Just as Eric finished speaking, one of his men's voice came through their receiver. His voice was raspy as he took deep breaths. "Sir, we need backup in here ASAP."Lucius went closer to the receiver to hear what the man was saying more clearly. Eric spoke.“Hal, tell me what's going on."“Larson a
He moved in slowly making sure not to return any fire that came his way so that Nathaniel wouldn't realize that someone was at his back and also ensuring that no one really took any notice of him. His stealth paid of as he successfully reached the truck Nathaniel and Zara hid behind.There they were
As one relevant gunshot resounded in the large warehouse, a body dropped and blood spilled all over. One of them had fallen. One of them had failed. One of them had won. As Nathaniel laid on the ground withering in pain due to the gunshot wound in his right shoulder that removed the gun in his hand
He opened the door for Zara to enter and shut it gently behind her, making sure that she was not privy to the information that could potentially put her on edge. Even though Alexandra was still out there and possibly planning her revenge, he would make sure that he was ready. He wouldn't treat her t
Lucius didn't sleep a wink till the next day when the sun came out and its rays filled his room. He sat on the floor next to his bed, alone in his room staring at the abomination he had received. The bloody red box still sat on the balcony, a swarm of flies beginning to perch on the remains.Lucius
James shook his head.“That can't be. I personally vetted every staff member in this house. They wouldn't do such a thing.”“You never know James. The heart of men is evil. Even when they're good it takes one little word to turn them into hideous versions of themselves.” Ben insisted.Lucius butted
It had been a month since Lucius received the sinister gift from who he suspected to be Alexandra. There had been no movement from her since then and the police had not been able to come up with her whereabouts. Even Layla couldn’t hack the public servers enough to find her. Lucius had recruited all
Lucius’ car drove faster and quicker into the night successfully losing the jeep that had murderous intent. Lucius thought to himself that they had survived the night and escaped the maniacs. Even though he had no idea who it could be he had an inkling it was Alexandra back for revenge and with his
••••• 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
