Mora lowered her head in shame, she doesn't even know who the father of the child is.She took a deep breath and faced her mother, “Mom, do you remember how I got home that night?” she asked.Mama Sarah frowned, she remembered Mora appearing at the doorsteps in strangers' arms looking drunk “yes, yes, you have asked me this once” she reiterated with a frown.Mora shook her head, “I don't know who is the father of the child, after that night, I… I…” she blushed, she couldn't tell her mother about losing her virginity.Mama Sarah became furious, and stormed out of the house, Mora became apprehensive and chased after her.“Mom, where are you going?” she yelled at the top of her voice, her heart beating wildly.Mama Sarah didn't bother about her, she was so furious, that her face became red in anger, “I am going to teach those kids a lesson” she muttered.She still remembered who brought Mora home that night, she had not expected that someone have taken advantage of her daughter that nigh
Mr. Stones looked at the man wearing a hat face pensively, he dare not blink waiting for his reaction.“Let's go,” he said casually, and leaned on the back seat, Mr. Stones was confused, and he doesn't know what his Boss is thinking.He came out clean, “Boss, are we going to the Agora residence?” he asked tentatively.“No” the man wearing a hat snapped, Mr. Stones smiled nervously “we are going to the warehouse, we will be leading the goods out of District Z tonight” he declared without sparing Mr. Stones a look.Mr. Stones exhaled in relief, they drove to the warehouse, and several trucks lined up around the warehouse.The sight is eye-catching, workers started grabbing boxes and loading them inside the trucks.After an hour, the warehouse was emptied, Mr. Stones, who was supervising the loading, ran to meet the man wearing a hat, sweating profusely.Panicking “Boss, there is a problem, the military has gotten wind of the transfer of the goods, they have laid a siege along the way” h
The moment he said this, Mama Sarah at the other end was silent for a long time. “Is Vanessa aware of this?” she finally asked.The man wearing a hat sighed softly, “I don't know” he responded.“Thank you” her voice sounded weak.She hung up, the man wearing a hat returned Mr. Stones' phone, he smiled cheekily.“Oh- my phone, you are finally back to me,” Mr. Stones said dramatically, the corners of the lips of the man wearing a hat twitched.At midnight, the man wearing a hat stepped out of the warehouse, he glanced at Mr. Stones “you have to stay back” he said.And swept his gaze at the gunmen waiting for his command “we will be moving soon, don't die, stay alive”“Yes, Boss” they echoed in unison.The man wearing a hat entered his car, while the trucks led the way, Mr. Stones watched helplessly, he wanted to go with his Boss.The warehouse manager sneaked behind him “Aham” he startled Mr. Stones, his shoulders rose instinctively, and the manager roared in laughter, tapping his stom
The driver tensed up, but the man sitting in the back seat was relaxed, he handed a plastic I.D card to the driver.The soldier became anxious and grabbed his rifle, quietly calculating timely to pull the trigger.The driver handed an I.D card to the soldier, the moment he saw the I.D his face changed, and he started shivering in fright.“I am sorry, sir, drive ahead” he granted them entrance exhaling in a deep breath.The driver received the I.D card with a smug smile and drove away, a few soldiers standing guard looked at their comrade with askance looks.“What is the matter?” one of them asked.“I nearly offended a big shot” he lamented, swatting beads of sweat on his forehead, he is just a recruit.The man wearing a hat parked his car at an abandoned clubhouse, he came out and opened the car booth.He lifted Mayor Lycan from the car's booth, and lay him on the ground, he watched him intently.And crouched looking at him, “Lucy, this is your son” he said softly and stood on his fee
He barely regained his stance when a kick sent him flying some meters, he landed on the ground.His breathing was rapid, he shut his eyes and remembered his past.He saw the gentle figure of a lady patting his back while he was eating at the table, with her rosy lips and beautiful face “Santiago, I don't feel good about your job, your boss is paying you too much” she complained with a frown.Santiago took her palm and kissed it “stop worrying, I am going to make a lot of money, our kids will not suffer” he assured the lady.His eyes opened slightly and sprang to his feet with chagrin, his eyes darted around him.He seized his breathing, “Hahaha!” the wild laughter came once again, and he heard light touches of feet on the ground.He flies in the direction with a kick, bang!Don Santiago sent the person flying with just one kick, the man he kicked widened his eyes in shock and wanted to escape.With his clumsy way of getting up to his feet, Don Santiago appeared before him and grabbed

Mayor Lycan wasn't interested in arguing with Pretty at all, his face was creased with worry.They arrived at the auction venue, and came out of the car, some elites of District Z came to meet him.Even his supporters who were mainly peasants stood by the roadside looking pitiful, their livelihoods and homes will all be snapped up by the rich, integrating them into the cruel society.“Mayor, Mayor” he heard them decried, but the security team barred them from going any further.He glanced at them and his heart moved, Pretty was annoyed, she felt like the peasants were too much, after 'causing trouble they have the nerves to protest again “good, don't allow them to come any close” she mumbled under her breath.“Mayor Lycan” someone called his attention, that is when he retracted his gaze from the protesting crowd of peasants and took the outstretched arm.“It has been a long time since I last saw you, is good to have you back in the District, Raph,” he said with a big smile while talki
