All Chapters of The Crimson Trail of Death: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

"Keep me informed of things, Nate. I want to make sure he pays. That Dominic pays for all he had done, every single bit of it..." I said, hanging up the call after."Mam..." Colt called up my attention. I knew he must be curious about my actions and why I distanced myself before I received the call, but I didn't want any ears overhearing my words."Let's go now, Colt. Seems the other men won't be coming anytime soon..." I said, as he left a nod. I made my way outside the cafe, entering my car's back seat. This time, Colt decided to sit in the same car with me, but he sat at the front seat.The driver started the engine, and throughout the drive, Colt was on the walkie-talkie, giving orders to the other men guarding me as we drove further. The car leading the way came to a sudden pause."What happened? Why are we stopping?" Colt questioned, asking the front car driver through the walkie-talkie."There is a truck blocking the road. It seems it's under maintenance..." the driver replied.

After taking a bite from the roasted fish, I made my way inside the hut, sitting on the mat as I found myself still shivering slightly.I wished I had my phone right now in my grasp; I would have simply called for help, but I had dropped it off back at the scene when I heard the gunshots.It was already late at night, but I wondered what Adrian must still be doing outside. "Are we really safe here in this forest? I mean, are there no tigers or scorpions...?"I wondered, what if it was one of these animals that got to us first before those assailants did?Some hours passed as I waited for Adrian to make his way in. A loud thunder echoed through the area, and I could tell from it that it was going to rain heavily tonight."Why are you still awake...?" I heard a voice snapping me as I watched Adrian make his way inside. But he was right; why was I still awake waiting for him in the first place? "Wait, was I worried?" I thought... No, that's not it.I just wanted to see if he wasn't plann

"Colt?" I uttered, only for him to move in haste, his hands silencing my words. "We don't want to wake them up, ma'am," he whispered, slowly removing his hands, which were placed on my mouth.I noticed some of my men also coming out of the dark, shadowed areas.I had thought Colt was dead. He was bleeding right there. When I saw him last, he seemed like he was surely going to die. But now, seeing him right here in front of me brought ease, thinking his mother and little sister wouldn't have to face a world without him—the world I had faced without my dad."Colt... you're alive..." I said."Of course, ma'am. Those wounds weren't ones to be the end of me. Back in the army, I've faced greater wounds than that before," he said, gesturing even in the situation we were in."Adrain, sir, seems to be unconscious, and the bullet wound in his leg is quite deep. I would say he needs treatment immediately," one of my men who went to check on Adrain said."We have to move now," Colt said as he hel

[Dominic's POV]I entered the restaurant, my eyes scanning the whole area until they landed on him. I was here to see Damarc. After finally accepting the truth, it was high time I started making some moves, even though I wasn't strong enough yet to face Uncle Marc.I made my way, seating myself at the chair beside Damarc."Honestly, to think I would be invited over again for a discussion with Dominic De Santos... such an honor it must be," he said mockingly."Stop the act and tell me," I replied firmly. "You mentioned if I was ready to bring Uncle Marc down, I should call you up for help. So now, this is it. I want him to pay for what he did to my father."Damarc chuckled softly."Of course, I said that. And since you have decided to team up, don't you worry; Marc will be begging on his feet very soon," he said as he stood up. "Alright, everybody present here, I am so happy today, so I say food's on me!" he yelled.But honestly, what was wrong with him? Even though he was standing rig

I found myself still standing in the burial ground, hearing the words that left Angelica's mouth."After Mom visited me, she began coming over most of the time. As the bond that had broken between the two of us began to grow, I saw a reason to forgive her for what she had done. I thought maybe this was for the best—a new life with her. I was happy again. Not until I heard the news that she had been murdered. I ran to the scene but wasn't even able to get a last glance at my mother. Even at her burial, I wasn't allowed to go close. I only watched her two children stand there with the man she married," Angelica explained.So she also came to Mom's burial. That day, Father and Uncle Marc had decided to carry out Mom's burial without any crowd, only the De Santos members. I think Uncle Marc claimed it was a tradition; maybe that was why I didn't see her that day."Until I met Zack and the rest of the children. I got a job and decided to live a normal life with them, but I was robbed of th
