CHAPTER THIRTY | THE REVELATION LUCAS KNIGHT“No, I won't do it. I won't do any of those things. Vivian Knight is my wife, and should be seen and respected as my wife. I don't want Bianca. Hell, I only manage to tolerate her as a friend. I won't marry her." I say firmly. My Grandfather laughs loudly like he is on crack. “I knew you would say something foolish, and that is why I found a solution. You don't have a choice in this matter Lucas Knight. Your precious Vivian Addams should be dead by now, her body thrown into the deep ocean where no one can ever find it. Along with the useless cop you call a friend and his deranged cousin." “What the hell did you do Grandpa?" I ask in fright.I have always feared my Grandfather, but the fear I feel around him is so much greater than any other. “I did what any sensible man would do, I got rid of every and any threat to my business. I won't sit back and let somebody tamper with something that took me so much time and effort to build. That wo

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO | THE MISSIONLUCAS KNIGHT The mission is simple: kill Vera Knight and leave no traces behind. I never thought I would become a murderer but I have to do this to win my Grandfather's trust. I need him to hand over the ownership of the company to me. I knock on Vera's door but find it open. I walk in and slowly start searching for her. The house is a mess, everything is scattered. It looks like a hurricane hit here.“Vera!" I look around, wondering what could have caused the havoc when I notice blood on the ground. I trail the blood and it leads me to a badly bleeding Vera holding a knife in her throat. I don't even wait to check if she is alive or not before I rush out of there. I am a fucking coward.Looks like someone beat me to my mission, or this was all a plan of my Grandfather to pin her death on me.I run out of the premises and go back to the Knight's mansion.My Grandfather welcomes me with a smile when I get home. “Welcome boy, you did a good job. Word

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR | THE EVIL REVEALED VIVIAN ADDAMS AJ's face turns beetroot red and he looks around hopelessly. I decided to help the poor guy and save him from embarrassment. “You still haven't told us why you locked us in for two days. And while you're at it, I will also like to know what you did in those two days you locked us up." I inform her. “I did that because...because I knew you guys won't understand anything and may want to leave and then get yourselves killed. I did that to protect you guys." She says so quietly that I almost didn't hear her.Honestly, she has a valid point, with the way she was acting the night she saved us, I would have found a way to leave this place immediately she dropped us here. She literally took us, no explanation, no assurance that she is with us and not against us, no nothing. She just dropped us in the house, locked us up and left. AJ tried multiple times to break the door but couldn't. Ada left us in a house that was fully stocked and d

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX | UNANSWERED QUESTIONSVIVIAN ADDAMS “Where is Vera Knight now? Was he able to take her to a safe place?" “I think that question should be left unanswered." What the fuck does she mean? Why can't she just answer the question? If Lucas was sent to kill Vera Knight and didn't, she should be safe now. Is she trying to hide where Vera is from us? “Where is Vera Knight Ada?" AJ asks her. “The next person that asks me about Vera Knight's whereabouts would be joining her. She is fucking missing, Lucas didn't find her when he went to her place." She explains.She is fucking lying and it is obvious...at least to me.Everything about what she said is suspicious. First, she threatened to send anyone who asked about her again to that place she is, then she says she is missing. Which means that she most likely knows where Vera is, she is just playing dumb. I won't be surprised if she is the one that kidnapped her. I believe she wouldn't have threatened us with that if she d

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT | THE GOD OF DEATHVIVIAN ADDAMS“I am taking you directly to MR Knight, and you can do anything you want to do with him." I inform her. “How the hell do you know where Phoenix Knight would be?" “Phoenix Knight is an open book. The many years of me observing him has made realize his major weakness. He is a bloody coward. He can kill a person, kidnap a person, involve himself in major illegal activities but once it comes to facing the consequences of his actions, he backes out. Another thing about Mr. Phoenix Knight is that he hates going down alone. He is always going to try and take someone with him. I know the first person that would come to his mind is Lucas Knight. From the information my men gave me, Lucas is in his mother's grave, so that is where we are going right now!" I explain in a rush.I silently gaze at her through the rearview mirror. “My gut tells me that you are scared Luke isn't the only person he's after. You thinks he will come after one of u
