A mayor holds control over everything in the area under his responsibility. He can pressure the poor, the workers, or even a businessman with threats to revoke their permits.Felipe was well aware of his father’s power, so he became rather headstrong and acted high and mighty.“What’s the big deal if your father’s the mayor? Do you think I’m afraid of you?” Alex asked with wide-open eyes.“Don’t think just because your father is the mayor, you and I can’t make trouble in his jurisdiction!” Alex continued.Felipe swallowed hard. He could sense a certain intensity in Alex’s gaze. It could only arise from someone who had befriended violence for decades.“His jurisdiction? This is my father’s jurisdiction. Who are you, anyway? Are you a bouncer at the Bluemoon Club? My father could shut down this nightclub if I told him to, let alone you,” Felipe said.Christian picked up a half-full glass of wine and downed it in one gulp.Then he looked at Felipe with a piercing gaze.Slap!Bam!A slap
Christian rose from his seat and walked to the kitchen to get a drink. However, as he passed his mother-in-law’s room, he heard very familiar sounds that sent a shiver down his spine.It was the sound of lovemaking.“Is Camila doing this alone? Or with...,” he wondered, his thoughts drifting to Declan. The car parked quite a distance from the house and in the dark had triggered that thought. Especially since Declan had no friends in this neighborhood.With curiosity, Christian approached Camila’s room and pressed his ear against the door.“Ah... that’s it, Darling! Perfect!” Camila’s voice was unmistakable.“She’s not alone?” Christian thought as he kept his ear pressed to the door.“You really are cheap, but I like it. Your body is still great; I like it!”Christian jumped, nearly leaping away from the door after hearing that voice. He knew the man’s voice inside his mother-in-law’s room.“Declan?”Christian found it hard to believe.“How long have they been doing this madness? Is th
In this situation, Declan was the one most affected. His reputation in society and the consequences from his family for tarnishing the family’s name would pose a real threat to Declan if Christian decided to spread the evidence he had.Camila, too, was going to face a difficult situation. She was certainly going to face family repercussions and feel embarrassed in front of Yve. However, considering Camila was just a housewife and not young anymore, the long-term impact might not be as significant.“What plan should we take?” Camila asked.Declan shook his head and said, “Of course, we have to get rid of the evidence that Christian possesses. But as for how to do it, I’ll have to think it over. In the meantime, I’ll head home before the others wake up.”“But is Christian still outside, or has he gone home?” Declan inquired.“I think he’s gone home. I saw him heading to the living room earlier,” Camila replied.Declan nodded and said, “That’s good, then.”***Felipe returned home and we
Still recovering from his shock, Felipe had to endure the annoying greeting from Christian, which only served to infuriate him further.“You scoundrel! What are you doing here? I want to meet with Mr. Demetri, not a trash like you!” Felipe shouted.Christian merely laughed at Felipe’s outburst.“Don’t act all high and mighty! Pretending to be the boss, sitting there like you own the place! It doesn’t suit you at all!” Felipe continued, his face turning red.Afterward, Felipe turned to Dorota and said, “Why are you just standing there when there’s a stranger in Mr. Demetri’s room? Get rid of him and call Mr. Demetri here. I need to speak with him; it’s crucial for him if he wants his business to continue here. If he refuses to meet me, I’ll ask my father to revoke your company’s permits!”Felipe often resorted to such threats to intimidate his business rivals.“I’m sorry, Mr. Felipe, but Christian is Mr. Demetri. He is Christian Demetri,” Dorota explained.Bam!Felipe was stunned upon
At that moment, he immediately contacted someone.“I need you to execute a woman. Bring her to me alive!” Felipe said to someone on the other end of the call.***Felipe contemplated a horrifying revenge on Christian. He didn’t just want to bankrupt Christian and his family; he wanted to physically torture Christian and his wife until they begged for mercy.He always retaliated against his enemies with extreme cruelty and inflicted more pain than he received. This was one of the reasons why no one dared to challenge Felipe.The person Felipe contacted was the best he knew. The success rate of the missions performed by this person and his team was 100%, meaning they never failed.The man’s name was Noval. A retired special forces military man who had transitioned into a contract killer.When he acted, not even a Darrell could stand a chance against him.Noval possessed immense strength and, more importantly, he was ice-cold in demeanor.“What will I get if I do it?” Noval asked.Felipe
Using her car, Yve drove to the company where her husband worked. On the way, her heart and mind were boiling, ready to explode.And how could they not be? Christian’s actions had caused two problems for Yve.The first, of course, was the revocation of the license for her recently established company. Yve had invested a considerable amount of money in setting up her new business, in addition to having received capital from a bank loan. Without a company license, how was she going to make money and pay off the bank loan?The second issue was Christian taking her younger sister to a nightclub, which Yve knew her sister had never been to before, let alone getting herself drunk.Upon arriving at ChrisCrafter Ltd., Yve didn’t bother reporting to the receptionist to meet her husband. Instead, she headed straight for the elevator and went to the floor where her husband’s office was located.She had been to that office before and knew exactly where it was, so she didn’t need to rely on anyone
Camila was in a state of panic as she saw her child being kidnapped. She screamed loudly, flagging down passing motorcyclists to ask for help in stopping the black jeep that had abducted Yve.“Sir, please stop the black jeep up ahead; it’s taken my daughter. Please!” Camila pleaded with tears streaming down her face.An onlooker immediately gave chase. Several other motorcyclists also joined in the pursuit to rescue Yve.However, they abruptly abandoned their pursuit when someone from inside the vehicle brandished a firearm and fired shots into the air.No one dared to chase any further, as their own safety was now in question.The first person who came to Camila’s mind was Declan.The woman immediately contacted Declan to inform him of what had transpired and to ask for his assistance.“Declan, where are you?” Camila asked, her voice trembling.“Hello, dear! I’m at the office. Why do you seem so panicked? Is it about the mayor’s issue?” Declan inquired calmly.The case involving the
Rafael grew increasingly confident that Christian had no evidence to support his claims.Then the mayor turned to his bodyguards and said, “You there! Break this man’s legs. After that, contact the police and report that he has falsely accused me and attacked me!”“Yes, Mayor!” replied one of the tallest guards.Rafael gazed into Christian’s eyes and said, “At first, I just wanted to make you kneel at my feet and at the feet of my son. But I’ve changed my mind now. It seems quite enjoyable to see you paralyzed and rotting in jail.”The tallest guard approached Christian and pulled his arm, causing Christian to stand up in a single swift motion.“How many lives do you dare to wager with the mayor? No one has dared to challenge him because they all know the consequences. I will break every bone of anyone who dares to offend, let alone challenge, the mayor!” the guard declared with bulging eyes and a clenched jaw, his veins visibly pulsating.The man appeared immensely powerful, and Chri
