The bartender, a boy in his middle twenties trembled staring at Richard, “I-I don’t u-understand you, sir,” he said, his lips trembling as he remained pinned on the slab.

Richard squinted, pressing his hand on the bartender’s neck, “now tell me what happened to him,” he said with his voice silky and calm but evoking danger.

“I only did what I had to do… I don’t know what happened to him after that,” the bartender sputtered shutting his eyes deep like he had seen a monster, then coming to the realization of how much he had revealed in a short amount of time.

Richard’s face relaxed, and he loosened his grip on the bartender’s neck, “what do you mean?” he asked, then took his hand away from the bartender, allowing him to get up on his feet.

The bartender began with a deep sigh, “Some guys gave me one hundred and fifty bucks to call him when your friend was about to leave yesterday,” he answered, then gulped a cupful of saliva, trying to avoid Richard’s cold stare. “I-I don’t know

    After a rough and bumpy eight-hour drive outside town, Daniel finally reached the warehouse he instructed his mercenaries to take Elijah. “Finally got you, son of a bitch,” he muttered to himself as he got down from the car. His heart only wanted to see Elijah groveling at his feet and begging for his life, and then he would look into Elijah’s eyes and tell him about how it feels to be rejected by the people you love and expected them to love you back but be treated like shit.He rehearsed I his head how he hoped to start his introduction when he finally met Elijah. “I told you I always win.” “Who do you think is boss now?” “I am the one who owns your life.” While he could not seem to get his thought to find a less awkward thing to say, Elijah’s expectancy spiked to the peak. Elijah had mastered the basic plan of the warehouse but only awaited the arrival of his owner before he could execute his glorious plan of escape. His eyes darted around the abandoned warehouse and then pee

    “I’m sorry,” Hank apologized and stepped backward for Daniel to take over haunting Elijah with words. Eliijah’s face froze, seeing Daniel was dressed in a green suit and a white round-necked shirt revealing himself as his owner. His eyes bulged out of their sockets, still unable to believe his eyes. “What in heaven’s name is he doing here? Is he the one?” he thought to himself. Of course, he is the one. He realized how much Daniel hated him and wanted him gone out of their lives, he wondered if Haylee knew about Dnaiel’s actions and was in support of it.The hatred the Greene mansion had for him was not hidden from the very first day he got there, however, it got worse the moment he gained his memory. Each day he lived having to pretend to be a fool was a torture that put him through the wringers of pain and agony. It was then he felt the sting of each insult, each scolding, each beating, and each moment unable to talk back hurt more.His eyes reddened with tears and rage, if

    Elijah was short of words because they refused to come out. Daniel was the last person he’d expected his card to be with, despite the feud that went on between both of them. He clutched his fist and his face morphed into a frown he had nothing to hide anymore. He did not need the pretense, his cover had been blown.Amidst all of these multiple could-be, Elijah wondered also if Daniel had discovered his true identity of being the heir to the biggest family in all of Georgia. And what does he stand to gain? “I see you must be shocked about where these came from, but not to worry yourself, it is something you don’t have to be concerned about,” Daniel said, resting on the wooden chair he sat on, and folding his arms. His aura was like that of a policeman waiting for a criminal to confess his crimes, and then shoot him off. Elijah was far too aware of the deceptiveness of Daniel and had prepared himself mentally for what to expect from him, he was ready to take on everything Daniel

    The complex seriousness Daniel bore convinced Elijah of what was really going on. Elijah calmed his nerves and looked at his hands. Would Daniel really shoot him in the hands and legs? He was not ready to play any more games either.However, the question of his identity was something he was not ready to give an answer to yet. It would require his life, and that was something he would not do or offer.Daniel, running out of patience, picked up the gun and cocked it, ready to pull the trigger, “Answer me now before you become crippled in the next minute.” “You definitely don’t want to do this, Daniel. You don’t have it in you,” Elijah responded Daniel’s threats with what he thought was a brave talkback, until Daniel decided to show him it was not a mere bluff. “You have no idea the things I want to do, most especially to you,” Daniel said, and shot Elijah in his feet, “I want to tear you into a million pieces if that is possible.” Elijah screamed as the pain reached his brain fa

    Daniel missed the first shot, sand before he could fire the next, Hank interrupted and veered his aim away from Elijah’s direction. “What the hell do you think you are doing?” Hank said in a scolding tone, restricting Daniel from making another attempt.Daniel repelled Hank’s hold, but could not seem to overpower the lanky short man, “let go of me, you moron,” Daniel squealed, and pushed Hank away from him.Elijah at first, tried to make a run for his life, but his injured feet would not allow him, all he could do was to crawl away from the scene. Daniel fired multiple shots at Elijah when he had the slightest opportunity to be free from Hank, but missed again, before Hank finally kicked the gun out of Daniel’s hand and seized it. “What do you think you are doing?” Hank said, keeping the gun away from Daniel.Daniel, his face reddened and sweaty, took off his suit and left his white round necked shirt, clenched his fist and prepared for a fight with Hank, “give me the gun or

    “Do you think you are the owner of what is in your hand?” Richard said over the phone, stalking Corey until he reached the turning of a lonely alley.Before Corey could turn back to see who was behind him, Richard hit him with a powerful right hand. “You told me you saw nothing. You told me you knew nothing.” Richard kept on hitting Corey, breaking his nose and almost all part of his face. “I-I swear, I was just about to call you,” Corey said in defense of himself, crawling on his butt as tried to get away from Richard. “You were about to call me… is that so?” Richard pulled Corey up by the collar of his shirt, and pinned him to the wall, “the phone has been with you right from the very moment I walked into that door in the morning, isn’t it?”Corey nodded negatively, shutting his eyes out of fear, “please don’t kill me. I only wanted to know why it was important…. And…” “Sell it? Why must you always be a crook,” Richard relaxed his voice and released his grip on the boy

    “Richard Morgan, it never gets old to listen to your voice,” Hank said with fear in his voice but still able to disrupt Richard. “And all this year I thought you were dead you filthy motherfucker,” Richard responded holding the phone tighter to his ears, “why must you always be a pain in the ass to me?” Richard’s face morphed into a grimace that was backed with a thirst for something beyond just a feud, it was something that echoed years of an unhealthy relationship fueled by hatred and anger. “And here I am thinking you broke out of jail. What a turn of incidence life can throw at us, isn’t it?Richard paused, then looked into the sky and turned back at Corey, “How did you go from working for one of the most prestigious security companies in the nation to becoming a worthless kidnapper?” “The same way you were too weak to take action when you had the opportunity to shoot me on sight?”Hank’s words flooded Richard’s head with memories of the night he lost everything he work

    “W-what are… you saying?” Elijah said with a stutter, his eyes betraying the next words that came from his mouth, “This is rubbish. I don’t have a hundred million dollars to give you, neither am I the heir of the West Empire.”Hank rose back to his feet, rolling his eyes into his socket, and whined, “Do we have to go back and forth over this again and again?” he strode back to his seat, “This is not a superhero movie where you have to keep your identity. I know who you are.”Elijah paused with the apple treat Hank gave him, hoping he could just choke on the ones he ate already, to avoid any discussion related to his identity, most especially with Hank or any of his captors. “It could be a trick,” Elijah thought to himself.Hank hoisted his legs on the table, crossing one on top of the other, and tilted the chair backward with his weight, “I can assure you of one thing, this is no trick,” Hank said, staring up into the wooden ceiling of the warehouse, like he’d just read his capti

    “ 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. Don't faint just yet, I am not done.” Elijah smirked and walked closer.Everyone was surprised including Hank and Dracula, but Isabella was more surprised than anyone else.Her eyes were as wide as an orange and her mouth parted which refused to close.“ He is not the one, he is a ghost?” Nora stuttered as she spoke but Elijah turned towards her.“ I see you survived from death after what Isabella did to you right?” Elijah smiled but she shifted back.Before Elijah could turn to Isabella she fainted on the ground which caused him to chuckle.“ I guess she is the most surprised one” he muttered and walked towards her.“ Hank,” Elijah called, snapping Hank from the surprise mode he was in.“ Yes…yes young master”“ Get me a bottle of water” Elijah ordered and Hank took one bottle of water from the table, handing it over to Elijah who fetched some into his hand before sprinkling it on Isabella's face.She woke up almost immediately and the first person her eyes met with wer

    THREE MONTHS LATERIsabella came down from a Lamborghini Aventador which was driven by Hank while Dracula was her assistant.“ What is on my schedule today?” Isabella asked as she walked into West Empire, her heels clicking on the marble floor as she walked.“ The board members called for a meeting today” Dracula replied looking at his tablet while Isabella nodded.“ Okay, just let me know when it's time for the meeting “ Isabella replied and the trio walked into the elevator leading to the top floor. 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. She took the telephone to place a call cr

    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. Isabella kept rubbing her two hands together, praying earnestly to whatever god she believes in to help Elijah win the fight... Master Xi'an a

    MASTER XI'AN’S TEMPLEMaster Xi'an came out of the temple to the field where all the soldiers were gathered.“ It's time to march. The battle font!” Master Xi'an shouted.“ Yes, Master!” The soldiers chorused before marching with Master Xi'an and Nora behind them As they marched, Master Xi'an had a smirk on his face because he had something to rely on that would surely kill Elijah.“ I am sorry Nephew, but you're dying by my sword” Master Xi'an said inwardly. 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

MASTER XI'AN’S TEMPLEOutside the temple were hundreds of men with their swords in its sheath. They stood in a straight line with master Xi'an as their leader.“ Today, we will take our fate into our hands! We must kill the Lord of the Seven Heavens if not, doom would be brought to the Earth!” Master Xi'an shouted so that the people at the back would hear him.“ We must kill him or he will kill us, I understand!” Master Xi'an shouted.“ Yes Master!” They all shouted in unison. “ Do not move, stay until I give further orders” Master Xi'an said and walked out of the field with Nora behind him.“

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
