***While the terror was going on, Oscar had dropped Bradley with the authorities and ensured through his influence as the leader of the Jones League of Consortium that Bradley was going to be sent to jail as soon as possible.He was heading back to the event hall. He hoped that the program had not ended because he still had a few more people to humiliate especially George Morgan.George Morgan destroyed his precious heirloom which was the only thing that belonged to his late mother. Oscar wouldn't also forget how George humiliated him after Inara and Arabella faked a situation of him hurting Inara’s baby bump.Oscar had prepared George’s share of humiliation and even though it may not be as potent as the others, he was banking on the possibility that it would unbalance George in some way.He had been putting calls through to the announcer but his calls weren't picked up or returned.Oscar was beginning to wonder what was going on. Layla was also not picking up his calls and that was
There was silence among the guests and everyone’s heart was in their throat. Whatever needed to be done for the assassins to leave the hall and be on their way was what needed to be done.Layla heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Jamie’s name called. Even though it seemed a little selfish, it showed that they were not going to summon her. She had great fear in her heart because she thought that her position as Oscar’s personal assistant was going to draw the assassins in her direction.“Jamie! Where are you?” The lead assassin spoke out again.Jamie’s body was tense and coiled as he tried to blend into the shadows, his fears a potent force that threatened to overshadow him. But he wasn't going to heed their call. If everyone else was just going to keep shut, the assassins might think that the name wasn’t in the auditorium, Jamie thought.“Jamie! I know you are here and for the last time, reveal yourself!”The whole crowd was thrown into fear and confusion as they wondered why Jam
Jamie was still trembling with the effort of maintaining his composure as he hid in the shadows.His heart thudded in his chest as he heard the gunshot that highlighted the death of the innocent man. His fear threatened to consume him as he wondered if it was really a wise idea to remain there and refuse to heed the assassins’ call. But why would he just surrender himself to die? He was most likely more important than the guy the assassins killed anyway, he reasoned.A lot of people would suffer so the people around him who were signaling to him and urging him to surrender himself had better given a second thought.Jamie’s mind twisted and turned, his thoughts a frantic and disorganized mess as he forced himself to ignore the guilt that he was having.He had to drown himself in his own excuses.“Alright, since you are still going to remain there, I guess you have no problem seeing some more innocent persons die.”The lead assassin whispered again to one of his men.Within a moment,
He had to retract as he crept back into his fold where he was lying earlier.The assassins had no hesitation to kill another person as the same guy who had shot the innocent lady earlier pointed the gun at the next lady who was kneeling.The next lady was a brown-skinned lady with freckles across her face and lovely blue eyes. She was loved by many because of her jovial nature but there she was, at the edge of death.The whole crowd of guests was put in a state of shock, bodies legs trembling with a horrified shake of fear as they were about to witness yet another innocent person die at the hands of the assassins.The lady begged for her life, her voice filled with pity and helplessness. “Please reconsider your decision. I’m begging for my life, please listen, please. I am pleading with you.”The assassin laughed scornfully. “Hahaha, it's such a shame that a gorgeous bright lady like you has to die though but you shouldn’t blame me. You should blame Jamie, whoever he is—”The lady cut
“You hid yourself from us all these while because you thought you were smart. You thought you could somehow escape what was coming for you.”“You must be very important to Oscar seeing that you want to protect yourself so much. I am going to love to see the pain on Oscar’s face myself when I finally kill you.”Jamie was too weak to even plead anymore. He just accepted whatever was coming for him. He was dragged along the pavement like a dead log of wood. The lead assassin also followed the other guys. They had completed their exercise and were ready to leave the hall.But one of the assassins walked toward their leader. Whispering into his ears, he spoke. “How about the guy sir?”“Who?”“The guy who revealed who Jamie was to us. Should we let him back into the fold?”“Oh, I see,” The lead assassin’s face came alive as he remembered the secretary guy who snitched on Jamie.He retraced his steps back to the man.At that moment, the man’s heart was a heavyweight in his chest as he didn'
The assassins hurled their captives into the car, their movements showing a display of strength as they were in a hurry to get away from the massive gunfire. Jamie stiffened his body as he was being shoved. Unlike the other captives, Jamie wasn't going to let the assassins have their way in getting him kidnapped.He was relieved earlier seeing that Oscar had come with agents to protect them but things were taking a different turn and he wasn't comfortable with it at all.Three persons had to die inside the hall because he wanted to protect himself. It wouldn't matter if he took some more risks just to maintain his stance, he reasoned.His mind raced with desperate thoughts despite the delicate situation.Jamie wrenched himself, his body coiled and ready as he sprang away from the black sedan, his desperation a powerful force that stunned the assassins. Before the assassins knew it, they saw Jamie as respectable as he was running with such speed in his suit his tie flinging in the ai
“Look how easily you fell into our hands. You know we didn't ask for this. You kind of just entered into our trap.”Oscar’s eyes fluttered, his consciousness teetering on the edge of awareness. His breathing was shallow and weak as he looked like a sick patient.The assassins’ eyes were gleaming with evil as they thought of the best ways to inflict pain on Oscar. He was going to suffer for what he did and watch his business associates die before they finally killed him.“What’s wrong? Can't you keep your eyes open? Don't tell me you are too weak to even face me?” Brian put up a grin expression. “Or are you scared? Are you surprised? Why are you so quiet? Ah! I see that you are just a pathetic coward.”Brian shook his head as if he was having some pity for his victim.The assassin’s words trailed off and he drew back his fist before delivering a hard, brutal punch to Oscar’s face.The blow landed on Oscar’s jaw with a potent cruelty that left him dazed and broken. The sedan’s backsea
“Erm, I don't remember us meeting before now,” Layla spoke. “I am a little surprised you know my name.”Charlotte’s gaze shifted nervously. “Erm, I had to do a little research considering the importance of what I wanted to put to your notice.”“Oh, is that so?” Layla asked.Layla was trying not to get drawn in by Charlotte. She knew that she wanted a divorce with Oscar and being Oscar’s assistant, she wasn't sure if she was to be seen too closely with Charlotte.“Yes, Ms. Gonzalez. I really need your help. You are the only one who could possibly help me in this condition I find myself.”“Okay, I am listening. Let’s get to somewhere there would be fewer eyes on us,” Layla obliged Charlotte’s intention to speak to her. Perhaps she was going to have something reasonable to say, she thought.Charlotte’s words tripped in a deadly stutter of anxiety. “Erm—erm. I know you are close to Oscar and—”Layla shifted uncomfortably when she heard Charlotte mention Oscar’s name. She hoped that she wa
The assassins soon emerged from the vehicle with a predatory, confident stride as they scanned the surroundings before dragging the captives along in their wake.Their strength was a powerful force that left Anna, Allison, and Kenneth very weak. They had run out of even the energy to beg for their lives.Oscar was battle-ready though. His senses were heightened, his eyes closed and his body unmoving as he waited for the perfect moment to launch his strike.Brian launched forward, his hands stretched as he tried to drag Oscar out of the vehicle but he was met with a slight resistance that eventually grew into something he never bargained for.Oscar burst into action with explosive speed as he yanked Brian’s gun off him with a powerful force.Pow! Pow!With a strong force, Oscar pulled the trigger and Brian fell to the ground, his head blown out at the sound of the bullet.Within only two seconds, Oscar took down three of the assassins in a single volley. His speed was quite potent and
But Layla noticed that rather than being dodgy, Charlotte was rather confused and unsure about something. Charlotte’s eyes darted with a flicker of uncertainty as she seemed unsure of where she was going.Layla knew that she probably needed help and even though she was earlier irritated with Charlotte, she started to think that perhaps Charlotte was not as bad as she had initially painted her to be. Good people do bad things sometimes, she reasoned.Her heels clicked on the floor as she approached Charlotte whose movements were erratic and uncertain as she paced back and forth with an unbalancing force.“Hey, Charlotte,” Layla spoke, jolting her from her terrible confusion. “You look kind of confused. Are you okay?”Charlotte bit her lip, her expression uncertain as she wrestled with the decision to tell Layla what was bothering her. It was quite refreshing that Layla was concerned about her though.She finally found the courage to speak. “Erm, it is just that I don't have anywhere t
