“You again?” Hannah was shocked“ Yes, me! I told you your son would still come back from his hidden place to commit another atrocities. A leopard can never leave its skin and a snake will always be a snake. You raised a criminal and he will always be one” Lucas taunted Hannah raised her hand to slap Lucas but it was caught halfway by him. He didn't use much strength to hold her, so he dropped her hand angrily.“ Not so fast Hannah. Why did you feel offended with my statement? Are there any lies in my words? You derived joy and satisfaction in hurting people around you, so it's your turn to feel the effects of your cruel actions towards your fellow human. It's your turn to witness the painful death of your son. Oh!Was that too harsh? I'm not sorry for that” Lucas taunted her more.“ How dare you speak to me in that manner? I will never bury my child, so watch what you say with your mouth” Hannah said furiously.“ Of course, you won't bury your child, because you will never be given t
Justin was agitated, Lucas was furious and he stepped forward to attack the intruder but Lilly pushed him towards herself. She was scared of the wicked scowl on the man’s face, so she needed to hold onto Lucas for support.“ You should save your stress for another time, boy. I'm only here for your father-in-law, not you. I'm here to pay a sincere condolence to a one-time friend who later turned into a betrayer and murder” the intruder said angrily.“ What are you doing here, Jeffrey? And how did you get to enter through the gate?” Justin said through gritted teeth.Jeffrey, alias Lucifer, grinned wickedly, “ You have let your guard down because of your wife's painful death, so you couldn't protect your house with magic. This made it easy for me to get it, I knew you would be at your weak point.” Lucifer set himself on the couch. He picked up an empty wine glass on the table, then he turned to one of the maids that just entered the living room.“ I want this glass filled up with wine a
Justin sat down in frustration. Lilly widened her eyes in shock while Lucas became furious instantly, but all their gazes were fixed on Justin, who was sitting helplessly on the couch. He thought he had escaped the torment of the past, but Lucifer came back opening a healed wound. He didn't do it in private, he washed his dirty linen in front of his daughter, who was still mourning her lovely mother.His secrets of being a dark lord had also been exposed to his son-in-law. He knew Lucas possessed magic the first day he was brought home by his daughter, but he wanted to support him because he was the chosen one. Justin was not born a sorcerer, but Lucas's spiritual gifts and powers were natural. They were inbuilt, so he hid his dark magic. He wasn't proud of his initiation, so he was ashamed to show it before Lucas, except that he protected his house with it.Justin was helpless, he knew he betrayed his wife and daughter's trust, but he was also confused. He dragged his head up and dem
Lilly smiled as she watched her father's outburst. Justin was furious at his daughter's ridiculous wish and he disagreed vehemently. When he was done with his tantrums, he found Lilly looking at him with keen interest. “ Why is your expression like that? Why are you laughing at my condition?” Justin asked, surprised with his daughter's reaction.“ Inviting Joy and her mother here can be possible, and it will definitely be possible. I have never known you as a coward, Dad, so you have to own up to your responsibility.” Lilly said, her joyous face turned to a distasteful look towards her father.“ How did you expect me to accept a child from a prostitute? She took advantage of me!” He shouted.“ No dad, you were aware of what you did. Either you were under the influence of alcohol or not, you enjoyed it, so you have to be responsible for your actions. Joy might be a result of a one-night stand, but she is still your flesh and blood. She came from your loin, so I will never allow you to
Everybody present in the court watched the video with uninterrupted attention. Frederick smirk turned to fear, he never expected the lawyer to present the footage of his interactions with Miss Fisher to the court. He suddenly lost the courage he had earlier and he turned his gaze towards his mother. Hannah placed her hand on her chest to console him, the act was to pacify him to calm down.The judge ordered the clerk to remove the disk, then labeled it as evidence number 1.“ Barrister Tyler, please continue with your question” he said.“ Although there were a lot of witnesses on how Frederick disrupted the peaceful wedding between Lucas Wilson and Lilly Rowland, and how the drama of the murder unfolds, I still present to you the evidence that backs up our claims. Let's watch the contents of the disk, please.”, The lawyer gave another disk to the clerk.The video showed how Frederick removed his mask and how he threatened the couple, before Lilliana was killed. Hannah shouted from her
“ What kind of business do you have with Hannah? She might look miserable right now, but she is very cunning and wicked. Please be careful when dealing with her.” Lilly Advised Lucas as they were returning home.“ I know, love. I have made my findings about her and I know what she is capable of doing. Don't worry about her, I know how to deal with someone like that” Lucas replied.“ Can you please stay away from her path? When did you even start having issues with her?” Lilly asked, confused. She knew Lucas could not easily meet Hannah, because she was always traveling. How Lucas met her was surprising to her.“ I met her in the hospital you were admitted to when you were kidnapped. She smiled wickedly at me when your father was boiling in anger when Frederick escaped. I knew she had a hand in the escape, so I challenged her. I told her to laugh while it lasted, because she would surely cry over her son. That was our first encounter.” Lucas answered.Lilly opened her mouth in shock, “
Clara held her tummy and waist as the pain increased. Bobby rushed to her side and she used him as a support. Lucas wanted to attack Hannah but the security guards of the cemetery led her out. There was a smirk that showed on her face, but she wasn't totally happy either.“ This is impossible! How could she go into Labor when it's not yet seven months. Can this be forced labor? Bobby asked, scared.Clara's pregnancy hadn't reached seven months, so Bobby, including the other people that were aware of when she conceived, was confused.All of a sudden, Lilly shouted and shifted people's attention to Clara's skin color. Clara had turned paler and her skin color changed to blue. Clara checked herself and she lost it, she fainted immediately she noticed the change on her skin.Lilliana's body was quickly laid to the ground and covered with a heap of sand. Justin instructed the people he hired to cement the place, then made a tomb in honor of his wife.“ Let's rush her to the hospital, pleas
“ What did that statement mean, Dad?” Alex and Lilly asked simultaneously.“Lucas might be fortified against any form of poison, but a healer mustn't use his mouth to suck out any poison from his patient’s body. How did you not know this, Dave?” Zach asked “ I'm sorry I couldn't think straight. The pressure on me to find a solution was much, so I couldn't think of any other way. Please forgive me!” Dave apologized.“ Forgive you! You think you deserve forgiveness after leading my son to his death? He is your nephew, you are supposed to discourage him from doing anything unreasonable.” Zach flared in anger.“ Death? My husband will not die. Stop scaring me, Dad, please think of a way out” Lilly said.“ We cannot get any solution until we see the woman behind this attack. She isn't a sorcerer but she had dined with the devil. She went extra miles to get this poison, just to get an irreversible revenge on Lucas. Hannah got the magic to poison Lucas in the first place, not Clara. She had
Everybody rose at once, including the president. The president moved forward to shake hands with him, but Lucas remained puzzled. He was perplexed with the warm welcome, but he honorably walked round the conference room to shake each delegate's present. The president with his cabinet had smiles on their faces and they didn't hide how happy they were to meet him.A middle-aged man had his jaw dropped since the time Lucas entered and the shock didn't wipe off until Lucas got to his side.“ Good evening sir, you looked surprised to see me. I hope there is no problem” Lucas asked as he shook hands with the man.“ Yeah, I'm completely overwhelmed and I have a thousand reasons to be. This resemblance is just too much that I can't even fathom how we didn't realize it till this moment. You are highly welcome, son of grace” He said, then he faced the other cabinet who had gone back to their seats.“ If you observe very closely, this is James Armstrong in flesh and blood. Why haven't we noticed
As they drove through the busy road in the dark, many thoughts ran through Lucas's mind, “ What will my fate be when I get to the NSM office? Will I be punished? Will my identity be revealed? What excuse should I give for unsheathing the sword?”He wasn't worried about the condition at home on how to handle Albert's issue and the announcement of Justin's death to the public, because he trusted Alex to deal with that.He remembered when he visited the museum with Alex two days ago. Their father knew little about magic and he hadn't explained some of their family history to Alex, so he took it upon himself to enlighten him. They bought tickets and Lucas started explaining the existence and benefits of some artifacts to him. Although Alex was older, apart from the western knowledge, all he knew was business and Mafia dealings.They were about to round up their tour in the Museum when Lucas got to the door where James’ picture was engraved with the ancestral sword. He smiled when he went
Lucas rushed to Justin's side, he raised his head and sat behind his back. He rubbed his chest with his hand I'm order to relieve him of his cough. Although Justin's shirt was filled with blood, Lucas didn't mind. He rubbed the soaked shirt until Justin stopped coughing.Justin's cough stopped but his breathing was uneven. He found it difficult to form a whole sentence, so he just whispered in Lucas's ear, “ Please take me home urgently and make sure Albert and Joy followed us back to the mansion. Call your wife attention back to us please, she is disoriented about the new revelation”He managed to order Lucas after some minutes of break-in each word. Lucas wanted to question him about the new revelation, but he thought against it. His main focus was to take Justin home safely.“ Hey baby, come and help me carry dad on my back.” Lucas said to Lilly who was still lost in thought about the news of her unknown pregnancy.Her mind was somewhere else, so she was confused if she should hug
The dragon landed on the ground, then it covered the two brothers with its wings.“ Why would the Young warlock lay in a pool of blood like this? Why did he wait to be this injured before I could be summoned?” It questioned AlexThe dragon took a good look at Lucas, then it noticed he was unconscious. “ How did I get summoned if he was unconscious, I came because I saw his signature”Alex became paranoid, but he spoke up. “I rubbed the ancestral sword with his blood, that's how I was able to summon you” he answered.“ Oh! That's so thoughtful of you. You are just as smart as your mother. Let's check his wound then”The dragon started licking the wound. It licked all the blood on his heart. When it was satisfied that everything was clean, it spit on the wound.“ Let's give him some time to heal, he will be back to life. You should be grateful you summoned me on time, because the effect of the coated dagger hadn't reached his soul yet. Where is the monster?” The dragon asked “ I don't
Alex paced back and forth in his living room, while other family members sat down quietly expecting order from him. He became restless when he hadn't received any call from Lucas. He expected him to have gotten home and heard the situation of Joy's kidnap from his father-in-law, then put a call across to him, but he got nothing.He was running out of patience, because he was the one controlling Albert from jumping out of the house to meet his father.“ Are we still waiting for him? I'm losing my patience already. Don't try to stop me if I step out of this place” Albert shouted.“ Sorry, let me call his wife” Alex dialed Lilly's number, then it was picked instantly. “ Hi Alex, hope nothing is wrong with my husband” Lilly asked, as if she had been expecting his call.Alex was confused and everybody in the room became alert. He increased the volume of his phone for them to hear his conversation with Lilly.“ I don't understand what you are talking about. It's almost three hours since Lu
Lucas sighed heavily as he got to Rowland's mansion, he didn't know the kind of panel he would face when he entered. After a few seconds, he summoned courage to enter.As he opened the door, he was ambushed by his wife, Justin and Marie. Scared of their thorough questioning, he decided to start explaining himself, “ I'm sorry I didn't come home last night. I was with Alex discussing some important things before I lost the track of time, so I decided to sleep over. Please forgive me for making you worried, guys” he apologized.Lilly rolled her eyes and hissed. Her face was sad and she reluctantly went back to sit as if she wasn't expecting him.Scared that his wife wasn't ready to forgive him, he apologized again. “ Baby, I'm sorry please, this mistake will never repeat itself again”Justin and Marie also went back to their seat silently as his wife. Before he could say another word, Justin's voice stopped him.“ Joy has been kidnapped by Jeffrey and he demanded I come to a specific lo
“ My Joy, in trouble? Wha..what did the caption say?” Albert stammered.“ Okay, let me check…It says; come to this specific location if you want your daughter alive. Failure to do so in the next forty-eight hours, her corpse will be sent to you” “ How did she get captured? She is a great witch for goodness sake, how?” Albert yelled, then he threw his phone across the room.Alex hurried to his side, then he found forced him to sit down.“ You have to calm down. We will think of…” His statement was cut short by Albert's ringing tone.He dashed to pick up the almost shattered phone, but he was met with silence from the other end.“ Hello! Who is this please?” Still with no response, he lost his patience.“ If you can't speak, then get the hell away from me and don't try to call this number ever again” He screamedHis scream sounded like a joke to the caller, as the person bursted into a maniac laugh.“ Hello boy. You sounded so tough earlier on the phone, why is your voice shaking? Is t
“ Goodbye Lucifer!” As Lucifer heard these words from his son, he became furious. He knew he had lost his son forever but he wasn't ready to give up.“ No matter what it takes, I must get this boy to be on my side.” He thought, then he switched his attention back to Xavier, who was still on the phone with him.“ I don't know how you want to do it, but you must get my company back. Use any method possible to regain back my money from those scumbags. If you fail to give me any positive report, I will have your head on a platter” He threatened, then he disconnected the call “ Haa!, This can't be! How could someone successfully dupe me without any stress? Have I lost my power and sense of reasoning because of my lost arm? Why didn't I see this coming? Damn!” He hit his left hand on the wall before he remembered it's an artificial arm.“ Ouch! Shit! Shit! I will never accept defeat. I can't go down like this, I must do something. Justin has to let go of this dark magic by force. Snake! Sn
“ Good morning Mr Albert, Adrian and his team are waiting for us downstairs. Shall we go now?” Albert closed his laptop and he smiled, “Sure, let's go”Although he didn't know what Alex and Lucas's plan was, he still put his trust in them. Xavier and Albert drove in Albert's car. They followed Adrian’s car , then he led them to the Oil grill location.“ This will be your first project as the CEO of Robinson's Company, your father will be very proud of you” Albert looked at Xavier and he shook his head, “ I wouldn't want to take all the compliments and the glory, because most of the work was done by you. Robinson's Company is very lucky to have a dedicated manager like you, keep it up.”Adrian’s car moved at a high speed because the location of the oil grill was far. They drove for about an hour before they got to a high fence with a gigantic gate at the entrance. This fence encompasses a olarge expanse of land located at the outskirt of the city.Adrian parked his car in front of
