Madam Woods felt bad for her daughter, so she got on the bed and pulled Cora’s head into her bosom. “It’s ok, you’ll be fine. Everything will be fine.” The woman consoled her for a long time before something occurred to Cora and she pulled away from the embrace. “What about my sister and her children? Is my sister still alive?!” She asked in panic. Madam Woods turned away and refused to answer. Cora’s eyes widened when a bad premonition hit her. “Mother! Where is my sister?!!” “Why do you care? Cora, whatever happens to her should not be your busin–“ “Mother!!” Cora yelled. “She’s the reason I’m alive!! What is wrong with you?!” Madam Woods chuckled. “How is she the reason you’re alive? If not because of the trouble she caused, would she have wanted to run away? Would she have pulled us along?!!” She also yelled. Cora stared dumbly at her mother in shock. She couldn’t believe it. All of a sudden, she laughed like a maniac. While doing so, she pressed the button beside the bed.
“You bastard, what have you done?!!” Lucian roared like thunder. Of course, by now he already knew what the gist was. Asher had made him Lord Ash long before he even started tipping the WBCI! “Why did you think I’ve been silently watching you meet up with some guys from the WBCI? Of course, I know what you’ve been up to over the years. Lucian, who gave you the guts to think you can double-cross me? Huh?” Asher narrowed his eyes into splits. “What do you want? Tell me, what do you want?!!” “Where is my woman and son?” Lucian was stunned for a moment before his bloody lips slowly curled into a sardonic smirk. “All of this is for a mere woman? Hahahaha…!” He laughed boisterously. “I thought you wanted something bigger… Like, what is Taylor Smith’s weakness, Where Cullen is hiding, or how to get away from the Quinn family’s shadow. If I hadn’t seen this with my own eyes, I would never have believed the heartless person like Lord Ash would grovel below a mere woman. Hahahaha…”Asher al
Eve’s island is one of the prettiest but most expensive islands in the World. The island is an exclusive property that can only be visited with either a membership card or referrer. The Walkers’ family is not wealthy or influential enough to own a membership card, which means that someone else referred Cullen. Asher arrived at the Island with Milo and Roy behind him. With one hand in his pocket the cold-looking, but dashing man with the aura of an evil person marched in front and walked into the resort hotel. At the lobby, he pulled out a membership card and the lady behind the desk scanned it and handed his card back to him with a key card to his resort with a bow of her head. Asher took his keys and walked out. Inside one of the exotic houses in the area that looked like a small estate, Asher sat in front of a computer with his fingers flying over the keyboard at great speed. He was hacking the resort’s system to find the list of guests that had visited and left the place in th
Cullen held his bleeding hand and he continued screaming his guts out. The more he saw the knife that was lurched inside his palm, the louder he screamed. Aiden ignored the thundering cry from Cullen and fixed his eyes on the door, waiting for the owner of the voice to step in. The boy didn’t wait for too long before he saw a black boot followed by black trousers and finally, his father, who was wearing a black shirt. “Papa!” Aiden cried out and hurried to get off the bed. The minute that his bare foot touched the floor, Cullen forcefully pulled the knife away from his palm. He grabbed Aiden and pressed the knife to his neck. “I dare you to take a step forward!” He roared. As if Asher would stop. The man continued moving forward. Behind him was Milo who was glaring daggers at the shivering Cullen. “I– don’t come closer, I’ll… I’ll…” He applied pressure on his wrist and the knife cut into Aiden’s skin, drawing a little bit of blood. “Papa! It hurts!” Aiden cried out. Asher pau
Emma had been in police custody for days and no matter how they questioned her, she wouldn’t tell them what they wanted to hear from her. Henry was back in the country. With his connection, he pressured the Police to let his sister go. The policemen discussed amongst themselves and agreed to let her go, but before they could do that, a message came to them from the Military. The General wanted Emma to be sent to him. Henry was lost on what to do. His connection does not spread to the Military. And openly going against the Quinn family is almost the same as going against the Country. No matter what, the President would never take anyone other than the Quinn family and Williamsburg’s family’s side, so what was the use of going against them? However, how can he allow his sister to remain in custody over what she knew nothing about? That was when it occurred to him that Asher was a Williamsburg. Although he hates Asher, Henry had no choice but to go look for him. Arriving at Asher’s re
In no time, all the media personnel released statements on the matter with a huge bounty as reward. Not only did the announcement draw the masses attention, it also drew the uncommon people’s attention. For example, Quinn July. He frowned in his office when he saw the announcement. “There was an accident in Rose City which involved Anamika? How was I not informed?” his frown deepened. If that’s the case, then Anamika didn’t run away. She might be receiving treatments. But from the report, she was going to the airport with her children and sister. So, if an accident happened, it can’t happen to only Anamika. A moment of realization hit him. The picture he got of Anamika’s daughter, her head was wrapped in a bandage. Secondly, Anamika’s son and sister were also missing. In other words… His eyes sharpened and picked up his phone. But before he could call anyone, a knock sounded on his door before a subordinate entered and saluted. “General, the lady has been brought.” Quinn July nod
At the Quinn enterprise… Lisa was seen, sitting behind the desk in a sophisticated office. The office door opened and her Assistant walked in with her pad. “Ma’am, you asked that I inform you of whatever move that the Williamsburgs or Asher makes.” “Yes?” The Assistant continued. “The Williamsburgs had made an announcement for whoever has proof of an accident that happened five days ago in Rose City to come up. The reward starts from $100,000.” Lisa stretched her hand and the Pad was given to her. She read through the News before slamming the pad on the desk. “Call me Anna,” she instructed. “Yes,” The Assistant bowed and left. A moment later, the female guard that had been following her around, walked in. “Miss, you sent for me,” she said. Lisa gave her the pad. Anna read the whole thing before putting it down. “Your command, Miss.” “Asher is out to unravel the truth. I want you to intercept any witness who claims to have proof of the accident. If you can’t buy them, send t
After the announcement, Asher’s team got lots of calls from ‘eye witnesses.’ But the majority of those who called only gave superficial explanations without evidence to prove anything, so their testimonies were rejected. The core members, like the driver who escaped from the car, refused to come out. It’s not because he wasn’t interested in the money. In fact, he came out to speak, but was apprehended by Anna and her crew, who offered him a bigger amount to go into hiding until the matter had died down. But unfortunately, Lisa’s move didn’t escape Asher’s knowledge. So, instead of traveling out of the country to hide, the driver traveled into Asher’s wrath... He was killed. That night, Asher paid a special visit to Lisa at her apartment. On arrival, she was already preparing to go to bed. The lady was amazed, at the same time, restless. Yesterday morning, he called her and warned her not to touch Anamika and ever since, they haven’t spoken. And now he’s standing right in front of
