The Legion Commander Strikes Back • All In The Past
She was in the room that Stacey had reserved for them. It was two people per room, and since they were sisters she and Renée took the same room.Monica and Janet would be staying together in another room. Stacey and her husband were sharing the last room together. Their relatives would start trooping in any moment from tomorrow as it was a 3-day event. However the bridesmaids arrived a bit earlier so they could help Stacey with the planning. Valerie's eyes were glued to the ceiling as she was sprawled out on the bed. Earlier when she confronted her sister about who she was calling, Renee just told her that since her car got destroyed in the accident and still in police custody, she was calling the dealer for another one. But she knew it was a lie because right now all the money available was being geared towards campaigns. She knew her father Clifford very well, this was not the time he would be willing to spend money to get a brand new car for Renee.However she didn't want to pre
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Slit Your Throat!
Three bikes came to a stop near them. Some people turned to face the sound of the sound, wondering what the cause of the commotion was. Mason came down with a smirk on his face, “well well well, look who's on a date,” He sneered, his eyes locked with Raul. Skyler instantly felt nervous but she composed herself and rose up. Raul reached out to grab her hands but she didn't listen. “What do you want Mason?” She asked through gritted teeth. He raked his eyes over Skyler from head to toe. “Stay out of this pretty face,” he said rudely and then shoved her aside. This earned him distasteful glares from some people in the restaurant. “Don’t push her like that!” Raul warned, slamming his hands on the table. Skyler was still rubbing her hands from the small bruise Mason had unintentionally given her on her arm when he grabbed her too tightly. Mason laughed. “Awwn would you look at that, he's standing up for his girlfriend.”The waiter, sensing the tensions rising stepped forward. “Pleas
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Trusting Frank
Ethan adjusted the rear view mirror and he saw the cop cars pulling up in the house. However their car was already ahead and moving away. “I don't think they realized we've left,” Keith said, peering at the cops through the side mirrors. The policemen were armed and circling the house with guns trained.He took a deep breath and kept driving. The police would certainly find the dead bodies in the house and then would probably order a manhunt for them. So whatever they had to do, they had to be fast about it.“Are you sure this place Frank is showing us is safe and secure? Can you even trust Frank?” Ethan asked. Keith nodded. “If I could trust him with my family all these years while I was away, then yes I can trust them.”Bruno was tied up in the trunk and Ethan was planning to use him to find out where Cyrus was located. They kept driving for a while and eventually got stuck in traffic.“Oh my sorry I forgot to tell you, you shouldn't have taken this route. It can get really busy
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • A New Romance
Valerie noticed her sister running off. She hung around and pretended to be interested in all the activities Stacey had planned but when the time was right and everybody was preoccupied, she slipped away. It was a sandy beach and the breeze was strong. She could almost taste the salt from the sea. Her light tropical dress billowed against her body as she moved in the direction she saw her sister last. Her cupped palms protected her eyes from the harsh sunlight. At some point she had to stop and turn her head around. There was no sign of Renée anywhere. She exhaled and then placed her arms on her waist. “Where the hell could you have gone?” She muttered to herself. The dryness in her throat suddenly intensified and then she remembered that she had not had anything to drink for a while. She trudged towards one of the wooden shops and bought a coconut drink. With the coconut in her hand, she continued her search for her sister and she was drinking from the straw. “Valerie, Stacey h
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Painkillers
Mason pressed the knife tightly against Raul’s neck. “Let him go!” She screamed. The distraction was all Raul needed to kick Mason in the groin. “Argh!” He yelled as he curled up in pain. But before Raul couldn't get away, Mason kicked him to the floor and then grabbed the knife. However, Skyler had carried a chair and before Mason could stab Raul, Skyler crashed the chair against his back, knocking him out instantly. The knife clattered as it fell to the ground. She extended her hand to Raul to help him up. “Are you okay? Are you hurt?” He shook his head. “I'll be fine,” he said. She slung his arm over her shoulders acting as his support. Together they made their way out. Raul had been beaten badly by the boys. “We should take him to the school clinic,” Irene suggested as she stopped the taxi. The three of them got into the taxi and instructed the driver to take them to the school hospital. As a student of West coast, trea
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • An Empty Room
Almost everybody closed their eyes in anticipation for the worst. Everyone except Ethan, because he was the one driving. There was no escape, on the left lane a truck was heading towards them and on the right lane there was already a truck there. They were moving too fast to suddenly hit the brakes anyway. With skilful position, he drove in between the very narrow space between the two vehicles. Barely managing to get past before the two trucks sandwiched the SUV, giving it a very big scratch on each side. But he managed to stabilize the car and he had passed the two trucks successfully, the only consequence was that the two side mirrors had broken off in the process. The cop car behind them wasn't going to take the risk so it slowed down giving Ethan the chance to speed away. “Oh my God, that was extremely dangerous!” Leilani exclaimed when she opened her eyes. “They are children in the back!” She yelled again out of fear.
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Drop The Gun!
Ethan looked around to be sure that his eyes were not deceiving him. He trained his gun forward and then took careful steps into the room, swiveling his head around. A solid mass crashed into his shoulders and he fell to the ground. His gun slipped away from his grip and fell down, sliding towards the edge of the room. Somehow Bruno had managed to free himself from the rope and then he grabbed the nightstand which was just by the corner in the room and waited behind the door to eat and to come in before he hit Ethan with it. The noise however, alerted Keith who stretched his arm out in front of Leilani and the kids in a protective manner. It obviously came from the room where Bruno was kept so he was being careful. His hands hovered over his gun. “Go into a room and stay there,” he instructed them. With fear in her eyes, Leilani quickly dragged the children towards the room. Meanwhile Ethan was struggling to get on his feet
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • The Fire At Sterling's Enterprise
Valerie's eyes were wide open. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. The accident she had with the car that almost killed her wasn't random, it was her sister's ploy. She knew that day that the brakes stopped working out of the blues, but never suspected that Renée was the one who tampered with them. Renée was equally in shock, with color draining from her face. Her grip on her phone loosened, causing it to slip and fall from her hand, and then tumble down the stairs because she was standing very close to the stairs that were descending to the floor below. Valerie took a few steps back as she shook her head in this belief. “How could you?” She accused, her voice choked with emotion. “Calm down, I can explain.” Renée tried to step forward but Valerie moved backwards. “Not another inch, don't you dare come near me.” At this point the both of them had already broken into tears. “Valerie please, I can explain. It's not what it looks like. Maybe it is but-” “But what?! B

• The Legion Family
The laughter of children running around in the backyard hung in the air. Valarie was behind the grill, roasting the chicken. Stacey walked into the yard, holding a toddler in her hands as well as her husband beside them. Immediately the two women saw each other, they started to smile. “Oh my gosh Stacey, I didn’t think you could make it,” Valerie said after pulling away from their hug. “Is this your son?” She nodded in response, “He’s about the same age as Emilio and Emilia. Speaking of which, where are they anyway?” She asked. “Oh just over there,” Valerie replied, pointing in the direction. It had been two years now since she had brought these wonderful fraternal twins to the world, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. She would never have believed life could be so refreshing after all the hardship that she and Ethan had endured in the past. Strong arms wrapped around her waist and lifted her off the ground. “Oh my goodness, Ethan,” she called out playfully. “When w
• Little Bundle Of Joys
Several months laterValerie was standing by the balcony, overlooking the city. The past few months have been nothing but perfect and she couldn’t help but wonder if she was dreaming. Even if she was, she would rather not wake up from it because this was a blissful dream. The sound of footsteps coming from behind her met her ears, she turned around to face Ethan. “I knew I’d find you here,” he said affectionately, wrapping his hands around her waist as he rested his chin against her shoulders.She melted into his frame, a warm smile spreading on her face. “Yes, the view from here is quite lovely.”Ever since Ethan had reclaimed the Vanguard manor, he moved in with Valerie. She loved the change of environment so much. The Sterling manor was sold because after Clifford lost the presidential elections, he was neck deep in debt and had to pay. His sponsors had ruthlessly abandoned him like he was vermin. Leaving him stranded and bankrupt.. Valerie was not even at the slightest intereste
• Congratulations
The wedding bells chimed as Valerie got down from her car, the important people in Armoria were here to witness the union of the legion commander and his wife. Her dress was a body holding white silver tube gown which embodied the contours of her waist. It was embellished with pearls and attached to the bottom were gatherers which she was helped with while moving. People began to turn but her eyes ignored all of them, locking on to Ethan's who was at the end of the road, hands folded in front of him as he was in his charcoal gray suit. By now she was already a few more weeks in, but the baby bump wasn't too visible yet. All heads turned to face her and people began to whisper, she was just one of the most expensive designer brands in the country. Something many brides could only dream of wearing. Her mother Therese, who was also on the verge of shedding tears, walked her down the aisle, handing her over to Ethan. They locked hands, turning to face the priest that would join them
• Nearing The End
The Vanguard's were all gathered around the living room with panic strikes expression on their faces. Martha looked like she had just seen a ghost. Larry descended from the staircase with a stoic expression on his face, briefcase in hand. “Just where do you think you're going?” Desmond's voice boomed.“I'm leaving this place before Ethan comes back here to throw you guys out on the streets and disgrace you in the neighborhood, I don't want to be a part of it.”A gasp escaped from his parents lips. “Larry, how could you say such a thing!” Martha scolded him. “Ethan can't do that! He can't! I've called the lawyers already, everything is under control.” Larry scoffed, shaking his head slowly. “You guys don't realize it, don't you? You stole from him, you took what rightfully belongs to him and his father, this house, this manor, it belonged to my uncle! Not you, nothing you do will change that!” He tightened his grip on the bag and walked away, sparing no second glance. Tears prick
• A Little Secret
At the funeral, Therese was standing in front of Renée’s coffin, trying her heart out when Valerie rolled her wheelchair towards her mother. “Mom,” she called. Therese froze. Could her ears be deceiving her? It couldn't be. She immediately turned around and saw that it was her daughter. “Valerie, you're back,” he replied, joyful tears filling her eyes as she crouched down to hug her daughter. Renée was being buried in the family manor. Guests from all over had begun to arrive and Clifford was too busy trying to network and interact to actually even notice that his second daughter had returned. “I wish she and I hadn't fought. Then she wouldn't have come back to Armoria, none of this would have happened.”Therese grabbed her daughter's face and rubbed it. “Don't say that. It is not your fault, Clifford is the one to blame. He's the one that pushed her into this predicament.”Valerie scoffed. “Why am I not surprised?”“Honey, I think there's something you need to know. Your father a
• The One Allowed To Cheat Death
“My baby, how is my baby?” Valerie asked desperately. “We ran all the scans and your baby miraculously survived. The angle at which you were shot didn't have any contact with your uterus or developing baby whatsoever. And thankfully you were shot from a distance so the bullet didn't do much damage, a little bit of rest and healing and you'll be alright. The only issue is the amount of blood you lost, so will be placing you on some supplements and as well as giving you some dietary suggestions.”Hearing this news from the doctor felt like the light at the end of the tunnel. At least she could finally smile about something. “I just wish Ethan was here and then my family would be complete,” he whispered. Lucy backed away from her. “It's going to be okay.”The lieutenants had no idea that Ethan was still alive, because Natasha hadn't communicated it to them yet. “When can I be discharged and go home?” Valerie asked. “Right now I can see that you're safe for travel so you can go today
• A Small Click
“Natasha has made all the necessary arrangements, you can return back to Armoria with ease,” Ethan said, walking towards the door. “What about you?” Darren asked. “I know where Cyrus and his men are, I need to go there and finish them off before they leave Chelmen.”“Wasn't it solo missions like this that even led you to this predicament? Now you have survived, you might not be so lucky next time Ethan.” He paused, placing an arm on Darren's shoulders. “This time, I will be.”Darren watched as Ethan exited the house. He stood by the street at the designated spot and then a black car pulled over and an elderly looking man came out of the car. “You must be Ethan Vanguard,” the man greeted in a thick accent. “Everything you need is in the trunk, and here are the car keys. Please return the car, the last people to use they didn't,” he said, voice dripping with sarcasm. Ethan smirked. “Best believe I will, but it may have some blood stains.” The man's eyes widened upon hearing what E
• More Tears
Skyler jumped out of the car, “hey what are you doing to my mum!” She cried, running towards him. Irene was right behind her while Raul also got down and followed suit. Elizabeth raised her teary eyes to face her daughter who quickly pulled her up from the floor and hugged her. Skyler could see Desmond's driver holding a bag, presumably her mother's bag. Then he stepped out of the gate and then tossed the bag on the floor. This gesture angered Skyler so she lunged forward, managing to give the driver a good slap before Irene held her back.“How dare you bring your filthy selves to our house and try to harass my mother!?”Desmond smirked. “I can see that you haven't changed one bit, you still talk too much. This house belongs to me since your brother is dead now.”His words felt like a physical blow to Skyler. “Don't you dare ever say something like that again, Ethan isn't dead!”“Oh but he is, haven't you seen the news?”Irene walked forward. “Even if Ethan is dead, what makes you
• Ethan Remembers
Valerie was on a stretcher and right beside her was Antonio. They were both bleeding out and were rushed to the emergency unit. Just outside the hospital was Melissa, along with Jax, Kieth and Lucy. After Antoni had been shot, his men surrendered, and the police came and cleared the crime scene, making multiple arrests as well as ransacking Antonio’s mansion, an opportunity the local FBI had been dying to get. The three lieutenants were spared from the arrest because the chief of police, who despite recognising what they did as illegal, was happy that they had helped bust Antonio. Now with the overwhelming amount of evidence they had against him, there was no way he could escape jail time. In the emergency room, the nurses huddled around each of the victims. Antonio's wound was to his upper back but the bullet went through and came out of his chest. While Valerie was in the stomach. “We’re losing him, we’re losing him!” The doctor screamed as the life support machine beeped loudly.
