“What were you doing just now,” Daniel said, trying to get a mental picture of how fucked he was. “I can never be stranded.”

“You… you are pretty fucked,” Hank scoffed and chuckled aloud.

Daniel thrusted his fist into Hank’s gut, “Maybe you just answered my question, you fool. I always get what I want.”

Hank’s eyes were filled with rage, as he was restrained by the people he called his men, his eyes darting at Gusto and only thought of a way to make him pay for his betrayal.

As threats flew across the warehouse, tensions got high, and only the toughest of minds can get it done. Nobody knew what to expect next, including Daniel, his fear was something he’d thought to be simple, but his history with Elijah always outsmarting him at every turn of the way would not let him have his peace.

Daniel took a full six minutes to strategize his next point of action, strolling outside the warehouse, leaving Gusto and his minions with his captives, with Elijah not showing any sign of yieldi

    Two officers walked into the Greene mansion with their noses tingling. it was an alien occurrence in the Greene mansion, as they seldom visit, only on occasions where something foolish has been done, just like every other situation.Daniel had not returned home when the police visited the mansion, pulling by a relaxation bar first, cooling his mind and gathering his thoughts. His emptiness was starting to grow without limits, knowing no bounds as he downed bottle after bottle, hoping it would take the harsh truth of reality away, and possibly renew him. “A complaint has been filed that Mr. West has been missing, or to be more specific, has been kidnapped by a member of your family,” one of the officers said, his eyes darting around the luxurious grandeur of the mansion. It was Dorothy who happened to attend to them as she was the one with the least duty, aside from staying home and being the home dog. She was at first confused by the request of the men in uniform, “there is no

    “T-the police?” Daniel said with a stammer, his eyes wide open like he had just seen a ghost or heard the screams of a zombie. “The police were here?” All eyes turned to Daniel with his sudden reaction to Dorothy’s information, and the unusual fear skittering all over his face. Haylee in particular, squinted her eyes, and could not but imagine the worst. “You got a problem with it?” Haylee deadpanned.He regained his composure, and cleared his throat, “Why would I? I don’t even know why they are here.” His words betrayed his voice, but it did not matter, as long as he was able to fool them. “Why were they here?” Mrs. Greene asked, facing Dorothy with sheer curiosity. “Someone made a report that a member of this family kidnapped Elijah,” Dorothy answered, her eyes still obvious that she was keeping out more details than she ought to reveal. “Ridiculous! Who made such a report?” Daniel retorted immediately, looking sideways. “I don’t know about that I was wonderin

    He remained at a standstill, hoping that his grandmother was not talking about what he did. She knew him better than anyone else did. His weaknesses and inability to keep a perfect lie were not strange to her, and for that reason, she forced him to spill the beans. “I know you did it for us, but where is he?” She asked one final time, building on the damage her first set of questions had done to him.Daniel swallowed his lies, “If only you knew who he is,” he said subtly, and then voiced out, “I never intended for it to get worse.” “I know that. Where is he?” “Grandpa’s old warehouse outside the city,” he mentioned, his face down at the table.Mrs. Greene could not conceal her dissatisfaction and disappointment in Daniel, however, getting everything out of him was what proved to be the most important thing at the moment. If the police were on to them, she has to keep them off their tails. Her image is seemingly worth more than just a fool who ruined her birthday. “Since

    “What do you think we are going to do now?” Elijah whispered to Hank as they were tied side by side to each other. After Daniel departed from the warehouse, each minute was as if they awaited their deaths, living on a string. They only lived on hope and hope could only last them a little while. Individually on their own, they thought of means that never saw the light of the day but only expired in their minds. However, Elijah’s ruptured ribs only allowed him to think as far as his pain relieved him. He felt more pain than he was able to devise a plan. It was left to Hank. “Give me time,” Hank said, one of his eyes swollen and about to close. Elijah might be a blackbelt martial arts fighter, but he has never suffered as much pain as he did with Daniel, compared to Hank who’s been in worse beatdowns than the ones Daniel subjected him to after his departure. All he needed was just a single strand of life for him to hang on to continue living, and that was all. He required little

    A man’s journey begins the moment he comes to the realization of who he is supposed to be, and not the day he was born. The very day he knows what he is supposed to do, the kind of life he is supposed to live, the very purpose he is meant to fulfill.That is the day he is born. Hank thought he found that day. The day he was to become a father, he thought he had found purpose, something to live for, and something to die for. It was meant to be the happiest day of his life until it turned out to be the worst nightmare for him.Rather, he became a convict and someone the world despised, including the very people he was supposed to live and die for. “What happened to you? W-what made you…” the words could not flow from Elijah, the pain that ravaged his body, and the pity he felt for Hank, regardless, his speech was diminished.Hank let out a sigh, and heaved out like a cold was stuck in his throat, “I am not supposed to tell you this I have never told anyone about this. Not even Morgan,”

    The silence that ensued in the warehouse was something no one could imagine. The clash of the two juggernauts transitioned into a cold war, the only difference being Hank on the receiving end. A cold war that turned into a round of punishment to Hank. “You think they love you?” Hank said summoning every living strength in him, “they don’t love you. None of them do. In fact, you are nothing but a narcissistic dictator who is too scared to admit how much of a loser he is.”Hank scanned his eyes through the rest of the gang members, then finally returned his gaze on Gusto, with his words piercing Gusto’s heart like a two-edged sword. Those words only subjected Hank to more punishment. “Fifty thousand dollars,” a man yelled from behind me.The auctioneer’s persistent gaze at me made my stomach churn. I looked away and rolled my eyes. I decided to attend this auction because the auctioneer insisted through daily mail and phone calls that I should be there. I turned him down the

    “I am going to need that knife with you right now,” Hank said, as he lay helplessly after being tossed on the floor by his men. There was a momentary confusion coursing through Elijah’s veins after Hank’s words, wondering how he was discovered.Hank struggled to sit, with his whole body aching, each bone grinding, and his blood threatening to spill out. It was the worst moment he’d been through, as memories of how he betrayed Richard flooded his head.He had a taste of his own medicine. He has always been betrayed from the very beginning of his life, with his father turning his back on him and his mother when he was yet a little boy of seven years. They struggled to make ends meet, struggled to get by in life, and he promised himself to pay him back with the very sting in which it struck him. His mother had to pick up odd jobs to feed him and give him a quality education till she lost her life in a shootout on one of her side hustles. He hated everything that had to do wit

    No matter how hard he tried, he just could not help thinking about Daniel becoming the last man standing. He could not imagine the three years of shame at the Greene mansion becoming a thing of the past. He refused to picture the lightest possibility of Daniel, with that smug grin of his, getting away with shooting him in his feet.The worst nightmare that could happen to him. He sensed his freedom coming closer, and he savored every moment that would lead to then. Every second of waiting felt like an eternity to him.Hi patience dwindled, and he just could not wait anymore. “How long do we have to wait?” he asked again, barely two minutes after Hank’s instruction.Hank banged his palm against his forehead, unable to bear any of Elijah’s incessant requests. “Will you shut up? I told you we have to wait. It is very crucial at this point that we pay attention to every detail.” “Then set my hands free.

    “ I won't kill you Master Xi'an, instead, I will make it fair. We would participate in a sword fighting, whoever wins, kills the other” Elijah said, making Isabella gasp as she stood up and walked towards him.“ What are you doing? Now is your chance to end him, why are you trying to kill yourself once again?” Isabella was extremely worried.“ Did I ever tell you that I can't die if death isn't natural? So put your mind to rest, this will only make it a fair game” Elijah smiled.“ Kelvin, let him go. He needs to clad his sword with Lotus flower poison, so he can kill me once again” Elijah said in a mocking tone which made Hank and Dracula burst into laughter.Once Kelvin let Master Xi'an go, he disappeared from the board room. All this while, Elijah held Tim so that the members of the board meeting wouldn't know what was going on.“ Don't tell me you hid back time?” Isabella was surprised.“ Yes I did.

    “ Hey, Grant.

On getting to her office, she sat down in the swivel chair which belongs to Elijah.She kept touching the chair and table and it felt like Elijah was in the office with her.“ I know you're missing him, but you need to move on” a voice said inside Isabella's head.“ Yeah, I need to move in as prove to him that his Empire is in safe hands” Isabella nodded her head and almost immediately he became business-minded and focused at the same time.

    The ambulance sirens pierced through the night’s air as Elijah was rushed to the best hospital in Georgia.Isabella, Hank and Dracula followed closely behind the ambulance, their faces etched with worry and fear, most especially Isabella. She just couldn't accept the fact that Elijah died in her arms. She refused to believe it.As they arrived, the best medical team from different hospitals in Georgia were already present in the hospital waiting for the arrival of Elijah. He was quickly taken into the emergency ward, leaving the trio waiting for the news anxiously. Thirty minutes felt like an eternity as they paced back and forth in the waiting area. Isabella sat in a chair, her hands and legs shaking against her will. Sweat clouded her forehead as he kept biting on her quivering lips.Finally, the doctor walked out of the emergency ward, his expression somber. Isabella stood up from the chair she was seating and rushed towards him, her eyes locked with his, pleading for answers.“

    “ Look around Uncle, your disciples are all dead and you will be the next” Elijah smirked as he took slow steps towards Master Xi'an.“ Not so fast, Nephew. My disciples might all be dead but I think you will be the next, I am not dying but you're the one dying” Master Xi'an said as he took his sword from its sheath.It glittered amidst the collision with the sunset.“ Nice sword you have there,” Elijah smiled, but his smile disappeared almost immediately as he positioned himself, ready to charge towards Master Xi'an. Isabella, whose heart was beating faster than normal, wanted to join Elijah in the fight with Master Xi'an but Hank stopped her from going.“ It's his fight, don't get involved” Hank gave her a reassuring smile before taking her to a small house where they stood waiting for the fight between the two relatives to take place.

After ten minutes of marching to the alley where the battle would be taking place, they already met Elijah and his men there. They were standing with a blank expression. That's number one rule in winning your enemies; they shouldn't know your next move or your expression on what you feel at that moment.“ Dear Uncle, have you told your disciples the truth?” Elijah stepped forward with a mischievous smile on.“ Uncle?” Nora's eyes widened in shock. Never in her wildest dreams would she have thought that Master Xi'an is

Almost one hour later, Kelvin and Tristan got back from school only to find the house empty.They were surprised because usually, their mom would already be preparing dinner for them before they got back to school, but she was not in the sitting room, nor was she in the kitchen.“ Mom?” Young Kelvin called but there was no answer.“ Kelvin? Where could Mommy be?” Young Tristan was already afraid.He loved his Mom so much that he would always stick to her wherever they went, so not seeing his mom made his heart skip.“ Hey, don't cry.

    “ What? My late wife? How did you know about it?” Mr Ramos started to stutter.“ Why won't I know when you have a son here?” Elijah smiled pointing at Kelvin who stepped forward.“ Why would you say something like that? We both worked hard for this company, it belongs to us both but now that she's dead, it belongs to me” Mr Ramos shouted angrily.“ It doesn't belong to you, Father, because you killed my mother all because you want the company to yourself and want to bring in Gregory and his mother” Kelvin said, his eyes blazing with hatred as he spoke.“ What are you talking about, bastard! Why would my father kill your pathetic mother?” Gregory stood up from the ground and rushed towards Kelvin, but Elijah held his wrist tightly, not letting him take another step further.“ What do you know?, bastard!” Mr Ramos walked towards Kelvin and landed a deafening slap across his face.“ You can slap me for all I care, but I won't let a murderer reap where he didn't sow” Kelvin gritted his te
