I felt even bolder when his laughter filled my ears. It seemed to me that his words about being lenient and gracious if we do not annoy him. And when he verbally said I can sit wherever I want to, I did not get to hide my smirk as I chose to sit where I can clearly see his face and told the man I was wondering about what he looked like and I saw a man who sounded so gentle was too far different from the face looked. I stared at him. I could see an ugly scar on his face. it almost made a long line of cuts on his face. The skin on the scar had thickened and darkened. The scar had made him look so fierce. Even with his smiling face, he looked scary.Nevertheless, despite that, despite how I was looking at his face so intently, the man did not show any annoyance or anger. His smile remained, and with the same gentle voice, he asked me what my verdict was. I did not make my answer verbal. I just nodded with my eyebrows up in approval. I have learned not to judge a book by its cover and m
“When you get to live as long as my years in life,” George said with a sigh. “And as violent as I had, realizing later that they weren’t even necessary at all, you might get tired of being feared by people, but equally tired to prove them that you are already an old and without sharp fangs monster,” he laughed in low breath.The older man started to tell us what kind of life he has had and how he was actually feeling in the past few days, all of a sudden. He also signaled at the lady to sit on the chair next to him and introduced her to us.“This is my one and only woman. Her name is Almira. She has been the queen of my heart, but life has played so many nasty tricks on us. She gave me this scar but she loved me more after that. I will spare you the drama, but I would like to give you an offer,” George Nahart stated. “Greetings, your Majesty!” I playfully bowed like a noble lady in ancient times.Everyone in the room laughed, even Gab although his sound was almost inaudible. I could
Then the screen showed some faces that Goerge Nahart pointed to as people he was not so happy having them in his payroll, but Goerge cannot recklessly move them away without considering an inside war to take place within his built kingdom. “Don’t worry, if you think you might forget them, I will make sure to remind you so you’d know whom to watch your back from, or take them down without anyone knowing about it,” George said when I asked to show those faces one more time again later. The screen turned black for a very concise moment and when it resumed, the images that appeared to our eyes were no longer from the same area. “This one here is the auction room. As you can see, this has become a very different world. I understand that the fad has changed and I admit I do not know how to adjust myself to everything around me, but I am an old fashioned man. I cannot bear to stomach watching people from different races, status in life, and ages, indulge into sexual activities like hungry
“I’m so sorry to hear that,” I said softly. Goerge was too quick to change his moods and aura, depending on how he deemed his woman needs to be assisted. And when Almira seemed to have adjusted back, she turned to stare at Goerge with a slight frown on her lovely face. “I think you knew her and her husband, too, dearie,” Almira said. “If we find the chance, let’s visit their graves, okay?” she requested humbly. “But of course, now that we have our new found alliance who would help us execute our long-planned exit in this nonsense world we foolishly had built all these years, once we find our way out, we will do everything in your bucket list, my dear,” the older man answered dotingly. “Wow! I wish to find the same love as yours. A love that would last me a lifetime!” I chuckled. Then the screen showed a different location. “This is the lab. I am confident to say that everyone working here is loyal to me, but we can’t be one hundred percent sure about that. Money, ambitions, and
Gab’s POVI agreed with Goerge and Almira’s thoughts about Rolan Leblanc being hellbent in taking the forwarding company that they have mentioned. Ever since I could remember, there had been someone to keep pressing and pressuring Marco in running the business. I did not know who it was at first, but I did not cease helping Marco find out who could be the culprit. We have had suspicions, but we all know suspicions and allegations will only be claimed to be true with a solid proof, and more proof would be better. It took us years. Including a few times of cheating on death just to find out we were never wrong on our suspicions. Marco and I would take every single chance that is presented for us to chase whatever lead we get in order to reveal and know who we were fighting against. And as expected, every time we tried to pry or dig deeper, risks were inevitable. But then again, we will only know how to defeat our enemy if we know who we are fighting with and how they fight. We have to
George’s POVI was not expecting such extra special guests to pay me a visit tonight. I was just doing a part of my routine. To be honest, I should say, it is a tiring daily activity. But who am I to complain when I was the one who created them? A very eye-catching face seemed to have hypnotized me that I kept staring at it. Not that she was getting me excited for any sexual reasons, I never crave sensuality aside from the ones I could share with the only person who owned my heart, mind, body and soul. My one and only sweet Almira!I even had her by my side and with all the sincerity and purity of my heart, including my words, I told her everything I was inexplicably feeling about that face that we were staring at on the big screen. Almira conveyed the order to send that young lady and her companion to place. I was right beside her and listening to Almira’s every word as she spoke over the phone to the person in charge of the strip club where I saw that enchanting face at the entra
Almira’s POV The moment I saw the two fascinating youngsters, I felt an indescribable warmth more intense than how I felt watching their youthful faces on the screen monitors of the security cameras. I had no way to justify or explain why I would feel such an emotion towards people whom I could practically say were perfect strangers to me. I was annoyed how the delinquent waitress bid her goodbye to the young lady guest that I was receiving in our home’s foyer. But as always, I chose to express my reaction in a positive way by comforting the person being treated poorly. And I am glad that this young lady was wise enough not to stoop down low to that waitress level. I was enjoying her company, although I tried not to show much of my enjoyment for her bubbly personality as she was so vocal, honest and direct to say her thoughts about random things, including her discomfort to walk. This particular request from the young lady solidified a thought I had in mind about her.‘This young
Gab’s POVI was still finding it hard to believe that this feared man in the underworld was acting and behaving so kindly and unbelievably accommodating to Skye’s every silly antic and behavior. Maybe the older man and woman were also considering the possibilities of her actions being due to the coke that we were served with earlier. But the more they got to speak, since I was merely watching and observing, as well as discreetly guiding Skye from putting us both in a compromising situation, I was starting to worry even more. Why?!It was because the flow of their conversation had gone even too far to even take it for a joke!George Nahart had not shown anger when Skye asked so many questions including showing us his face. But who would have thought that our aim to take this man down to avenge Marco would lead us to Skye being offered to take his throne while I serve as her guide and help to do whatever she may ever need?!‘This was totally insane!!!’I am not saying I envy Skye, but
