Two weeks after the shooting incident and Edwin was finally discharged from the hospital after recovering fully. His father sent two men to go pick him up at the hospital and drove him back till the Blackwood estate in their black Bentley..

After a few moments of driving, the Bentley pulled over in front of the mansion and the driver stepped out of the car and opened the door. Edwin emerged from the car majestically and made his way inside.

Walking into the mansion, Edwin was greeted with a slap on the head from behind, causing him to turn around. He saw a familiar guy wrap his arms around his neck and began to ruffle his hair aggressively.

"Welcome back, you bastard." Roderick greeted with his arm around Edwin's neck. "How are you feeling, brother?" He asked.

"Uh..I'm good. All good." Edwin affirmed.

"That's good." Roderick said. "Father needs us in the meeting room. He wants to inform is about something important."

"Can't I pass? I literally just got back from the hospital." Edwin

    A young man clad in black suit and long black coat with a black hat on his head could be seen walking down the bustling street of Newcastle with a briefcase in his right hand. The street was filled with children playing around here and there, and men working in their small workshops. The man walked through the street majestically, his hat covering the top half of his face, and as he traversed forward the mothers around swiftly carried their children and hid them in their shops. Anyone that saw the man in black became terrified, and heir heart raced.The man, on the other hand, paid no attention to the people around as he carried on walking. After walking for a few moments he finally arrived in a pub. He pushed the door open and stepped inside. Stepping into the pub, he glanced around the place. The pub was crowded with people drinking and chatting away with their partners. He glanced around the place for a few moments before voicing out, "All of you, leave this place at once!" Oswa

She asked, her tone was calm yet serious.Oswald leaned forward and placed his hands on the table, "I want you to use your family as a bait." He said audibly.Salma's eyes widened slightly after hearing the words of Oswald, "A bait? What do you mean?" She blurted out in shock."If I give you this drug your horse will definitely win the race. Winning the race will attract the attention of a lot of people. Several families will definitely place their bets on your horse in the next race after his incredible performance in the race.""Your family's name will be on every illegal newspapers and that alone will fetch you a lot of supporters.

Salma questioned, glancing at Oswald suspiciously.Oswald remained silent for a few moments after hearing the question of Salma, and he just sat there blowing smoke. After a few moments if silence he finly responded."My family is the reason why I am doing this. My father kind of banished me from the family after hearing the lies of my elder brother, I am only doing this to get him to accept me back into the family. I am sure he will understand that it is for the good of the family, nothing more." Oswald replied."So, you mean Herbert Blackwood has no idea you are going to make his horse lose the upcoming races?"

    The early morning sun rose and the rays flickered into the room and shone brightly into the eyes of Edwin, causing him to wake up from his slumber. He got of his bed and stretched his body while letting out a loud yawn. Edwin walked to the window and glanced outside. The compound of the mansion was already filled with the Blackwood's workers going about their daily activities. Even though it was still early in the morning, the men were already busy with work. Edwin stood there for a few moments before heading to the bathroom. He had his bathe and wrapped a towel around his waist before stepping outside. Stepping out of the bathroom, Edwin flinched slightly after catching sight of a lady standing beside his bed. "Good morning, Mr. Edwin." She greeted respectfully with her head bowed down. "Good morning, Angela, how may I help you?" Edwin inquired after recognizing the face of the Lady. She was the family's helper. "Your father asked me to inform you about work today. Yo

    Somewhere in the city of Newcastle, a hotel could be seen standing tall. The compound of the hotel was filled with cars, and people could be seen entering and leaving the hotel.Inside one of the hotel rooms, a woman could be seen lying on the bed with sheets covering her naked body, and beside her was a naked man.Both individuals were sweating and panting heavily...it was obvious what happened between them and what caused the panting.The young man laid down there for a few moments before rising up and began to wear his clothes. Seeing that, the woman swiftly got up and wrapped her body with a white towel."Where are you going, Tim?" Julia Blackwood questioned, her face fixed on the man known as Tim."As you can see, Julia, I'm leaving." Tim responded while wearing his trousers."You promised to spend the night with me here.

  • Ships and Guns

    Oswald crouched beside the railing, his gaze still fixed on the direction of Gambino's boat. He attached a silencer, and a soft clicking sound echoed through the stillness. Oswald loaded the magazine, the bullets glinting in the fading light. He chambered a round, the mechanism snapping into place with a satisfying crunch. With a deep breath, he settled into position, his finger resting on the trigger.He aimed for one of the Gambinos before pulling the trigger and the man dropped dead right where he was with blood splattering around the place."Sniper! Everyone, take cover!" One of them voiced out as they swiftly took cover. "Any idea where he's shooting from?" He asked."No, Sir. We can't see him anywhere around meaning he's attacking from a long range. We also can't counter because our guns are only short range guns." Another comrade responded with his heart racing."Darn it. Who could it be?" He spat.Oswald lowered the sniper after they all took cover, and he shifted his gaze bac

    Edwin and Oswald exited the wheat farm and began to head towards the docks. They walked for a few moments before they finally arrived there.A medium-sized ship was already waiting for them there, and a man could be seen on the ship. The man seemed to be in his late forties, clad in a dirty brown suit, and a brown hat was sitting on his head."Evening, Uncle Duncan. Thanks for preparing the ship just like I asked." Oswald stated with a smile on his face.The man in a dirty brown suit, known as Uncle Duncan, got off the ship and walked towards Oswald."This is very dangerous, Oswald, why did you have to bring your younger brother?" Uncle Duncan asked with a slight frown as he glanced at Edwin."Because, Uncle Duncan, you and Edwin are the only people I trust in the entire world. I would have asked you to come with me but my father needs you back home and it will look suspicious if you are nowhere to be found. That's why I asked him to come along." Oswald replied audibly as he lit a cig

  • Curious Marcellus

    Edwin drove his car through the dimly lit street of Newcastle. The streets were almost pitch black and empty, and the only source of light was the light from his car. Driving a few meters behind him was Marcellus. Marcellus had his gaze fixed intently on Edwin's car."What are you up to?" He mused while driving forward. Marcellus suspected that Oswald and Edwin were responsible for the death of Timothy Hardcastle but he was unable to prove anything. Without any proof no one would believe a word he says.So right now that he caught Edwin leaving the mansion and driving his car towards a strange area he was sure they were up to something. And maybe if he follows them he might get concrete evidence against them.Edwin drove for several minutes, making his way towards the docks. He rotated the steering of the car and took a turn to a different street. The moment he arrived in the street, Oswald emerged from the shadows and stood in front of his car.Edwin's eyes widened in shock after ca

  • Decision

    "The only way now is for you to divorce Noah Sturridge and find a way to marry Edwin Blackwood. If you succeed in winning his heart we'll be back on top in no time." Emily added. "We talked about this, mum, I'm not going to divorce Noah." Katherine interjected with a frown. "Why not? I don't think Sturridge is useful to this family anymore. We've already gotten the resources and connections we needed from his family. The connections we even got from them are mostly useless. We do not need him anymore. Go for a bigger fish, darling. Edwin Blackwood is the CEO of all his family's companies. If you can make him your husband we'll no doubt become one of the affluent families in the whole of Newcastle and even England." Emily articulated as she walked towards her daughter and placed both hands on her shoulders. "That's the same thing you said when you wanted me to marry Noah!" Katherine voiced out as she slapped Emily's hands off her shoulders. "You told me to divorce Lucas so I can ma

  • Terminated

    The words of Brian Walters came as a shock to Emily. Her family's company has been working with the Brian's industries for many years now. Even when many investors left when the company was facing a crisis, she never left. She was still supporting the company with her money and resources. The fact that he wants to terminate their deal all of a sudden doesn't make sense to her."Is this some sort of mistake? I'm not the one you wanted to call, right?" Emily inquired."I'm afraid there isn't a mistake, Emily. Like I said, some changes were made in the company and because of that we can no longer do business with your family so the contract has been terminated." Brian articulated."What changes? What did I even do?" Emily asked, her tone mixed with anger and betrayal. "Have you forgotten who I am, Mr. Brian? You can't just get rid of me like that!""I'm sorry but the company now has a new owner for the meantime, and that owner doesn't seem to like your family. I wonder what you did to hi

    "You guys don't understand. Oswald was the one who killed Tim. Earlier this morning I saw him having a secret discussion with Edwin in his room. I think they were talking about how to cover their tracks." Marcellus spoke up audibly.All heads turned to face Marcellus after hearing the words he had just said."What are you talking about, Marcellus?" Herbert asked."I heard Oswald whispering something to Edwin in his room and I also saw him leaving. Believe me, father, they are hiding something." Marcellus responded."Okay, let's say Oswald was truly the one who killed Tim, you think he'd go to Edwin? Edwin is just a kid for crying out loud." Roderick blurted."He's 23 years old, he's not a kid." Marcellus countered."I could have sworn you told him to shut up during a family meeting and shouldn't contribute because he's only a kid. Now he's no longer a kid to you?" Roderick scoffed."He's old enough to handle things like this. Edwin was the only one who also voted to start a war with t

The doors were opened and several men emerged from it.Every single one of them were clad in a white suit, and a white hat was worn on their heads. They were all armed with guns, and their expression was dark and menacing.One of the men pulled the door of the first car, and a man stepped outside majestically. The man seemed to be in his late fifties, his face was filled with wrinkles, and a gray mustache could be seen below his nose. He was also clad in a white suit, and a white bowler hat was sitting on top of his head.He held a cane that assisted him as he walked forward, and the cane was made of pure gold. The man was known as Caspian Hardcastle, the leader of the Hardcastles family

    Brian Walters straightened his suit as he sat down opposite Edwin."So tell me... Why are you here? I'm all ears." Edwin stated.Brian cleared his throat as he began."I'm sure you must have heard about what happened to my company, and if you haven't heard I will inform you. I was approached by a man who said he was the CEO of a company in Manchester. He provided some evidence which made me believe that what he was saying was actually the truth.""My company was doing well at that time, yes, and sales were good. However, I wasn't quite satisfied. I needed more so I can go toe to toe with a company like yours. In the end of the day it all turned out to be a scam. There was no company in Manchester, and all he said was a lie.""To cut the long story short, I bought some shares, shares worth $4,000,000,000, and he ran away with all the money. The four billion was all the profit left in my company, and now that it's gone I'm left with nothing.""The affluent families who were investing in
