Mister Jimmy listens with a frown on his face about how Lord Derek tries to give a detailed as possible description of what happened that night. It sounds stupid and not an excuse, he doesn't want to take it seriously because it sounds so unreal. "Let me stop you there for a second and make sure that I am getting this straight. " He pauses him. " Are you saying someone dressed like a goddamn comic book character walked into the meeting and disrupted you, people? Is that what you are saying?""Lord Jimmy, it was worse than being said, forgive my description. " He says. " That man was really dangerous and he is the reason why I am holding a crane now. " Mister Jimmy takes a critical look at the crane and then his eyes return to Lord Derek's face. " He threatened us because he claimed that we killed his family and he promised that he would kill all of us that had a hand in it. " He says. " And which family would that be?""He didn't say. He didn't even say his name. "Mister Jimmy i
She is convulsing violently in death. Choking sounds leave her mouth as she dances to the tune of death. Her sister is screaming but since her mouth is covered with duct tape, it is hardly loud. She wriggles over to her sister and nudges her with her leg since she is tied. She keeps on crying and whimpering for her sister to wake up. Lord Derek is still in shock to have watched his young daughter get slaughtered in front of him. He doesn't even blink, he is still staring at her lifeless body and her sister that is crying beside her. After he gains himself back a little, he walks to her and kneels. He takes her in his arms and rocks her as he cries. It's such a heart-wrenching sight to see, he and his daughter are crying their heart out. Duke is still sitting, looking at them without an iota of pity. Lord Derek killed his family and he cried too, that was the day he became heartless and the army hardened him even more. He is not going to feel bad for the girl he killed because
Mister Jimmy is not happy at all. He looks at the images in front of him and he can't help but grit his teeth. At least the images that were published on the news were censored, but these are the real images in front of him. He sees Lord Derek white in death and how his lips helplessly hang in the air and he feels terrible. His wife was stabbed and she died, his junior daughter's throat was cut open and he and his daughter were shot. With this, members of the Grand five will start to doubt their safety. If one of the Lords can get murdered like this, what's going to be their fate?He takes the pictures and squeezes them in his hands as if they are stress relief balls. He throws them to the floor and leans back against his chair. An emergency meeting has been set and there they are going to be meeting to discuss this, but he is just meeting with the Lords for now. They are going to have questions and he knows that he must sort out their answers from the right person.The great fiv
Lord Jethro is powerful and rich. He is a very strong man and has proven himself to be worthy to be the leader of the great five. He killed for the brotherhood, lost many friends, and stabbed many people in the back, and with that, he was able to win the trust of the great Lord and he was appointed the most powerful of his subordinates. He doesn't know who this great Lord is personally, but he is entirely devoted to him. He is the leader of the greatest Mafia group in the country and that's because of the brotherhood and he is grateful for that. He is one of the most feared people in the country. And that's why he refused to let Mister Jimmy tell him that an attacker of their brotherhood killed Lord Derek. If this faceless man is brave enough, if he is as scary as he makes himself appear, then he should have the heart to visit him. After one of the meetings with one of his business partners, he is heading back to his house. He puts his hands into the pockets of his coats and tr
Duke walks to his closet with his towel around his waist. These small tats glisten with tiny droplets of water on them, making him more attractive. He goes through his clothes, there are just a handful of them, and he doesn't want more than necessary. He picks up a tank top, jeans, and a black jacket. He puts those on and matches them with a baseball cap and black boots. He looks into the mirror, he looks simple enough, and that's what he was going for. Well, where is he going at this time of the night?He has a meeting with Bloom and to keep their identity, he is dressing like this. He only needs his wallet and then he walks out of the room. He meets Melody in the kitchen. She has a bowl in her hand and she is tightening her teeth as she mixes with all of her strength. The side of her chin is covered with flour. He looks at her and slaps his hand against his face. She promised him cakes even when he said he doesn't want her to stress herself so here she is, covered in flour
It's dead in the night. The house is quiet except for the crickets giving the night its sound. Lord Jethro lays on his bed very exhausted. Like every other day, he has worked very hard, and now he is trying to sleep but it's not possible. He has been going in and out of consciousness and it has exhausted him even more than his daily activities. He looks beside him, Barbara is asleep. She is naked, but with the sheets pulled over her chest. Yes, they have had sex twice and she slept off, but he hasn't been able to. He looks at her beautiful face and wants to pull her closer to him and go another round, but he has to accept that he is old and isn't that strong. As if she has been reading his mind, her eyes flicker. She smiles tiredly when she sees that he is awake and then she touches his face. "You aren't asleep, babe. " She sighs. " What's on your mind?"" I don't know, I can't seem to fall asleep. " He confesses to her. She stands up from the bed and saddles him. The sheets are
Duke sharply turns around. His eyes are wide and they are darting around as he thinks of what to do. That's a kid, there is a fucking child in this house. He saw the boy with the teddy bear in his hand, but the kid didn't see him. Duke remembers his promise to himself and his heart beats even faster against his chest. He promised himself that whoever so ever sees his face would die and that's why he turned away from the kid. " Papa?" The boy calls again. Duke quickly reaches for his mask and puts it back on his face. He tries his best to wipe off the blood from his face but what can he do when he is almost drenched in it?" Stay where you are, kid. " He says. He turns around and walks to the stairs, the boy is staring at the lady's body at the end of the stairs. He is a cute little boy. His dark hair got messy in his sleep and he pushes it away from his face, his eyes are still heavy with sleep. "What's wrong with Aunt Barbara?" He blinks. " She is taking a nap. " Duke looks
Duke isn't panicking, there is a small chance that the boy would recognize him and it's not that he is scared, but what if?Did he make a good choice by refusing to kill him or is this going to turn around and slap him in his face?He is still fighting those thoughts in his head when Max is being led outside. He is as calm as he was that night when he met him in the house and he is putting on a cardigan that seems to be too big for him. His mother would have done a better job if she was here. He stops in front of Melody who bents down with a kind smile on her face. "Oh, Max. " Her voice breaks like she is about to cry and she hugs him, rocking him gently. He hugs her back but his small hands can't go all the way around. When they pull apart she quickly wipes the tears from her eyes and returns her smile to its place. " You are going to be okay, you hear me?" He nods, maybe all of these have made him lose his voice, that's why he can't answer her. His eyes settle on Duke and he
Tonya is finally going to go home. After a few months of hiding away in an orphanage, she is finally going back home to her family. Duke being too busy with the new government, won't be able to take her home. Eden is given this task and she is the best option given that Tonya is closest to her. So with a huge number of military escorts, they are on their way to Padre island. Eden is sitting beside Tonya in the private plane. Tonya is asleep beside her and she has her head on Eden's lap. Eden gently strokes her head as she keeps her eyes on the white clouds. She has recovered over the week, but she never attended Ansel's burial. The plane has a limited number of passengers, but it's full. She and Tonya are the only civilians here and Eden feels safe. None of the soldiers here are corrupt, all the corrupt ones have been sacked and it was like a cleansing for the whole army. The pilot soon announces that the plane is getting ready to land, and they have come to their destinat
Mister Jimmy looks scared, but he manages to keep himself composed. Eden still has the gun pressed on his head. " That's a very complicated question, do you want to sit down?" He offers. "No." She grunts. " Get talking."He glances over to his son's wife who is totally horrified. "I'm going to call the police!" She screams as if Eden is supposed to scare off the police. " Yeah, you do that." Eden scoffs. " Your father-in-law is supposed to be in jail anyway." " Miss Eden, if you can just tell me what this is about." He begs. " We don't have to settle it this way." " You heard my question, start to answer!" She fires at him, she is losing her patience little by little. "Okay, okay, okay." He gulps down the air. He looks at his son's wife and gives her a nod. She reluctantly goes up the stairs and they are left alone. She lowers the gun and he breathes out in relief. " I'm not dropping this for too long if you don't start talking." He nods and adjusts his seat. " Miss Eden
Now that he has sent the gun in her hand he knows that she isn't joking. His hands are raised in surrender as he backs away into his seat, the one he was sitting on. Eden has managed to cut the tape around her hands and now she is the one with the gun. " You know that the other guy is just outside, right?" He reminds her. " I could whistle right now and you are done for."" Go ahead, do it." She dares, poking the gun against his forehead. " If I don't blow your fucking brains out." He laughs, he behaves so much like Ansel that it kind of creeps her out. Eden has her eyes on him and her ears opened to listen whenever someone walks in. Felix's eyes are boring through her, he is like reading through what is going through her mind. " I get it now." He sounds defeated. " You are a lot smarter than we thought."Eden tilts her head, it's now her turn to smile at him. " It took you a while to get it right, didn't you?" She mocks. " I see what's going on here." He nods. " Your brother
Eden is on the ground, her eyes are shut and she has no consciousness of what has happened to her. The one who has hit her looks up as Ansel stares at him. " I'm sorry, boss." He apologizes. " She was going to cause trouble for us."The other one appears from the front door, he looks at his partner. " It's a good thing you got her when you did, Nate." He nods at him. He who she just entered now is Felix. He has worked for Ansel for a long time and even with his father before. He is close to Ansel and unlike the rest, he has a way to get Ansel to listen to him. " Felix, you got him up to it?" Ansel turns to him, not very happy. " I told you I was going to handle it."" I'm sorry, but you could have taken care of her if you wanted a long time ago." Felix looks down at her. " The fact that she is still alive is enough to tell that you needed a push."He looks at Nate, who looks as if Ansel is going to kill him for what he has done. " Tie her up with duct tape." He instructs. " The
**BREAKING NEWS**** The whole country is in a state of confusion as much evidence has been released against the president and some members of the government and top military. He has been forced to resign and the vice president has just been sworn in.**** Many arrests have been made to link some top businessmen that have been in dubious dealings with the president. **Eden is watching the news from her bed. She takes the remote and turns the volume even higher, she wants to hear all she can. Duke wasn't kidding when she told him that there will be a cleansing. It has been just a few days later and it has come to pass just as he had promised her. She sits in her bed, biting her nails as she tries to concentrate on the images on the screen and what they are saying. ** The new president, as an act of transparency, has released the names of those arrested.**Eden holds her breath as the names appear on the screen. The military officers first, there are a whole lot of them, including
Eden can't believe that this is about to happen. It feels like she has just heard that the rapture is about to come. " When was this decided?" She asks Logan. " I don't know. " He answers truthfully. " Duke just told me what I have told you and that's all I know."Her heart is going crazy. Yes, she wants for the evil among Mafia to end, but she doesn't want Ansel to go down with them. " I have to tell Ansel." She says to herself. " I can't let him fall with the rest."She is already walking away when Logan catches her hand and stops her. "I'm sorry, I can't let you do that." He apologizes. " So you expect me to stand still and watch Ansel get destroyed?" She is agitated. " Let go of me!" She is pulling attention towards them and he has no choice but to pull her to a secret part of the building. She shrugs him off violently. "Listen to me, you have to listen to me." He implores her. " We both should be grateful that Duke saved us from getting caught in the net. Telling Ansel
He was going to be here tonight, she knew and had prepared for that. He has been ignoring her all these weeks, but she hasn't done anything to get his attention. She didn't come here with the intent to get to speak to him, no she came for the meeting and she was going to leave afterward. Now he has entered the room with a lady she has never seen, and she is trying her best to keep cool with it. It would have been better if that was just it, but that lady was having her hands all over him and she started to find it hard to breathe. She didn't take herself to be a very hard kind of person, who gets jealous easily, but here it is. She struggles not to let her jealousy show as he walks to the table. He has a blank look on his face and acts as if Eden is not in her seat. The lady on the other hand seems to be so drilled that she can't stop smiling, it's like this is the best thing that has ever happened to her, this was the sole reason for her existence and coming into this world.
After a long drive, Duke returns home. It's kind of a relief because he is living alone, without those soldiers around to scare him anymore and it comes in quite handy now that he has his own tiny family. He steps out of the car with the crunchies and walks to the house. " Hello, I'm home." He announces loudly. Melody appears from the kitchen with a spatula in her hand and an exhausted look on her face. " Oh God, your back." She wipes sweat from her eyebrow. " Didn't know you would be back so quickly."" I had luck on my side, I found it." He lifts it up for her to see and her face lights up in delight. They walk towards each other and he gives it to her as she places a kiss on the side of his cheek. That was a tease, she kisses him on his lips and he giggles, he is delighted. " I would go out and scavenge for other crunchies if you would kiss me again." She laughs, he is funny when he wants to be. "Oh, I won't do that to my husband." She shakes her head. " But here is anot
Eden hasn't been confused like this in a long time. Ansel hasn't called her since he asked her to leave his house and also she has been too scared to try to call him too. That doesn't mean that hasn't been thinking about what happened in his house, the confrontation, and how she blurted out that she loves him. She might have imagined it, but it's possible that he got kind of scared about what she said because then he refused to speak to her again. Ansel might be madly crazy, but she didn't lie. It might have been just sex and fooling around for him, but she fell for him a long time ago. That's why has ignored every sign that proved to be a red flag in him. She is still hoping that he is going to give up his bad side. She doesn't want to think of him ending up like the bad guys in movies, she hates it. This had led her to some kind of depression and that's why she is still in her room when it's almost midday. She hasn't gone out of her room and she has canceled all meetings tha
