With just a call from Lydia, three bodyguards entered the house and they took out the bodies, leaving just one. Rhys had killed everyone but one for a reason. The limbs and blood were quickly cleaned up and the room reverted to the normal state it was. Except for the lingering scent of blood in the air, no one would be able to guess what happened in the room. Lydia insisted on helping Rhys clean up and bandage the injury on his shoulder, she complained a few times while she was finishing the task. “How could you be so careless with your life?”“I promise, it would never happen again.” Rhys could only try to reassure her but there wasn’t much that he could say that would calm her down.“What of it has been your heart? What would you have done? Why didn’t you try to escape?” She went on and on about how Rhys could have avoided getting injured, then she turned to the three bodyguards who stood by the side with their heads bowed, they were trying to make their presence in the room very s
In an unknown location, a man sat on his desk, before a computer with a frown on his face as he read the recent news on the internet. The look on his face morphed to that of sheer anger as a picture popped up on the screen. “Who is this bastard! How dare he try to take what belongs to me!” .. the phone on the desk fell on his line of sight, he grabbed it and started to go through some of the contents on it. The picture of a woman appeared on the screen, he smiled as he gazed at it. “It won’t be long before you are by my side.” He kissed the screen and a very malicious expression appeared on his face.The woman on the picture was one that was familiar to a lot of people. It was Elena Topaz.The main socialite of the country and the dream woman of a lot of men and he was not an exception.He could still recall the first time he had saw her, he instantly knew that she was the one he wanted by her side. She would stand by his side and rule the empire he was slowly building, she would al
In another location, there was a man dressed in a white lab coat, he was staring at a large tube placed in the center of the room, inside the tube was a grown man who was twitching in pain, he kept scratching on his naked body with his nails, not caring whether pieces of flesh came off because of his actions.The man was screaming in pain but the sound could not be heard outside the tube, only his expression was enough to describe the pain he was feeling. The doctor was unmoved, he started crackling. “I am close! So close, just a few more experiments and I would be able to control the world.”The man in the test tube couldn’t hang on any longer, he let out a loud scream before his body exploded into bits. All that was left was meat paste and blood in replacement of what had been a human. There were numerous maggots moving around the bits of the man.“Experiment 763 was a failure, but we are so close to success.” The Doctor whispered to a recording pen that he was holding. “With a few
“Boss, we were not able to find the one who shot at you.” Zain nervously said to Rhys. They were currently inside Rhys car, he sat far away from Rhys, scared of getting to close to him.Rhys rubbed his forehead, he was beginning to have a headache, a lot of things have been happening since his return to his family and it was hard to keep up with it. He hasn’t been able to find concrete evidence against his uncle, the one who shot him has not been found and there was no clue of the person who had hired assassins to get rid of him.Everything was more and more complicated as days went by. After the incident with assassins, his bodyguards had increased so much, even though they were not in plain sight, Rhys could still sense their presence around him.“It’s alright Zain, take a walk with me.” Rhys stepped out of the car with a frown on his face and began walking to nowhere in particular. Zain hurriedly got of the car before following Rhys, he quietly walked behind him. There were some
A man who had seeing the interaction between Rhys and Lucas wore a smile on his face as he entered the same restaurant that Rhys had entered. He wasn’t surprised when he doesn’t find a trace of Rhys on the first floor. He walked towards the stairs which led to the second floor. “Sir, can I help you?” The guard stationed at the foot of the stairs was not ride to him after seeing his appearance.The man took out a card, the card collected it, took a glance at it and returned it with a more respectful expression on his face. “Young Master, forgive me for my impudence earlier. I did not recognize you.” The other man still retained the smile on his face, he had taken no offence to the guard’s behavior earlier knowing that it was part of the guard’s duty. “It is fine.”The guard stepped aside, allowing the man to go to the second floor. When the man spotted Rhys and Zain on a table, he walked towards that table, the smile on his face doesn’t falter one bit. “Hello friend, you don’t mind
Few hours went by, Rhys was sitting in his car which was packed close to the building where the auction would be held. He had Lorenzo has spoken about he few irrelevant things at the restaurant before he had left. After leaving, he asked his driver to drive round the city, mainly for sightseeing, sent Zain home before he arrived at the building.He was waiting for the two people that would accompany him, Johnathan’s and Elena. Johnathan soon arrived in his sleek sports car. He got out of his car and enters Rhys car. “Hey man, what was so important that you had to make me leave the important missions I was on.”“Well I got extra invitation to an action and I thought it would be boring if I attend all alone.” Rhys was focused on his phone where he was selling some of the shares he had bought in the past to pool more resources for the auction.“What auction?” Johnathan seemed confused.Rhys simply showed him the invitation cards. Johnathan’s jaw dropped. “How- How did you get this?!” He
The arrival of three heirs of the aristocratic families was sure to cause an uproar, as they stepped out of Rhys car, security guards instantly surrounded them to prevent anyone else from getting too close to them. Lorenzo was true to his words. If anything was to happened to any of them on their territory, the consequences would be disastrous. Lorenzo soon arrived with some people accompanying him, his signature smile on his face.“I’m glad you agreed to show up young master Rhys.” The security guards made a path for just Lorenzo. There was an indifferent look on Rhys face, while Elena stood very close to Rhys, her identity was a little different now that she was his fiancée, an amicable smile on her face. Johnathan stood on the other side of Elena, posing for the paparazzi that had suddenly appeared from nowhere. He would rather be dead than be caught uncool.“You gave me an invitation, it would be wrong to turn it down.” “It is a pleasure to finally meet you, Miss Topaz and Master
Even though she did not say anything, from the look in her eyes, Rhys could also tell that Elena wanted one of the villas but unlike Jonathan, she did not clamor for it. The auctioneer continued. “But this villas would be gifted to the person in VIP room number one.”The auctioneer words made many people angry, they didn’t like this sort of behavior as it went against the whole concept of an auction. But no one opened their mouths to voice their opinions and dissatisfaction first. Why? Because they needed to know who the person sitting in room number one was before saying anything. There were quite a lot of experienced people who had seen enough in life to not make a mistake of challenge someone without knowing their true identity.But one person who didn’t think hard did not place a filter in his mouth and said. “Auctioneer this behavior of yours is inappropriate, are you sure you are not going to give the McAuliffe family some face.” Even if the auction went on, Callan knew that th
