At that moment it was clear how important Velma was to him Was she his only family? Were they orphans? Like him perhaps.Strangely, he felt some sympathy for Cayden in that instance. But it was short-lived because Cayden was walking up to him again, fury on his face. "You always find a way to end up ruining my life don't you?"Rose left where she stood and hurried towards them, then she shoved Cayden before he could approach Nathan any further. Her action surprised Nathan, and Cayden as well, who looked confused, and her expression was stern. "That's enough Cayden. god. Don't you even know when to stop?"Cayden glanced between Nathan and her, seeming to analyze the situation, then gave a smug smile. "Glad to see you guys have kick-started things. Nice turn of events if you ask me" then he scoffed. "We'll be seeing later pal" He patted Nathan roughly on the back, just as he had done the previous time, then he headed for the cafeteria door, his gang trailing behind him. But someone
"Try me" She replied, eager for whatever information he wanted to tell her."We've probably known each other since I was very young" He said.Her eyes widened in bewilderment. "Really? How?" "Let's just say he helped me. I was in a very bad state and he saved me""Wow. I didn't know he was still capable of such goodness" She gazed ahead, absentmindedly. He frowned. "Why do you say that?" She sighed, hesitating slightly." Since my mom died, he retreated into a very dark hole I dread to think he hasn't come out from. Maybe it's even the reason for his paranoia". Emotions swirled within Nathan, sadness weighing in like solid blocks of stone. "Your mom? When did she die?""Oh when I was little. I don't really have much memory of her, or remember much about her.""I'm sorry about that " He said, his face softening.She waved him off. "Your dad isn't paranoid you know" He said. She scoffed. "You think ""I know. He loves you and he's concerned about you " She chuckled, and he liked t
His cologne was strong and powerful. Whoever he was he definitely was a rich and influential person where he came from. He had grey hair, and bristly grey beards and looked in his 50s."What a lovely weather this is, don't you think? Tell me guys how stressful enough is this institution? has it been on your necks recently as they always do?"Cayden and Alex gave the man a cold stare. A look that said, he should cut the bullshit and go straight to the point, as they were men like him, not kids. "Right. My name is Dr.Khosrow, but you could just call me Khosrow." He smiled, revealing full white teeth well taken care of ""And what do you need Khosrow?" Mr.Khosrow hesitated then he looked at Cayden."Do you think you can take a ride with me Cayden?. You see, I've got so much to discuss with you"******"So what do you think?" Letha asked Nathan as he buttoned the brown leather jacket she had bought at the cloth--shop a few yards down. It looked legit with the brown ragged-jeans he wore t
He looked astounded. "Rose? Why? Why do you need her?""Well, my business and conglomerates are in the same line with what her father is doing. So we're fierce competitors. And I must say lately he is doing a lot to piss me off and shove his shit in my face." He paused."But the thing is, in this game, I have to win, and I have to be at the very top and eliminate all competition, even if I get my hands a little soiled.""What are you going to do to her?" "Oh nothing, nothing at all. My fight is not with the poor lad. I'll use her to get what I want from Swack."Cayden was silent for a moment. "Your steward called me “Master“, why? Or is it that part of this whole weird scheme? And why should I work for you, as that is basically what this is all about. Why should I let you use my enmity with that jerk to control me into getting what you --?""Oh no no... You've got it all wrong." Mr. Khosrow interjected. "First off, I'm not “using“ you. Nathan has been hired by Swack, to protect his da
Gone were the days he believed being the center of attention was the best thing ever, which was just a few days ago. it was starting to become a misfortune more than it was a blessing. What if Velma really turned against him, and joined sides with her brother to fight him? But did he have to worry about that? He was a trained fighter, all he did was fight, he didn't have to care, he shouldn't. "Where are we headed?" He asked, putting his thoughts away and embracing the new distraction. He didn't mind. He'd admit he felt good and on top of the world having this kinds of attention. And a silly part of him didn't want it to end."You'll see. It's just something I've been trying to get a while now and I'm finding it difficult. Maybe you can win it for me "What the hell was she talking about?They crossed the library entrance and came out to the main hall when he saw Rose, and she spotted them as well. Her face was blank of expression, even bored, as she came over. "I've been loo
"For real?" Drew said. "Of course. Why would I like her? She's a brat." "Or maybe you're in self-denial.""No I'm not." "Well I don't know for you, but I need her at my party. She is the influence I need for the girls to come in their throngs." Drew said."She ain't the f**king queen of the girls " Nathan scorned. "Why are you being antagonist if you don't care?" The bell rang for recess and the auditorium soon became noisy. "I have to go hand a flyer to her. Are you coming?" He had to focus on his Job now. Which was staying in close proximity and guarding her. So he didn't have a choice. He didn't even want to go to the Cafe now, even though he knew the attention he'd be receiving there. But he felt none of them would be worth it. "Sure. I have to be around her anyway, so I might as well follow through"Drew and Nic surveyed him. "What do you mean ?" And he realized his mistake, almost too late. He had to result to being childish to resolve the situation. "I mean, she was
Rose patted her forehead and came over. "What do you guys think you're doing? Why are you harassing him?" "You know him?" One of them asked, surprised by her intervention. "We just thought he was stalking you or something. Someone suggested--""He's my boyfriend" She said, making both the girls and Nathan open their mouths in surprise. "Oh, sorry.. we're so sorry..we shouldn't have" The girls scampered away in shame. "Thanks " Nathan said, feeling ashamed himself, all of a sudden. Like he was guilty and didn't deserve her coming to his aid. But she didn't respond and made to walk away, and he stepped in front of her. "You can't keep ignoring me forever yunno""I can try" "Oh come on Rose. Give me a break ""Fine" "Fine?" "Yeah, you can have your break " She eyed him. He snorted. "You're really funny yunno. I'm doing my job now, shouldn't you be atleast pacified? ""I wouldn't have helped you if I wasn't " "Did you hear what she said?" "Yeah... Who do you think?" He didn't
Cayden walked round the cold marble tiled living room without his shirts, holding a glass of coffee in his hand. He was still in the duplex provided him by Mr. Khosrow. He had just completed a hectic session of training, and had to pull of his clothes. Apparently, the whole master talk was already getting to his head. He walked around the apartment like a king.But as much he loved the whole luxury, it wasn't his till he accomplished his end of the bargain. So he had a big mission ahead of him.Velma walked in accompanied by another maiden. The maiden she met earlier handed her over to this one. Unlike the first maiden, this one was highly unfriendly, at least that’s what Velma witnessed as the olive-skinned mean looking lady didn’t return her pleasantries. Without even glancing twice at Velma, she went, “I suppose you’re here for Master Cayden, follow me.”They went pass the lobbyway that felt chill, like a natural cooling system had been fitted into the walls, then into the living r
Nathan had been living in fear for months, after the last face off. Ever since he had become involved with Mr. Swack and Khosrow's illegal organization he had been having a rethink about things. He needed to bring things to an end and make sure no one was going to be hurt again. Two friends had died. No one else was going down that line. He took a glass of juice from his fridge and downed it. Cayden bounced down the stairs dressed in an all black. He looked ready. "How are you holding up?" Nathan asked. "Ready when you are. We have someone to stop" Cayden replied. Nathan nodded. "Are you calling Rose over?" Cayden took his own juice from the fridge."No, I'd very much prefer that I see after this game of violence is over. Where is Nicholas?" "Right here" Nicholas came down, in ash-brown clothes. "Let's go" They all left the house heading for the cars. Nathan had seen firsthand what Khosrow was capable of, and he knew that he had to stop him before it was too late.For w
" You too... Please take care and be careful we'lll be in touch." Nathan said. They kissed and she headed to her vehicle and zoomed off. Amelia waved them Goodbye as she headed to her vehicle too and they got in and headed home. " We finally took Khosrow down... They are all behind bars now" Nathan said, gazing at cayden through the side mirrors. Cayden was shocked as he heard those words " really??? Wow. How??" He asked." It was all Nicholas idea, he made rose lure Remik to spill the beans" Nathan grinned." Really and he spoke??? Wow.... The power of women, Inevitable!" Cayden grinned. They all began to laugh."we need to get someone to detect and disable the bombs" Nicholas said."Yeah that's true, I'll call on my technician to come help us with that" Nathan said, grabbing his phone.As they got home, The technician came and deactivated all the planted bombs all around their mansions and they got in safely and headed to their rooms to rest after the long dayThe next day, N
at the table, allowing them to enjoy the rest of their meal in peace.After dinner, Cayden pulled Nicholas aside and thanked him for diffusing the situation with Veronica."No problem," Nicholas said with a shrug. "I could tell things were getting tense and I thought changing the subject might help."Cayden nodded appreciatively. He knew he couldn't let his past issues with Veronica get in the way of his friendship with Nicholas and Nathan.But as they walked back to the mansion, Cayden couldn't shake off the feeling that something else was brewing beneath the surface. He had heard rumours about Mr Khosrow's recent attacks on Mr Swack's crew, and he knew it was only a matter of time before things came to a head.The next day, as the sun streamed into his room from his window along side the calm breeze from within, Cayden received a call from an unknown number."Hello?" he answered cautiously."Cayden, it's me, Remik," the voice on the other end said quickly. "Listen, I need to talk to
He voiced his concerns to Mr Khosrow who listened intently before reassuring him that everything would be fine. But deep down inside, Remik knew that nothing was ever certain in this line of work.As they prepared for battle once again, Remik steeled himself for what lay ahead. He thought back to those dark days when he was lying in a hospital bed wondering if he would ever walk again.And yet here he was now - ready to take on Swack's empire one more time. It wasn't just about revenge anymore; it was about justice for all those who had suffered at Swack's hands.With renewed determination coursing through his veins, Remik stood up from the table and looked around at his comrades-in-arms. "Let's do this," he said firmly. And with those words ringing in their ears, they set out once again to face the challenges that lay ahead - together as one united force against what they deemed tyranny and oppression.A few days later, Cayden and Olivia were out on a date at a busy restaurant in th
As they stepped out of the hideout, Mr Khosrow's face was clouded with guilt, and Remik couldn't help but feel suspicious. He knew that Mr Khosrow had done some terrible things in the past to get back at Swack - he just didn't know the extent of it."So, what's our next move?" Remik asked, trying to steer the conversation away from Mr Khosrow's past."We hit them where it hurts," Mr Khosrow said, his voice laced with anger. "Their drug factories."Remik nodded in agreement, feeling a sense of satisfaction that they were finally making progress against Swack and his empire.But as they made their way towards the factories, they came across Nathan and Rose. Nathan had a dark scowl on his face, and Rose looked worried."What's going on?" Remik asked, immediately sensing something was wrong."Nathan told us what you're planning," Rose said, her tone desperate. "You can't do this. It'll start a war."Nathan stepped forward menacingly. "You might think you're doing the right thing, but you'
Remik and Mr khosrow walked through the city late at night, deep in conversation about their next move. Suddenly, they heard people shouting in the distance. They quickened their pace and found people looting shops.Remik's heart sank as he witnessed the anarchy in front of him. He thought to himself that how much more they have to face to make their city a peaceful place.Mr khosrow saw the desolate expression on his face and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "We'll get there, Remik. We just have to keep fighting." Remik nodded solemnly, feeling a renewed sense of determination.As they continued walking, they noticed a group of young boys huddled together in the corner of an alleyway. One of them had a torn shirt and a black eye. Mr khosrow approached them slowly, his hands raised in a peaceful gesture."What happened here?" he asked them gently.The boys looked up at him with fear in their eyes" We were attacked by some bullies who have been threatening us to give up terr
Remik's heart skipped a beat as he listened in on the conversation. Could this be the answer they had been looking for? A chance to put an end to all the bloodshed and violence?He tried to keep his expression neutral as he continued past the two men, but inside he was buzzing with excitement. He couldn't wait to go back and tell Mr khosrow what he had heard.As he made his way back to their hideout, Remik couldn't help but notice how different the atmosphere in the city felt today. People seemed to be going about their business with a newfound sense of peace and calm as if they were all holding their breath in anticipation of what was to come.When he arrived back at the hideout, Mr khosrow was already waiting for him. "What did you find out?" he asked, eyeing Remik closely."There's going to be a peace summit between the gangs," Remik replied breathlessly. "I think this could be our chance to end all of this."Mr khosrow raised an eyebrow at Remik's words, considering them carefully
As Nathan and Rose's relationship continued to blossom, their love only grew stronger. They spent most of their time together, going on dates, taking walks in the park, and talking about their hopes and dreams. Nathan was always there for Rose, He supported them in every way he can, and they enjoyed moments and shared a lot of time.The next morning, Nathan received a call from Rose. He was drenched in exhaustion after their experience at the club last night and pulled himself to reach through the phone."Hello, my love"?? He said, in a dull low tune." Hey sweet, ops did I wake you up??" Rose replied." Yeah ... But it's all good. Is it that obvious I'm just getting up?" Nathan giggled. He felt quite embarrassed." Yeah, it's all clear from your voice. Well, it's Saturday today and I'd want us to hang out in Cosy Cafe just close to town. I want to see you today" She said. Nathan cleared his throat " Ohh ok, that will be nice. I have some stuff to do with Nicholas today, so when I'm
Cayden was heartbroken as he walked out of the coffee shop. He knew deep down that he still loved Veronica, but he also understood that she had moved on. He frowned, as he walked down to the bus stop to board a bus. His placed his hands in his red jacket and headed back home. On arrival, he walked in to meet Nathan and Nicholas seated on the couch and seeing a movie. The banging sound as he closed the door got their attention. Nicholas and Nathan gazed at the entrance to see who came in." Hey man, Are you Okay?" Nicholas said as he noticed the gloomy countenance.Cayden sat at one of the single couches in the sitting room, his hand on his face and placed his legs on the seat's hand rest." Looks like you had a bad day man," Nicholas said. They gazed at Cayden waiting for a reply." Yeah yeah I had a very bad day... I've lost her guys. It's high time I realize that and move on. I can't keep toiling with my feelings like this" Cayden replied." She didn't accept after all this time o
