Casper’s gaze swept towards Caddaric. The icy air emitted from Caddaric convinced Casper about what he suspected all along. Ariana on the other hand tensed up under Sebastian’s gaze. Marshall was calm, knowing that Sebastian was already a dead man. The Blades have always been possessive. Jenna was having a bad feeling about this. Knowing her husband, she could foretell that Caddaric would do something terrible for anyone having eyes on the woman he wanted. It runs in the blood of the Blades. Casper caught the change in his son, which most people hadn’t except those who knew about Ariana. Miranda was getting excited at this moment. “Mum, do you think Mr. Blade will honor the Don’s request? That is the woman I saw in Caddaric’s house.” “I think you shouldn’t talk about this anymore,” Donna advised in a hushed tone. She was afraid of the past repeating itself but more so, the Wreaths shouldn’t know about this. “Did she tell you that she is single?” Casper asked. Knowing that Sebasti
Don Vito wasn’t remorseful but angry about the fact that his well-laid-out plan for decades had been exposed within seconds. Who was the damn hacker? Caddaric had refused to reveal his identity and Vito knew that Casper was the epitome of evil. He wasn’t so concerned about Caddaric because he never saw him in action. His initial plan was flawless. To play the game well and win Cassandra’s hand in marriage. When he was done cutting her body into pieces, he would send the remains to Casper and disappear into the shadows. Casper would never find him to take revenge and live with the pain, just as Vito had lived with the pain of losing his father all these years. Right now, he knew he wasn’t going to leave the party alive but neither was he willing to die alone. He had to take something dear to Casper and Jenna with him. Lunging forward, he circled his arms around Cassandra’s neck at the same time he pulled a gun from his suit pocket and pressed it to her head. Allan jumped over his tab
Allan turned to face Casper and smiled a little. Left to him alone, he wanted to say that he was a software developer but Caddaric spoke from his side, “Dad, Allan works for me so I am responsible for him.” Caddaric didn’t want Allan to tell Casper what he did for a living. The middle–aged man was smart and would piece everything together. It wouldn’t be long before he’d realize that Allan was a hacker and even link him to Invisible. Casper wasn’t a fool. “Then it shouldn’t be hard for you to tell me how he makes his billions,” Casper asked Caddaric suspiciously. Jenna’s words that he was behaving as his grandpa rang in his mind because right now, he felt like his son was trying to outsmart him the way he did that old man. “I can tell you but not in front of all these people,” Caddaric said calmly but Casper didn’t agree. People’s life secrets were exposed just like that and the work Allan does couldn’t be revealed to all? So tricky. Casper wasn’t going to allow it. “Your hacker ca
Jenna had seen the changes in her son and could tell that he was conflicted. Deep down in her heart, she wanted him to admit the love he felt for the woman he kept staring at. She knew that Caddaric felt nothing for Miranda but to follow the Blade tradition would only bring him misery. The Blade seniors found it interesting. They had no idea that Caddaric had eyes for another woman since he had declared even before graduating that he was going to marry Miranda. Juliet was feeling terrible for Ariana and thought it wise to not say anything, whether good or bad. Marshall and Anna had faith in their grandson and knew that he would make the right decision. Caddaric was indeed conflicted. Ariana’s condition was in a vegetable state and he had to make sure to not upset her. However, he also didn’t want to let his father win. As for the Wreaths, he just hadn’t had time for them. With the information sent to him concerning Miranda from the detective he sent to spy on her, he recalled that h
Ariana was calm and in contrast to the shocked expressions on the faces of those who knew her, she maintained a smile that refused to crack. Her head was still lifted high as Juliet asked, “Were you aware that he was going to marry her?” “No. But he told me to trust him,” Ariana said confidently. She didn’t know what Caddaric was doing but if the only support he needed from her was her trust, she wasn’t going to let it waver, and neither would she be shaken by the storm. Juliet was still perplexed. Perhaps Ariana didn’t know so she asked her, “There is no divorce among the Blades so what are you talking about?” Ariana stiffened slightly but recalling the request Caddaric said he was going to grant after the party, she had undying hope and retorted, “Caddaric is a man of his word. If he says to trust him, then he has a plan so, smile, and enjoy the party.” Anna and Marshall were uncomfortable with the news, especially Marshall who loathed the Wreaths so much. He wondered whether C
“Yes,” Ariana’s voice was almost a whisper but Casper heard it. He stiffened but didn’t pull away from her. “For my son?” There was no change in the tempo of his voice, which made Ariana confused. It was Caddaric’s duty to inform his father but not her. Yet no matter how she looked at it, she wasn’t brave enough to lie to Casper Blade. “Yes.” yCasper was relieved. It seemed that the heavens were on his side after all. He would never allow Caddaric to go ahead with the wedding. Not when he had a pregnant girlfriend. Whereas, he also thought about something and asked, “Then why do you watch him get married to another woman?” Ariana was grateful that the devil wasn’t upset and neither found her unworthy to carry his grandchild. He seemed to rather be on her side. Nevertheless, Ariana would never give Caddaric away. “He loves me and I know that he won’t hurt me. I trust him,” she said calmly. For the first time, Casper was jealous of his son’s choice of a woman. If only Jenna had tru
Junior was holding on to the promise Ariana made before they parted, but Caddaric had told him that Cassandra was there as well so he wanted to dance with both of them but used Ariana’s promise as the entry point. A small boy with a big sense indeed.Casper was quite amazed by the interesting intrusion. The boy reminded him of some of the children at the training academy but his confidence and resilience reminded him of the young Caddaric before he realized that the boy had come with Caddaric since the man stood a little distance away. He hadn’t changed and came back with a cute-looking boy. Casper shook his head at the thought before asking the young man who was walking towards him from the entrance.“Young man, what is your name?” Junior stretched his hand confidently towards Casper for a handshake and Casper honored it. How could he refuse such a wonderful creation?“Junior, and that is my godfather,” he pointed at Caddaric. Caddaric wanted to grant Junior’s wish and went to bring
Casper was unhappy but it didn’t show in his countenance. His eyes roamed the nearly empty hall if not for the table of the Blades seniors, Wreaths, and those Caddaric had brought along. The media was already reporting the news with full enthusiasm but that wasn’t Casper’s concern at the moment.“Don Salvatore isn’t my daughter worth it,” Casper asked calmly. Salvatore was sweating. If he offended this man, who knew what he and his evil son would do to him? From the revelation of the masked man, everyone who thought Casper was a demon sympathized with him because he was made that way by his grandfather. But for Caddaric who had been operating for over a decade, it seemed that he carried evil from his mother’s womb.“Don’t get me wrong, Mr. Blade. Your daughter is worth everything but I’m just realizing that Caddaric is the masked man. How can I pin his back to the ground? It’s impossible.” Salvatore was ready to face Caddaric because he didn’t know his skills by then. Now that he know
