“What is it?” He asked, scornfully, he did not need any idea from her, he just needed her to agree with him so he could pull his plan off easily, Cecil cleared her throat and grinned softly, her eyes gleaming as she stared at him, “How about we flee with the loot?” She asked with a smile on her face as she thought her idea was very good. On the other hand, Stefan scoffed at her, “What do you mean, flee with the loot?” He asked, touching the base of his neck, as he stared at her, “Let’s run away with the loot; we can either disappear with it or hide it somewhere and give them a cock and bull story,” she said, explaining herself in detail, then paused for a while. “Think about this!” She urged, “We take the loot with us, and divert it to another location, then we go back to them after a few days and tell them we were attacked.” She explained, “We tell them we were attacked by a man named Adam Sanders and the loot was stolen by him and his men,” Cecil smirked at her sugge
It was dark in Adam’s den, and he was alone, his eyes were shut tight as he kept waiting for his men to bring him some update on their mission to the border, but it turned out to be what was going to take forever,Old man Thompson and Sage Robinson had left him in the den and headed out to get other things done. He ran his mind through the series of events of that day and he took a deep breath. Williams was now in his custody, and he could decide to kill him on the spot, but he was not willing to spill his blood, rather, he needed to put him through the exact type of pain that he put him through.“Young master!” Raul’s voice called out in the dark as he tried to figure out which exact part of the den his young master was, as he could not see through the total darkness that enveloped the entire room,“Raul.” He called out gently as he could see this figure moving around the room,“Behind you.” He replied and Raul turned around immediately, “We are back.” He said as he stared at his
Old Man Thompson could feel Adam's rage and knew it could get worse with Dreymond ending up hurt if he didn't dare interfere, and if that happened, it could ruin all the progress that had been made thus far, Without hesitating, he stepped in front of Adam, placing himself between him and Dreymond, blocking him from advancing further to the latter. He gave Adam a curt nod, and then shook his head briefly, before glancing backwards at Dreymond who had the decency to lower his head, “Pay him no attention,” He told Adam who was beginning to pant heavily while looking over the Old Man's shoulder at Dreymond, his hands clenched and unclenched while he stared. To try to calm himself, he closed his eyes and released a deep breath, Opening his eyes, Adam calmly stared at Old Man Thompson, focusing his gaze on him before finally raising his head to give Dreymond a final glare, the latter got the subtle message, and he nodded crisply, expelling a breath he never knew he held. Sage Ro
Leila was lying on her bed and staring at the ceiling, it had been such a memorable day that she had, and she was glad that everything seemed to be falling into place, well except for her family, at that niggling thought, she tossed on her bed,Her father was already getting better and was looking to be brought home the next day and her relationship with Adam was flourishing. “I hope we get married.” She thought to herself as she smiled widely, she thought about how her sister would react to that and she shook her head,“Well, I don’t care.” Leila blurted out but her heart melted as soon as she thought of her sister. Her sister’s happiness meant a lot to her and she would be very happy to have her sister by her side on her big day. “Joan, please be reasonable,” she mumbled to herself and her eyes became teary. Over time, her relationship with Joan had deteriorated, and it made her very sad; her sister had been her best friend since they had both been alive, and there had never bee
It was morning in Stefan’s shack house, and they were all sitting in the living room, staring at each other. Stefan had become nicer to them as he needed them to trust him enough before he could pull off his plans for them,“Do you guys need anything?” He asked as he stood up from the chair where he was sitting.“Just basic supplies and toiletries,” Cecil responded, adjusting herself on the seat,He nodded and stood up to leave.All night, Louisa had occupied herself with thoughts of how she would escape from this shack and get to Adam,She knew she needed to act fast, as Stefan’s men might call to inform him that it was time to head to the border. Louisa had overheard him on the phone the previous night talking about it and informing his accomplice that he was bringing extra people on board.“Listen up,” Stefan said and stopped for a moment, he turned around to face them so that they could get his information properly,“I have been informed that a ship will be coming in today; if it
Stefan stayed silent for a little while before he finally asked his next question, “And why are you going there? What's your plan?” staring at her to make sure she was not going to lie to him, he didn't want to leave any loose ends. Louisa sighed, and her lips began trembling, “I have a baby, Stefan. My son is just a toddler,” she spoke through her tear-filled throat, as tears began to run down her face, “I cannot afford to leave without seeing my baby; I would never forgive myself if I did that,” Louisa informed Stefan, almost whimpering to herself, she had replied in a low and sad tone, and Stefan gave her a curt nod. He could try to understand her plight, besides, he wasn't one to deny a mother her son, it was a special bond they shared. He'd know because his mother was instrumental in him becoming a gangster and, unfortunately,y, had been killed while trying to save his life. He felt a pang in his heart, and briefly shook his head. Stefan couldn't stand in the way of Lo
Adam got out of his bed and walked into his bathroom to freshen up; He returned home very early in the morning whilst Ariel and Evelyn were still asleep. He had gone straight to his bedroom as he did not want to disturb their sleep. He got out of the bathroom and headed for Ariel’s room, needing to check on her to see how she was doing. He went into her room without knocking, seeing the clock in her room and it was almost midday,“I must have slept for so long.” He spoke aloud to himself as he walked towards her bed. “Dad.” She called out excitedly, as she sighted her father,“When did you get back?” She asked him curiously as she watched him sit on her bed gently. “What are you up to?” He asked her, ignoring her previous question. He had noticed that she was so preoccupied with what she was doing that she did not come to hug him.“Painting.” She simply responded as she continued to focus on the board that was in front of her.“You are painting?” Adam's eyes bulged, and he drew hi
Stefan drove into the premises at full speed as though he was about to smash the house into pieces, he got out of the car and stormed into the house abruptly, causing Cecil and Logan to look around, almost fleeing from where they were seated,“What is it, Stefan?” Cecil asked as she jumped out of the chair and her skin, glaring at Stefan who had startled them out of their lives.“We need to leave now!”He thundered, ignoring her question as he ran into the inner room to gather some things. “We need to leave right now!” He reiterated in a thunderous tone once more as he noticed that Cecil and her son stood in the living room frozen, “But.. but.” Cecil stammered as she watched him run around the house, trying to gather his things as though a rapture was approaching. “But what woman?!” he yelled at her.“You are not saying anything, Stefan; why the rush?” She asked him in a high-pitched tone as she stood there looking with furrowed brows, her eyes darting between him and the things
