The Gold Family estate was filled with laughter and music; the large living room, which was well furnished with the most exquisite items, was filled to the brim with guests.The air around the room was clouded with a sweet scent of soft and expensive wines, and a mixture of hard alcohols present to lighten the mood further.Paul Gold, the head of the Gold family, had just received a message that his son-in-law had been promoted to a third rank in the military, and without hesitating, he wanted to celebrate.His daughter Anna, resplendent in a red cocktail dress, had a bright smile on her face as she chatted with a group of friends who were also singing luxury from the way they were dressed.Her eyes sparkled with amusement with a glass of champagne between the tips of her fingers and suddenly, the large metal door swung open.He was a huge man who could be regarded as a giant with broad shoulders and a chiseled chest, obviously under those loose-fitting suits he wore.Scars etched aro

Kyle stood there, unable to move his legs, his hands trembling as he stared at the child before him; her brown eyes sparkled with curiosity while she stared at the strange man who had more bruises on his body than she had ever seen.She was older than four years old, and it could only mean one thing to him: Anna didn't wait even for a day for him to leave like she was praying for him to leave to continue her life.His heart sank at this thought yet he remained indifferent.“This…. This is your child?” His heart rippled in pain as he fired the question even though the evidence was clearly before him.“Yes Kyle, I just told you that you don't expect the world to stop moving just because you went to jail, I moved on and I think that it is time that you do the same”Her voice was cold and nonchalant, devoid of any form of emotions “If you don't mind me asking, how old is she?” his voice was above a whisper as he asked.He was so scared of the answer he was about to get, even though it wa

Everyone in the street and the neighbors around the Golds mansion had all come out, staring at the convoy that just drove out of there.This was the first time such a sophisticated convoy had driven up here to the estate.Most of them were forced to believe that it was Mr. Jake who was handed such a convoy in honor of his new promotion in the military.There was an awkward silence that swept through the car. Alex, who was seated next to him, was unsure what to say, but he knew that Kyle was definitely dealing with a lot of emotions at the moment.Kyle had his gaze fixed on the scenery outside the car, his cold gaze that seemed to follow every tree that passed by like it held the answer he was searching for.“How did it go?” He suddenly asked, seeing that Kyle wasn't ready to speak. Kyle had his gaze staring outside the car, a blank expression on his face.“Just as expected, Mr. Hales was right all this while”“So what are you going to do now?”“We are going to start the investigation

At the other side of the hall were Mr. Jonathan Clifford and Mr. Paul Gold, no doubt that they were having a deep conversation, their voice deep and not to be heard by a third party.“His son is back in town!” Paul went ahead to mention to Jonathan in between the conversation; at first, Jonathan had no idea what he meant, but seeing the expression on his face, he froze right there.“You are saying that Pan's son is back, I thought you sent him away for good?” Paul's words sent a jolt through Jonathan's Demeanor; his eyes widened, and he suddenly became pale.“I thought that I did, but I have no idea how he was able to come back.” Paul let out a long sigh, his fingers tapping on the desk, the memory of what happened five years ago still vivid in his memory.“We need to get rid of him as soon as possible, now that my son is climbing the ladder, the last thing that I need right now is someone ruining everything for us”“You don't have to worry about him, he is a worthless human who just

Her eyes were consumed with frustration.Anna could not stop pacing around; she had waited so much for this day, there had been so much anticipation, and it had been the main reason she agreed to this marriage, but now, no matter how much she wanted to calm down, she couldn't.“You do know that no matter how much you give pacing around, it isn't going to solve any of the problems right now, instead it is only going to make you dizzy”Jake suggested with a long shrug after not being able to endure seeing his wife like that anymore.“If you don't want me to stop pacing, then you should probably give me a good explanation as to what happen

Kyle remained calm even while Sky attended to his wounds, from time to time, her gaze kept on drifting to his face but he maintained a blank expression like he had no idea what had been done to him.“This is going to hurt!” She announced before applying some alcohol on his wound but he remained still like he had no idea what was going on.Sky went ahead with the procedure, he gritted his teeth as he remained calm and watched her pull the bullet out from him.Once it was out, she carefully dressed out his wound and while she was engrossed in that, Sky was starting to get uncomfortable with how silent he was and decided to speak.“Why did you do it?” She blurted out knowing fully well that meeting that child was one of the reasons for his silence.“What are you talking about?”“You know exactly what I am talking about, why did you agree to take the job, you could have said no and no one is going to question you for that, yet you still went ahead to accept this job knowing how much traum

Anna had waited for quite some time now and her legs were all starting to hurt.

Kyle felt an immense pain surge through his veins, no doubt that the bullet had penetrated his heart; he turned around and realized that there was a group of men fully armed And rushing towards him.Their weapons were so mighty that this was only used in high operations in the military as they made sure that there were no other civilians that could grasp them.But as the gunshot became intended, all that mattered to Kyle was Sasha; he quickly picked her up and began rushing towards the shelter.“Blood! There is blood on your shirt!” She alerted even with the loud noise echoing through the woods; although Kyle was in immense pain, he did not stop, shooting as much as he could, and at the same time, he was trying so hard to protect her.“Put Hassan in the crossfire!” Kyle commanded in a loud tone, making sure that his voice could be heard even with the loud gunshots whizzing through the air.Although they had just heard his instructions just now, they were all stunned at his request.“W

Kyle found a stone where he sat down. They had just gone through a rough fight, and now he felt like he needed to rest while thinking of a way out of this.“How many miles do we have to walk before we get to the road?”“That would be 12 to 20 miles, it all depends. But Theo and Jayden have both been injured so I am saying that it's going to be a while before we get there”“Then we have to do it, once we get to a place where there is a signal, then I am certain that we can be able to call for backup”He ordered and stretched his hands towards the little girl but a frown had appeared on her tender face as she folded both her hands.“I am not going anywhere with you. You are a liar, and my mommy says that liars are bad people; you are bad!” She yelled at the top of her voice, And even though Hassan was in pain, he still found a way to laugh about it.“This little girl is like your government; you help them, and they turn against you,” he remarked and then gave it a good laugh again; as

Kyle could hear his heart suddenly begin to race, he was consumed with anger and even with his teeth gritted, he clenched his fist so hard that they were starting to get red.“Isn't this case involving the Clifford grandchild?” He asked but one of the high ranking generals shook his head.“I am afraid but we are not to disclose any more of this case to you, that is all that you need to know on order to embark on it”“You don't have to disclose anything to me, I have all tej information that I need and I can tell you all that I am not taking this job!”He spoke in a deep voice etched with determination as he started walking out the door but one of the officers immediately slammed the door to his face.“You can't leave, this is a task that you have been assigned”“And I am telling you to go ahead and tell the senior authorities that I am not taking the task”“You do understand the implications of what you are trying to do?” General Kelvin expressed but Kyle turned to him as he stared di

The air around the large living room felt so intense; Paul held a glass of whiskey, and at the other end of the couch was Clifford,d, who hadn't touched his drink since he arrived, his fingers tapping nervously on the arm of the couch.“You need to calm down Clifford, those men that I sent are very skilled, and besides Kyle is a nobody, I don't see why they shouldn't be able to get rid of him”“I understand but the fact that he was with your family for long, er have no idea what he knows or who he might have told”Clifford etched his brows with concern, but Paul remained calm, with no doubt that he had the situation under control.“You listen to me. I don't know what he knows about but even if he does, no one would listen to him. You served the army diligently and retired with stars, and in my case, I have been supplying weapons to all military bases for as long as I can remember. Do you think that they are going to believe his words over us?”His words were starting to make sense to
