I need you to do something for me.”“Dylan, you know I'm not your bodyguard anymore. Your threats have been eradicated.” Princess Mane told him.“Yeah, yeah, I know. I just need you to buy me a car. For some reason I have so many things to do that I don't have the time to get a new car.”“Ugh, Dylan, now you're turning me to your errand girl?” Princess Mane whined.Dylan shrugged and answered, “You know what happened to my last one. It didn't survive like we did. Just get it for me, thank you. A good one. An Aston Martin will do this time.”Princess Mane groaned in annoyance. “Whatever.

Dylan stood in the center of the Red's Wing gun range, a sleek, modern space with shiny black floors and gleaming steel walls. The sound of gunshots echoed through the air as he loaded his handgun, the weight of the weapon heavy in his hand. He took aim at the target, his eyes focused on the bullseye in front of him.He squeezed the trigger and felt the recoil of the gun, watching as the bullet hit its mark with a satisfying thud.“Wow. That was good!” Azure King remarked.Dylan took a deep breath and fired again, the sharp smell of gunpowder filling his nostrils. As he continued to shoot, his mind emptied of everything except the task at hand.“So this girl, Dylan, what's your deal with her?” Azure King as he also shoots his target.Dylan glanced at him and answered, “I'm not really sure. I know she likes me though.”“And what are you waiting for?! Take her, man! This is rare and it just seems to be that you've hit the jackpot! If this girl accepts you for who you are, then you're in

“I want the land," Hermione said firmly and looked at Dylan with a raised eyebrow and a smirk on her face. “Half of it.”Dylan looked at her and his face curved up into a sneer. He chuckled and decided to try and reason with her "Hermione, you know the land is not yours but mine. It came from my hard-earned money.”Madame Sharon glared at him, realizing how smart her daughter was to ask for the land.

At the Harper’s villa, they all returned home, all lost in deep thoughts. Hermione was in disbelief that she has finally ended it with Dylan, it was like her old prayers came true, except that they were no longer what she wanted.But Madame Sharon’s was different. What was taking over her thoughts was the message she received about having forty eight hours to live. Was that a drill, or was it actual? It scared her to think too much about it.If care is not taken, she could die of a heart attack or stroke like Gregory Clifford.She dragged her leg toward one of the sofas and sat down with a loud sigh. She was being threatened and she didn't know what to do about it.She couldn't even go to the cops cause they might ask why someone was sending her such a message and she can't exactly say it is because she was involved in the death of Ravenna Hastings or the ghost of Ravenna Hastings has been haunting her, even almost killing her one time after trapping her in a warehouse.Gosh, that day

Dylan drove Maya home in his sleek Aston Martin, a smile lingering on his face as he replayed the moment Allison accepted his invitation for a date. A sense of anticipation filled the air, intertwining with the joy of spending time with her outside the realms of their usual encounters.He was interested in where their relationship would take them, or if it is gonna, unfortunately, end like all his other relationships.Although he doubted that.If this ends, then it means being in relationships was never meant for him However, his blissful thoughts were abruptly interrupted as he started perceiving something amiss in the car. At first, it was a faint scent that tickled his nose, causing him to furrow his brows in confusion. “What the hell?” He muttered to himself with a frown on his face.As he continued to drive, the scent grew stronger, and his senses heightened.Plumes of smoke began to fill the interior of the car, swirling around him in a disorienting haze.

Each passing second felt like an eternity as he navigated the streets, his heart pounding in his chest. Finally, he arrived at the nearest police station, his breath heavy and his voice quivering as he approached the officers."I... I need help," Dylan stammered, his eyes filled with anguish. "My daughter, Maya... she's been kidnapped. It happened so fast, I couldn't do anything."
