A day had passed and in that time Zara had received several text messages and calls from her former lover Nathaniel Black. She had told Lucius and the rest of the family, even her own, of every text or call Nathaniel ever sent to her. Just like they had done when she first told them, the family had
"Is it true?""Is that true?" Nathaniel asked."Is it true that you're in the Mafia or cartel or whatever illegal group it is? Are you the guy I fell in love with or were you to me all this time?" Nathaniel took a step forward causing Zara to take one back. She gave him a look that told him she wan
As Nathaniel left the office, the faint but sure cacophony of him causing trouble and disrupting the environment flooded Lucius' ears causing him to scowl at no one in particular. After some time, the noise subsided allowing Lucius to calm his tensed shoulders and focus on some other important thing
Luicus shielded himself as gunfire was exchanged and men lost their lives. Earlier this week he had almost been killed by his ex family and now people were trying to take his life in a gunfight. What was with everyone and just going straight to murdering him? As Lucius thought on all the possibiliti
Lucius went back to his home after the massacre that Nathaniel had brought to his place of work, after the sirens filled the air as police officers arrived on the scene, after the last man standing of the opposition was atken into custody and after Lucius had been interrogated by the officers on sce
Lucius gave his father a certain look. "He did and unfortunately for him I'm not one to back down from a fight. Nathaniel crossed me and the family and he will pay for it."Lucius turned to Zara."I know that you might still harbour some kind of twisted feelings about him but as of today, put those
Lucius took the seat that was offered to him by the unknown woman. He sat on the chair, a bit relaxed but aware of his surroundings nonetheless. He didn't bother looking around and asked the woman a question."Who are you?"The woman shurgged and stood up. She walked over to her mini bar, picked up
"That's what I came here for actually. As I mentioned before, your son tried to kill me. In fact, he killed several of my employees aty company building and I'm here seeing retribution.""Retribution for what? As far as I can tell you have nothing to tie him to the attack. You didn't see him did you
••••• After Zara spoke up about what she went through in Estelle and Jack’s hands, it didn’t take much to sway the court on who was the real villain in this story. A ghost had come back and given them their verdict from beyond the grave and that was enough for the jury and the awed people in and o
The day everyone was waiting for had arrived. The court case between the Cabots and the Steele’s. The courtroom was packed with reporters, spectators, and lawyers. Everyone who was interested in this case either showed up at the court room, camped outside or even watched it closely on their televisi
“Like you said. Former members. Those men heard of my job opening and showed up. They wanted to redeem themselves. Turn a new leaf for the good of society and there you came in guns blazing and killing them.” Callum gave her a mocking face of understanding. “Oh, so when we rushed into the buildi
The car ride back to the precinct was one of quiet and self-fulfillment for some but for those who were stuck with Estelle Cabot in the back of their vehicle, the ride was akin to being thrown into the pit of darkness with a banshee as she would not stop screaming and whining all the way to where sh
“I did everything for you, and this is how you repay me? By recording me and doing God knows what with it.” Lucius opened his mouth, but nothing came out. “Did you go to the police? Did you show anyone these recordings?” Lucius froze. Speaking of the police, where the hell were they when he ne
Lucius couldn’t utter a word as his hands were raised to the sky and he was being pushed along with a gun to the back of his head. He frowned as Estelle’s shocked and confused fac came into view and the man with the haggard voice he caught on his phone glared at him. “Look what I found.” The man b
“It wouldn't concern me either if not for the fact that men with tattoos that I've clearly seen on the news as Black Serpent defectives are walking in with her at this moment.”Lucius shot up from the bed. The Black Serpents again. He thought he had gotten rid of them once and for all when he had Al
It had been a few days before Lucius had gotten consecutive calls on his phone that Callim brought back to him, from both Estelle and Gregory but each on different topics.Gregory's call had a lopsided effect on Lucius as he had sounded different over the phone, no doubt because of what he had found
"That's wonderful, Gregory. I'm happy for you," Lucius lied. "You two make a perfect couple." Gregory smiled and thanked him. He ordered a glass of wine and asked Lucius what he wanted. "I'll have water, thank you. I'm not here to drink, Gregory. I'm here to talk." Lucius spoke, his demeanor bec
