Skye’s POVWhile speaking with Marco, an idea popped into my mind. I got excited and put our call to an end. Anyway, it wasn't safe to stay on the phone for long. And talking to Marco in person was more captivating for me. “I want to expedite the wake,” I told Gab as soon as the conversation with Marco ended. I was thinking about wrapping things up here, and going home to see Marco. I wanted to check his condition with my own eyes and I was convinced that only by then would I feel peace. “What do you want me to do?” Gab asked in return. This man is making me smile at how easy it is to talk with him. I never expect him to be this obedient based on my first impression of him, but as soon as I gave the chance of accepting his presence with Marco and I, and investing my trust that this man will not hesitate to put his life in line just to keep me safe, I have noticed he wasn’t was I thought he was. Gab is a reliable and dependable companion. He is almost a step ahead in making sure o
Gab’s POVI noticed the weirdness in Attorney Newman’s behavior. He was sweating and obviously acting odd, compared to how he was earlier with us. If I would let my gut feelings lead me, I was suspicious of his way of acting at the moment. I walked closer to the lawyer. I was thinking about asking someone else to tell me where this man was before coming here, but as I got closer, I noticed something different on the buttons of his suit vest. It was a camera lens! ‘How bold of him!’ I thought. Bold indeed, because it was either he was brave enough, or he was foolish enough to provoke Skye despite what he had witnessed in the meeting room earlier. Nevertheless, his actions angered me. He was clearly putting Skye’s life in danger by giving whoever is behind the monitor screen of this hidden camera an eye and a chance to watch Skye’s actions in the privacy of her room. So, I discreetly pulled my hand gun and pointed its barrel’s end on the lawyer’s waist. He looked at me with eyes lik
Winston’s POVI was anticipating some of the consequences that might pop after the young Lady Supremo took that shot on the hidden camera that she discovered the lawyer was wearing in his suit vest. To add more conflict to the situation, the poor lawyer was in so much shock and drowning in fear when he was threatened to wear a hidden camera in his clothing knowing he would probably get to stay close to the young Supremo, who is without a doubt being hated by everyone of the remaining six elders at the meeting table earlier. So, I gave my men a direct order through our service line to keep their eyes and ears open for anything and everything. But not being able to see the situation where the gun fires were falling like the rain in the midsummer still made me feel anxious. So, I walked ahead of the young Lady as she was walking with her personal bodyguard, whom I am also quite impressed with how efficient he was in doing his tasks, Gabby. I have assigned enough men to watch her back as
Marco’s POVDespite Matt Shannon’s disapproval, I insisted on acting on my instincts. I spoke to my men assigned for my security and we arranged plans on how I could leave the house without being noticed. “I don’t know, Matt. I just feel like something bad is going to happen if I stay here and ignore my gut feeling about something. I am even lost to think and identify what it is specifically. But I need to do something!” These were the words I said to Matt when he insisted I tell him why I was so eager to leave Skye’s home when I was told not to. Matt even tried to clarify things to me that my actions might cause more harm to the two, Skye and Gab, nevertheless, I ignored his warnings and shut Matt off when I spoke to my men while asking someone else to watch over the good doctor so he wouldn’t be bothering me, or trying to stop me. And with the help of my men, we were able to come up with a good plan and as the creepy feeling inside me intensified, I asked everyone to move as soon
Matt’s POVWe arrived at Marco’s mansion and without leaving his side, I walked into the basement with him and just as I had anticipated, Marco opened the vault but not before telling his men to make sure everyone is standing and securing their designated posts. “What are you looking for?” I asked Marco when I noticed he was agitated as he was digging into things. “I am not sure, man, I am merely rummaging through like I am looking for a needle in a haystack, but not knowing if I am looking for a needle or a toothpick or anything of the sort!” Marco sighed as distress seemed to intensify in his aura. I tried to lighten up the mood by sharing sincere advice. “I think you should take a deep breath and calm down. Your emotion being all over the place might be clouding your senses,” I said as I looked around the room. I tried to make my words sound as easy as how I wanted Marco to take them without adding any more pressure to my point by not meeting eyes with him. I arrived at the gla
Skye’s POVI was not stupid not to expect that when I shoot that lens of the hidden camera in Attorney Newman’s suit vest’s button, something would happen. I was ready. Or maybe my anger was just too much to give a damn about anything else. But when we were about to face the crowd, where I was going to announce that the process of the wake would be quickened, we did not even get to the main lobby where the guests were gathered in front of the temporarily made altar, when a heart shaking sound of gunfire broke the silence of the whole surroundings. I was shaken! I froze in my spot where Gab protectively covered his body on top of me while we were down on the ground to avoid getting hit by any flying bullet. I closed my eyes tightly as I tried to collect myself in composure. I did not want to appear scared, although I was in cold sweat all over. I even think my soul escaped my body for a moment as I shook like a leaf in so much fear. But I did not want anyone to see me like a dog wit
Gab’s POV“With the commotion that occurred here, the authorities will no doubt be here very soon,” I said to Winston when he asked me what to do next. “I don’t want her to get exposed, so we are leaving the building.”“The whole area is already surrounded. You might not see it, but there are a lot of authorities hiding everywhere and would grab anyone that would step out of this building,” he answered.I was taken aback.“What are you talking about?”I stared at the man sharply.“Who are you?!” I asked again. This time my tone was a bit harsh. But recalling how this man was he
Marco’s POV As soon as the news reached my knowledge about the sudden sound of gunfire in the building where Skye and Gab were said to be holding a funeral for the Naharts, I ordered all my men to gear up because we were leaving as soon as possible. I was worried Skye and Gab would insist I stay down, I did not contact them until I was ten minutes away from arriving at their location. Just as I anticipated, Skye tried to talk me out of it. But I remained firm with my decision. Not a chance will I let her be in such a dangerous place, even if she wasn’t alone, because Gab was with her. But I needed to be right next to her! With her identity that I have found out, although I am still in awe and greatly bewildered, I cannot hold myself back to see her and tell her the news about her parents. “Marco, you can’t be here with us, stay outside and stand by, we will call you when we need your help. Right now, I really doubt your presence here would mean anything with sense,” Skye said ov
