I will begin updating two chapters same time tomorrow. Do you think Carter stands a chance in having Juliet? Please let me know your thoughts. And please remember to send me lovely gems. xoxo.
“Do you think the guys are drinking again like last night?” Ariana asked, disturbed. “Why don’t you go and check?” Juliet shrugged and spoke. For as long as the three men were together, they could not be drinking water but she did not tell Ariana, for fear of aggravating her worries. Ariana shook her head and sat back on the bed. “It will be as if I’m spying on them. So, what is it with you and Colton?” She asked curiously. Juliet smiled instantly and said, “I think we made headway. He said he loved me from the first time he saw me.” Juliet’s heart did a flip, as she recalled their kiss in the middle of the dance floor. “So, you are happy?” Ariana asked, half-seriously. Juliet stared into space and said, “I am except…” “What?” Ariana asked curiously, tapping on the side of the bed for Juliet to sit. She did before she continued, “Carter. He hardly allows us privacy.” “He will get the message soon. I thin
Everything about Colton felt serene, it was as if Juliet was in another world whenever he was with her. Colton went around to open the door for her, excitement running through his veins. However, as soon as Juliet stepped out, he said, “I won’t push it but I’ll still want to hear it sometime.” He removed his black card and gave it to her. “Since you are used to making the first move, take this.” “Cole,” Juliet was about to refuse but he did not allow it. “I won’t take no for an answer. Unless you stop making the first move,” he said seriously. If he could not tame her, then he would find ways to work with her. An idea crossed Juliet’s mind and she smiled while taking the card. “You must have loads of cash that you want me to spend,” she said teasingly. Colton smiled back assuringly, “Now you got the message.” “Perhaps, we could start a business instead,” she said, half-jokingly. Colton stiffened slightly, not knowing that s
Juliet was uncomfortable with the arms wrapped around her and it also felt very wrong, seeming that Carter was now the desperate one. Whichever way, though it wasn’t wrong for people to be in such positions in environments like this, Juliet was very much concerned about what Colton would think. Quickly, she forced herself out of his embrace and turned to face him. “What are you doing? Why can’t you be happy that I am happy?” She asked despairingly, certain that Carter wanted to use whichever means to ruin her relationship with Colton, including making her look like a cheater. “Are you?” Carter asked. He did not believe her. “Yes,” Juliet confirmed, Carter’s eyes dimmed but he felt that she was saying it to get back at him, pointing out, “But you don’t love Colton. I was the one you asked to dance with you.” Juliet pursed her lips. She could not say that she regretted it because something good came out of her daring move, and that w
Earlier Colton saw a familiar figure and said, “Let’s go.” Doctor Sarah was confused as she asked, “where?” “Wherever Carter is,” Colton said, lifting himself from the bar stool. He figured that Doctor Sarah would know where Carter was and wherever he’d see Carter, he'd find Juliet. Doctor Sarah stood up too but with a different intention, “No, I’ll just go home.” She did not see the need to continue being there after how things had turned out. Also, she did not know how to face Juliet and felt uncomfortable around Colton but he insisted, “Just do as I say, Doc, don’t argue.” The sternness in his tone made it impossible for her to refuse. Colton could feel something wrong. He saw Don Moncho approach Juliet at the refreshment party and he was here. Though everyone was welcome to the club, why did Colton feel that the man was here for Juliet? As they walked through the crowd of heavy dancers, he lost sight of Don Moncho but saw a man holding a gun, who did not look like any of the
“I forgot to ask. If your father is Don Santiago, then why do you work in the club?” Colton asked Juliet whiles he drove back to the penthouse. Santiago was a millionaire and hence the question since Juliet was his only child. Carter insisted that he was fine and would go to Allan after a little rest like Caddaric had suggested to him before. He needed to learn a thing or two from Allan and was going to give it his all. Doctor Sarah agreed to stay with him for a while so Colton left. “When he disowned me, he took away all my allowances and living expenses, so I would run back to him but I decided to find a job in the place I loved the most,” Juliet explained. She had no regrets for the decisions she took and how she became independent after being used to a life of affluence. “Why did he disown you?” Colton asked again. “Because I dropped out from school but I have been in communication with his chief aid, warning me to be careful of some other Dons. I admit it’s just my nature. I l
Caddaric has never been so happy to hear from Casper. His main concern was how to get Ariana out safely and calmingly, Casper took care of it before Caddaric could think about it. The sound of gunshots was getting closer without warning and hearing the sound of bombs, he knew those were his cars being set to flames as well. He spoke hastily. “You have to be careful. They are already here and Juliet is here too. Since they want Ariana, I know they won’t blast the house until they get her, which I will not allow.” “Hunter went ahead when we could not reach you. I will be very disappointed if you don’t have a secret exit,” Casper said from the end of the line. When Allan could not reach Caddaric after all the findings, he decided to involve Casper, which turned out to be a wise move. From Allan’s tracker, Caddaric and Ariana were both in the penthouse and Casper did not need anyone’s permission to go there. Luckily, Hunter’s house was just about ten minute’s drive from that of Caddaric
“Cousin, we need to get our injuries checked to not get blisters. Ariana will be worried about you if she sees anything like that on your skin,” Colton pointed out. Only then did Caddaric tear his eyes off his penthouse which was in flames, as the firefighters did their best to quench the fire. It was not in his nature to buy an already-built home. Due to what he does, he always had it built from scratch and his dream mansion was nowhere near completion. This house had also been a home for Ariana because he had given it to her. He lowered his head sadly, “You are right but Bruce and whoever is involved, has to pay and since I’ll be busy in a few hours, I have to get this done with,” he said with determination. It was past midnight and he was supposed to meet the seniors. As for the house, he was going to make the perpetrator pay triple, the same for his cars. His phone rang and when he checked the caller ID, it was Allan. “Cadda, I’m sorry but they are
On the other side of the world, eight of the dons were having virtual meetings, as they discussed the videos they were seeing. Most of them were frowning with disgust, as they watched how humans were being slaughtered like animals in a butcher shop. Knowing the masked man’s identity made it easy for his location to be known but it did not guarantee victory. There was still a shaking in the underworld since Caddaric remained undefeated. The eight Dons; Moncho, Raphael, Chevy, Clyde, Apache, Columbo, Carmine, and Bugsy, were all either involved in shady deals or had one selfish reason to the other, as to why Caddaric should be destroyed. “The monster. He is indeed worse than his father,” the oldest amongst them, Don Columbo remarked. The younger ones had not seen Casper in action until the video of Lord Night went viral among the mafia groups. “They are even two now. Who is the other guy?” Don Chevy asked from the video call. Moncho was the only one among them who

The family and not Claire? One of the Cals was about to disappear but Caddaric shook his head and said, “Let him in.” He already foresaw what was going to happen. Lord Marvin was looking dashing while he greeted everyone. He spent more time with Carter and said, “Mr. Carter Blade, I want to marry your daughter, Claire.” Sarah’s jaw dropped but Carter responded casually, “You should tell her, not me. I can’t decide for her.” Lord Marvin smiled. “Thanks for giving me your approval,” he said before Carter realized something and asked,“Wait, did you just trick me?” Everyone laughed as Lord Marvin knelt before Claire. He asked with a smile, “I asked you before and you told me to ask your dad. He just gave his support so; will you marry me?” Claire pulled him up by the collar with two hands and kissed him. “Yes, I will marry you,” she said after pulling away. When she received her ring, she was over the moon as their lips met again. The parents were so happy, they were shedding joyful
At Garnet’s residence, the two Cals arrived after having a quick shower. They were casually dressed and did not want to attend the party without their women. Madelyn was not at home so Cal one entered the house after knocking on the door once. Florence and Sue were having dinner and Sue froze upon seeing the two men. “There are two of them?” she asked Florence. “Yeah,” Florence smiled and said, loving the surprised look on her twin’s face. They had also begun wearing the same things as the men due to Caddaric and Casper’s warnings for the other pair to not be known about. The two men did not know which of the maidens were theirs, as such had not made a move so Florence said, “Grandpa marked me to match one of you.” Cal one instantly grabbed and kissed her passionately. When he broke from the kiss, he slipped a ring onto her finger. A diamond ring. Flo one’s eyes watered. She was not expecting it at all. They only told them about the marriage being a wed
“Good news and bad news to all families who lost a daughter, a mother, a wife, or any female. A rescue operation led by the man introduced barely a few weeks ago by the Blade family as the twin heir with his sister who the world already knew was the ghost, has performed another successful operation. This time, he rescued with the help of a few men, one hundred and thirty-three women from an underground basement in Jim Correy’s mansion.” Everyone turned to Cal, who was watching leisurely but the news was being reported live and videos showed him fighting and killing off some bodyguards while Carson, who sat beside him, was bringing out the women with a few men they contracted on the way upon hearing about the number. The emergency institutions and agencies had been informed and were on their way, as the reporter went on to say, “Some of them are in critical condition and are being transported to the hospital. Some are very weak and are being attended to by medical
“Why do you want me to sign a prenup?” Jim was not liking it. A wife was a means of support in hard times so what if Cleo died? Then everything of hers would go back to the Blades? How ruthless. He arrived in NY last night with Cleo and was having a final meeting with the Blades before the wedding took place. Cal one had passed information to Claire to calm everyone but not make it look suspicious that Cleo was disguised and had not turned her back on the family and Junior as they thought before. “Did she not tell you? My granddaughter has a net worth of billions so how can we be sure that you are not marrying her because of money? Tomorrow, you would ask for a divorce and ask her to split her assets. We can’t allow that,” Casper said sternly. He came with a few other Blade seniors but since he was the head of all of them, he took over the discussion. “Then she would have to sign a prenup against my wealth too,” Jim bantered. It was just as they had told him. The
Women lay on top of each other like sardines because the room, though big, was too small for them. They looked drowsy and just a few of them were alert. When they saw her, they were afraid. “Please don’t hurt us,” one of them said. Cleo’s heart was pained when she saw how they had still been tied together in their condition. Her knees touched the cold dirty floor while she comforted them, “I won’t hurt you but what are you doing here?” She asked in a hushed tone in Spanish because the woman addressed her in the said language. “We were kidnapped and brought here. Every time they come for someone; she does not return. We are starved, so we’ll be weak and can’t escape when given the chance,” she spoke bitterly. Cleo continued to interact with her in a low tone in Spanish. “But you look strong.” “That’s because I’m the last person to be brought here. The longer you stay, the weaker you get and get eliminated. Did they kidnap you too?” She asked pi
“This marriage will give us their protection and we will not have to hide our business anymore. For as long as we use her to threaten them, they will overlook all that we do. Can’t you see that we can’t get more women because everyone is on the lookout for us?” Jim asked helplessly. Justice’s tone softened as he cautioned, “You have to be careful. I will go and check on the packages.” Jim knew that he meant the women in the basement and reminded him, “We are leaving tomorrow for NY.” “Then let’s have some fun before tomorrow and don’t bring her along,” Justice said and was about to walk away when Cleo asked innocently, “Does your friend hate me? You did not introduce us. Jim, I feel like you are ashamed of me. You don’t want me to know about your friends and family,” she faked being hurt, and somehow, her eyes reddened instantly. She had to do this as proof that she had not heard their discussion and did not know about Justice’s relation to Ji
The Callahans have been in Mexico for three days. They were able to track Cleo’s location but have not heard any feedback, whether good or bad from her. They were getting worried and impatient, on the verge of breaking into Jim’s so-called mansion. Two days to Cleopatra’s wedding with Jim but she had not made headway. Every time, she insisted on staying back at the mansion when she had the chance and searched for vital information but got none. Jim never entertained maids. A cleaner would come every morning to clean and leave after two to three hours. Time was running out and Cleo was still clueless as to what Jim did for a living. Sometimes, she was tempted to believe that Jim was indeed innocent of all the accusations but her instincts would insist on him being guilty. Tomorrow, they will be headed to NY for the wedding so if Cleo did not step up, then she’d have to marry Jim to continue her search or give up on the whole thing after breaking up with him, which
Caddaric received information from Casper that Florence had been marked so he said sternly to Sue, “I will send you to your real mother and twin sister but you shall both bear the same name and no one should know that there are two of you. Florence is the name of your twin sister. She would explain things to you.” Sue was dumbstruck. Twins? Now she was getting upset with the woman she had known all her life as a mother. She had been denied her time with her sister and she wished Caddaric had told her before the woman left. No wonder she was afraid and thought she was going to be punished but rather got compensation. “So, my name is going to be changed to Florence?” Sue asked seriously and was eager to meet her twin sister. “All your records and identity would be destroyed. You are Florence Garnet II,” Caddaric explained. Sue did not seem happy but when engulfed in the warm embrace of a middle-aged woman who looked like her, she began to shed tears. Madelyn was so
