"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 Melissa, he just wanted to make friends with us… indirectly."
"He knows that we are becoming influential by the day and could one day pose a deadly threat to him and his enterprises if he doesn't take time."
"I also think he has heard of our intending friendship with the top elites of Westerville and he thinks he can lobby himself to get favor from us in the future."
"It's a great move and that is why I'm keeping these gifts."
"It was meant for us, Lord George Lucas just presented it indirectly."
Her voice was laced with authority as she spoke, she was ruling her household with an iron grip, and she was literally the Iron Lady of the Stevens.
The meeting was over quickly and Eunice walked up to her grandmother.
"We can still attend the grand general's wedding right?"
"Definitely!"
She replied immediately as they walked down the hallway.
"What of Melissa and the weirdo Max?"
Eunice Stevens asked as she spinned the keys of the $7,000,000 worth Bugatti Mistral on her finger.
"I hope they come."
"Because I have something coming for that imbecile called Max."
Lady Megan Stevens said as she and Eunice laughed maniacally.
Meanwhile at Melissa's home, Max, Melissa, Chloe Maxwell and Mrs Sophia Stevens had just walked into the house.
"And where do you think you are going?!"
Mrs Sophia's voice was laced with anger as she stood by the door and prevented Max from moving further into the house.
"Max, you are the one who brought us all this shame and humiliation!"
"But I don't blame you, I blame my daughter who chose you over her grandmother's wish."
"How can we ever get out of this shackles of shame?"
Mrs Sophia yelled as she held Max by his shirt.
"Mrs Sophia, I promise I will make it all up to Melissa and my daughter."
Max Xanderson's voice was laced with determination and reassurance.
"And how are you going to do that? You wretched man!"
"Just tell me, how do you intend helping myself and my daughter rise back to the top of the food chain?"
"My husband, Walter Stevens is dead all because of you!"
"Our family company, the Walters Enterprise was taken away by Lady Megan Stevens also because of you dumbass!"
"Max, you are the last person I can trust to ever change the story of my family!"
"Speaking of failures, you haven't even told me where you left your wife and disappeared to!"
The situation was intense and palpable as Mrs Sophia Stevens took this opportunity to vent all her anger of Max Xanderson.
"Max just step outside for now."
"Let's give mom some time to cool off, I think part of all this anger is from what Lady Megan Stevens just did at the Stevens fort."
Melissa Stevens voice was barely above whispers yet laced with reason.
"Alright, I will be outside for now."
Max Xanderson said as he opened the door, shook his head and walked out the door.
Immediately after banging the door, his phone rang out loudly.
"Why is Jack Oniels calling me by this time of the day?"
"Hello Jack I hope you have some good news for me?"
"General Cobra claw, the Xanderson's have invited you to a dinner tonight."
"They sent in a check of $3,000,000,000 and begs to have you grace their Villa tonight."
"They promise it will be a great night for you."
"They also sent a new Rolls Royce and some presents worth over $3,000,000."
"That's not all, they promised to send in more gifts and luxury artefacts should you decide to come tonight."
"What is your response General Cobra claw?"
Jack Oniels voice barely above whispers as he expected a answer.
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
Stepping outside immediately, Mr Alan Marklarryson walked over to the line and handed Melissa Stevens the VVIP invitation."Sorry ma'am, here you go.""This was supposed to be delivered to your house, but it seems as though it was hijacked by some hoodlums."His voice was laced with determination and apology as they all stared at Lady Megan Stevens, Eunice and Denise Stevens as the security team led them out of the main event centre.Everyone was surprised as to why the leader of the Top 4 elite families was talking to Melissa Stevens in such a respectful manner.Melissa Stevens stared at him in bewilderment, his gaze was laced with confusion and surprise."I'm so sorry why…""You don't need to explain or ask further questions, just accept my humble apologies.""Just take the card and get your family inside the groom is actually on his way as we speak."His voice was barely above whispers as he stared at Max Xanderson who was standing behind them all this while pretending to not be th
"What the hell!!!""This can't be happening?!""Isn't this the poor son-in-law of the Stevens?!"The voices from the crowd rose above each other."Step aside, coming through!"Lady Megan Stevens' voice was vehement as she and her granddaughters, Eunice and Denise Stevens raced through the crowd to get a better view of what was really happening."What the heck?!""Grandma this can't be happening.""There is just no way this can be real.""My eyes are definitely deceiving me."Lady Megan Stevens, Eunice and Denise stared at Max Xanderson step out of the Limousine in his Armani Tuxedo.His hair was perfectly styled, and his demeanour exuded confidence and authority."Max, the seemingly unremarkable son-in-law of the Stevens family is the grand general whose wedding everyone had gathered to witness.""This is just so unbelievable.""What a twist of fate."The crowd continued rumbling as everyone stared at Max Xanderson.The ladies couldn't resist his charm, his second in command, Jack Oni
Immediately General Stan whistled as if the whole place was quiet and the fog lights of a military-grade van all-terrain vehicle (ATV) immediately flooded the direction of Max Xanderson and General Stan.“You brought the supreme Elite Forces military team into a sacred cemetery.”“This is totally unacceptable General Stan, you shouldn't have pulled in the Supreme Elite Forces into my location, especially not here in the Westerville local cemetery.”Max Xanderson's voice was laced with a mixture of bewilderment and curiosity as he stared at General Stan almost immediately expecting an answer as he asked him the question.General Stan immediately laughed a bit and shook his head, slowly he signalled again and about two of the military men immediately matched forward, as they approached the light Max Xanderson immediately saw that one of them was actually Jack Oniels.Max Xanderson immediately raced towards Jack Oniels and the two of them immediately hugged each other.“It's been just a
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
