2025-02-18 22:48:57Tyler Sebastian's arrogance and pride immediately ignited a blaze of anger inside of him, he slowly gazed at Sebastian Tyler and shook his head in bewilderment.
“So what is it going to be Carl Gerald, are you to let your high headedness send Sara, your little sister to the streets?!”
Sebastian Tyler's voice was a bit vehement as he stared at Carl Gerald in anticipation of what he would do next.
The situation was Palpable as Carl Gerald, still deeply worried about Sara's safety, slowly gazed at Tiffany Raymond, disappointment and anger was what reek all over his face.
“Sebastian Tyler…I have told you, yy can't humiliate me into grovelling at your feet and signing those divorce papers…not today and not ever!”
Carl Gerald's voice was laced with an unprecedented level of authority and determination.
“Carl Gerald…I understand that you are doing this to still save our marriage…but let's face it!”
“We are not cut out to be together, Carl Gerald, you and I are worlds apart.”
“I have told you, our marriage was just a way to pay you back for saving my life…but now that I have bigger things to achieve…I'm afraid I can't put up with you!”
“Just cut this shitty show and sign the divorce papers, if it will make you feel any better I have added a twenty million dollars offer to the divorce.”
“Twenty million dollars is a lot of money for a lifetime especially for someone who barely makes two thousand dollars in a whole month!”
“Carl…accept this offer from me, it's the best I can do for you as we go our separate ways.”
Tiffany Raymond's voice was laced with a mixture of mockery and derision as she stared at Carl Gerald before continuing.
“Carl Gerald, you should even be happy now that your mom is dead!”
“You should be glad that she died in that crash with those thugs…now you can manage the little money that you make from your low life jobs!”
“With Mrs Amber Gerald now dead you no longer have to scrape together your daily little savings just to take care of her and her medications.”
“In fact, Carl Gerald, this should be a very big relief to you, at least you would be getting to enjoy the two million dollars that I would be giving you for signing those divorce papers all to yourself!”
“You can spare some money from the twenty million dollars and give your mom a befitting burial, it's the least I can do.”
“Aren't I generous Mr Sebastian?”
Tiffany Raymond's voice was laced with a mixture of humiliation and disrespect for Carl Gerald, her husband as she stared at Sebastian Tyler.
“You are very much generous my dear!”
“Don't mind the fool…if I were you, I wouldn't even give him up to that amount of money!”
Sebastian Tyler's voice was laced with a mixture of derision and mockery as he laughed loudly at Carl Gerald.
Hearing those disdainful words coming from his wife, Carl Gerald was immediately filled with bitterness, anger and disappointment.
He wanted to intervene at least to deliver a loud slap to the face of Sebastian Tyler but he just knew that he had to keep his cool for now.
To Carl Gerald, Tiffany Raymond wasn't just being selfish and unreasonable at the moment, she was being callously indifferent towards his mom's death and this was all that Carl Gerald needed to see so that he could finally decipher the true nature of Tiffany Raymond.
For the first time since they got married, Carl Gerald could now see through the facade that was his wife.
“Carl Gerald! What are you doing staring at us like a mannequin?!”
“If you are not going to sign the divorce papers, then at least stop staring at Mr Sebastian as if you can do anything to him!”
Tiffany Raymond's words were this time more than hurtful before, Carl Gerald slowly took a deep breath.
He slowly bent down and picked up the file, darting a cold and determined gaze at Tiffany Raymond.
“Tiffany I will sign this divorce papers, not because you asked me to do it but because you have just revealed who you truly are to me!”
“Here you go all signed and for the record, you can keep your twenty million dollars to Mr Sebastian Tyler.”
Carl Gerald's voice was laced with a mixture of determination and authority as he spoke.
Tiffany Raymond was stunned to her bone marrow, she had expected Carl Gerald to grovel and beg her to stay.
Her face was etched with a mixture of confusion and bewilderment as she and Sebastian Tyler stared at the man who once almost worshiped her, now turned against her.
“Carl Gerald…I don't believe you really want me gone! Why are you pretending that you can do without me?!”
“You and I know that you can't exist without…”
“Enough Tiffany!”
Carl Gerald's voice was vehement and laced with a mix of anger and determination.
“I don't need you any more Tiffany Raymond, you made it clear to me that you think of me as a worthless piece of trash when you showed up here and asked for a divorce!”
“Well, you got what you wished for!”
Carl Gerald's voice was cold and this time detached, all emotions and feelings that he once had for Tiffany Raymond, his wife, were now all gone completely.
“Carl Gerald! Don't talk to Tiffany Raymond like that, if you weren't less of a may, she wouldn't have divorced you initially!”
“Just take a look at your shoes, were those dug out from the pit some days ago? I know that you work in a construction site but at least, look better than this!”
“Tiffany, this animal doesn't deserve you in any way!”
Sebastian Tyler's voice was laced with a mix of mockery and disdain as he yanked the divorce papers off Carl Gerald's hand.
Taking a deep sigh, Tiffany Raymond walked a bit away from Carl Gerald holding her nose in a manner of mockery and humiliation.
“Carl Gerald, it's over, since you don't want my twenty million dollars, I will keep it!”
“You are the first beggar to defile the saying that a beggar has no choice!”
“It's a pity you wouldn't be joining us at the banquet this afternoon, Mr Rene, the president of Vesta banking corporations has invited me to attend their only members exclusive annual banquet.*
“All thanks to Mr Sebastian Tyler over here, if not for the strings he pulled, I wouldn't have had this lifetime opportunity to finally meet Mr Rene of Vesta Global banking corporations.”
“I know a dunce like you might not about the Neptune Global banking corporations, so let me educate you a bit.”
“The Vesta Global banking corporations is the country's biggest financial institution and rumour has it that they control over ten trillion dollars as a firm.”
“With Mr Sebastian Tyler's help I'm going to secure a whopping sum of ten billion dollars from the bank as investments into the Tiffany Global Group and that will definitely cause an exponential growth in my company.”
“Carl, can you now see why I had to choose Sebastian Tyler over you?”
“Carl Gerald, you are a disgrace to manhood, you are less of a man and more importantly, Sebastian Tyler is everything that you aren't!”
“See you…Never, Carl!”
Tiffany Raymond's voice reeked with derision and humiliation as she held Sebastian Tyler by the hand and the both of them walked out on Carl Gerald.
Carl Gerald just watched Tiffany Raymond pranced away with Sebastian Tyler.
“It's over…Loser!”
Tiffany Raymond's voice was loud and never losing the mockery and humiliation it had for Carl Gerald.

Sara clung to Carl Gerald.Vesta Bank was a well known bank, except it was quite far from the siblings' home. Carl and his sister were tattered from the recent ordeal.As they walked along the street, judging glances were cast on them, some whispering and murmuring could be heard."Why do they look like that?""He's beaten up badly, isn't he?""He looks like he's kidnapping her.""More like they escaped from kidnappers."Carl Gerald and Sara Gerald paid no heed to the murmurs, each lost in their own thoughts.Carl Gerald was thinking of how to get a place to stay if the card failed.Sara was thinking of how not to be a burden to her already overbearing brother.

"It seems I'm due for a reintroduction," The lady dipped her head, "My name is Juliet Marcus, Miss Juliet Marcus."Carl Gerald felt like he'd heard that name somewhere but he couldn't place a finger on it."And this is your account currently," Juilet Marcus continued. She dragged out her phone and placed it by the side of the golden tray face down.Carl Gerald, though skeptical, decided to flip it over. As he set his eyes on the amount, he almost dropped the phone in shock. It was well over 100 billion dollars and still counting."Carl, is that your account balance?!”Sara also leaned in on Carl as she peered into the phone.She scattered crumbs all over him as she talked with a barely full mouth."Swallow your food before talking, you're a grown up." He scolded, but the expression on his face said otherwise. He was subconsciously grinning from ear to ear."That's just your account you set aside for investments, if you'd like I can open your 5 other accounts, or just the main one."J

"We're ready to go now."Carl Gerald pulled open the car door, signaling for Sara Gerald to enter.Sara pouted and entered reluctantly, still clutching the open places on her gown tightly."Ok, I'm outside the Villa already, give me a moment." Juliet Marcus hung up the call.Carl Gerald placed the phone in Sara's hands as soon as the call was over."I'm here, sir!" Juliet Marcus was out of breath as she'd run from the gate of the villa. She gave a deep bow once she was close enough to Carl Gerald."Miss. Juliet, that was fast..." Carl Gerald tried to be polite to the bowing lady."It's my job to give satisfactory services to my customers." She smiled smugly, standing upright, as though stating the obvious."Miss. Maxxy!" Sara called out to Juliet Marcus. "Thank you for the tea earlier, it was delicious."Juliet Marcus looked around, but seeing no one, she pointed at herself, "Me? Maxxy?" Sara Gerald nodded with a wide smile. It was her way of showing thanks. "Your name was too long t

"It's these broke fools."Tiffany Raymond looked at Carl Gerald with a sneer of disgust. "I really didn't expect you to stalk me all the way here, especially after behaving so arrogantly at the hospital earlier."She hid behind Austin Tyler, a fake placid innocence played across her dark brown eyes. As Carl Gerlad met eyes with his ex-wife, his rage erupted like a volcano."I told you he was still attached to me, he's so disgusting." Tiffany murmured audibly."Don't keep your head in your ass, I don't like you one bit. Anything I held for you vanished the moment you walked away with this man." Carl Gerald made himself as clear as possible."He's disgusting and mannerless, talking to the fiancee of a soon-to-be business tycoon owner and being stubborn!" Austin stepped forward, staring Carl Gerald straight in the eye."W-what?" Sara Gerald felt like she heard wrong. "Fiance?""Yes, Sara. I'm going to marry Austin Tyler very soon.

“Is this it?” Debra Zachs asked as she stared out the window.The building in front of them was dark almost as if no one had visited here in decades.The building was an abandoned mansion-like structure, only it was looking like something that was kind of haunted, all the windows were fogged over and darkness kind of covered the whole place from the entrance.Lieutenant Alex immediately gazed at Lara Peterson and took a deep breath.“Lara Peterson, are you sure we are at the right place? Because here seems kind of…not the place the leaders of the black syndicate would ever have a lair or hideout.”Lieutenant Alex asked as he opened the door of the All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) and stepped out.General Carl Gerald, Debra Zachs, Lara Peterson and the rest of the team join him immediately.“I'm really sure that this is the place where Clyde Lex is supposed to be meeting with the leaders of the Black Triangle Syndicate and I believe that Sara Gerald will also be here, we just have to find the

Chapter Sixty-two:
Back at where Sara Gerald was being held, distressed eyes fluttered open in a room that was dark.The only thing keeping the owner of those pale green eyes assured that she wasn’t blind, was the slight increase of brightness in the starless sky outside.Sara Gerald let out a deranged chuckle. It was strange that she could see high rise buildings through the small and high window. A victim of kidnapping out in the open, and no one knew where she was.The most ironic part was the fact that the kidnappers never took her to abandoned locations.“Hehe…” Sara chuckled again. It was strange, truly strange. “Everybody… everyone has left me…” Amidst the laughter lacking sanity, was a voice full of tears.Sara was scared of being alone, she began to doubt if her brother had even seen the message she sent, or maybe he never tracked the signal, or even worse, he never saw her distress call.“Carl, are you still at that … military base?” Sara cried, fear gripping her at the thought of her brother
Chapter Sixty-one:
Carl Gerald jolted awake in the back of the car.It was just the crack of dawn, the dark sky seemed to recede into a shade of a dull and dark sky blue.As he slowly took in his surroundings, and processed the dream—or rather—memory, a stray tear fell down the sides of Carl Gerald’s face.“What’s…” Carl Gerald raised his hand to his face, touching the tear that rolled down his face.Above all other thoughts, resided the last words he managed to grab from the memory fragment.The ‘Zed family’“Ah, General.” Lieutenant Alex’s voice rang through the head of Carl Gerald, interrupting further dwelling on the memory. As Lieutenant Alex got close to the car, the oddly happy expression he had dwindled when he saw a dazed look on Carl Gerald’s face. To Lieutenant Alex, it was only once he had seen that face. It was when the 15-year-old Carl Gerald lost his parents due to the greed of unknown collaborators.“General… is everything alright?” Lieutenant Alex asked, his tone laced with concern as
