"Why would you make a mistake that can ruin you?" Alex says, his voice laced with frustration and disbelief. "You should have contacted me before doing things in your own way. The General isn't someone to toy with." He shakes his head, his eyes filled with disappointment.Judas scoffs, his face twisted in defiance. "I'm tired of hearing this bullshit," he says, his voice dripping with disdain. "Tyler is a human like me, so I can never be afraid of him, never!" He slams his fist on the table, his eyes blazing with determination.Alex sighs, his expression exasperated. "This is the problem I have with you," he says, his voice calm but firm. "You don't want to accept that the General is bigger than you. You should accept that to bring him down." He leans forward, his eyes locked on Judas.Judas snorts, his face reddening with anger. "He isn't bigger than me," he says, his voice trembling with rage. "And you rushed down to my house when you knew you were in trouble." He spits out the word
"But that man I met today doesn't look like a troublesome person," Janet says, her voice filled with surprise, her eyes wide with wonder. "He even looks more jovial than the general," she adds, her lips curving into a gentle smile. "I thought you were already working for him," she says, her tone tinged with assumption.Alex's expression turns serious, his eyes clouding with concern. "Money will kill you one day, Janet," he says, his voice low and warning. "I know you're doing all these things because of money," he continues, his gaze piercing. "I am working for Judas, I can't deny that," he admits, his shoulders squaring. "But Judas isn't to be trusted," he warns, his voice laced with caution.Janet's eyes narrow, her brow furrowing in skepticism. "He looks trusted to me," she replies, her voice firm, her chin jutting out in defiance. Her eyes sparkle with a hint of naivety, her expression betraying her innocence.Alex's eyes flash with alarm, his face pale with worry. "Janet, don't b
Tyler's expression turned impatient, his eyes narrowing as he snapped, "You should stop asking me questions and go straight to the point. I have many things to do, and I don't have time for your games."Raven's face remained calm, her voice even. "I am here to help you, Tyler. I mean no harm."Tyler's skepticism was palpable. "You're here to help me, or are you here to tell me how bad Judas is because your relationship went sour with him?" he asked, his tone laced with distrust.Raven's eyes widened, a flicker of surprise crossing her face. "Don't tell me you know I'm working for Judas?" she asked, her voice laced with a hint of concern.Tyler's gaze was piercing, his eyes boring into hers. "Yeah, you look very suspicious from the first time I set my eyes on you," he said, his voice firm. "I can spot a spy from a mile away, and you, Raven, are definitely hiding something."Raven's eyes flashed with a hint of defiance, but she quickly composed herself. "I'm not a spy, Tyler," she said,
The next day, Adrianna pulled her sleek black car into the garage, the sound of the engine dying down as she shifted into park. Before stepping out, she took a moment to adjust her designer sunglasses and smooth out her luxurious hair. With a confident smile, she emerged from the vehicle and strode into her fashion house, her stiletto heels clicking on the marble floor.As she entered, the receptionist, a poised young woman with a warm smile, bowed her head in respect. "Welcome, ma'am," she said, her voice dripping with deference.Adrianna's response was gracious and warm. "Good morning, my dear. It's lovely to be here."The receptionist's eyes flickered to a nearby tablet before returning to Adrianna's face. "Ma'am, Ms. Raven is here to see you. She has an appointment regarding a wedding dress."Adrianna's brow furrowed slightly as she tried to place the name. "Remind me who that is," she asked, her tone gentle but commanding.The receptionist hesitated for a moment before responding
Raven's eyes welled up with gratitude as she gazed at Adrianna. "Thank you very much, ma. I really appreciate what you just did for me. I never knew you could console me like that." Her voice cracked with emotion, her body still shaking from the earlier sobs. Adrianna's expression was warm and reassuring. "Don't think about him, Raven. It's his loss that he left you. He will soon regret his action, because it's not easy to betray a good woman like you." She spoke with conviction, her words dripping with sincerity. Raven sniffled, her hand instinctively reaching up to wipe away the tears that had begun to fall again. "You can say that again," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. Adrianna smiled softly. "Don't worry about the wedding dress, Raven. I will refund your money. Don't worry, I'm going to sell the cloth to someone else." Her tone was gentle, her eyes filled with understanding. Raven's face lit up with a smile, her eyes shining with gratitude. "Thank you very much, ma
Judas's eyes narrowed, his voice laced with accusation. "I knew deep down that you're still working for me. you met Tyler yesterday and his wife today. You completely fooled his wife, I know you're doing all that for me. Just forgive me and let's work together."Raven burst into laughter, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Who's deceiving you? I'm with his wife because I want her to bring him back to his senses and accept my help."Judas's face darkened, his skepticism evident. "What help? I know you don't do anything that doesn't benefit you financially, and I knew Tyler will never pay you to get information from you."Raven's smile grew wider, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Yeah, he won't pay me because he isn't desperate to bring you down. You're the only desperate one here, and I'm not helping Judas because of money."Judas's eyes narrowed, his voice laced with disbelief. "Why are you helping him then?"Raven's expression turned serious, her eyes locked on Judas. "My conscienc
Judas's face turned red with rage and pain, his eyes blazing with fury. "You'll regret this, Collins!" he snarled, his voice venomous. "You'll regret crossing me!"Collins's smile was cold and unforgiving. "I'm shaking in my boots, Mr," he sneered. "But I'll never regret protecting Raven from scum like you."Raven's eyes filled with tears, her voice pleading. "Collins, please! Let him go! This isn't worth it!"But Collins's grip only tightened, his eyes never leaving Judas's face. "You can't hurt my bad and expect me to just find my hands and watch. "You deserve more than I did to you."Judas's eyes flashed with anger, his face twisted in a snarl. "You'll pay for this, Collins!" he spat, his voice dripping with malice. "You'll pay for humiliating me!"With a sudden jerk, Collins released Judas's wrist, sending him stumbling backward. Raven rushed to Collins's side, her eyes wide with fear. "Collins, please! Let's just leave! He's not worth it!"Collins's eyes never left Judas's face,
Raven's eyes filled with a mix of sadness and determination as she gazed at Collins. "I told you, Collins, you can't fall for me. I'm bad news. I love you, but I can't date you. Judas is going to hurt you, and I don't want that for you." Her voice was laced with a hint of desperation, her words tumbling out in a rush.Collins's expression remained steadfast, his eyes locked onto Raven's with a fierce intensity. "I know that guy so well, Raven. He's fond of misusing his power, but you don't need to be afraid of what will happen to me. I can take care of myself." His voice was confident, his jaw set in a resolute line.Raven's eyes flashed with frustration, her hands gesturing in a helpless motion. "You don't understand, Collins. Judas has a way of getting what he wants, no matter the cost. He'll stop at nothing to destroy anyone who stands in his way. And if he finds out about us...about how I feel about you..." Her voice trailed off, her eyes filling with unshed tears.Collins's face
