تسجيل الدخولChapter 272 Author's POV.Jessica's brain, what Lydia said, shifted her back away from her wondering what she was thinking by asking her to do such a thing, as much as Jessica still feels wrong about it.“Are you out of your mind?” Jessica asked firmly with a sharp tone.“It was a mistake.” Lydia replied, nodding her head.“You just said that the drugs don't belong to him alone, but they have to do with some local mafia who already gave him money.”“And yet you still went ahead and burnt them all?” Jessica asked with her eyes wide open.“I was angry and didn't know when I got angry and set it on fire; it was already on fire before my husband took notice and informed me about it.”“Please help me this once; I know you can get it done for me.” Lydia replied with her voice shaking."What?…"“That's thirty million dollars worth of drugs that you got burnt on, Lydia, and here you are asking me to help you deal with it.”“How is that possible, huh?… Where do you expect me
Chapter 271 Jessica's POV.Having gotten home from shopping with Willow after a long while at the supermarket and going out shortly with Rosella, I was already tired as hell, and Willow was rushing to her room.I walked straight to the dining room and sat down with the guards standing beside me. I raised my head facing him and sighed."Any calls?" I asked curiously.“No, ma'am, the boss just sent a text that he's busy and would call you soon when he's done with what he's doing.” The guard replied, nodding his head.I exhaled and stood up, heading upstairs with the guard walking out of the house. I entered the room and went straight to the restroom. After some minutes I came out, heading to the closet, putting on new clothes.I jumped on the bed and picked up my phone, going to scroll through the internet when a call came through. I smiled and answered, seeing the caller ID."Hey, Lydia." I answered calmly.“Jessica, are you at home?” Lydia asked.“Yes, I am.” I replied w
Chapter 270 Author's POV.Lucian walked past the officers with their guns still high up, pointing at Damon and Kelvin. Officer Kraig and Stone then came closer to his side as he turned, facing officer Kraig.“Tell your men to lower their guns; I'm going to open it.” Lucian requested with a calm voice.Stone hissed and told Lucian to open the container and show what's inside, as the officers wouldn't be lowering their guns but instead would kill his men if they tried obstructing the process.Lucian shook his head and walked up to the container, opening it, just as the officers and everyone else curious all stared from their side, waiting to see what was actually inside, which is only known to Gray and Lucian.Officers Kraig and Stone then walked in ahead of Lucian, seeing something big wrapped with both of them turning at the same time, facing Lucian.“What's this, Mr. Lucian?”. Officer Stone asked curiously.“That's it, of course… Were you both expecting somethi
Chapter 269. Lucian's POV.We arrived at the port and rushed up straight to the office meeting Damon and two officers standing together; I walked on with Gray and the others with the officers, both immediately calling my name.I raised my head, staring at them, wondering if I had encountered any of them before. For some seconds I stood looking at them until…“Boss, boss.” Damon called with a calm voice.I snapped back and walked up to him.“What's going on, Damon?" "Are these the officer's?” Gray asked curiously, staring at the officers.“Yes, they are, Officer Kraig and Stone.” Damon replied quickly.Hearing their name, I stared at them firmly, wondering where I had heard the names, as they sounded familiar to my ears.“Yes, boss, they are the ones from last time.” Damon stated, nodding his head.I chuckled.“Here I was thinking some trouble has risen, but instead it's you, Officer Kraig. I wondered how you knew my name.”"Mr. Lucian…”“Long time no see.” Offic
Chapter 268 Author's POV.“What's the recent update with the containers being shipped in?”. Lucian asked with a firm voice.“Well, they're on their way, although I can't give a direct location, but they already are on the sea.” Kevin replied, nodding his head.Lucian sighed, nodding his head as he had sent Damon to the yard where the container would be dropped off, making sure that nothing goes wrong, with promises of delivery to another syndicate.Gray then informed them that Erick and Ryder were still working together, as his men saw them in a restaurant with an unknown individual; Ryder had handed the man a briefcase.“Are you sure?” Lucian asked curiously.“Yes, I'm certain of it.” Gray responded.He then brought out his phone and stretched it to Lucian, staring at it as the picture of Ryder, Erick, and a man seated together.Lucian then handed the phone to Carl, who stared at it as well and handed it over to Kelvin.“It seems Ryder is grave with his dealings with Er
Chapter 267 Jessica's POV.I woke up looking at the other side then meeting eyes with Lucian who already awake going through his phone and some documents on his leg, he smiled staring back at me.“How was your night?”. Lucian asked calmly.“It was fine”. I replied softly.Lucian nods turning his head away, just looking at him with a smile on his face my heart flustered, being with my family is all I want to just to happy and living in peace which hasn't been easy to have.I exhaled.I stood up and stepped down from the bed straight to the bathroom, after some minutes I came out of having taken a quick bath, I stared at Lucian again who is still on his phone.“You woke up early?”“Something going on?”. I asked curiously.“Not really, just some normal work stuff and others to deal with quickly, I have to work in it now else I'll surely be too busy for it later”. Lucian replied taking a deep breath.“That's true”. I then turn and walk to the door wanting to leave…“Whe
