Bryan was shocked and couldn't believe what he saw. How come Sasha wasn't comfortable with hopper anymore and she's all over Mr. Phil, who wasn't even based in the country. How did they even know at the first place ?He quickly find somewhere to hide and brought out his phone quickly. He took several shots of them kissing before they got into the room to complete what they started. Bryan in shock, had to leave the hotel without bothering to take the watch he came for. He promised to make his family pay for all the humiliations they have caused him and he's definitely gonna start with Sasha." Let's wait till hopper gets to see this and she becomes homeless" he said as he rushed out of the hotel but meet a another familiar face which he knew so well, on the way." Mr Warren ? " He paused in shock" I thought I would find you here " Mr Warren said with a smile on his face. His guards were standing at his back and looking all ready to strike" Am I the reason you are here ? " Bryan asked
" my very own brother, Bryan. I see you can recognize me, even in the dark. " Hopper said as he walks towards Bryan with a smile on his face. His guards stood with a straight face and Bryan couldn't figure out what he did that deserved the odd approach" What is the meaning of this, hopper ? Why did you block my car from passing " he asked and immediately, hopper grabbed his neck and aggressively pinned him to the car." Where the hell are you coming from ? " He asked as they stood under the rain" Why ? I'm coming from where I went to get something " her replied" Wrong answer ! " Hopper said and punched him thrice on the cheek. Then Bryan knew that he came for real business." I'm not joking with you bro, so don't lie to me. You think I didn't see you coming out of miss Stella's house ? What's your relationship with her !?"" Oh that, I have no relationship with her. Just came to pick up something for work "" Oh, something for work uhhh. A cleaner going to the chairlady' s house so
Hopper had left miss Stella's office angrily and was driving slowly to the mall to get Sasha the gift he had promised earlier, when his phone rang. He picked up the call and heard his mom yelling angrily on the phone." Hopper.... Where the hell are you ?!" Mrs pheona said on the phone angrily" Am on my way to the mall, why ?"" Get your crazy ass down to the house immediately "" Why ? is anything the issue ? Can't it wait ? I wann quickly get something for sasha at the....."" I don't give a fuck about your fucking wife, get home now !" She concluded and ended the call" What the hell happened ? " He asked in shock as he lowered the phone down. Its been long his mom yelled at him. He didn't know why she was shouting but whatever it is, it seems to be really important. He quickly pulled over and drove straight home without wasting a single second. He drove at 140 without minding his speed limits.He arrived home after some minutes only to see the whole family gathered in the sitting
Mrs pheona was really happy and anxious as she and the whole family prepares for the meeting with the new CEO. It's a dream come true to everyone in the city as they have been fantasizing about how he looks. Everyone wanted to know him. She quickly gathered the family together as they were about to head out" Good day. I would like us to all be of good behavior as we have a meeting with the CEO today. I know he might want to ask us some questions about what the company is lacking and how the company can move forward. This is the right time for you to use that education of yours and prove that my thousands of dollars spent just to send you to a very prestigious college didn't go to waste." She said but looked around when she noticed someone wasn't present. " Where's Eva ?" She asked and then Eva came running downstairs, putting on a beautiful gown with her hair slightly undone." Mom, how's this dress ? " She asked as she combs her hair" It's nice but too simple. I need you to wear som
The news of Bryan being identified as the new CEO of the Austelin company had gone viral before he even left his office. Everyone who were at home watched the news; including people in the market and other public places. Just as a newly elected president would occupy the white house, he was preparing to occupy the Austelin's mansion which was built up by his father but locked up over two decades. But before then, he had to see his friends first. He already knew they heard the news as he checked his phone and discovered they had already hit him up with some Miss calls. His covoy stopped at the house and suddenly, Mike and David came out of the house in surprise. He stepped down from the car confidently as an escort opened the door for him and his friends couldn't help but stood in shock.He approached his friends slowly while his guard's waited for him" Why didn't you tell us. You kept lying to us " Mike asked as he crossed his hand against his chest with a frown on his face." This is
CHAPTER 17It was the next day, and bryan had just woke up from sleep. He had a really nice sleep in the mansion and he was already feeling like the boss he is. He checked his phone to see several missed calls from Wuyan last night. He must have fallen asleep when she called last night, so wuyan sent a text for them both to meet at a popular bar in the city's central. The message sounded urgent. Though, he didn't know the reason but he took a warm bath, got dressed and had Dickson and carlo drive him there in his lamborghini. His garage had fleet of cars which his dad aquired before he passed so all he had to do is to hop into one and drive to where he was going. (such an easy life)He got to the spot and surprisingly, wuyan already arrived; seated with a drink in front of her; reading a magazine. Her face was uncovered but it doesn't matter. No one knows what she looks like so it isn't gonna cause a scene. he went directly and had a seat. she was there without any of her security als
Bryan was standing with his hands crossed as he addresses the men standing in front of him. Carlo did a very good job in getting skilled men who were given the same training with that of an assassin, and a body guard. Their faces were ruthless and their body were properly built that any sane person would be scared of them. 10 of them were all dressed casually in a way nobody would suspect they were even body guards. They were all putting on some swagers and designers T shirt , looking like they were going for a fun party." Now, i haven't seen any of you before but from what i have heard, i know you all are good in what you do. In as much as i am so curious about being safe, i also want this plan to work out so you guys should stick to the plan and try not to act like you are with me unless the need arises, okay ? " he said and they nodded their head in agreement. Already the guys had hid their weapons under their cloth and everything was set to go. Only dickson and Carlo were dressed
***Rings !***bryan's head wasn't settled yet on the dream he had when a call came in. He checked it and it was wuyan. He began wondering why she was calling him. He picked up the call and placed the phone on his ear, expecting more backlashes but she sounded worried on the phone and her mind wasn't settled also." Hey bryan, where are you ? " she asked with her voice breaking fearfully on the phone." I'm home. whats the problem ? you need help ?" he replied in concern thinking she was under attack of anykind." Oh, thank god ! i just had a terrible dream. You were shot on the chest by a strange man in red and black gown and you died. The dream was so scary, i hope you aren't going anywhere this night ? " she said and immediately bryan heard it, he felt his panic level increased. what the hell is happening ?" Don't worry i'm fine and am not going anywhere." he replied with a weak tone" I'm very sorry for what i did yesterday, I was so angry, didn't know what came over me " wuyan sob
At night, the initiates gathered in a black van, with Dickson, Carlo and Mr Suraj, leading the team. On the computer screen in front of them was the current location of Simon from the Ratel gang, who was going to get the drugs. The location showed Northern Cape. With this, they drove and arrived at Northern Cape moments later, parking the van at a safe distance under a tree. “This is the location,” the driver said as Mr. Suraj looked at the computer to confirm. The place was far from town and uphill. Outside, a lot of gang members were holding guns and keeping watch around an abandoned building.“This is where the magic happens. I believe that’s a trap house,” Suraj said.“What’s a trap house?” one of the inexperienced initiates in the van asked.“It’s a house where drug dealers keep their drugs. It’s mostly situated on the outskirts of town, where the government wouldn’t know,” he replied.“There are many securities here. How do we get in and plant the explosives?”“That’s why we’re
By noon the following day, Carlo and Dickson drove out of town to a place called Camelot. Camelot was the ghetto part of the city, where the youth were involved in many crimes like drugs, kidnapping, assassination, and money laundering. The crime rate was high, as it was the primary means of survival for the youth. Dickson and Carlo had come here to gather intel about the Dark Shadows.They arrived in Camelot, parked under a tree, and proceeded into a bar. Inside, the bar was dark with all the curtains down. Naked strippers moved about, and different gangs occupied various spots. Dickson and Carlo headed towards a table occupied by a gang known as the Ratels. They had previously learned that the Ratels were the biggest drug dealers in Camelot and might have connections with the Dark Shadows.The Ratels were in conversation when Dickson interrupted.“Greetings,” Dickson said, while Carlo stood beside him.“How can we help you?” one of the men asked.“I’m here for a drug deal,” Dickson
At about 8pm, a private plane having the international initiates landed at Ashvilles airport. It was a full squad of trained men from the security services.They alighted the plane in numbers and proceeded to the white coaster bus that was provided to convey them to their destination.Minutes after, they arrived the Austelin Mansion and all assembled in the garden outside, where Dickson Carlo and Bryan were waiting for them." How was your trip ? " Bryan started" It was fine sir." Their leader responded." Good. Now that you all are here ? Our work begins. I need you guys to share your thoughts on how we can defeat the dark shadows. The main challenge is to know who the number 1 man in the dark shadows is." Bryan said." That is not much of a problem sir. We can simply figure that out if we strategize properly." One of the men, dressed in sm army camouflage said." Do you have anything in mind ? " Bryan eyed the man who had spoken, sizing him up. The international recruits seemed sha
Two days have passed, and the 50 people who volunteered to be part of the White Shadows have returned to the Austelins Mansion for their training as promised. A date has been set for next week for the initiation of other volunteers who were living in other parts of the country.Bryan had reprinted the White Shadows logo and purchased licensed firearms for every member. The main course today was to teach them how to use them. The initiates all stood holding their guns while Carlo and Dickson stood in front of them. The first step was to teach them how to use a gun."The weapon you are holding is an AK-47 rifle," Dickson started. "The AK-47 was designed by **Mikhail Kalashnikov**, a Soviet engineer and tank commander. He developed the weapon in the late 1940s as part of a Soviet military initiative to create a reliable, durable, and easy-to-manufacture assault rifle. Kalashnikov's design became the standard issue for the Soviet armed forces in 1949 and later spread globally, making him
"Sir, the initiatives to bring back the White Shadows started due to the unbearable operations by the Dark Shadows," Bryan began. "The Dark Shadows have fought me in so many ways, and I believe it’s not just me, but everyone who isn’t involved with them is feeling the heat. This is why I have agreed to set up a team that would fight against them," Bryan explained to the Minister of Defense, who nodded in agreement."So, what are your big plans with this White Shadows NGO you want to set up? And what do you think you’ll do differently to curb the situation with the Dark Shadows that the police aren’t already doing?" the minister questioned, his brows narrowing as he looked at Bryan."Good question, sir. I have observed the activities of the Dark Shadows and discovered they are certainly skilled in many areas. To defeat them, my NGO will undergo training from top security agencies around the world, and all the expenses will be on me," Bryan replied."And you’re willing to bear the cost
Bryan stood outside, still not satisfied with the information Mr. Benjamin had given him. He had hoped for more but decided to work with what he had. It was time to start somewhere. Since the White Shadows fraternity had been his dad's effort to fight the Dark Shadows, he would bring the fraternity back to life. All he needed to do was gather people who would join the cult and help in the fight.An idea came to him immediately. He quickly took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Dickson's number. "Hello, Dickson. You and Carlo should meet at my house. We have something really important to discuss," he said. "Okay, boss. We’ll be there," Dickson replied, and Bryan ended the call.He got into his car and started the engine. As he began driving, he fell into deep thought about how he could make the White Shadows fraternity strong enough to stand against the Dark Shadows. The key idea that came to his mind was training. Mr. Benjamin had told him that the Dark Shadows underwent a
"Wait, what do you mean my father founded the White Shadows?" Bryan asked, confused. First, it was him discovering Mr. Warren was the leader of the Dark Shadows, and now this? "Does that mean my dad is no different from these evil men?" he said, disappointment written all over his face."Don't you compare your dad and Mr. Warren, Bryan. That's a big disrespect," the man cut in angrily."What do you mean?" Bryan asked.The man didn’t reply just yet. He called one of his children, who brought out a seat for Bryan to sit down, before continuing.**FLASHBACK (NARRATION)**"The White Shadows is an offshoot of the Dark Shadows. Decades ago, there was great insecurity in the world. Kidnapping, drugs, assassinations, rape, and various social vices were ravaging this city. The government did everything they could to stop it, but they couldn’t. At worst, any government in power that pushed the limits to fight the unknown terrorists causing the havoc eventually got killed. This made many scared.
AUSTELIN'S MANSION**Bryan had been living in deep thought since he returned from the prison after seeing Mr. Warren. He had just one thing bothering him, and it was unraveling his dad's death. From what Warren had told him, it wasn't the end of the dark shadows yet, and his dad was into some cult that gave him such wealth and influence. If what Mr. Warren said was true, the first step to take was to decipher the name of the cult his dad was involved with. After a thorough search in his heart, he couldn't think of what cult his father was in, so he decided to go through a thorough search in his dad's mansion.Edward moved back and forth in his dad's room, searching for any information. He saw pictures of his dad from a tender age until his old age. He also saw pictures of a woman always next to his dad, but he couldn't recognize her face; it was obscure. After searching for hours and finding nothing, he moved to his dad's library. There were thousands of books, and Bryan hadn't bother
At 8 p.m. that day, Wuyan received a call from Mrs. Pheona, who agreed to tell her everything she needed to know about her stepbrother. This news excited Wuyan, and although Mrs. Pheona suggested they meet at a location, Wuyan insisted they meet at her house. Wuyan felt a wave of relief as she ended the call, knowing that her search for her stepbrother was finally coming to an end.Mrs. Pheona then called Jack to inform him of the change in plans. Jack was furious about the idea of going to Wuyan's house, as it wasn’t part of the original deal, but he eventually gave in after Mrs. Pheona managed to convince him.At 9 p.m., Mrs. Pheona arrived at Wuyan's house in her Jeep, with Jack and two armed men sitting in the back. As the gate opened and she drove in, the men hid their guns under their clothes. Two of them remained in the car while Mrs. Pheona and Jack stepped out and walked to the door.*Knock, knock!* Mrs. Pheona tapped twice on the door, and Wuyan opened it. "Hello, Wuyan,"
