CHAPTER 81. AVENGE ME NOT

DIANA'S POV

My heart aches, even though it's emptied of your present love; my mindset is affected by the memory we shared; my body shivers without your coat around to cover me. My eyes are blurry from continuous crying after I saw you slip away from my hand. My legs were shaking, and I couldn't walk around during your burial ceremony, Lorenzo.

“I am burying you today, the same day that I was born to. How could you leave me on the same day I came to this life?” I whispered woefully to myself as I saw my brother being lowered like a seed that is about to be planted and germinate food in a few months.

All I'm left with is the document you gave at your last moment. This isn't enough to show that you will still be around to protect me.

“Why did you give your life to me? Why did you die instead of me?” You could have just let the bullet hit me.

As I stood there looking at the whole burial ceremony unveil itself, I began to lose my mind. I kept on reminiscing ab

    ERICK'S POV"Maya, I guess we have to follow them all through the night to see who kidnapped William, my brother," I whispered inwardly to myself as we approached a dark home, me and Maya, my partner."Erick, we need to act fast. It might be a trap. Please, let's get out of here," Maya warned, her voice low and urgent. But I kept on going. I never wanted my brother to be hurt because of me. He's innocent of everything I've been doing as an investigative officer.But it was too late. As we stopped and stepped inside, my eyes widened in horror. On the screen in front of us, a video played, showing my brother hospitalized and helpless. A voice, cold and menacing, spoke from the shadows."Welcome, Erick. I see you're right on time. You're just in time to witness your brother's demise," the voice sneered.I was sent a shiver down to my vein. My heart almost popped out from my chest."Erick, you better leave this place right now, or you'll witness what you don't want to witness," the voice

    JULIET'S POV "Hello Mark, we are at the main gate of Anarchy Mansion now," Eric called out, informing Mark on the phone. Mark signaled to Mr Calvin."Mr. Calvin, I have a friend at your main gate. I'd like you to give your man the order to let him in without inspection," Mark said.Mr. Calvin ordered his man to let them enter. After Erick and Maya swiftly entered the mansion's compound, they approached the main door. As we could see them through the transparent glass of the door, Mr. Calvin clapped to one of his maids, Lucian, to bring a drink for Erick and his partner, Maya.After a few seconds, Lucian brought a silver tray with a red wine placed on it and four different glass cups. She served all of us except Mr. Calvin.That was when I sparked to life, saying, "I have a plan." Everyone paused to hear what she had to say."I have a plan to gradually strip George of his rights from Novartis Company Limited," Juliet began. "We need to make sure that this evidence is tangible, and th

    JULIET'S POV "I'm scared," I said, as I kept on feeling like we were doing the wrong thing, from me going into a deeper route to find myself and my lost inheritance "Juliet, there's nothing to be afraid of," Mark replied, his voice reassuring. "After all, we're in this together. You're not doing this alone."I felt the fear of the unknown, of what I was about to go into, roaming inside me and getting the better of me. If I didn't conquer my fear, how would I be the CEO of Novartis Company Limited? How would I be the rightful heir that my father groomed me to be?I said in a low tone to Mark, who in turn just smiled and chuckled back at me, giving me an assurance that everything I'm trying to do will become a success.Mark replied, "Juliet, just believe in yourself."We kept on discussing this on our giant bed, our faces upward, gazing at the ceiling while we leaned on each other, our bodies locked up together. “Uh!" I felt the chemistry between us.After all, this had been a while,

    MARK'S POVI still wondered why Ethan had called me so suddenly. It was 12 midnight, and this was unlike him. He had kept it brief on the phone.My mind continued to reel as I drove past the dark streets of Texas, heading to the department parking lot.I didn't know why he had called me, but I needed to get there as soon as possible. I was sure he wouldn't have called me for nothing. I continued proceeding, speeding off on the street without excitement.After a few minutes, I arrived at the huge department of detective, and I saw Ethan standing upright, leaning against his car, his black SUV shining under the light of the parking lot. His smile intimidating me immediately he saw me coming. “Maybe he has good news for me, but I still wondered why I was being called there by him,” I whispered to myself as I brushed my head and then stepped down from my car, heading towards him directly."Ethan, I hope there's no problem," I asked immediately, getting to his side and shaking his hand.H

    MARK'S POV I arrived at the mansion, my eyes scanning the door, which was open wide. I rushed inside, calling out, "Juliet! Juliet!"When I entered, I saw two men, one of whom had a gun in his hand. He held the trigger and shot unexpectedly.“Bang!" And I initially thought the gunshot had come from him. Instead, the gunshot had come through the window and hit his forehead, leaving his blood splashing like rainwater on Juliet's body.The second man was shot in the neck and brain, and both of them fell lifelessly to the ground in front of Juliet, who had fainted upon hearing the gunshot.I rushed to her side, calling her name again, "Juliet! Juliet! Wake up!" She sneezed, and the sneeze brought her back to life. She was jittery and then began trembling and fidgeting. She saw the lifeless bodies on the floor and asked, "What happened, Mark? What happened? How did they...?"She cut herself, realizing she thought I was the one who had killed them. I pointed to a sniper who had helped kil

    ETHAN'S POV"And your men remain incompetent to do a simple job. Two men cannot kill just one female. That's so bad.” I angrily spoke to Fabian on the phone after his two men failed to kill Juliet. "Ethan, you should understand. This kind of job... they were cornered, attacked by a sniper." Fabian tried to explain,"You never told me there was a sniper. Who could be the sniper who had been protecting Juliet? I never knew about that, and Mark never explained that." My heart skipped a bit in surprise. Despite my surprise, I remained firm. "All the same, Fabian, your boys messed up. They're not men; they're boys. You need to get me men capable of doing the job. If Juliet is still alive, your money won't be completed."I explained in detail, ensuring Fabian understood our operation. "I know, Ethan, but we need to eliminate all obstacles. You understand?"Fabian mentioned Mark, who had been protective of Juliet, and Calvin, her uncle and also a gang leader who had turned to protect her.

I exclaimed, my anger and frustration evident.My men had lost two of their own in the attack meant for Juliet, which had been unexpectedly turned around by a sniper. My heart ached when I heard they had been taken down."It was an unexpected attack, boss," Jack, one of my men, muttered in a low tone, his head bowed down to the marble-tiled floor of my office.All my men were gathered around me, assembled in a semi-circle, while I sat on my soft leather chair, gazing at each of them. The sniper who had rescued Juliet remained a mystery, and we were still mourning the loss of our two men, whose bodies were still with the police department."I need you all to be on the lookout for whoever made that hit," I commanded, pausing to stretch my hand to Jack Wington. He lit my tobacco immediately, and I puffed out smoke."This is beyond just killing Juliet. This is spreading like a virus now. We need to fin

    JULIET'S POV "This is a great plan, Juliet," Uncle Calvin said, sitting down in his office. "I love it." As I outlined my plan to take down George, the dim lighting in the room seemed to intensify the gravity of our conversation. Uncle Calvin's voice was slow and calculated, his words dripping with malice."We need to hit him where it hurts," I said, a sly smile spreading across my face. "His business is his lifeblood, and if we can disrupt that, he'll be powerless."Uncle Calvin nodded, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "And with you, Juliet, what's the plan?" He leaned forward, his hands clasped together in anticipation.I leaned forward, my voice taking on a conspiratorial tone. "I've arranged for us to meet with some associates. They'll help us block Judge's transactions and disrupt his supply chain." I smiled, a sly smile spreading across my face.

When George shot Maria in the second leg again, “Ehhhh!" she groaned in pain, her eyes laced with tears streaming down her face, blood gushing out from her two legs.George sneered, "You'd better do that before you lose your friend."

It's not going to be easy, but we're on it."I smiled, thinking, "I know it's not easy. In fact, I'm beginning to hate George more each day, but I'll remain calm until this is finished.After a few seconds, Khalid came up with the information. "Yeah, I found it. Both Walter and Caleb are part of George's associates. Recently, they visited George in London."I realized, "You're right, Khalid. I was in the mansion when they came to visit George. I overheard them discussing the multi-million-worth of diamonds that belong to my father."Khalid added, "They're into diamond mining, coal mining, prostitution, and illegal drugs, just like George. The only difference is that they keep a low profile and avoid anything related to law enforcement."Mark chimed in, "

I had promised them multi-million-worth of diamonds, but Jones had refused to tell me where the diamonds were being held, even before he escaped."Fuck it!" I muttered to myself, smashing my hand on my face. "Just give me some time, guys. Give me some time, and I'll still get the diamond for you.""It's high time you gave us the diamond. It's high time you returned our money to us. This isn't a joke anymore.

They played their roles, joking and chasing each other, making it look real.After a few seconds, some men pulled up beside them.

Her features were altered, and her appearance was changed, making it impossible to recognize her as Juliet.Her hair was now a darker shade, and her eyes were a different color. She looked confident and determined, ready to take on a new role."Wow, Khalid, you're a genius!" I exclaimed, amazed at the transformation. "She looks completely different now. You're the best!"Khalid smiled proudly. "I've been working on this technique for months. It's going to be a game-changer for our future operations."I gave Juliet a new identity, "Elena," and with that, she was reborn.

"If we're finding it difficult to nail Mr. George, then I think the only solution is to use his own tactics against him."Her explanation was laced with confusion, and I remained silent, trying to understand what she meant."Juliet, what do you mean?" I asked, trying to clarify."What I'm trying to say is that we need to use his own weapon against him." Why don't we turn his own game back on him?" Juliet asked, her eyes sparkling with determination.I was still confused, and Juliet could see it. She smiled, stood up, and walked towards the mini-bar. She poured herself a glass of red wine and handed me another."What I mean, Mark, is that what if I become one of his subjects?

We cautiously made our way inside, our guns at the ready."Stay alert," I whispered to my team, my eyes scanning the dimly lit interior.
