Skylands Hotel

After stepping down from the Bentley Continental, Chelsea walked gently and elegantly towards the entrance of the hotel. She walked into the reception hall and immediately made her way to the elevator.

"Hey, Madam!" she heard a familiar voice call and instantly knew she was the one being called. She stopped in her tracks and turned around. It was Beatrice Chadwell, the annoying manager of Skylands Hotel.

"Hello there" she replied with an expressionless face.

"I take it you're here to see Mr. Omar" Beatrice said in a defiant and uncaring tone. She was definitely not concerned with Chelsea's lack of expression.

This slightly pissed Chelsea off. But she had to maintain her cool.

"Yes. Can I go see him? I already know my way to the private bar" she replied.

"I just wanted to make sure you still remember. It would be bad if you got lost and started wandering about. You might make the other clients uncomfortable" Beatrice said.

Chelsea could clearly see this woman was

    Chelsea still maintained her calm composure. Her blank facial expression gave off no indications of tension or panic. She kept a relaxed and unnerved demeanor with her eyes fixed on Omar. Her lips were straight and void of any expression. Of course that was all behind the mask. In her head, her thoughts were already spiraling out of control. She was already considering random routes to take to get out of this situation but none seemed to appeal to her. The more she kept listening as Omar rambled on, the more agitated she became and wanted to react. But she couldn't. Maybe not yet. Omar chuckled. "Don't worry, there's no need to act calm and collected. I can see through all your facade now, Ms. Landore. I've already had everything figured out. And I've got enough evidences as well. So just hear me out completely and then we can re-evaluate the business deal again" he said with a smirk that Chelsea found rather agitating. He continued. "So after I put two and two together, I was able

    Chelsea smiled for the first time. She immediately switched places and took hold of Omar's hands. She noticed his eyes light up a bit as the move was unexpected. That was her specialty, her unpredictability. And she was going to show him the true Chelsea Landore. The one his investigation could never show him. "That's exactly what I've been waiting for" she said. He was a bit confused. It was written all over his eyes. Then he regained his confidence. "You're not playing with me, are you?" he said. She chuckled. "I know it sounds ironic but, Omar, I had already fallen for you way before you even gave me a drink. From the first time I saw you back at Hakeem's suite in The Imperial Place, I immediately felt a tinge in my heart that you were a perfect young man. And I'm not one to mince words. "I've been with men, a lot of them. So I know what a perfect man for me should be like. And you've just proven that fact. The fact that you were able to deduce my true identity and even my affil

    Chelsea waited inside the elevator till it dinged and the doors slid open. She gently walked out, elegantly taking her steps towards the exit of the hotel. "Hope you had a great stay, Madam" she heard a familiar voice and turned back. It wasn't Beatrice. "Hey there, Laura" she greeted the young, smart-looking and elegant lady who reminded her much of her younger self. "Good day, Miss Raven" Laura replied with a warm smile. "How are you doing?" Chelsea asked. "I'm pretty fine. I was just going to see the General Manager and I spotted you on your way out" Laura replied. "Oh, how kind of you. I'm in a bit of a hurry now, so I'll take my leave" Chelsea replied, smiling as best as she could under her persona. "Alright, Madam. Have a great day" the young lady said and waved her goodbye. Chelsea turned around and continued heading for the exit. She felt a bit weird for feeling so calm after killing someone. Maybe she was getting used to taking lives. Was this what Joyce was telling

    Chelsea smiled as she played with the hairs on Dylan's chest. They were on the bed. They had just finished bathing together and decided to have some rest. Her head rested on his abdomen while she twirled and ran circles on his chest. He smiled at intervals, his eyes fixed on her innocent looking face as she played her rounds. Her fingers moved apart and took hold of his nipples. She gently played with them, laughing softly as she felt his heartbeat slightly increase. She was getting the reaction she wanted and it greatly pleased her. But deep down she knew where it would lead to if she played too far. So she kept her teasing to a minimum. "What are you doing?" he gently asked her, still smiling at her. She chuckled. Then she changed her expression into one of ignorance. "What am I doing? I'm just playing with you" she replied. He scoffed. "You and I both know where you're going with this" he continued, eyeing her skeptically. She pouted her lips. "I don't know what you're talking

    Dylan heard his phone ring and slid across to pick up the call. "Vic" he gently said into the phone. "Pope. I think we've got a lead on who the culprit might be" Victor said from the other end. Dylan smirked. "Fill me in" he replied and walked further away from where he stood. He headed towards the study. Victor continued. "We noticed someone with a mask follow you from Golden Petals Hotel but before we could close in on him, he disappeared" he reported. Dylan exhaled. "That's still as good as nothing. I need a face and a name. Or a rough sketch at least" he replied, gently caressing his glabella. "That's it. We've been able to establish that this person follows you. Or that he has a pretty good knowledge of your destinations. So the culprit must be someone who can buy information from the hotel managers" Victor said. Dylan chuckled. "No. Not the managers. The reservations department" he replied. "In that case, it's very likely that he would show up at my next location" he said

    Dylan and Chelsea laughed and discussed as they ate and drank, occasionally having their little disagreements and fights until one conceded to the other, of course always Dylan. He knew Chelsea would never accept defeat. So if he didn't, the argument would continue. He wasn't ready for that. After much pleasant talks and exchange of passionate words, Dylan felt it was time to do the deed. If he didn't do it now, the date would drag on for long and Chelsea would grow even more suspicious. He had to quell her curiosity now while still stalling for time so the assassin would make his move. Just as he reached into his inner coat pocket, they heard a loud sound. Bang! It was a gun shot. If Dylan heard well, it was a sniper. That was it! The assassin had taken the bait. He stood up abruptly, much to the confusion of Chelsea. His hand dropped the ring case and took hold of his phone instead. He brought it out and immediately dialed Victor. "Vic" he spoke into the phone. "Already on it,

    "What did you say?" Dylan's pupils were dilated. Victor immediately turned around and saw Dylan already up from his sit. He had grabbed Nick by the neck, lifting him and shaking him vehemently. "What did you damn say, Nick?!" Dylan screamed. Nick was still dejected. His face still dropped downwards everytime Dylan shook him. He couldn't look Dylan in the eyes. He couldn't look the boss he had betrayed in the eyes. "It's the truth, Pope. Madam Clara was the one who hired us" he replied quietly. Dylan gritted his teeth. He couldn't believe his ears. The same woman he had once called his wife had sent an assassin to kill him. The same woman who had born his child. It sounded rather inconceivable to him. True, he was dark and bloody. He had done many despicable things to people. But this one outdid him. To think that Clara would go this far. And Nick just said "us". There were more? "Us?" he gently asked, his teeth still gritting against each other. "How many of you did she hire?"

    Clara opened her eyes and met Dylan's cold stare. She could see the steam from the nose if the pistol. Her ears still whirred a little. She turned slowly and saw a hole in the space beside he head on the chair she sat on. A bullet was embedded in it. A real bullet! He had deliberately missed her head. Even so, this was unexpected. Did he really just shoot at her? "Is that supposed to scare me?" she mustered up the courage to say. Dylan smiled. "It wasn't meant to scare you. It was simply meant to warn you. My patience is simply a thread. And like all threads, it runs out. I'd hate for you to be the person who makes the last pull" he said calmly. He was so calm that it sounded too dark and evil. Clara knew it was best not to provoke him further. She was already aware that he didn't love her anymore. All he had for her was just out of regard for her being Derek's biological mother. That aside, she was just like any other lady in his eyes. She knew how bad he was when he snapped. Sh

    Dylan got to the mansion alighted the Urus. His entire clothing was roughed up and covered in blood. He looked around and noticed the Bentley Continental missing. He immediately had a bad feeling and dashed inside the mansion. None of the guards asked him any questions. This made him even more worried. He got to Chelsea's room and opened the door without knocking. It was empty. He found the safe open and empty as well. His heart began racing. He dashed to his room but he didn't see her in there either. He felt his knees getting weak. He checked the study and all then rooms on the down floor but he didn't find her inside any. He got upstairs and checked the accessible rooms and halls in the mansion but still nothing. "Chelsea!" he yelled. His voice echoed throughout the entire hallway, back and forth. There was no response. "Chelsea!" "Chelsea!!" "Chelsea!!!" Dylan slowly came down from the steps. He got to the base of the steps and sat down on the last step. His face was deje

    Chelsea shuddered on hearing his name. Was this fate playing games with her? Just when she had finally gotten a shot at a happy life. Just when she had decided to start anew. Now her past had come to haunt her future. Why was life cruel? Dylan continued. "He just attacked one of my warehouses. He has challenged me to come face him or he'll destroy my name with the evidence and proof he has on me. I never expected him to stoop so low but I guess Ceaza has always been a scumbag. "I've already made arrangements for Joyce and Derek to be taken to a safehouse. You'll be safer here. I'll be going to face him off at the warehouse now" he added. "Why are you going? It's obvious he just wants to kill you. Why not send someone else? You have capable hands" Chelsea fired. Dylan smiled. "No. This is a personal battle that started years ago. I have to finish it myself" he replied. "I don't want anything happening to you, Dylan. Please don't go?" Chelsea begged. Her eyes became teary. She trul

    Chelsea was dumbstruck. She had been expecting it but it still came as a shock to her. There he was, Dylan Cross, the King of Miami, the kingpin of the most notorious mafia cartel, the leading businessman in the city, on one of his knees, asking for her hand in marriage. It all seemed so surreal to her. She was stuck in a blur that she didn't know when time flew by. She returned to reality and saw Dylan still positioned on one knee, his hands holding out the box that contained the shiny diamond ring in it. He was patiently waiting for her answer. She was still contemplating. Was this what she really wanted? Was this really her way out from the life she had been living? To be a wife and mother now? Her life events flashed before her eyes. It was a big decision. One that would change her life forever. She had to make the right choice. As she was still thinking about it, she heard a familiar voice behind her and turned. "Aunty Chelsea!" It was Derek. He wore the same suit as his fath

    Decorations were at their most glamorous. The lighting, the music and every aspect of the hall depicted a billionaire's taste. The guests had already started arriving. And true to Dylan's words, they were really the most prominent and powerful people in the society. Business tycoons, politicians, powerful billionaire families, and people of equal calibre were in attendance. In the garage, there were no cars less than the best of the best. Most cars there were even the only pieces ever produced. Customized and special editions. Chelsea stood from the balcony above as she observed the guests. She had her hair done at the last hour and put on her special dress that Dylan had imported without her even knowing. It was a white gown with designs of gold on it. She didn't even know when he planned and organized everything without her having a hint. What even surprised her more was the hall. She never knew the mansion had such an enormous hall within it. There were places she hadn't explored

    Chapter 144 - An Introductory Party Two Months Later Dylan and Chelsea were now a public item. The news, social and other media carried it in droves. It was a blast. Different stories rose up. Several hypothesis were raised and conclusions drawn. It was a highlight for the city of Miami and Florida at large. Both the public society and the underground world were taken by surprise. They went to parties together. They shopped and dined together. They went on trips together. They practically did everything a couple did together. Always holding hands as they walked. They shared kisses in public. Even on interviews, Dylan always mentioned her name and called her his partner. There was never a shortage of pictures and clips on the media. The news also transcended the borders of Miami, Florida and America, reaching far across the globe. Dylan's cell and inboxes were flooded with calls and texts from both old acquaintances and new. Some were subtle with their questions while others went st

    Inside The Hades Room Dylan held Clara's body as it gradually turned cold. Her eyes still stared at him with pure hate and intense resentment. He gradually dropped to his knees, his eyes fixed on the face of his ex-wife. She was beautiful, there wasn't a doubt about that. She had to be beautiful to be Dylan Cross's wife of course. But she also had a darkness in her that was too contaminating, it eroded her beauty. He couldn't quite understand why she hated him so much. People tend to accept society as it is and live with it. But she had to go out of her way to hate him and want him dead. Not that it was possible anymore. But still, she was once his wife. "But... you could have at least shot her in the leg. You could have rendered her immobile. You didn't have to kill her, Victor" Dylan said gently. It was plainly obvious he didn't didn't her dead. Maybe he still had a soft spot for her. "I'm sorry Pope. But I doubted that would have stopped her. I'd rather prefer you lose your ex-
