The phone dropped from Casper’s hand and he did not bother to pick it up, only doing so after reaching the academy. Ariana followed behind whiles he went to the punishment room. His eyes darkened dangerously, as he did not see Caddaric but two of Rudolph’s bodyguards being whipped. Pushing Ariana behind him, he spoke calmly,
“What is going on here?”Colton turned round to face him, his face covered in anger and fear, as he held it all in and responded, “Uncle Casper, Rudolph poisoned the whip.”“Where is Caddaric?” Casper asked, not caring about the groaning bodyguards. It did not look like they had taken enough lashes from the marks on their backs but they looked as if they were going to die any minute.“At the ER,” Colton nodded his head and said, feeling like he failed. Ariana’s heart wanted to fall out of her chest when she heard Colton’s voice, though her view was blocked by Casper so she could not see the two bodyguards. She understood tDoctor Sarah arrived with Juliet and Jenna. Jenna was heartbroken to have experienced this for the second time. The first being her husband, and now her son. Doctor Sarah performed checks on Caddaric, confirming that he was out of harm’s way. Investigations showed that just as Casper and Ariana had suspected. The ER doctor had been in Cahoots with Rudolph and was receiving his punishment. Slowly, Caddaric regained his strength and the next day, he insisted on going home. He could hardly walk without support but since Doctor Sarah was on leave, she agreed to stay to continue treating him at home. Also, it was because of Carter. Caddaric could speak slowly but his energy was very low, he could not take more than five steps at a time. Doctor Sarah confirmed that it would take at least a week for him to fully recover. Allan and Cassandra returned from their short stay at the hotel and they were always by Caddaric’s side since they were the only ones new to what happened. Two days later
“He sleeps deeply because of his medications and sores so let’s lock him in his room for now. We can keep a gun by his side just in case any intruder gets there,” Casper said after careful thought. For as long as Caddaric does not face someone like Don Dragon, it would be alright. He turned to Cassandra and said, “Cassa, get Ariana out quietly okay.” “Alright,” Cassandra said and left. Allan swallowed his saliva tightly, as he watched the silhouette disappear from the doorway. At least Junior had gone to spend some days with Darel after the wedding so Allan’s only worry was his pregnant wife. “We can’t get anyone out. It would be dangerous,” Allan said to Casper, who responded solemnly, “No one is going out. This is our house and we all have to defend it.” “What about bombs?” Allan asked worriedly, recalling what was done to Caddaric’s penthouse. Casper explained with certainty, “They won’t use them since they want Caddaric
Caddaric has been sleeping the longest he ever did in his life. He was awakened by the noise and realized his door had been locked. He tried to kick it down, which should have been easy but somehow, he was not strong enough. Seeing the gun on the bed and knowing the manor had been attacked, he opened his medicine cabinet and injected himself with adrenaline, knowing it was dangerous for his health. Picking the gun, he shot at the door and continued to shoot a few people, only to arrive at a scene where his cousin was being battered and his father nearly getting deeply injured. His anger rose, as his blood boiled when he saw Don Dragon and all those Dons and ex-militia in his father’s manor. He was able to save his father from injury and vowed to use the strength he had from the adrenaline to kill Don Dragon even if Caddaric died after that.“Cadda, you are not strong enough, don’t be stubborn again,” Casper cautioned“Adrenaline,” Caddaric said to Casper. Instantly, the man ran out of
One by one, they broke from the hug with the realization sinking in that one very important person was missing from the group. She was the first person the women wanted to report on but the sudden state in which Caddaric was, made them forget for a moment. One by one, the hands wrapped around one another began to drop as each person began to rise to his feet, the last person being Caddaric, as he was supported by Ariana but seemed to be fine. However, he did not know what happened and the reason why Ariana was crying. It was as if that part of his brain had been erased and he was having a headache but right now, he was concerned for Juliet. “Moncho has her,” Ariana responded to Colton but the man was greatly disappointed until Ariana was about to explain when Cassandra took the words from her mouth. “There was a group of men waiting for us at the end of the tunnel. We did our best and shot as much as we could but ran out of bullets. They almost caught up to us when Juliet found the
Sarah seemed to have forgotten about the people around her until the same male reporter from before asked, “Doctor Sarah, you seem surprised. Is he lying or what?” Again, Carter responded before Sarah could come out of her shock. “No, I just haven’t told her yet.” He checked his shirt pocket, bringing out a broken ring case but the ring was intact. He had wanted to propose to her the night before the attack but Sarah had gone to check on Caddaric and spent a lot of time chatting with the girls, Carter had fallen asleep. It was not long before the attack hence, he had not changed his shirt from the night before. He brought out the ring and smiled weakly, “I’m sorry. I was going to propose before the intrusion.” He went down on one knee in front of her and the media reps as they gawked with shock. Sarah was too stunned to react upon seeing the expensive diamond ring. ‘Is he for real? Like…wait, we haven’t even kissed before.’ Sarah was lost in thought, feeling like
“He won’t remember,” Casper affirmed and added, “Show him the video.” Caddaric paused his food and began to watch the video Allan sent to his phone. His expression was neutral before he dropped the phone and hugged Ariana tightly, his eyes glassy. The emotionless monster suddenly got emotional upon seeing how the woman he loved refused to give up on him even after he had been declared dead by a medical doctor. Her tear-filled words fell heavily in his heart. “Thank you for not giving up on me for the second time,” he said in a voice full of heavy emotions, all eyes turned teary once again as the sound of cutleries dropping was heard. Ariana was still crying upon recalling everything. When that wicked Blade doctor was pronouncing nonsense over Caddaric, she knew that she had to fight for her man. “I hope there won’t be a third time, Cadda, because my heart would not be able to take it and I might just die with you,” she said, teary-eyed, and with a teary voice, as she hugged him back
Earlier, the three men spent the night together, talking about their experiences in love and how excited they were to have the women they loved. They ensured to sleep earlier than they were used to. Caddaric woke up very early and woke the rest. “Cadda, it's three hours to the wedding and we are not even the brides,” Carter complained, changing his sleeping position to the right. Caddaric shook him harder till the sleep cleared from his eyes and said, “We are the grooms and we have to arrive before our brides.” “I thought you let your bride arrive first,” Colton asked him. Caddaric frowned, not expecting his closest pals to have misunderstood him. “What? Do you think? No way. That was because of what I planned for Miranda but I will never do something like that to Ariana. I have to go and wait for my pregnant bride. If you two want to come later, then so be it,” he said and began walking towards the washroom when Colton yawned and said,
“I might manage the Blade Towers with the help of my wife but what about your businesses? I won’t have time for those,” Casper said honestly. The men agreed that the middle-aged man had a point so after deliberations, it was fair for Allan and Cassandra to attend their honeymoon first since there was peace after the storm. The Dons were of good behavior and though some were still having some shady deals, for as long as no one had proof and it did not affect innocent women and children, they could drink to it for now. Allan was relieved from hacking, focusing on producing more software while Julius took over the hacking. Junior was going to start a normal school as well so these were wonderful times. Among the three Cousins, Caddaric was the heir so it was agreed just as he wanted before, that he and Allan could attend their honeymoon first. When they return, Carter and Colton would have their honeymoon together as well. At first, the women were unhappy but looking at the brighter s

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
