Let the games begin!
“Like I said I'm making improvements, we will have Pandora's location soon. If you trust me, then cancel the emergency meeting.” Mr.B said over the phone angrily. He was trying to control his anger but it was of no use to him. He has not attended the last emergency meeting that has been held, and he has sent his secretary,Eve, to represent him and now another meeting has been called. This time he won't be able to avoid it, because she was going to be there. The Godmother. He didn't need anyone to tell him that his mistakes had been reported to the headquarters despite his pleading for more time. He didn't need anyone to tell him who had ratted him out to the Godmother, Mr.H has always admired his position, a whole lot of people have admired his positions for so long that he's not surprised that this was an excuse to take his position from him. “This is an order,Mr.B. Your presence is highly needed at the headquarters tomorrow.” The chief secretary said over the phone and didn't let
It was only a matter of time before the Agency or the Jade Dragons find out that she's here, been questioned and on the verge of being framed for Valerie's fake death.She took back her words about the Sheriff, he knew exactly what he's doing and doesn't care if his family gets hurt in the long run. That's his business to take care of, the only thing that mattered is that she warned him from the very beginning, but it seemed like he valued his work and position more than his family.She looked around the questioning room that she was in, before her eyes settled on the handcuff on her hand as she was confused on which step to take to get out of this situation.Vanessa knew that she could easily get out of these handcuffs, yet, she sat still on the chair while facing Mr. Harris's partner, who didn't look like he's got the guts for this job one bit.He couldn't even properly keep eye contact with her for a good minute, without lowering it down. Was it fear that she saw in his eyes?Well,
If there was one thing that Vanessa remembered while being with Ares, it was the part where he bragged about his brother. He has explained and talked about Donovan like he's Captain America. Well to him and not to the others, because Donovan is nothing but the devil's incarnate, the body count of many lives that has gone to waste because of him was uncountable. Even as she had gone through her own personal review, about the whole family when she was assigned the task of killing Ares. She couldn't help but shudder at what she had discovered about him. While Ares is the sweet loving brother, Donovan is the devil who walked the nights, the kind that mothers warned their daughters to stay clear off. Right now as she was looking at his face, into his eyes she couldn't help but feel connected with him. It was psychopath against psychopath , but Donovan was more than that. “Fuck me!” She cussed before hiding against the side of a car as gunshots were being fired her way by Donovan's men.
“Take care of yourself, Pumpkin. Call me if you need anything.” Mr.Salvaltore told his granddaughter after she came down from the car, when they reached the family house.Donovan has been too busy to take her to go see Ares' body, it was too hard for her to believe that her brother was dead. Although, no one has really opened up about what has happened to him but she knew that it was no normal death.Ares has been caught in between the crossfire between their family and their enemies, that's the only reason that she could come up with. Not even her grandfather could tell her anything about it, and that's why she didn't want to be back here, to be around them.They treated her like some kid who didn't know her rights or wrong. It was not going to take much from her if not her tears, anger and curses at the bastard that did that to him. Yet, they didn't tell her anything and the only explanation for that was their silly excuse to protect her.But she could protect herself. As much as sh
Vanessa stayed until it was late in the night outside the pharmacy, as she took note of everyone that was coming in and out of the store. Everyone who passed her by would look at her just to be sure that she wasn't mad.Well, she didn't actually blame them because she looked like she had just survived a storm, thanks to Donovan and Mr.B.She was more pissed off at the agency for pulling such a fast one on her, truly she has finally gotten to know her place in their lives. At first, she didn't want to release that information, the one that they have been fighting tooth and nail to get their hands on to the public.But they just gave her more reasons why she should do that. But firstly, she needs to get the bullet out of her shoulder. She might have won against them all in this round, but Donovan was a sharp shooter.She was losing a lot of blood, and time didn't seem to be on her side which gave her no choice but to enter the store.She has floated to the river bank to the area that d
Warning!!Mature contents!“I'm sorry ma, but you are not allowed inside.” Anastasia glared at the guards that stopped her from driving into her fiance's penthouse. She has called home only to receive the information that he wasn't at the main building, which she put efforts through Marco and he sent her this address.Marco didn't put up a fight when she asked about where Donovan was, so, how dare these petty guards try to stop her from seeing her husband?“Do you have a death wish? Step aside.”She ordered, looking at their faces to remember it, because this will be the last day that they will ever get to see.She's been calling Donovan for the past three days and he's been avoiding her. His father has invited her to attend the burial that will be held in two days time, yet, she hasn't seen nor heard from Donovan.He was just showing her her place in his life, but it didn't matter to Anastasia. As long as she gets to carry his name and kids that's all she needs from him. She knew exa
“Dad!” Jolene called after sliding open the hospital ward to see him standing over the mirror to look at the bandage around his head. She ran into his arms and cried tears of relief, he's okay. After watching the news this morning, after her mom had refused to tell her the reason for rushing out of the house like she did last night, she nearly went crazy at the thought of her father being among those who died. The news channels were ruling out what had happened as a gang fight. No official news has been made yet from the police department, and Vanessa's picture has been circulating around the internet as the number one suspect. “Pumpkin, what…” Mr.Harris asked, before she started throwing light punches at his chest not caring that he was not feeling okay. “You scared me. Why did you tell Mom not to tell me anything about what happened?” She cried, before she heard her mother call for her. Mr.Harris looked at her and gave her a sign that it was okay. He wasn't even the one that cal
Mr.B was seated facing the crowd as every eye was settled on him and him only. Looks of disappointment evident on their faces which didn't bother him anymore. Hence, the only thing he was waiting for was to get demoted as Mr H would glance his way often and whisper to his set of people who were clearly against him.After coming back yesterday with scratches on his faces, with Draco who was the only surviving victim out of the ten men, the men he took to go get Vanessa.They all came back dead except Draco who is being treated for major injuries. Mr.B blamed himself for hesitating in the first place, if he had gunned down Pandora at that moment he had the opportunity, the mocking smirk Mr.H had in his face wouldn't be there anymore.The motherfucker thought that he had no idea that he liked Pandora, no, he had something going on with her, and the young lady had to sort out for help through him when she couldn't handle him.He has broken a rule in the organization, and is pretending l
Donovan stood at the edge of the bed with a cigarette in his hand, staring at his baby girl while she slept.He was not able to sleep not after he had way too many problems that needed his attention.He didn't later punish Valerie from trying to run away, since he figured out that he’s too hard on her, and that’s why she’s trying to run from him.He could avoid her running away from him, if he was too soft on her. But he wasn’t, all this time he just forced her to do what he wanted without thinking of what she might want. At first, her opinion didn’t matter to him since her only part to play was to be submissive to him.Yet, despite being hard on her and using the drugs the doctor has given to him. He realized that he could have an easier approach about keeping her to him, if he was a gentleman for her.He didn't know how he can do that. Hence, his entire life wasn’t filled with love, he only loved and treated her the way he understood but was wrong. But now he regrets it all.He wants
Alberto stepped out of his car the moment he arrived at his house, only to find out that he wasn’t alone. He felt a cold substance at the back of his head, before he heard a click then an unfamiliar voice.“I wouldn't do that if i were you.” The intruder said, which halted him from bringing out his gun from his back, when he saw two, three more men come out of his penthouse pointing guns at him.Then Angelo showed his face which made him raise his brow in question, since he didn't know what sort of welcome back was that, until it all clicked together for him.Donovan has told him about what the assassin did to Marco, that wouldn’t guarantee the ill treatment he was receiving now. Unless..He looked up at Angelo to see that there was no single smile on his face, if anything the look on his face reminded him of his when he got the call from the assassin that she has his son.Maria told him about his relationship with her?He couldn't be so sure yet. So, he acted like he didn't have any
“You shouldn’t have come in yet. The boss has given you enough rest time, Scott.” Paul said the moment he walked into the office to find Detective Harris already arranging his desk.He didn't look like he was the same person that was in coma for two weeks, nor did he look like he still needed a rest from what had gone on. But yet, he should have stayed at home until his leave was over. But who was he to tell Scott Harris what to do?“Thanks for the concern, but I’m done staying at home like I’m some pregnant chick. Moreover, there’s still a lot to be done like catching Donovan Castillo and Vanessa Blackfield.”Detective Harris said, listing everything that needed to be done.No!That he needed to do, and that was where the problem was. This was the same attitude that he exhibited that made him nearly lose his life. Detective Harris has made it his priority that he doesn’t care if he gets hurt, all he wants is to get the Castillo family behind bars.Which was something that he knew even
The door to the warehouse was opened and Marco was forced to raise his head up, as a result of the tiredness that came as a result of being beaten to a pulp. The room was a little bit dark, yet he still need to know who exactly had decided to come see him after leaving him thirsty, to the point that he will do anything just to have a cup of water.Yet, he tried to be strong, because he knew that Donovan was coming for him.Although he knew that by now Donovan would have been able to track his location, he didn’t raise his hope high that he would be willing to give up Valerie. The man was totally in love with her, and he understood the pain that will come if he does what Vanessa wants.Since he was locked up after taken a good beating by Vanessa’s men, who had done everything possible for him to give out the location of where exactly Donovan was keeping Valerie.All he could think of was Jolene.He had no idea if he will be walking out of this alive, but if he wasn’t, all he wished for
Valerie woke up as a result of the continuous shuffling and voices that she heard, voices that seemed familiar until she finally opened her eyes to see that the room she was in was messed up.Also, Donovan was yelling at someone on the phone and that was what has made her sit up from the bed, she hasn’t seen him act this way before, she has never seen him so angry or has she?Valerie couldn’t remember, but she knew that this wasn’t the first time that she had seen him this way, but it’s just her memory that was failing her. She has been forgetting a lot of things lately, and she was bothered about itThere was nothing pleasant about her past to remember, although she had no idea what her past was like, and the fact that she couldn’t do anything like telling Donovan about it, without him being angry about it, made her not bring it up.The fear she has for him was the beginning of wisdom for her to know that as long as she was on his good side, that he will treat her like a queen. All s
Maria looked down at her wrist watch to see that she’s been here for a good thirty minutes, yet she wasn’t giving up. It was so obvious that after her last meetup with Donovan, he was serious about the both of them not seeing each other any longer.Yet, from the urgency in her tone while she typed that message to him, it was only wise for him to know that she has something important to tell him about, but from the look of things it seems that he would rather watch Pandora kill his best friend, rather than to give her a listening ear.She rubbed her hands nervously to the point that it became so sweaty, and she didn't even want to talk about the part where her heart was beating irregularly as a result of her feeling anxious, about what the outcome of this meeting would turn to once she tells him everything starting from the beginning.“Ma’am.”Maria backed out of her thoughts to look at Cassy, who was standing in front of her holding her blazer. It was freezing cold out here, and for t
“So, you are trying to tell me that Alberto has been working for Maria all these while?” Mr. Salvatore asked for the second time, while his secretary replied back as best as he can as if the evidence wasn’t there right in front of him, with tbe photos containing pictures of Alberto and Maria.There were some pictures of them too on a business trip, as well as them going out on a date at a fancy restaurant. Truly, the pictures didn’t do any justice to try to prove that it was photoshopped.Al lot of misfortunes has befallen his business and family’s unity which was why Salvatore Castillo, had asked his secretary to keep an eye on every single person in the family, and out of all of them, Alberto was the scapegoat that has been working along with that woman, all these time!It was obvious that his son didn't have any idea of what’s going on, or did he? No! Salvatore knew that Angelo can be anything else but not stupid.He won’t protect his best friend at the cost of his own family. So,
“Miss.Jolene Harris?” The nurse called from the door, which broke Jolene out of her thoughts, to look at her mother who haven’t spoken to her, after letting her know about her past entanglement with Marco.She hasn’t made her father knkw anything about it, but the young lady didjt know how long her mother will be willing to keep her secret, if it’s positive that she’s pregnant.The choice of abortion is not an option, but wjtg the way her mother was ti g so far scaged her, she doesn’t want to abort the child, what sort of mother will she be to kill her own child despite the father being a dead rat.Her mother was angry and disappointed, of there was a y sophisticated way of explaining the look on her mothers face, after she find her of Marco, she couldn’t explain.Jolene felt bad.She regrets everything.Meeting Marco?Allowing him to get into her head?Him using her only ti dump her afterwards after getting what he wanted?It’s all her fault!Yet, she couldn’t hear the thoughts of he
Maria was inside her office signing important documents that needed her attention, before her door was slammed open and in walked an angry Alberto with her secretary, Cassy, rushing behind him.“Ma, I tried to stop him.” Cassy said, going to touch Alberto but Maria raised her up which stopped her from doing what she was about to do.The look on Alberto’s face said it all? He was clearly not in a good mood, but that doesn’t mean that he’s supposed to do anything he likes because they were business partners.He ought to show his respect as long as he’s here in her office, but of course that was something people like him, mafia men didn’t understand.“It’s okay, Cassy. Send in some refreshments.” Maria said, as Cassy looked at Alberto one more time.The look in her eyes said that she didn't trust him not to harm her madam, which Maria understands that she will be waiting outside with the security. They will all be on standby in case Alberto does anything silly.But Maria wasn’t scared of
