The Return Of The God of War 78
Duke is adjusting his suit as he looks at his hair in the mirror, he makes sure that his hair is not sticking out and messing with his perfection. How the hell holds meetings in the night? Even the general, who decides which country is destroyed, doesn't hold night meetings unless it's an emergency. He almost forgot that this is the great five, the brotherhood that puts men in high places and also removes them too, their meetings won't be easily done during the day time, the night is a special ingredient to their evilness. Duke is in the car when Mister Jimmy walks in with a black coat over himself and dark shades too. He shuts the door and looks at Duke through the mirror. " You don't have a coat on?" Mister Jimmy frowns. " Are you planning to freeze to death?"" I had no idea that we would be having an outing this late at night and I kind of forgot about a coat. "" Well it's going to be a very cold night for you, I am sure of that. " Mister Jimmy nods. " You won't forget next

The hefty bodyguard behind her walks out of the room immediately. Duke looks like he has been struck by lightning as he can't stop looking at this beautiful woman. She should be in her early fifties but she hasn't lost even the slightest bit of her youthful beauty. Her dark hair is over her shoulders and she walks away from the puddle of her cloak in silk gracefulness. Duke, on instinct, pulls out a chair for her and she smiles at him. He grabs her cloak and puts it on a rack in the room. It must be for her because the others still have their coats on. " Welcome, Lord Eve. " Mister Jimmy bows to her and that's the most mind-blowing thing Duke has seen in this association. In here where women are servile it's interesting to see a woman who is standing around with the leaders. Lord Eve, as he heard what was said, looks down on the table as she taps her finger. "Why don't I feel welcomed?" She looks around. " Oh, I have never felt welcome. Not when I was a common member and not n

Duke feels the slim sides of the paper against his finger and he watches her walk out and wink at him just before she completely covers her face completely with the cloak. He is frozen until she leaves and then he turns back to Mister Jimmy and Lord William. They are both preparing to leave the room he is looking at them. " The fucking cunt. " Lord William curses. " She has been a lot lousier since her husband died. I remember when she kept quiet and listened when he was alive..."" The grand Lord still made her one of the Lords and there is nothing we can do about it. " Mister Jimmy shakes his head. " There is nothing we can do about it. "Lord William stops as if he has an idea that no one can guess. " How about you tell the Grand Lord that we want to get her removed?" He suggests. " It has been done before and I know that he is not going to have a problem doing it one more time. "Mister Jimmy shuts his eyes tightly as if he wants to drive out the bad memories from his brain.

Duke looks back at her, with a smile on his face, but he hasn't gotten the words to tell her right now. She looks around again and then stands up to her feet. She gestures to him. " Come on, let's find somewhere private to talk. " She walks away. Duke doesn't trust her, hell he doesn't trust anyone in the great five and his eyes are the only thing that follows her as she walks back to the stairs. When she notices that he isn't behind her, she stops and gives him a small frown. " Trust me, I am not one of the bad guys. Come. " She urges him. Duke pushes himself to his feet and he follows behind her. She walks up the stairs and he leaves a few steps between them. They encounter one of the servant girls on their way up and the scared girl stops and presses herself against the wall and keeps her eyes on the ground. " I am busy and I don't want to be disturbed. " Lord Eve says to her. " Let the others know. "" Yes, ma'am. " Duke follows after her, wondering how the hell she know
The Return Of The God of War 82
Duke is still. "What?"She shakes her head at his ignorance. " What Duke?" She asks. " You thought maybe you were so lucky that a speed boat just happened to be at the shore that day and also had the money there?"That's exactly what Duke thought happened. His father probably found out that something tragic would happen and he kept the boat there, but apparently, that's not what happened. She scoffs and walks back to the table. She pulls out a bottle of vodka and two shot cups as she pours out the drink. She sets one in front of Duke, but he is lost in his thoughts. " You saved me?" He finally finds his voice again. " Well, in some kind of way. " She shrugs. " I heard of the plan against your father after he was stripped of his lordship and there was nothing I could do, so I set up an escape plan for you. ""How did you know I would escape?""Hope, Duke. I had a lot of hope that your family would get out of it. " She sighs. All of this, it's too much for Duke to process and he

Melody looks at herself in the mirror and she blows away the strand of hair that is falling over her left eye but it only bounces and returns to its position. It's hard for her to even recognize herself in the mirror because of the makeup. The sharp contrast between the redness of her lips and the innocent pale skin of hers is too obvious. Even though it's so uncomfortable, she is not going to wipe it off or try to reduce the makeup because she knows that they are going to reapply it anyway. She concentrates on her eyes in the images and she reminds herself that she can do this another day. She takes off her robe and lets it calm to the ground. She is only putting on a red bra and panties to match, nothing more. She takes off the shirt that looks so smooth that she is so careful not to make crisps on it as she puts it on. That's it, that's all the clothing she is going to get for the shoot today. She isn't allowed to button up too, she just holds the sides together and turns aro

Bloom hasn't forgotten all about Jace and he is not going bro any time soon. He remembers how Jace got crazy and drugged Melody and how if not for him she would have been in real trouble. " Wait, is that not the same asshole who drugged you?" Bloom points out as if she can't see the obvious. " Man, it's not like that. " She sighs. " Jace got caught up in some irrational thought of his, but he apologized and we are cool now. "Bloom only nods, he can't convince her otherwise, can he? And it's not like it's any of his business right now. " Why don't we forget about what happened in the past and just have a nice dinner?" She suggests. " Yes, ma'am, if you say so. " He agrees. They wait for the cars driving by to all go before they cross to the other side of the road. The restaurant " reale" isn't one of those big ones. This is a medium-sized restaurant but it's fully packed with luxury and class. Not everyone can afford it, so they aren't big enough to accommodate everyone in tow

Melody returns to her hotel room with exhaustion weighing her like a bag of cement that was dipped into water. She falls on the bed with a long sigh and kicks off her shoes. All she wants at this point is just to go to sleep, but she can't do that now, she can't. She can't go to sleep knowing that Bloom is going to tell Duke the truth if she doesn't tell him herself. Duke might be as calm as water, but he gets pretty crazy when he gets angry, she knows this. He is very defensive of her and if he finds out that Jace was the one who pitched the modeling idea to her, he is going to be good as dead whenever Duke sees him. She rolls her eyes as she takes out her phone. He better answers his phone, he better pick up. She sits up on the bed and crosses her leg as she starts the excruciating process of dialing his number. The problem is not calling him, it's the fact that he doesn't want to pick up her calls. She tried, God, she tried for tens of times but he was just so stubborn. Sh

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.

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

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
