Chapter: Chapter 0151“What?” “Is that any way to greet your father, Zade?” His deep voice drawled, a mixture of condescension and feigned warmth. “I don’t see the point of niceties when I know you’re only calling to dictate something I’ll refuse.” I replied sharply. He chuckled darkly, the sound grating against my

Chapter: Chapter 0150Elaine's Pov “So, what next? That woman isn't going to give up, is she?” I questioned, crossing my arms. Elijah had given me the picture of her family, sister, father and assistant and they looked like a bunch of people who never gave up on something they wanted. I could see it in their eyes too.

Chapter: Chapter 0149Jenny was sitting near her back, her hands working her magic in her back, kneading away all the knots and tension in her shoulders. She met her sister’s gaze briefly before lowering her head. “Jenny, leave us.” Mila ordered but no one moved. Mila narrowed her eyes, “Jenny.” “Mila. Say whatever y

Chapter: Chapter 0147Elaine's Pov As we walked through the grand hallways toward the west wing, my mother glanced at me with a mixture of pride and concern.

Chapter: Chapter 0146The weight of her words hung in the air, but I met her gaze steadily. If she thought she could intimidate me, she was sorely mistaken. “Don’t worry.” I said calmly, “I intend to.” Turning back to my mother, fully intending on ignoring the woman who just barged into the room, I continued speaking,

Chapter: Chapter 179 The End.... Or is it?"Yes. I think that works better." Micheal replied to Esme and then waved goodbye. He sent people to ambush Sebastian and the other two wherever they wanted to land.John had already found ways to implicate the church as well. Since they were also involved in the building of Mamba and the killings of all those children, they were bound to be punished as well. Scarlett and Leonard had fished out all of the traitors surrounding their organizations immediately after Jamarion was rescued and taken to the hospital. Now the organization was in reform and rebuilding. Everything was coming to an end so fast that Esme still thought she was dreaming. ONE WEEK LATEREsme and Izayah walked hand in hand to the place where they held Sebastian and the other two. The cell was so dark and dreary. It was just like the cell that held Esme in, in her past. The sound of chains rattling echoed throughout the corridors and it felt like a heavy burden on Esme's heart. She was finally going to meet the pe

Chapter: Chapter 178 Towards The End Part 2 "Crap!." Sebastian angrily cleared all the papers from his table and without even looking at the papers.The headquarters was thrown into a state of disarray. They were suddenly attacked by external forces. How their location was even found was still a baffling thought to him. He quickly put everything that he deemed reusable or important into his bag and held it with one hand. Without further ado, he went to the secret room and opened the closet where he held Number Seven hostage.Her body was already dried up and withered. Even the liquid thst he had been trying to extract had turned into a big pile of goop. "Mr Sebastian, we have to leave now! The lower floor has already been destroyed. It won't take long for them to reach here." "Alright. Let's go!." Sebastian hit a red button. It's the control switch for a sprinkler. However, it wasn't the normal water sprinkler. A white gas emitted from the sprinklers onto the ground and anything the gas touched melted and was destroyed, incl

Chapter: Chapter 177 Towards The Ending "Mom?.""Come over here, Zeke. Just give her some space." Rielle motioned for Zeke to come closer, but instead of paying attention to what his mother was saying, Zeke wrapped his hands more tightly around Esme's shoulders, to the point that it began to harm her."Zeke, you should listen to your mother. You're not going to tell me that you've turned into a defiant person who disobeys her, are you? I have always emphasised to you how important it is to pay attention to your mother and to never disregard her instructions, no matter what it is that she wants you to do." Esme gargled her words in silence.This person is not Zeke. There is no way that it is Zeke.Esme's gaze travelled all around the living area. She was looking for something that she could use to get herself out of the situation.If the person who is holding her is not Zeke, then it must be someone that Mamba has sent over to keep an eye on them both. It's possible that their faces are just masks.Her attention was drawn to

Chapter: Chapter 176 Highly Abnormal "You are under no obligation to place your faith in me at this time, but I know that you are aware that these items can be of assistance to you in eliminating Mamba. I will be patiently awaiting your reassuring words, Miss Esme. Stay safe and be careful." It's not that Esme wished to say anything, but it seemed as though the man knew that she would not reply to him no matter what he said, so he hung up the phone before she could say anything.A string of notifications began arriving in Esme's inbox not long after that. When she first opened the documents, her mouth dropped open in surprise, and her hands began to shake as she read about everything that Master Xander had done throughout his years of hiding. Esme was so incensed that she was only just able to stifle the yell of anger that was about to explode out of her throat for a moment longer.As if assisting Mamba in completing those tasks wasn't enough, Master Xander had to go and add even more!She continued reading, but that was

Chapter: Chapter 175 Help From Another Place"It is possible that she is the traitor. It would be wise for you to suggest to your mother that she check in with that woman and find out what she has been up to recently. If she is in fact the one who leaked the information about Jamarion being sent on a mission, then catching her off guard will be an effective approach to determine whether or not she is the culprit. Perhaps she even has some idea of the location to where he was taken to." Esme suggested to Izayah, and he reflected on what Esme had just said. Her concerns were valid, but he couldn't help but wonder how she was aware of all of these things."If you are curious about how I knew what I did, it's because I talked to someone who filled me in on a lot of details and gave me some explanations. Please put your faith in me regarding this, and look into your mother's organization. It's possible that a large number of traitors are hiding out in that location. Always err on the side of caution instead than regret.""Then we're

Chapter: Chapter 174 Jamarion was Kidnapped "Brother, may I use your phone if it's okay with you? I need to get in touch with Miss Esme, I have something to tell her." When Jeremy brought out his phone and offered it to Princess, she immediately reached out with both of her chubby little palms to grab it.Princess dialled Esme's number in a hurry, and it didn't take her more than two rings to pick up the phone when it rang."Jeremy?""It's not brother. My name is Princess." She said to Esme, who took a momentary hesitation before letting out a chuckle."Is that why you wanted to speak with me? You wanted to tell me your name?" The tone of Esme's voice was soothing, yet it also had a playful element to it."Yes... I mean no. I have something else to tell you. The road we were on when we met today will take us through the same location again tomorrow.""Am I going to have any issues?""I failed to mention that Mamba had also placed some personnel there in order to keep an eye on you. They have evidence that you regularly pause to

Chapter: Chapter 10Chapter 10 Naomi stared at Zade for a while, she was trying to determine just what he was thinking, not that she could but she wanted to try, though it didn't take her anywhere. “I'll let you think about it for a while. For now, I have something that I have to tell you, you can sit down over there.” Zade pointed to the farthest sofa away from him, but she could still hear him closely. “I've received news about Allen,” Zade began, watching as Naomi tensed up, her body trembling, “He's searching for you as we speak, he has his eyes on the whole city.” Naomi's heart pounded in her chest, her pulse quickening at the mere mention of Allen’s name. She forced herself to sit on the sofa Zade had pointed to, her legs feeling weak beneath her, “He’s… looking for me?” She managed to choke out, her voice barely a whisper. The room seemed to close in around her, the walls pressing in tighter as fear took hold.Zade’s eyes didn’t leave her. “Yes,” He said calmly, too calmly, as if this wasn’t t

Chapter: Chapter 9Chapter 9 “So which one do you want? My body, my heart or my life?” Naomi questioned at that moment, Zade knew that he had to be extremely careful with Naomi. She was too scarred as a human and he didn't even know the extent of it. So Zade decided to take the hard way out. “Naomi, I apologise if I gave you the idea that I needed anything from you, and I definitely do not need what you have just mentioned.” Zade began, his voice low but calm, “I'm a sought after person, mostly between the ladies and even a few men, I don't need a woman like you to pleasure me, that is, I have no interest in your body nor any intention to take your heart and definitely not your life. I am a doctor, I can't take your life away from you.” Naomi’s eyes narrowed at Zade’s words, her fingers trembling slightly as she clenched her hands into fists. She was used to people wanting something from her, her body, her obedience, her silence. His calm rejection of all three made her feel small, like a broken toy

Chapter: Chapter 8Chapter 8“Have you found her?” Allen questioned the man who stood behind him. The man shook his head, not saying anything but Allen had realised what he was trying to say. “So… You still haven't found her yet.” He murmured softly, turning around to stare at the windows. He stood up, crouching a little bit over the table, then suddenly, he swept everything off the table with his hands, slamming them on the bare table. “It has been one week and yet you still haven't found her!” Allen's voice was a low growl as he stood there, seething with frustration. His fists clenched, his knuckles white as he glared at the man who dared to deliver the bad news. The room was eerily silent, the remnants of the objects he'd swept off the table scattered across the floor.“Do you not understand what is at stake here?” Allen took a deep breath and said calmly, glancing at the man who shrunk even further. It was no news to them how wicked and ruthless Allen was. Even now, he was trying to silence a wom

Chapter: Chapter 7Chapter 7 Naomi stuffed the cake she was given into her mouth, her eyes watering at the taste of it. She couldn't stop eating no matter how hard she tried to. How long had it been since she tasted something like this? How was she…“Mmph…” She tried to choke back a sob, but that proved to be a mistake as instead, she choked on her cake. The sudden fit of cough shook her small body, her chest heaving as she struggled to breathe. “Miss Naomi!” Eva yelled in panic, running closer to her while grabbing a glass and filling it up with water from the dispenser. She handed it to Naomi who chugged it down quickly. “You're fine. You're fine.” Eva said slowly, patting Naomi's back, her touch warm and reassuring.But Naomi wasn’t fine. The taste of the cake, something so simple and sweet, had triggered a flood of memories she had fought so hard to bury. Her mind was pulled back to those days when food was scarce, and she was left to starve, her body weakened by hunger. Her husband’s cruel eyes

Chapter: Chapter 6 Memories Chapter 6 Memories Naomi sat on her bed, her eyes looking over the huge room that she had been given. It was ten times bigger than the attic she used to sleep in while at Allen’s. She had one question though, “Why is he helping me?” She asked herself. She couldn't still wrap her head around him or his motives for doing what he's doing now. Naomi knew that she had nothing she could give him and a man like Zade could never ask for her body, he had no shortage of women around him. She stood up and walked towards the huge mirror that was at the corner of her room, staring at her reflection. Her face was gaunt and pale, she raised her clothing up to reveal her rib cage and thin waist, thin wrists and the bruises all around her body. Allen had really turned her into a shadow of her own past, her parents had sold her right to the devil, the devil whom she thought she loved. “Haha… I was so stupid.” She chuckled bitterly, the memories of Allen raping her and then throwing he

Chapter: Chapter 5Chapter 5“I… It was an accident, I didn't mean to… I was just…” Naomi tried to explain, but words didn't come out. The doctor's eyes narrowed as he stared at her, “You're bleeding.” He observed and moved closer to her. Out of habit, she flinched, raised her hands to shield herself from the hit she thought was coming. “I'm not going to hit you, I just want to check your head.” He said softly, after he was done, he moved away from her. “You're wounded, you have to get yourself treated.” “B… but I don't have any money. I also have nothing to offer you. I…” She was about to speak but was cut off by the doctor. "Miss Naomi… Come with me!" Doctor Zade stumbled over his words. His eyes were filled with nothing but empathy for her."I should come with you? Why? Since the moment that you treated me at the hospital, I've been aware of the way that you've been watching me. Why do you want to be of assistance to me when you don't even know me?" Naomi aimed her attention squarely at him. Na
