Casper came out of the saloon looking different and even more attractive. The sides of his long hair were neatly trimmed with a long curly top. His sideburns blended into the low fade sides of his hair. Cathan had gotten a new hairstyle too, almost the same as Casper's but with a high fade to the side. As the duo stepped out, their resemblance became obvious. "Where do we go now?" Cathan asked Casper."Grandpa's palace to show him the video,” Casper nodded and they headed to the car. They kept receiving stares because of Casper. The way his all-black look with sunglasses made him so fierce and yet attractive, most people who weren’t in the business field couldn’t but wonder who he was. Today, he was only accompanied by Cathan, having left his remaining bodyguards to clear the mess in the punishment room."Won't you inform him first?" No one visited grandpa without prior notice unless the old man had requested for the person beforehand. Cathan wondered what Casper was up to."Why shou
News about the death of Riccardo spread worldwide like wildfire but no one dared to reveal the killer. Riccardo walked into the Lion's den and never returned. From the detailed visual of his death, seeing Casper playing with life and knives, Mafia Lords had to come around for a meeting concerning him. Those who had met him only had grave news concerning him and those who hadn't, never wanted to cross paths with him. Those who were sending threats concerning their request for ammunition which had been delayed due to investigations quickly withdrew their grievances. Some of the Mafia Lords also thought that what happened between Riccardo and Casper exposed Riccardo's weakness. They saw themselves to be stronger than Riccardo and could defeat Casper. Whichever way, they still couldn't do without Casper, due to the request for ammunition. Going through other means might expose the gangs because of the quantities in which they were supplied. After the meeting, they concluded that they
"Grandpa, I thought you had left." Grandpa stiffened slightly at the sound of Casper's cold voice. He was aggravated about Casper appearing at this time when all he wanted to do was demoralize this unfortunate girl and make her regret her actions. Why didn't he guess that Casper might come here as well? He wiped the darkness in his eyes with an indifferent look before turning to face Casper. "I just thought I should say Hi to Miss Nova," Grandpa gave Jenna a sinister glance before turning to face Casper again. From his indifferent tone, one couldn't decipher his real intentions. Casper glanced at Jenna and something flashed in his eyes. Was it because of how she was dressed, he couldn't tell but also knew that Grandpa was up to no good being here. "Why?" Grandpa gritted his teeth but relaxed them at the thought that Casper was still his grandson. He was the one who even named him so why should he be afraid of him? "You are the CEO, Casper but it doesn't make me useless does it?"
Jenna mulled over her options, not comfortable with the idea of seeing Casper again for now, especially after that night and what just happened in the office. Also, what she was going to discuss with him wasn't work-related so, she wouldn't be queried. Since Peggy was already waiting for her at the reception Casper could wait. That was his punishment for videoing their intimate act without her consent. She took the elevator and went down to the reception area. Peggy wasn't alone. She was accompanied by a hunky man with a gush appearance. A glance at him and Jenna discerned that he must have been beaten by a mob or something, due to the bruises covering the exposed areas of his body. Peggy ran to embrace her. "Jenna, why is your security so tight? They won't even let me upstairs," Peggy complained after breaking from the hug. The security matters at the Blade Towers were out of Jenna's domain. "I'm sorry Peggy, only staff are allowed upstairs unless you have a business appointment
Armando wasn't a fool. Indeed, he was there for revenge but after meeting Casper face to face, he wouldn't dare. Casper was nothing like he saw in the video and wouldn't dare to fight the Lion in his den with just a few bodyguards. The Casper he was seeing now was even more fierce, covering himself with darkness. Swiftly, he changed his main objective today, into business. As for his revenge, it wasn't what Casper expected. Now that he had seen him, he would set a trap for him, where he would die like a cockroach. For now, he just had to act up and wait for the right opportunity."Revenge? That's ridiculous, Mr Blade. I'm not as foolish as my brother. I'm here for business." Casper’s gaze was intense and even though he did not believe Armando, he didn't let it show. He carried himself with exceptional grace. "Alright then. Have a seat." Casper stretched his slender fingers to the chair in front of him. Without his glasses, his eyes looked like they were going to slash Armando at any
"Your friend, is it Kate?" Casper was deliberately trying to ignore Jenna's question while he sought confirmation for something else. Unfortunately, it only made Jenna even more suspicious because, over time, she kept thinking of the most suitable punishment for offenses like what Max did. "No, but you didn't answer my question. Where is Max?" Casper was relieved that it wasn't Kate which meant it was another friend. Now he wondered how many friends she had. Casper was only surrounded by family and didn't have any friends but Jenna had no family, except her friends. Her curious gaze didn't allow him to dodge the question like he wanted to. He just couldn't lie to her. "Dead." The indifference in his tone was scary. It was as if life and death meant nothing to him. "You killed him?" Jenna automatically shifted back slightly, as she thought about who Casper really was. What happened to the police and the law? Was he someone the police feared? The more she thought about it, the more h
It wasn't right but it felt good. He belonged to someone else but when they found themselves in this situation, it was clear that their passion burned like they belonged to each other. His lips were soft, his tongue diving into the corners of her mouth. She pressed her hand at the back of his head, deepening the kiss. Her whole being craved and accepted him. She didn't want him to stop and was ready to give him herself again when he suddenly recoiled and pulled away. Dissatisfaction, like a wave of cold breeze, froze her to the spot. He didn't want her. He didn't want to offend his arranged bride. It was well understood. Jenna's back against the wall dropped, her face fell. She must have seduced him with her outfit but he wasn't a fool. Casper's mind was clouded. He didn't know why he kissed her after that night. He wasn't someone who went back on his words. I'm sorry for doing that. I shouldn't have." He was right but why did her heart feel like it was going to tear? They weren't
Even Casper had seen through Hunter's emotions but didn't dwell on it. His only concern was Caleb. Why would he love someone else's woman? What kind of game was he playing? Peggy also didn’t seem to mind and kept smiling. Casper had been there for a while and seen all that had happened."Cathan, what is his result?" Casper asked, squashing the urge to throw so many questions at Caleb."Very good." Cathan wanted to burst with all the laughter bubbling inside of him. He knew that Caleb was messing with Hunter but couldn't find out the reason why he did that. It was also clear that Hunter loved Peggy but why did he only see her as a sister? He also wanted to know, which was the reason why he didn’t stop Caleb.Casper turned to Hunter, who was still looking red. "Will you be a shadow bodyguard?""Yes." Hunter smiled. Shadow bodyguard was more difficult than normal bodyguards because the person you are guarding doesn’t have to know but Hunter liked it because it would help him to keep an
Think of the most beautiful flowers, the most expensive decor, this wedding was top notch and live broadcasted for everyone to see. It was the first time anyone except Jenna saw Casper smile. He walked through the aisle and waited for his bride at the altar. Did he ever stop wearing black? NO. But on this special day, he didn’t want to wear sunglasses so he had a special contact lens made to surprise Jenna because she was going to wear white. She still kept a secret but never did it reduce his love for her. Pregnancy could never be hidden when they were together.The auditorium was the most exquisite design from the best world acclaimed wedding planners. Casper couldn’t choose between Caleb and Cathan, appointing Hunter to be his best man. Caleb and Cathan took charge of the security of the event wholeheartedly. They weren’t offended by Casper’s decision. It was quite understandable.There were no groomsmen or bridesmaids. Casper saw them as a nuisance. Jenna had no objections because
Rex was eager to watch what was on the Pendrive because he wanted to know how grandpa died. Casper wasn’t ready to give any verbal explanation since he was anxious to go home and rest. He still had a lot to do so the earlier his body recovered, the better. The delay of the seniors while they contemplated on how to watch whatever was saved on the Pendrive annoyed him greatly, his countenance turned cold. He was about to speak when Rex noticed the change in his aura, quickly asking,“Can we go somewhere to talk about the amendment?”“No, my body needs rest.” His wounds were still fresh and though he felt minimal pain, he knew that stress would still affect the healing process. “Of course, you are still recovering. Let’s speak in my car then,” Rex suggested. Casper agreed.“Okay.” Then he turned to Jenna.“Please wait for me in the car.”Jenna didn’t argue and went to wait for him, while Casper entered Rex’s car, making himself comfortable in the passenger seat. Rex sat in the driver sea
The next morning, Casper woke up to the delicious aroma of French toast, bacon, scrambled eggs, caramelised Bananas and a glass of warm milk. “Breakfast in bed,” Jenna was as bright as the morning sun and her smile was dazzling, melting the coldness of his heart. He smiled warmly.Jenna was amazed because this smile was a full blown one she had never seen before. She went ahead to ask him, since Casper kept admiring her and hadn’t spoken. “Good morning and how do you feel?” “This is the best day of my life,” Casper admitted, while he continued to stare with heavy emotions, into her grey eyes. Jenna let out a shy smile and said, “wrong, you might feel good but our best days are yet to come.” She was planning ways of making him the happiest man on earth. She picked the cutlery, pressing the fork to the egg and cutting through with the table knife. She lifted a piece of scrambled egg to Casper’s thin lips that parted to receive it. “Here, I’ll feed and give you your medication.”Casper
Soon, Hunter arrived with a doctor. He wasn’t a Blade Doctor because grandpa had sent his bodyguards to kidnap the Blade doctors living close by. His whole motive was directed at Casper not being able to survive the whole ordeal. The two love birds broke from the kiss at the intrusion. Jenna was slightly flustered at Hunter’s complicated gaze, which was contrary to his smile.“Jenna, you are here.”“Is it a compliment or reprimand?” Jenna smiled shyly and asked. She was the only woman around so it felt weird and the environment was new to her.“I’m just surprised to see you,” Hunter pursed his lips and said. He wanted to erase any suspicions that he had been spying on her.The doctor was about to attend to Casper when Hunter went to lock the door. Jenna, the doctor and Casper were all surprised but faintly understood when Cathan and Caleb drew closer, peeling off the fallen and lacerated skin from Casper like a Plaster.Casper winced but was most surprised when the fake skin was dump
As the days went by, Casper took a leave of absence from the office, and spent time with his son. They would play basketball together, visit the park, practice their fighting skills and even eat ice cream. However, he made sure to have dinner together with his son and Jenna, no matter how tired they were. As the subsequent days passed, Jenna only saw less of Casper because he never slept in his room. He would sneak into his son's room, sit on the small sofa and watch him sleep for hours till he dozed off. He would also ensure to sneak out before his son woke up. On the third day, Jenna was tired of it because she felt that Casper was avoiding her since she kept asking about what was decided on by the seniors. Casper was about to meet Caddaric in the gym when Jenna blocked his way. "Casp, what happened with the seniors?"Casper paused for a while, his eyes darkened slightly. "Nothing I can't handle. Rex will be coming for Caddaric in two days. There's a lot he has to learn,” Casper a
Casper saw his guests off. When he was about to return to his room, Hunter approached him. “I sent Denzel to Caleb.”Casper Could only assume that Hunter thought the Blade seniors were coming for his son, thereby letting Caleb come for him. However, there was one thing he didn't like. He spoke coldly. “His name is Caddaric Blade. Get him back.”“Okay,” Hunter said and turned to go back to the bodyguard's lounge, where he would put a call through to Caleb, when Casper asked behind him.“Can I ask you a question?” His tone was slightly softer than before.“Anything,” Hunter turned around and faced him.“Do you think that she loves me?” Casper asked hopefully. Hunter had a better experience with women. His advice also brought Jenna back. Whichever way, Hunter knew better than not to raise Casper’s hope or break it. Their relationship was the most complicated he had ever seen.“There is a way to find out but that would be after this ordeal is over.” Hunter wasn't going to respond with word
Grandpa had decided to stay away when Casper announced to get married to Donna. It was going to be a miserable marriage so grandpa was happy. The unfortunate girl loses after all. Unfortunately, another announcement was made by Donna and grandpa knew that it was because of the unfortunate girl because, he also heard that she attended the engagement party. Grandpa was displeased. Casper killed his son because of that girl and now, he wanted them to be married? Over his dead body would that happen. As soon as he heard the news, he sat in his jet after keeping his wife in a safe place, arriving just in time for the meeting to commence. This time around, he was going to break them apart with death. Not killing Jenna because that would only allow Casper to get revenge for her. He would kill Casper and take back everything. Grandpa was back to get revenge. He looked a little thinner and his long gray hair had been trimmed together with his beard. He wore a casual all-white shirt and trou
Casper was jumbled. Since when did Jenna become obsessed with him? He was granting her wish and yet, she won't leave. Whichever way, he was done with her. “Yes, you are. Unless you want me to call the guards.”Jenna was startled by his seriousness but then, what did she have to lose? She would just provoke him if begging wouldn't work. Afterall, Casper would never hurt her. He owed her his life. “You’ll call the guards on me?” She smirked and asked.Casper was baffled by the quick change in her conduct but responded curtly, “yes.”“Alright,” she nodded her head.Casper was surprised when she walked around his bed and pulled open the drawer. Indeed, he had changed the bed last year but still had drawers made at the side. “What are you doing?” He asked in irritation. She didn't respond and brought out a gun. She took her time and began loading it with bullets. Casper felt a strange fear in his heart, that wiped the anger he felt before.“Put that down,” he strutted towards her and tri
On his way home, Casper received multiple calls from the Blade seniors and the Wreaths but didn't answer any of them. He couldn't face them until he made a decision since his guts told him that Jenna wasn't who he thought she was.Denzel kept asking questions till they arrived at the manor. Casper went to his room with Denzel while Hunter waited with the bodyguards in their lounge. As soon as Denzel saw Jenna, disappointment flashed in his eyes.“You stayed with Mr Blade and left me. Dad isn't answering my calls either.” He felt neglected ever since they got to Manhattan. The guilt-stricken Jenna walked to the boy and cupped his cheeks in her palms but he moved away. He hated that and she knew it but couldn't hold back because he was too cute.“Don't do that. What are you doing here? Does dad know that you are with another man?” Denzel asked and Jenna glanced at Casper, instantly lowering her gaze. He had taken off his sunglasses and his eyes burned like fire, it was scary. Jenna’s hea
