Stefan parked the car in front of the apartment and walked right into the house, ignoring Cecil and her children, who were in the car. Louisa got out of the car sluggishly and opened the door for her mother, she knew she was going through an emotional breakdown at the moment so she tried to give her a support system,She tried to help her mother get out of the car but Cecil turned against her immediately, “Get off me!” Cecil snarled at Louisa, and rolled her eyes at Louisa,“Get your filthy hands off me!” She thundered at her and stormed out of the car,“You stood there and watched that idiot put his hands on me, and you are here trying to help me out of a fucking car.” Cecil snapped, jabbing her finger into their faces,Louisa stared at her mother; her actions had left her with widened eyes and mouth, almost faltering on their feet; she couldn't believe she was now showering her aggression on them; her mother’s attitude could never cease to amaze them.Logan was unfazed by her acti
“Adam fucking Sanders!” Stefan nearly screamed in response and kissed his teeth, almost snarling at Cecil while she went completely still, staring at nothing in particular. Her brain refused to process that Adam had handled him, causing him to flee the country,“What do you mean by Adam?” She asked with scorn and adjusted herself on the floor where she was sitting,“That loser.” She yelled pointing in the direction of the door, as though Adam was standing right there,“You call that man a loser?”Stefan asked her with a scoff and burst into loud and resounding laughter, he could not believe how ridiculous Cecil sounded for thinking that Adam was a loser,“You dare call that man a loser?” He reiterated and continued his laughter,“It is obvious that you have no idea who he is and what he is capable of doing to you all,” he said as he raised his gaze at Louisa and her brother who had been standing in a corner and staring at the entire situation.“What could that loser possibly do?” Cec
Adam had gotten dressed in a jiffy and driven alongside Old Man Thompson and Sage Robinson to the basement as soon as the information about the attack on their basement was passed to them.The old man had insisted on going with them as he passed the information to him and they drove as fast as possible to the basement with Dreymond driving right behind them. They were all headed to the basement, completely prepared for war. They got to the basement and drove in; immediately, Adam got out of the car. He was too anxious to know who had the guts to infiltrate his basement.“I doubt the mafias would be behind this attack.” The old man had said during the drive to the basement,“Why do you say so?” Adam asked Old Man Thompson as he wondered who could have been the enemy they had that would be powerful enough to infiltrate the basement.“They have lost too much to be launching another attack too soon.” The old man replied and Sage Robinson who was driving, nodded affirmatively, agreeing w
“Speak!” Odious commanded, landing another slap on Williams's face, his cheek was now like one that had a tennis ball stuck in it,“I do not know what you are talking about.” Williams answered with a shaky voice, his voice sounding alien to him as it was now muffled. The blow had done a number on him,“Cecil and Louisa.” Adam helped to mention them, and Williams snapped his head up albeit painfully to gape at a smirking Adam,“And of course, Olivia Monae.” He added, and Williams lowered his gaze; he no longer had words for Adams as it was obvious that he knew everything. “I have no idea.” Williams managed to say, as he was trying to avoid another terrifying blow from Odious.Raul who had taken Leila and Ariel back home, came back in a hurry and stormed into the torture room, hot on his heel and panting heavily,As he did, he saw Adam pacing the floor, and his eyes darted around the room, before they settled their victim, which had him stumbling backwards,“Williams” He called ou
Dreymond stared at Adam, wondering why he was leaving such a crucial task to some others, the worst of to some dirty cops, who could go back and stab them at the back. No one made an objection, and it irked him, without delay, he cleared his throat and spoke up,“Why would you leave such a crucial task to a dirty cop?” He asked Adam as he sat back on the couch without moving his eyes an inch away from Adam, crossing his arms to his chest,“These cops can be bought,” Dreymond exclaimed and sneered, but before he could go on, Adam interjected him,“Not Olsen.” Adam replied, looking straight at Dreymond, “Not General Olsen.” He repeated and turned to Raul,Adam knew what he was doing; he knew that the border was not a place to wage war. It was a delicate place, and he would rather handle it the best way he could, which was to let General Olsen handle it; he was to be trusted as he had proven himself a worthy ally.Fighting at the border could endanger the country’s territory as enemie
Cecil sat on the floor, still staring at Stefan, who was also staring at her with his mouth agape. He had a mix of emotions coursing through him as he stared at her, his eyes were so bulged that they almost touched his eyebrows,He could not believe that Cecil had been messing with Adam Sanders and she was comfortably sitting right in front of him. Cecil could tell that he was having multiple emotions at the same time as his body language began to fluctuate, he went from blinking rapidly to gaping with his mouth opening and closing,“Do you have any idea of what you have gotten yourselves into?” He asked them as he stood up from the chair and began to walk around the room with sweaty palms,“Do you know what you are in for?” He asked them, raising his voice, and snapped his head at Cecil, then shook his head.He paced around the room as he thought of what to do; he knew Adam would be after these people, and now they were in his custody. He didn’t want to have anything to do with Adam
Stefan stopped in his tracks, unable to move an inch from his position. Louisa had hit the straw he had been avoiding and he was not going to let her do that. For a moment, he regretted the fact that he had stopped his car for them and wished he never did,“What did you say?” He asked her in a low tone, anger coursing through him as he approached her stealthily,Louisa snapped her head up to glare at him, “You heard what I said.” She said as she approached him, she loved the look on his face, it was obvious that he was scared and was never going to let her oust him,Cecil's eyes glowed and she nodded her head while staring at Louisa, she wouldn't let her beautiful daughter face the scoundrel alone,She glared at Stefan with a scowl on her face, ready to charge at him. She stepped right beside Louisa and glared intensely at Stefan,“Yes, Stefan!” Cecil began as she approached him,“One more move from you, and we oust you to Adam.” She said, nodding her head and stomping her foot, le
Cecil stood, watching Stefan pace around the room restlessly, she enjoyed the tension she was putting him through and she was not going to stop anytime soon, she loved him but he was an asshole, ‘Now I am ready to deal with your stupid ass.’ She mused as she continued watching him pace around the room. Louisa and Logan, who had been silent, stood as well, watching the entire scenario. Louisa surely wanted a part of the loot, after all, they were broke and left with nothing, but she didn't to run away from the country, She was looking forward to begging for forgiveness from Adam so that they could rekindle their marriage and she was going to go ahead with that plan, regardless of whatever her mother had to say. “Look, look.” Stefan finally spoke up, breaking the silence in the room and gaining everyone’s attention. “I know I have been a butthead,” he began as he had already mapped out a plan in his head, Several plans had clicked in his mind but he had to ditch them as
