2025-02-18 22:47:39Carl Gerald was dumbfounded, his jaw dropping in surprise and shock.
“What are you…what are you talking about Tiffany?!”
“Is this supposed to be some kind of joke or something?!”
He couldn't get himself to believe that his wife would actually decide to abandon him in a time like this when he really needed her the most.
“Please, this is not the right moment.”
Tiffany Raymond slowly smirked at Carl Gerald before beginning, her voice totally unapologetic and laced with derision.
“And who said that I have to pick a favourable moment to divorce you?!”
“I can choose to divorce you anytime and any day!”
“Carl Gerald, just take a good look at me, do you know how many men want to marry me?”
Tiffany Raymond asked as she turned around in her red gown which was really doing a good job accentuating her feminine assets.
Carl Gerald took a deep breath and stared at his wife.
“Is this how it's going to be…Tiffany …after all that I did for you and the Raymond's family?”
“Oh cut that crap!”
“Don't even try to make it seem like you did us a favour.”
“If you must know Carl Gerald…I have left the trenches and I left you behind, recently my company, Tiffany Group secured a whopping amount of five hundred million dollars deal with Tyler's Global Holdings.”
“Tyler's family is one of the top families in Northcliff city and you, you are a man of…Nothing!”
“Carl Gerald, I want nothing to do with you anymore!”
“Please sign the divorce paper immediately!”
Tiffany Raymond's voice was laced with a mixture of derision, mockery and anger as she vented it all out into the face of Carl Gerald.
“Tiffany, if you never loved me, why then did your father, Mr Raymond, come to ask me to get married to you?”
Carl Gerald asked almost immediately, his face was etched with a mixture of shock and bewilderment.
“Isn't it obvious, you luckily saved my life and my dad felt the only way to pay you back was to marry you!”
“Carl Gerald, listen to me, I never loved you, if you were the only man on the planet, I would rather marry a pig!”
Tiffany Raymond said angrily without sparing Carl Gerald any further looks.
“Carl Gerald…my father is no more, I have been climbing up the corporate ladders and I have big visions to achieve and I can't do that with you being a dead weight dragging me to the ground!”
“My career is about to take up to its peak and I don't want anyone around me pulling me down…especially you!”
“Now would you please sign these divorce papers immediately!”
Tiffany Raymond's words were straight and direct. Carl Gerald didn't need an interpreter to tell him that Tiffany Raymond really never loved him.
As he was struggling to process his wife's painful betrayal, a voice immediately rang into the ward.
“Tiffany, what is going on?”
“Why aren't you already having his ashes in a ceramic vase?”
“We ought to be celebrating by now…what's the hold up?”
Sebastian Tyler's voice was laced with a mixture of impatience and confusion as he walked into the ward.
His gaze immediately fell on Carl Gerald and he was immediately stunned with shock and bewilderment.
“Why is he still alive?”
“I thought…Carl Gerald was supposed to be dead!”

Carl Gerald exhaled sharply. He was finding it hard to believe what he was hearing.However, at the moment, the information the woman kept spilling was unimportant to him. His heart was grieved by the recent loss of his adoptive mother and an ever-rising worry about the safety of his sister.“Just stop it!” Carl yelled at Debra Zach.He didn’t wait for her to respond, tossing the black handkerchief at her weakly. “Just stop it. Stop spouting lies!”Carl Gerald pulled his hospital gown, he stormed through the woman and her seven security guards.“Wait,” Debra Zach reached for his hand, “Take this, it’s yours.”“This—”“It’s a Supreme Black Card from Vesta Bank, It contains earnings you’ve made from all your missions.

He wasn’t too fast at counting, but he counted well over twenty.“Let my sister go!” Carl tried to put his growing fear behind him.Jake Boston only chuckled to himself, “You, go deal with that sicko.” He pointed one of his men to Carl, before tossing him a metal bat.The man grabbed the bat, swinging

Jake retracted the knife.Instantly, Jake began the offensive. He pulled a short sprint, directly landing a blow on Carl Gerald's face, sending him flying into nearby rubble"Urgh!" Carl became scared once again. It wasn't like his other opponents where he could read into their movements with his new found abilities.Jake Boston was too fast. Plus, he was ruthless too. Without waiting for Carl Gerald to recover, he began to throw puches left and right."I warned you not to interfere."

Sara Gerald rarely saw her adopted brother so worked up, but she pushed behind the thought as she knew the situation called for it."Let's go confirm at the bank, we can't stay out here." Carl Gerald said firmly.Even though Carl was determined to go, he wanted to go with Sara's permission."Ok, let's go then." 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.

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

“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

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
