Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56“Consider yourself escaped hell today, soldier, ” Terrence Clayton sneered at Larry Hill. He was puffing on his tobacco as he waited for the captives to be brought to him in his basement. He was seated on his throne-like chair with his right leg crossed atop his left knee. Then he dialed a number as soon as he saw Lucien Michaelson coming. But his face frowned when he saw a woman with the young Michaelson, also a captive.
“Who’s this?” Terrence asked with disgust in his tone, glaring at Larry. But before Larry could respond, Terrence waved his hand to dismiss him because a voice was heard from the phone he was holding, the one he dialed a number earlier. “Finally! I get to call the great and mighty King of the Gambling world, Don Leon!” Terrence's tone could be mistaken as cheerful and enthusiastic speaking with the person on the other line, but his face was sneering and sporting mockery as he glarRelated chapters

Lucien and Brianna's backup team came in before Terrence Clayton’s men could ever react, recovering from being shocked at what was happening right before their eyes. They only had one way to get in and out of the basement, so they cautiously walked down the stairs, and with every one of Terrence’s men focused on watching Brianna swiftly moving around to immobilize their boss, they did not notice the fully armed men that came in to rescue their captives.Even Donrey Cox!He did not know how the rescue would take place. He did not expect the woman to be tougher than Donrey had already thought about her. He had even prepared his heart and mind to fail and made peace with death. But his astonishment started when the woman he made a deal with suddenly moved like a bouncing ball from where she stood to the wall and jumped like a Leopard to grab its prey.Terrence, who was like a ferocious beast in their eyes and understanding, was defeated so effortl

When Brianna and Lucien walked out of Terrence Clayton’s basement, their backup and rescue troop were busy securing every evidence of the dirty politician’s misdeeds, from the smallest to everything they could find. The IT team also came guided some of the soldiers to do specific tasks to make sure they got all copies of evidence from Clayton’s personal computer aside from his portable laptop.“We’re leaving ahead of you, guys,” Lucien declared.Walking behind Brianna, he beamed as he told the two team leaders who seemed to be waiting for him and Brianna to walk out of the door that he was going before them with Anna.Brianna did not say anything to deny or confirm Lucien’s words, but she walked to the vehicle closest to the gates and checked if the door was unlocked and had the key in it.“Who has the key to this one?” Brianna asked.She kept searching; smart keys are not like the mechanically cut traditional ones where they would be put into

“Now, cheer up!” Lucien held Brianna’s face on its sides with both hands as he stood next to the door of the passenger’s seat side of the vehicle. Brianna still had her eyes closed while Lucien wiped his thumbs to dry the stubborn tears that kept streaming down her eyes. “I can’t present you with tears in your eyes to my dear parents-in-law because they might misinterpret things that I made you cry,” Lucien humorously stated as he kissed Brianna’s tears away.“What..?” Brianna asked with a raspy voice. Then she looked up to check their surroundings.It was already dusk as nightfall was like a vast blanket covering the whole cemetery with darkness. But there were post lamps on the paths with only about two meters apart from each one lamp post to the next, illuminating the place not so brightly but enough to see where they were going and read the writings on each tombstone.Brianna knew the place too well because she had been here a lot of times over the years

“I don’t know if you have noticed,” Brianna playfully snorted to tease the man, who was speaking with obvious nervous tensions. “But you haven’t even told them your name.” Lucien scratched his head in embarrassment. He was too eager to make his intentions known to the Peters couple. He totally neglected to introduce himself formally. He pleadingly gave Brianna a look as if he was asking for rescue from her. “Okay, let me introduce you to them,” Brianna felt funny, but she suppressed her laughter seeing the man was too tense. Then she sat crossed legs in front of her parents’ grave. She looked so close and comfortable, as if they had been this way even when they were still alive. Mom, Dad,” Brianna started with a relaxed tone. “This is Lucien Michaelson.” Lucien waited for more of what Brianna was going to say but felt hanging when her words took a halt. It seemed like she was done introducing him. He gave her a questioning look. “What!?” Brianna asked as soon as she noticed hi

“Dad, what do you think no about him?” Brianna reached for the bottle of whiskey and opened its lid; then, she poured a single shot amount of its content on the spot of soil between where she was leisurely sitting while Lucien was still kneeling with his butt on his heels and Leith Peters’ tombstone.“Do you think he will withstand and tolerate life with a stubborn and clueless about family things like me?” Lucien butt in to make known his answers to both his dearly loved Anna and his parents-in-law.“I am very sure about that!” Lucien started with exceeding confidence. Brianna glanced at her. “Nobody knows what the future brings,” she somehow seemed to remind Lucien not to say words he might not keep when challenged by circumstances in and of life. “You might be right about that, but I would rather die than make you sad because I am prepared to receive your wrath more than anyone else’s,” Lucien pointed out that he was pretty aware Brianna would not tolerate his foolishness if h

Brianna did not resist Lucien’s kisses. She responded in equal intensity instead. The world seemed to have stopped around them. Brianna had her body almost twisted to receive and give her kisses to Lucien with eagerness, mimicking his passion expressed for her to feel.“Oh, Michaelson…” Brianna murmured with her eyes closed as she filled her lungs with the air it greatly demanded.“Yes, Missus Michaelson?…” Lucien replied with a wide grin, biting his lower lip as he took breaths deeply through his nose, sniffing Brianna’s hair. He embraced his woman from her side. No one could tell how they were able to change Brianna’s position from sitting before Lucien with her back to him to getting cradled like a baby with her head and feet to Lucien’s sides.Brianna shook her head when she heard Lucien’s words.“I am not married yet. I remain as Peters until so,” Brianna retorted, hiding the smile on her face. “Right, dad?” She turned to her parents’ tombstone.Lucien readily agreed.“My sinceres

“You hold my heart, my joy, and my life in your hands. If you wish to crush it, I don’t have the strength or even the balls to resist your will,” Lucien was seriously declaring his surrender but the last part of his statement made Brianna giggle. “No balls, huh?” she playfully sneered. “Well… I do have them…” Lucien cleared his throat as he tried to defend his masculine pride. “But… They are for a different purpose…” he added as he stood from his spot to help Brianna do the same. “Is that so…?” Brianna was provoking Lucien with words she had fished out of his. “Babe…I can prove it to you…” Lucien confidently stated. He was now standing with his right hand held out towards Brianna for her to hold as she stands from her sitting spot on the ground. Brianna was already tipsy and the spirit of alcohol was ruling over her but she was perfectly aware of what she was doing. The difference was the restraints on her expressions of emotions and reactions towards everything. Had she been s

Brianna did as Lucien had suggested she do. She slept in her seat while Lucien drove them home. But as usual, Brianna was even more active subconsciously. “Did your men change their vehicle?” she lazily asked with her eyes half-closed, checking on the mirror to her side of the car. Lucien heard her words clearly as there was only silence in the car before and after her words were said. He checked on his side mirror. It was already dark, and he could not see to check. Brianna must have noticed the vehicle when they passed by a post lamp. But the next one was still ahead of them. “I am not aware of such. Why?” he asked gently. “I don’t think I recognize the car that is behind us,” she answered with her eyes closed again. Lucien was amazed at how she could even notice such details when he thought she was asleep. He wanted to ask, but he held his tongue from doing so, lest he may sound stupid to Anna again. She might get annoyed by his incompetence in many things despite being the ma

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! A tip just came in; that place is

“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
