登入Ray couldn't believe it at first. What beef does a university student have with him? He thought to himself. He knew he'd become more famous since he took over the City Council. Enemies were bound to be against him, he was sure of that, but a student..? He drove faster to the Washington State General station and within minutes, he got there. Lucky enough, he didn't come with any entourage. Just him, and his Range Rover. “That was fast, Mr Ray!” Superintendent Dan jerked up from his seat as soon as Ray walked into his office. His voice laced with surprise and a surge of laughter. “Please..” the Chief of Police gestured towards the leather chair and added “have a seat”. Ray didn't utter a word as he sat rigidly on the seat , watching as the man sat down too. He glanced at the office, taking notes of the portraits of government officials on the wall. His eyes settled on a painting that was placed carefully on the bottom of the wall. He knew that art work because
Dave muffled against the tape on his mouth,..the inaudible sounds were laced with terror and fear as he widened his eyes, gazing at his brother who stood with a satisfied smirk on his face. He moved his arms relentlessly despite his hands being tied behind, wanting to escape the sight he'd already beheld. Jeremy walked towards Sergeant Samantha's corpse and skillfully pulled out the dagger buried in her back. He searched around her body for any mobile device because he never trusted that she was in this revenge path alone. Took her pistol , her hidden badge and her cellphone. “Relax Dave. I'm gonna untie you soon and we'll get out of here. Just need to …uhh..check .., you know, tie up any loose ends that'll point this back to me”. His words broke unfocused as he glanced through her phone, checking tracking apps and other stuff. Then, he broke the phone into two, threw the two halves on the floor and smashed it into pieces under his boot . Next, he took out a colored
“Empty yourself. Whatever hidden tool or weapon you have on you, drop it now!” Sergeant Samantha's voice rang from behind him. Jeremy could hear the cocking of a pistol and a dragging noise as she said those words. “Dropping my weapons when you still have one on you? Not happening “. He spoke mildly, turning slowly to face her. Her right hand gripped the pistol, pointing it towards him. The other hand held the back of Dave's neck , forcing him to face down as he knelt beside her with his wrists tied behind him. A silicone tape was placed over his mouth so he wouldn't talk. The sight of his younger brother unnerved Jeremy immediately. He didn't look beaten or battered, although his shirt seemed rumpled around the collar as if that part had been pulled a thousand times. His hair was disheveled and had particles of sand and dirt on it. He looked sweaty but his countenance was stoic. “I make the rules here, Jeremy. I directed you to this place and I have your brot
I stayed still on the bed , shocked that he was home all these while. How long had he been here? How much did he hear? I battled with the questions roaming in my mind while trying to act at ease. “You won't like my next action if I dared to repeat what I just asked” Oh God! Everything would totally be discovered today! I was sure he'd figured out that my mom was staying with Don Juan, I was sure he'd connected the dots in his head. He'd never seen or heard me speak to her before and I was sure that he heard everything. I fidgeted as his tone increased a bit and I turned to sight him, leaning on the door leading to the closet area. He was only on a white singlet that clung to his torso and black sweater pants,his hands dipped into his pockets. “Erm….my mother. It's my mom”. I wanted to divert the discussion and ask why he was home by that time, but his warning rang in my ear. This wasn't the Ray that'd been sweet and lovely to me these past few days,
Lorna's POV ~I left the spot and went back to class. I already knew that some people would see my name and mock me for it. Yes, because why's the Mafia heir’s wife too broke that she hasn't completed her full tuition fees? My mind flashed back to my mother. Our relationship recently had been on a thin lose thread and what's probably still holding it was the fact that she birthed me. My life was this way because of her and my late dad. Now I'm the one dealing with it all alone, getting involved in dangerous games and married to a man that now rules a high crime organisation . She had probably forgotten that I still owed the school and who knows how her relationship with Don Juan is now. Does she even know the man is now threatening me because I couldn't kill Ray? Is she still staying with him? These thoughts rampaged my head as I walked back to the class not knowing when I bumped into someone. A hard hand pushed me back in a forceful way that I almost f
Jeremy wasn't himself throughout that day. He needed to see Dave face-to-face as he wasn't picking his calls. He'd texted him so many times yet he got no response. He couldn't imagine how Lorna must have said whatever she said to Dave. How did she even find out that was his brother? The question bothered him so much and he knew that he needed to find out how the conversation played out. He'd concluded on how he would ask Don Draco for a 2-day permit. Just as he kept pacing around in his room and wallowing in his thoughts , his phone buzzed of notification and he quickly opened it thinking Dave had responded to one of his texts only to notice the message was from Don Juan; “You're going to lure that shitty heir to my city. I have already planned it out. Call me later for more details “. He sighed. Is this envy, revenge or is this man obsessed with seeing Ray dead? Jeremy wondered. He'd gotten into a feud with his only family because of his Mafia activities and yet, he'
The members of the Headers had gathered in a secluded hall at Don Juan's mansion, for an urgent meeting. The Don was to let them in on his recent plans and doings and of course, how they'll key into the next goal in case the first one flops. Staring at everyone in the faces, Juan realized h
Married? Jeremy shrugged, but that was funny by the way. "You mean your crush is married? That means she was probably in a relationship while you were busy nursing feelings for her?" "No...not at all. I know her so well, she was never in a relationship, Jerry. The story isn't clear yet, b
Before Ray could get home, Draco and his men were already back. "Ray isn't back?" Draco first asked Jeremy, immediately he got inside the main house. "Not yet Don " He responded, standing like a statue before Draco . "I see". He paused and snapped his fingers. The moment he did that, L
The ring….the ring was what exposed me. "Stop with the lies, Lorna. Isn't that your marriage ring on your finger?" Owen pointed at it, as the ring glittered like a paid actor in that situation. Why was Owen doing that? What is his mission? I simply sighed, folding my hands whilst feelin
