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
The viper stood up and walked around the table, looking at their lifeless bodies. She felt no pity or remorse, only satisfaction. She had eliminated her rivals and enemies, and now she was the sole ruler of the empire. She had achieved her ultimate goal, and no one could stop her. She was the queen of snakes, and she had just bitten the heads off the other vipers.The Viper stood up and looked at the scene with satisfaction, she had eliminated all her rivals and secured her power. She turned to Paul, who looked at her with admiration and fear. She said, "Don't worry, my son. You are safe with me. You are the only one I love, the only one I trust. You are the heir of the Mitch family, and together, we will rule the state. Come, let us go. We have much to do."She took his hand and walked out of the dining hall, leaving behind the corpses of her family. She was the Viper, and she had struck again, she poured petrol over the mansion lit up a match stick, and burned it to the ground.T
Sophia had heard the news from one of their servants, who had rushed into the study with a pale and trembling face. He had told her father that there had been an accident on the road, that their car had skidded on the ice and crashed into a tree, the servant had told Mr Benedict that they were all dead.She couldn’t believe what she was hearing, and then a storm of grief swarmed in piercing the depth of her soul, yet she couldn’t scream or shout, that emotion struggled to show but she was shattered inside, she just stood there numb, she had wanted to see her father, to hug him and comfort him and be comforted by him, but he had locked himself in his room, refusing to see anyone. He became a cold and distant man thereafter, who barely spoke to her or looked at her. He had buried himself in his work, trying to forget his pain.Sophia had felt alone and abandoned. She had no one to talk to, no one to love, no one to love her. She had only her books and her chessboard, which had becom
