Mr. Norman shivers and takes unintentionally backward steps. But when he realizes he's just been intimidated by a mere Lucien, he grits his teeth and flushes in embarrassment.It takes him a while to get over his fear, and just to prove to Lucien that he is in control, he slowly slips his hand into his pocket to pull out his phone, but before he can, Lucien suddenly vanishes, and the next second the terrifying screams of Aston fill the air.Mr. Norman turns pale at the terrifying scream of his grandson and looks up to see Lucien's foot on Aston's head."So Norman, I just broke one of your grandson's wrists joints. As a result, he is currently a one-handed man. I hope you love the feeling of having a one-handed man become the next helmsman of your people once you retire because you caused it all with your stubbornness. Meanwhile, what are you waiting for? Go on and call for your men."By the time you are done Aston's head would have been crushed by my foot. Why do I feel you will love
"Jack Ville the grandson of Norma Baskerville the twin brother of Norman Baskerville.""Norma's grandson?""How could that be?""How come we didn't know him?""And why is he only revealing his identity today?" The Villes once more begin murmuring among themselves as they stare intently at the burly man who they believe is claiming to be someone he isn't."What nonsense are you spouting? My twin brother never had a son! That is why I am comfortably the helmsman today! Better tell Lucien who you are before you add to our problems!" Mr. Norman screams glaring daggers at Jack. He had thought the man wanted to go beg Lucien for their sake only for him to begin lying. What nonsense! He wants to pounce on him but he restrains himself and decides to wait till Lucien leaves.For a moment, Jack glares at Mr. Norman with eyes full of fury before returning his gaze to Lucien with soft eyes. "Norma, my grandfather, never trusted his twin, no matter how much he pretended to. He had always known t
Back in the Villes Villa...As Lucien's figure disappears permanently from the Villes Villa Jack's gaze on Mr. Norman darkens and he sneers exuding a terrifying and murderous aura that makes his people shiver and take two steps backward. "Should I call you uncle or murderer?" He directs at Mr. Norman and shakes his head.Mr. Norman opens his mouth to talk but nothing comes out. What will he say?Indeed he had killed his twin because he felt threatened by how much everyone in the family and beyond loved and praised him.Norma was the one who was always mentioned by his father and mother at home, and outside. In every gathering, it was Norma, Norma, Norma. Even when they were gisting about normal things Norma was always mentioned. A day never passed without Norma being mentioned more than ten times.It was just as if no one knew if he existed at that time and it pained him immensely.But on the other hand, without his notice, he brought it all on himself! While his brother worked, went
If the ground can open right now Mr. Norman will gladly enter. He can't believe that the young man who he thought was a nobody will once again become the decider of his fate. Of course, he knows that the young man Lucien Wood will never spare him. He clearly stated it before he left. He suddenly regrets his actions and wishes he can turn the hands of time and do the opposite of all he did right from the moment that the young man Lucien Wood walked in. For the first time in his life, he is regretful of the life he has lived all these years. He wishes he can close his eyes and open them when he was still a young boy so that he can correct his ways and live a better life. But then again, wishes ain't horses and it has been clearly stated in the sands of time that those who kill by the sword shall also die by the sword. The thing is even if Lucien forgave him, he was still gonna have a death sentence because Jack would've still attacked. He lets out a long sigh at the thought and s
"Norman!" "Mr. Norman!" "Helmsman!" "Grandpa!" The Villes although so angry and full of hatred for Mr. Norman several minutes ago become devastated and grief-stricken that without having control over their emotions they get down on their knees and begin crying their hearts out. Blood they say is thicker than wine. Jack also is full of dread. He is well aware that he is the one who forced Mr. Norman to his tragic death and that everything that has transpired to this point is entirely his fault. Although he has always wanted to exact revenge, he doesn't feel pleased at all to see Mr. Norman die in such a horrifying manner. However, after giving it some thought, he realizes that if he had to start all over again, he would have still done the same thing. The reason for this is that even if he had decided to forgive Mr. Norman, he would still have died because Lucien Wood would not have let him off the hook just like that. But anyway, it's not like he would have forgiven him thoug
It doesn't take thirty minutes for what happened to the Villes to go viral.Every news outlet and joint has it on their front page and their lips.Not just are the people talking about the mysterious death of Norman, they are also talking about who the mysterious man that took over all the possessions of the Villes despite the fact that they have a helmsman is. The most trending questions are questions like; "can the man be related to the mysterious tycoon who appeared in the bidding war days ago?""Or is it possible that he is the one?""Also, what did the Villes do to deserve such treatment from him?"Unfortunately, all these are questions they don't have answers to because although others somehow happened to be leaked Jack made sure that no one will ever get to find out who their mysterious head is and what caused what they faced.However, people will always find a way to find out information. Somehow they manage to find out that the Villes had attacked the Pearsons and the next
Lucien chuckles. Indeed, Mr. Corbin's words did surprise him a little but at the same time turned out too funny to his ears that he couldn't suppress the laughter from falling out.He didn't tell Mr. Corbin that he is the sole owner of Shadow Worldwide Company because he wants to hide it...Nah, he has no intention of hiding such a trivial matter from him. He had only done it to pique Mr. Corbin's curiosity and see if he actually uses his head.He has been waiting for the day Mr. Corbin will ask this question and seeing it come sooner than he had expected, he is extremely pleased.He never jokes with smart and resourceful people as they are like a mirror to him that he uses to check himself out."It is indeed as you just stated, Connor. Having a company of this caliber has always been one of my dreams and so not wanting to keep having it only in my fictional thoughts I made it a reality. Yes, I own this company. However, I told you this today because I feel that I can trust you. My i
As Lucien fixes his gaze on Mr. Corbin and notices how his expression keeps changing and changing he shakes his head and sighs. From just a stare at Mr. Corbin's face, he can tell what he is thinking. It is something he has heard a million times. Something his comrades will always ask him at any slightest opportunity they get. The questions had become more heated after he attacked a gang of over a thousand men and killed them all in a single night in a matter of minutes. Not even up to two minutes. The time it took him to kill all of them is comparable to the time it takes to snap a finger. It happened so quickly that as he walked out of the camp of the gangs unscathed, composed, and without a single bead of sweat on his face even those way above him then in the regiment dared not to look him in the face again. Everyone was so terrified of him. The feat he achieved was something not even Tsar Bomba would achieve in such a little time thus it made everyone bewildered. But that a
As Lucien and Juliet walk through the door, into their room, Juliet bolts the door. The next second, she drops her nightgown.Lucien is backing her as he is trying to rid his body of his clothes. So, he is oblivious to this.Taking that as an opportunity, Juliet slowly frees herself of her panties and bra, standing in all her glory. It doesn't take long for her cheeks to flush red. For more than an hour now, she has been so aroused.Her mind couldn't stop flashing in her eyes what she and Lucien were doing before they noticed Brianna. The images got her so aroused. At a point, she began feeling helpless. In the space of two or three hours, she freshened up more than twelve times. Each time the urge was so much, she would rush into the bathroom and pour water on her body so she can calm down.But Lucien is here now. She doesn't know if she can wait any longer. No, she doesn't think she can. She slowly walks up to him at the same time Lucien is removing his pants and hugs him from behi
The ride to Dragon bay is a quick one as in the blink of an eye, the chauffeur pulls over in front of the gigantic gate, which appears to be glowing in the dark, making everywhere look so breathtaking."Wow," Brianna gasps whilst shivering in excitement. As soon as Lucien alights, she quickly follows him. But Lucien halts, causing her to groan. Her curiosity is at its zenith."You can leave now, Bryson, we will speak on the phone. Have a good night.""Alright, Mr. Wood. Have a good night's rest as well," Mr. Ethan replies reverently and taps his chauffeur who had been lost staring at the magnificent buildings behind the gate as if his life depended on them. "Let's go."The chauffeur snaps out of his reverie and nods, revising the car and zooming away.Lucien stares at the duty post of the old man from earlier and sees no one in it. Good, the man left. He then brings out his phone and dials Juliet's number."Honey," Juliet's sweet but tense voice sounds from the end of the line."Mi a
Brianna is perplexed. She furrows her brows as she asks, "How?"At this moment, before Declan can say anything, the car comes to a sudden halt and soft knocks are heard on the two glasses. Lucien unwinds one while Declan unwinds the other. It is the two Jacks and Tyler."You said you would be leaving for Washington, D.C. tomorrow, Mr. Wood, are we coming with you?" Tyler asks."Nope," Lucien doesn't waste a second shaking his head. "I'll be going with Declan alone. This is a family matter. Besides, as you guys know, it is Washington, D.C. that I'm going to this time, not some minor city around Richmond, your powers will be useless over there. Just enjoy your rest.""But this is also Washington, D.C., Mr. Wood, how would you survive over there alone if the Pearsons choose to attack? I heard they are one of the major families there.""It's a family in Washington, D.C., what can they possibly do to Lucien?" Declan retorts smugly. "You guys should just take a chill pill, we will meet you
Brianna is confused at Lucien's response to Declan. Of course, she knows who Ellison is but what she doesn't understand is what Ellison has done that Lucien plans to pay him a visit and seek an explanation. It should not be forgotten that Brianna was kidnapped before Ellison's men arrived to destroy the Mansion earlier so she has no idea that her family Mansion has been destroyed.She can only look at Lucien and asks, "What happened, Lucien? Why are you preparing to visit my dad's half-brother? What did he do this time?""It's like this," for several minutes, despite the fact that he wasn't the one asked, Declan takes his time to explain everything to her.By the time he is done, Brianna is not the only one boiling in rage, Nikki, Tyler, and the two Jacks can't also help the rage surging through them. Just like Brianna, they had no idea something of such happened before they left for East Highland Park. Hah! They are so shocked!"If the Mansion was destroyed, where then are we going
"This is the Douglas family Manor, what does what I'm doing here got to do with you?!" Brooks glares right back at Brianna and retorts coldly. It is safe to say that Brooks and Brianna share the same manner of animosity toward each other. Brooks is the reason the Pearsons ever fell. Brooks is the reason Juliet stabbed herself. Brooks also tried to kill Lucien.There's no how Brianna wouldn't hate someone who did all this. If she has her way, she would have ripped him to threads!On the other hand, Brianna was the only trump card Brooks had to get Lucien into his trap. He had also been salivating fucking her so many times till there was nothing more left to fuck.One could imagine how angry he is that all his plans have failed. And now, the same Brianna is questioning him? He wishes he can rip her useless tongue out of her mouth."Do you guys know each other?!" Seeing the grave animosity between the gent and lady, Ryan can't help but ask."Nah," after a while, Brianna shakes her head.
Muah!Muah!A soft sound echoes as Helen kisses Lucien's feet. The next moment, the Douglases also begin approaching Lucien one by one and kissing his feet. This goes on for more than twenty minutes before it finally comes to an end.Lucien is quite emotional. These people at the very last moment suddenly exalted him to the status of a God in their hearts. It's not something that happens often. A drop of tear slips from his eyes, silently dropping down to the floor."Lucien shed a tear," Declan gasps. The last time he saw Lucien shed a tear was when the young man Ares, told him about his parent's demise. Lucien hardly cries!He looks at the Douglases and says deeply, "You guys are damn lucky! You made Lucien shed a tear. Consider yourselves family from now on! Lucien would protect you all as a lion would his cub, as a father would his child, as a human being would his pupils, and as a God would his creatures!""Thank you, Mr. Wood! Thank you, Master!" The Douglases exclaim, so delig
All her life, Ava has always dreamed to live with and in power. It's not wrong to say she orchestrated everything. Yes, Hugo and Joseph used to be close brothers who were always there for each other. In the past, people who had no idea of their identity often mistook them for twins. This is because they wore identical clothes, went everywhere together, pursued the same type of girls, ate together, often bathed together, and were never seen apart.Even when Joseph became the helmsman, he never abandoned Hugo for one day, he always took him along and often asked for his advice before he made certain decisions for the family. It is safe to say that both of them ruled the family together without anyone knowing.But things began changing the moment Ava came into Hugo's life. She started planting evil seeds in him. Especially, when she found out that he and Joseph actually ruled the family together. At nights, when they were about sleep after lovemaking, she would begin telling him how goo
Brianna's face darkens. "Don't even think about it!" She snaps at Nikki, covers the remaining space between her and Declan, and takes his hand into hers. "He is mine! Go get yours!""I am yours?" Declan raises a brow at her. "Since when did I become yours?!""Ah, Mr. Declan, shouldn't you be happy?!" Helen eyes him up and down. "A few minutes ago, when you attacked Mr. Douglas, you had said he dared touch your woman. Just now, you were also apologizing to Ms. Brianna. From the look of things, you like her! Shouldn't you be happy she is accepting you?!""Uhm," Declan scratches his hair. That really happened. He definitely can't deny it."You really said I'm yours?" Brianna looks into his eyes and asks."I-" Declan nibbles on his lower lip. He actually said that to high his vigor so he would be able to attack Hugo. It's not like Brianna is actually his woman. They only had sex so how can she be his woman? He clearly lied!"I get it. You don't know what we are. But tell me, do you like m
"He has us in mind! See, he planned to pledge allegiance to Mr. Wood once he became the helmsman so he will lead the family to greater heights. He is just like his father. Selfless and always searching for every opportunity to move the family higher."A pity we listened to Hugo and Ava and killed him off with that accident. We even killed his baby mama. He was going to marry her that day and make her a real Douglas, therefore making Ryan a legitimate child! But we-" one of the elders, out of excitement, unconsciously blurts things he shouldn't have.By the time he regains himself and tries to shut his mouth, it's already too late! He had already dropped the bomb!"What?!" From the other end, Ryan who is still on the line, roars and jerks up, scaring the brunettes before him.He had always thought there was something off about the story of his parent's death Hugo told him when he was little. So he didn't think wrong all this time! His instincts never lied! Indeed, there is something of
