Deciding not to stoop down to Ryan's level, Dan forced himself to calm down and was finally able to grit out the question he wanted to ask.
"When do we put the final plan into action?"
Needing him not to elaborate, Ryan's expression turned serious as he spoke in a sinister voice.
"I originally planned to execute it on the senatorial election day when that brother of mine would be feeling proud of himself. I wanted him to experience the feeling of falling down to hell straight from heaven! The feeling of being just one step away from his dream... That feeling must be quite wonderful, right?"
Dan shuddered subconsciously while he listened tone, and couldn't help but be thankful that he wasn't be subject of his plotting.
Then he heard Ryan continue, "But now I don't think I would be able to wait that much longer."
Of course, Dan knew why he said that
Merry Christmas!
Blood Gang HQA mobile phone rang in a room and disrupted the peace and at the same time, attracted the attention of a man sitting down inelegantly on the floor.Dan raised his head and glanced at the direction from which the phone was ringing, which was also where he had put his phone. He seemed to have thought of something as his eyes lit up brightly like there was a galaxy of stars in them and his lips also curled up as he stood up and strode in wide strides towards the locker room in a good mood.He impatiently opened the locker and took out his phone with a smug smile on his face while inwardly praising himself for being smart enough to grab his phone before Ryan had dragged him out to train earlier. If not, wouldn't he have missed this call..The smile on his face widened even more when he saw that it was an unsaved number."Hello", He answered the call with obvious delight in his voice but when he heard the other person's voice, the smile on
Selena in the Preston's living room and had a strange expression on her face as she stared at the handsome man sitting relaxedly across from her. It was obvious from his laid-back attitude that this wasn't his first time here.He was wearing a fitting gray suit and seemed to be in his late thirties, with had a head full of honey-brown hair. Every move he seemed to make carried an inherent noble grace and permeated a mature man's charm.He also had affectionate eyes that made you feel like you are the only one present in his world when he looks at you warmly.Selena had to admit that if she didn't have someone in her heart, she might have been tempted after all before Ryan came into the picture, this was her type of dream man.But that wasn't the cause of the strange expression on her face, rather it was because the man was someone whose face she couldn't be more familiar with!He
Ariana Houston sat inside the immobile car and stared at the gas gauge with a dark expression on her face. She should have known that that b*tch of a woman wouldn't be able to restrain herself from making a move on her today!But she had naively thought that what happened in the morning was all that there was to it!Today was her first day of work at the Houston's Company and she had planned to go with her father but unfortunately, a wrench had been thrown into that plan when the stepmother of hers had come up with a stupid reason to make her father leave while she was still getting dressed.Regrettably, that father of hers had actually listened to her and left for work without informing her. She still felt a pang of hurt in her heart when she had arrived downstairs minutes later to be told he had left, however, that was it to it, she had gotten used to being disappointed and neglected over and over again by the man she
"That little b*tch must have never dreamt I would do that, right? Thinking not letting her leave in her father's car was the end? How naive!" Just like her mother. "That had only been the appetizer before the main course!" "I wonder how she must be feeling at the moment? Despaired? Restless? As she watched different cars driving past her with not even a single one of them willing to extend a helping hand. Of course, they don't dare to! Not unless they are willing to make Ariana Houston sat inside the immobile car and stared at the gas gauge with a dark expression on her face.

On the other hand, Dan felt that he was really in luck today. After he had hung up the call from the old man, he had dilly-dallied for a while to make them anxious before finally boarding his convertible to go to the Golden Homes which was where the Anderson's lived.However, mid-way, he noticed an obviously faulty car parked by the road that led out of the Golden Homes with a woman's figure standing beside it. At first, he had no intention of stopping to help even though he had felt puzzled as to why someone coming out of the Golden Homes had no chauffeur, after all, he was driving in not out.Luckily to him, just as he drove past the car, the woman beside it raised her head slightly and he caught a glimpse of her side profile."F*ck! It was her?", He cursed out loud as he violently parked the car to stare heatedly at the woman. He couldn't believe he would coincidentally encounter the woman who had constantly been on h
Anderson's Residence. Patriarch Anderson and Luke who were still waiting for Dan got increasingly impatient as time went by. One hour. Two hours. Three hours. Slam! A fist slammed the table angrily, shaking it violently. With a dark expression on his face, Patriarch Anderson gritted out. "Is he taking me for a fool by making me wait for so long?" Luke who also had a dark and hateful expression on his face replied with false calmness. "He should be coming..., right? Let's wait for a while more...", He told his furious father though his tone indicated that he also wasn't sure of himself. "Wait?! That is what you have been telling me for the past few hours! Even if he is living somewhere remote, he should have gotten here by now!" Of course, Luke also knew that, but he still found i
In the coming days days, Dan no longer had the time to pay attention to Ariana's situation(both at work and home), due to the frequent assassination attempts on Ryan's life. However, he did keep in mind, the promise he had made to her in the car as he raced to the Hudson's Company.Probably because of his guilt in respect to the way he had coerced her into agreeing to be his woman and also because he was also trying to prove that she had made the right choice in agreeing, he had promised her his full support in getting back her birthright.Fortunately, she also didn't turn out to be a stubborn person who obviously had no true ability to speak of, yet insists on not accepting what is considered 'handouts' from someone who could help her.In fact, Ariana herself was aware of the extent of her personal ability and also knew that although she would be able to accomplish her goals without any external help, that would only be
The thirteen-year-old him hadn't wanted to leave his mother after finding out her plans of leaving him with the father he had never met and had no affection or attachment to.However, Mary had been cruel and ruthless to both herself and him back then by telling him that his existence was a burden to her and it restrained her from having her own personal life.She had told him that she planned on getting married and her partner said he couldn't tolerate his existence. Even now, he still remembered clearly how his mind had gone blank as he listened to the words that sounded harsh in his ears as it came out of her mouth. At that time, he couldn't fathom where something had gone wrong - why his loving and caring mother suddenly turned hateful and wanted to abandon him.Yet, she gave him no time to understand as she left without saying goodbye after entrusting him to Anderson. He could only watch her leave with a blank expression on his face whilst he couldn't
