Christopher Stallion drove into the premises of his den. He got out of the car and entered the building, which was one of three on the property. The building he entered was the smallest.Inside, he spotted his son sitting. "What happened, Dad? You don't look so good," Bryce asked.Christopher Stallion sighed, "How are you feeling, son?""I feel a lot better," Bryce replied."Okay.""What happened, Dad?" Bryce inquired once more."It's nothing for you to worry about. Just get as much rest as possible. When the time comes, we will talk."After talking to his son, he entered a room where his most trusted underling, Sniper, awaited him.As he entered, Sniper stood up, "Boss, I heard about it. What went wrong and what's the next plan?"Christopher laughed, "If they think they've succeeded, they have another thing coming. This is what you're going to do: gather all the other men from the other gangs. I am the overall leader and have the right to summon them. I need every single one of the
The cop whom Stallion had informed to get rid of Andre at the hospital looked at the four officers who were also guarding Andre's door with him. He realized that he couldn't handle everything alone, so he went to meet Bill, who was keeping watch outside the hospital.Once he was there, he told Bill about Stallion's orders, and they quickly came up with a plan. Afterward, Bill left the hospital to get some snacks, while the cop went back to guard Andre's door.When Bill returned, he texted the cop, who in turn said to the four officers, "I'm very famished, I need to eat something briefly. I'll be right back." He went to meet Bill again, and they ate some snacks outside. Afterward, they came in and met the other four officers."I got some snacks for you guys," Bill said to them. They all thanked him and each took their snacks from him. They knew that it was not proper for them to eat while guarding Andre's door. So Bill said to them, "You know what, you all can go stay somewhere and
Shawn arrived at Stallion's hideout. He had first gone to a different one since Andre had given him two different locations.The moment he realized that Queen wasn't in the first location, he quickly drove to the second. Once he arrived at the second location, he knew he was at the right place.Seeing how much damage had been done to the place and the number of men who were dead and unconscious, Shawn wondered if Queen was still alive.He approached the last standing building carefully and spotted Queen at the rear. He drew his breath in fear when he recognized Stallion's son and saw him pick up a gun and point it at Queen.Before Bryce could pull the trigger, however, Shawn shot his hand and the gun fell from it. He cried out in pain and tried to pick up the gun with his left hand but Shawn shot it as well.Queen opened her eyes when she realized that she hadn't been shot. She saw Shawn running toward her and tears slipped down her cheeks.Shawn first walked over to Christopher Stall
Queen fell asleep in Shawn's arms and when she opened her eyes two hours later, she felt so much better.She got up from the bed and looked around for Shawn. She wanted to find out how her parents were faring but she had no idea where she kept her phone.She found Shawn in the kitchen cooking and just stood by the door admiring him. He was putting on a white singlet and white briefs. His broad shoulders tapered down to a slim waist and his posture exuded virile masculinity which reminded her of how much pleasure she experienced each time his hands caressed her naked body."When you are done enjoying the back view, you can tell me and I will gladly turn," Shawn's voice snapped her out of her thoughts.She chuckled, "You caught me...but I wasn't loud, how did you know I was behind you?"Shawn walked up to her and stood an inch away, "I know even your heartbeat, Queen. There is no way you will be close to me, that I will be oblivious to your presence, even if my back is turned. That is ho
Once the intruder got Into the living room, he realized what had happened and covered his nose. He looked at the unconscious Queen on the ground and the gun which had fallen off her hand.Holding in his breath, he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. He covered his nose once again and was about to walk away when Shawn threw a knife at him from behind.He swiftly moved to the side, dodging the knife which got stuck in the door. He turned and stared at Shawn who pointed a gun at him and said, "Let her go otherwise I will blow off your brains."The man regarded Shawn for a while and smiled. Shawn felt he had seen the intruder before since he looked quite familiar. He kept staring at him and finally lifted his brows in realization, "Anthony Baltimore?""Indeed I am," the man replied. "I came to fetch my sister at the request of her father."Shawn sighed, "What was the need to be so sneaky about it? Cell phones exist for a reason and Andre Scorpion definitely knows how to contact
Bryce opened his eyes and looked around him. He was on a bed in a room and one of his hands was bandaged. He struggled to sit up with great difficulty and at this point, a man walked into the room."I can see you're awake, Bryce. It's time to get to business," Cobra said to him."You were the one who saved me," Bryce stated the obvious. "Thank you."Cobra regarded him for a while and sighed, "I'm sorry about your father. He was already dead when I arrived at the scene.""I know," Bryce gritted his teeth. "I also know who killed him and I want her dead. No matter what it costs, she must die.""Queen Scorpion?" Cobra asked.Bryce nodded, "How did you know?""You were mumbling her name in your subconscious state. But she is just one little girl. How was she able to bring down the Wild Stallions? I still find it hard to believe," Cobra explained."She had help," Bryce replied. "I want them all dead; every single one of them should be killed.""Your father and I had an agreement and his de
Shawn pulled up in front of one of Anthony Baltimore's houses and called Queen's number, "I'm outside, Queen. Do you want me to come in?""No, it's fine," Queen replied. "I will come to you."She came out of the house and got into the Bugatti Shawn had driven. "Nice ride," She said. "Did you just buy it?"Shawn nodded, "Yes. We are going to be in Panama for a few days so I decided to get something different.""I love it," Queen replied.The ride to the hotel Shawn had booked was a quiet one. Queen kept thinking about the conversation she had shared with her parents. They told her to take her time before making up her mind. Her dad also suggested that she stay with them at home and not go anywhere until it was time for her inauguration; that was if she decided to become the next leader.It was as though she was stuck between a rock and a hard place. She knew she had to tell Shawn about it. He was going to be worried but it was important for him to know.Once they arrived at the hotel
Queen smiled at Shawn and hugged him, "Thank you very much, Shawn.""So who is going to be our candidate?" Shawn asked."To get the answer, we need to look at all the different gangs and the men at the top. My dad did say that the law specifies that whoever I take as my partner has to be someone at the top.""Okay, so who would it be?" Shawn asked."I moved all the information about the gangs to my mail before I left the house because I had to give the flash drive back to my father. So we can just look at the information of all the different gangs, and we'll be able to make our decision.""Okay, let's do that," Shawn replied.They began to look through the information of the different gang leaders, and those who were working at the top. After going through more than forty, Queen's attention was finally focused on two."I think these two are worthy candidates, what do you think, Shawn?"Shawn looked at the first one, he was called Ashton and belonged to the Red Tiger gang. Ashton's fath
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
