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
Caddaric wanted to intervene but then again, Allan was the only contender. He turned around, sighed, and said, “I'll wait for you by the car.”Allan nodded his head and Casper beckoned Allan to follow him. Just a little distance away, Casper turned to face Allan.“What do you do for a living?” He asked calmly, his expression blank. Allan didn’t want to lie to his supposed father-in-law but if Caddaric kept it from his father, then who was he to tell it?“Just as Caddaric said, I work for him for now but if you want details of my abilities, I will give you when I can pin his back to the ground,” he said politely. That is, he had respectfully refused to give the details since he wasn’t sure whether he would be able to win against Caddaric. Casper didn’t dwell on it much because he had planned to pull a few strings to not let Allan marry Cassandra. A guy who infiltrated the Blade Towers was a criminal who shouldn’t have been given a chance.“When do you want to join the academy?” He aske
“I’m sorry Hans, but you have to move on.” Miranda’s unfeeling words stabbed Hansel and he instantly pulled away, looking at her with tear-filled eyes and shock. There was no remorse on her face nor in her tone. Miranda was trained to handle a man who didn’t show emotions. So Hansel breaking down because he was human, she found it irritating. She didn’t know how to comfort a crybaby and couldn’t understand exactly what Hansel was feeling. To be able to marry a Blade family member through an arranged marriage, one had to be unfeeling and Miranda wasn’t any different. Whereas Hansel felt as if he was hearing the most painful words. When Miranda broke up with him before and returned, he thought things were going to be better but this was more throbbing. He expected her to stand and fight for their love but not to give up like it meant nothing to her. “You are going to marry him?” He asked as if he didn’t know who he was talking to anymore. Miranda wasn’t
“Are you sure you don’t want to eat anymore? If you want anything else, I can make it for you,” Caddaric said and asked Ariana, who was feeling like a whale for having eaten so much. Ariana gulped down the freshly squeezed orange juice he made for dessert due to her nausea. The acidity of the juice helped to curb it. Funny enough, whiles he was concerned about her well-being, her mind wandered off to a different world.“Anything?” Ariana asked, drooling over his exposed abs in the singlet he wore. He was in his boxer shorts and that well-sculpted body of his was all Ariana wanted to feast on. She wondered about the physical exercise that must have earned him such a great physique. He had a few scars but proudly showed them off. He was a fighter, a warrior, and an assassin before he became a CEO so scars were nothing to him. He liked that she enjoyed what he made her and wanted to give her more.“Anything for you, Ari,” he closed the distance between them after dropping the unwashed pl
“Where is doctor…” Before Caddaric could mention the name of the doctor he was looking for, the new one interrupted,“She has an emergency and will be gone for a few months. My name is…” Caddaric’s phone beeped and he checked it. It was a message from Allan. ‘If your instinct doesn’t feel right about anyone, don’t ignore it.’Caddaric’s unease increased as he read the message. First of all, how did this doctor know the exact one he was looking for when he hadn’t mentioned her name? She wasn’t the only gynae in this hospital. He dialed the doctor’s number but a robotic voice responded, ‘the number you have dialed is either switched off or out of coverage area.’Caddaric's unease increased. He informed the doctor two hours ago that he'd be here and she said she was going to be there. He dialed Allan’s number after ending the call to the doctor but was met with an automated text message, ‘I’m at the Blades’ academy. Sorry, I can’t answer calls.’ Caddaric knew the no-phone call rules at t
From Ariana's experience with Casper last night, she was no longer afraid of him like before but felt it odd, especially knowing that she was going to expose some intimate parts depending on the kind of checks to be carried. Ariana didn’t like the idea.“Why can’t you take me?” She asked Caddaric, frowning a little. She was beginning to fear that the revelation of his identity had made her a target because she was always seen with him but Caddaric’s response was least expected.“Truth be told, we are not supposed to sleep with a woman we aren’t married to so if I take you to the hospital myself, the Blades will begin to investigate our relationship. I will eventually take the punishment but there are things I need to do first,” Caddaric explained. Casper escaped the punishment of getting Jenna pregnant out of wedlock by outsmarting his grandfather, and pinning the blame on him when he introduced a rule of testing his sexuality, knowing that Casper didn’t like women
Ariana was nervous when they got to the doctor’s office. Casper noticed it and tried ways to calm her. “It’s just like every normal hospital but we have more equipment,” he explained before directing her eyes roaming around the room to the woman in front of them. “Meet Doctor, Rosaline Blade. She took care of my wife throughout her time of pregnancy,” he said calmly, exuding the air of a father. What he didn't add was the fact that she was also a cousin.Ariana looked in the direction of the doctor, who looked like Cassandra but had eyes as dark as Casper’s. She looked older, above forty and she wondered why they looked alike. “Nice meeting you ma’am,” Ariana said to the doctor. “Same here,” the woman had a kind smile on her face said, making Ariana loosen up. Rosaline turned to Casper and said, “Mr. Blade, you know that I am only assigned to pregnant women.” Since she couldn’t ask who Ariana was to Casper directly, she used this approach. “Tha
Hunter was about to leave the room due to the temperature, which had risen so badly when Casper said coldly, “Get Grandpa Rex. I’m tired of this shit.” Hunter froze instantly. It meant that Casper was extremely sore to give up on his daughter and hand her over to the Blades. Caddaric knew that his father was very hard but also loved them. He was also a Senior and could appeal on their behalf for whatever punishments were to be meted out. Caddaric would rather have his father handle this than the other seniors. Rex was good but he would involve the other seniors because he was now old. Those other seniors were deadly, looking for ways to even overthrow Caddaric, if not for Casper. “Dad please, there are better ways around this,” Caddaric pleaded on Cassandra’s behalf but Casper was too angered. “Any suggestions?” As Casper asked, the lights dimmed instantly. Hunter had seen him removing his sunglasses, doing the needful. If Casper removed his sunglasses,

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
