The Return Of The God of War 100
Duke looks at the address that Bloom sent him, it also contains a plea for Duke not to kill the man himself, but to let Bloom do it. Duke reads through the address one more time, ignores the attached note, and he drives away. He makes sure that it's night, he has a silencer and he is going to make it as silent as possible – as painless too. He plans to just grab him behind his neck, the way an assassin would, and then put a bullet in his head. Duke finally gets to the address, it's not a house, but a trailer park, and he parks the car. He reads the address again, he doesn't want to go to the wrong house, he doesn't want to do that. When he is sure, he puts the gun in between his pants, and then he walks out of the car. He looks around to make sure that he is the only one that is there when Duke walks into the house. He pulls the door and it opens easily. He walks through the door and shuts it. He takes out the gun and cocks it. The television is on, but no one is watching it.
The Return Of The God of War 101
An impromptu meeting after a few days. That a few days has passed doesn't mean that the fire has died down. Mister Jimmy just got out of the hospital, but is still so weak and Melody hasn't been found. Her family has been frantically trying to get their hands on any piece of information that works to lead to her whereabouts, but to no avail.To the best of their knowledge, Duke has been trying to help, that's what he appears to be doing. He has been trying to solve the case of the man killed in his presence instead. Duke has spent a lot of his time thinking about why the man he went to kill was killed off by some unknown people and it still doesn't make sense to him. Why? Who sent them? What did he know that they wanted to go? Which piece of information was worth his life? With that loud thought in his head, Duke still drives to the Futtermans' house and he sees a lot of cars just before he gets to the house, he sees many cars parked and waiting. He doesn't wait, he turns off
The Return Of The God of War 102
Duke feels his throat dry up. For six years, he has been dreaming of setting his eyes on this man and for almost a year now, he has dedicated his life to that goal. He can't believe that he is now looking at the man now, the Grand Lord, the dictator of evil, and a man directly from the lineage of the devil himself. They are all mesmerized as they look at him from the Windows, Duke feels his blood boil just from the sight of him. This is the man that killed his family members. " I will go down and talk to him, father. " Mister Joseph is already walking to the door. " Do you want to die?" Mister Jimmy asks him. " Grab me my meds, I am going to do that myself. " Mister Joseph comes back with a sigh. He takes out two medicine bottles and drops two pills in his father's palm. He swallows it immediately and with the aid of his walking stick, he starts to make his way out of the room. " The Lords, come with me. " He instructs. " I really thought that the first meeting would be differe

Duke feels like he is in an unreal world. He is sweating so much and struggling to keep his eyes open as he leans against the window. He knows that he is in a moving car, he knows everything that has happened too, but he just feels terrible to think completely right. He struggles to open his eyes for a second and he shuts them again. He recognizes the road even though the night blanket is slowly being pulled over the sky. They are in drought side, he knows that barren land anywhere and anytime. His hands are tied so tightly that he feels his hands getting numb from the lack of circulation of blood. He adjusts his head and he winces, all he feels is pain, raw pain. The car keeps going through the dusty road and finally, it comes to a stop. He opens his eyes and he sees the only mansion – the only building, rather – in drought side. The doors fling open and air meets his tired face. " Get out!"He is pulled out of the car very roughly as he is shoved between people, but he manag

The whole room is still, the guards don't come at him because they know that he is not playing. Duke cocks the gun and the tension in the room grows even tighter. This doesn't dent the grand Lord's confidence, he is still smoking. " Duke, it's going to take more than a bullet to kill me. " The Grand Lord says. " I am going to do it with one bullet. " Duke doesn't even blink. " And it will be the most satisfying thing I would have done in my life. "He laughs again. Duke is angered that he keeps laughing at what he has been saying and he turns to the gun on Lord William. There is not enough time for Lord William to realize what Ill fate has on his behalf and before he can even blink, the bullet has left the gun. Lord William falls to the ground, dead. Eve shuts her eyes and lets out a sigh. Melody lets out a small scream and covers her mouth with her hand. She is not shocked by having just experienced someone dying in front of her, she is more terrified that Duke did it. Her

"No. " Duke says in a voice that he hardly recognizes as his own. He is still being held down and he is still motionlessly watching her. She falls to her knees with her hands around her throat, but she is not yet dead. The Grand Lord, being the cold-hearted devil that he is, did not slice through her throat all through. She is still alive as life slips out of her, a bit at a time. " What, you think I would kill her with a cut?" He gives off a sinister laugh. " That would be too easy and we aren't men of ease. "Duke is looking at her, begging her with his eyes to hold on to dear life. It looks like he is experiencing his family's death all over again and he hates it because he has kept that memory in a part of him that he has frozen. " I told you, you are not going to win. " The Grand Lord reminds him. " And now I am going to kill everyone that you know and even have the smallest of love for."He watches Eve struggle and all he can imagine is how the exact same thing will be d

Duke steps out and for the first time in excruciating hours, he feels the air around him. He inhales very deeply, taking in as much as the scent of freedom and fulfillment. " Duke!"He has hardly turned around when he sees Melody coming towards him, her grandfather is by her side. She suddenly stops and her eyes lower and is still holding the head of the Grand Lord and its dripping blood. She looks like she wants to throw up and pass out at the same time, he feels a jab in his heart. " Don't go anywhere close to him. " Mister Jimmy warns. " We don't know who this man is. " " My Dad. " She heaves. " Where is my father?"Duke's mind goes back to Mister Joseph's body and Joe suddenly he had just died, how he was alive one second and not the next. He looks at the ground. " Just don't go in there. " He says. " Everything will be fine. ""What do you mean?" Her voice quivers. " Where is my father?"Duke can't bear telling her that her father is dead, he doesn't want to hear her she

" Good morning, Dunville, we come with terrible news this morning. " Duke takes a sharp breath as he drinks from his coffee cup. "... A Mafia and a cult clashed yesterday and this resulted in the death of scores of people. The leaders have been identified as Mister Joseph Futterman and Senator Fernando Munoz. " "Mister Munoz is Mexican and has roots deep in crime, he has been identified as the leader of a cult/mafia group called The great five..."Duke stands up and walks to the balcony, he doesn't want to listen to the news anymore. Duke didn't return to his house after all that happened. He instructed Bloom to clear the place and return back to his real residence. He has been in a five-star hotel in Dunville and he is going to remain here till Eve and Mister Joseph are buried. He likes the beautiful serene sight on the balcony from his room, it's unlike what his life has been like in the past few months. He is back to being the rich and influential man that he is, but he has

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.

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

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.

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
