"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

  • The Midnight Heir    CHAPTER 142: BROTHEL CHASE

    "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

    Tessa is one of the few none Neon Grove locals that's loved by almost everyone, thanks to how resourceful she's shown herself to be. The lower echelon gangs around the place usually give her some level of preference with their protection over others because she sometimes buys them drinks and stuff.Vinny and his gang checked her to see if she was okay which was how they saw the swollen spots on her face, and the cut above her left eyebrow that was bleeding, and immediately they could tell that something serious was up."What the fuck is going on, Tessa?!" Vinny got up from his chair, offering it to her so she sits and rests because she looks like she was in serious need of it. However, that wasn't going to happen because the men chasing Tessa who have all been searching for where she ran into were finally able to see her and Vinny's gang by the bar so they rushed there."We finally caught you, you stupid bitch!" The head of the Brothel gang said as his men stopped moving when they met

  • The Midnight Heir    CHAPTER 144: ANTHONY AND TESSA

    Anthony stopped right in front of the Untitled Hotel, parking his bike with the engine turned off while he reached into his pants pocket to bring out his access card. There's only one access card given to someone of high rank in the Mob and once you lose yours, it takes a lot of work to get a replacement, worse if your affiliation to the Mob that gave it to you in the first place is on the bad side which he is right now.The journey of his access card is that at the hospital when Anthony passed out, Franklin had taken out not only Annabelle's phone from his bloodied and torn pants but also the access card, and once Anthony changed into designer Gustav's clothes, Franklin gave it back to him. Because of the one month he spent being kidnapped, he never changed clothes until the one he changed into on the flight back to Polaris which he transferred the access card into, and the next change of clothes he had was his shirt alone when he saved Annabelle.Right now, he's wearing one of his

    “Hey idiots, what the hell are you waiting for?! One of you better goes bring that whore to me now or else get smacked!” The Brothel Gang head yelled and the member at his far most right took it upon himself to take up the task. He separated himself from the others and started side-stepping closer to Anthony, while he lead with his metal pipe to scare Anthony off.They all stupidly ignored Anthony’s presence like he wasn’t a threat but Tessa who could only cling to him for dear life begged Anthony to save her. She was so close that he was able to feel her heart beating fast against his back.“Come here you bitch!” The gang member who was coming to fetch Tessa got right in front of Anthony and then extended a hand, trying to reach for Tessa behind him. He was smiling from the thoughts of what they were going to do to her.Tessa was extremely desperate for Anthony’s help and because he wasn’t budging, she did the last thing that she could think of.She said “If you help me then we’ll b

    Out of the five who attacked Anthony at the same time, two swung for his knees, two for his elbows, and one for the back of the head.All of them used every ounce of strength they could muster, hoping to do as much damage as possible.The one who swung for his head wanted to kill Anthony in an instant. He had the lawlessness of Neon Grove as a morale booster because he knew nobody would snitch and the police wouldn’t take the case seriously.Their number was too much for Anthony to handle safely by himself without his power to read minds and so he had to sacrifice his limbs to protect his most valuable body part, his head.If he had had his power, Anthony would have seen what moves they were going to make and then plan a counterattack a split second ahead of time but sadly he didn’t.He had to rely on his fast reflex and reaction to time save him.He strengthened his legs so that both of his knees could take the blow without breaking and as for the other three body parts they targeted

    The same evening at the automobile shop, the two sales reps were busy preparing the place to close for the night, and just as they were about to finish, coming in were the manager and the owner of the shop.The owner had taken the manager to the hospital just a couple of minutes after Anthony and his entourage had left. This is why the manager had all the bandages around his injuries and a bag of medication in his hand.“We were just waiting on you both,” the sales rep in a yellow suit said as he went to assist the manager but he didn’t have to because the manager was strong enough on his own. The manager gently declined with a gesture.The owner went to look at all the preparations they’d made for closing the shop and he saw that it was to his liking. However, it was obvious that there was a huge elephant in the room that none of them were willing to address and it showed on their faces.“Why did you guys come back when you could have just gone home to rest?” the sales rep in yellow

    Abraham rose from his chair and looked at Johnathan with shock."Master Johnathan, what do you mean by that?! Are you seriously giving up on all of this and want to return home?!" Abraham asked enthusiastically.Johnathan was left speechless as he looked at Abraham and was grimacing in confusion.He never knew Abraham would react this way to what he said and it was like he was happy to hear him give up on the mission.Abraham grinned "Even though we've already done this much, it's not too late to stop all of this and return home Master Johnathan," he said then dropped on his chair.He immediately opened his desk drawer and searched for some documents which he started arranging, hoping to start packing what they needed so that they could leave this place first thing in the morning.Johnathan cleared his throat when he had seen enough."What is it, Master Johnathan? Do you have a cough? Sore throat maybe? Don't worry, I'll be right there to check what's wrong but first lemme put these d

    Johnathan looked at George and then at Abraham when he got close and he realized that he had forgotten a piece of vital information."Master Jo—" Abraham said but Johnathan quickly interrupted him."Not exactly. I forgot to tell you but this is Abraham, the person I called on the phone back at the bowling rink and he's the one sponsoring me so that I can attend Wellstone. I also call him my guardian like I told you" George looked at Johnathan skeptically then he looked at the luxurious apartment."So you're saying that none of this belongs to you but him?" George asked."Yes"George nodded his head and then started smiling."I thought so. No way a cool and nice guy like you comes from wealth. You almost gave me a heart attack there, not cool" George said.Abraham and the maids looked at George and they were all frowning that he could be talking to their master like this. He should show some respect.Seeing that they were going to lash out at George, Johnathan gave them a signal while

    Johnathan stared at this student, wondering if he wanted to get involved with him or not. He's already helped him wake up so should he involve himself beyond this point?In the end, he came up with his answer."I'm nobody," Johnathan said then stood up and stuffed his hands into his hoodie pocket."As you can see the party is over so you should start going him. That's why I'm doing" Johnathan said.The student looked around and he was disappointed that he missed the party. A reaction that Johnathan found strange because he was more concerned about that than the fact Bradly had knocked him unconscious."Whoever you are, thanks for waking me up. I should also start heading—" The student said as he was standing up but then his stomach started hurting and he crashed back down.The student grabbed his stomach and started wincing from the pain."What's wrong?" Johnathan asked him, worried that something else might be wrong."I don't know, my stomach just hurts like hell. Was it something I d

    "Hey Bradly, how come it seems like you know the Welfie on a personal level when none of us have ever seen him before?" One of the two students who came with Bradly asked.Immediately, a grin popped up on Bradly's face."What do you think worm, should I tell them?" Bradly whispered in Johnathan's ear and Johnathan jolted.Johnathan knew instantly what Bradly's plan was and what he was going to say to everyone and his heart started pounding fast."Listen, Bradly, don't say anything. Even though it was fake, we were still friends for—" Johnathan said but Bradly cut him off."Oh, you thought I was asking?

    Back at the apartment, Abraham was seated in his office chair and was going through some documents when his phone on the desk suddenly started ringing.Seeing who the caller was, Abraham hurriedly answered the call.“Master Zebadiah, good evening or should I say good afternoon in your case,” Abraham said.[“Thank you Abraham and greetings to you too. I was just calling to ask how are you and Johnathan settling into the apartment? Hope everything is to his liking”] Zebadiah said.“Yes master, Master Johnathan gave his approval of the place a while ago. He told me that he’s happy to have somewhere like this close to his school to hang out during days he wants to get away from school stress”[“That’s good to hear. And Johnathan, where is he right now?”]“Well, master Johnathan told me that his level-mates were organizing a get-together somewhere close by so he went to go check it out. He wants to make as many acquaintances as possible before he starts school officially”Zebadiah grunted.

    Johnathan was almost a whole foot taller than Zack was and because he wasn’t sitting and hunching anymore, his hoodie didn’t seem as big as it used to.Zack and his friends were starting to see that not only was Johnathan tall but he was also muscular and all three of him were speechless.“Hey Zack, don’t just stand there, teach that Welfie a lesson not to mess with people like us,” Someone from the crowd said.Even though he didn’t want to, Zack just had to show himself and there was only one way he could try to conquer Johnathan since he couldn’t attack him physically.“Listen here Welfie, as I said before, I’m Zack Griffin from the Griffin family and I’m sure you’ve heard of me. If you know what’s good for you, better let go of my hand right now or else you’ll receive a message from the school first thing tomorrow morning about your expulsion. Trust me, I can make that happen” Zack threatened then smirked.Johnathan shrugged “You can try but you’ll be surprised by the outcome,” he

    The reason they were treating Johnathan this way was because they hadn't seen him anywhere around the school before and that only meant one thing.In Wellstone, the kids from the richest family are given their admission first and they are also given top priority in everything else so they are the first to start the academic session.The school would never admit that this preferential treatment exists but it does nonetheless and it is usually the students who enforce it with their actions.The later your resumption shows your level of importance in the school and with that mindset, even though the school is massive with thousands of students, everyone knows who the important people to look up to and respect are.For them not to know Johnathan only means that he either is just starting his academic session now or isn't that important for any of them to know. This makes him someone under scholarship or someone who's barely able to attend Wellstone.None of those two options are good posi

    The more they walked, the closer and louder the music became and there was a door in front of them which had the bowling alley behind it.Johnathan could see colorful lights escaping from the cracks which let him know that it isn’t just bowling but there should also be a party happening in there.Whoever organized this must have paid a pretty penny to transform a regular bowling rink into a disco party but since they are students of Wellstone, the money should be considered a cheap change to them.Because of how close Johnathan was behind her, Shirley got annoyed and stopped walking."Why the hell are you following me?" She asked and Johnathan grimaced.He also stopped after hearing the ridiculousness of the accusation."Who said I'm following you?" He asked."You are so there's no use denying it," she said as a vein bulged on her forehead.Johnathan scoffed then he smacked his tongue."Listen here miss Vice President or whatever you call yourself—""It's Shirley, Shirley Price.

    Johnathan grimaced as he leaned closer, getting all up in her face."Oh really? You don't know her?" He asked and she avoided eye contact."If that's true then why don't I believe you? Something tells me that you do know her and you're lying to me to protect your friend" Johnathan said and Shirley got irritated."I told you I don't know anyone like that so get the hell out of my personal space!" Shirley got aggressive and pushed him away.Because of how tall and more muscular than her Johnathan was, her shove didn't really do much but he moved back on his own accord anyway."You said this entire place was reserved for the students of Wellstone, those were your own words, and that right there was where she robbed." Johnathan pointed at where he made contact with the girl with red and black hair."What other proof do I need to show that she was a fellow student of Wellstone and as the Vice President you know or at least have an idea of who she is" Johnathan pursed his lips."I said I do
