Chapter 1 : Lloyd's Return
I watched, from the tiny window of my closest, as my father, Anthony Bishop, stared down the barrel of gun, a look of pure defiance on his face.On the floor was my uncle Marcus, a man that was almost closer to me than my parents.He was killed earlier. I saw the man with the dragon tattoo smile wickedly, as he asked him “Any last words”“Run Lloyd, Run” were the last words my father spoke, as I burst out of the closet, running towards him.“NO!, DAD!” we're the last thing I said before the man pulled the trigger, and instantly, I was awoken from my nightmare.I placed a weary hand on my head as I panted heavily, my body drenched in sweat.I've had this recurring nightmare for the last 15 years, ever since I witnessed my family's massacre.Likewise, I always wondered what would have happened if I had tried to save my father that day, would it have made any difference?My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of my phone ringing.“Yes” I answered.“We found her Boss” said a voice on

The Wrath of the Dragon Duke. Chapter 88 : Questionable Investment

The entire Francis family, including Lisa, sat around the long conference table, their eyes fixed on the man seated at the head.Martin Lance.One of the wealthiest investment bankers in the country, a man whose presence alone commanded attention.Lisa, still unsure why she had been asked to attend this meeting, sat stiffly beside Harold.Her hands were clasped together in her lap, a mixture of confusion and curiosity swirling inside her.Martin leaned back in his chair, his fingers lightly drumming against the polished mahogany table. Then, with a slight smirk, he finally spoke.“I’ll get straight to the point” he said sharply"I heard about Francis Steel’s recent… financial troubles, and I’d like to investment into your company" he said The family all gazed at each other in confusion."How much are we talking here?" asked Eleanor"one hundred million

The Wrath of the Dragon Duke. Chapter 87 : I.O.U
Lisa sat curled up on the edge of her bed, knees tucked to her chest, staring blankly at the window. The room was dim, the heavy curtains drawn shut, as if blocking out the rest of the world. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her body felt weak, drained of all the energy she had left.For the past day, she had refused to leave this room.No matter how much Lloyd tried to comfort her, no matter how many times he told her things would be okay, she couldn’t bring herself to believe him.And this hurt her even more, beacuse he'd always been there for her, he'd always helped her, so it almost felt like a betrayal of the man she loved most.Everything seemed to work out when she was with Lloyd, but this time, no matter how much she thought, she couldn't see how he couldn't fix this Everything was falling apart.The Francis family was at the brink of ruin, and even though she had spent her entire life trying to earn their approval, they now saw her as nothing more than a liab

The Wrath of the Dragon Duke. Chapter 86 : At Wits End
John Francis sat in his study, his fingers steepled under his chin, his face lined with exhaustion.The dim glow of the desk lamp cast long shadows over the room, illuminating the deep creases in his forehead. His usually immaculate hair was slightly disheveled, a rare sight for the proud patriarch of the Francis family.For the past week, he had barely slept, as every time he closed his eyes, all he could see was the destruction...the firebombed estate, the ruthless thugs stripping their home of its valuables.The humiliation of watching everything he had built being seized by Numa’s men like they were nothing more than common debtors, made John's aged heart ache heavily.He exhaled sharply, he had to control himself.It was Lisa... but not just her...Lisa and that bastard Simon Harland.The moment she stepped into Francis Steel, the moment she brought that man into their home, everything had gone to hell.John knew it wasn't just her that could be blamed, he approved of Simon's ma

In truth she just didn't want to let down Lloyd since he believed in her so muchShe rubbed her temples, exhaustion creeping in.

The Wrath of the Dragon Duke. Chapter 83 : The First Retaliation
Smoke hung heavy in the air, the acrid scent of burning wood and chemicals filling Harold Francis’ nostrils as he rushed outside. The screams of terrified maids and butlers echoed through the estate grounds, their silhouettes darting frantically in the dim glow of the blazing fire. “What the hell happened!?” Harold bellowed, his heart pounding in his chest. Jenna, one of the senior maids, ran toward him, her face pale with fear “Sir, it was an attack! A black van drove past the gates, and men inside threw firebombs at the house..." "Did you see their faces?" asked Harold "No, they wore masks" replied Jenna. "What about their plates?, did you run their plates?" asked John as he slowly stepped into the scene The Roy. "I don't... I don't know how to..." Jenna stammered. "Argh!" Roy groaned angrily, as he turned to one of their butler's. "DID YOU RUN THE DAMN PLATES?!" he asked, his voice enraged.

The Wrath of the Dragon Duke. Chapter 82 : Plan in Motion
Lisa sat across from Lloyd at their small dining table, the dim glow of the chandelier casting soft shadows on the walls of their shared bedroom. The evening was peaceful... too peaceful, she had been thinking about this for days, waiting for the right moment to ask. Now, as they shared a quiet dinner together, she finally spoke.“Simon” she began, setting her fork down, “when will I finally be able to resign from Francis Steel?”Lloyd glanced up from his plate, taking a slow sip of his wine before answering “It’s only a little over a week before the Western Steel contract ends, isn’t it?”Lisa nodded “Yes, and I just…” she hesitated, unsure of how to put her feelings into words “I don’t want to delay any longer, every day I stay there, my family keeps trying to push me around, like I’m just waiting to be replaced, I want to move on, I want to start the law firm"Lloyd wiped his mouth with his napkin and leaned back slightly “I’ve already figured everything out” he assured her, his

The Wrath of the Dragon Duke. Chapter 81 : First Attack
The atmosphere in the private lounge of an exclusive Hilburg club was thick with the scent of expensive cigars and aged whiskey. Seated around an opulent mahogany table were John and Harold Francis, facing the men who had come to secure their allegiance... Henry and Edgar Numa. Henry leaned back in his chair, his fingers idly swirling the glass of whiskey in his hand. His sharp, calculating eyes flickered toward Harold. "You told me Lisa agreed to step down" Henry said, his voice smooth yet carrying a dangerous undertone "Yet here we are, days away from the expiration of the Western Steel contract, and she’s still sitting pretty in the CEO’s chair" Harold cleared his throat, shifting uncomfortably "She’s stalling, and I don't know why" he admitted "every time we press her about resigning, she finds an excuse, says she needs more time to transition out of the role, that she wants to ensure a smooth handover" "More time?" Edgar scoffed, his fingers tapping impatiently agains
