Elena's self esteem had changed during the course of her being alone in the house. She had learnt to love herself and also carried out some works alone. She tidied up the whole house, spray everywhere with air freshener and rearranged some things in the house.She ordered adult diapers for herself, so that she would not create a mess in the house. She also took her bath everytime she changed the diapers. Everywhere was sparkling clean and tidy.She started a garden in the house where she planted flowers and she watered them every morning and night. She did everything with joy and this had taken away most of her sorrows.Jinx never visited her again and the discharge from her private part had stopped. She was now reborn.Alex and other guys were initially scared when they couldn't find anybody in the house. They had searched everywhere and they had almost made a report for a missing person until Albert saw the back door opened. They went to the backyard and they were shocked when they
Elena was pacing back and forth, “ I didn't know that good Samaritan was his father, I would have informed him earlier than today” she lamented.“ It's not your fault, babe. We all thought his father was dead, so how could you have known?” Alex said.“ It's a pity you can't choose your parents, how could I have been related to a heartless man like Lucifer. All he does is to inflict pain on people, and he expects God to make him a king. That man deserves a painful death” Albert said bitterly“ Albert! That's too harsh for someone you called your father. Stop it, please” Elena retorted.“ Coming from someone who murdered her mother because of her excessive control. You don't need to behave like a saint here, Lucifer is worse than Catherina” Albert replied angrily. He knew his statement would hurt Elena but he hated the way she pretended to be holier than thou.“ I can't believe that's coming from a mature man like you, Albert. When will you stop being insensitive? Elena has changed and
Lucas rubbed his eyes and sat upright on the bed, “ What are you talking about?” He feigned ignorance.“ Don't even try to patronize me with that look. You had better start explaining now. Who is Dave?” Lilly glared at him.Lucas knew it's time for him to reveal his true identity to his fiancee, there is no need to hide anything anymore.“ Dave is my friend and my confidant. He has helped me to resolve the most difficult situation I have encountered in my life, so he is very important to me” he answered calmly.“ Okay, why were you murmuring his name in your sleep?” Lilly asked.Lucas looked confused, “ How would I have known what I did while sleeping? The question you just asked is rhetorical, babe.” Lucas said.Lilly shrugged her shoulders when she saw that she was overreacting. She turned her face from Lucas’s deep stare because she didn't want to look like a fool.“ You said earlier that you are a warlord and you can challenge any sorcerer, start explaining what you mean by that.”
“ Good morning Don, how are you?” Tiger welcomed Albert as he entered his father's compound. The Mafia members had been moved from the previous Mafia base into Lucifer's house.“ Don't call me that, I'm no longer the Don. Haven't I warned you before?” Albert responded irritatingly.“ Once a lion is always a lion, my boss” Tiger hailed him more.“ Not in this case, A lion is born a king and cannot be demoted or dethroned. You are the Don now, so maintain the position. Is my father around?” Albert asked“ Yeah, he is inside,” Tiger answered.“ Why did it take you so long to visit me, you always visited my house everyday before. Do you hate your father now” Lucifer asked as he set his eyes on Albert.“ Hate is an understatement, father,” Albert thought.“ You were not a fan of my visit then, meanwhile, I was here last week. Didn't Alfred inform you?” Albert responded.“ Hmm, I think a week is too long to visit your father's house. We can discuss while taking exotic drinks sometimes, like
“ I hope you realized you need to choose a date after your father's rescue, although the date should be after his treatment. He would have suffered a lot in the hands of that monster.” Dave said as he chewed the chicken drumstick he picked from his plate. The four men had gathered in Lucas's house to discuss the progress of their plans. Lucas brought out different delicacies and drinks to entertain them.Lucas shook his head as he saw the condition of his dining table, “ I know I have to choose a date urgently.” He responded to Dave's statement, then he pointed to the plate of creamy salad on the dining table. “ None of you have touched this salad, don't you know eating veggies is good for your health?” He said.“ You are the only health practitioner among us, you can as well finish it up. I'm not a fan of veggies, anyways.” Albert said.“ Has he explained Lucifer's game to you?” Lucas asked Dave. Alex had already informed him about Lucifer's proposition and he agreed to give Albert
“ Now that you have the company in your name, when do you promise to bring Alex over? We should dine and wine like one big family” Lucifer asked Albert as he went back inside the house.Albert had gone there with his lawyer as promised, and all the necessary arrangements were made to transfer the company to him. Although all other subsidiaries of the company were not included in the deal, he was the sole owner of the company's headquarters.He was about to put his signature on the documents,when Lucifer brought the idea of inviting Alex back to his house. Albert feigned anger at the initial stage, but he remembered Dave's warning, so he agreed to convince Alex.He made sure he followed his lawyer back to his car safely, then he secretly asked Tiger to watch over the man. Tiger was still loyal to him, even when he was no longer the Don of the Mafia group.He didn't trust Lucifer, so he only gave one of the duplicates of the documents to the lawyer, and he vowed to keep the original in
Elena had provided the map of Lucifer's underground basement to Zach’s rescue team and they were all ready for the mission.Lucas, Albert, Alex and some sorcerers had reached Lucifer's building at dusk. They planned to start the mission when darkness set in. Albert drove alongside with Alex into his father's compound immediately they reached Lucifer's neighborhood. The Mafia men hailed them as usual, before they matched inside the living room. Alfred was surprised to see Albert with Alex, but he was too scared of Alex's posture to question them.When Albert saw the confused look on his face, he smiled, then directed him to sit with them.“ As you can see, we are not to cause any trouble. I have tried to calm Alex and we are here for answers. Where is Lucifer?” Albert asked as he looked around the house as if he was searching for his father.“ Lucifer went on a business trip, so I don't think you can get the answer you seek today.” Alfred replied.“ We can still get some, only if you c
Lucas screamed in agony as he shook his father and others were consoling him. The person driving their car asked if he could stop, but Dave forbade him. He made it known to them that halting their movement at that time could put their lives at risk, because Lucifer was close to their location.Alex tried to remove Lucas's hand from squeezing his father's cloth, but Lucas refused to bulge,his hold on his father was too tight. As he was dragging the cloth with him, he felt the heartbeat of the man. For him to be sure of his prediction, he bit Lucas's hand off the man's chest and he placed his head on Zach's chest.“ Are you insane! Why did you bite me?” Lucas asked furiously. Instead of getting a reasonable response from Alex, the latter raised his index finger at him.“ Hold on a second, I think I just felt his heartbeat” Alex announced. Lucas's hope rose when he heard this, he pushed Alex's head away from Zach's chest, then he placed his head on his to check his heart beat. True to Al
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
