either the sales department has something to do with this or someone from the company is the backbone of what is going on.” August explained while she listened attentively.“Ok
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed Proven to be true
August gave her a knowing smile as he had already predicted such an outcome. That was the main reason why he called both of them to ask such a question directly. He knew Emily was smart, and through her eyes, he could see she was the type that wished to flee to safety right after. She wouldn’t want to face charges for what she had done.On the other hand, Charlotte was a sacred woman. She wasn’t a vicious type and he could tell. At any moment from now, she might come to confess. Just as the thought crossed his mind, the door came open and Charlotte walked in crying. Before they knew it, she went on her knees and started pleading.“I would rather not do this. I would rather not partake in such a thing. Emily threatened me to help her, or she was going to send people after my family. Please forgive me. I didn’t mean to.” She hadn’t gone to the exact point, but it was already evident what she was referring to.“Where is Emily?” August asked instead, as that was what he was interested i
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed A fugitive on the run
August quickly extended his phone to David, showing off the map and a red pointer located at the eastern part of the map, and was on the move. It was Emily’s car. The map was defined, it had so many navigations showing the nearest routes that could be used to catch up to her.David was quite proficient with driving, so in no time he started diverting into shortcuts at insane speed while chasing after her. Though his attention was on the road, he could not help but ask. “How were you able to figure her out?” “Have you forgotten who I am? I have a strong sense of perception David. I knew something was wrong the moment Caroline explained things to me. And watch out, Mark has something to do with this.” August said with a deadly glint in his eyes.“Mark? That arrogant brat. He has caused so much trouble beyond how you can count. If you like, I can teach him a lesson after this.” David offered.“Don’t worry, I know how to deal with him. I pray he has nothing to do with all this or else
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed I can’t hurt a woman
“Sir there are two people here beside the counter. They seek an audience with you. Please can you come down right away?” The attendant said quickly.“And who could that be? If they are not here to patronize us, tell them to get lost right away!” The manager hollered, sounding uninterested in whoever it was. The attendant became lost on what to say or do. If the manager didn’t come down at this moment then who knows, the next hit might go into the middle of her head. She couldn’t help but look at where August slammed earlier and having seen the weblike crack, her heart palpitated more.Sighing, August dragged the telephone from her before speaking. “Hello, I am the guy who slapped you yesterday, remember? I am here to look for a woman named Emily, but your attendant won’t give me her room number. You better come down here at this instant as my patience is running out.” He warned before hanging up and giving her back the phone.Did he slap the manager yesterday? Everyone in earshot g
The Legendary God Of War; the rise of August Reed Who is Jason?
The process went on for a while. David lessened the pressure of the slap else the impact would have been way worse. By now, not only would her face be swollen like that of a pig, but it would be distorted beyond recognition.“That’s enough.” August raised his hand to stop him. Emily was now breathless and couldn’t stand on her two feet anymore. Her body slumped down to the floor as pain coursed through her veins.“You! How dare you wreck my fine face? Have you no respect for women?” Emily barked, feeling miserable.“I do. But not your kind. With what you have done, you deserve more. You detestable wench.” David sneered.“Start talking. Who is Jason and how is he involved in all this?” August asked again.“He…” Emily stuttered. Even though she was feeling pain all over she knew that revealing the truth would bring more consequences for her so instead, she wanted to say something else.“Don’t even think of lying to me. Or else you won’t just receive only slaps next. I have other ways of

Banished from the family
The words were like a bomb, but only to August and Caroline's ears. As for the others, they were more than pleased to hear such a thing from Ms Winston. It was more like they had been waiting for it to happen since they were the ones who instigated her into it.Besides, everyone wanted to get rid of him, so the feeling was general among them.“No! You can't do that. He is my husband, how can you banish him?” Caroline's eyes widened as she snapped, unable to take it.“And It's because he is your husband that's why he has been banished. Since he feels he can do what he pleases, we don't want him anymore in this family nor our house.” Ms Winston finalized, her eyes portraying a deadly glint.Hearing this, Rachel couldn't hide her happiness. She quickly stepped forward to persuade Caroline and have her view things the way she did.“Caroline, this is better. Your grandmother and everyone have made sure to come up with this because they know it's the best for you. They want to look out for
Passing out judgment
In no time, so many people hop out of the car and behold, they were all family members of the Winston family. From Ms Winston who was the head of the family down to the lowest member of the family. Each of them had frowns of displeasure in their face as they walked down to where August and Caroline were.In total, there were twenty of them. The cars they came with couldn’t fit into the house, so some had to park outside.“Caroline and August, you both outside?” Ms Winston said as she stood in front while he other family member stood behind her back. “Rachel, you are outside too.” She lifted her head towards the door while Rachel walked down to greet her.“Mother, I didn’t know you were coming. And with everyone?” Rachel was tense as she spoke. Having so many family members come to the house meant one thing. Something serious had happened.“And who do you think is the cause? Your son has been locked up in prison after he was beaten to a pulp but this brute.” Ms Winston sneered before h
Giving the car to Caroline
On the other hand, Caroline was on her way home in a taxi when she received a notification on her phone. Her account had been credited with the sum of fifteen million dollars.This made her gasp so loudly that the cab man had to look at her in worry, thinking the worst scenario had happened to her.“Did something bad happen?” He turned around to find her staring at her phone intensely. Realizing she must have raised an alarm, she quickly brushed off the expression on her face and smiled. “Ooh, it's nothing.” She said. Besides how could she start telling him she received such a huge amount of money when after all he was a stranger to her?“I see.” The man looked away and kept on driving.Meanwhile, Caroline remained restless. She became so eager to go home just so she could ask August if he had something to do with this. Or does this mean what he had predicted was right? The money was from Mark. He wouldn't randomly send her money unless maybe…. She clasped her mouth tightly unable t
What do we do now?
While Caroline was still in the company, she received a confession video of Jason stating how he plotted everything and also how Mark was the one who instigated him into it. Then again, it had to be her brother who wanted her downfall more than anything else. Was it that until she had given up and handed over the company back to him, was when he would stop trying to bring her to her demise? Why was it that people who were supposed to be family, and the closest thing you were supposed to have in the world turned out to be worse than one's enemies?In the end, she couldn't bring herself to ask the police to arrest Charlotte. It wasn't her fault since she was threatened by Emily and because she had a kid she was taking care of, Caroline was unable to let such harsh judgment befall her. She was once again put in a tough position, but that didn't mean she was supposed to be heartless. As for Emily and Jason, she made sure to expose what they did in a press conference. Also, she was sure
A thorough beating
Bang!Soon, multiple sounds could be heard as not only was Mark's head driven into the television but even the floor, the flower vase, and even the couch had been smashed with his face. He was now feeling miserable and didn’t dare to say August couldn’t hurt him.He tried to break free from August's grip, but his body was like a trash can that could easily be tossed from here to there“Wait please, let me go. What did I do?” Mark asked feigning ignorance. Though it was ridiculous, it made August stop beating him just to look at his pathetic face.Just then, the lady who August met with Mark in the bedroom scurried out of the house with her handbag and heels in her hand.She didn’t dare to completely dress after seeing how August was dealing with Mark thoroughly. She felt if she didn’t run, then perhaps it might be her turn next.Meanwhile, August didn’t bother with her and just focused on Mark. “Where is the forty million that was sent to you?” He asked. Mark was a big spender and ha
Crashing the party
The bustling of music boomed all over the house and also into the neighbor's houses from around, but somehow, none of them had come out to complain. Perhaps, they were too scared to come out to complain, or even if they had, Mark must have threatened them or either way, bribed them to keep shut now that he had a lot of money.“Excuse me, out of the way!” Suddenly, a feminine voice came from behind almost pushing August out of the way. When he looked, he saw a girl with a skimpy skirt trying to get into the house.When she felt his gaze on her, she clicked her tongue. “If you aren’t going to go in, then get lost!” She sneered before walking in.August smiled. “Yeah, I’ll go in but to crash the party.” He said to himself before walking into the house.“Come on ladies, shake that waist. Allow the music to control you. And also don’t forget to get drunk tonight. Everything here has been settled by Mark. Enjoy yourself.” The club DJ roared while making some gestures to the crowd. He was i
Paying mark a visit
Jason was in so much pain. Blood was splashing out of his broken leg, but the pain wasn’t comparable to the deadly aura he was feeling from August. He wasn’t human at all. It was like staring at a beast knowing that one mistake can cost your life. After all, August had said it already. If he didn’t do as told, then he was going to die.Though it was painful to be disabled, he didn’t want to die. Quickly he pulled out his phone and called the finance department.“Hello, I want you to sell twelve percent of the company's stock. After that, I want you to credit Aurora Corporation with the sum of a hundred and sixty million dollars right away.” Jason gave his orders while shivering.“What? Sell the company stock? The higher-ups won’t want that.” The voice protested over the phone, but Jason was firm. His life was on the line here. He would deal with all those later on, but for now, he had to try to save himself.“Shut up and do what you are told. The chairman ordered this.” Jason lied so
Double of what you took!
Soon, the footsteps that were coming from the door, amounted to the appearance of six burly guards. Each of them had bulging muscles. Their bodies seemed too thick to be covered by their uniforms and their auras were also so deadly that even the sunglasses they were wearing couldn’t hide it out.“Boss, your orders!” After assembling, they looked at Jason to hear what he had for them.Smiling, Jason looked at August and said. “Beat that punk, drag him out, and toss him away. I don’t care if he is rich, I can’t have him revealing what I have done. Break his legs too.” He ordered.“Yes, boss!” All six men cracked their knuckles as they locked their eyes on August like he was some bug to be preyed on. He looked skinny and the fact that there were six of them, these men didn’t even think that August would be a tough challenge for them. Rather, they felt it was like cornering a kid and giving him the beating of his life.Ayden who was by the side looked at them like fools. He had witnessed
Meeting Jason
“Okay, boss,” Ayden answered with a nod and quickly floored the gas pedal driving away. He could see the mood August was in and could tell something was wrong. He might not know why they were going to Moonlight Corporation, but since that was what August wanted, who was he to challenge his wishes?The drive was fast but silence enveloped the car for what felt like hours before they arrived. They parked at the entrance of the company. Compared to Aurora Corporation, this one was lagging in so many ways.The structure of the building, the size, and most especially, the landscape. August swept his gaze around the place to the top before looking back at the entrance.“Let’s go.” He motioned at Ayden and both of them began to walk into the company. Upon eyeshot, every worker who saw them, having known Ayden due to how famous he was as the manager of a construction company, assumed that they were here to seek a corporation. Wasn't this a good opportunity? All of them thought to themselve
