The Return Of The God of War 169
Ansel is smiling like he has won some kind of lottery and at this point, Duke is convinced that his sister has gotten down with a psychopath. " Tell me. " Ansel puts his hand against his chin. " How did you find out?"" It was all your master plan, wasn't it?" Duke fires back his question. " Why don't you tell me?" Ansel lets out a happy exhale and then looks at Duke. " Well, I am going to tell you. It all started when you won't just let Eden and I be. " Ansel starts. " God, you were such a pain and I wanted you gone. I couldn't be directly involved with trying to kill you because your sister will find out. So I plotted it out."" It wasn't hard for you, was it?" Duke nods. " Absolutely not. " Ansel beams. " Not when I have every leader of the military on my payroll, including the freaking president! It took one call to send you straight to Padre island!"" Where your boys were working and where Ethan was your intern." Duke looks out of the window, almost speaking to himself. " E

Vice president Connor McWilliams. He is a hundred times more responsible than the sitting president and everyone knows this. If not for politics and godfatherism, he should have been the president. He has been the only one who has been intentional about positive change in the country, the upright one who wouldn't sell his conscience for a gold coin. It's not a surprise that Mister Conor has been missing a lot in the public eye and Duke hasn't seen or heard from him for a very long time. Mister Conor calling right now has to be something important and at this moment, he wouldn't have taken the call of the president, but he will take that of Mister Conor. He takes the phone from Bloom, who turns around and leaves the room. Duke places the phone over his ear and strolls to the window. " Duke Dawson. " He hears Mister Conor's familiar voice, it has been a long time. " Good evening, Mister vice president. " He greets. " Sorry for the wait, I just came back from a trip and I was tak

Logan is looking straight at Eden, she is leaning against the wall of her office. She is thinking as she taps her puffed cheek with a pen. " What do you think?" She asks Logan. " Should I let him go through?"" You don't need my opinion, I am only delivering a message, I will take back to him whatever you say. " Logan shrugs. "Hmm." She huffs and returns back to her seat. " You think I should let a wanted criminal pass my territory? But there is a bounty on his head."" Yes, but he has promised to give you three times more than what the government is promising." Logan reminds her. Eden lets out a chuckle, she has been caught, and she likes the price involved. " That's a lot of money, I think I am going to take it. " She concludes. " Tell him he can go through, only him." "Woah, that's the catch." Logan stops her. " He is crossing with some of his men, and some of his hostages."Eden's face changes, and drastically. Her eyes grow dark and her eyebrows furrow. "Hostages?" She repe

Eden is left throbbing on the bed even after having slept for good hours. She has woken up in Ansel's bedroom with clear images of the sex they had hours ago. She sighs as she sits up on the bed, she is still sensitive in her down area, but it's in a good way. Maybe that's why she hasn't left Ansel after all of this time, he knows how to leave a woman satisfied. She pulls the blanket with her as she gets off the bed and she gingerly walks to the bathroom. She takes a slow bath and finds a free dress to put on. Now she is hungry. She goes to the kitchen and pours herself a glass of drink. The current housekeeper wanders in and almost trips when she sees her. " Good evening, ma'am." She greets with a stammer. Eden nods, that's just about all of the acknowledgment she gives the woman. She waves her away and she goes off to her business in the kitchen. Eden is perched on a stool from the kitchen. Ansel is downstairs in the sitting room. She can hear his conversation if she tr

Duke is working in his office, looking through records and lightly chewing on his pen when he hears a knock on his door. He looks up to see Melody looking at him. She has changed through the months and that's probably because the pregnancy did change her. She is chubby and her skin glows even more, but that just makes her even prettier. She is holding the door by a small crack and she peeks through it. " Hi. " She smiles. " I'm so sorry to bother you.""No, you're cool." He closes the files in front of him and pushes them aside. He has been this way since she came to live with him. He drops everything the very instant she calls for him. She walks in, she is putting on a beautiful long black gown. She turns around and lifts her hair so that he can get her zipper. He pulls it up and arranges her hair to cover it back. " Thanks. " She says. " You're welcome." He nods. " Bloom went to get the team from the airport." She says to him. " We are going to get to work as soon as the

" General." Duke acknowledges him with a nod. " This is unexpected. "" Indeed, it is." He grunts. " To what do I owe this visit?" Duke asks. " It has been a while since I last saw you, to be honest."" You are being invited to the office for questioning." General John says. " You are to come immediately."" What for?" Duke shrugs. " I thought you guys didn't want anything to do with me anymore?"" Quit the questions and come with us, son. " General John groans. " For once, stop being such a pain."" Why does this look like an arrest to me?" Bloom chimps in. " Why bring this number of soldiers just to invite him in?" " Watch who you speak to, son? " General John warns him. " You have forgotten that you can be dealt with massively."" Leave him out of this, I am the one you came for," Duke warns. He pushes Bloom behind him. " Come with us, General." He says. ", The longer you linger, the harder it gets for all of us."" I'm sorry, General John, but that won't be possible," Duke t

Eden has shades on as she walks down the road, her hands deep in her coat pockets. Guards are all around her and the curious look on the faces of people who stop by to look at her. She ignores all of them, making sure her head is high in the air as she goes.She walks into the bank, all the workers are standing up, to acknowledge her. She stops as hurrying footsteps approaches her and her entourage. An elderly man appears and hurriedly walks towards her. " Hello, Miss Eden." He bows. " I am Thomas Jean, I am the president of this Bank."" Nice to meet you, Mister Thomas." She smiles as she takes his handshake. ", What's with all the courtesy, it's not necessary."" Forgive me, but it's only necessary to give this to you." He insists. "Your brother visited the bank a few months ago and was utterly disrespected by my nephew who didn't know who he was, we are just trying to avoid such again."" Oh, I see." She smiles." Didn't know that you knew my brother."" Only the dead wouldn't

Eden lets out an awful sound as she clutches her stomach and presses her hand over her mouth. This is not what she expected to see here, she would have gladly seen a ghost or anything, but not a helpless child. The child, being aware of her presence, can't move or sit up, she just lay there whimpering for her dear life. Eden doesn't think twice, she descends the stairs and picks up the child in her arms. How can a human being feel so light? She opens her huge, but weak, eyes and she tries to move her lips. " Oh my God, are you okay?" Eden asks her. " What happened to you?"The child is covered in bruises and dirt, Eden doesn't know what has happened to her, but it's not looking good at all. The child slowly closes her eyes and Eden's heart stops immediately. " Wait, don't die, please," Eden begs. " Help! Help!"Ansel needs to see this. How did this child get into his basement? This child can't be anything more than ten years old, but she looks so small from lack of food and h
