UNKNOWNOriginally he had planned to surprise Samantha with it on her birthday, but now it seemed that he might have to fast-track that idea. After cleaning up the table, he decided it was time to visit their new home and see how the renovations were looking. San Juan Creek was like a shining sword, splitting the new city into two. The villa he had bought was situated on a fine plot of land pie above the riverbank, like a king of the surrounding sending houses.Although it was a fine house among many in the complex, it had been placed commandingly above the other homes to emphasize its noble status.The gardens around the property were finely manicured and grant.As Brian pulled into the driveway, he rolled down his window to observe the busy workers renovating the property and grounds. His. thoughts drifted into daydreams of the time he would present this exquisite home to Samantha.“Well”, he was deep in thought. He heard the sound of a car horn in the drive behind him.The sound w
UNBELIEVABLEHe was devastated by the realization that he had tried to get rid of the owner of the house, someone even wealthier and more powerful than Mr. Viera.“Mr. Maxwell, I really didn't do it on purpose.I was just thinking about the safety of the house”. “If I had known that it was Mr. Maxwell's house, I wouldn't have dared to try to send him away”.“Please forgive me for this”.The contractor was extremely scared as he awaited his fate.Scott remembered that the cause of the incident was the unruly contractor. He slowly walked over and looked down at him. “You sure are brave. You even dared to kick Mr. Maxwell out”.The contractor said nervously. “Mr. Viera, it's all because of you that I've been so vigilant about the security of the place”.“Are you trying to put the blame on me?” Asked Scott.“Absolutely not, Mr. Viera”.The contractor was so disappointed that he was almost in tears.Brian walked over, padded Scott on the shoulder and said with a smile. “Forget it”’. The tru
PRETENCENick felt relieved and said.”Mr. Viera.Tell me what you wanted to speak to me about today”.Scott said.My father is part of a different generation and doesn't understand what we young people are after.Although everyone in San Clemente is afraid of me, there are also some people who gossip behind my back.They say that it is because of my father that I act so mighty and that if I wasn't his son, I wouldn't even deserve to lick their shoes.I don't want to be thought of just being my father's son.I wanted to make a name for myself and I want to become stronger”.Scott raised his voice as he was filled with righteous indignation.He continued.“People pretend to respect me, but I know that they just look down on me. Mr. Tomlins, don't tell me you also look down on me like that”. The truth was that Nick did look down on a Playboy like Scott and felt that he was different from him.Even though he had a powerful father, he disdained taking advantage of his position.But Nick Have been
DEJECTED“ I'm very sorry, Miss Ragnar.But you're not able to buy this house because it says here that the place already has another offer”. She was talking about Samantha , of course.However, Mrs. Ragnar was someone who is used to getting what she wanted.She would have a house if she wanted it, even if another client was agreed.When she heard that the house was already sold, her face darkened and she said, “I don't care if the place already has a buyer, that's your problem. I just want to buy the house”.The sales agent was frightened and quickly agreed. “Don't worry, all sorted out”.That was something Brian hadn't expected. He planned to buy the house secretly.Then when Samantha was out of options on where to live, he would show her the beautiful Riverside house he had bought and surprise her.But now there seemed to be a better solution.With Mrs. Ragnar wanting to buy the home, Samantha would have no choice but to admit defeat.He looked at the agent and said.“Since this lady
TRAP“Luckiest pub isn't too far from here, it's just half an hour's drive away”, said Jeffery.When they got there, Brian and Jeffrey split up.Jeffery was in charge of business talk with Nick, while Brian chose to get lost in the crowd and observe.He walked around casually while monitoring the enemy's situation.To his surprise, he found that Nick was planning an attack.A number of patrons at the restaurant were carrying concealed weapons.They were being watchful, as if waiting for orders to attack.Brian decided not to inform Jeffery.Imagine that Jeffery would have been too terrified to discover that dozens of people were surrounding him.A large meal with excellent wine had been laid out in a private room off the main dining area.Although Jeffrey had been confident when traveling to the meeting, he started to feel nervous when he saw the four bodyguards standing against the wall.“You're very generous, Mr. Tomlins. I don't see this kind of wine often”.“Well then you'll have to drin
POISONHe picked up a glass of water and tended to wash the pill down, but the sound of the door being kicked open stopped him in his tracks.Brian burst in and ran toward the bodyguard. He grabbed him by the neck and threw him across the room as if he was nothing more than a rag doll.He landed against the wall and fell to the floor. Nick shuddered.Ignoring the pain in his body, the bodyguards stood up, but rather than rush Brian in retaliation they were taken aback, the man turned to Nick. “Mr. Tomlins”, he said, his voice shaking. “I'm no match for this man. Nobody in the room is any match for him.He looked at Brian as if he were the devil, not immortal.“What did you say?” Asked Nick incredulously, kicking the bodyguard back to the floor. “There's one of him and several of you. How many more people do you need?”Although he thought of Brian as a useless man, he knew that his fighting skills were amazing. He knew that even if he had a dozen armed men, Brian would still beat them. T
DEATH TRAP“But don't worry, I only want Samantha. And once I get her, the company will be all yours”. He said.“Where does your confidence come from?”Jeffery asked. “Why would a big company like Sea Cloud Technology listen to you?”“Why do you think Sea Cloud approached you?” Asked Nick. “Its Because I told them to”.“What do you mean?” Asked jeffery, But deep down, he knew the answer.“Wait, let's see”, said Nick. “I could show you.But there's something else I'd like to do first”.He clapped his hands loudly and the door opened. Four enormous men walked in. Jeffery was no expert, but even he could tell that these men were quite happy to kill Anyone.They looked like they could crush an ordinary man if he were an Ant. Jeffery thought. Nick had seen his reaction then he said smoothly. “Don't look so afraid.These men have gone through special training.As long as you don't struggle, you definitely won't suffer anymore than you need to”.He smiled and glanced at Brian.Once Brian was dead
HOSTAGEWhile Scott was on his way over, Brian called Stone to help him clean up the mess.The fight had caused more than Jeffery had anticipated.Nick watched them as they were talking.He was starting to panic. “Are they going to ask me if I can take them to Duke?” He thought.“I don't think even they realize how easy that would be for me”.Nick said quietly while the men tidied up the room and dealt with the injured men.He started to think about why they wanted him to help them deal with Duke.His mind went back to his last meeting with his father.As they were told they had talked about, he suddenly realized something.One thing stood out during what had seemed like an ordinary conversation.His father had mentioned that Brian had given him a headache recently. “Does that mean my father has a grudge against the man?. he thought.He decided that he needed to do some digging. “What are you planning, Brian?” He asked. “What can I do to help you deal with Duke?”.What he didn't know was tha
