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
“Five hundred years ago, there was a man named Cosmos Bilan. According to the image he drew of himself, he was just as attractive as all of us here. When he was just a child, his parents were brutally murdered by some Mafia gangs, and everything they owned was taken away. Growing up on the streets and fighting illegal battles to make ends meet, his only zeal was to avenge his parents and siblings. He found out from his parents that his grandparents had equally been murdered by these same hangs. That is, he had no family to call his own.” “He trained and learned, fighting in underground death wrestling pits and so on, he began to make money and also began to invest. Years passed and Cosmos Bilan was unheard of. From the records of this book, he continued to train in secret. When he came out, no wrestling pits or underground wrestling pits could hold him down. Cosmos Bilan became Don Cosmos Blade. He chose the name Blade because of how sharp his sword and skills were. He lov
“Because you mentioned twins or triplets which have never been among us Blades, we shall reduce your punishment for one, not marrying an arranged bride, and two, for putting a young maiden in the family way. You also have to understand that whatever punishment you choose will be doubled, then reduced by the pardon of multiple births. Our predecessor Cosmos, wished for it many times in some of his writings but none of the Wreaths gave that to us,” Rex recalled, smiling a little, then he continued, “You can choose between the following; 5 stabs of the knife instead of ten because of the possibility of having twins or triplets. One bullet from the gun instead of two, wherever your supervisor chooses, or fifty lashes from the traditional whip instead of a hundred. Thanks to your father, there is another clause,” Rex revealed. Caddaric waited patiently, as the elderly man explained softly, “You can sign a new document whereby you live on sixty percent, instead of fifty of all the benefits
Casper recalled that he had made the same mistake before when he tried to be a hero for love. Thanks to Cathan and Caleb, his back was saved in time. Dealing with a person who seemed to be his younger self, Casper knew that he had to end this discussion. He would discuss with Colton and Carter on what to do to save the situation if the need arose. When they stood up to leave the conference room, Allan instantly went around and embraced Caddaric, his eyes welled up in tears. “Cadda, I’ve had only one best friend in my life but today, you proved to be more than a best friend. Please do me the honor and be my best man,” he pleaded with tears while hugging Caddaric tightly. Well, for someone who did not like body contact and hardly showed emotions, it felt weird. Only Ariana’s arms are welcomed around him so he gently pulled away from Allan and said sternly, “If you are making me your best man because of what happened now, then forget it. I didn't do it for you but for my unborn nephew
“Jul, please tell me first,” Ariana responded, her heart filled with unease. Was it another attack? If it was, then why would Juliet want her to see it? Why wasn’t even Anna overly protective? It was understandable that Marshall was not there when it was time for him to resume work because of his new engagement with the Blades Academy. The more Ariana thought about the whole thing, the more worried she felt. She made no resistance while Juliet dragged her out of the office and into the elevator. “Close your eyes, Ana,” Juliet said when they stepped out of the elevator. “Why?” Ariana asked, confused. “Due to your condition, you can only see what you have to see,” Juliet said, increasing her anxiety. Since she trusted her best friend, she did not argue any longer. As soon as Ariana closed her eyes, she was blindfolded by Juliet and dragged away, not knowing where she was taking her. Strangely, the music in the club was different. It was not the usual one a lot of people would dance to
When Caddaric dropped off Ariana that morning, he did not go back to the office but rather, met with Colton, as they went to his jewelry shop. When Colton realized what Caddaric planned to do, he recalled his failed proposal, instantly purchasing a ring as well. Caddaric might own the ring shop but Colton took nothing for free. They both paid for their women’s rings. Caddaric had everything pre-arranged with Marshal, Anna, and Juliet. This was supposed to be Marshall’s last day at the club since he was going to begin working at the Academy so Anna was now in charge of his team as well. The planning took a toll on them due to how they had to close down the club except for those who understood there was going to be a special event before the club would continue to operate. Caddaric had also promised all those present that he would pay for everyone’s drinks for the night in celebration of his engagement to Ariana. Although people were cheering, most of the ladies were not happy that Cad
