Tension fills the control room and everyone is holding their breath. The five-star general, the Overlord, Andrew Carter, is directing a critical mission. His assistant rushes in with his phone, he has an urgent call.

He takes the phone with an annoyed huff and places it over his ear. His heart stops as soon as the little sobs enter his ear.

“Hello, dad? Is this my daddy?” Please come and save me! I hate it here!”

Andrew pulls his ear away from the phone, is this a prank call? Why is a preschooler calling him? Where did she even get his number from?!

“Young lady, you have got the wrong number.” He says without emotion. He is about to end the call, but the little girl cries even more.

“No, this is not a wrong number! The name of my father is Andrew Carter and my name is Uma Carter!” She screams. “You married my mummy, she said that you love both of us!”

Andrew feels everything come to a standstill. This is not a prank, his gut is telling this to him.

A sharp yelp sounds from the other end and it follows with a thud, like the little girl has been slammed into the wall.

“You little demon, how dare you steal from me?!” A strange man ask. “I wasn't watching and you stole my phone?!”

“Forgive me, please! Don't beat me!” The girl begs.

The call ends and when Andrew tries to call back, the other phone has been turned off.

Everyone is waiting for him, the soldiers are waiting for his final command to annihilate the enemies.

“Overlord, sir, the enemies want to surrender!” One of the captains says. “They didn't know it's your mission, sir!”

“It's too late for that, kill every one of them!” Andrew orders.

He walks out of the control room, and his faithful assistant, Tina, is right by his side.

“Get the jet, ready. We are heading to New York immediately.”

…It was five years ago, his family was running from some evil people, but they were pursued into an accident. He didn't die in the burning car, he was pulled out of it by a brave young lady.

He decided to marry the lady to prove his appreciation, but he didn't know that she belonged to the famous Sanchez family.

But only a day after the marriage, he decided to join the army and he rose to become a five-star general, the feared Overlord.

Now he has just learned that he may have a child and that his wife and daughter will need his help. He will show up at a place that holds so many bad memories…

******

Andrew tracked the phone call and it has brought him to the gates of a marble-walled house.

The guard's eyes twinkle as soon as he sees Andrew. “Isn't that the useless son-in-law that disappeared years ago?!”

His colleagues join him as Andrew draws closer. Everyone knows him. The poor boy who got married to Mister Sanchez’s granddaughter.

Andrew doesn't mind them, he tries to walk through the gates, but he is halted.

“You can't go in there, young man.” One says. “Do you think you can just walk in after disappearing for five years?!”

Andrew is so not in the mood for this, he grabs both arms of the guards and twists them till they are rolling with pain on the ground.

He lets go of one, but he twists the arm of the other even further.

“Argh! My arm!” He cries.

“A little girl called Uma Carter, where is she?” Andrew calmly asks.

“You mean your daughter?” The man squeaks his face. “She has been sold!”

Sold? What the hell is going on? Andrew frowns as he releases the man. The man runs to the wall, pressing himself against it. His colleague has run away.

“Sold to who? By who? Speak!” Andrew fires.

“By Miss Sanchez. Your daughter was sold to a man called the Badger. She is on the seashore.”

Andrew is greatly confused about what is even happening. Her mother sold her? That's not the woman that he married!

That's all Andrew needs to know. He turns around and leaves the same way he has come.

The guard is holding on to his smarting arm. Surely this is not the same useless man that got married to Miss Sanchez.

Something has changed about him…

Meanwhile, Andrew gets to the other side of town very quickly. That's what happens when you are the Overlord.

He gets to the seashore and he finds the old storage building that was formerly a shed used to fix boats.

Since it's such an old place, no one really comes to this side of town. Or this far away from the shore.

As soon as Andrew enters, he hears the different sounds of animals, the place is like a mini zoo.

He walks deeper till he hears the whistling of a man and the throwing of a butcher knife.

The closer he gets, the clearer the image gets to him. There is a tattoo-covered seven-foot man, with a butcher's apron around his neck.

The apron is dirty with blood, and the man is about to cut a small child open, on the bloody table.

His child! Uma Carter!

    Andrew feels as bile rises in his chest, is that his daughter lying unconscious on the table?! The whistling man turns around and smiles at Andrew. “Ay, mate, what are you doing here? The shore is that way, you know.” The man points. When he sees that Andrew doesn't move, he stops whistling and faces him squarely. “Or are you here to buy a body part?” He asks. “The heart has been sold out to the badger. You can have the kidneys though.” The fact that this man is offering Andrew his young daughter's body's part makes him boil with anger. The man immediately freezes as he sees the anger on Andrew's face. He figures out the relationship between Andrew and the helpless girl really quickly. “Is this your child, mate?” He laughs. “Sorry, but she's been sold. The badger will be super mad if I don't get a heart to him by twilight.” “Maybe your heart will do just fine,” Angus says. “I will make sure to put it in a good box for your boss, the Badger.” The man laughs and whistles very l

    Andrew remembers the gutting feeling he had when he realized that his family was dead in that burning car. The dejection, the hopelessness, the grief. He is not going to allow that kind of situation to befall his daughter. He is going to get her mother out of whatever situation her fucked up family has gotten her into, and he is going to get his revenge. He goes back to the house and he meets the gate heavily guarded. They probably heard what he did to the two guards and about twenty men are standing, trying to stop him from entering. Their eyes widen as they see him. Some of them knew him as the useless son-in-law, but he was new to some. “It's you, Andrew Carter. Son-in-law to the Sanchez family.” One of the guards says. “You are not allowed in here, by the order of Miss Sanchez!” Andrew doesn't even bat an eye at them. He lowers his daughter gently to her feet, his jacket is still around her. “Close your eyes darling and count to twenty.” She is very obedient. She squeezes h

    Andrew turns to his daughter. “Is that so, baby?” “Yes, daddy.” She affirms. He smiles at his child. He turns to Adriana with his eyes red with fire. “You should thank my daughter, she is the only reason why I am letting you go.” He frees Adriana and she falls to the ground, gasping for air. Jasper is in serious pain, he is just a few steps away from her. Andrew doesn't give them a second look. He takes the hand of his daughter and they both leave the compound. The Red Men's Club is a happening place in New York. It's a place where men come to be away from the crippling mental stress it takes to run their multi-million businesses, their nagging wives, and their over-demanding children. Here they drink, gamble, patronize prostitutes, and go back home in the wee hours of the morning with glees of satisfaction. The atmosphere of the club is tense, bundles of money, bottles of expensive wines, bras, and ashtrays are on the table. In a corner is seated a beautiful violinist. Her re

    Ruby feels like something snaps when she turns to see that it's truly Andrew who has walked in. Is this a dream? Is Andrew, the love of her life, finally back?!Andrew walks into the room of men that are glaring at him and he goes straight to Ruby and lifts her back to her feet. Her eyes widen, she would have used words to express her shock, but she can't speak. “It's alright, Ruby. You are going to be fine.” He touches her face. Dan sneers as jumps to his feet with anger. “Young man, who do you think you are? This is my toy and I will not let you interfere in my matters!” Did this silly pig of a man just call Ruby his toy? Andrew's jaw tenses with anger. “Surely your mother taught you better than to disrespect a fine lady like this, but I'm going to let that slide,” Andrew says. “Just get on your knees and apologize to Ruby.” Dan turns around with an unbelievable snort. Has this stranger gone insane? Ruby is stunned by what Andrew is saying. Has he lost his damn mind? Dan is g

    Andrew almost laughs at their attempt to intimidate him. They have gotten a few policemen like some outdated guns and he is supposed to fold? Jasper has his hands on what appears to be a cast and Adriana's neck is still red from when Andrew almost snapped the life out of her. Yet, they haven't learned their lesson. They've dragged themselves out here again, in an attempt to make him cower. “Adriana and Jasper, I have seen that you haven't learned your lesson.” He chuckles as he embraces his family. Adriana huffs at what she sees him doing. She is glaring at both Ruby and Uma. She is going to deal with both of them after this. “You think your useless self can walk into town after five years and do anything you like?” Adriana asks. “First of all, I am going to lock you up for trying to bring down the Sanchez name, and then I will deal with these two.” Ruby is shaking so badly with fear. Andrew just got here and they are going to throw him into jail? But her daughter needs her fath

    Tina doesn't waste any time, she grabs Adriana's arm, but Adriana is so stubborn and tries to wriggle out of her grip, but it doesn't work. “Are you crazy, let go of me!” She screams. “You are an actor he hired, right? I will destroy you for even putting your hands on me!” Tina doesn't listen at all. She drags her all the way to the hood of one of the cars and forces a pen into her hand. “Sign it,” Andrew says. “Make me,” Adriana growls. And Tina does in fact make her sign it. She grabs her hair and Adriana screams with terror. The pain is so unbearable for her that she quickly signs the papers. After she has signed it, Tina takes it back to Andrew and bows to him. Adriana is breathing like an angry bull. She can't believe that low-life fool of a lady put her hands on her. She is going to lock all of them up, and they are going to beg for years before she even thinks of freeing them. Andrew, Ruby, and Uma are going to be the ones to suffer the most.

    Everyone is astonished, some have their hands on their chest as they haven't recovered from the shock of what they have just seen. Andrew caught a bullet with his bare hand? Like it was just a small stone flying by?Jasper turns white immediately and looks at the gun in his hands. Was that a fake bullet he used? No human should be able to catch a bullet with their bare hand! Ruby's mouth is hanging open. When did Andrew turn into a god? Only a god can do what he has done! Andrew whistles as he looks at the bullet that he is holding between his index finger and his thumb. “I told you that it wasn't a good idea, didn't I?” Andrew throws the bullet to the ground. Immediately, his soldiers descend on Jasper in a twinkle of an eye. They are dragging him toward what would seem like his execution, and Adriana is putting on a useless effort to free him. Andrew's eyes have gone dark with anger, his soldiers know better than to allow Jasper to escape. They are going to strip and then tor

Each house has two cube-sized rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, a toilet, and a small front yard.

Andrew is walking with Uma in his arms. It has been a long day and Uma has fallen asleep against his chest. He is holding Ruby's hand too, they are walking slowly on the sidewalk.

    There is a secret that Henry Jackson has been holding in his heart for the past four years now. He met a woman.

After the one night stand he had with the mystery lady, he paid her a hefty sum, he didn't want her to contact him, but she found his assistant's number and begged to speak to him.

    When James was sixteen, he disturbed his father for months because he wanted his first tattoo and his father said no. He didn't give up, he did better in school, he cleaned up, he did everything so that his father gave him the chance to get a tattoo. Henry Jackson wasn't a fan of tattoos, in fact he hated them. They were tacky and he preferred a smart appearance for his son. He was going to take over his father's businesses someday, Henry didn't want him looking like a canvas with graffiti on it. But when James wasn't backing down, he decided to get one, but under the condition that he was going to pick the location. He picked the side, across the ribs and he did that because it was typically one of the most painful parts of the body to be tattooed. He did that because he wanted to discourage his son from getting any future tattoos. James took the pain like a champ and when he became older, he got several more. It's that same tattoo that he is staring at and he knows, without a d

    Everyone is shocked as their eyes follow Andrew to the front. The Sanchez family seems to be having a heart attack. They think that Andrew is walking to the front to disrupt the wedding. Mister Thomas rushes to the front, charging at Andrew, but before he gets to them, two soldiers restrain and tackle him to the ground.“You dare you?!” The angry soldier asks. “Oh, sir, was trying to clear the fool from disrupting the wedding. The anonymous partner is going to be here soon and I don't want him to encounter this nuisance.” Thomas says, shaking with fear. The scowl on the soldier's face grows even more. “THAT'S the anonymous partner, you fool! How dare you lay your hands on him?!” Thomas' jaw slacks even more. It's like a complicated math equation, because he can't understand the words that just came out of the soldier's mouth. Andrew is the anonymous partner?! And the overlord? The greatest commander of the army?! Is this a prank?! Is this a joke? Well, if this is a joke, it's

    It's been five days and Henry has not heard from his son, James. It's normal for James to just give himself a sudden vacation and organize on orgy on one of those exotic islands, but the usual thing is that he never called his father. His father has tried to get people to track his son down to the last location and his phone, but it doesn't sum up to anything useful. It's like his son has disappeared into the thin air. He is on the phone again, looking out of the window of his office. “Are you trying to tell me that you can't help me find my son?” “Sir, it would have been easy to track him with his phone, but we have not been able to see any sign of him.” “So, what are you saying?” “I hate to say this, sir, but I think that maybe your son doesn't want to be found.” “That's absurd. James wants nothing more than to be my heir. He would never run away like this. Something is wrong.” Henry insists with a sad tone. “But sir–” “I won't be taking no for an answer. Do your research a

    On the day that Jasper is buried, the sky is gray and there is a heavy pour down. That doesn't stop the family, friends, and loved ones to come and pay their last respect to Jasper Banks. His coffin is white with golden rims. There are so many flowers and even their bright colors are not enough to lift the depression that is everyone's heart. There are over two hundred people there and that's because there are security guards around to keep the occasion strictly based on invitation. Everyone else is across the street, watching with sorrow. The minister is soaked to his bones. His Bible is drenched with praise, but that doesn't stop him from raising his voice high and declaring that Jasper is now in heaven. Everyone is quiet. Jasper's parents are standing right in front of the coffin and their calmness and dried eyes tells that they have not recovered from the shock of the death of their son. Occasionally, a voice breaks into loud sobs and stops, only to repeat. It's Adriana. She

    They are all standing in shock – Adriana, James, and Ella too. They all know about the overlord, he is the greatest force in the army. Even the president of the country respects and holds this anonymous man in the highest esteem. He is feared everywhere around the world. He is a great man and they are all in awe of him. But surely, this has got to be a big joke! Andrew Carter, the useless son-in-law, cannot be this big and important man! And being the anonymous partner?! The person who has turned the Sanchez empire upside down! How can he be the same person that is standing in front of them?!Adriana is the first to laugh with her shoulders and her eyes squint with humor. “This has got to be a joke, right? I'm supposed to believe that Andrew Carter is suddenly a very important person?” She scoffs. She soon learns the hard way because a soldier angrily uses the butt of his gun to hit her behind her knees and forces her to fall to the ground. She grunts with pain as she falls on

    Because Adriana has forced them to, they spend the next hours in the living room. In absolute silence. Jasper’s body is on the ground. Scarily stilled by death and Phil thinks he is just imagining it, but Jasper's hands have turned a dull gray. Maybe his spirit is moving around the house, staring into their faces and shaking his head. Uma has kept her eyes away from the body. She is traumatized by what she has seen and would probably have to go to therapy for it.Adriana has lit a cigar again. She has smoked up to four in just a few hours and she doesn't look like she is slowing down any moment soon. She just killed her fiance and she threatened to kill her cousin and niece. She needs all the nicotine in those blunts to calm her down. She is waiting for James again. She hopes that he comes very soon. She hears a car drive up front and she immediately jumps up to her feet. “Look alive, people. James is finally here.” She turns around and sees that Uma has tears stains on her fa

    Adriana is shocked. They were very discreet with their movement, how is it that Jasper has found her?!He breezes past and she is too shocked to stop him. As soon as he enters the house, she shuts the door before any more attention can be drawn to them. She looks far from pleased to see him. The city is a long way from here. How did he even find her? He is looking around, straining his neck this way and that. It's as if he is expecting the kids that he is accusing her of kidnapping to pop out of nowhere. “What the hell are you doing here?!” She asks him. “You have gone so low, Adriana. You are now kidnapping children?” She scoffs and folds her hands with the likeness of a scolded child. “You have no idea what you are talking about, Jasper.” “Oh, don't lie to me! I've known you for too long, I can hear you lying right in my face!” He scowl at her. “What the hell do you take me for?” “You know, I've been trying to tell myself that you haven't changed that much, but I will be ly

    Phil forgets that he is a very sick person and has picked up smoking over the days. He has never been a smoker before, he just picked it up because he was depressed and needed something to calm him down every now and then. He heard Ruby mentioning that she was busy with work and might find it hard to squeeze out time to pick Uma up from school. Thomas and Doreen have been very busy lately. Since the anonymous partner made his intention towards their child known, they have suddenly become important in the Sanchez family again. They used to be sidelined and ignored, they used to be rubbished and insulted, but in just a few minutes,they have turned into those that they once hated. They barely spoke to Phil, it was like he became one with the walls. He is not relevant to them anymore. At least Ruby asks how his day is going every now and then, but Thomas and Doreen are just as bad as William Sanchez and Adriana. They have gotten high positions in the company. It's going to become
