Birds chirping sounds could be heard as the morning sun rose, and the rays flickered into the room and shone brightly into Edwin's eyes. His eyelids lifted open as he slowly regained consciousness.After waking up fully, he glanced around the place in bewilderment as he tried to figure out where he was. After scanning the whole room he finally realized he was in a hospital."What the hell happened?" Edwin pondered internally with a slight look of puzzle as he scratched his sporting black hair. The last thing he remembered was him trying to help Oswald, and then he blacked out after hearing a loud banging sound."I was shot?" He wondered after noticing the bandage tied around his belly. The sound he heard before blacking out was that of a gunshot, and with the bandage around his stomach...it wasn't hard for him to connect the dots and realize what happened.As Edwin was busy with his thoughts, the entrance door of the room flung open and a man stepped inside. He was clad in a long bla
Edwin's eye widened slightly after hearing the words of Oswald, and a slight look of puzzle appeared on his face."What do you mean, Oswald?" Edwin blurted."Those men that attacked, they used these type of bullets." Oswald informed as he slid his right hand into his pocket and brought out a black bullet. He tossed the bullet towards Edwin who caught it swiftly and glanced at it.Glancing at it, Edwin could see two letters written boldly on it. "BW", which means Blackwood in full."That's our family's logo on it. I do not recognize the faces of those men meaning they are not working for our family. It means someone from our family hired them to attack us, and that person gave them that bullet." Oswald bellowed."And why do you suspect Marcellus?" Edwin inquired."It's just an assumption. I am not sure yet, though. But if I am to suspect someone it would be him. Marcellus." Oswald remarked. "Marcellus has always been arrogant and also paranoid, and I'm guessing he must have been jealo
As Herbert said those words, both Edwin and Oswald glanced at him in bewilderment. "What are you taking about, Father?" Oswald questioned with a puzzled expression. Hearing the words of Oswald, Marcellus swiftly shifted his gaze towards him and spoke up, "Yeah, Edwin was shot during the mission last night, right? Noah Sturridge came with the Gambino boys and they took us by surprise." Marcellus said swiftly. "I...I don't understand. What the fuck are you talking about?" Oswald voiced out. "Yeah, what are you talking about, brother?" Edwin chimed in. The words of the two brothers was now getting Herbert really concussed, and he just stood there in silence with no clue of what is going on. Marcellus's expression darkened as he moved closer to both Oswald and Edwin, and he gave both of them a death stare. Catching sight of the look on Marcellus's face, Oswald finally understood what was going on. He knew Marcellus must have lied to his father that Edwin got shot during the
After a few more minutes, Oswald pulled out his right hand from his pocket and removed the cigar in his mouth before speaking."Sending men after your own brothers, eh? That's very classy I must say." Oswald said. "And to be honest, I didn't see that coming." He added with smoke oozing out of his mouth."I don't know what you are talking about, Oswald." Marcellus mumbled as he lights a cigarette and took a puff. "Of course you don't know what I am talking about." Oswald said sarcastically. "You sent those guys after me and Edwin last night and Edwin ended up getting shot and you stand there telling me you have no idea what I am talking about?!""Edwin was shot during our mission last night, this all I know. And I also knosthat you hid in the fucking car like a coward." Marcellus said as he blew out smoke from his mouth. "Aren't you ashamed, Marcellus, eh? You were so jealous to the extent that your hurt your own family! What type of a monster are you!" Oswald voiced out. "Yeah, you
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
Edwin, you are also not supposed to be present in this meeting. But I needed you here so you can sign the documents I told you about and become the new owner of our legal businesses." Herbert said, and Marcellus walked forward and placed a piece of documents on the table in front of Edwin."All you have to do is sign it, Edwin." Herbert added.Edwin picked up the pen and and glanced at the documents in front of him. The documents states that once he signs it all legal businesses of the family will be ran by him. Of course, the profit will go directly to the family but he will also earn a total of $10,000,000 monthly and it her juicy allowance.Edwin scanned the documents for a few moments before signing it."Done." He affirmed and Marcellus picked it up to examine it closely."That's good. You're now the boss of all our legal companies and industries. That way you will be free from the dangers of the underworld." Herbert bellowed with smoke oozing out of his mouth."You're free to lea
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
Oswald could be seen sitting down in the bar, and sitting opposite him was Salma.The place fell silent after Oswald was done with his words, and Salma just sat there glaring at him in silence.After a few more minutes of silence she raised a question, "You need my help with what?" 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. However, there is a certain gang who wouldn't like that. They are called
