Andre stared at the mansion for a while, and finally turned and walked toward the opposite mansion, which was higher than the one Drew was in. As he reached the other mansion with his bag, he kept climbing until he got to the roof. He positioned himself, took out his rifle from his bag, and pointed at the building. From his vantage point, he could see all the men stationed outside. Without wasting any time, he came up with a better idea. He knew that if he was the only one shooting, it wouldn't take long for them to figure out his location and take cover. So, he called for Soldier and the rest to join him in the same building. Once they were all there, he asked them to position themselves with their rifles and wait for his order. After pressing the button and hearing his phone ring, they were to begin shooting. By ensuring their vantage point, they could take down at least seventy men. Andre made his way to the back of the house. At this point, he pressed the button, and Soldier
The moment Julius and Melody rushed into the house, Drew turned his attention to both of them. He stared in surprise at Melody, and when Andre noticed Drew's distraction, he took the opportunity to slip one hand into his pocket and press the button before lifting it back up.Outside, where they had been waiting, Soldier finally received the signal. "It's time for us to go in," he said. "We need to be very careful. There may be hostages."They began making their way slowly and cautiously into the building. Julius's face contorted in horror as he stared at Drew and Valerie. His complexion turned pale as he had witnessed numerous dead bodies strewn across the ground while running inside.Although he worked for an investigating firm, Julius had never encountered such a sight before. He believed that Andre must have killed all these people just to reach Valerie. Looking at Andre, blood staining his arms and body, he gazed at Valerie and back at Andre, understanding that Andre truly loved
When they arrived at the hospital, Andre opened the door of the car and carried Valerie out. Afterward, he rushed her to the hospital. Right after that, Julius arrived, and a stretcher was brought for him. He placed Melody onto the stretcher, and she was also rushed into the hospital.As they took Valerie into a private ward, Andre sat by her side and watched as the doctor attended to her. Seeing that he had so much blood on his body, the doctor said, "You seem to be faring worse than she is. Why don't you get your injuries treated?""Okay," Andre said, not wanting Valerie to worry.Valerie lay on the bed with her eyes closed as she waited for the doctor to carry out different tests on her. Meanwhile, another doctor attended to Andre. He took off his jacket, and the injuries on his shoulder, arms, and face were treated.All the while, Valerie kept waiting for the results of her test. Andre had not said anything about her pregnancy so far, and a part of her was afraid that he was goin
While Andre and Valerie were still together in the hospital room, Julius walked in. Seeing how close they were, he coughed, and Andre turned to see him."Hi Andre," Julius greeted."Hi Julius," Andre replied."So, the doctor said Melody is going to live, but she's still unconscious," Julius informed."Oh, okay. Good for her," Andre responded."I'm sorry, Julius. I know everything that happened..." Andre apologized."No," Julius shook his head. "No, Andre, it's not your fault. There are some things that are your fault, though. But there are other things I take responsibility for. If I had not let Melody into my life, Valerie wouldn't have been put in so much danger.""No, you don't understand," Andre said. "Drew would not have sent her into your life if.....""Maybe not. Maybe he wouldn't have gone to the extent he did today. But I almost lost Valerie, and it's all my fault. I was so focused on chasing you and making sure you stayed away from my sister that I didn't even notice the ene
Andre took Valerie to the roof of the hospital. When they reached the top, she looked around and asked, "What is it you want to show me, Andre?" He moved closer to her and said, "Close your eyes."She smiled and obeyed, closing her eyes. Suddenly, she heard a bang, followed by another and then another. She kept hearing different sounds and realized they were fireworks. "Open your eyes," Andre said.Valerie opened her eyes and turned around as Andre directed her to face the direction of the sound. As she looked up at the sky, she saw vibrant colors and, finally, the words "Will you marry me?" popped up."Wow!" Valerie exclaimed in excitement. She turned to give Andre her reply, and at that moment, he went down on one knee, presenting her with a ring. "Yes, I'll marry you," Valerie said and stretched out her hand.Andre put the ring on her finger and then got up, pulling her into his arms for a hug. "I am beyond excited, Andre," Valerie said. "I didn't know you were ready for marri
EIGHTEEN YEARS LATERQueen woke up in the morning, opened the windows, looked through them, and smiled. Today was going to be a wonderful day because her fiancé, Bryce, was visiting. He belonged to a different gang called: "The Wild Stallions," and he was coming so they could finalize their engagement because she turned eighteen yesterday.She had been betrothed to him since she was ten, and ever since then, she had only had him in her heart. He was strong, charming, and everything she wanted. She believed that with him in her life, everything was going to be perfect.Queen was in her first year of college and very strong, just like her father. Andre Scorpion had trained her to be a very skilled fighter so she could take over from him when the time came.Her family, the Black Scorpions, had been the leaders of all the gangs for fifty years. However, a week ago, they handed over this position to another family. Despite that, they were still the strongest, richest, and most highly conn
Andre drove over to Sky Hills with his best friend and most trusted underling. They sat in his car, waiting. After a while, he looked at his time and then his best friend, Drew, and asked, "Are you certain that Bull will be here?""Of course, I would never lie to you," Drew replied. "He has bitten off more than he can chew, and this is the best opportunity. He should know that he doesn't stand a chance against the leader of the Black Scorpions. He is nothing before you."Andre nodded. "Yeah, today is the day he gets to say goodbye to this world. But what about backup?""They were waiting at the agreed location but they will be arriving very soon."While Andre and Drew were still waiting in the car, Andre noticed other men arriving in different cars with the Black Scorpion logo on their number plates. He smiled, "Good, backup is here." The words had barely left his mouth when they all began to shoot at his car."What is going on?" he exclaimed, looking at Drew. "Why are our men shoot
Andre wiped the blood off his jacket to hide his injury and concealed his gun. Slowly, he walked into the hospital premises. A young woman who appeared to be a doctor caught his attention. He overheard her giving a presentation, which seemed unusual. Coincidentally, the person she was presenting to asked her what she would do if she encountered a patient who had been shot.He listened intently as she explained her approach, and the person she was presenting to responded, "Good, you're hired." An idea suddenly occurred to him. He wanted to convince her to go with him, but he knew she wouldn't. She seemed so excited, and he didn't think she would want to go with him willingly. Left with no other choice, he decided that he was going to take her by force. He saw her rushing out to the gate and slowly walked towards her. He pointed his gun at her and said, "Don't move." When she saw him, she gasped in fear and wanted to scream, but he cocked his gun and said, "One word from you and you
