It was finally the day when Antonio was to be lowered into the ground. All of his burial rites were performed, and the last one was going to take place today.The hustling and bustling in the mansion was clear as different cars were brought into view in the compound. Guards in all black trooped into some cars, leaving a few empty cars for their boss and his family.Shortly after, Don walked out of the house with Draco and Rex trailing behind him in all black attires, just that Don's was a lot fancier.“.... His body was found near the ocean by one of our source, and it seemed like he was killed by a gunshot.” They stopped in front of a Black BMW XUV Jeep and Don turned to Draco, who just finished talking. “So, Ricardo is dead?”“Yes boss.”“Where is his body?” Don asked, his left eyebrow wrinkled up in a frown.Since Ricardo betrayed the clan, he didn't stop searching for him, so hearing this news made him pissed. He'd wanted to be the one to end his life.“We burnt it.” This was wha
All the guards that were assigned to Lillian were gathered in a row, their heads lowered to the ground as their hands clung to each other on their crotch area.They looked anxious, no doubts! So, they tried to hide it by all means. It was futile to reveal how scared they felt, even though the atmosphere alone was tense.Bella was seen pacing to and fro in front of them, she ran her hand over her hair at intervals.“Have you searched everywhere in the vicinity?” She asked as she finally stopped pacing after a long while.Her question seemed off, even to her because she knew they've searched everywhere in the area but didn't find anything that could help.“Yes.” One of the guards replied with a low tone. He was already nervous ahead, for the worst was yet to come from their boss. “It's obvious she'd been kidnapped.” He added, but this only frustrated Bella.“Oh goodness!” She groaned out as she started pacing around again.She had gone to the hospital to join Lillian as planned, but the
The look in his eyes was looking rather scary to Lillian, and she wondered immensely who he was.He didn't reply to her when she asked, so she tried to think back to all the faces she had seen in her entire life, but his didn't ring a bell. His last statement also increased her curiosity, leaving her to continue wondering who he was.'Could he be a close family to Mark?' She thought in her head, but her mind countered it. If he was truly a family member of Mark, then what would he want with her?Not like any of them knew her, neither did she know any of them. Just as if Pablo had just gotten out of a trance, the look on his face became cold with a glint of hatred in his eyes.Lillian noticed this and decided to change her question, “What do you want with me? I don't recall ever meeting you before.”“Of course you won't because the last time we met was when you were in your mother's womb.”“Excuse me?”“You don't know who I am, but your parents are very familiar with me. In fact, we w
“We searched the CCTV footage for the supposed area and, as expected, it's been altered. It only showed the part where the Lady and maid stepped out to check the unconscious guards in another car, the rest of what took place wasn't found.” “It was also known that the security guards there were all unconscious at the said time, which means….”“Which means that this person really knows what he is doing. But who could he be? Or could it be......” Bella cut Draco short as her mind drifted to Mark, but strangely, she doubted if he had such authority or resources.“I doubt if he was. Even if he was behind it, I believe he had back up, someone with a similar goal compared to his.” Don also thought of Mark, but being in this game for long, he understood that not just anyone had the power to pull such strings.Nobody said anything for a while, and this gave Draco the opportunity to speak again.“We've sent messages across to all of our connections in the country, but there hasn't been news ye
“I want to get rid of that so-called wife of his, I don't think I can stand her even though we're just knowing each other. That b**ch is beginning to step on my toes.” “She has a name.”“Do I look like I f**king care? Whatever name she goes by, whether Lillian Blake or Killian Black, I just want one thing, and that is to get rid of her while she is still new.”“So?”“So, I want you to do something, and it's slightly simple, though dangerous.”“Danger is literally my other name, but first, what do I get in return?”“Whatever you ask for. Hold on…. What are you staring at? You want my body?”“You got it, babe.”“Just do what I want, and you'll have all you ask for.” The recording paused and that was Eva lifted her head, her mouth, and eyes wide open in shock. She glanced at the person whom she would rather die than have to listen to the recording at the moment and felt her life was over.Listening to the conversation she had with Klaus some months back made her whole world crumble. Ju
“Boss, as we speak, they're after me and......” Mara glanced at the men running after her and she mumbled, “F*ck!”They were so close to her that in a few seconds they could catch up with her. F*ck herself for making the injuries on her look so real. Now, she couldn't even run properly with all the injuries she inflicted on herself.The men, who happened to be Don's guards, split into two groups as one group out took Mara and blocked her from running further.Figuring there was no other way out as the guards already circled her with their guns pointing directly at her, Mara halted and without a second warning, threw her phone into the nearby river.All the guards were shocked, realizing what she just did, but none of them bulged to retrieve the phone. As long as they caught Mara first, they're sure to get all the information they wanted, including the reason she shot Eva.“Hello? Mara!” The line had already disconnected, but Pablo didn't realize it until there was no more sound from th
Bella stood, glaring at the man in front of her, that if not for just a good reason, she would have strangled him to death right there.After so many days of searching and trying to find him, he was finally found. But then, it was so unfortunate that nothing could be done to him at the moment.“I think you can stop glaring now, else your eyes might pop out any moment.” Mark finally said, not able to endure the harsh gazes he was receiving from Bella.He was roughly tied in a piece on the cold floor, that it was so difficult to even move a body part. Though, he was already in that state before Bella and her brother arrived.“I don't mind, as long as you go down first. And don't think you're doing us a favor here because you're one of the reasons all this is happening.” The hostile glare didn't leave Bella's face as she spat out her anger.“That stupid brother of yours had better f**king bring Lillian back.” Mark retorted with so much loathe behind his voice.Even though Bella's anger k
Don tucked his gun into his pants as he glared at the men on the ground, some were unconscious while a few were groaning in extreme pain. He didn't waste any more seconds before he left the area.Pablo was actually more prepared, considering the number of guards he had secretly placed in the building. Fortunately, Don and his personal guards were well-trained enough to take them all down. Although, they wouldn't stop trooping into the building, more like they already knew of the intruders.As Don ran up the stairs, he was more vigilant than ever. The occurrence from earlier should never happen again, especially since he had only a limited time.Yes! He was already informed by Sir. Jeffrey about the short time they had to rescue Lillian. He would rather not waste a second out of it even though, three minutes had passed already.He halted when he got to a hallway leading to different rooms. Opening one of the rooms, he concluded he wouldn't be able to make it if he searched through them
