"What? You're angry about that? But I thought that was going to make things better! What do you mean you didn't want an apology, if you didn't then why didn't you say anything to me?!" Anthony yelled, catching the bodyguards and Franklin’s attention who leaned to look out the window and at Anthony still standing outside, wondering why he wasn't inside yet. "How did you expect me to say “NO” to you when you didn't even let my mom do the same? I don't know what got into you but I never want to see that side of you ever again and I think my mom was right. I think you shouldn't come anywhere near me again" After hearing what Samuel had to say Anthony did some introspection and realized that he might have gone too far with it, in fact, because of how enraged he was at the time he couldn't even remember exactly what he did until Samuel was here reminding him of that. He seems to have lost control and acted impulsively, again. After grimacing and tapping his foot on the ground for a while,
On one of the streets linking to Neon Groove Street, Tessa walked out of an apartment building checking on the time on her wrist watch, meanwhile, she was fully dressed with make up done in the usual style when she goes to work as a Night Walker. She just like most of the other ladies doing the same work of Night Walking don’t actually live in Neon Groove but rather somewhere close to it and go there because that’s where it’s been known to see women like those. So, because that’s where the market is, they all flock there. She had just walked a few meters away from her apartment, having a couple of more meters to walk before reaching her usual spot when from behind her three black Jeeps came driving along and parked right beside her on the road, making her to stop from proceeding. “What is this about?” She asked herself with eyes peering right at the first Jeep in the convoy before taking it to the one in the middle which was the closest to her and suddenly there was a jolt of aware
On their drive to the airport, Franklin brought out his phone and made a call which was picked immediately the first ring was let out and this shows just how important the person at the other end of the line treats his phone call over everyone else’s.“Mr. Dana, we’re on our way to the airport right now. I hope everything had already been taken care of?” Franklin asked, having a neutral expression which shows that there was no doubt in his mind that the answer to his question wouldn’t be favorable.[“Of course Mr. Franklin, I would die before even imagining providing you or the Young Master with inadequate service or staff so rest assured that your experience during the journey will be able to meet all your expectations”] Mr. Rose Dana said with an enthusiastic voice and Franklin smiled,“Thank you and I’m sure that Master Anthony will appreciate all that you’ve done for him” [“Oh, how I wish that I could have at least met the Young Master once before your journey back home. If I had
The Ruling families of all Seven Kingdoms, the Midnight family especially are so high class and high status that they are the definition of what high status is, and as such, information about them barely leaves their castle or gets into the public ear that isn’t what they want to be out there. At this point, it’s even rarer for that information to go beyond their borders so being as far away as Polaris is from any of the Kingdoms, it’s no wonder Anthony’s mind didn’t instantly go to the thought that the name Franklin had called him was the same name that belongs to the ruling family of the number one kingdom, The Kingdom of Night. Anthony gave a low energy laugh like the rug had just been pulled from under him after having just been shocked to the limit by this revelation “I guess what you said earlier about my health being the most important thing in the world is starting to make sense now” Franklin nodded his head in agreement “I can’t believe that someone like me comes from a fa
“You don’t have to look so happy about that information Master Anthony,” Franklin said after seeing the huge grin that Anthony had from being told that the Maples were his slaves Anthony quickly sighed to calm himself from his overexcited state “You’re right, there’s no need to fantasize about anything I’m going to do with that type of power when I already have it, so I’ll just wait until the time comes” “What will you do then, Master Anthony?” Anthony had a wicked smirk adorned his face “I’ll make my fantasies into reality and I know just who the first person is going to be” he said and the image of Marilyn flashed across his mind. Their conversation had been going on for a while now so one of the hostesses walked up to them with a bottle of a very expensive champagne in hand while another came with a trey with only two glasses on it. They felt like the two guests would require refreshments by now and as the best in the business they act automatically without being asked first. “
In a rush, Anthony turned his entire body to him but even in such a situation was still able to maintain his bearings and check Franklin’s vitals as the first and most important thing to do right now. He licked the back of his hand to get it wet then extended it to Franklin’s nose, getting less than an inch away from making contact and he did this to check if Franklin was breathing or not. He would need to keep his hand there for at least five seconds in case he was breathing slowly so with those five seconds he turned to the head hostess. “Franklin told me that you’re all the best in this business so I’m sure you’ll be calm and level-headed about this, now tell me, did any of you see what happened?” He asked while having a threatening stare. The possibility could be that Franklin might have been poisoned but he didn’t want to jump to that conclusion because if there was poisoning involved then he too would have been a victim, but the fact that he was okay says contrary to that idea
Finally, Anthony took his first steps into the Manor and was captivated by all the art pieces and the priceless antics that were used as decorations. These were all items that he knew people would go bankrupt in auctions just to purchase but here they were, used as ornaments, showing how different level of high class the Midnight family is. "Did you just say that you have a surprise for me?" Anthony asked as he walked closer to Franklin and the man smirked, turning around to face a particular direction. "Come, Anthony, lemme give you a tour of the place first, the surprise can come later towards the end. Wouldn't you like to see what the place your Grandfather stayed in before he passed away looks like?" Franklin asked then gestured that he joins him and yet again Anthony was getting an apprehensive sense towards him which was caused by what he was saying. To Anthony, Franklin's mannerisms seem to have completely changed after he woke up with the nosebleed, and even the way he carri
Left under Franklin's and the mysterious lady's control wasn't a comforting situation to be in and hours later, Anthony was just beginning to regain his consciousness with the first stimuli he rediscovered being sound. What he could hear was a muffled-sounding conversation between two people and then a noise like someone was handling some sort of small hand-held item. He groaned in an inaudible voice, slowly moving his body to try and get into a comfortable state because currently he wasn't but in his attempt, strangely he felt something restricting him. Thinking more of that sensation he realized that his arms were locked up by something around their wrists and raised above his head, meanwhile, below he could feel his feet barely touching the ground. Whatever he was strapped to caused him to only be able to be on his toes. As the seconds went by and his dulled senses now gaining progress, returned to what they used to be, he was starting to hear and understand better what the conver
