Chapter 136“Rodriguez? That explains”Asher smiled. “Well, I guess”“Let me guess. You are Mr. Vincenzo's nephew?”“Oh no. I'm his son.”“Son?”, Wyatt asked just to be clear he heard well. His surprise got the best of him and it showed all over his face.“Yes Mr. Wyatt. You sound surprised”“I wasn't… I wasn't informed that Mr. Vincenzo had another son”“Well, there's a bit of a story to it.”, Asher said, pausing momentarily before remembering that he was on his way somewhere.“Anyways, I have another meeting now Mr. Wyatt. It was nice meeting you. Have a nice day”Wyatt nodded, a rather confused expression still on his face. As the elevators slid open into the reception, Wyatt still wondered in his head about Emilio. If he thought he hadn't heard right or had been hallucinating a bit, the card confirmed his doubts.“Emilio Rodriguez.. CEO Skyrock Incorp, America”Maybe Emilio was just adopted or perhaps he was even a bastard son.. But then Maria would have told him. So why had she k

Chapter 137The sun was setting already by the time Wyatt got to his hotel. The traffic had exhausted him and all he wanted to do was get some food and rest. And maybe some nice companionship… if that would help. Wyatt swiped his card on his room door as he swiped his notification bar down.No message yet from his personal assistant.The door beeped and he went in. His tummy still troubled him and he rushed into the bathroom as it attempted to upset him again. The rushing sound flushing came minutes later and Wyatt stepped out from the bathroom into the bedroom part of his suite, with a red robe on. He'd just finished from the toilet and had a shower from then on.The intercom beeped just had he'd decided to go over and order his dinner up.“Good evening sir.”“Evening. How are you doing?”“Very fine sir. I hope your day went great”“It was okay.”“That's splendid to hear sir..”“Okay, umm.. I'm really hungry and was wondering what's on the menu for dinner”“Just wanted to inform you

Chapter 138 Wyatt looked hungrily at the lady. Her face didn't quite ring a bell but he'd clearly remembered the day she'd referred to. He'd gotten so drunk at the club that night that he had had a very hangover the next day. After that night, he'd lost over twenty million dollars in his business.His eyes examined her hungrily and he could feel his hormones reacting to every thing his eyes was taking in. From her boisterous bosoms to her sharp curves, her short, slim-fit dress was calling on him. She, on the other hand, was too aware of the effect she had on him. “Can I sit?”“Oh…umm. Sure”She catwalked over to the sofa in the living room and took her seat.“So, I see you've made good progress.”“Yes..err… I guess I can't really say though”“Your contract with Skyrock Incorp? That's obviously a big one”“Yeah”, Wyatt said, quite impressed that she was this abreast in knowledge and spoke quite intelligently, more than he'd naturally expect from a whore - no offense.Suddenly it cli

Chapter 139Asher's car pulled up at the hotel, now cordoned off and restricted. The yellow crime scene tape fluttered in the wind, threatening to snap with each gust. The scene was surreal, with policemen scattered throughout the area. As Asher stepped out of his car, the gravity of the situation sank in.The investigator emerged from the building, his demeanor somber. The air was unusually gusty and the wind blew a little more than normal, making the area cold. The once familiar surroundings now stood as a symbol of uncertainty, and the yellow crime scene tape twisted ominously, mirroring the complexities of the unfolding mystery.“Investigator”, Asher said as soon as he was close enough. It extended his hand and the investigator took it in a handshake.“Mr. Asher, you are here”“Yes. I heard about the murder case. What happened?”“The victim was shot in his hotel room yesterday but also seemed to have been poisoned too, so he couldn't have survived either way.”Asher shook his head

Chapter 140“Gauis!”, Vincenzo called from the living room.There wasn't any response.“Franrigo”, he called to the young steward who was standing just a bit far way from him.“Yes Signore”, Franrigo responded.“Please, call in Gaius for me. He's probably outside”“Yes Signore”Franrigo left the living room, headed for the door. Once outside and in the compound, he went round to the garage where he was certain Gaius would be. Luckily enough, he was. He was conversing with the other bodyguards and some of the drivers there. But Franrigo, often intimidated by the sturdy muscular build of the men, never liked to come into their midst whenever they seemed to be gathered together like that. He stood at the entrance of the garage - his presence unnoticed and his voice drowned in intermediary fits of laughter. He moved closer and called again.“Mr. Gaius”, he called out yet again. There was still no acknowledgement.“Mister Gaius!”, Franrigo finally said in a voice loud enough for them to he

Chapter 141Sofia woke up from a nightmare again and this time, it was worse. She panted uncontrollably, the room feeling quite suffocating. She breathed heavily, out of breath like she'd just completed a marathon. By the time she calmed down, it'd been over thirty minutes. Beads of sweat covered her forehead and her neck felt sticky with it. Despite the air-conditioned room, Sofia felt choked, like she wasn't getting enough air. She slipped out of bed with the lighter duvet and went over to the veranda.The cool but cold breeze greeted her as she slid the big glass window. She walked into the verandah and pulled the duvet over herself for warmth. The morning sun was still yet to come up and she stared down at the rest of the city, watching the bustling city life get busier and busier by the second. Calm came back to her after a while but her anxiety still lingered. Walking back inside, she did her bed and decided to get ready and early for work. She glanced at her alarm clock.2.00

Chapter 142The tap rushed freely and the sink was first clear then slowly dotted with drops of blood, intensity increasing by the second. Soon the whole sink was red and he had to leave the water running till it cleaned it up.Wiping his hands with the napkin, he dropped it into the bag. He took his gloves off the table and wore them back, the fresh smell of blood strong in the dark room. He picked up the sniper first, checking to make sure everything was intact. Next, he picked up the pistol gun, the clack sound echoing in the air. He chocked back the bullet and the gun went into the bag. One by one, the weapons dropped into the big bag on the ground that lay at one side of the table."Il tuo volo è pronto, capo. (Boss your flight is ready)”He nodded and picked up the bag. As he opened the door, he stepped into the view, the morning not particularly bright as dark clouds amassed. The strong wind greeted him, blowing strongly and whisking the free end of his long coat. His head warm

Chapter 143The bullet pierced the window, its impact fracturing the glass in a web of cracks that stretched to the frame's edge. Asher, hunched over his office chair, narrowly evaded the shot as the bullet had actually aimed for his neck . Just the day before, he had installed bulletproof windows—a precaution against unforeseen dangers. From the reflecting piece of artwork on his wall, Asher could make out the figure of the sniper. The surprise of the shot had gotten to him but his senses were on full alert.“****The sniper guy pulled the trigger, aiming at the exact spot he'd shot.The glasses shattered upon impact, fragments shooting upward like tiny projectiles. Asher, already crouched beneath the table, narrowly avoided the bullet's trajectory, his instincts honed by survival. Using his legs to leverage, he toppled the nearby cabinet, creating a makeshift barrier against the unseen assailant. Just as he braced for the next onslaught, the doors swung open. Asher's senses sharpen

Chapter 179:The Happy Ending
Chapter 179: The happy ending “What? “How dare you?!” Maria panicked at first when Asher said what he said, but she quickly covered it up. “ Vincenzo, did you just hear what he said?”“Gaius Come in” Asher said and Maria's knees suddenly went weak. She stumbled behind as she thought she was seeing a ghost. What was Gauis doing here? I thought he was dead.“Gaius here revealed everything to me after Maria and Andrea tried killing him off for finding out their secret ''. “Here sir,” Gauis said, handing a brown envelope to Vincenzo. “Father, in there is the DNA result of Andrea and Mr Wyatt Oril”“What? The late Mr Wyatt?” Vincenzo asked, scanning through the contents of the DNA results. “Yes, that Mr Wyatt, Maria and her son killed him off, as he was a threat to their plans of killing me. And since they couldn’t succeed, Maria here began the slow process of killing you off slowly by lacing your tea every day with a substance. That’s why you have been so weak lately. Here is the s

Chapter 178“Hey let go of me!”. Finn yelled loudly at the prison guards as he was dragged into the toture room. “Do you want to die? Do you know who you are laying your hands on? let me go. Let me the fuck go”Finn was dragged and strapped on the same metallic chair that was used to torture Asher. Mr Vincenzo gave those specific instructions.“Hey!Hey! Are you guys deaf?!Call my dad. You people are dead meat once I leave this place” his spat out at the guards, only to get a hard punch to the stomach as a response. Smack! Smack!“You want to speak to your father right?” The prison warden said as he entered the room “Fine, we will call him for you.”A call was placed across to Mr. Wilson, and with one single ring, his voice echoed at the other end of the line. “Hello Mr. Wilson, someone is dying to speak with you.” The warden passed the phone to Finn, who didn’t hesitate to grab it”“Dad!, dad!What the hell is going on? I have been here for weeks now. What am I still here?”“Shut u

Chapter 177Finn staggered back and Sofia scurried away from behind him. She picked up the gun which had fallen near her boss. Asher, on the floor by then, was fast losing a lot of blood.He brought his hand to his face. It was blood. He stood unsteady, his vision blurry and double and his mind was hazy. He staggered forward a little and Sofia quickly picked up the gun and aimed it at him.“Stay away!”Finn tilted from side to side, trying to widen his eyes. That made it worse as he couldn't even see Sofia or decipher the position of the gun anymore“You…”, he said, swinging his hand aimlessly. In fear, Sofia pulled the trigger and shot his leg.“Arghh”, Finn groaned, holding his leg. His back hit the wall and he fell to the floor, his mind's vision slowly going into a blackout.Sofia turned her focus to her boss, squatting down to his level.“Boss”, she said, shaking his leg. He was still conscious.“Sofie”, he whispered, the most quiet whisper Sofie had ever heard.“Boss! Stay with

Chapter 176The heavy screwdriver fell off her hands and landed on Sofia's right leg.“Ow!”, She cried in pain. She held herself from cursing out, hopping away a little, from the control board.She had tried to pull off the metal cover of the control board for the door. But there were no screws on it. Then, she tried to break the cover. And that landed her in the situation she was presently in. Sofia banged on the door.“Help!!”But she knew her efforts were effortless. There was none other in the building than her and Asher - and the intruder she recognised so much but couldn't place a finger on where she'd seen him.Sofia wanted to feel exhausted but the anxiety that controlled her was great. She'd spent at least fifteen minutes trying to get out of the room and that was more than enough time for her boss to have been reached and attacked by the intruder - probably even dead.“No”, she gasped. She had to think fast. She had to get out now.“Think Sofia. Think”, she said to herself,

Chapter 175Sofia relaxed a little when she heard footsteps on the staircase. She knew she was usually tense when they were in the same space but her anxiety seemed to heighten by the minute. It was unusual and she couldn't put a finger to it. She had tried to concentrate on work but she had only progressed in eating all the biscuits and cookies on the plate. She had poured the remaining contents of the bottled water into her mouth. Tossing the empty bottle into the bin underneath her desk, she had placed her fingers on her forehead and did a quick massage. Still, she felt stressed and just looking at the screen made her feel even more stressed.She took off her glasses and lay back on the chair. The footsteps felt closer now. She opened her eyes. No footstep heard. Maybe she really needed that sleep.She closed her system. Then she heard the footsteps again. Curious, she got up from where she was sitting and moved towards the door.For some reason, she was stealth about it. She look

Finn's car was captured by the vigilant security cameras as it zipped past Asher's residential building, leaving a trail of speed in its wake. The driver and bodyguard in the car that had brought Elena noticed the car and watched it zoom off, bearing witness to the fleeting scene.The bodyguard put a phone call through to Mr. Salvatore.“Boss”“Speak to me Spider”“Intruder alert”“Intruder alert?”“Yes Boss. Some car just sped past us. There is no other residential building in this place and I can still see the car parked, though it's far away from the gate.”“Well, who's in it?”“We don't know yet Boss.”“Find out Spider and don't let them ruin this plan. È tutto chiaro? (Is that clear)”“Sì Capo (Yes Boss)”The call ended.

Chapter 173Sofia let out some air, obviously exhausted. Her boss, Asher, paced the room as he gave instructions over the phone. “I want ceramic used in those spaces, Travis, not wood. Did you…”Asher paused, listening to what the voice over the phone had to say.“Travis, Travis….”Another pause.“Listen.. listen to me. I don't want to know if it is or if it is not possible to get the ceramic tiles today. Whatever it is you need to do to get them today - this night - do it. Do it now. When I come by tomorrow, and just note I'll be coming in very early, I want the exact type and quality that I asked for. Can you get that done, Travis?”Asher paused for longer this time. “Okay. Let me rephrase that. Get it done Travis. Thank you”He ended the call. “What's up? Are you done?”“Yes sir”, Sofia said, letting out a sigh of relief at the end of her sentence. Asher did too.“Finally”, Asher said to Sofie, a slight smile on his face.Meanwhile, after minutes of wasted efforts going in the w

Chapter 172It was dark out. Asher glanced at his watch as he went up the stairs. It was past seven already. He walked into the office room where Sofie was still working.“Are you done?”“Almost sir. Let me just tidy up this document”“Alright”He left the room and came back with two small glass bowls of fruit salad.“Here”, he said, handing it over to Sofia.“Oh.. thank you Boss”“You deserve it”, he said, taking his over to the mediun sized sofa. Pink flushed on her cheeks and she had to bend her face so he wouldn't noticed. Asher smiled, noticing before she could even hide it. In all his life, he didn't know a person more shy than Sofia.He settled on the sofa, balancing the fruit salad bowl in his hand.“I've been willing to ask something, Sofia”Sofia raised her head immediately, unnecessarily in alarm.“How has your mum been?”“My mum? She's fine. She's.. perfectly okay”“Is she still at the hospital?”“Oh no sir. She got discharged about ..two months ago? Yes. It should be two

Chapter 171“It’s done Boss”, the delivery guy said, adjusting the air pod in his ear as he rode. The bike bent as he maintained being on the bend, the wind flapping in his ear. When he got onto the straight road, he had to reduce his speed for the traffic ahead.“Good”, the voice responded. “Well done Ryder”“Yes sir”The call terminated and Paolo set his phone down on the table. In front of him were three monitors and a slim guy sat in front of them, moving from one screen to another.“What’s the update, Raphael?”, Andrew asked“I'm in. I have successfully gained access into the facility now”, he replied, zooming in on one of the screens. On it was a live recording of Asher's gate, which was still open even when Asher had closed it. So he thought.Raphael switched to another monitor. On the monitor display, the different controls that were sectioned to the different parts of the house were shown. Raphael zoomed into each room, and the door controls, studying the signals. From there,
