Velon fell to the floor in pain. When he saw Lawrence approaching him, his mind went blank and he called out to him in fright. "They came to me. They said they could help me continue leading the luxurious life your brother had ruined for me!" Velon yelled but Lawrence didn't stop walking. "Why didn't you say that when I asked you the first time? You really think I don't dare to kill you?" Lawrence scoffed and Velon shook his head in fright. "Please forgive me! Please forgive me!" Lawrence sighed at the sight of the man and bent over to his level. "I don't want to kill you but that can only happen when you do exactly as I say." "I will do whatever you ask me to do." Velon swore. "Whether you live up to your word is your business because you'll be dead the moment you think you can mess with me and get away with it. Do you understand?" Lawrence asked and the other man nodded again."Fair enough." Lawrence said after a moment of silence, "Stand up, we have somewhere to be right now.
Marcus straightened up and frowned when he saw Leonard Verlice. The three children also ran to him when they saw him. Marcus glanced up at Leonard again. His informant had told him Leonard didn't really tolerate Pierce. So what was the man trying to prove by doing this? "Oh, come on, man. Your grudge with their parents has nothing to do with them. Be the bigger one and don't try to involve such innocent children." Leonard said, narrowing his eyes at Marcus trying to see if he knew the man from somewhere. His eyes trailed to the unconscious teacher who lay just a little farther from Marcus. "Did you do that to her? Pierce and Queenie always have a solid reason for despising someone greatly, don't they?" Leonard scoffed again. Although he was a privileged bastard, he held a certain amount of respect for teachers. "Man, you're not really cool with their parents. Stop the cool heroic act before you regret it." Marcus replied, rolling up his sleeves. "Sure, you can go ahead and hit
Unlike how Jessica expected the man to react, Raphael turned to look at her and raised the gun above his head where he was sure she would see it. "Are you crazy? Do you have any idea what Queenie will do to you for killing someone in her territory?" Jessica asked, afraid for him. To her surprise, the man smiled and shrugged. "Queenie and I are no longer at odds. She said to do what I want as long as it doesn't inconvenience her. And I really needed to take care of him before I lose him again." Once again, Jessica was dumbfounded. When did Queenie become so generous? She didn't let the matter bug her anymore. She walked back to his hotel room and swiped the room card Queenie had given her. Seeing this, the man's lips spasmed. Queenie really had no idea what privacy is! Nevertheless, he walked in right after her. As soon as they were gone, two people appeared; one with a mop and bucket and the other pushing a trolley. The dead man was skillfully placed inside the trolley and wheel
Maile Behind a car, two figures made out for several minutes. "Queenie will kill us if she discovers we haven't really done anything." Roxanne groaned, pushing the clingy man aside. Lucas refused to part with her as he held her tightly by the waist. "It's not like she'll find out unless you tell her."Roxanne managed to wriggle out of his grip. When the man intended to hold her again, she raised her leg and targeted his crotch but missed as he caught it on time. "Nah nah nah, that part is the most important part of my body at the moment." He said and grabbed her. His grip only loosened when he caught sight of something and poked out his head. Roxanne tried to do the same but the man pressed her head back. She was about to struggle when her ears turned red upon hearing some ungodly sounds. "Next time, you don't have to visit me in my office. I'll call you when I need you." A man's voice came up. "You never actually call me. It seems as though you often forget about my existence
Velon felt the back of his head go numb as Queenie's gaze at him soon transformed into a glare. "Are you trying to turn me against my husband?" She suddenly asked. Velon shook his head hurriedly. "I was confused when I found out he was the one. You don't really think I'm lying, do you?" Velon scoffed. Deborah walked behind Velon and stared right into Queenie's eyes. "I hate to ask this, Queenie but I have to. How well do you know your husband?" "To the extent of having a child for him." "Spare me the details. Anyone can have a child for any man. In your case, he had even inseminated you with his sperm when you went for your daily check ups. Which brings me to the question, is Velon Aspen infertile because Pierce had to do it once and he got you pregnant." As she asked that question, she pressed down firmly on Velon's shoulder. So much that he cried out in pain. "This talk isn't about your fertility. I don't care if you are. But I want you to be truthful to me or you won't get t
The Verlice's VillaLeonard walked into the house carrying Aster who draped her hands over his neck and buried her face in his neck. The two elders stared at him in surprise wondering what he was up to. It was no surprise that Leonard hardly did anything because he wanted to. There was always a price attached to it. After their grandmother handed them over to their nannies, Leonard's grandfather turned to him. "We were surprised when we received a call from the school saying a relative had dropped by to pick them up. When their description matched you, we thought you had something terrible on your mind." The old man said, breathing out a relieved sigh. "I have a problem with their parents, not them. Why would I want to harm them?" Leonard asked in disbelief. "Just after you left, we were told you were right on time because an unknown man dropped to pick them up. He even gave proof he was one of the Verlice and had been sent by me." Only one name came up in Leonard's mind and alt
Raphael's breath hitched. He needed no one to tell him he just happened to be lucky. Thankfully, he had acted fast or she would've really killed him. "Most times you give people the illusion you're their friend but you won't hesitate to kill them when they disobey you." He said hesitantly. "What? Do you expect me to thank them for trying to kill me?" She sneered, looking up at him. "Besides, as the friend they claim to be, they shouldn't always be forced into thinking they can attempt to kill me just because they had been threatened and I wouldn't do anything about it. I want to live as well, so why not." "So, who was that woman who asked you to kill me and my friends?" Queenie asked, diverting to the matter that brought her. "She's my superior in the office." Replied Raphael. "And she suddenly asked you to kill me. Do you know her name?" Queenie asked and Raphael nodded but didn't make a move to say anything. She understood he was sworn to be silent by an oath. "Let me get this
"Someone was here." Pierce sighed, quickly taking a seat. He watched Queenie's subtle expression before asking, "Who do you think must've done this?" "According to Floral, no one other than my parents knew the code to this office. Even my brothers and I didn't know." She said, putting on a confused look. "Then have you ever thought that the organization might've planted someone in the Knight's family or your mother's family? The sole reason why she had to make an office in your father's office." Pierce asked, tiling his head back a little. Queenie thought that his words made sense but she couldn't really prove it. She walked to a corner of the room where she had found odd and knocked slightly on it. The empty sound it threw back at her assured her there was something behind the walls. "Interesting." Pierce mumbled and walked towards her. Ever since he agreed to come with her, he made her promise to leave the hardwork for him while she focused on meager things such as questioning
Pierce walked out of the bathroom with a towel tied loosely around his waist. Queenie who had been sulking on the bed raised her eyes to say something but it got stuck in her throat seeing his chiseled muscles.It also occurred to her this was the most intimate she had ever been with Pierce. Her body heated up at the thought of that and she groaned in displeasure. She was supposed to be angry but she was horny instead. Pierce had no idea what was going on with her but he did notice her frown deepened every passing second. "Queenie, are you alright?" He asked slowly and she snapped out of her thoughts. However, she ignored him. The man chuckled to himself and walked to the clothes he had taken off before going to have his bath. He took out something and handed it over to her. "Just like I thought, you were the one with the diary." She mumbled as she took it. "Yes. I came across it once in her office and decided to take it. Unfortunately, when I read the part regarding the formula,
Velon managed to get them through the corridor undetected. Queenie practically limped the whole time but quietly. However, just before they got to the elevator, they saw a green light and froze. There was someone inside. There was no time for them to decide as the elevator dinged open and Henry walked out of it. His face scrunched over when he realized what was going on and he immediately raised an alarm. "Who are you and who gave you the go ahead order to move them?" His sharp voice echoed throughout the empty corridor. Velon and Queenie felt movements towards them and sighed silently. Just like that, their perfect escape had been ruined by a lousy mouth relative. Despite her weak state, she tried to move when Velon held her back. "If you do that they'll get you again. Just get into the elevator." Upon hearing him, Henry scoffed and stood guard in front of the elevator door. Taking Queenie down would've been an impossible task but at this point, he knew she was beyond weak and
"But I still don't understand what the talk has to do with your plan with the formula for more drugs." Queenie scoffed, turning her face back to Mishael. "True. I've deviated from my storyline." The man replied, flashing an apologetic smile. "My father spent all his life's savings on Transformers because he knew he'd get more out of the product. The Transformers' drugs boost the human body. Increases things like speed, retention ability and some special abilities one might acquire as a side effect." "So you're trying to tell me you plan on doing the same thing which caused my mother to burn down the laboratory in the first place?" Queenie asked just to be sure and the man nodded. "It's called, continuing the family's legacy." Mishael enunciated and walked back to where he dropped his bottle of bourbon. "What if they don't find it?" Queenie asked as he filled his cup again. He only gave a dark chuckle. "I don't mind doing the same thing my father did." "Bring children and use the
Texas Velon returned home after being released by Queenie. He first had his son released but as he looked down at the boy, his heart skipped when he realized there was no resemblance between. "Daddy, those people took mommy away." Matt said, tears brewing in his eyes. He hadn't forgotten the sight he saw that day. "We'll go to mommy now. Don't cry." Velon consoled snapping out of his world.He grabbed the boy and took him into his arms. Just to affirm that Queenie was just messing with him, he stopped by a hospital and had them run a paternity test. "The result will be out in an hour, sir." The doctor told him. Then his eyes settled on Matt. "You have a handsome boy." "Thank you." Velon replied and led Matt out of the hospital. "The results can also be sent to your email in case you don't make it here on time. It's always more convenient." The doctor added with a smile. Finding no harm in it, Velon gave the doctor his email address before leaving. He found the police station w
Lucas and Audrey turned to see Deborah standing behind them with a smile. The most baffling thing was that they had no idea when she arrived. "How long have you been here?" Lucas asked, turning to her fully. Deborah flicked her wristwatch and stared at the time for a few seconds before raising her head again, "Three minutes. Just enough to kill you both and dump your bodies in the middle of the sea."If she was trying to scare them, she didn't succeed as they just stared at her blankly. "What are you doing here?" Deborah asked again, furrowing his brows in displeasure. "I worked for your parents. Of course I had to attend your father's funeral." Deborah replied with a snicker. "They gave you away. Frankly speaking, you don't look like you care about him." Lucas continued saying while Audrey watched silently. "You're right." Deborah chuckled, "I came to be sure Queenie won't run with the medicine she purified. It's unfortunate that Mishael now has his hands on her." "Mishael? Li
Mishael turned off his phone and turned his attention back to Queenie. David stood by the side with tears in his eyes. Just a few minutes ago, Mishael had suddenly instructed him to strung up Queenie and hit her. He had obeyed since he was hypnotized. "You know you don't have to make him watch as you hit me." Queenie who had regained her breath said. Mishael picked up his glass and walked close to her. "Then where's the fun?" Queenie sighed and lowered her head. "You do know they might not find the diary, don't you?" "Yes, I do." "That's good to know. What do you intend to do when they don't find it?" She asked and the man grinned crazily. "I intend to cut off your body parts for every hour it takes them to find it. It'll be a really unfortunate sight if they don't hand me that diary." Mishael replied, taking a slip from his cup. "I can help you find it. My mother stayed away from home almost all the time. So I made it a habit to follow her thinking she was cheating on my dad.
Knight's Mansion Natasha watched the funeral from a reasonable distance. She turned and headed back to her room when a hand reached out and dragged her into a corner. "It's me." Lucian shushed Natasha who was about to become violent making her freeze momentarily. She looked up to see her three elder brothers looking down at her with stoic looks. This was the closest she had been with them ever since they grew up. "I didn't come to cause Queenie any harm." She told them after a minute passed with none of them saying anything. However, her words were far from what Lucas needed to hear. He opened his mouth to say something. Fortunately, Lucian beat him to it. "When did you become so close to Queenie?"Natasha looked up at them silently. It was clear from the look in her eyes she wanted nothing other than to run away from them. But that only made the protective brothers curious. "I'm sorry but I'm not supposed to be discussing that with you." She told them after their gazes became
Queenie's pupils dilated as soon as she heard that name. "Now, give me the envelope." David said afterward and Queenie reluctantly gave it to him. There was no debating it. If she resisted, David would kill himself and Mishael would send someone else after her. If she still refused to hand it over, the same thing would keep repeating. David glanced at the envelope quickly before putting it into his suit pocket. Then he glanced up at her and said, "Mishael says thank you." He got up and lowered his gun. "Mishael, that bastard!" She groaned, trying her best to rein the anger within her. How Mishael had manipulated David to be so stupid was what baffled her. "Give me the gun." She told him but the boy shook his head with a confused look. "I don't want to give it to you." "Then point it at me before I get my hands on you." David had an even more confusing look on his face when he heard her. He glanced at his gun again and tried to point it at her but realized he couldn't. "Queen
"When did you find out?" Lucas asked. "Yesterday during my talk with Deborah." Queenie replied, "When did you two get your information as well?" "Oh, from Mary Leicester. She was one of the founding members of the experiment." Roxanne retorted. Lucas also nodded in agreement. "In as much as I want to continue this discussion, I have a father and a husband to mourn. After this funeral, I'll get to the bottom of all this." Queenie sighed and got up. Lucas and Roxanne also took that as their cue to leave and left as soon as Queenie made her way into her closet. "You think she's really affected by Pierce's demise?" Roxanne asked sadly as they walked in the corridor. "I don't know." Lucas said, at a loss at what to say. Queenie had always been one who hated revealing her emotions to people. He could imagine how hard it was for her. Not only had she lost the only father figure she had, she also lost her husband on the day of her father's funeral. Anyone would be racked up with pain.
