LOGINChapter 264 Author's POV.“Where is Novela?” Michael asked curiously with a sharp tone.“Boss, she's at the office.” The PA replied quickly with a calm voice.“Take me there.”Michael sighed with an angry face as he thought about what to say to Novela if he got hold of her; although he had been advised not to make things hard for her, he still couldn't handle her arrogance.A few minutes later, they arrived at the Novela office without meeting any guards. Michael smirked and told the PA to keep the car running while he went in alone and dealt with Novela.He stepped out of the car, headed straight for the office, and entered the meeting. Novela was going through some documents as she raised her hand, staring at him.“Michael?” Novela calls with her eyes wide open.Novela chuckled.“What?… Why do you look so surprised?” Michael asked with a sharp tone.“What do you want?” Novela responded.“I'm not going to warn you again about it; stay away from Lucian and also from my
Chapter 263Author's POV.Micheal stepped out of the office with his PA as they both headed straight to the car, only to meet Drake standing beside his car with a document in his hand. Seeing him, Micheal hissed.“David…”“What are you doing here?” Michael asked curiously with a sharp tone.“Come -on, Dad, don't be so harsh on me. I made a little mistake, and I'm sorry for it. Can you please unfreeze my account now? There are a lot of things I want to do that I've been unable to.”“My car is at the police station, and I need to get it back; they're asking to be paid.” David said with a firm voice. “So what? I believe you can handle such things, and even if you can't, then just let me take a cab or taxi and go to where you want to.” Michael responded, nodding his head.“Are you sure about it?”“I'm your son; what would others say if they saw me taking a cab, huh?” David asked in a sharp tone.Michael chuckled.“Why are you really here, David?”“Do you know why I'm here today?” I asked
Chapter 262Author's POV.California.Ring…“Hello.” Michael answered.“It's me, boss, Erick.” Erick said.“Why are you calling me?… I thought I had asked you not to call me unless necessary; you'll only call me when Lucian has been dealt with”. Micheal spoke with a calm voice.“Sorry, boss, but dealing with Lucian isn't easy; he's a hard target to kill. He always finds his way around things and ends up killing those who wanted to kill him.”“I tried my best and put significant effort in dealing with him, but, he always somehow manages to survive. I'm already running out of options.” Erick implied taking a deep breath.“What about Ryder?”“The one you said you're working with, what about him?” Michael asked curiously with a calm voice.Erick hissed.“His name is Ryder.”“He's not very useful; Ryder fears Lucian, he always thinks twice before he acts, causing delay in dealing with Lucian, and relying on him alone isn't going to work.”Michael chuckled.“You volunteered to take up this m
Chapter 261Lucian's POV.This time all I could think about is overcoming all obstacles and living peacefully, Jessica. Thinking about Gray's words, it seems that everything is fine, but still I feel that something else is missing that he didn't dare speak about.We all rushed rushing to see it was causing such panic that made my man come over breathing like he had a knife placed on his throat.While rushing over to get there, a scream suddenly came from a ward beside us, drawing our attention as we all stood immediately wondering what was going on with Gray, then walked back to me slowly.“What's going on?” I asked curiously as Gray stood beside me.“It seems someone is in trouble, and the voice sounded like that of a lady, but it doesn't actually concern us right now as we have other things to be bothered about and not this one.” Gray replied, taking a deep breath.Gray then turned, wanting to leave, as I also decided to head to see who the so-called man was. When the scream sounded
Chapter 260Author's POV.The underground has always been off the radar, dealing with businesses that the other outer group is unable to handle, although it's work secretly; the cops did manage to get in, causing an uprising against Kelvin.Kelvin's sudden appearance this time caused a change of power, as those already in charge during his disappearance were not willing to let go of the power and influence they got.Kelvin showed himself as he moved around with Cathy, his right hand, who has been working under Lucian until taking over the underground business and making a name for himself.Eyes are on Kelvin, and fingers are pointing at him as he walks through the streets, deliberately drawing attention to himself to draw out Lucas, who seems to be the current boss of the underground.“Are you sure about this, boss?” Cathy asked curiously as they stood staring at each other.“Yes, Cathy! If I don't do this, then the prey might not show himself, and things would be more complicated tha
Chapter 259Author's POV Deva was still there. No fear in his eyes. Just respect, and something else. Regret. “You’re good,” Deva said. “Better than I thought.” I got to my feet, wiping blood off my cheek. It wasn’t his. “So are you. But you’re outnumbered now.”Deva looked around. Four of his men were down. Two were retreating down the fire escape. Gray had one pinned against the wall with a knife to his throat. Damon had the other in an arm locked in the hallway. Kelvin had the hallway locked down.Deva nodded slowly. “Yeah. I am.”He raised his hands. “Truce?”I didn’t lower his gun. “You don’t get a truce after you walk into my safehouse.”“Then you’ll have to kill me,” Deva said. “And if you do, my brother takes over. He’s worse. He doesn’t do warehouses. He does families. Kids. The whole block.”My jaw clenched. That was the play. The threat. I stared at Deva for a long moment.Finally, I lowered the gun. "Get out” I said. “Take your men. Tonight we’re even. Tomorrow, we
