Ethan was staring directly at Cyrus, even though he couldn't remember who this man was, the feeling of rage and anger that overwhelmed him was enough for him to know that Cyrus was his enemy. “What do you want from me?” He asked through gritted teeth. Kayla, who was still struggling with the goon rough handling her, spoke. “Where are my parents?!” She cried. With a hand motion, Trevor walked away to an inner room, returning shortly after with some extra hinge man and Kayla's parents who were already tied up and gagged. “Mum! Dad!” She screamed, attempting to rush forward to hug them but she was blocked. “You will reunite with your parents in due time.” Both she and her parents had started crying already. “Trevor, tie him up, make sure he doesn't escape,” Cyrus instructed. They began to shove Ethan forward .“I'm so sorry Ethan, I had to save my family,” Kayla whispered under her voice as they bound him with ropes. Ethan didn't really put up much of a struggle, however he asked
The car was parked outside of Antonio's main property. Keith spied on the house with his binoculars, this had to be where Valerie was being kept. A man as influential as he was could easily bend the government of a small country like Chelmen to do his bidding. This was one of the reasons why he resided here. “What are we waiting for? Let's bust in and rescue her,” Jax proposed. “We can't just waltz in there, we need a plan, we don't even know how many men are there-”“About 30,” Keith said, interjecting her sentence. “Huh?” “There are about thirty henchmen in there, most are armed. I counted them,” he clarified, putting down the binoculars. Jax shifted on his seat to face them. “So what we're going to do is, one of us has to create a distraction outside, something that will make them mobilize and try to come out, and then the remaining two attack by surprise and we break in to find Valerie and get her out of there.”Lucy was barely paying attention as the two men conversed, inst
The news had broken out by now that the legion commander was dead. The video of him getting shot as well as the video of the warehouse exploding was all over the internet and everybody was saying that Ethan Vanguard was dead.It was practically on every news channel and media outlet. This spelt bad news for Armorial, if a rebel soldier group could kill the legion commander, were they even safe?Everyone began to have their own opinions on the matter. Clifford turned off his TV and got on his feet. “Why am I just surrounded with bad luck? He was supposed to marry Valerie, how am I going to run my campaign if the legion commander who was supposed to back me and be my son-in-law is dead!” He complained. His secretary watched him with a dumbfounded look on her face, by now she had realized that she was working for a complete narcissist, however she was only just realizing how bad it was. Today was his manifesto and he needed to appear in the public. He took a glance at his watch and th
Skylar was shocked to the bone, her stomach twisted into a tight knot, legs growing weak. Just as she was about to take a step back and run away, Raul raised his head, pushing Claire off him. “Skyler!” he called out, shoving Claire aside. But Skyler didn't want to hear it, she wasn't interested in whatever explanation he had to offer.She spun around on her heels, tear filling her eyes as she dashed away from the library. He followed after her while Claire , who was still standing in the background, smirked. Earlier on she had cornered him, forcing him into an uncomfortable situation. She was trying to get her revenge on Skyler for having Amy being arrested and charged to court. Initially, her plan was to cause a scene and hurt Skyler, but when she arrived at the library and saw Raul by the corner, she had a change of plans. She knew that It was only a matter of time before Skyler would come here to read with him, so she waited until she had seen Skyler before getting up and moving
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.
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
“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
“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
