18 Years Later

It was a sad day among the Blade families. At the cemetery, Rex Blade's dead body was being lowered into the ground. Only a few sniffs could be heard as everyone kept their emotions buried. The one feeling the impact most was Casper Blade. Having learned a lot from the old man over the years, he was like a father to him.

Worse, Caspian passed away a year ago, after his wife, Kira, died peacefully of old age. He was still strong so most people attributed it to the fact that he could not live without his wife. He slept and did not wake up again. Anna resigned from her violent life and relocated to the countryside with her old husband, living on a ten-acre farm house.

Two years ago, Jenna received news from one of Anna’s maids that she passed on while relaxing in her favorite recliner. Her husband could not take the news, following suit two hours later. That was how Jenna lost both her mother and father on the same day.

    “They never appear at the same place at the same time. I once threatened one of them with a knife to his throat just so the other would appear but it didn’t work, even when I shot him in the arm. Strangely, he appeared the next door without taking a break to nurse his bullet wound. I knew it was the other twin but they kind of outsmarted us along the way and we can’t tell the difference,” Casper sighed in frustration. Caddaric could not believe it, asking, “Did you not threaten to not pay one of them?” Casper chuckled and replied, “Don’t forget that they have the same identity and the same bank account details. They address themselves as, ‘me and myself.’ They even went ahead to tell me that only one of them is needed at the academy so we should not question where the other was. When one was at the pool, the other would be in the kitchen but in the end, they would both know everything that transpired at both places. Even after the gunshot, I realized the other had gotten a gun shot

    “Cal, I have to take care of something in Mexico. I will be back before the graduation,” Cleo said over the phone. Due to the assignment given to them, they were allowed to go out of the academy but not to go to their parents. Cleo was obedient but not the Callahans. “Details,” Cal one, the first of the triplets said sternly. Cleo never knew that her brothers watched her back with every assignment but she was always like an open book to them. “I have a lead on Jim. I can take him down,” Cleo said seriously. She and Claire made an amazing team because they looked fragile but were rather tough and ruthless. Most times when they had to help the Callahans, they would make up to look the same and no one would know which of the Callahans were on the move. “No! Too dangerous,” Cal one disagreed. Jim Correy was skilled at manipulating and eliminating women but his movements have been a clean one with no evidence so far since the bodies of the women were never found. Even when their mansion

    A few minutes earlier, Fusion stepped out of the conference room with the intent of running away. His world-acclaimed assassin bodyguards joined him as soon as he was out of the entrance of the hall in which the meeting was being held. When the doors of the elevator slid open, his face discolored when he saw Cal One and Claire, who looked exactly like Cal Two and Cleo. Same outfits with every single detail in place. “Boss, should we go in?” One of his bodyguards asked, holding the door of the elevator to stop it from moving. Fusion recovered from the shock and stepped inside the elevator with his four bodyguards. It could never be the same people he was running away from, especially when the woman had threatened to cut his dick. Perhaps they were clones of the original there. He asked Cal one, “How did you and your girlfriend get here before me?” “Why should I tell you? We are not friends and don’t forget the last thing I said to you before you left the meeting,” Cal one responded e

    The days flew by quickly and it was a day before the graduation party. A troubling storm was headed in the way of Garnet’s residence. Florence had a secret she could not hold anymore but her mother wanted her to keep it. “Florence, I can’t lose you too. Please don’t tell this to Casper.” “What do you mean you can’t lose me too, Mom? Who did you lose before?” Florence wiped a tear and asked curiously, brushing strands of hair from her face. Sorrow lingered on her mother’s face for a while before she said, “It’s nothing but you don’t need to tell Casper anything.” Florence could not agree with her mother. She was the one meeting different tutors from the academy five times every week, thereby knowing them better than anyone else. “If I don’t do it, the whole family will be affected. Don’t forget about what happened to the Wreaths. Grandpa said we should always be honest.” “So, you think he would clap for you for telling him that you slept with a man whose name you don’t know after

  • Sold and Pregnant for the cold-hearted Billionaire   Chapter 162 - Grandpa, that is him!

    The day of Casper’s birthday party slash graduation party for his grandchildren was filled with expectation. The event held the usual classiness of the Blades. Guests, as well as the media were beginning to arrive. Since Caddaric did not intend to hand over the management of Blade Towers to the Callahans immediately, he deemed it fit to announce their presence to the world at the party, with the spelt-out conditions attached. The tables and sitting arrangements were done according to families. The Blades sat together on a long table including the seniors. The Garnets and their women sat on a long table as well. Casper had forbidden single ladies from elsewhere from coming, unless they were coming with their boyfriends or fiancé’s or were escorts. It was the only way for the new generation to find their brides from the Garnet family maidens. Because of Florence, he moved his immediate family to another table with the excuse of the people being too many on it. He allowed Florence to s

    “Are you sure about what you are saying?” Casper asked seriously, filled with complicated emotions. If this was true, then was it fate for one of the Callahans to have already met his arranged bride under a different circumstance? Jenna was busy with her best friends, Peggy and Kate, not giving attention to her husband and Florence. “Grandpa, he is the man I saw when I woke up,” Florence insisted, whilst staring at Cal two. She was not privy to the news and did not know his evil side but that was the man she saw on the bed. “He is my grandson so just relax and pretend that you don’t know him. Can you do that?” Casper asked seriously. He wanted to see Cal’s reaction if he sees Florence but if he’s indeed the one who slept with her, then he’d also have a problem with Casper since Florence was either drunk, or drugged by then. Any man who took advantage of a vulnerable woman was a coward and Casper would make sure that either of the Callahans got punished for it.

    “Cleo, what is he talking about?” Cal broke from the shock and asked, while Casper warned the media to stay away. He indeed assigned Jim Correy to the team knowing that the Callahans would take care of him, never expecting it to be another bloody love story. Jim’s presence was a threat to every woman at the party and Casper was not liking it. “This is not how I wanted to announce it but it already happened so yes, Jim and I plan on getting married,” Cleo tried to sound believable, now that the cat was out of the bag. She also knew it was time to up her game but how could her family allow it? “Impossible. I will not allow it,” Caddaric said coldly. His only daughter to be married to a man whose days were numbered? Never. “Cal,” Cleo pleadingly stared at her brother. He was the only one who would be able to override the decisions of Casper and Caddaric but even Cal was not up for this. Cleo never kept to her side of the bargain, never telling Cal how things went so how could she hit h

    “We shall not proceed and you shall not have your wristwatch back until your friend is here,” Casper said seriously after all parties took seats on a sofa around a small center table in one of the sophisticated hotel rooms. Cal one was unmoved, knowing that his work depended on that wristwatch. He had searched and searched, not until he heard Cal two’s discussion earlier with Florence over the special earpiece about the wristwatch, thereby requesting a switch, which was delayed because of Cleo and Jim. He had not told Cal two about that night because of the guilt which lay largely in his heart, the fact that he lost control, which was very unusual of him. “If I don’t have it, I can’t back up Cleo.” “How did you lose it? I mean, what did you do to her?” Casper asked directly. Cal one remained stoic but guilt laid heavily on his heart. He also found relief because he could make things right. It was strange how he felt comfortable around Florence. Something that never happened when he

    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
