Shawn and Queen finally drove into the Black Dragons' Mansion. The moment they got out of the car, all the underlings who were guarding the house recognized her.Two walked up to her and said, "Queen Scorpion.""Hi, it's nice to meet you all," she replied. "Sorry, I didn't inform anyone before coming; it was an emergency. I need to meet Ashton Dragon, where is he?""He is not around, but I can call him," one of the underlings replied."Please do," Queen requested.A call was quickly put out to Ashton, and he asked that Queen wait for him for thirty minutes since he was busy.Queen looked around the compound and asked Shawn, "Do you think it's a good idea for us to wait?""Yeah, it is, it's okay. I can take all of them if they try to act funny," Shawn replied.Queen nodded, "Alright, we're both going to wait in our car."They waited in the car for Ashton until he finally arrived. When he came in, Queen was impressed to see that he looked better in person. The moment she introduced him a
Shawn drove Queen to one of his houses in the city. When they came out of the car, Queen looked around. The house did not look so impressive from the outside, as it was a small house, unlike the mansions he had taken her to in the past."This is one of my houses," he said to her. "Since we are not leaving anytime soon, we can as well spend the night resting here."Queen nodded, "Okay, but why here? I mean, you have so many beautiful houses in the city. You even have a house that has an armory and is well-protected. This place looks...""Trust me, we are going to be fine," Shawn said. "I have my reasons for bringing us here.""Okay, I trust you," Queen replied.They both walked into the house and once they were inside, Queen moved in front of Shawn, facing him, and slowly knelt down.The moment her hands reached out to unbuckle his belt, Shawn smiled, "Someone is feeling very naughty tonight."Queen chuckled, "You bet I am."Two hours later, after having her bath, Queen looked at her p
Shawn cried out as gunshots were fired into the house. It was at this point that both he and Queen realized the house had been surrounded. As they lay on the ground, bullets continued flying into the room, breaking the glass and destroying many other things.After a while, the shooting stopped, and Shawn turned to stare at Queen, whose face was now as white as a sheet."They are trying to break in. Come with me," He whispered.Queen picked up her phone, which had fallen to the ground, and put it in her pocket. She began to crawl behind Shawn as they made their way towards the corridor of the house. Once they were in the corridor, Shawn pushed open a door, and they went in. Just as they entered the room, the door leading into the house exploded, and they heard the footsteps of different men running into the house. Shawn locked the door from inside the room. He rushed to the center of the room, pulled out the blue rug in the center, and opened it. Queen stared at him, wondering what
Queen sat on the floor, staring at Shawn as tears fell from her eyes uncontrollably. She thought about what she was going to do. The only way she was supposed to get the antidote was to meet Stok, but Stok was going to kill her, and she knew he had an army waiting for her.She didn't have the time to mobilize men, but how could she let Shawn die? He was in this mess because of her. If it weren't for trying to save her, he would not have been shot.Shawn was already prepared from the very start. Before carrying out his revenge, he had built houses, bought firearms, and done everything he needed to protect himself if the need arose. But then she came into his life, and things began to go south."No, Shawn. How would I live with myself if anything happened to you? I cannot do that. I will save you, or die trying, but I will not just sit and watch you die."After making up her mind, Queen looked at the time and saw that Shawn still had one hour and thirty minutes. She lifted him from the
Minutes earlier, Anthony Baltimore's car stopped right in front of Shawn's gate. When he came out of the car, he looked at the Black Scorpions whom he had newly hired for Andre. He saw them all lying on the floor, dead. He checked them one by one and realized that there was nothing he could do for any of them. He clenched his fists in anger. Afterward, he opened the gate, got back into his car, and drove into the compound.Once he was inside, he took out his phone and called Queen's number. The moment the phone rang, Queen answered the call and said,"Hello....I'm very busy now, Anthony. Can I speak with you later?""Hold on, why are you whispering? Where are you?" he asked."I'm at the White Sparrows' mansion; Stok's den.""What? Did he...did he kidnap you? I mean, I spoke to your dad, and he...""No, no, he didn't kidnap me," Queen replied. "Listen, Shawn was shot with a poisoned gun. He needs the antidote, and...""I have the antidote," Anthony replied."You have the antidote, bu
After coming down from the high building, Anthony got into his car and began driving to the Stok mansion, which he had turned into rubble.Once he got closer to the gate, he saw some underlings surrounding someone. He recognized that it was Queen because of the clothes she wore.Without wasting time, his car came to a halt and he took out his gun and shot one of the men. After the man fell, the others turned in his direction and tried to take cover when they saw him, but he killed all of them.Afterward, he came down from his car and began running to her, screaming, "No! Queen! No."He thought that she had been killed. When he got to where she was, however, he couldn't find any injuries on her body.Nevertheless, he lifted her from the ground and began running to his car, placing her in the passenger's seat. He got into the driver's seat and drove out of the location before more underlings would arrive.Halfway through his journey, he stopped and looked at her, "What happened? Queen,
Shawn sat on the bed, waiting for Queen, who spent time in the kitchen cooking.Almost two hours later, she came out with a tray of food and placed it in front of him."Oh, we're having rice and fried eggs?" he asked."Yes," she replied.Shawn smiled, "Queen, did you roast the eggs?"She rolled her eyes, "What do you mean 'roast the eggs'? Where have you seen eggs being roasted? I fried it.""Then why does it look so black?""Well, I just turned my eyes away for a second, just for a second, and it got burnt, but the taste is still nice, okay. Don't look at how dark it is; trust me, you'll enjoy it.""I'm sure I will," Shawn said, smiling. "Alright then, let's eat."Eating the food Queen had made was like torture for Shawn, but because he did not want to insult her intentions or the fact that she had worked so hard, he bore through it all.In the end, he told her, "It was quite delicious, Queen. But, next time, just try not to turn your eyes away for a second, okay.""You don't have to
Queen went directly to her class without realizing what was going on as she was in a hurry.At this time, Mr. and Mrs. Logan who were waiting at the location Cobra had given to them were handed their baby by one of his men and ordered to go home.As her husband drove back home, Mrs. Logan thought about Queen whom she knew was at school because she had been listed there by her. She felt extremely guilty and decided to warn her with a text message that read, "A group of deadly terrorists forced me to lure you to school. They are going to hurt you, Queen. Run as far away as you can.""You shouldn't have done that," her husband told her after she sent the message. What if they find out and come after us again?""We're leaving the city, for now," she replied. "I didn't have a choice when I betrayed Queen's trust but at the very least, I've given her a message. They warned us not to call the cops or anyone else and I obeyed. This will ease my conscience a little."The newly recruited Black
RIAThree months later, Anthony and I held hands as we walked on a field. We had gone there to have a picnic because we wanted to try something different.For weeks, Anthony had taken me to all the fancy restaurants in different parts of the world, but today I craved something simple. A meal with just the both of us while enjoying a serene environment. As we walked toward where our seats had been prepared, I stared at the lilies decorating the field and smiled. "This place is beautiful. Anthony, how did you discover it?"He circled his arms around my waist and pulled me closer, "That's a secret I am not going to expose." I chuckled, I had thought he wanted to say something else. We stared at each other for a while before I briefly kissed him, "You know, in spite of how much time has passed, Anthony, this still feels like a dream.""Why?" He asked me. I shrugged, "I found love, Anthony. I never thought I could, but I found love in not just anyone but you; Anthony Baltimore, the bigg
ANTHONYI stared at Ria, who was on her knees, and my heart ached. I didn't want to do this to her, but I needed to be sure. Yes, I could feel her love for me, and I could see how desperately she did what she thought was best to save my life.I was deliberately putting up a front, but my heart was racing. I wanted her to tell me how much she loved me. I wanted her to tell me that she wanted to be with me.This was the first time in my life that I had felt this way about any woman. Yes, if it was anyone else, I would have killed them for daring to come into my house and poison me.But this was Ria, the girl I was madly in love with. I had to act a little bit but the more she confessed her feelings for me, the more my resolve broke. In the end, I could not bear to see her in pain anymore, and I had to let her down from where I hung her. I also dropped the gun I was holding. Ria said she wanted to be by my side. She wanted to be mine, what else could I ask for? I had everything else at
RIAMy heart was thumping loudly as Anthony pointed his gun at me. He asked me how I thought everything was going to play out and I pondered over his question for a minute. I had also never tried to look at the end, I was mainly focused on saving Anthony but if only he could get past his feelings of anger and need for revenge. If only he could see me like he used to, then everything would be fine.... something suddenly occurred to me and I raised my eyes. "Hold on," I said to him. "You just explained now that everything was planned by you. I mean, while I thought my plans were being carried out, you were the game planner. What about all those things you said to me? The way you made me feel, the promises you made.Saying you love me, saying you were going to spend the rest of your life with me. Was that all a plan? Was it just to watch me make you fool of myself? Will you achieve your aim in the end? I mean, yes I knew I was no saint but regarding my feelings I never...""Yes and no,
RIAI continued to stare at Anthony in surprise while my arms and legs hurt. I didn't know how long I had been tied up for but I was sure it had been more than two hours. I didn't understand what was going on. Anthony Baltimore?How could I have been so wrong about him? The things that happened between us from the moment I met him played over and over in my mind yet I could not understand how it turned out differently because things did not add up."Confused?" He asked and I nodded.He lowered his gun and said, "Okay, we have enough time. We can delay your execution. Now where do I start?Before you showed up at my house, sweetie, I already expected you. I was ten steps ahead at all times and it was fun watching you all play your part in trying to bring me down and steal my wealth. Hmm...I must have seemed really stupid and easy to you all.""But how...how?""How could I achieve all of that and steal look oblivious? Is that what you are curious about?" He smirked. "Ever heard of the B
My eyes widened in fear as I reached for my gun, moving my hand closer to the pocket of my pants. however, Hale's warning voice rang from behind me."Don't even think about it, if you do not want me to blow up your brains. What did I tell you, Ria?A day of reckoning finally came. Now, where is your prince charming? He's gone and left you all alone."His words struck me as I realized that Anthony could really be gone from this world."What did you do to him?" I asked and he angrily slapped my cheek from behind."I said shut the hell up, Ria. Still pining over him even at a time like this? What happened to you?"I knew Hale was not going to let me live but I wasn't going to make it easier for him. This was what I thought.I lifted my right hand, wanting to strike his face with my elbow, however, I felt a sharp pain in my head as he knocked me unconscious with his gun.As darkness slowly engulfed me, he covered the hood over my eyes and that was it.When I opened my eyes, we were at the
RIAAnthony stared at me and shook his head, "What is happening to you, Ria? We came here to have fun and not for you to become crazy. This is not funny anymore.""I wasn't trying to be funny, Anthony," I cried. "Why wouldn't you believe me? Why do you think I would joke with something like this?"He scoffed, "Believe you? Have you looked at the way you're acting, Ria? I don't get it, we came here to have fun and enjoy our lives, but you've been acting weirdly ever since we arrived.What do you mean by our lives are in danger? You're not making any sense." I nodded, "Okay, didn't you hear the gunshot earlier?"He smiled, "That sound earlier? That wasn't the sound of a gunshot.""Come on Anthony," I urged him. "Even you admitted to me back then that....."He shook his head, "Listen, Ria, let's not do this, okay? I don't know what is going on with you and you obviously don't want to share it with me, but I think you just need to rest and get yourself together, and you'll be fine okay."
RIAI was in no mood for what Anthony wanted. How could I be when the place I had thought would be a safe haven for us suddenly turned out to be easily accessible to our enemies? I still could not understand why the New Order found us so quickly and how they were able to see what was happening inside the villa. Did Anthony tell anyone about our trip? I was going to ask him about it. Perhaps he told someone close to him and there was a possibility that this was the same person who wanted him dead. But who could it be?My heart was still beating very fast. Nevertheless, I smiled and threw my arms around his neck, kissing him fiercely before going on my knees. I pulled down his briefs and looked up at him, our gazes locked briefly before I began to pleasure him.I opened my eyes almost two hours later and got up from the bed. I was exhausted not just because of the trip but also the rigorous sex Anthony and I had before I fell asleep. He was almost insatiable.Due to the kind of life I
RIAI opened my eyes when morning came and began to get ready for our trip. I had barely slept a wink because I could not stop thinking about Hale's next line of action. I had barred him from calling me but I knew that was not enough to stop him.I quickly made breakfast while Anthony got ready. We had breakfast together and began to leave. Anthony took my luggage from me, saying everything he needed was in the city we were heading to.Just as we got outside, I spotted Trisha who had just walked into the compound. My heart skipped when we made eye contact. In spite of everything Anthony had said about her, I felt guilty because now, Anthony was leaving her for good and that was because of me."Are you guys going somewhere?" She asked, staring at the both of us in surprise."Hey Trisha," I managed to say before heading toward Anthony's car.She scoffed and rolled her eyes, "Oh really? Feeling like the boss already? Bitch!"I ignored her words as I pretended not to have heard them."Wha
Hale could not believe what had happened. He stared at his screen in shock and called Ria again. However, she hung up on him.He threw his phone on the couch and yelled, "Bitch!"He paced up and down, trying to figure out what the problem could be. Did Ria's words mean she wanted to turn against the New Order or was she simply expressing her anger at him?He concluded that it had to be the latter. Ria was a smart girl and definitely knew the implications of rebelling against her superiors. He decided to calm down. Ria was eventually going to crawl back to him and that would be the perfect time to carry out his revenge.Meanwhile, Ria picked up some items from her bedroom and walked slowly towards Anthony's room. Her heart was racing because she knew what Hale was capable of. However, she had crossed a line she could not go back from and had no choice but to get herself ready.When she entered the room, she saw Anthony asleep. She stared at him and said in a low voice, "I'm going to p
