Sophia glanced at her phone for the third time in the last five minutes. She was getting anxious. Jackson had not answered any of her calls or texts since when he was arrested by the police she knew he was innocent, but she also knew that the justice system in this country was anything but fair, the Mills family held the justice system in the state by the balls, She had to find a way to get him out of there, before it was too late.Sophia decided to call Paul Mitch, He was a sleazy man and second in head only to his mother in Mitch’s family and he had a reputation for being a dirt pig. He had always made advances on her since she was promised to him, but she had always rejected him, she hated him, but she was desperate. Maybe he could help her get Jackson released from police custody, or at least find out where he was being held.She dialed his number and waited for him to pick up."Hello, Sophia. What a pleasant surprise," Paul said in a smug voice."Hi, Paul. I need your help wit
Sophia felt a wave of dizziness as she stood up from the table. She had just finished dinner with Paul, But something was wrong. She felt lightheaded and nauseous as if she had drunk too much. But she had only had one glass of wine, and she was usually good at holding her liquor. She wondered if the food had been bad, or if she had caught a bug.She looked at Paul, who was smiling at her. He took her hand and led her to the exit. He paid the bill and thanked the waiter. He seemed oblivious to her discomfort."Did you enjoy the dinner?" he asked."Yes, it was lovely. Thank you," Sophia said, trying to sound polite."I'm glad. You're very welcome. You know, you're even more beautiful tonight," he said, leaning closer to her.Sophia felt his breath on her ear and shivered. She didn't like the way Paul was touching her. Neither did she didn't like the way he was looking at her. She felt a surge of fear and regret. wishing she had never agreed to go out with him. Sophia wished she had s
Sophia woke up with a gasp, feeling a sharp pain in her chest. She blinked her eyes, trying to adjust to the bright light. She turned her head to see Jackson seated on a chair next to her bed. He was wearing a blue shirt and jeans, and his brown hair was tousled. He looked tired but relieved.He noticed her stirring and smiled. So, Jackson leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees and his chin on his hands. "Hey, you're awake," he said softly.Sophia felt a wave of panic hit her, not remembering where she was or what had happened. She looked around, seeing white walls, machines, and tubes. She realized she was in a hospital. She tried to sit up but felt dizzy and weak. She groaned, clutching her head.Jackson was by her side in an instant, sitting on the edge of the bed and holding her hands. "It's okay, you're safe now," he said, gently stroking her hair. "You're in the hospital. You had an accident last night."Sophia's eyes widened, as flashes of memory came back to her. Sh
Jackson walked down the hospital stairs and into the car and convoy parked outside like he owned the city. With the money, influence, and power he now controlled, it was safe to say Jackson did own the city. Pamela smirked as he entered the car, admiring his confident and handsome face. Jackson asked her “What?” as he noticed her expression. Pamela said “Nothing”, and was surprised to see Jackson acting this way towards Sophia.Jackson smiled and told the driver to start the car, the driver nodded and He started the car and drove away, followed by his loyal men in the other vehicles. Jackson felt on top of the world, now fully in control of “blade in shadow resources it was time to begin the plan he had been preparing for five years ago,Jackson knew what King Paul would entail and the many enemies that would come for him but he was ready.Alexander finished making the drinks and came out of the kitchen. He was wearing blue swimming trunks that showed off his toned body. He carrie
"Who..who are you?" Alexander demanded but the men didn't say a word, and he screamed "Do you know who you are dealing with, do you know who my father is?" The men just looked at each other and laughed, Ella just sat on the floor curled her legs in fear, trying to understand the situation of what was happening. She looked over at Alexander who was also cowering in fear.They knew who his father was. He was Mr. James Wills, the billionaire tycoon who owned half of the city but they didn't care."We don't care who your father is, Alexander, what we care about is you who think he could arrest my boss and you and your family don't what's coming, you guys think you own everything and anyone don't you,” one of the men said.Ella felt a surge of panic as she saw one of the men approaching Alexander. She had to do something, she had to save him. She looked around, searching for anything that could help them. She saw a fireplace poker lying on the floor, near the shattered glass of the windo
"I will call some people out to your place and try not to cause further damage you piece of shit, I thought you could handle responsibilities but it turns out I was wrong, and not mad at you just myself for thinking you are worth something" His dad blurted in anger.Alexander stared at his phone in disbelief. He felt useless because of his father’s words, growing up his father treated him like he didn't exist he was only loved by his mother, his father would often time scold his mother for loving him too much, his father would say “You are spoiling this boy” Every time his mother showed him any affection.Alexander’s mother died when he was ten leaving him in the cold hands of his father, who never showed him any affection or love, this made him have low self-esteem, and when he was now a teenager he wasn't the most attractive person and girls would often make fun of him, but he was the son of the most powerful man I'm the city so he had wealth at his disposal, so he used it to womani
Ella knew she didn't really love any of them, but they had money and power, which was what Ella yearned for having grown up in an abusive environment where she didnt have and control of herself but have to use her body to get what she wanted, she would seduce the men of the foster families that she went to, making the men give her money and property, destroying the peace of the home one by one like a plague, she wasn't proud of it but she needed to survive, some of the men didn't need her to seduce them for they would force himself on her. She would make them pay by blackmailing them and draining out all their money then reporting them to the police later on, the only people she would be sorry for are their wives but even some of the wives were mean to her and they deserved it, or so she thought,so she was a girl on a mission, and so she did.Ella cried the day she finally decided to divorce Jackson the only man she ever loved and still love but love to her was secondary she wanted p
The story of how the viper rose to power was sung like an anthem to anyone stupid enough to underestimate her.This is the tale, after the funeral of the Mitch family who opposed her was over, and the Viper was finally alone in her mansion. She walked to the balcony, where she could see the city skyline. She felt a wave of satisfaction as she thought about how far she had come.She had been born into a poor family and married off to a ruthless man who beat her and treated her like a slave. He was the head of the Mitch family, one of the most powerful families in the state. He had made his fortune by smuggling drugs, weapons, and human trafficking, but had a few legal businesses on the side he created using the money he got from the illegal ones, He had many enemies, especially the third family, the Rakes, who ran the state government and wanted to wipe out the Mitch family.The Viper had endured her husband's abuse for years, waiting for the right moment to strike. She had learned h
