Ferdinand couldn't contain his excitement as he dashed into the refreshing ocean water, the waves crashing against his body in a playful dance. Anabel watched from the shore, hesitant, shivering at the thought of the icy embrace of the sea.Ferdinand, noticing Anabel's uncertainty, reached out his hand with a warm smile. "Come on, Anabel. Let's enjoy the ocean together. I promise it's not as cold as it looks."Taking a deep breath, Anabel nodded and let Ferdinand lead her into the water, the chill gradually giving way to the exhilarating sensation of the sea surrounding them.Splashing around and laughing, they absorbed the sun's warmth.Anabel sighed contentedly, "It feels amazing to escape the office for a change. I needed this."Spotting a tall coconut tree swaying in the distance, Ferdinand turned to Anabel with a mischievous grin. "How about some fresh coconut water? I can get us some."Anabel's eyes lit up with excitement. "Yes, please! I'd love that."Ferdinand jogged towards
Damien stood there for a while, his eyes wide in horror. He looked down and saw blood. But the blood wasn't coming from another person. It was coming out from his own stomach. The bullet penetrated from his back all the way through his stomach.He placed his hand on it and looked at his palm and confirmed that it was blood, before he collapsed to the ground.Mr. X had seen Damien trying to kill Ferdinand, which was something he suspected that could happen, so he swiftly raised his gun,his cold eyes betraying no hint of emotion, then he shot Damien, who fell lifeless to the ground. With a cruel smirk, Mr. X approached Damien's body and spat on it, muttering, "As hot-headed as his father, just as foolish." "You see, Ferdinand," Mr. X sneered, turning to Ferdinand, who was tied to a chair."Some traits run in the family. You and your grandfather had always been stubborn, lucky, but always a step behind."Ferdinand's eyes widened in fear, realizing the grave situation he was in, trapp
Ferdinand returned home with Harriett, since she said she had nowhere to go, and too, Ferdinand owed her his life.As he entered the Hawthorne mansion, Grandpa, friends of the Hawthorne family, along with a few loyal staff members, anxiously awaited Ferdinand's return. The mood was quite serious as everyone understood how serious the situation was. Harriett felt a bit awkward as she chose to stand near the entrance because she didn't feel like she belonged in such a fancy place.Grandpa Hawthorne approached Ferdinand with a mix of relief and concern. "Ferdinand, my boy, you're back!" He said as he hugged Ferdinand tightly, almost lifting him up. Then he paused and checked if he would see Anabel, but instead, he saw a shy looking girl at the entrance."Who is this young lady with you?" he asked.Ferdinand sighed, his expression heavy with the weight of the ordeal. "This is Harriett, Grandpa. She's the reason I'm standing here today. She was a servant in Damien's father's mansion, w
The night was dark and silent as Mr. X peered through his binoculars, observing the movement outside the abandoned warehouse. His keen eyes caught sight of Ferdinand arriving alone, just as instructed. " There you go, good boy."He smirked to himself, knowing that his plans were falling into place.As Ferdinand entered the dimly lit warehouse, he couldn't shake off an uneasy feeling creeping up his spine. The interior was shrouded in shadows, casting a spooky atmosphere over the space. Mr. X emerged from the darkness, his expression unreadable as he demanded the papers from Ferdinand without delay.But Ferdinand's gaze darted around the room, searching for a familiar face. "Where is Anabel? I want to see her first," he insisted, his voice laced with concern.Mr. X's lips curled into a cruel smile as he gestured towards a figure bound to a chair, blindfolded. "There she is, as you requested," he stated coldly.Ferdinand rushed towards Anabel, his heart pounding with fear and worry. "
At Serah's house, It was mother and daughter time as they were engrossed in a TV show, enjoying a light hearted comedy. Suddenly, an urgent news bulletin interrupted the program, showing disturbing images of a dead body identified as Damien's. Serah's expression turned from intrigue to shock as she registered the news.Serah's Mother noticed her reaction and asked. "Serah, what's wrong? Why are you reacting like this?""Mom, that's Damien... He was my boyfriend." Serah replied in horror.Serah's mother felt surprised, because she had never seen Damien before, only to see his dead picture now. But whatever the case, she never liked Damien anyway."So why are you behaving that way? Have you forgotten what he did to you?" Serah's mother raised her brows, staring curiously at her.Serah's shoulders dropped. "I... I still had some feelings for him, Mom. It's complicated."" What are you saying? Can you hear yourself?" Her mother asked in disbelief.Before Serah could reply, another dis
Few days after…This day, there was chaos all over the city as the police were out on the hunt.A sense of unease settled over the residents, who had been following the dramatic story of the notorious criminal Shawn Martin, also known as Mr. X. The news had just broken that he had escaped from jail, and now the city was on high alert, fearing that he would strike again.But amidst the chaos and fear, life went on as usual for most people. One such person was Ferdinand. But as Ferdinand sat at the top floor of the Hawthorne mansion, overlooking the sprawling city below, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. He knew that it was only a matter of time before Mr. X tried to exact his revenge, and he was determined to do everything in his power to protect his loved ones from harm.But as he pondered his next move, he was suddenly interrupted by the unexpected arrival of a visitor he hadn't seen for a long time: Serah.As Serah stood in the doorway of the mansion, her eyes filled
The next morning, Anabel couldn't shake off the events of the previous night, the nagging feeling of unease still lingering in the back of her mind. She decided to confront Ferdinand about Serah's behavior, determined to get to the bottom of the matter."Ferdinand, we need to talk about Serah," Anabel began as they sat together in the study, the morning sunlight streaming through the windows.Ferdinand looked up from his papers, his brow furrowing in concern as he sensed the seriousness in Anabel's tone. "What is it, my love? Has something happened?"Anabel recounted the events of the previous night, her words measured and precise as she described catching Serah in Ferdinand's office. She voiced her suspicions and concerns, seeking answers from Ferdinand.Ferdinand listened attentively, his expression thoughtful as he processed Anabel's words. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke calmly, "Anabel, I understand your worries. But I assure you, Serah has nothing to hide. She is si
As his grandfather began to speak, Ferdinand listened intently, his eyes widening with shock and disbelief as he learned the truth about what had happened all those years ago."Long ago, Shawn was a partner of mine in one of my organizations," his grandfather started."But in secret, he was practicing document and signature forgery, and he wanted to steal my business documents and put all the Hawthorne companies under his name."Ferdinand gasped, his eyes widening with shock and disbelief as he realized the true extent of Shawn's treachery and deceit."But I caught him, Ferdinand," his grandfather said with pride. "I caught him red handed, and I reported to the authorities, then they had him thrown in prison for fifteen years."Ferdinand nodded his head, his eyes filled with a sense of admiration and respect for his grandfather's strength and courage."As compensation for the damages he caused, I was given his share of the company by the court… And I've been running it ever since, wi
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
