With a tone of finality, Damien's father announced, "No allowance for you for the next six months. You need to learn the consequences of your actions."As Damien opened his mouth to protest, his father's deadly gaze silenced him. "Leave my office now, Damien," his father commanded, his voice brooking no argument.And with a heavy heart and a mind filled with regret, Damien turned on his heel and left, knowing that the repercussions of his folly would linger long after he had exited his father's presence. Damien left his father's mansion and drove through the familiar streets, heading back to his luxurious apartment in one of the best estates around Berkeley University. The anger in his heart fueled his reckless driving. Arriving at his upscale apartment, Damien stormed in with determination, carrying the painting in his hands. He placed it in the middle of his living room, his gaze burning into the artwork as his mind raced with thoughts. His anger bubbled over as he pondered his
As Ferdinand turned the corner into the quiet street, the sudden appearance of Duke's vehicle startled him. The car screeched to a halt, and Duke urgently called out for Ferdinand to get in.Without hesitation, Ferdinand swiftly hopped in the car, feeling relieved as the door slammed shut behind him."Thank you, Duke. I owe you one," Ferdinand gasped, his breath coming in short, ragged breaths."No time for thanks now, Ferdinand. We need to get out of here," Duke replied tersely, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of the shooter.Just then, a sharp noise rang out as the gunman continued to fire at the bulletproof car, the bullets bouncing off the sturdy exterior of the bullet proof vehicle, until it was out of sight.Once the danger had passed, Duke instructed his driver, Patrick, to pull over to the side of the road. Ferdinand let out a shaky breath, his hands trembling as he tried to calm his racing heart."Who was that shooter, Ferdinand?" Duke asked, his voice edge
Few days after the assassination attempt,Ferdinand's phone rang, and he picked up."Hey, Ferdinand, I've got some exciting news for you!" Duke's voice came through."Oh, Duke! What's the good news?" Ferdinand inquired."The Twilight Garden Bistro has been completely transformed! We've increased the building, hired fifty more workers, and expanded the menu!" Duke announced.Ferdinand's mouth dropped open as he extremely was surprised to hear the information. "Wow! That's amazing! How did all of that happen so quickly?" "Well, you know, with the right financial resources, anything is possible." Duke pointed out.Ferdinand nodded, "I'm thrilled to hear that! Thank you, Duke.""Oh, and there's more. Elizabeth has agreed to sign the paperwork. The restaurant is officially opening today. Will you be able to make it?" Duke inquired."I'm afraid I won't be able to attend Duke. Could you represent me instead? Please give my regards to Elizabeth." Ferdinand declined as he wasn't ready for his
Since it was the weekend, Serah had decided to visit her mother. She took a train to the destination.Her home was found in a quaint little town called Glasgow. Which nestled between rolling hills and whispering forests, where the sunsets painted the sky in hues of crimson and gold.Back then she and Ferdinand would play to their satisfaction as kids. A small white house stood surrounded by a garden blooming with vibrant flowers. This was where Serah's mother resided. After walking for a while, Serah finally arrived at her mother's doorstep, a smile lighting up her face as she dropped her bag which was in her hand. The door swung open, revealing her mother's face as she welcomed her daughter with open arms, "Serah, darling, it's so wonderful to see you! Come in, come in."Serah embraced her mother tightly before extending the bag towards her, "Mom, I brought something for you. Your favorite cookies."Her mother's eyes sparkled with delight as she peeked into the bag, "Oh, you know m
The Twilight Garden Bistro Restaurant was a sight to behold. As Grandma entered the restaurant, her eyes widened in amazement at the beauty that surrounded her. The elegant decor, soft lighting, and the fragrant scent of fresh flowers in the air took her breath away."Tom, this is too much," Grandma whispered, her voice filled with awe. "Can you afford all this?"Tom smiled reassuringly at his grandmother. "Don't worry, Grandma. Since the restaurant is new in town, they're offering a fifty percent discount for today."Grandma's eyes sparkled with delight as she followed Tom to the counter to book two family-sized tables for the birthday celebration. The customer service agent greeted them warmly and quoted a price of ten thousand dollars for the reservation.Tom's jaw dropped in shock. "But what about the fifty percent discount?" he asked, his voice tinged with confusion.The customer service agent shook their head. "I'm sorry, sir. There's no fifty percent discount promotion currentl
The music thumped loudly in the air as Ferdinand and his friends sat at the front row, enjoying the beats coming from DJ Rocket's set. The atmosphere was electric, with lights flashing and people dancing all around them. They were having a great time, laughing and chatting amongst themselves about how talented DJ Rocket was."I can't believe how good he is," Tom shouted over the music, a wide grin on his face. "This party is amazing!"Josh nodded in agreement, taking a sip of his drink. "Yeah, Roi Delacruz really knows how to throw a party. This is epic."Frank raised his glass in a toast. "To DJ Rocket! The best in the business!"Just then, their conversation was interrupted by two people approaching their table. It was Demain and Serah, two snobbish acquaintances of Ferdinand who had always looked down on him and his friends."Hey there, church rats," Demain sneered, looking down at them with disdain. "What are you doing sitting up here? You don't belong in the front row."Ferdinand
The Hawthorne mansion was ablaze with lights and music, the air filled with laughter and excitement as the guests flooded in for the birthday celebration of Mr. Hawthorne's grandson. The opulent estate gave out an air of luxury and sophistication, with extravagant decorations at every corner.Ferdinand, as planned, had chosen to dress in casual attire for the occasion. He stood with his three friends, enjoying the festivities and chatting with each other.As Damien and Sarah made their entrance, they caught sight of Ferdinand and his friends. Damien's expression darkened, and with a swift stride, he approached Ferdinand and pushed a glass from a nearby table, causing it to shatter on the floor, catching everyone's attention.Then he pointed at Ferdinand and said, " Look what you've done, you fool.""Why are you here, Ferdinand?" Damien spat out, his tone dripping with disdain. " Seems like your and your broke ass friends have the habit of showing up at fancy parties which are way ab
As Damien faced Ferdinand to offer his apology in front of the gathering crowd, the anger in him boiled to its extreme.' I can't believe I am apologizing to this piece of shit.' Damien murmured to himself.' I am only doing this so you grant my father the transportation contract.' he further consoled himself.Damien bowed his head before Ferdinand, and apologized," I am truly sorry for the way I have behaved towards you, I promise it will never repeat itself." He said." As you say, it should never repeat itself. You shouldn't even bully any other person.To have money and power is not a licence to bully others, is this clear, Damien?" Ferdinand questioned with a firm voice.' I can't believe the nerve of this piece of shit.' Damien said to himself as he hesitated to answer, trying to control his anger." Is there a problem with your voice?" Ferdinand questioned with a grin." No, everything is clear." Damien replied." And just so you know, the contract won't be granted to you or yo
The sun was really hot in the desert, making the sand shining under the sun. Blake and his team were standing outside a big bank in the Sahara desert. It was strange to see a bank in the middle of all that sand. The bank belonged to a gang called the Treble mafia, and they were there to get something for the boss. Steve was sitting in a van with the rest of the team, watching the security cameras while Blake was getting ready to go in.The Don had announced that anyone who retrieved a particular artifact from the Treble Mafia Gangs, then he will be made the next occupant of The Don's sit at the mafia table. "It's super hot today, but we've got a job to do," Blake said adjusting his sunglasses."I've got your back, boss," Steve replied on the radio, keeping an eye on the cameras.As Blake went inside, the rest of the team got ready for anything that might happen outside. When Blake set off the bank's alarm, their quiet sneaky plan turned into a big fight.“Take 'em down, Blake! St
"What the hell? Who are these bunch of nobodies? Do you know who you are messing with?" Zambora asked as he stood up from the ground.Blake and Steve decided to take off their disguise.Zambora chuckled when he saw both of them." So it's you guys? Have you come to save Cynthia? Hope you have brought the rest of my money, or else no one is leaving this place alive." He threatened."We won't be paying you, and you will be the only one dying here tonight," Blake said in a cold tone.Cynthia immediately left Zambora's side and ran towards Steve and Blake." You'll have to kill Zambora. Don't let him live. And when you are done, you must take over his base.This way, your new identity will be praised all over Ozark." Hades explained.Blake never wanted Cynthia to see the monster side of him, so he turned to Steve and requested, "Steve, go with Cynthia, I'll handle him." Steve nodded and he led Cynthia out of the room.Zambora immediately took out his gun and pointed it at Blake." Since y
" If you intervene now, you will call a lot of attention to yourself and Kai will soon find you." Hades explained." But I don't care about that." Blake complained." I know, but we need to act smart if we want to win this war. However, I don't plan to leave Cynthia in the hands of the Axe gang.You will have to change your identity and disguise yourself before carrying out any operation from now on.With that said, your quest tonight is to save Cynthia before the sun rises. Failure to do so, you will meet death. The chosen one of the golden hand must not be weak." Hades concluded.As uncle Martin stood there in tears, Blake placed his hand on his shoulder and said, " don't worry old man, I promise to bring her back to you by tomorrow morning."Uncle Martin looked at Blake, surprised." How do you plan to do that?" He asked.Blake smiled," just trust me."Steve understood what Blake meant as he had witnessed Blake's powers first hand, but uncle Martin was uncertain." Blake, I apprecia
Blake approached Cynthia, and greeted,"hey." Cynthia blushed and shyly avoided his eyes as he greeted her back."Hey, Blake How did you sleep?" asked Blake, trying to start a conversation."I slept okay, thanks. And you?" responded Blake politely."I slept well too," she responded.Since Blake would be living as a guest at Cynthia's home, he decided to be helpful. "Do you need any help?" he inquired. "Oh, I'm just finishing up here, but if you'd like, you could join me at the pig farm," Cynthia suggested."Sure,"Blake smiled.As they entered, they were greeted by the playful oinks and snorts of the pigs. The farm was muddy, and the pigs were happily rolling around in the slop.This was a life Blake hadn't experienced all his life, so he decided to enjoy it.He noticed a cute piglet and tried to pet it, but it playfully sprayed him with mud. Blake pushed the piglet away to make it stop, and the piglet felt offended by this and ran up to its mother, squealing.A few seconds later, B
Blake and Steve finally arrived at the police station, and they hurriedly stepped out of the car and headed inside. Approaching the officer at the reception, they greeted him with a polite "Good day, officer.""Good day," the officer replied, looking up from his desk. "How can I help you gentlemen today?"Blake took a deep breath before responding, "We're here to seek refuge because some people are after our lives."The officer's eyebrows furrowed in concern as he asked, "Who are these people?""They are assassins sent by my uncle, Kai," Blake replied grimly.The officer's reaction to hearing the name Kai was somehow suspicious. "And your name?" The officer asked."Blake Thomson." Blake replied.Without revealing much emotion, the officer told Blake, "I need to make a call. Please wait here; I'll be back shortly."As the officer walked away to another table and picked up a fixed phone to make his call, Blake's instincts kicked in. He felt a sense of unease creeping over him. His se
"Go ahead, say it." Blake demanded." First of all, I want to apologize for what I did back at the company." Steve began." What did you do?" Blake asked curiously."Kai made me do it. He threatened to fire me if didn't delete the evidence about Kira's fake act." Steve confessed.At this point, Blake's anger was boiling red. " What did you just say? Do you know what you did to me?" He yelled."I know, I am sorry Blake, I don't know how I'll ever make up for this mistake, but that's not all I came here for. I have something to show you." Steve said as he took out his laptop.He loaded a video, and it showed CCTV footage of Kai and Zara planning to kill Blake." Your life is in danger, Blake, and I suggest you leave town immediately. Given that Kai is one of the big six mafia bosses on earth, I suggest that you leave planet earth." Steve suggested." Where will I get the funds to board a spaceship?" Blake asked, and all of a sudden, a knock was heard outside of the door.Blake placed hi
Blake decided to go back to the spot where his dead parents once lay.As he looked at the picture, he traced the direction where his father's finger was pointing.The direction led him to a particular spot on the wall which had some cracks there, indicating that there was a hidden hole on the wall.When he opened it, he saw a strange box inside, and inside the box he saw a strange glove.Somehow he realized that he had seen the glove somewhere before, then he remembered that he had seen his grandfather wearing it in one of his old photos.And also, he had seen his great grandfather wearing one in his photos too. It looked like some family inheritance passed down from generation to generation, but he wondered why he had never seen his father wearing it, and why his father had never shown him before.As he looked at the glove, he felt drawn to it, and he decided to try it on, to see what it could do, though he found it strange that the glove was only available for his left hand.He to
Kai stormed into the surveillance room where Steve was monitoring the numerous screens displaying different sections of the premises. Steve turned around knowing that whatever Kai came there for wasn't good."Steve, are the cameras in the manager's room functioning properly?" Kai asked impatiently.Steve nodded, "yes sir, they are working fine."Kai's expression turned serious as he leaned in closer to Steve. "Did you see what happened in the manager's office just now?"Steve hesitated for a moment before replying fearfully. "Yes, I saw everything." Kai's eyes narrowed and a fierce look appeared on his face.he leaned back and crossed his arms. "If you want to keep your job, you'll do as I say. Delete the footage from the manager's office and tell everyone that the camera was faulty, so nothing was recorded." He threatened.Steve hesitated, his expression conflicted as he weighed his options. With a heavy sigh, he gave in to Kai's demands, his fingers swiftly deleting the evidence
The next day, Blake carefully chose a sharp suit because he knew he needed to look like a boss, or better still, one of the big six.As he stepped out the door, he arranged his tie and nodded his head. "Today's gonna be a great day." He smiled. But just then…"Good morning Mr Blake, you look good, going somewhere?" Martha's voice greeted from her backyard.Blake's smile quickly faded as he sighed. He couldn't blame Martha for being so nosey because she lived alone with her angry cat."Good morning Mrs Martha, good to see you too, and yes I am going somewhere, see you." Blake quickly left to avoid further questions."Wait… I… I wanted to… oh boy, there he goes again. I wanted to tell him that I had some breakfast to spare." Martha shook her head as she went back in. Blake quickly headed to the Thomson Company, his mind focused on the impending handover. Because he couldn't wait to take over his father's company, he almost entered Kai's office without knocking again.But he controll
