Thank you for reading.
The day of the drug trade had arrived. Evelyn had been antsy the whole night, waiting for Zach to leave for the operation. She didn’t sleep a wink, waiting for the break of dawn. If everything goes well, she would be able to go back home and see Damian. So naturally, she was both excited and scared. Zach had kept her under surveillance after the handkerchief incident, she could barely breathe or go to the toilet comfortably. At first, she was worried he had caught on to something but he did nothing extraordinary so she figured he was just being his overly cautious self. A knock on the door made her jerk up from the bed and look at it. Her heart began to race involuntarily. She frowned, wondering who could be knocking at that time. Since she locked the door, she stood up and went to open it and was surprised to find Lisa at the door. What did she want this early? “Can I help you?” Evelyn asked, looking confused. Lisa rolled her eyes and folded her arms haughtily. “The mas
Damian spent two days preparing for the ambush on Zach’s territory. He had reached out to one of Zach’s men and given him a lump sum of money to bribe him and bring him on his side. It wasn’t hard to make him betray Zach. Zach had never been generous money-wise to his men. The man was successfully tempted and agreed to disable the traps around Zach’s mansion on the day of the attack and he did not disappoint. Damian walked past the traps with ease, leading his hundreds of men into Zach’s mansion. Zach’s men were caught off guard and killed instantly. They never expected anyone to infiltrate the mansion so they were unprepared. When he walked into the mansion, his men took down the rest of Zach’s men but the man he wanted taken care of was nowhere in sight. He could tell that Zach had escaped like the coward he was. But he had no time to worry about him as Evelyn had already run into his arms. He had to comfort her after the scare she had suffered earlier. Holding her in his
Zach was at his wit's end. He had gone back to his mansion but found it surrounded by Damian’s men so he had no choice but to stay in hiding. He could only flee into Damian’s territory as there was something he wanted to do before he left the Country. And that was killing one Evelyn Johnson. Evelyn dared to set him up and if he didn't make her pay, he wouldn't be able to rest in peace if he ended up being killed by Damian. He had to take revenge or else he would suffer a loss. If he was going down, he would take her down with him and make Damian suffer the pain of losing a loved one. Zach proceeded to Evelyn’s former home. He wore a black hoodie to hide his face since he was in Damian’s territory and didn’t want to be spotted. When he arrived at the house, he took out his gun and walked into the yard. He was oblivious to the several pairs of eyes lurking in the dark, watching his every move. He was about to burst the door open and keep Evelyn’s uncle hostage to threaten Evely
A sigh escaped Evelyn's lips as she sat sprawled out on a couch in Damian's office, bored to death. Weeks had flown by in a pleasant blur. Things between Damian and her were getting better with each day. The only problem is, he was too busy. Sometimes he would disappear without so much as a word to Evelyn. Then he would come back covered in bruises and claim that even though he got rid of Zach, they were still people messing around with drugs. He told her it would be difficult to get rid of all of them. They would always arise as that is human nature. But he would be there to root them out every time. Tonight was no different, Damian had received a call from one of his men and now, he was busy cocking his guns at his desk, ready to leave for the next operation. He raised his head to give Evelyn a glance, he saw how she had her arms crossed over her chest and a pout on her mouth. Putting his pistol on the desk, he walked over to the couch and sat on the edge, looking down at
Evelyn and Nina sauntered into the women's clothing shop. Seeing how pricey the clothes were, Evelyn hesitated. Nina had a good eye when choosing clothes but she had expensive taste. The last thing Evelyn wanted to do was splurge on someone else’s account. "I think we should check other stores." She said to Nina who was happily picking dresses for her. "Why? This store has the best quality of clothes.” “But… I don’t want to waste Damian’s money. Everything is too expensive here.” Evelyn replied. “Damian gave you his limitless card, meaning you can spend as much as you want. He will feel bad if you refuse to spend his money." Nina said and picked a pair of blue jean shorts and a peach lace crop top. "Here, try this on. You have a lovely tiny waist, I believe this can look good on you." She pushed the two pieces of clothes into Evelyn's hands and pushed her towards the fitting room. Sighing, Evelyn reluctantly changed into the clothes but she had difficulty buttoning up t
Many years ago, Raymond Ressler and his best friend Noah Johnson were prosecutors at a private law firm. Together they worked hard to put criminals behind bars. Noah in particular didn't tolerate injustice. To him, no one was above the law. If a case was brought to him, it didn't matter if it was a congressman who had committed a crime. He would always do his best to ensure justice was served. However, there were certain individuals who thought they were above the law. Those who belonged to the crime group called the Mafia. These people committed crimes, and conducted illegal businesses but were still left to roam around freely because they were deemed dangerous. Noah thought it was ridiculous for a country governed by law to be ruled by criminals in secret. So when a client went to him with a case involving the Mafia, he put his all into it. Noah was threatened so many times to stop digging into issues that didn't concern him but he was stubborn and stood firm in his belief.
"I'll be out for two weeks. Make sure our rivals don't find out. The last thing we want is greedy people coming after the empire when I'm away." Damian said to Jack as they drove back to the club after completing another mission. "Don't worry, I'll keep the empire safe. You can trust me on that." Jack responded. He was referring to the territory. If their rivals knew that their leader was gone, they would start an uprising. Even though they both knew their men wouldn't betray them by pledging allegiance to the other Mafia, they still had to be careful. Not everyone has the willpower to withstand harsh torture methods. They would end up surrendering in no time and it would be difficult for Damian to take back control of his territory from the enemy's clutches so they had to keep his absence a secret. "Mmmm." Damian hummed a reply. He crossed his arms over his chest and laid his head back in the seat, thinking about his kitten. He couldn't help but wonder. What was she doing n
Evelyn stared at the two red lines that looked like they were glowing mockingly at her, her stomach churning in all kinds of ways. She felt unnerved. How could she be pregnant? Her heart was racing and her skin had turned pale. To say she was shocked would be an understatement. She was terrified. What would this discovery mean for her? Especially now that she had learned of the truth behind her parent’s death. When the doctor suggested she take a pregnancy test, she rejected the idea outright knowing she had been careful. It was only when the doctor told her the symptoms she was having suggested she was carrying that she decided to have a test to rule out pregnancy. Little did she know that she would be in for a shock. She fell pregnant at the moment when she had just discovered horrifying things about Damian and decided to leave him for good. Was life playing a joke on her? What kind of timing was this? Evelyn’s mind was awashed by different thoughts. This piece of news
