“Enjoy, Mr. Bowman. We’ll wait for you outside.” The others snickered and headed out. “Let go of me, you animal!” With Aaron’s firm grip on Darcy’s wrist, she could not break free from him. She bit Aaron on the hand in a panic. “Argh!” Aaron screamed in pain and slapped Darcy in the face. Smack! Darcy tumbled back, her hair unkempt hanging loose from the blow. She bumped heavily onto the edge of the desk and hurt her waist. “Bitch! I own you!” Aaron approached her angrily. Filled with despair, Darcy grabbed the stationery on the desk and threw it in his face. While Aaron was busy dodging, Darcy sprinted to the window and cocked her head back to yell, “Don’t push me, Aaron, or I’ll jump off the window. You will go to jail for this.” “Go to jail. Why are you so naïve?” Aaron was calm. “I didn’t push you out of the window. Who can prove that I made you jump to your death? Besides, my dad is the mayor. No one will risk their lives to testify.” “You’re an animal
“You can’t do this, Kaze. You’ll go to jail!” Aaron screamed and cried. “Go to jail? Why are you so naïve?” Kaze said emotionlessly, “Don’t you know I have psychotic episodes? I’m having one now.” He looked down at the street from the window. It was hot outside, so no one was out and about on the street. “We’re on the third floor, not high in the building. It’s down to your luck whether you survive this fall, but I hope you will.” Scared stiff, Aaron wailed and shouted. He could barely string together a full sentence. The female secretary shrieked from the ground, “No! You can’t do this! His father is the ma—” Kaze released his grip without giving her the chance to finish. Thud! It sounded like something heavy hit the ground. “Psycho! You’re a psycho!” The secretary and the others screamed before getting to their feet to run downstairs. It was a mess on the ground floor. Soon, sirens were heard. The paramedics and police had arrived. Kaze watched the scene u
“I think it will be incredibly satisfying to see Kaze locked up helplessly behind bars as his wife loses the companies, and his family tears apart. It’s not like he can do anything to stop it.” Gregory laughed out loud. His bloodshot eyes looked manic. Gregory’s son was confined to the bed, and he hated Kaze for it. “Haha! I can’t wait!” Like Gregory, Hudson was eager to witness Kaze’s downfall. Meanwhile, the police had Kaze in custody for throwing Aaron out of the third floor’s window.The word traveled to Lilyrose’s upper crust. The sighting of the ambulance and police cars made it unlikely to cover up the truth. “Kaze is a loser. He knew Blake would have his head for hurting Aaron. Still, he did it anyway. He could be self-sabotaging.” “It is a pity that Aaron survived. He was taken to the ER. Blake will surely take out his anger on Kaze and his family. Some gloated, while others expressed sympathy. However, no one believed Kaze would be able to walk away a
“Kaze, I will show you and your wife’s family what it feels like to lose hope,” Blake pointed at Kaze and said menacingly right outside the mayor’s office. Kaze replied chillingly, “I could say the same to you too.” Blake’s words had gotten to him. Aaron was heartless to nearly leave Darcy with no choice but to take her own life. Still, Blake believed that Darcy deserved to die. Apparently, Kaze was not supposed to retaliate or throw Aaron out of the third-floor window. He could not make sense of the logic. “Hahaha! I own your ass now, Kaze, so you have the nerve to challenge me.” Blake guffawed and scoffed at Kaze’s statement. “I am the mayor. I have the support of the two most prominent families. What do you have? Soon, you will learn that I have the power to destroy you and your family.” The nerve of Kaze to talk back when he was in handcuffs. Resentful, Blake made up his mind to give Darcy’s family hell. He shouted, “Come here, Kevin.”“You summoned me, M
Without a word, Kaze looked at Blake like he was a dead man. Blake was infuriated by the brush-off from Kaze. He wanted to say something about it. That was when Trafford, the administration minister at the governor’s office, entered the room with several stern-looking individuals. “Why waste your breath on a prisoner, Blake? Just begin the interrogation. I need to get back to Sunrise after this.”Trafford glanced at Kaze indifferently, his voice reflecting contempt. Kaze was insignificant in his books. “Alright. Let’s just interrogate him.” Blake waved at his men. “Take him into the room.” The men restrained Kaze. Since Kaze had no idea what they wanted to grill him about, he planned to see what they were up to. Kaze let them force him into a makeshift interrogation room. There was an existing interview room next to the makeshift one, and two police officers stood guard at the door. When Kaze was brought in, a staff member in a suit walked out of the room. The st
The interrogation room was filled with Kaze’s laughter. His chuckles were annoying. His offhand remark stung more, though. Blake, Trafford, and Felix grimaced. “What are you laughing about?” Felix was furious because he could sense Kaze’s disdain. “I find you amusing,” Kaze replied indifferently. To think someone would try to extract a confession out of him through trickery. The individual attempted to break him and make him confess something that never happened. Besides, counter-reconnaissance and counter-interrogation were part of the core military program. The God of War Palace acquired talents to perfect these skills. Before joining the army, Kaze had used these techniques to his advantage countless times. When he was banished to Lilyrose and faced death threats, he had to play it smart by playing dumb. The best experts in interrogation and psychology were invited to confirm if he was just acting crazy. All were unsuccessful in proving he was faking it.
The room was hot and stuffy as if the heater was turned on. Johnson lay weakly on the ground, soaked all over. Yet, his lips were dry and cracked, a sign of severe dehydration. “I didn’t betray you, Mr. Lee,” Johnson said strugglingly. He could barely open his eyes but managed a sad smile for Kaze. “You’re playing with fire, Blake, Trafford!” Kaze shouted angrily. At this rate, Johnson would die of dehydration. Hiss! A staff member carried a bucket of water into the room and ladled some water onto the nearby coals. White steam filled the room. The room became a hot furnace. “Enjoy your sauna, Kaze. Take Johnson out. Don’t let him die,” Blake said with a sinister smile. He could not stop wiping his sweat the moment he stepped into the room. Sauna was beneficial to health when used in moderation. In moments of excess, it could be deadly. It was a form of torture to extract information. “Okay. I’ll enjoy the sauna before the person I’m expecting arrives. I coul
“The governor has a lot on his plate. Why would he pay extra attention to something so small?” Blake was confused. Trafford replied, “That’s not the only thing. The governor specifically asked about Kaze and sent his secretary-general to get a detailed report on Kaze’s case.” “Huh? Did Kaze get through to the governor to plead his case?” Blake was apprehensive. He had something to hide, to begin with. The case had not made any progress so far, and the governor’s involvement might push things in the wrong direction. “Kaze has some connections to get the governor’s attention, but the governor isn’t on his side.” Trafford chuckled. “How so?” Blake asked. “Do you know what Kaze did?” Trafford laughed out loud. “The idiot bribed the governor openly by giving him real estate, cars, and companies. The governor is livid, to say the least. Haha. Isn’t that funny?” His close associate in the governor’s office told him so. “Woah. I can’t believe the idiot did that. Hahaha
