Mark POV "I want to hear your answer," he said and I couldn't help closing my eyes "Yes sir..." I said and he nodded. "I wanted to help you that's why I asked you to call him in for questioning after his five days of return. But as it stands now he would rather die than say the truth" he paused and I made use of the opportunity to speak up "B... But you can make him speak sir" I said, unable to meet his gaze. "In this situation, it's better that he said the truth with his own mind than being compelled to. And what will it even do if he speaks up? We both know what his issue is and we both know it's that little girl Emma that is tormenting the sweet shit out of him" he said chuckling, the sound was so good to the ear..."I know how much you love him. For Christ's sake, everyone loves their sons dearly and will still love them no matter what they do. But don't you think even if he is sent back to protect Jace he would be more of a danger than a protector to my son? Do you not put that
Mark POV "It was also another reason why I called your son, but it's clear he knows nothing nor where he slips," he said. "Or he might have never slipped but Jace just figured something out" I added. "There is also a possibility of that. I will first try to make him return Ander Darlington no matter what, but if he refuses I will try my best to make him return home, then there will be no way I won't figure out what he's hidden. It hurt my heart that I trying to manipulate my son but it was already too late. I have to give it a try and make sure he knows nothing" he said and turned to face me. "Get up and go tell the elders Jace has a mission for Mason which will serve as his punishment. And that mission warrants Mason to leave the family house anytime and any moment" he said and I gulped. Even I can't help but want to tell him that he is making use of Jace's name to abuse his power as Jace father. Authority he shouldn't have access to anymore the moment he stepped down but how can I
Ander POV Aside from not dragging Axel into the case because of his relationship with Jace, another reason why I don't want to drag him in is because dragging him in is dragging Killer Jim in which I don't want. I'm currently inside Jace's black car and a feel meter away from Brian's house. I have been keeping tags on his everyday activities, aside from working out and going to the coriz company every day, he also stays awake all night with his system on throughout. I have tried to figure out what he is doing to be able to avoid all the wealth and properties I found under his name, although it's not much, but its not small either as he is richer than the Mila he's working for by some margin.I also didn't see any transfer from any of Mark's banks to him ever since he was twelve years old, meaning that from then he has been working and feeding himself, but from where? I also saw how he looks and there is no difference from Mason, the same pretty face, gorgeous body, and well-sculpture
Ander POV "But I still underestimated you" he added leaving his counter while heading towards me. "I'm sure you were still inside your car when I opened the door and I'm sure I didn't see you come out, so how were you able to move past the woman and enter my house without any sound? Even after you entered she still wasn't aware" he asked but I just smiled. He sat close to me and stared at me. "When my dad told me the killers are completely different from the protectors, I thought he was just exaggerating, and even though you guys are to be stronger than us it will be just a little. But what happened this night under two breaths shows it all, he wasn't exaggerating at all, for a while, I even thought you were not human" he said."Thanks for the compliment," I said. "You are a killer, right?" he asked and I looked at him as if he was stupid "You have already confirmed that so why still ask?" I questioned. "I just want to confirm," he said and I scoffed "You can wait for your next life
Ander POV "For now I don't have any assignment for you, just obediently go back to your daily routine as if nothing happened. And never tell what happened today to your father, brother, or anyone else, understand?" I ordered, he shivered and nodded "Yes sir..." he responded. "Good," I said standing up to leave. "And one more thing. Don't touch that Mila anymore, he is someone else already so she is off-limits" I said and he nodded at once. "Till next time, just expect me anytime" I commanded and wanted to leave but something clicked "What do you do to have all these?" I asked. "Fraud sir" he answered without even hesitating as if he knew and was sure that I won't sabotage him, and truly I won't. I gulped and hastily left the mansion as the energy there was too high that I might lose myself and do what I would regret later.I breathed in when I reached my car, Jace's car. As I entered I remembered I had left my cloth inside there but the least I want to do now is return in there so I
Jace POVI watched the gorgeous male opposite me explain everything he had been up to for the past three days now, or almost. I looked at a small table in the living room and saw some books placed there, he had already explained what they were and what they contained. I'm still baffled as I digest everything he just told me. I never would have thought my dad would have done so much and even have no intention of telling any of them to me. Ander told me some main points of some rules when he was telling me about himself but what he told me this time was once more another rule I know nothing of. I now realized why my dad never bothered to disturb me to read all about the family rules before leaving town, something a head is supposed to know. He never even bothered. It's good that I know how everyone views me at him. And if it wasn't for that I wonder if he would have secretly taken control of the family once more leaving me as a figurehead. I wonder what he craves that makes him so relu
Jace POV As the phone stayed on my ear, I didn't know what to reply to the man. Ander had already snorted opposite me and I know if the man wasn't my father and the previous generation head family, he would have been rushing back to the main house and bursting open his brain while telling the family that 'the previous head is a threat to the family as he is working with the enemy because of his own selfish benefit' and then walk away batting no eye.I know why he is saying this because Ander being with me is a danger to them as every minute he stays with me is a possibility of finding out their secrets. His reaction now suddenly makes me think that the ones we know are not all they have done. "Dad you don't need to worry, I always know who Ander Darlington is and what his job is to the family" I replied. "I don't think you understand son, Mister Darlington's absence in the family is a leak to our security and anything can happen at any time. He is the strongest of them all and he is
Kane POV I'm currently in one of my father's five-star hotels having my lunch with Mara and Mila. The atmosphere is good, calm, and free but only me and Mila know what we are truly feeling. A week just passed since we had our intense sex and I presented two options to her but till now she hasn't given me an answer. This meal was organized by me as I figured she had been avoiding me entirely. I told Mara to invite her friend to lunch today and just tell her that it's only for the both of them that I won't be there if she asks. And how can Emma say no to her best friend? But here she is with me and Mara dining to our heart's content.I can't help but feel amused as anything I call Mara's name she will immediately look up thinking that I want to expose our little secret. The effect I have on her is making me excited yet turned on. I will once in a while stare at her as if asking her to say yes or no right there so I will know my step forward on how to recount everything to Mara, and I'm
