Chapter 314

Author: Cozy Season
The doctor anxiously dialed Juan's number.

"Mr. Nichols, your wife is bleeding heavily, but the blood reserves have already been moved. Please, come and see her one last time."

In the operating room, doctors and nurses rushed around the table. Debra lay on the operating table, her life hanging in the balance. She thought that perhaps a word of concern from Juan would bring her some comfort in her final moments.

But instead, his cold, cruel voice echoed in her ears. "She's not yet? Call me when she's gone."

Debra snapped open her eyes, her back drenched with sweat. The warm, sticky blood, the cold scalpel, and the smell of antiseptic felt so real.

"Had a nightmare?" Marion said.

Debra realized she had been resting her head on his shoulder.

"I must have fallen asleep," she murmured, fatigue etched on her face.

The surgery was still ongoing. Marion suggested, "I'll take you home. My people will stay here and keep us updated."

Debra shook her head. "I'm worried about Ralph."

    "Hold on tight," Marion said, flooring the accelerator.Debra quickly fastened her seatbelt, her heart pounding in her chest as the car sped through the night. Marion ran red lights without hesitation.When they arrived at their destination, the house was a mess. Ben and several injured bodyguards were seated in the living room. As soon as they saw Debra, they all stood up."Madam!" Ben approached her, his voice grave. "Juan only took Stanley.""Where is Rosalie?""Still in the basement.""I'll go take a look."Marion walked ahead of her, his stride swift and purposeful. He was worried that Rosalie might do something desperate to harm Debra.As soon as the door opened, Rosalie lunged at Debra. But before she could get close, Marion stepped in, kicking her back with a swift, precise motion.Rosalie stumbled, pleading, "Please, let Stanley go."She had been locked up alone for less than half an hour, and the darkness was driving her almost insane."Juan took Stanley. Did he do

    "Okay."Ben placed a basin of cold water and two towels beside Marion. With practiced efficiency, Marion soaked the towels, wrung them out, and placed one gently on Debra's forehead. He then carefully adjusted the blanket around her."When will the doctor arrive?""In about ten minutes.""Get a thermometer and some fever reducers." Marion looked at Debra, who was in agony, and added, "And a box of painkillers.""I'm on it," Ben acknowledged, swiftly exiting the room.Marion tenderly wiped Debra's face. He couldn't imagine how much discomfort she was in, but seeing her like this pained him deeply."Child..." Debra mumbled in her sleep.In her dream, she was trapped in that operating room, surrounded by blood. In a white dress, she desperately banged on the door, screaming for help. "Save the child, Juan!"Suddenly, the door swung open, revealing Juan. His face was dark with anger, his eyes cold and cruel. He reached out and grabbed her by the neck, his voice filled with malice.

    Juan sat across from Stanley, his face shrouded in the dim, flickering lights of the abandoned factory. The atmosphere was thick with danger and unease, the silence broken only by the muffled pleas of Stanley, his words smothered by the tape across his mouth.Juan gave Joe a nod, and the latter stepped forward, ripping the tape off Stanley's mouth."Help! Help!" Stanley screamed, but there was no response, only the cold echo of his own desperation.Joe reminded him, "We're out in the suburbs, and it's midnight. No one will come to your rescue, and no one will hear you.""What do you want? Juan, I helped you. How can you turn on me like this?" Stanley snapped.Juan ignored his childish outburst. Joe swiftly took Stanley's phone, unlocked it, and handed it to Juan.Juan scrolled through the photos in the album, his gaze growing colder with each passing second. Finally, he reached over, opened a nearby shredder, and tossed the phone inside. The shredder roared to life, the sound of

    Stanley froze, his eyes widening in surprise as several figures surrounded him in a tight circle.Marion showed no interest in it. He turned and walked out of the abandoned factory, his voice indifferent as he said, "I'll leave this to you. Teach Mr. Frazier a good lesson.""Got it."The place was soon filled with wails and pleas for mercy.As dawn broke, Debra groggily woke up, her eyes fluttering open as she stretched languidly in her bed. As her vision cleared, she saw a bruised and battered figure before her. She blinked, rubbing her eyes to ensure she wasn't dreaming.Stanley was tied up, his face swollen and bruised beyond recognition. He wore a pitiful, resentful expression."Stanley?" she asked, her voice filled with disbelief.Stanley had been pampered all his life, and aside from a brief stint in prison, he had never known true hardship. Seeing his once-handsome face so battered was a shocking first."I've brought him back," Marion said, sitting on the bed. "How you h

    Marion's arm was robust, his muscles taut beneath his shirt. As Debra steadied herself against him, she could almost feel his heartbeat and breaths.She pulled her hand back. "Sorry, I didn't steady myself.""I've got you. You won't fall."A maid entered the room, handing him a set of brand-new clothes. Marion placed them on a nearby table and turned to Debra. "I'll wait for you outside."Debra nodded, her body still warm from the fever last night. She was covered in a thin layer of sweat. Only after Marion stepped out did she head to the bathroom to wash off the remnants of her illness.Outside the door, Marion listened to the sound of water running, the warmth of Debra's touch still lingering on his arm. He swallowed hard.After a while, Debra emerged from the bathroom, dressed in clean clothes."I'm ready. Let's go."She wore a crisp casual shirt and jeans, her hair still damp and cascading in waves over her shoulders. Marion approached her, gently gathering her hair in his

    Debra looked at Ralph, her eyes filled with concern. "Uncle Ralph, have you thought this through?"She feared that Ralph might come to regret his decision later, but Ralph's expression was resolute."This beast dares hit his father. What else would he hesitate to do? Today, not only will I sever our father-son relationship, but I'm also calling a press conference to announce my divorce from Rosalie. From now on, none of my inheritance will go to them."Stanley was devastated. "Dad! You can't do this to me. Everything in the Frazier family should rightfully be mine. How can you leave it all to outsiders?"Ralph's eyes narrowed. "Outsiders? Everything in the Frazier family is from my brother's legacy. All these years, everything you've eaten and drunk was money brought by Debra. How can you shamelessly turn against her?"He had once thought Stanley was merely troublesome, but he never imagined Stanley would commit such an unforgivable act.His voice was like ice as he declared, "I

    Debra shifted uncomfortably under Ralph's gaze. "It's not what you think about Marion and me.""Everyone can see the way Marion feels about you. But he is a man with a past, and that past is stained with blood," Ralph said with concern. "All I want is for you to be happy and safe. A life with Marion will never be tranquil. If there's even a shred of doubt, don't walk down that aisle. Our family has more than enough wealth to ensure you a comfortable life."Debra offered him a reassuring smile. "I understand your concerns, Uncle Ralph. But please, focus on your recovery. I can take care of myself."Ralph nodded in agreement.Stepping out of the hospital room, Debra spotted Marion and Randy deep in conversation at the far end of the corridor. She decided not to interrupt them.Ralph's words echoed in her mind, casting a shadow of doubt over her feelings for Marion."Debra!" A voice suddenly came from behind her.Debra turned to see Erica rushing over, still dressed in her evening

    Marion turned around, his brow furrowing slightly as he noticed the commotion behind him. Cathryn was trying to make her way towards him, but Randy intercepted her. "Miss Bernard, you shouldn't be out of bed. Doctor's orders. Let me help you back."He had been there all night and worried that she might faint again under yet another stimulation."Marion, I need to talk to you alone," Cathryn pleaded, her voice barely above a whisper.Her eyes were rimmed red, threatening to spill over with tears at any moment. However, Marion's gaze was fixed elsewhere, and he completely ignored her plea.Cathryn followed his gaze to see Debra standing behind her. She bit her lip, a pang of jealousy coursing through her.Randy, noticing Debra as well, muttered under his breath, "Oh gosh, this is turning into a battlefield."With a sudden burst of determination, Cathryn walked up to Debra and grabbed her hand. "Mrs. Nichols, can you ask Marion to talk to me? I need to clear things up."She cried

    "Dad." Liza rushed to the bed, grabbing Bert's hand.In her mind, Bert was a stern old grump. He was always tough and sharp.But now, the illness had taken a toll on him. He had shrunk, and his hair had gone gray overnight.Fermin stood behind her, watching with pain.In fact, Bert had been ill for a while now. He had been grooming Fermin for years.But once he'd caught wind of Fermin's plans, Bert would rather kill him and trash their legacy than let him join the Illuminati.Fermin knew this day was coming. Liza didn't. Bert never wanted her to.She froze, feeling like his hand had twitched. She stopped crying and spun to Fermin."Did you see it? Dad moved..." she exclaimed.Fermin clapped a hand over her mouth, a move that confused her.He shook his head, warning her off. She nodded fast, signaling she'd keep quiet.Fermin checked the door and eased his hand off. "Dad's fine. Let's head home, alright?"Liza glanced at Bert with reluctance but wiped her tears.

    Drake's mouth hung open, but no words came out."I swapped the drug for saline," Juan said. "You're on your own tonight. You've only had one dose, so there might still be a chance. If you don't wanna die here, suck it up. Don't let Kale die for nothing."Juan dropped that and left the room.Drake slumped on the bed. Old memories came flooding back, from their first meeting to their camaraderie. They had been through thick and thin together.If it hadn't been for him, Kale wouldn't have been dead....In the hospital, Liza kept watch outside the ICU where Bert lay.Two black-suited guards blocked the door. Even after surgery, they wouldn't let her in."When can I see him?" she asked, clenching her fists.The guards stood like statues, ignoring her."That's my dad," she shouted, pounding their chests. "I need to be with him. Move. Get out of my way.""Stop it." Fermin strode up, grabbing her swinging fist. "You're an Eaton. Act like it."He turned and slapped a guard hard. "Y

    Juan arrived at a villa on Seamar City's outskirts. It was where Drake was locked up.It was pitch black in the room, with only a bed. The windows were nailed shut.The moment Drake handed over the stone, he'd guessed his fate. The Illuminati had rules for traitors: the blessing ritual.But that "blessing" was just injecting their latest drug into turncoats. They would be used as free guinea pigs. Death was the best outcome. Surviving meant real torture.It didn't hurt. Rather, it felt like heaven. That was why they called it a blessing."When did they shoot you up with that stuff?" Juan asked.Drake leaned back on the bed, nonchalant. "I gave them the stone. It doesn't matter to you. Just give me the drug."By night, he was a mess.The stuff could ease the pain for an hour. Then hell would kick in. Once the cravings hit, it felt like ants gnawing his bones.The pain wired into his nerves. At its worst, he'd bash the wall, tempted to bite his tongue off.He couldn't leave wit

    To the bishop, Debra and her crew were small fry.A hundred years ago, the Four Great Families might've been untouchable. But now? Their roots were shaky.The Illuminati, on the other hand, had grown unstoppable.For the stone, he'd see them and let them feel the Illuminati's might. It was something callows like them couldn't touch."Tell them I pick the time and place," he said. "Get the stone ready. If it's fake, they'll get the harshest punishment from God.""Yes, Master," Michael replied, turning to leave.Lara stood up to protest, "I'm against this. We should take the chance to wipe them out and take their assets."In her mind, the four families were nothing. When they could snatch what they wanted, there was no need for deals or games."God spares all," the bishop muttered. "I'll give them a shot to live. If they bow, why kill them?"Lara fell silent, but Frederic stepped out of the shadows. He asked, "What about the stone Drake gave us?""Only one of the two stones is

    Night settled in deep.Debra and the crew were still waiting for Michael's reply."Still nothing? They don't buy it, do they?" Erica paced, antsy."Give it time. They'll bite," Debra said, clutching her phone.She had promised Kale she would bring Drake back. No breaking that.A text finally pinged her phone. It was Michael.Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Like Debra said, the Illuminati couldn't rule out her having the real stone.If theirs was fake, Michael and his crew couldn't afford the fallout."Marion, it's on you now," Debra said.The Houston family had military muscle on tap. The Potter family owned elite guards and intel. Erica and Randy were solid backups.But this meeting? Debra had to go herself."Does it have to be now? Maybe wait till you're healed?" Erica said.Debra shook her head. "Drake is at risk every day he's with them. I can't take that chance. Just like they can't risk us holding the stone.""She's right," Randy jumped in. "Drag this out, and who

    "What're you looking at?" Lara asked, stepping out and spotting Michael by the window."Debra says the stone Drake gave us is fake," he replied."What? No way." Drake shot up from his seat."Are you messing with us?" Lara's sharp gaze landed on him."No. Debra's talking nonsense," Drake insisted."We'll see," Michael said, unruffled.Debra was offering the stone on the condition of meeting with their leader. It fit her style."She thinks she can just waltz in and see our master?" Lara sneered."The stone's a big deal to him. I bet he'll agree," Michael replied, shutting his phone."Don't tell me you're sweet on Debra," she hissed. "You keep letting her off. Don't wanna kill her, huh?""Unlike you, I don't get off on killing," he countered. "If she's not in my way, why bother? You're out there slaughtering, just making enemies for the Illuminati. You're venting rather than serving.""You don't get it. I'm building fear for the Illuminati," she justified herself. "They need to

    Oscar set down the receiver and threw his hands up. "I'm not resisting. Don't spook my staff," he said.Chace tried to step in, but Oscar's look stopped him.This incident was major. Almost half of Flesta's people had fallen victim.Everyone at the company, Chace included, got hauled in for questioning. As the head, Oscar was the main target.The line went dead, and Debra's heart sank."Those bastards," Randy cursed, "hitting us on both sides. No wonder the Illuminati has been quiet. They have been gunning for our partners.""They're smart," Debra said. "Can't take us head-on, so they go after our allies. They want everyone to see partnering with us as a dead end. If we let this slide, we're doomed eventually.""What should we do?" Erica stomped, fuming. "We just sit here and watch them pick off our friends one by one?""They're showing us what happens if we cross them. They want us to bow. The only way out is to flip the script and strike first.""Strike first? What does th

    Seeing Debra's worried look, Marion said, "You should just focus on healing and leave the rest to us. We might not match the Illuminati, but they won't mess with us randomly here in Seamar City."The Four Great Families had ruled Seamar City for a century. Although the former heads had faded, the new generation was sharper and stronger. They could hold off the Illuminati's push.Debra's phone rang. It was Oscar calling."You free? I've got something to tell you," he said.Debra put it on the speaker. No one could guess the aim of his call.In Flesta, the Odom family's business was booming again. He should have been busy with work."What's up?" she asked."There's big trouble in Flesta," he replied. "We didn't want to bug you, but it's spiraling out of control. We're out of moves.""What happened?" She had a bad feeling.Oscar paused. "A new drug has popped up in Flesta. Tons of our staff got hooked, just like regular folks. The police are on it now. We checked our products and

    Debra stared at the pendant.What had happened yesterday came flooding back.Kale was gone, and the fact hit her hard."It's my fault," she said in agony. "If he hadn't gone with me, he would have been alive.""Everyone makes their calls," Marion soothed her. "If there's blame, it's on the Illuminati. I was terrified, almost losing you.""I felt like you were nearby, so I wasn't afraid," she said, leaning into him. "They'll pay for hurting Drake and killing Kale. I'll make sure of it.""No matter what happens, we're in this together," he said.Exhaustion took over. She closed her eyes and drifted off.When she woke up, it was already noon the next day. Her injury kept her from moving much.Everyone gathered outside her bedroom. William came in to check on her."You're fine. Just change the dressings on time," he said, packing up his kit. "You guys can come in now."Debra adjusted her clothes and leaned against the headboard. "Sorry to trouble you.""We're in this together,"
