The door was opened immediately only to reveal Captain Barnes, the feared captain in the whole of Westerville.
Eunice and his grandmother stared at each other in bewilderment.
Bryan and Logan had already been taken to the Stevens medical facility not far from the voyeur.
Everyone stared at Captain Barnes as he walked towards to meet them, the hallway leading to the voyeur was long.
"What do you think brings Captain Barnes to our Villa?"
Eunice Stevens' voice was barely above whispers as almost everyone fidgeted as the Captain got closer to them with his team members.
"I really don't know, I thought the guard said we were visited by Lord George Lucas?"
"I was thinking he has finally come to collect Max's balls for that of his son, Arnold Lucas."
"How is it they say it again? A ball for a ball."
"The moment this is over, I will fire that dweeb for misinformation."
Lady Megan Stevens voice was barely above whispers as she only managed to not fidget as the others.
Staring at Max, he was still unperturbed.
'Who does this Max really think he is?'
Lady Megan Stevens' thoughts went on rampage as she wondered why Max was rather undisturbed at the moment.
"Good day Captain Barnes…it's a pleasure to have you here."
"What brings a respected and busy man like you to our renowned Stevens Fort?"
Lady Megan Stevens gathered the courage to ask as she was in charge whenever Lord Dylan Stevens was away.
Captain Barnes immediately stared at her and moved his gaze around and as his gaze fell upon Max Xanderson, he shuddered a bit.
Clapping his hand twice, some of his team members wheeled in Lord George Lucas in a wheelchair.
The whole room went up in low voices as they whispered amongst themselves.
"Max Xanderson did this to him."
"You should have seen his son Arnold, his balls are really gone."
"The doctors are saying his balls really can't be repaired again."
The voices were low but loud enough to be heard by Captain Barnes and Max Xanderson.
"Lord George Lucas is here to…"
Captain Barnes stopped immediately as he gazed upon the customized VIP invitation he had just delivered to Max Xanderson lying on the floor next to Lady Megan's feet.
"What is the only VVIP invitation for the grand general's wedding doing lying on the floor?!"
His voice was vehement and laced with anger, he immediately removed his dark shades and walked towards a shocked and fidgeting Lady Megan Stevens.
"What are you talking about…my Captain?"
"This ain't no VVIP invitation, it's a prank that my grandmother pulled off on me…"
"Silence!!!"
The voice of Captain Barnes immediately echoed through the voyeur sending the chills down everyone's spine except for Max Xanderson.
"Who did this?!"
"This invitation card is the only VVIP invitation for the grand general's wedding."
"This invitation is worth over two billion dollars and you people dared to mess around with it!"
Captain Barnes's fist clenched in vexation as he bent over and retrieved the invitation from the feet of Lady Megan Stevens.
"What I want to know is, what threw this invitation card to the floor?!"
He yelled stomping his military boots on the floor, the brown Danish tiles immediately cracked under his feet sending more trepidation across everyone in the voyeur.
"Whoever did this will face the full wrath of the Xanderson's!"
"That is a promise and I don't go back on my word."
His eyebrows furrowed in curiosity and shock, his face was etched with total determination.
"Please Captain Barnes, it was me…I really thought Melissa had brought me a fake invitation."
"I'm really sorry…please don't tell Lord Xanderson about this."
"Please pardon us, we don't want to end up like the Jasons family."
Eunice Stevens' voice was laced with trepidation as she knelt by her grandmother and pleaded for mercy.
The situation was intense and palpable, Captain Barnes immediately darted his gaze at Max Xanderson who immediately nodded his head, signaling to him to let the issue slide.
"Lady Megan Stevens I'm only letting you and your family off the hook because of someone very important in your midst."
His voice was laced with authority as he spoke, his hands holding the handle of his desert eagle shotgun.
Lady Megan Stevens and her family immediately thank Captain Barnes.
"Eunice, who do you think Captain Barnes is talking about?"
Lady Megan Stevens' voice was barely above whispers as she asked her daughter.
"Grandma I really don't know."
Walking over to meet and sympathize with Lord George Lucas, Lady Megan Stevens asked him a question.
"Are you here to take the b*stard that almost killed you and your sons?"
Her voice was laced with anger as she boiled red in fury as she gazed upon Max Xanderson.
She was still angry and really wanted to pay Max for nearly obliterating her grandsons.
"No Lady Megan."
"I'm actually here to apologize for everything that I and my sons have done to your granddaughter, Melissa."
His voice was laced with humility as he rejected the aid from the guard who wheeled his wheelchair and wheeled himself towards Melissa slowly.
Lady Megan Stevens, Eunice and the rest of her family stared at the whole thing in bewilderment.
Their jaws dropped in surprise as Lord George got up slowly and knelt before Melissa.
"What the hell…"
"Is this supposed to be some prank or what?"
The voice of Lady Megan Stevens was laced bewilderment and curiosity as she walked in to stop Lord George Lucas from kneeling."Lord George, are you drunk or something?""What do you mean you came to apologize to Melissa?!""You should be more concerned about your ball-less son!""You should be taking revenge on her and her stupid husband, Max!"Her voice was laced with venom and hatred as she spoke.Lord George Lucas stared at her and shook his head in disappointment.'Clearly, she doesn't know who her son-in-law is yet.'"Lady Megan, you are yet to drink from the wrath of the great one, I get why you wouldn't understand why I'm doing this."Lord George Lucas whispered into the ears of Lady Megan, his heart thumping loudly as his gaze fixated on Max Xanderson."Melissa I'm kneeling here today and publicly asking that you forgive my family, especially my son Arnold for everything he has done to you."As Lord George Lucas pleaded, Martins Lucas, his second son ran in and joined his dad
"Guards!!!... pack up all these items and set them in the family's mini museum.""As for you Melissa, take your ranting mother and the rest of your family members out of my Villa now!"Her voice was vehement as she stamped her walking stick on the floor sending trepidation across everyone in the room.As Max, Melissa, Chloe and her mom were about to leave the door, Eunice immediately snatched the keys of the Bugatti Mistral from Melissa."You can't have that either, it belongs to us now…bye bye."Her voice was laced with disdain, Max Xanderson wished he would slap the hell out of the spoiled brat."C'mon let's just go. "Max Xanderson said as he pulled a stunted Melissa out of the villa, she immediately dabbed her eyes as they left.Moments later, Lady Megan Stevens is addressing her people in the Stevens villa."Listen up everyone, I don't want any of you to be deceived by what Lord George Lucas pulled out here.""He is clearly afraid of us, the Stevens, and not that wretched Meliss
Max Xanderson froze immediately to the spot, the Xanderson's was a name that he hadn't heard in years.As he stared into the darkened sky above, memories of his uncle Jeremy Xanderson plunging a sharp Katana sword straight through his mom's heart reeled through his mind like a pro-edited video.Memories of how he had wanted to swim back and save his mom from his uncle but was shot at raced through his mind making him bite his lips and clench his fist in vexation.Max Xanderson's thoughts raced as Jack Oniels waited patiently."General…what should I tell the Xandersons?"Jack Oniels asked again, his voice was barely above whispers."Tell them that I will grace his Vila tonight."His voice was barely above whispers yet laced with authority."Okay,Grand general, I will be leaving now."The messenger happily went away to deliver the best news to Jeremy Xanderson."I will be there, but to annihilate everyone."Max Xanderson whispered to himself as he dropped the call, his heart heaving up
"Someone answer me right away right before I lose my temper!"Lord Larry yelled immediately.The situation was intense and palpable as everyone stared at Max Xanderson as though they had seen a ghost."He is probably a ghost, Lord Larry, I'm very sure that he is supposed to be dead.""The moment I plunged my sword right through Sharon, he tried swimming back to save his mom and my men shot at him.""They even staged a search party along the Blueberg River and confirmed his death.""At this point, Lord Larry Harold, I'm as confused as you."Jeremy Xanderson's voice was barely above whispers as his frightened face stared at Max who was now almost close to them."Where did he get that Katana from?...it sure does look familiar."Jeremy Xanderson added as he fidgeted.The clanging sound of Max Xanderson's sword added to the intensity of the moment."Okay, I have had enough!""Max stop right there!"Lord Larry Harold yelled and immediately walked forward to meet Max Xanderson, followed up b
Moments later as the Xandersons were still busy trying to set up the venue, a messenger came immediately and handed Jeremy Xanderson his phone."Sir, this is important and urgent."The messenger's voice was barely above whispers as he handed the phoneover to Jeremy Xanderson."Wait!... what!""Why would he cancel his invitation and send our gifts back to us?"Jeremy Xanderson's voice was vehement as he stared into the confused face ofLord Larry Harold."What is going on Jeremy?!"Lord Larry Harold asked immediately, his face was etched with a mixture ofconfusion and anxiety."The grand general just canceled the meeting with us.""Apparently he heard what Max just did and decided we weren't worth itanymore.""No!!!"Lord Larry Harold yelled immediately as he fell to his knees.He had planned how he would increase his influence throughout the countryas soon as they could get the grand general on their side."This can't be happening!""We have come too far for this to happen!""Isn't
Finally, it was the day of the wedding of the mysterious yet powerful grand general.The whole country was on the move to Timeless Haven in Westerville.The whole radio and television announcement was about the wedding.Everyone was excited and ready to get into the venue.The streets were littered with all sorts of military decorations and parades.The wedding had caused a huge sensation in the whole country.Above the sky were military jets performing their air parade and colourful sky events.The scene was just too wonderful to behold."I really wished I was the one who had found the heart of the grand general.""Me too!"The voices of beautiful ladies walking down the street and admiring the whole event were vehement.All the hotels in Westerville and the neighbouring towns were booked and opened for the attendees of the grand wedding.Presidents and heads of state had all flown in from different countries just to grace this event."But who could this lucky girl be?""I really don'
As soon as they got into the venue, the main event was almost about to get started.At the table nearby was seated Lord George Lucas with his entourage.Everyone seemed excited to meet this mystery grand general and his beloved wife but he was rather not surprised."Lord George Lucas, I have noticed that you look unimpressed by this whole event.""Why is that?""Why are you not excited to see the grand general and his wife?"Alex Dwayne asked Lord George Lucas, his voice was barely above whispers due to the background noise coming from the attendees."It's nothing, I'm as excited as you all, I just don't like showing my excitement in public."Lord George Lucas said as he stared at one of the waitresses and signaled her to hand him a glass of champagne.'I'm really glad I had apologized to Melissa Stevens, the grand general's wife before today…if not I would have probably been annihilated and I wouldn't be present for this grand occasion.'His thoughts went on a rampage as he sat and wa
"It's a good thing we came to this event.""Eunice, you are really getting old and I don't even know if Clark Anderson is still interested in marrying you, use this opportunity to find yourself a good suitor…and make sure he is from any of the Elite families."Lady Megan Stevens' voice was barely above whispers as they sat down among other esteemed guests and enjoyed the front-row view of the main event.Immediately Denise's gaze fell on Max Xanderson, Melissa, Chloe and Mrs Sophia."Grandma! Look, the slum princess and his dumbass husband are on the line about to enter the venue."Her voice was laced with anger and her gaze was reeking with derision."How did they even get past gate two?!"Lady Megan Stevens yelled as they all stared at Max, Melissa and her family from the glass barrier.Standing in front of the male attendant, Max, Melissa and her family were stopped."Madam…please step aside, your name is on the list under the Top Elite section but just some minutes ago we passed L
The security guard said as he immediately plopped into his seat and slowly went back to his deep sleep.Without waiting for further acknowledgement, Max Xanderson seized the shovel and stormed back toward his mom's gravestone.His movements were swift and purposeful, his rage evident in every step.As he reached the grave, he dropped to his knees, launching the shovel into the damp earth with a force that sent dirt flying up everywhere.Max Xanderson dug with relentless speed, his muscles straining with each scoop.The hole grew deeper, and his breaths came harder, but he didn’t pause.Minutes later, Max Xanderson stopped. He stood over the hole, his chest heaving, and cast a glance at his mother’s tombstone. “Mom, hang on tight. I’ll make sure every piece of these men stays buried here, beneath your feet, where they all belong.”“They were all ruthless and senseless when they plotted and launched the attack against you and I plan to pay back every single one of them in their own coi
The situation was intense and palpable as Max Xanderson continued his pain-filled words, holding his uncle Jeremy Xanderson’s severed arm aloft, blood dripping onto the grave.“Mom, I have here the arm of the man who plunged his katana right through you, sending you to the great beyond.”“If my uncle, Jeremy Xanderson thought that he would kill you and have peace, then he would be making the current joke of the season.”“No one kills my mom, and goes scott-free, this is just a preamble of the terror that I'm going to level on the whole of the Xanderson for the things that they did to your mom.”Max Xanderson's voice was laced with a mixture of authority and determination.“I just took out Lord Larry Harold, he was also one of the persons who I believe plotted to have you assassinated if he isn't the main mastermind.”“Taking him out was the best part, I only spared Uncle Jeremy Xanderson because of his children, Scarlett, Gary and Debra Jeremy.”“But Mom, I promise there won't be any
It's now three days since the little fallout of Max Xanderson with Mrs Sophia Stevens, his mother-in-law.Max Xanderson is standing by the grave of his mom, Mrs Sharon Xanderson, memories of how he and his mom had a good life flooded his mind like a well-edited video.“Mom, I'm here now!”Max Xanderson said coldly, his voice laced with a mixture of authority, determination and anger.He slowly dropped a black cooler to the floor near his mom's grave.Looking around, Max Xanderson quickly noticed three men who were somewhat staring at him.Just as his eyes darted towards the three men, they all slowly left the Westerville local cemetery.Max Xanderson slowly knelt by his mom's grave and began to slowly weep, his tears dropping slowly onto his mom's grave.“Mom, I promised that all those who ever had anything to do with your assassination and my attempted murder will all pay dearly.”“They all will pay dearly for everything that they have done to us and me.”“Mom, they shamelessly took
“Mrs Sophia Stevens, Jack Oniels isn't available at the moment, he had to go run an errand for the boss himself.”Max Xanderson said almost immediately as he maintained a steady eye contact with Mrs Sophia Stevens.“He went to run an errand for the boss, can you really hear yourself Max Xanderson?”Mrs Sophia Stevens asked immediately, her voice was laced with a little mix of anger and sarcasm.Max Xanderson slowly turned and looked the other way.Melissa Stevens was already tired of talking and this time around, instead of talking, she only stared at her mom as she continued attacking Max Xanderson in a way.Mrs Sophia Stevens immediately and had her gaze at her daughter, Melissa Stevens and that of little Chloe Maxwell, her granddaughter.“Melissa, I know you might be mad at me at the moment but believe me I'm doing all this to protect you and little Chloe Maxwell.”“I have a feeling that Max Xanderson, your husband, had actually angered some high entities in the Westerville societ
Melissa Stevens immediately said, her voice was laced with a mixture of determination and reassurance for Max Xanderson.Little Chloe Maxwell, who had been quietly observing the adults with wide, curious eyes, finally spoke up. “Granny,” little Chloe Maxwell said in a small voice.“Daddy, Max Xanderson, wouldn’t do anything bad... right?”Her innocent question carried an undercurrent of doubt, making the tension in the room even thicker.Max Xanderson turned to his daughter Chloe Maxwell, forcing a reassuring smile despite the growing unease inside him. “Of course not, sweetheart. I’d never hurt anyone or hide something this serious.”Max Xanderson said, his voice laced with a mixture of determination, emotions and reassurance as he smiled gleefully at his daughter, little Chloe Maxwell.Mrs Sophia Stevens, however, wasn’t ready to let the matter drop. “Then explain the smirk I saw earlier, Max Xanderson!”“Was it a relief? Satisfaction? What was it?”Mrs Sophia Steven's voice was
“Mom, we are waiting for you to say something already.”“I really don't like where this is going at the moment, we have had a weird and frightening day already, can we please have our dinner in one piece.”The situation was intense and palpable as Melissa Stevens stared at Max Xanderson and her mom, Mrs Sharon Xanderson.Mrs Sophia Stevens was a bit hesitant, she didn't want to say much to offset the peace that they had just gotten after the surprise knock on their front door earlier.“Mom, can you please clarify for us!”“What is actually going on here, do you think that Max Xanderson, my husband, is in any way connected to the recent happenings at the Xanderson family villa?”“Mom, if you know anything, you can just say it…please.”“Please Mom, just say it and let's get this over with already Mom.”Melissa Stevens urged, her voice trembling slightly as the tension in the room became a bit too unbearable.Her hands rested on the table, fingers tapping nervously against the polished w
Max Xanderson slowly moved towards the table and moments later, they were all seated by the table and enjoyed their meals.Just then, Mrs Sophia Stevens immediately grabbed the television remote and turned it on, the channel was turned on to the Westerville local news.The news channel was talking about the recent events that had just happened at the Xanderson family villa.The situation was intense and palpable as the news reporters talked about how the Xanderson family villa was raided by some unknown men from an unknown destination.Max Xanderson slowly gazed at his food, he was clearly hoping that the Xandersons hadn't in any way called out his name and that of Jack Oniels to be the ones who had stormed the Xanderson's family and attacked Mr Jeremy Xanderson and killed Lord Larry Harold.It just seemed as if luck was on the side of Max Xanderson as the news reporter made all her reports but didn't say a thing about Max Xanderson and Jack Oniels being the ones who had stormed the X
Now outside Max Xanderson is walking around with the flashlight still in his hand, he immediately turned as though he had seen something walk past him very fast.“Who is that?!”Max Xanderson immediately asked, his voice was laced with a mixture of authority and determination.Turning around again, he saw no one in the direction he had just stared at.The situation was intense and palpable as Max Xanderson walked around the whole building with his military grade flashlight and fully loaded desert eagle in his hand.Taking a deep breath, Max Xanderson immediately turned and decided to go back inside the house.Walking back towards the door, he slowly felt something wrong with the ambiance of the entire place.“Who is there for the last time, don't force my hand to take you out of this existence immediately!”Max Xanderson said as he immediately walked towards the direction of the noise.Slowly he kicked off the waste bin lid in front of him and a wild kitten just raced away, almost mak
Mrs Sophia Stevens immediately took a deep breath and plopped into the chair behind her.“Little Chloe Maxwell, I know that your dad promised that he would be back and I totally believe it even more than you and your mom.”“I'm only trying to be a bit realistic with the recent happenings.”“There is every possibility of your dad not coming back…I'm not trying to scare you little Chloe Maxwell, I'm just trying to be a bit realistic with the odds of the whole situation.”“Look at it this way, what if those people are fully armed and dripping wet with heavy ammunition, do any of you think that Max Xanderson will stand a chance?!”Mrs Sophia Stevens asked almost immediately, her voice was laced with a mixture of anxiety and trepidation.She had not for once believed that Max Xanderson will definitely be back even after Max Xanderson had said that he would be back for them.“Mom, how can you say a thing like that?!”“Max Xanderson is my husband and he will definitely be back and I know th
