Vengence's Odyssey Chapter one
The heart monitor by the bedside table beeped, increasing the sense of foreboding within Christian, each beep sounded like his grandmother's life was fading away. "Christian," the old woman croaked weakly, her tone airy, her throat dry. Christian leaned closer to her, her frail hands in his tight grip and listened as she whispered, "You promised to let me see her, Christian, you promised I would see your beloved wife before I leave this earth." She said faintly, with a smile that brightened her pale and wrinkled face for a split second. "You will." He replied, his voice a deep baritone that hid his emotions, hid the sadness and dread within him to lose the only family he had, the only human who truly loved him. "You made a promise Christian, I raised you to be a man of your words." She reminded him, her feeble eyes staring pointedly at his handsome chiseled face. Christian nodded, "I'll bring her to you now, rest, I'll have the doctors check on you." He said and rose fro

Maybe it was the cold air blasting from the air conditioner in the car or the coldness from his very soul. Christian wasn't sure but he certainly felt frozen inside. The car rumbled to a halt in front of his gate and he sat for a few more minutes, looking over the news site. Stephanie Matt's, she was unmarried according to the news. The press had never been informed of her marriage, she had never officially announced it. Christian clenched his fists and his jaw ticked in contained fury as he got out of the car and opened his front door. Stephanie was on the couch, a perfect picture of poise, grace and beauty. Her blonde hair was pulled into a perfect ponytail and her velvety red dress complemented her soft blue eyes perfectly. Her face was a cold and nasty mask as she sneered at him, "Where have you been?" Christian strolled closer to her, his face unreadable, serene, too calm and unperturbed as she stared at him, goading him into action. He felt a certain sense of resig

Stephanie panicked as she saw the angry face of her parents. Her father was reddening with anger and her mother looked ready to kill. She regretted having to confront Christian after his loss and she wished she didn't have to do it but her parents were there and they had no intentions of going easy on him. "Where have you been, boy! For three days?" Mr. Rolando asked, his face mad. Then he realized Christian was neither intimidated nor affected by his query, instead he was wearing a piercing look that scared them both. "Who do you think you are, Christian? Neglecting our daughter and going off to nowhere for three whole days, you disgust me! " Stephanie's mother snapped and then moved into the room, going to stand beside her daughter, one hand on her shoulder and her glare directed at Christian. "What's this fiasco?" Christian asked, his voice as icy as when they'd first arrived, clearly unruffled by their outburst. This only scared the Rolando's who went ahead to bark at C

The click of the door, despite being a small sound, seemed to resound in Stephanie's head. She had agreed to divorce Christian but she felt she'd hurt him too much, seeing as he was still mourning grandma's loss. She also felt guilty for not being there with her, for her when she was in her last minutes. She felt drained and guilty and she wanted to be alone. Stephanie fell on the couch with an exhausted sigh as her parents laughed and mocked at Christian, confirming his signature and being thankful that he'd left without any fight. "You know, I thought he'd want to be smart, good thing I was here to handle him." Her father said with a proud smile and then looked at Demon who was still hovering around Stephanie, hoping to talk to her. "And look, I invited Demon over, I thought he could cheer you up and you know...get to know you, I know Christian was never capable of being the right one for you, you deserve better. " Mr Rolando said and smiled at Demon who gave her a wink

Christian hoped it was a bad joke, but she didn't seem eager to laugh it out anytime soon, she even looked a little nervous, biting her bottom lip and her gaze a little uncertain. Bafflement was clearly on Christian's face as Alice struggled to explain what she meant. "It's...not a real boyfriend Christian, I mean, I need your help." She said quickly, hoping to calm Christian who looked too shocked to function. "Look, I don't mean a real boyfriend, it's gonna be a faux, I just couldn't think of someone else that would be better for this than you, and I thought I could finally take that debt you said you owed me," she stated with a shrug and Christian nodded. "My father thinks I just attend his fundraiser night, I don't know why he lets them drag him to these fancy fake things but...he insisted I must come too. There's a man I'm trying to avoid and...I want you to come with me, just to make me have a plus one, maybe he'll back off once he sees I'm not alone." She explained calml

Harry Banter was not just another number at the party, he was popular, he was feared and he was a fierce fighter. Alice could feel her bones chill as she heard his voice from behind her. She braced herself for his assault, he was not the kind to back down without a fight. Harry Banter, the son of a mafia boss, he was the infamous Hunter, the martial art fighter and a notorious show off. It was not in his nature to take no for an answer, one of the reasons Alice was trying damn hard to avoid him, even going as far as taking Christian along with her, hoping to use him as a shield so Hunger would back down, but she should have known better. The Banter and wills were one of the richest and ruthless mafia in the city and. Harry's father had always wanted him to marry Alice and finally unite the two families, making them an even greater name. But Alice was not into Harry, she had no intentions of being with him and talking more of marrying him. "Don't be rude, Alice, introduce us
Vengence's Odyssey Chapter seven
Christian stood still, his eyes unblinking as Harry jeered at him, his wry smile mocking, goading Christian into action but Christian wasn't that easily baited, he remained unmoved, his back straight, his stance firm. "You have no idea how many men have fallen by my hands, boy." He smirked mockingly, circling Christian like a culture would the carcass of its prey. Many in the crowd cheered and taunted Christian because they believed and had a first hand experience of Harry's skills in the ring, he'd won many cage fights underground and he was famous for his ruthlessness and lack of mercy for his opponent. He always fought to the last drop of blood - of his rival. "Don't you think for a second that you will walk free, no, you've met your end, Mr stranger." Harry said with a mocking laugh as he strolled to the open field where the crowd was pulling together, same taking out their cell phones for pictures. "I've killed seven men, all with my bare hands." He said, his voice a low a
Vengence's Odyssey Chapter eight
The crowd stood in absolute awe, many astonished faces gazing at Christian and down at Harry who was sprawled on the field, clearly unconscious. The disbelief was murmured around as many could not tell how he did it but evidently he'd taken Harry out with one strike and he was not only down but he remained there until his goons went to check if he was okay. Christian looked across the field and caught Alice's eyes. She was staring at him with an odd expression, a mixture of surprise and fright. But as he smiled, she burst out laughing, her eyes wide with pleasant surprise. She'd found the perfect man who could stand his own even in the presence of men like Harry, she knew she had found herself a treasure. In all her years of acquaintance with the Hunter family, she'd never seen a single man who could take out Harry, not with his MMA record or his brutality in the ring. She was blissfully surprised that Christian was able to take Harry out with no stain on his immaculate white

CHAPTER 113Wedding bells "Hi, everyone. What's going on here?Did I interrupt anything? I can see y'all are having a good time, right?" Doctor Mario dashed inside Stephanie's ward with a document in his possession. Stephanie's conversation with her Mom was fruitful as they made peace and vowed to improve each other. Personally, Mrs. Rolando instructed everyone to join them inside the ward while she used the opportunity to apologize to Chris for treating him like a piece of trash while he was married to her daughter, Stephanie. The whole family is set to put the past behind them and embrace a new beginning that would be beneficial to everyone. Stephanie's near-death experience made them realize that there's more to life rather than beefing each other. "Not at all. Doctor Mario." Stephanie smiled. "I'm glad you're here with us.You came at the right time. We were just discussing my discharge date before you showed up. What's the update, doctor?" "Somewhat Positive if I must

Family ties."How do you feel now?" Chris asked Stephanie while she lay on her sick bed. She had her bandages wrapped around her head to enable a speedy recovery. It's not even 48 hours yet and Stephanie has lost much weight due to the excess bleeding from her head."I feel some type of way right now. I just can't explain. I can't wait to stand on my feet again." Stephanie responded in a faint voice as she held Chris's hands so passionately and stared directly into his eyes, "Thank You!""For? I can't recall doing anything," Chris responded to pretend he didn't know what she was talking about."Come on, Chris. Don't act like you don't know. Of course, you know what I meant. Thank you for everything. I wasn't expecting you to come through for me in my distress and trust me, I don't take your kindness for granted. I want you to know that I appreciate everything you do for me and more," Stephanie buttressed and displayed her heartfelt gratitude. She forgot to address the horrible texts s

Mrs. Rolando's venom.Heavy falls of snow in June are not uncommon, and only for a short time towards the end of July are the nights exempt from light frosts.The climate is hot and humid in the lowlands and along lower places, but in the uplands, it is dry with high temperatures and a cool atmosphere.Mrs. Rolando hasn't shown up yet and everyone's worried. Her hastiness would determine how fast Stephanie would get better."Have you figured out what to do? We don't have plenty of time to gamble around," Doctor Mario asked Chris. He was taking a stroll when he saw Chris and Emily standing at the reception. He expected Chris to have fetched Stephanie's family members previously discussed in his office."I know, Doctor. I'm working towards that I just called her mom and she'll be here pretty soon. Just buy us more time, please," Chris pleaded.Emily wasn't paying attention to their discussion.

CHAPTER 109The agony of Stephanie."Mr. Chris. Are you there?" Mario waved at the lost Chris to rejuvenate his lost soul. His mind went blank the moment Mario disclosed traces of narcotics found inside Stephanie's system."I'm fine! I am just trying to process everything. I'm still in shock.' Christian placed his head on Mario's desk to nurse his pain.Christian is quite aware that Mario is telling the truth but he's scared to admit it. He would rather pretend not to know to avoid Mario from suspecting that Stephanie is into drugs. He wishes he could visit Jayden at the station and strangle him with bare hands. He's the reason they're into this mess."I want to ask an important question and I'll need you to be honest with me. Can you do that?" Mario asked."Sure!" Chris nodded in a faint voice. His baritone voice has disappeared mysteriously without a trace due to the overwhelming situation.Narrowing his gaze around his office, Mario slowly whispered, "Is Stephanie a drug addict?"

Compound Woes"She's not even responding, Chris. Please assist me in taking her inside," Emily begged Chris. Stephanie is losing a lot of blood and Emily isn't about it. Just when she thought their problems were over, Stephanie's accident gave me another reason to trap them back inside the hospital's premises."Where are we taking her to? I know a nearby hospital where Stephanie would receive the best treatment. Let's get her inside my car," Christian said. He knew where Emily was driving but he just wanted her to spell it out."What sort of question is that? Why take her elsewhere when we are in the right place?Can't you see that we are in the hospital already? We should carry her inside where she would be treated inside." She responded with a harsh voice."Hell no! There's no way Stephanie would be treated in this same hospital. Have you forgotten what happened recently? To me, this hospital is bad news and must be avoided at all costs." Chris instructed at the expense of Stephani

Breaking free.Brandy gritted his teeth, remembering how confident he was a couple of minutes ago. He doesn't feel the same anymore and fears the worst that's about to him. His sense of loss was so deep, that he thought it'd kill him some nights.He paced around the cell for a couple of minutes in his prison uniform looking restless. He can't withstand the pressure anymore."Calm down, bro. It'll be fine. You've got nothing to worry about. You've been restless since we got here. We don't need that negative energy right now. We just need to stay positive." Jayden walked up to Brandy and calmed his nerves. It's crazy how you're calming the same person you're banking on for your freedom."Get your hands off me. You're in no position to say that to me. How dare you ask to stay calm when you know the situation already? You don't expect me to sit down and fold my arms right? I'm working towards my freedom unlike you with no plan. My Dad isn't picking up his calls or responding to his texts

Reconciliation Christian wasn't bothered about his potential arrest initially because he was quite confident of his innocence. He even made a declaration of becoming a Freeman who finally came to a manifestation.“I'll be going home at last. It's been a crazy adventure.” Chris smiled. He was so elated that he was going home. There's no greater joy than seeing Brandy and Jayden being arrested by the cops. If Chris was allowed to have his revenge on them, he doesn't mind shooting them in the head and watching them bleed to death. At least once in his life, he was able to do the right thing when it mattered.“Mark!” Chris halted Mark.“Where are you going? Please come back to me. There's something critical I need to discuss with you.We still have unfinished business.,” Christian called Mark when he noticed how scared Mark had become since he explained to everyone how Brandy destroyed everything. “Unfinished business? What are you talking about? Please make it make sense to me becau

The Escape route.“What's running through your mind now, Brandy? Doesn't it bother you that you might be spending the rest of your life in jail for committing a serious crime? You haven't spoken a word since we entered this vehicle. Are you planning on something I should know about?” Jayden whispered silently as the cops drove them to the station. He's noticed how unbothered Brandy has been lately.“Nothing special. I don't have Skeleton up my sleeves. I just have this peace of mind that can't be explained. I'm certain my Dad would come for me pretty soon. I've got absolutely nothing to worry about,” Brandy boasted. He isn't bothered by the arrest because he knows it's just a matter of time before his father comes through for him. When the cops got Brandy's declaration that Brandy would be arrested, he never argued or fought with them. Majestically, he smiled and walked his way into their vehicle, while Jayden kept arguing and pleading for a second chance at freedom again.Brandy's

Brandy's antics."Emily, is he telling the truth? I need you to be honest with me. You're the only one I could trust right now. Brandy is a jerk. No truth comes out of his mouth.I don't want to believe that Brandy erased all the data. What gave him the nerves to do that?" Chris focused his attention on Emily. She was the only person that wouldn't lie to him. He doesn't want to believe Mark's explanation even though it seems legit."I hate to admit this but it's nothing but the truth. Mark already said it all. If I wasn't there, I wouldn't have agreed to what he said. Everything happened right in front of me. You know what? I don't want to talk about this anymore. It saddens my heart each time I remember what happened out there.My head's spinning right now and I don't want to fall sick.," Emily narrated her ordeal in a soft tone. She's gradually losing her voice each time she opens her mouth to speak. She vowed never to speak until they reached the conclusion."Over to you Brandy. E
