“Stay here, babe. I will go get it for you,” Lucien hurriedly said when he saw Brianna was about to leave the room again.

“I will wait for you here then. Thanks, babe,” Brianna answered.

She did not insist because that was exactly what she was hoping would be his response to her pretense. And she was assuming the man would take some time before he got to return if he kept looking for a phone that was actually turned off and hidden in the cushions of the sofa she was seated on.

As soon as Lucien was far enough not to hear her words, Brianna spoke to the old Don.

“You might not like my idea, but if we want this matter dealt with as soon as possible, I need to go out there,” Brianna sat close to Leandro and stated firmly, although with due respect and manner.

“Oh, dear,” Leandro sighed defeatedly. “If only I can decide about that on my own…” the old Michaelson shook his head gently. He was not surprised Anna noticed the weird atmosphere, no matter how discreet he and Enzo tried to a

    “I have this man under surveillance since then. He is wired and we caught the conversation between him and a man who called to speak with him. They did not mention the name but I believe I got a clear clue on whoever is behind all these,” Don Leon said with his jaw tightened in anger.“Your suspicions might be right,” Brianna mentioned. “We lost hold of Charles Anderson just a few days ago. And Jack had been trying to find him ever since then but to no avail. We don’t have any traces to track him like someone so able to hide and conceal his whereabouts is helping him.”“I didn’t want to bother you, nor make you worried about other things, but when Tatum went to assist your men during the invasion in your place, there were two different groups of mercenaries sent to do the job,” Leandro Michaelson said, then he gave Enzo a nod and the assistant came forward with a tablet screen handing his old Master. “Here, have a look.”Leandro handed the electronic gadget to Brianna for her to see t

    Everything went through just as Brianna had planned them. Knowing where the exact location was, she drove the truck to a shopping mall with a branch of the appliance store in it to avoid any suspicions if anyone was watching the moves from the Michaelsons’ mansion. Their enemies are not to be taken lightly, so Brianna did her best to move discreetly. A few cars were readily parked when Brianna arrived at the basement, and she ordered their men to move with the utmost discretion and left the place to take different directions. They were supposed to surround the vicinity but not without making sure they were unnoticeable. The Michaelson couple was at the hospital they were working, and there were buildings of different departments around and nearby for Brianna and her men to climb and get to where Levi and Sandra were being kept for safety. “We need to move as fast as we can… Do you have eyes on them, Jack?” Brianna asked with a stern tone. Don Leon made sure to remind Brianna about

    “Where are you now?” Leandro Michaelson asked. “We’re in the crowd,” Brianna answered vaguely. “Don’t look for us. Please focus to look on the picture from a farther view. We cannot miss anything. If we are dealing with Charles Anderson, we should be wise enough to consider all the possibilities of him anticipating our every move.”“Copy that,” Leandro answered. “Please be safe. I trust you know what you are doing, so I will let you do your thing and also look at the surrounding within a mile radius.”The old Michaelson did not argue with Anna. If he was blind about her whereabouts, he was happy to know that it wasn’t only him who had no eyes on Anna and Lucien, Jack Foster was the same. The moment Brianna and Lucien got into the room, their lips parted but only to make sure no one else was with them inside it, pretentiously giggling. When they confirmed they were the only souls in the room, Brianna checked the whole place for any exits that she could use to get into the room where

    “You should know that I do not follow anyone’s orders, Devon, right?” Brianna answered to the man’s threatening greetings. Then she mocked the man to make him lose his focus. “Oh, was it like a combination of Devil and Demon?” Brianna spoke with stinging sarcasm. “What a perfect name for you. Your old folks must have had a hard time thinking what to give you for a name but it turned out perfectly.”Brianna did not show any signs of being threatened by what the man Devon had said about killing their hostages. Brianna knew the men were also aware they should never be reckless to kill their hostages because it will serve as getting themselves naked for the other party to finish them as well. They are no beginners in this profession to make such novice mistakes. “Shut up! At least my parents are alive, unlike yours, Bitch!” Devon roared back with his voice controlled. Brianna smiled and jeered at the man named Devon. He may have sounded stern, but Brianna knew he was somehow affected by

    “Don’t make a sound. One bad move and you won’t see the light ever again,” Brianna warned the man. “Boss B! Am not the enemy. What is going on?” the bodyguard was startled and scared. “If you are who you say you are, then you should know the answer to this question. What is my grandma’s name?” Lucien spoke with clenched teeth.He was prepared to fire the gun anytime if the bodyguard did not know the answer to his question. It was in their training to be familiar with the Michaelson family, faces, and identities in case such a situation as now was to arise at any time. “Sarah Gilbert Michaelson, Sir!” the bodyguard hurriedly answered. Brianna did not know such drills of training for the men working for the Michaelsons to know such names even of the deceased family member to check if the person was indeed their man or not. However, although Lucien confirmed the man to be the personal bodyguard, she stated her words with coldness before doing what she deemed necessary in their curren

    Everything happened according to Lucien and Brianna’s plans. They did not leave any chances for their enemies to strike back. Even without proof if a mole was left by taking them all down. Levi was not very fond of weapons but knowing he was using a T-gun, undeadly to anyone he would shoot it to, the surgeon did not hesitate to clear the path for his family to walk out of the situation alive. It was a choice between his family’s lives and the enemy, so without any doubt, Levi Michaelson did what he knew he was supposed to do. “Knowing self-defense is not bad at all,” Levi tapped his son’s shoulder when they were sure they had everyone down, sleeping like drunkards on the floor. Lucien just smiled. “Let’s get our ladies, now, dad,” he said with an excited mien.“What do we do next?” Asked Levi. “Well, we have to ask the expert about that,” Lucien replied. “Didn’t I see you being disobedient earlier?” the father teased his son. “I am telling you, son, you should beware and be ready

    While the two couples were in the beach resort, they had a brainstorm about what they should do best in their situation. But most certainly not before Brianna expressed her sincerest apologies to Sandra for firing a T-gun on her before they even get the chance to introduce each other formally. “I was surprised, I won’t deny that…” Sandra answered. “But I am more grateful you came your way to rescue us. I cannot imagine myself doing the same thing for my father-in-law had the situation been any different,” Sandra smiled sheepishly as she stated, then turned to her husband. “I am sorry, honey….” she apologized sweetly. “You won’t have to, I am sure of that,” Brianna answered confidently. “I agree with her, sweetheart,” Levi assured his wife. “We all have different skills and talents, yours is being a neurosurgeon. While Anna here is talented and amazingly competent on the battlefield, I believe you both have your charms in your own way. Right, Luci?”“Absolutely, dad,” Lucien nodded

    Although Levi made sure he told his dad that the wedding that the old man had to organize was just for a show, Lendor Michaelson did not bother to listen. Instead, he made everything extravagant. It was his grandson’s wedding, how could he take the chance to organize it the way he wishes ever so lightly? Isn’t this his only chance to do such things for his amusement?As his first step, Leandro told Enzo to call Vicky Reed, Lucien’s most trusted chief secretary in the LM Realtors Company to announce the incoming celebration and festivities to all the company employees. “Let the news spread but make it look like it wasn’t supposed to be told. Do you know what I mean?” Enzo casually relayed the message to Vicky Reed as Don Leon had told his assistant to tell the chief secretary. “Does it mean, we have to make it look like a rumor spreading all over the company?” Vicky asked to clarify. “Exactly, but we are offering double pay for that day for those who would choose to work than attend

    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
