The Orphan Dragon Marshall The Basement
Turning to one of the soldiers, Zed Jefferson said, “Release him”.After Stanley was released, he walked over to where Maliya sat and slapped her twice on her right cheeks which immediately turned red. “But Grandfather it really wasn't me. I had nothing to do with it. The men carrying the portrait walked past my table but I don't know anything about how it fell or why. It truly was not me Grandfather. You have believe me”. Maliya said.Taaaa!Stanley slapped Maliya's cheek again. “Are you trying to say that Major General Zed Jefferson was lying? Why would he be lying against you? You've already done enough damage already so shut your lying mouth up”, Stanley said before leaving the villa.Tears welled up in Maliya's eyes, but she blinked and tried to hold it in and then all of a sudden, she started to feel dizzy. The room had grown dark and the air seemed to be standing still around her. She fainted.*****Stanley left with one of the soldiers escorting him out of the Jefferson famil

Please let go of my hair. I'll come with you. Please Sir, General please tell him to let go of my hair”, Maliya cried. One of Zed’s subordinates was dragging Malia's hair while escorting her to the auction room “Shut up! you stupid woman”, Zed Jefferson said and slapped Maliya. She cried out loudly, tears flowed from her eyes and mixed with the blood dripping the cut on her face.It was a really hard slap and Zed Jefferson slapped her right next to one of the cuts on her face. It made the blood rush even faster. By the time they had climbed the stairway to the fourth floor of the building where the auction room was, Maliya had lost a lot of blood. Her sky-blue dress had blood red designs created by the blood flowing from the cuts on her face. As they entered the auction room, the whole room went dead quiet. All the guests present were horrified. “This was the lady who was taken from here when the auction started for breaking Lisa's Smile portrait…”, one of the celebrities whispered
The Orphan Dragon Marshall Zed is a Dead Man
The auction room had grown cold since Zed Jefferson and his subordinates returned with Maliya looking disheveled. Everyone had suspected that the portrait incident was only an excuse for something else but no one expected Major General Zed Jefferson and his subordinates to dehumanize her in this manner, not talk of bringing her out to the auction room and letting everyone know what had been done to her. Rushing back upstage, to where Maliya lay, Zed pulled Maliya up by her hair. He wanted to hold her hostage. “I can use her to buy my way out of here if this doesn't go the way I want it”, Zed thought.Gbaaaa! Andrew hit the auction room door with one of his legs and the door fell making a loud crashing noise. Everyone turned their attention to the doorway. “I’m right here Zed Jefferson or should I say Major General Zed Jefferson”, Andrew said standing at the entrance of the auction room. His voice was calm and angry at the same time. Then he walked in.The room grew colder with ever
The Orphan Dragon Marshall After the Auction
Pete was quick. He had served and trained under Andrew for years and one of the things he had learnt was urgency. He moved as soon as Andrew gave the command. Without wasting any time, he made his way to the back door where angry soldiers from the western troop under major General Zed Jefferson's command charged towards him. He paused halfway into the hallway. In his hand he held two short shiny silver knives with extremely sharp edges. And as the soldiers approached him he zoomed towards the first man slashing his throat with one of his knives. He stabbed the second man that approached him deep in one of his eyes. The third man followed before Pete could remove his knife from his eyes so he drove his second knife through the third man’s ear and pulled both knives out at the same time.As the next man approached, Pete jumped and as he kicked the side of his head, the spikes on his boots scraped the skin of the soldier's face. And from then on it was a bloody frenzy, slashing of thro

The Orphan Dragon Marshall I wish He Died Earlier
Andrew looked as dumbfounded as Maliya, maybe even a little more. He had known all this time that Zed Jefferson was dead because he killed him by himself but he had acted as surprised and shocked as Maliya for her sake. In his mind, he said, “My dear Maliya, how do I tell you that I am the masked man? How do I tell you that I am responsible for this Zed Jefferson and his subordinates’ death. How do I tell you who I really am?”, Andrew wondered to himself. He turned to Maliya and said with a smile, “This is good news my love. Now that Major General Zed Jefferson is dead you don't have to worry about him being angry at you. It's all over now”. Tears welled up in Maliya's eyes. She let the tears flow and even though its wetness made the cut on her face burn, she was happy. “I know it's not right to be happy at Major General Zed Jefferson's death but …”, she sniffled and continued “why me? What did I do to deserve….”, she trailed off again. “I did not break the portrait honey. Then

No Matter The Cost
Eric was out of his head on the way home. He couldn't believe what had transpired from the moment he got there up to this very moment. “You both can't be serious. I don't believe any of this is serious. You can't actually be serious”. This was the third time he said this on the drive home and all three times he was ignored. “How am I going to let that stinking silly cousin of mine get what she wants just because one stupid old man said he won't work with them until she signs that she's still a member of the family. A family that as far as I'm concerned no longer even wants her to be a part of. Why is partnering with an old fool so important?” Eric thought maliciously. “Grandfather will never agree to this deal. He obviously knows better than both of you”, he said to his parents. “So you think you know better than both of us?” Raymond replied to him. “Apparently yes at least I know that someone like Maliya is not supposed to have any part in the affairs of this family let alone t

Apologize to My Wife
Andrew smiled and hugged Maliya back. He had not seen her this jolly for sometime now. She looked like a little girl as she jumped happily.“She really loves that family of hers despite all they have done to her”, Andrew thought, looking at her with admiration. “Honey, I need to get my things ready. Uncle Raymond will be here soon”, Maliya said as she opened the wardrobe to bring out her clothes.“Alright love. But before we pack your bag,there is something I would like you to see”, Andrew said with a blank face. Noticing his seriousness, Maliya left her clothes in the wardrobe and went to sit next to him,“What is it honey?” Maliya asked, frowningHe turned and faced her, then he said, holding her hands, “I know you love your family and want to go back home honey.

Seven o'clock the following morning, at the Coker family mansion. Ring! Ring!Raymond Coker raised his head up a little bit with his eyes closed and stretched his hand to the little bedside table next to his bed. When his hand felt his phone he picked it up and brought it to his ear.“Hello, what can I do for you this morning?” he said without opening his eyes. He hoped that whoever was calling him would be done talking quickly so he could go back to sleep. “Good morning sir. Sir we have a problem”, the factory manager said.“What problem is there?” Raymond asked, slightly worried. “All our trucks that were sent out to the Green Group yesterday evening just returned sir”, the factory manager said.“And? What is the problem? Will you go straight to the point or do you want to keep wasting my time this early Monday morning?” Raymond asked, pretending to be angry when he was actually really worried about what could have gone wrong.“Sir the thing is that the trucks returned fully load

The Coker Family Dinner
The next morning, when Maliya woke up, she was in so much pain. The night before, she could not feel herself. For the past ten years, she had been living in so much ridicule, outright hate and humiliation from her family members. This was all because of the injuries she sustained in the process of trying to save the life of that boy ten years ago which disfigured her face and made her ugly. Everyone in her family blamed her for it. She also blamed herself.“Grandfather, I'm very sorry. Please don't get mad at me. Someone was in there. I only wanted to help him open the door grandfather. I did not know I was going to get caught in the fire too…Please forgive me mom… dad…”, fifteen years old Maliya pleaded with her family. “No one sent you Maliya. Why can't you stay where you are meant to be?

You Have Been Cast Out
Andrew tried to pull Maliya to her feet but she refused to stand. Rather, she stayed on her knees and continued banging the door, crying and begging her mother to forgive her. Although he was strong enough to lift her up if he wanted, he could not bring himself to do that to Maliya. He knew this was a difficult time for her.“This must be really traumatizing for you my love”, he said to himself feeling sad for Maliya. He wished he could take her pain away and carry it like it was his. “Let's go home honey. Your mom is just very upset about the incident, that's all. She will get over it soon my love and everything will be okay again my love”, He continued. He tried to lift her up again. This time she did not struggle. She let him help her to her feet. When she was standing, Andrew pulled her to himself and embraced her. She let him hold her for some minutes while she continued to sob. “I have to talk to Grandfather honey. He is the only one that can make this right. Honey, can we g

The Jefferson auction assignment was successful. Not one member of the Western army under Major General Zed Jefferson survived. I ensured that. The other Jeffersons are unharmed. I have kept an eye on these past few days. They are all in town, just laying really low. I also questioned the Jefferson's individually about the whereabouts of the lava heart but sir they did not seem to know. Martha Jefferson thought that only Zed Jefferson would know that he is dead now”, Pete said .“Good job Pete. Keep monitoring the Jeffersons. I want to know where they go, why they go there and when they do. ”. Andrew paused and lit a cigarette.“Abo
