“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
“I have to go somewhere,” Carter said after a little thought. Junior asked instantly, “Can I come with you?” Carter sighed and ruffled Junior’s hair, “It’s late. Catch some sleep. You know we have to catch the bad guys, right?” “Right,” Junior agreed. He felt happy in the manor, that he didn’t want to leave. Sometimes, he’d see Casper training and join him. Casper would welcome and teach him a few things since Junior was ready to learn. Whereas he understood that if it was time to leave, Cassandra would be coming along and he would always have good home-cooked meals. Carter drove to Sarah’s house but the lights were off. He called her number severally but the woman did not answer his calls. He called the hospital landline as if he was a patient and realized she was on night duty so he drove to the hospital after picking up a bouquet of white lilies. Getting there, it wasn’t difficult to get a chance to see Sarah since some of the nurses were already drooling over him. He carried t
“What’s the plan?” Colton asked seriously. This news was unexpected and if Caddaric was going to do it, then he had already thought through it and come up with something but to his disappointment, Caddaric let out, “There is none. We just improvise and remember, none of them dies until they pay for all damages.” “Is it a surprise attack?” Carter asked, thrilled. This was the best part of working together with Caddaric again. Facing all the dangers together. “According to Allan, their hacker did nothing to cover their location, which means that they are expecting us,” Caddaric spelled out solemnly. He had a feeling that they were up to something but he would never know unless he went there. “Have you forgotten that we have a wedding soon?” Colton reminded him subtly since it would not be right for Caddaric to miss his sister’s wedding. “No, I haven’t forgotten. From New York to Las Vegas is almost a six hours flight. We should not take more than two days to be back for the wedding
Allan had been in Caddaric’s office at Casper’s instruction since he received information that the three cousins had arrived in Las Vegas. Caddaric had received the same training as Casper so they thought alike. When Carter and Colton passed the information of being asked to wait outside, Casper instructed them to eliminate all threats except Julius, since Allan said the guy was good. If Caddaric agreed that he needed Julius, then they could come to some form of agreement. The three Dons were sweating profusely, as Bruce and Sanj began to blame Schumer for this plan, which they realized had failed. Even if they forcefully locked the cage, they would still face Caddaric’s wrath because they would not be able to defeat him in a fight. The roaring sound of the lions scared the shit out of them but when they saw the darkness in the eyes of the man who was using all his strength to hold the door of the cage in place, they were even more horrified. Realizing that there was no way out, the
In the next six hours, the three cousins were in their private jet together with Julius back to NY. All through, Caddaric was in constant communication with Ariana. He was fussing so much about if she had eaten or if she had any discomfort if the work pressure was too much until Ariana told him to stop worrying because Casper, Jenna, Juliet, and Anna were all taking very good care of her. Anna had also assured him that the club was peaceful. Cassandra was beyond excited when the three men arrived the night before the wedding, allowing the girls to have a peaceful bachelorette party. It was even better because Doctor Sarah was there as well. The men had their bachelor’s night but were careful to not drink too much this time. Darel joined the party as well but as soon as Allan saw Caddaric, he hugged him and I said, “I knew you’d make it. I never second-guessed.” “I think you trust me too much,” Caddaric smiled and said before introducing Julius to Allan. The two were happy to meet e

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
