He angled his glance toward Quincy and his heart could not bear the agony.“Oh! My Quincy!”“No!”“No!”“Quincy! Please, you can't die.”“Please, wake up.”“No!” Dexter’s scream shattered the momentary silence as he wailed in despair, his heart torn in two pieces. He could feel a force drive into his heart at the sight of Quincy’s still and lifeless body.Quincy slumped to the floor as the hitman baring the gun changed the direction of his hand suddenly towards her before pulling the trigger. Her lifeless body slumped to the floor and blood was pooling around her - the smell of death filling the air.The hitmen lifted their voices in unison in an unholy chorus as they chanted in dark languages, their eyes death-filled.“Power to the Kazitanis!” One of the hitmen raised his voice with his fist in the air while the others responded in unison.“Power!”The hitman who shot Quincy passed the gun to Vanessa signaling for her to do the needful by putting a bullet to Dexter.Ronny watched wit

Camille lowered her eyes, her face a study of embarrassment.“Don't worry about her Grandpa. Let's just say that she is someone who played a huge role in ensuring that you are here.”Grandpa Leonard paced his gaze back and forth to get a good sense of his surroundings. He started trying to recall how he got to be hospitalized in the first place.“How long have I been unconscious?” he asked as he was recalling little by little what happened to him before the accident.“Well, Grandpa, it's been 3 days now,” Paul responded. “We are on the way to celebrate your 75th birthday when—-”“Oh, I remember now…I remember,” Grandpa Leonard butted in, and this time Paul dropped the glass cup when he saw that Grandpa Leonard was still hesitant. Paul heaved a sigh of relief. At least his memories were still intact, he thought.“I was also badly wounded from the accident so I couldn't ensure that you were given a private treatment on time.”“Oh, I understand, Paul. You have done so well.”Grandpa Leo

Mr. Timber favored one leg as he walked, his expression a mask of discomfort. Even though Mr. Timber tried to hide the injury, it was obvious that his footsteps were uneven.Paul’s thought traced back to the last time they met. He was doing fine then and nothing was wrong with his legs but what changed?He then remembered how he escaped the hospital. He recalled that there was an accident involving a second patrol vehicle after he had escaped the tree trunk expertly with Camille. Could that be why he was laughing? Paul knew that there was a high chance that he was inside the patrol vehicle.Yippee! Paul rejoiced inwardly. There was no need to provoke him any further. His limping legs were going to be more than enough for him to have his face reddened with anger. Paul kept clicking the glass cup and even though it got the attention of those around him, it didn't get his intended target - Mr. Timber.Another idea crossed Paul’s mind.He stood up with a glass of wine held in his hand, h

A lot of investors felt comfortable with the image that Grandmaster Leonard had created for the syndicate.The guests slowly put their hands together in applause as they paced their heads back and forth looking for Paul.Mr. Timber seemed like the most surprising of all. His expression was a mixture of disbelief and horror as he struggled to comprehend what was going on.He pinched himself on his lap to be sure that he wasn't in a dream. Was it the same Paul he slapped at the hospital a few days ago that was now announced as the head of the syndicate? Was it the same Paul who he knew as the errand boy of the Winstons? So, Paul was truly a grandson of the grandmaster Leonard.Sweat started dropping off Mr. Timber’s face because he knew that Paul being in charge spelled doom for him. ‘No, this can't be true. I can't believe this stunt just yet,’ he thought as he was still in denial of reality.It was a huge stone for him to swallow.“Before I welcome him onto the stage, I have to say t

“You heard me right. You should go kneel to him right now,” Emma reaffirmed, her gaze fixed on Timber.“Are you aware of how embarrassing it is for me to do what you are asking me?”Emma butted in immediately. “No, the real question is if you are aware of how dangerous it is that we leave here without signing the contract.”Timber furrowed his brow in contemplation as Emma continued.“We would totally become bankrupt. Is this what your father would have expected from you if he were to be alive.”“But father is not here now, is he?” Timber hunched in embarrassment.“Yes, he is not here and that is why you have to take charge. Right now you are messing everything up which is not what father would have wanted,” Emma retorted.“Okay, okay, Mum, it's okay. I get it. I messed up okay? I messed up and I am going to make it right,” Timber uttered, his eyes dull in despair.“Very good, now is the time to make it right,” Emma affirmed.Timber’s mind raced with a storm of thoughts, his body tens

**A drop of tears escaped Miriam’s eyes as she recalled the beautiful moment with her father. The fact that her father always called her his little hero made her feel encouraged and devastated at the same time. She wished Mr. Zendaya was still alive. She had always tried to hide the pain in her heart but a sudden sense of revenge was digging up the pain again.Her eyes were aflame with rage and her lips twisted in a sneer of contempt.Her interview with Dexter made her feel closer to finding out the people who murdered her parents - at least she knew that they belonged to an organization or cult. All she had to do was to figure out who exactly was responsible for her parent’s murder.She could feel it in her bones that the person was still alive.The name of one of the informants Dexter exposed was Jordyn Serfa.But she remembered that Dexter could still give her more information.She picked up her landline to call her assistant who came into her office immediately.“Have Dexter com

“What? Wha—” Mr. Hodson’s eyes were wide in wonder. Things were getting too heated and even though he seemed up to the task in his last statement, he was beginning to fold.“I said get out!” Miriam roared again, her voice loudly traveling out of her office.Mr. Hodson had seen enough. His body was stiff in terror and his mind shook with panic. In an instant, he jolted out of his seat and reached for the door, his movement slow and calculated as he got out.Miriam banged her right hand on her seat so loudly in anger, the files on her desk feeling the force coming from the hit as they flew away in pieces.Miriam soon after bowed and buried her head in her hands as if she had just come to a realization that she acted very weirdly. Tears began to come off her face as her eyes were downcast. She screamed at the top of her voice as if she was letting out something inside of her that she had piled up inside of her for so long.Of course, she knew that she had overreacted with Mr. Hodson. Sh

"Oh, I am sorry ma’am but it was delicate for me to leave what I was doing unfinished," Ms. Serfa responded.Miriam’s face reddened as she wanted to interrogate further but she calmed her nerves. That was not the plan. She wanted to be extremely nice to her because of her plan. She couldn't afford to let her know about the boiling rage inside of her.“Alright, it is actually not a problem. I thought as much that you must be very busy. I rate you very highly, Ms. Serfa,” Miriam remarked, her lips curved in a brief plastic smile.“Oh, thank you, Ms. Zendaya,” Ms. Serfa responded.“Please, do have a seat,” Miriam offered and Jordyn Serfa took her seat.“You know, sometimes I wonder how you guys at the production department cope with the stress and everything. It must be very stressful at times, isn't it?” Miriam asked.She was trying to establish a rapport between herself and Ms. Serfa.“Oh, yes. Sometimes, it can be a handful but I guess that is why we were trusted with the job that we

Paul who was darting from side to side in confusion soon saw a figure in front of him. His ropes were cut off a lightning speed as he was escorted out of the hall by a figure.Paul gasped in shock when he saw the figure that had come to protect him.“Dane Michaelson?!” Paul gasped in surprise. “Is this you? What are you doing?”Dane Michaelson was Paul’s long-term friend and high schoolmate who had always been like a guardian angel to him. He always protected Paul from bullies when he was in high school and even had a young age, Dane Michaelson had impressive fighting skills that he used to defeat anyone who came across him to defy him or any of his friends. Paul learned a few fighting skills from Dane but their friendship was put to a halt when Dane had to travel far away for a scholarship. He promised that he was going to be back though and that he would always keep an eye on him.“I told you that I would be back for you, didn't I?” Dane spoke in a hurried tone, his words coming o

He didn’t want Grandpa Leonard to suffer more than he already had and he was feeling as though he should have done more to protect Grandpa Leonard.Grandpa Leonard was also tied with bonds to the wheelchair and his face was set in a mask of grim determination as he endured the agony, his eyes narrowed with focus against the torrent of pain.“I am the head of the Imperial Society Syndicate, not him,” Pail spoke, trying to defend Grandpa Leonard.“Son, do not worry about me. This is not the time to speak of vain things,” Grandpa Leonard spoke sternly as if to tell Paul not to worry about him.The Red Witch erupted in a burst of laughter that echoed through the hall, her expression twisted into a malicious smile as she took pleasure in her evil deeds. It brought her so much joy to see Paul and Grandpa Leonard sit side-by-side and have their faces contorted with grief.Her smile curved into a malicious grin as she turned towards Paul. “Long time, no see Paul Leonard. Don’t tell me that yo

Paul could hear their voices and it was mixed with laughter and merriment. The stench of alcohol filled the place and Paul was wondering if it was the same person that was tied to a chair that everyone was celebrating about.But there was something else that caught Paul’s interest. He kept hearing them call out a Red Witch. He had heard the word more than twice already since his eyes fluttered open and from the conversation that his ears were able to pick, it seemed as if the Red Witch wasn’t just an ordinary person.It could be one of their leaders, he thought. Or could it be the person that was assigned to kill him and render whatever punishment they had against him?Paul was suddenly shocked when he received a huge flow of water attacking him on his face. He spluttered and shuddered as his body shook violently, expelling the water from his lungs. His throat was constructed painfully as he tried to draw breath. He shook his face repeatedly so that the water could fall off his face a

Sarah couldn’t help but defend herself. She wasn’t just going to keep quiet and allow things to happen to her. She had to speak up and defend herself, she thought.“I brought the antidote that is now the reason why you are alive. I suffered a lot and risked a lot to get the antidote. I had an agreement with Janet, Frank, and Thomas but they haven’t told me anything,” Sarah stammered in panic, her words tumbling out rapidly as she tried to explain herself. “I don’t deserve this treatment and I don’t understand why you have to force me here as if I shouldn’t be one of the partakers of the good things of Winston Corporation. If you knew what I did to get the antidote for you, you probably wouldn’t be treating me this way. What else do I have to do to prove that I deserve my previous position back.”Janet retorted. “Liar! Liar! You cannot get your previous position back. You are a rotten piece of dirt!l Janet retorted.”Janet was always upset by the fact that Sarah was desperate to get h

Sarah’s voice was breaking because she wondered what she said that was wrong. “Y-e-s.”“What?!” Arianna fumed. “What exactly are you still doing at the inner chamber? You have already made the mistake of giving them the antidote but what business do you still have there?”“I just think that maybe they would—-” Sarah’s voice was breaking with tension.Arianna spoke over her in a loud frothing. “You think what exactly? What exactly do you think? Are you still delusional enough to think that Lady Winston would give you the requests that you asked for?”Arianna’s tone was insistent and her expression furious as she rendered a warning. “What exactly are you still there for when they have already shown you the writing on the wall? Oh my goodness!”“You had better start running away from there because if the history of your family’s wickedness is anything to go by, then it won’t be long until they arrest you and even do much worse to you than they wanted to do before. Do you think Lady Winst

Arianna’s voice was tinged with a hint of unease as she tried to communicate her fears. “Doctor Lopez? Wait, don’t tell me that you tried to get the antidote from him to help Lady Winston.”Sarah bit her lips again because she didn’t know how to answer the question. “That’s exactly what I did,” she finally spoke out.“My goodness!” Arianna spoke out loud, her voice ringing with a loud echo from the phone as she conveyed her disappointment. “I thought that Paul already gave you a new and improved job. What happened that would make you go back to the same mess that you were coming from.”“I just couldn’t find it comfortable there. I couldn’t stop thinking about Winston Corporation. I thought that I felt at home at Winston Corporation,” Sarah attempted to justify herself, her voice faltering because she realized the fault in her argument.“Can you even listen to yourself?” Arianna seethed, her voice rising with a cold anger and tinged with disappointment. “You are somehow trying to justi

“Do you really think that I will listen to her deceits? She has seen that Paul can do no good for her and now she wants to return to where she made a life. Oh, how foolish does she think we would be.”“In any case, I am glad that she came right into our hands because now she will get the punishment that she escaped narrowly before. Who would have thought that she would come right under our nose so easily for us to dismantle her.”Janet's cheek flushed with happiness as she smiled brightly, her eyes shining with excitement.Of course, neither she nor her brothers had the intention of fulfilling the pact that they had with Sarah. They were all trying to get the antidote and now that Lady Winston was back in a healthy condition, they could do away with Sarah. In fact, Frank and Thomas especially were expecting Lady Winston not to suspend the punishment that she had earlier placed on her.“Come to think of it. Where is she now? Where did she go? “ Lady Winston asked. They all turned the

She recalled that she had forgotten the gun that Arianna gave to her in Doctor Lopez’s office. That gun was the evidence that was going to stand against her if Doctor Lopez died. Her mind started reeling with desperate thoughts. What if she had committed murder all for nothing? Was she going to lose on both ends? How long was she going to keep foolishly trusting her family to back her up and then proving that they were always going to stab her in the back?An investigation was going to be carried out into what happened with Doctor Lopez, she reasoned. They were going to trace it to her and tell Paul about it. She couldn't imagine how disgusted Paul was going to feel to learn that she had betrayed him even much more intentionally this time.The inner chamber had high ceilings adorned with intricate carvings. The walls were lined with tapestries and brilliant decorations conveying a sense of power and prestige. Frank and Thomas led Lady Winston until she reclined on a sumptuous chair

Lady Winston soon spoke, her words drowned with fatigue and her speech slow and deliberate as she feigned an extra bit of tiredness. “Hello everyone. I appreciate that you have all come here to witness this moment. I appreciate all those whose prayers and thoughts have been with me.”“But as you can see, I am recovering from a very delicate condition that would require that I have a long rest so I will be accompanied by my family - Frank, Thomas, Estevan, and Janet who I am sure must have been working day and night to ensure that I am back to normalcy.”The employees all erupted in applause, their faces contorted with nervousness as they gradually returned to their duty posts.Sarah’s expression was glazed, her eyes unfocused and her mouth hanging slightly open as she stared blankly, her features slack with confusion. Her haze was disoriented as she stared back and forth, her expression clouded with confusion and uncertainty. The applause was like a torment to her because it was cons
