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

Lucas mused, his heart racing in joy as he locked the convenience store he worked in as a sales rep.Even though Lucas works both day and night shifts, he still earned peanuts that was barely enough to put food on his table.

Lucas had decided to spoil his wife tonight and get he something nice for once.Throughout their three years of marriage, Lucas has been unable to but her gifts and treat her the way she deserves due to the lack of funds, and because of that he has been saving up for weeks just to get her a decent meal from one of the most expensive restaurant in the city.He walked through the dimly lit street gleefully, and after a few more minutes, he arrived in his apartment.

    Who would have thought I would ever look this handsome." Lucas admired himself in the mirror before exiting the room and made his way to the usual spot where he would meet the whole family of gangsters. Lucas walked down the dimly lit hallway, and with every step he took he glanced around the place in amazement. The hallway was extremely quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the sound of his footsteps as he made his way forward. Bridget, his step mom, told him his father requested for his present in the usual location. Even though Lucas has never been to the place, he knew exactly how to get there without asking for directions. He walked down the deserted hallway for several minutes until he finally caught sight of a wooden door a few meters away.uvas made his way towards the door and took a deep breath in and out before pushing it open.

    "I'll go get the car." Roderick said as he stepped out of the office and went straight to the garage to bring the car around.Marcellus gulped down the rest of his whiskey before placing the cup on the table and began to walk towards the exit door."Make sure you return with good news, Marcellus!" Herbert ordered as Marcellus exited the office.The rest of the family members also left the office except Herbert, Oswald, and Lucas. Herbert asked Oswald to stay behind because they still had more issues to discuss, while Lucas was still in the office because he had no idea what to do now."Don't you have somewhere to be?" Oswald questioned. "Have you delivered the crates to the Moretti's family?" He asked."Uh...no, not yet." Lucas stuttered."Well, go. They need the beers for the celebration tomorrow. Ask Digby to give you two fill crates of our finest beers and Whiskey, then you board a cab that would take you straight to their mansion. Deliver the crates, get the payment, and get the h

    Edwin approached the opulent gates of the Moretti mansion, his footsteps echoing against the grand stone pathway. The mansion itself was an architectural marvel, with towering columns, intricate wrought-iron railings, and manicured gardens that spoke of old money and long-standing wealth. As he neared the entrance, the imposing doors swung open, and a young maid greeted him with a practiced, though somewhat weary, smile."Good evening. You must be Mr. Edwin from the Blackwood family," she said, her tone respectful but tinged with a hint of apprehension.Edwin gave a courteous nod. "Yes, that's right. I've come to deliver some crates."The maid's eyes widened slightly, but she quickly composed herself. "Please follow me. Miss Matilda will be here to assist you."As they walked through the grand hallway, Edwin took in the luxurious surroundings. The floors were polished marble, reflecting the soft glow of crystal chandeliers that hung from the high ceilings. The walls were adorned with

    As Edwin turned around , he came face-to-face with his father, Herbert Blackwood. Herbert stood with an imposing presence, his well-tailored suit and stern demeanor embodying the gravitas of the Blackwood patriarch. The aging man’s dark eyes surveyed Edwin with a mixture of concern and disapproval. “Edwin,” Herbert said, his voice deep and commanding. “Why are you so late?” Edwin felt a knot tighten in his stomach. He had hoped to avoid a confrontation with his father, but it seemed that fate had other plans. He took a moment to steady himself before responding. “I’m sorry, Father. I was delayed. The youngest daughter of the Moretti family decided to give me a tour of their mansion.” Herbert raised an eyebrow, a flicker of interest momentarily crossing his face. “A tour? I wasn’t aware that you were there to make social calls. I assume it was a worthwhile visit?” Edwin nodded, trying to keep his voice steady. “Yes, it was. The Moretti mansion is quite impressive. But I understa

    Marcellus and Roderick Blackwood sat in the back of their sleek black car, the leather seats and polished interior a stark contrast to the grim task ahead. The city lights flickered through the windows as they made their way through the bustling streets, heading towards the racetrack where Mr. Ernest, the owner and promoter of the upcoming match, awaited their visit.The car’s engine hummed smoothly, but Marcellus’s mood was far from calm. He was still seething over Lucas’s unexpected intervention earlier. He had never expected his younger brother to speak up in such a significant way, let alone propose a solution that seemed to have gained the approval of Herbert. Now, Marcellus was determined to rectify what he perceived as a slight against his own status and authority.“Why did Father have to send me with Roderick?” Marcellus muttered, his voice laced with frustration. “He could’ve sent Oswald instead.”Roderick, ever the stoic companion, simply shrugged. “Julia was busy, and Fathe

    The air was thick with the acrid smell of gunpowder as Marcellus and Roderick huddled behind the pillar, their hearts pounding in their chests. The car, once a symbol of their family's wealth and power, was now a perforated wreck, the glass shattered and metal twisted by the relentless barrage of bullets.Marcellus glanced over at Roderick, whose face was set in a grim mask of determination. "We need to move," he shouted over the din, trying to keep his voice steady. "Get to the side entrance of the building. We can find cover there and figure out what’s happening."Roderick nodded, his eyes scanning the area for the best route. “On my mark, we move,” he said, his voice barely audible over the continued gunfire.Marcellus took a deep breath, gripping the pillar tightly as he prepared for their next move. “Ready,” he said.The two men sprinted from their cover, darting across the open space as bullets whizzed past them. They reached the side entrance of the building, their footsteps ec

    The Blackwood estate loomed ahead, its imposing silhouette illuminated by the security lights that cast long shadows across the driveway. Marcellus and Roderick, both still reeling from the night’s chaos, made their way up the steps and through the grand entrance. The familiar grandeur of the estate did little to ease their nerves; the threat of the Gambinos was a weight that pressed heavily on their shoulders. Inside, the house was abuzz with activity. Security personnel moved with purpose, their expressions a mix of vigilance and concern. Marcellus and Roderick were greeted by their father, Herbert Blackwood, who was already waiting for them in his office. Herbert, a man known for his commanding presence and strategic mind, looked up as his sons entered, his face a mask of calm. Marcellus stepped forward, his face etched with the stress of the evening. “Father, we need to talk. There’s been an attack.” Herbert raised an eyebrow but didn’t seem overly concerned. “An attack?

    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

    Back in the Blackwoods mansion...A convoy of shiny white Mercedes Benz could be seen driving into the compound, and the Blackwoods men stood in front of the mansion with their guns pointed at the cars that were driving in.The convoy of Mercedes Benz came to a halt a few meters away from the mansion. 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
