Exiting the mansion, Scott headed straight home. He lacked the monet to use public transport since he left his debit card at home due to rush, so he ended up treking.
While walking through the street under the afternoon sun, Scott began to ponder on just how he would dig out some evidence that would prove his innocence to Mr. Fernando.He was certain that Pedro planted that object in his locker just to frame him and prevent the wedding, but with no concrete evidence no one would believe him.And to make matters worse, he only has 10 days to fulfill the task.'I can't let the wedding being called off. I still need to get married into that family so i could watch them from the inside.' Scott pondered, walking through the street with his hands tucked in his pockets.The only reason why he came into the country, disguising as Scott, was to investigate a certain family. And that family was the Fernando family.He had suspected the family to be the cause of his father and little sister's death that happened months ago, but he needed evidence to prove they were guilty.Mr. Fernando worked under his father in his company, until his father built another company in this country and assigned it unto Mr. Fernando. Mr. Fernando must have hired gang to kill him because his father was shot immediately he got to the airport, and his little sister also got shot.No one knew who shot the bullet, but it couldn't be a coincidence that the day his father went to the country to fire Mr. Fernando, that's also the day he died.'I just need to gather more info on them. And getting married to Caroline is the perfect way for me to carry out my plan. She thinks i'm a fool and i don't know she cheats on me with Pedro?' Scott intoned with a grin on his face.He remembered one night when he caught Pedro banging Caroline, but he chose to turn a blind eye and ignore it.'I wonder why she is also pretending to love me. Why does she keep fighting with Pedro and her family when she knows she doesn't love me?' Scott mused in confusion. The way Caroline defenfed him infront of her family, even when she is cheating on him, made him wonder why.When someone is cheating on someone means she doesn't love him again. Why then is she fighting to get married to him?'Well, it doesn't matter.' Scott chose to ignore the matter and took another turn to a new broad street. The street was quite broad and empty, but the sound of a girl whimpering cohld be heard meters away.'What's that noise?' Scott pondered, increasing his pace as he headed towards the sound. Upon getting there, he found a single thug that had tattoos all over his body molesting a girl and she was beghing for her life with tears streaming down her eyes."Jusr shut up and stop struggling!" The thug voiced out, grabbing her two arms with a single hand and using his other hand to undress her.Scott emanined the situation for few minutes before glancinh at the floor and saw a metal bar. He picked it up and held it firmly with both hands."Let her go!" Scott voiced in a demanding tone, causing the thug and the girl to shift their gazes towards him."Get out of here, kid. There is nothing to see!" The thug sounded, ignoring Scott and continuing with his business."I said let her go!" Scott repeated,taking a step forward. This time, the thug let go of the girl and she fell to the ground, before turning around to face Scott."You got a death wish or what, kid?" The thug questioned, pulling out a knife from his pocket and holding it tightly in his hand. "You missed your chance of escaping, kid."Saying those words, the thug pulled his arm backwards and stabbed his knife forward towards Scott. Scott reacted by lifting up the iron bar and deflecting the knife.After successfully dodging the attack, Scott lifted up his leg and kicked the thug on the chest and he fell down to the floor. Before he could stand back up, Scott lifted up the solid iron bar and slammed it on the thug's head.The bar made impact with his head and knocked him down to the floor. Blood flowed out from his head and he laid down there motionless.Scott dropped the bar and began to pant heavily. He glanced at the thug on the ground and moved closer to him to examine him."Y-y-you killed him." The lady that was being molested earlier spoke in a shaky voice with her palm covering her mouth.She wasn't wrong. The thug was dead. Scott killed him.Scott picked up the knife which the thug wielded and examined the hilt. There was a drawing of a red skull which Scott recognized instantly.'He is apart of the Red skull gang.' Scott pondered with his heart racing. He placed the knife in his pocket and attempted to leave."W-where are you going?" The lady questioned."What do you mean where am i going? I am going home ofcourse." Scott responded, irritated by her question."What about me?" She asked,wiping thw tears off her eyes."What about you?" Scott responded with a question."Where am i going to go? This street is where i used to live, and now that you just killed a gang m...""Hey, listen up." Scott interrupted her. "Yes, i killed him. But it was out of self defense. If you ever mention anything to anyone, i will come for you too." Scott bluffed."I don't plan on telling anyone. But if the police or the gang finds me here they would force the information out of me. So please, help me." She pleaded, grabbing unto Scott's arm.Scott glanced at her and realized she was right. If he should leave without her, the police might show up and arrest her and then force the information out of her.So the best thing to do now was..."Come with me." Scott uttered.

A web of deceit
"Uhm..." Kelly stuttered, her voice barely steady. "Just a friend of mine. She was only calling to check up on me," she said with a weak smile.Scott observed her carefully for a moment, then gave a slow nod. "Ah, I see." He shifted his weight slightly. "I just came to tell you I’ll be heading out now. I have to check in at the company and also visit some of the leaders from the powerful houses. I still need more men and weapons."Kelly blinked in confusion. "Why do you need more men? The war is over, right? The leader is dead.""Yes, Mohammed Al-Shammari is dead…" Scott replied with measured clarity, "but there’s no guarantee his followers will back down. There's a real possibility they might retaliate. We need to remain vigilant and prepared at all times."Kelly gave a slow, acknowledging nod. "I see...""I’ve already informed Angela about what to do. She’ll take care of Edward, just like we agreed," Scott added, glancing toward the hallway. She nodded again in silence. "I'll take m
More time
Kelly stared at the screen of her phone for several moments, a puzzled expression etched deeply across her face.It was an unknown caller.She hesitated, her thumb hovering over the answer button, before finally pressing it."Hello, Kelly," a deep, familiar voice rumbled the moment she accepted the call.The sound of the voice sent shivers coursing down her spine. Her heart skipped a beat, and beads of cold sweat trickled down her temples, dampening her skin."You know who this is, don't you?" the voice asked with calm menace.Kelly didn’t answer right away.She let the words settle inside her like a weight before finally gulping down the lump in her throat and responding, her voice trembling, "You’re supposed to be dead. They said you were dead. How are you alive?""Yeah, they really thought they killed me," Mohammed bellowed with cold amusement. "How dumb of them to think they could get rid of me so easily.""But… how? How did you survive?" Kelly stammered, her voice now a low whisp
Is it over?
"I'm sure of it, boss. There's no way he survived the fall. I saw it with my own eyes. He's dead," Kael assured, after receiving nothing but silence from Scott.Scott still remained mute, his gaze fixed on the concrete floor, his head filled with thoughts.Mohammed dying today was the last thing he expected to happen. He never thought Kael and his men would be able to take him down… but somehow, they did.He wanted to believe they were lying, that they hadn’t actually killed him… but the rest of his men also assured him. They told him they witnessed it. They saw him go off the cliff and die.With the group of witnesses backing the story, he saw no reason not to believe the words they were saying.If he truly was dead, then the vendetta was over. He had won.This wasn’t the type of ending Scott had expected. In fact, he wasn’t expecting it to end any time soon… but it was truly over.He finally raised his head to meet Kael’s gaze.Scott placed his right hand on his shoulder and squeeze
Victory?
"A list? What's on the list?" Angela asked, curiosity evident in her eyes."Just one thing," Scott responded."And what's that?" she inquired."Kill a man," Scott replied instantly.Hearing those words from Scott, Angela’s eyes widened in shock.She opened her mouth to speak, but before she could utter a word, the entrance door of the office creaked open—and in stepped a man.He was clad in a white T-shirt, though it was so dirty it now looked brown. His trousers were torn, and his hair was unkempt, tangled into messy strands that hadn’t seen a comb in days.Scott stared at the man for a few long seconds, his brow furrowing as he tried to place the face. It took him a little while to recognize him.“Sullivan?” Scott blurted out in disbelief, rising to his feet.“Sullivan?” Angela repeated quietly to herself, her mind racing as she tried to recall where she had heard that name before—and when she had known him. A few moments later, the memory clicked into place. “Wait… the same guy who
Worry
Scott walked down the dimly lit hallway, and a few moments later, he arrived in front of his personal office. He pushed the door open and walked inside, then made his way toward his chair.He sat down in silence and folded his arms, his head filled with restless thoughts.Now that Matteo Montanari had agreed to help him—and had also given him his men, along with a promise to secure more soldiers and weapons from the houses under his command—Scott now held the upper hand against Mohammed Al-Shammari. He could easily launch an attack and end everything at once... but there was a problem.He had no idea where Mohammed’s base was located. All he knew was that they were somewhere in Italy, but he didn’t know the exact location.“Those bastards,” Scott cursed under his breath. “They know exactly where I am, where I’m going, and who I’m meeting... yet I have no idea where they are or what they’re planning. I might have more men and better weapons than they do, but all of it is useless when I
Survival at any cost
Screech!!!A loud screeching sound echoed as Scott's men hit the brakes and came to a halt a few paces away from the edge of the cliff. Kael leaped off the car and landed on the ground, his gun clenched tightly in his right hand as he advanced forward, making his way toward the edge.The rest of the men on top of their cars also leaped off and walked behind him. They all came to a halt at the cliff’s edge and glanced all the way down.“Is he insane or what?” one of the men in a black suit asked, his gaze fixed on the waters below. Mohammed’s car was barely visible. Only the top could be seen, and a few seconds later, the car was no longer visible as it sank into the water.“I knew he was a nut job, but I wasn’t actually expecting him to drive off a cliff,” another man muttered.“Do you think he’s dead?” he asked, turning toward Kael.“I don’t think he survived that,” Kael bellowed, his gaze never leaving the waters below. “He’s injured. There’s no way he’d be able to swim. We’d have s
