In the other room, Franco stared at the guys in horror, his eyes wide with fear. He was being tortured by Jack, who was no less skilled than John. Jack's expertise in torture was top-notch, which was why he was made the head of the bodyguards. Franco's body was already battered and bruised, he was already screaming in agony."Please spare me, I was just taking orders from the big boss," Franco begged, his voice barely above a whisper. He could hardly speak, but he had to try and stop the pain. His eyes pleaded with them to show mercy, but they just stared back at him with cold, hard faces."I need names," Anthony said coldly, his eyes cold. "Who was behind the plot to take down the Ken family?" He asked him.Franco gulped his saliva in fear, afraid to mention the big boss's name. But he had no choice. He was still contemplating when he felt a hot object on his body, making him scream like a pig being slaughtered. The smell of burning flesh filled the air."Any further delay means do
"How is Franco?" Kent suddenly asked,"He's still in the room," Anthony responded, "but I don't know for how long. He's pretty beaten up.""Very good, we will be needing him," Kent smirked and said, his eyes gleaming with a plan."What do you intend to do with him?" Eric asked curiously ."What is the best way to catch someone?" Kent smirked and asked Eric, who chuckled and said, "using the person close to him.""Woah, nice one, man," Fred said, impressed."But Franco is not close enough with Victor," Anthony said after much thought, his brow furrowed in concern."He doesn't need to be close to get to him," Kent chuckled, a sly grin spreading across his face. "We can use this to our advantage."Kent's eyes locked onto Jack, and he said, "Do something for me, Jack. I want you to ask Franco if he had called Victor's assistant to tell him about the accident.""Ok, sir”. Jack said and bowed before leaving the office to carry out the task.Shortly after, Jack returned, and said. "No, sir,
"What do you mean he did something unforgettable, Dad?" Kevin asked, curiosity etched on his face.Luke sighed, his eyes red from rage, and took a deep breath before responding, "He killed my mother."The guys' eyes widened in shock. "What?" they exclaimed in unison, their voices laced with disbelief.Kent's face scrunched up in confusion. "I thought Grandma died in an accident?" He remembered the day vividly, he was only ten years old when he heard the news of his grandmother's passing. The story was that she had died on the spot due to an accident."I thought Grandma had an accident," Kent repeated, his frown deepening as he stared at his father. "Why are you telling us this now?"Luke's expression turned grim. "Because you deserve to know the truth. Victor's actions have haunted me for years, and it's time you knew why I have never mentioned him to any of you".Kent was still trying to process his father’s words, when reality hit him hard. He immediately gasped and asked,"Was it a
As the guys left the ancestral mansion,they headed to the garage where their car was parked, just then Kent's phone rang. He stopped in his tracks and brought out his phone from his pocket before answering when he saw that it was his wife. "Hello, babe”. He said as soon as he picked it up.August's voice immediately came through, she asked in a whining tone . "Where are you, babe? You've been out for a long time now."Kent chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Is Mrs. Ken missing her dear husband?""Of course, babe," August replied softly.Kent knew her too well; he could almost see her pouting lips, so he said, "Don't worry, babe, I will be there soon."August quickly said, "While you are at it, can you buy food for me?"Kent's tone turned concerned and angry. "You haven't eaten since then?"August cleared her throat, and glanced at the tasteless food on the table. Jenny had brought her food, but it was bland and unappetizing. "I have eaten, but I'm still hungry," she lied.
After finishing their meal, Kent stood up to clear the dishes, his movements were smooth and tidy. Once he was done, he headed to the bathroom to wash his hands before returning to the ward."Do you want to sleep?" he asked her with a gentle voice, but August pouted her lips and put on a sad expression. "No, I've been sleeping too much since I got here. I don't like this hospital; I just want to go home." Her voice was laced with a whine, she was trying to hide her frustration, but it was not working.Kent walked closer, his eyes filled with understanding. "Come on, babe, you need to be monitored, okay? Just endure it for a little while longer." He said as he tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.August sighed, and sagged her shoulders. "I know, babe, but I just don't like it here." She took a deep breath and said to Kent.Kent's expression softened. "Just endure it for a while, babe. You'll be home soon." August nodded her head and smiled a little."Why don't you rest?" Kent
Victor exhaled a long puff of smoke from his cigarette and asked his assistant, "Any news yet?"The assistant shook his head. "No, sir. We haven't been able to reach Franco to confirm the outcome. We have tried various channels to check if it is a success, but it seems like our efforts are being blocked."Victor's face darkened, his expression disapproving. "Incompetent," he muttered, his voice so cold and he looked really angry.The assistant quickly bowed his head and apologized . "Sorry, sir."Just then, Victor's phone rang, breaking the silent atmosphere . He brought out his phone from his pocket and glanced at the screen and saw an unknown number. Without hesitation, he disconnected the call. But the caller persisted, ringing again and again. On the fourth call, he was about to disconnect it again, when he heard his boss' chilling voice. "Pick it up." Victor said coldly as he stared at his assistant.The assistant nodded his head and answered the call, putting it on speakerphon
Anthony pulled up to the restaurant he had booked earlier, and as they arrived, Lisa's eyes widened in surprise at the cozy atmosphere.She gazed up at the sign, which read "Oakwood Restaurant" in rustic letters, and couldn't help but notice the charming wooden accents and lush greenery surrounding the entrance."Wow, this place is so nice," Lisa exclaimed as they stepped inside, her voice filled with admiration. Anthony smiled happily, he was pleased with himself for making an excellent choice."I knew you would like it," he said with a wink."I wanted something simple”. He continued and said to Lisa who nodded her head in understanding.The waiter greeted them and led them to their private suite, which Anthony had booked.As they entered, Lisa's eyes sparkled in delight. The private room was breathtaking, with a window wall and outside it was a river, creating a cool and comfortable atmosphere."I really love it here," Lisa said, beaming at Anthony, her face filled with joy. "I'm
The next day, Lisa woke up with a smile on her face, she felt Anthony’s hand on her body so she smiled and released herself gently from his embrace.After successfully doing that, she tiptoed and went to the kitchen to brush her teeth and take her bath which she successfully did before going to the kitchen to prepare some light meal for them.Shortly after she left, Anthony woke up from his wonderful sleep. He stretched his hand and was confused for a moment when he saw the unfamiliar house, but he quickly remembered that he was in Lisa’s bedroom.Thinking about Lisa, he stood up and searched for her around the room but he couldn’t find her, he was about to call her when she entered the bedroom.“You are awake”. She said as she walked to him.“Yes babe, good morning “. Anthony said as he hugged her and pecked her forehead.Lisa smiled and said, “good morning too”. After that she continued and said, “I just prepared a light breakfast for us, but before that you need to brush”. Seeing
