Lucien’s mildly spicy food arrived at the table, and the two had a festive meal. 

“I didn’t know you have such a strong tolerance for spicy food,” Lucien said in between chews and bites of food.

“Maybe when you had the life I had, you’d be just like me. Strong tolerance in many things in life,” Brianna answered indifferently. 

Lucien gave Anna an apologetic smile, but the latter just shrugged her shoulders. She would usually say there is no use crying over spilled milk. There are so many things she brought with her to present and may be up to her future, baggage from the past which needs resolves, and she got them as her goals. If she minds every little thing that bumps her way, like the simple thoughts of Lucien asking about her tolerance to spicy food, she will end up drowning, so she chooses to ignore those that are tolerable. And so far, no one has been as brave as Lucien enough to probe her with so many silly qu

    It was because Brianna pulled out her small gun with a suppressor. A Beretta 21 Pill Bottle. She was just careful not to miss her targets, and as they were too close for her to miss, the ones she shot with utmost discretion dropped to the ground.The civilian bodyguards were quick to assist Anna and Lucien, but as another wave of men was rushing towards their direction, the team leader boldly suggested an idea."Backup is on the way. We will buy you time so you can leave this place. Go!"The place had turned thrashed as things of different kinds flew here and there while others were exchanging blows at each other. One bodyguard was fighting against four or five of their enemies but trying to lure the rest to fight with them instead of chasing Lucien and Anna.But that was what the bodyguards were hoping to do. The gangsters' leader signaled what to do. Some remained on the spot to fight the bodyguards, but more were given a go signal to run after the

    Despite Jack being busy on the phone speaking with Blake, Brianna knew what she was walking into. She had already noticed that a man was seated next to a wall on her way to get to Lucien. And she was also aware that the man was expecting her arrival as there was a glass wall that showed her reflection.She was geared for battle so the opponent could make a wild guess of her identity that she was after the man in their captivity. Silly for him, he did not inform his comrades about the person stealthily walking into their lair. He was too confident he could handle the situation by himself as he could see the person was a woman. The man must have neglected the fact that if he could see the other person in the mirror, in the reflections, he could also be seen by the other party. And Brianna did. She saw the man preparing himself to attack her if she got too close to his reach, so she deliberately slid her way to get the man with her bare hands and shoot him with a silenced gu

    Leandro dialed Lucien's phone number, and since the young Michaelson had his phone in his pocket, the sound of it ringing was heard by the leader of his abductors. The man pulled the phone out of his captive's pants pocket and checked the name that flashed on its screen as the caller. The guy gave one of his men a sharp nod, and the man came close to Lucien with a roll of duct tape. "Keep him quiet!" The leader barked his order to the man with a tape in his hand.Lucien was tied, and his mouth was taped. Then the leader answered the phone call after walking a few steps away from Lucien. He only pressed the answer button, but he did not say anything."Lucien?" Leandro asked in a lively tone, pretending he did not know that he could see on the screen in his control room that it wasn't his grandson that answered the call. "Luci, my boy," Leandro continued. Jack coached him to keep the call as their diversion to help Blake Gordon reach where Brianna was hiding in the warehouse. "Did you

    The rescue troops soon got into the warehouse. They were all wearing gas masks as they were well aware the area would be filled with smoke from the amount of tear gas they were ordered to shoot into the warehouse. Blake could not move freely from his position because a few men from the enemy were lying on the ground with their guns pointing in his direction. He had a gas mask, so even if the smoke went up in the air, he was not affected by it, although he was on higher ground. The enemy also took the leverage of their position lying on the ground to avoid inhaling so much gas with one hand holding the gun while the other was covering their noses. Blake was able to keep himself unhit by the enemy's bullets by moving a bit back to hide within the narrow metal rack nearby. He did not see what had happened. And he was only able to move out securely when he heard their backup arrived."Rescue targets are missing! I repeat, rescue targets are nowhere in sight!"The t

    Leandro was also shocked to hear what Jack Foster said about the doctor’s information.“Taking from their location, what they are doing is illegal. Take that idiot out of that room and knock him out. Let the other doctors continue the surgery and save that poor boy,” the old Michaelson commanded Blake Gordon.“Yes, sir! Copy that!” Blake dutifully replied.He moved to do as ordered with guidance from Jack on who is who and whose to do the tasks.Then he motioned for some of his men to pull the ex-medical officer out of the room. But the man must have noticed that his identity had been known by the other party, so he discreetly waited for a chance to make his move.The soldier Blake has ordered to take the doctor out of the room had n choice but to take a shot defensively, and the doctor was hit in his side at a very close range. The gun had a suppressor, and the team of medical practitioners on the

    Lucien and Brianna were tied up with their hands to their backs. The men who took them were in a rush to leave the place that they knocked the two out with chloroform and carried the two like sacks of potatoes. Two men carried Lucien, while one man was enough to lift Brianna out of the warehouse from wall to wall.The leader of the abductors ordered his men to drive out of the area one at a time to avoid catching attention. The leader left knowing his truck had the captives, but he mistakenly heard the plate number he was told to take the ride as he was speaking to his boss on the phone when his men told him. He also got the call that said the warehouse was now being seized."Let them do what they want. We have what we needed, anyway," the leader sneered as he menacingly stated.It was not a big trouble for them if the location got exposed. It wasn't a small-time person behind the operations there. Terrence Clayton can make things happen; even the impossib

    He was clothed with only a shirt beneath his sweatshirt and jeans as he did not know where Anna was going when she sneaked out at dawn. Anna was wearing the same clothes she had in the morning, but with a bullet vest and magazine vest topped on it, so she was somehow thickly clothed compared to Lucien.“Here, have one of this first,” Brianna took off the magazine vest she was wearing and helped Lucien put it on him. “Rescue was right outside the warehouse. If we did not move, that means we are still within the area, and we will be found soon.”“I am not sure if we are still in the same area as you think. I just woke up earlier than you. I can’t tell for sure if we moved and already stopped or if we haven’t moved at all,” Lucien answered.“I don’t think we’ve been out that long,” Brianna thought aloud.“I wonder how you can say that so,” Lucien snorted.&ldqu

    Desperate to feel warm and stay alive, Anna abandoned shame and rationality. She was more determined to survive than anything else. She had been to a lot of life-threatening predicaments, too many to count, that she could even say she had been to hell and returned to earth to fulfill a personal goal, making her situation at the moment ashamed to claim it was the worst.She had a solution at hand!Considering she had the answer, it wasn't legit to call it a problem.The room might have been cold, but she had the warmth with her as much as she needed, as much as she desired and wanted.All she had to do was dive into it!And she did!"Anna…" Lucien moaned softly.He closed his eyes tight as he felt not only his manhood stiffen but his whole being. His body was rigid, and he felt like he had a severe but brief pain in the head induced by the consumption of very cold food or drink, a brain freeze, from all Anna was making him feel wi

    Five years later. “Babe, don’t tire yourself so much,” Lucien reminded Brianna lovingly. “How is our little Anna doing today?” he asked with his warm hands rubbing on Brianna’s six months pregnant belly. “I am not really sure. But I have no doubts she is too eager to see the outside world. She has been kicking my ribs inside as if trying to push her way out even before her due!” Brianna blew a breath as she answered. Lucien laughed happily at the cute face of his lovely wife who somehow looked complaining. “Babe, I noticed that your mood swings during this pregnancy and the first one, with Caleb, are so different. Could it be because their genders are also different? With Caleb, you were as tough as usual, but with our little girl, Abigail, you are so… Uhmmm, so…. How do I say this?” Lucien scratched his head as if searching for the exact but safe word to say not to provoke his pregnant wife. “Come on, tell me. I am so what, huh?” Brianna asked with a sweet smile. Her face looked

    “And in respect to Anna’s parents, I wish to move their graves into a mausoleum only for the Peters; the parents and grandparents. And as soon as we’ve done so, we will hold a ceremony to honor them,” Leandro declared. “What do you say about these thoughts of mine, Anna? I really hope I do not offend you in any way, because with all my heart, I swear, I only have the purest desire to express my gratitude that they brought you into this world and now you become a part of our family, that also makes your family ours, just like our family is also yours.”Silence filled the whole room. The question was directed to Brianna, so their eyes all turned to look at her as they waited to hear what she would say in response to Leandro’s words that were said with heartfelt sincerity. Brianna was silent not because she was feeling so emotional. Brianna was inwardly checking her heart and thoughts as well as her intuitive response, in silence. Guarding her mind against any misunderstanding or miscal

    Brianna and Lucien arrived earlier than Sandra and Levi. It was because Sandra wanted to buy something for Anna, Sandra’s soon-to-be daughter-in-law, and also something for her father-in-law, Leandro Michaelson. There was nothing to worry bout since the war had already subsided and there were more than enough men to assist the couple with security or anything they would ever need. Enzo welcomed the young couple, Brianna and Lucien, as soon as they arrived at the mansion. Leandro sent the helicopter to fetch Enzo right after Leandro and Andy were dropped off at his yard. Lucien did not say anything, but Enzo understood the curious look on his young Master’s face as to why it was not the same as usual. Leandro would always wait for Lucien and Brianna by the door whenever the patriarch knew of their arrival. “The Master has a guest. They are in the study room and he is asking for your presence as well,” Enzo answered as he led the couple to where Leandro, Andy, and their guest were at

    While the rest of the world was in tumult, the men on the Michaelsons' private army along with Brianna’s team subdued the whole barracks and gather every useful piece of evidence to solidify the cases against Terrence Clayton. The Michaelsons team found out there were more grave reasons why the ex-Vice President wanted the whole place burned down. “Sir, there seemed to be a lot of hidden bundles of money on one of the installed container vaults covered in military cloth to make it appear and look like it was only one of the stocks containers,” Captain Lexus Bordeaux reported when they started to search the whole property for anything they could find useful. “There is no way one can create a legal document to explain such a large sum of money, so Clayton must have kept them there,” Andy scoffed. “And there wouldn’t have been any way his under-the-table deals would pay him other than by cash,” Leandro also scorned. “Do not touch anything, just take photos and secure the surroundings

    Blake assigned Finn and Hoggins to cover him by looking at their surroundings as his watchmen while he focused his attention on the target he was after according to the order given for him to execute. Blake had to look up most of the time to locate the shooter so he was relieved two of his comrades who already knew the drills and what they were supposed to do in this situation were with him to rely on. “Boss, these men are wearing a different uniform from ours. I believe they are not on the same side with us. What do I do?” Blake reported in a whispering tone as soon as he got the assurance that his information was accurate. “Take them down. Alive if possible, injured or not. But don’t hesitate to shoot if they try to resist and fight back!” Brianna answered. “Yes, Boss!” Blake answered. He gave Ramil Finn and Andrew Hoggins a signal on what to do and they acted accordingly. Hoggins took the east and south directions to secure. Finn took the other two directions while Blake Gordon

    “Don Leon, the barracks in the forest is about to be abolished. Whether there are people in it or none, the order was made, and Terrence Clayton’s minions are on the move as we speak. If you have your men in there, tell them to pull out. Especially if your grandson and his wife are there, I strongly suggest you inform them of this message immediately!” The caller was using a voice synthesizer, so it was unrecognizable if the caller was a man or a woman. “Let me know who you are, whether what you say is the truth or just a prank; I want to thank you for this length of effort to notify me; let me return the favor one day,” Leandro wisely replied. “I will come to find you in person one day, then you will know who you are, and I will personally ask for your help. But for now, we don’t have time. Tell your men to pull out!” That was all they heard before the line was cut. “Tatum Eliott, leave the area right away. I repeat, leave the area right now!

    “What are all of these?” Lucien asked looking at a slideshow of files with word documents and images. “Isn’t that the address of the warehouse where we found the human organ harvesting? Are these papers the legal documents of property ownership?” “Yes! And someone sent me this file after I failed to hack into their firewall!” Jack answered with a victorious laugh. “Wait…! The ownership is under the name of… Will somebody zoom that part where the name is printed and signed?!” Leandro frowned as he also tried to read the content of the document on the wide screen in front of him and Andy Lockwood. “Terrence Clayton!?”Andy, Leandro, Lucien, and Jack almost read and uttered the name aloud in unison. Brianna scoffed. In her thoughts, “got ya!” was bouncing although her facial expressions remained as calm as always. “How did you get this? Are you sure they are legit?” Brianna asked calmly instead of showing her pure delight. She still wanted to make sure they weren’t rejoicing over a f

    Then Charles Anderson turned to the IT team. “I want to see every corner, every area, every exit and entrance of this barracks!” he roared in panic. “Sir, what about the men in the field?” the team leader asked cautiously after nodding in response to the command given. “Forget them, they are no longer of any use now that the enemy has its hands on them,” Charles answered waving his right hand dismissively. “I want to see if the ones I am after would grace me with their mighty presence,” Charles murmured as he busily looked at every screen. “I am not so sure they would choose to join their team to attack me back for gatecrashing their wedding but knowing the bride too well, I won’t be surprised if I see her face coming for me at this moment.” Charles keenly observed every angle on every screen. He was tracing Brianna’s figure among the intruders. They were all in full gear, but knowing Brianna for more than a decade, Charles Anderson could tell even her shadow. And he was more tha

    As soon as Blake Gordon activated the jammer, the sniper team Charles had sent to attack the resort hotel, where Brianna Peters and Lucien Michaelson’s wedding was supposed to be being held, got disconnected and unreachable for Charles and the few men with him that controlled their overall internet connections and communication. “What the fuck is going on?!” Charles asked the man he knew was the most active in every inquiry Charles would make. “Get them back online!” Charles Anderson was furious beyond words but he was not very much familiar with everyone around him at the moment, so he was aware he could not act like he would usually do when he was with Jack and the rest of the men under his command.“Sir, something must be wrong from their end of the network,” the man seated in front of the computer hesitantly uttered. “What is that supposed to mean?!” Charles snarled.The poor IT guy cringe, but he had no choice other than clarify his words.“I tried to reach out to them but the
