Anthony who after leaving the automobile shop had also gone to buy a small phone he could use, for the time being, drove his bike back to the Maple estate, parking beside Julius' car which had been the exact one whose left headlight was smashed apart by him in a fit of rage, a month ago. The time was 6 p.m. and as such, the sky was already looking dark, but the mansion right there in front of him had so many security lights blaring in all directions that it allowed Anthony to see something peculiar in the car.At first, he had thought that this was a shadow playing tricks on his eyes but curious to find out the truth, he reached out a finger and he touched it. Anthony smirked in contact with the car because even though Julius had tried his best to get that part fixed, there was still a little dent that couldn't be taken out."This has gotta sting, huh Julius?" Anthony mumbled with a huge grin on his face, chuckling then turned to his motorcycle, placing his hand on the black leather s
"How many times do I have to tell you to shut up about that nonsense rumor you, stupid son of mine?! I swear you make me so ashamed for easing you! How can you believe some nonsense a simple maid wench told you as a way to ingratiate herself to you, huh? Think son!" Benjamin's father yelled, rebuking him and his words.Thinking that the Maples were still above their family and because they are relatively new money and the youngest family to ever make it into the hierarchy, all thanks to the deal Benjamin brokered with Mr. Rose Dana, Benjamin's father didn't want to do anything that would make an enemy of the Maples.He didn't want her to use her family's influence in the Polaris world against his family and the fact that the maids were all talking about how she was having dinner with Mr. Rose Dana just some hours ago, struck so much fear in his heart when they were being escorted to their audience with Patience that he couldn't force himself to fathom that what Benjamin was saying coul
They all almost slammed into each other but Anthony who was already expecting them did what he could to evade them."What's the rush for? You should all be careful when walking in someone else's home" Anthony said as a passing remark, looking uninterested in them then tried to leave but Benjamin who was the only one among his family who recognized who Anthony was, stepped in front of him and blocked his path."What are you doing son?" Benjamin's father asked before getting a good look at Anthony and the silver hair which was the feature Benjamin had used to describe his assailant to them. It was then he too realized who this was. "Wait a minute, you're the one who beat my son up weren't you?!"Benjamin's father saying that kicked his wife's defensive instinct and she started frowning at Anthony, mad at what he had done to her favorite son, a fact she didn't hide that she favored Benjamin over his, not as impressive older brother."You bastard, how dare you to lay a hand on my son!" She
Even though ridiculing Anthony was fun, this was an important call that Benjamin's father knew he wouldn't want to delay answering, and so he answered right away, raising and pressing the phone against his ear. "What is it, Mr. Thomas?" He said with a smile.Mr. Thomas, the family's accountant's voice was very gentle when he communicated all he wanted to Benjamin's father, and the next thing the rest of the Oswald family members who were still busy laughing at Anthony knew was that the father had frozen in shock, eyes widened, looking like he had passed out while standing and then his phone dropped from his hand, damaging the screen on impact with the floor."Huh?! Dad?" Benjamin and the rest of the family looked at his father's sudden change and immediately, all of them could tell that something was wrong. The call hadn't been terminated and Mr. Thomas' voice could still be heard coming from the phone around their feet, pulling their attention to all look at it.Benjamin couldn't ben
"Tell me, who was that you just called? How did you manage to do this so quickly? Who are you?!" Benjamin was going crazy, stepping closer and grabbing Anthony's shirt with both hands, looking like he was about to cry.Anthony remained the same way he's been for the last few minutes, looking at him with disgust "I already warned you, didn't I? Keep my wife's name out your mouth but you refused to listen, and now you'll have to live with the consequences of your actions" Anthony said with an indifferent tone, rolling his eyes and slapping a melancholic Benjamin's hands off his person, then he started walking away.Benjamin dropped to his knees in despair and his father who couldn't contain all the emotions he was having going through his mind started to have a panic attack, falling to the floor and struggling to breathe."Hunny?""Dad?"Benjamin's mother and brother both rushed to the father to try and help him but Benjamin who had been completely defeated ignored all of them. He remai
He was just a turn away from making it to Annabelle's room when he heard voices that sounded like they were coming directly from where Annabelle's room was. Hers was the only room in that entire area so why were other people there as well, he pondered.He slowed down his pace to have a better listen to what they were mumbling and that was how he was able to overhear exactly what the topic of discussion was.Having a concerned face which was gotten as a response to what he was hearing, he remained standing at the start of passage once you come into the turn, seeing none other than Carla and Chloe Penn, standing in front of Annabelle while she stood outside her room.This time he wasn't hiding, he had no reason to and was in the open but they were too distracted by whatever this conversation of theirs was that they didn't even notice when he arrived."Listen here you stupid bitch, just who do you think you are?!" Carla cursed, frowning at Annabelle, and from all their looks, it appears
They were there and saw what he did to Benjamin so they had first-hand experience of how brutal Anthony could be if he wanted. However, they realized that they were Annabelle's cousins so even if he wanted, he was never going to touch them and so they smirked.Feeling reassured of their safety, both of them started to skip towards him, saying once they got to where he was standing at the start of the passage… "Later you loser, do us a favor and just die!" The twin echoed themselves before skipping past him and leaving.Anthony continued glaring at their backs, wishing for nothing more than to be able to hurt them but he couldn't. He smacked his tongue, throwing his head in the opposite direction of where they passed, and didn't move from where he stood until he heard Annabelle's groan in pain. "Annabelle!" He exclaimed then ran right to her, going on his knees when he saw what condition she was in before he helped her to get up and assisted her into the room and onto her bed.He help
"Hey, get the fuck back here! You think you can run from us, you stupid bitch?!" A very deep voice yelled. This voice belonged to a very tall, muscular, and angry man having veins popping all over his neck and forehead, his eyes were red, and saliva flying out his mouth with every word he spoke.Where he was standing and shouting from was the middle of half a dozen men, not as big and muscular as he was but they still looked threatening to the average person. In his right hand was a metal pipe, the same as all theirs, which he pointed in the direction of a certain woman who was running and trying to escape from them."Go get her you, idiots!" He commanded the six men behind him and they all started to chase after her. Wanting to be the one who deals with her, he too joined in the chase. "It'll be a sad day for you idiots if you let that bitch escape!"They were right outside a very popular brothel and from how the lady dressed, she blends perfectly in that type of environment but had
