Lorenzo was still in a daze as he left the briefcase at Chris’s home base and was taken home by Night Rider.“First brother, do you want to stay here or at Master’s place?” Chris asked as he settled the older man on a comfortable couch.“Where are you staying?”“I have unfinished business.”“I will come with you.”“No. You need to rest.”“Are you saying I am old?” The older man jumped up from his chair in anger.Chris circled his index finger, gesturing the older man to turn around and made an inviting gesture. The older man turned around and looked to find himself looking into the mirror on one of the cabinet doors “You……”Chris chuckled mischievously “Somethings never change….” His eyes became distant as he muttered “The only thing missing is master’s booming laughter that usually followed….”“Don’t bring up the old man…. He didn’t even say goodbye…”“Did you leave an address when you ran away?” Chris hooked his eyebrows.“Why didn’t he come looking?” The older man sighed as he sat b
Lorenzo didn’t stop to relax as he reached home. He rushed to Mark’s place as he messaged the rest to meet him there. Everyone rushed over as soon as they got the message even though some were midway through their dinner. They all knew what Lorenzo was up to these days; they also knew that he wouldn’t be back before the end of next week. There could only be one reason for him to rush back- Trouble!No one thought of the other possibility that Lorenzo was way over his depths in excitement…“What’s going on?” Mark asked as soon as Vincent walked in.Everyone was already seated and waiting for him.“You are not going to believe what I have to say.” Vincent gulped down the scotch poured for him in one gulp.“Yes…. you have never tasted failure…. It is hard to believe…” Eric smirked before asking “Do you want a hand?”“What are you talking about?” Lorenzo turned to look at Eric with a confused gaze.“Why did you call us?” Mark decided to intervene before the two started bickering; this was
Chris’s team set off to Korea as planned without stopping to catch his breath once he had settled Hendrick. It was more like after he had received a message from Spector that Hendrick had arrived. He pretended to ignore the sidenote that said he was moping around the place, driving everyone else crazy. Chris was in and out of Korea with his team even before anyone could register his presence. Contrary to his normal practice, this time he didn’t greet the authorities like he normally did. Not because he didn’t have the same respect for the authorities in this country but because his master told him that there are some who can only see black and white, never understand the grey and to them, grey is more daunting and complicated than anything they ever faced. He didn’t want to confuse them; it was his respect towards their understanding of right and wrong that made him go under the radar.The dust from the explosion served as a perfect cover for Lorenzo’s operation as all eyes were on th
Adam had comfortably settled into his new environment which was totally different from what he had ever experienced. He decided to stay as one of the new disciples rather than being a guest as he found this new world rather intriguing, their lifestyle and attitude towards life was novel and humbling for him.More importantly, given the vast difference from his own lifestyle and the challenges of integrating with the new lifestyle kept him from having time to mope around about his regrets and loss. He didn’t have enough time to breathe let alone think about Elizabeth although if he was honest with himself, he had to confess that under the blanket of the night when everyone relaxed, he still couldn’t stop himself from worrying about her. The only good thing was the activities from the day didn’t leave him awake for long before he would fall asleep.One of Adam’s reservations in choosing to stay as a disciple was his age; he wondered if he would be able to integrate with the younger gener
Elizabeth on the other hand had a rude wake up call. The day after Adam told her about his intent to divorce her, she went to her so-called friends for advice and help on how to stop the divorce. None of her so-called friends who were full of wisdom and advice on how a rich lady should behave, had any advice for her. They seem to want to avoid her like a plaque once they knew that she would no longer be Mrs Walter.There were also a few ridiculous ones, spinsters and divorcees who asked her about Adam’s preference and hobbies so that they could wriggle their way into his life. She regretted having made friends with such a bunch but there was nothing she could do about the past. She decided to make amends for her ridiculous behaviour and move on considering that Adam had moved on.She wanted to give him her blessing although her heart ached like hell. She had been reflecting on her past ridiculous actions and knew the hell she had put him through, stuck between her and their children.S
Emile shamelessly stuck to Chris for the whole day like a sticky candy; she had missed him terribly as it they had never been separated since the kids were born. She didn’t care how her sisters-in laws teased her; it didn’t make any difference on her shameless behaviour. Although the others teased Emile, they followed her lead and stuck to their husband much to the dismay of the men as they had things to discuss.“Why don’t you go and relax for an hour or so before you leave?” Henry coaxed his little Pearl as he knew the others would follow if she left.“What do you want to discuss without me?” Emile pouted as she crossed her arms resentfully “I am sitting right here with my husband.”“Let’s talk…” Chris nodded helplessly; he didn’t want the waterworks to follow.“Do you want us to leave?” Mark asked, realizing that the Burke brothers had something they needed to discuss with Chris.“Not really….” Chris shrugged “I would eventually update you….” Chris paused with a mischievous smirk “j
“I just wanted to know how strong or weak his loyalty would be…” Chris shrugged as he explained, “Not a must, I can always find other avenues. He is not a must in the plan… just a nice to have…. But I don’t like to have unpredictable variables.”“Elijah Asher is a trustworthy snake, but a snake he is…” Henry opened his mouth “I have dealt with him a few times, he will keep his word as long as you don’t double cross him or his interests.”“What about better prospects?” Chris quirked an eyebrow “Would that sway him?”Henry shook his head “Not in my experience, he is old school, handshake and honour of word kind of guy.”“Aren’t those types extinct?” Eric chuckled while Addison joined “That’s why we call him a dinosaur.”“Can you arrange a meeting for me with him?” Chris asked as he planned his next move.“When?”“How soon can we meet?”“Let me make a call?” Henry stepped out of the room.“Chris, what is the surprise that Harry was asking about?” Mark asked once the discussion died down w
“Burkes will promise to be your backer.” Henry too promised before Elijah got over his shock by the double windfall.“You promise that if I help him, you will be my backer…. Ha….ha…. there really is a storm of pies falling from the skies today.” Elijah laughed as he joked “I must head to the nearest lottery selling outlet after our meeting and get a few tickets.”“Why a few?” Eric smirked “Isn’t one enough if your luck is shining brightly?”“Yes, but considering mine is storming, I am thinking of taking a few different ones.” Elijah reciprocated Eric’s gesture and hi-5-ed him.“Ha….ha…ha…” everyone laughed while Harry smirked “I didn’t know that you had such good humour sense.”“That’s the only way to keep my sanity.” Elijah laughed as he waved his hand suggestively between Chris, Mark and Henry.“I can understand why master Walter wants to be involved but I don’t know why you want to jump on the band wagon.” Elijah asked in a not-so-confident voice as he turned towards Henry.“He’s go
