While planning to shop for winter and attend a yacht party, Rolph was informed of a possible intel concerning his investigation on Jolanta's kidnappers. Not wanting to leave all the fun to Nickkie who was the mercenary in charge of the undercover investigation, he and Derrick had traveled down to Orlando, where they found out that one of the demonic's boys had created his own small gang far away from home and was redirecting supplies. Though this was good news that will score him some points with the demonic, it was of no use to his purpose. They were already on their way home when Derrick was notified that Ben had gone off grid. He immediately dispatched people to look for him and his driver. "Do you think he ran?""I will kill him!" Panted Derrick in anger. He just couldn't believe Ben would be that stupid. The boy had nowhere to go. He made sure of that. It was one of the reasons he wanted to recruit him. Ben had no family and he had made sure to scare his

53South Padre Island was where it all started. Rolph had woken up early and walked down the beach, stopping at the exact spot where Leo Robert had approached and invited him to a party that would be happening later in the evening of that day. He had just arrived in Texas City to start learning under his uncle after multiple assasination attempts made it impossible for him to attend public school for his masters, having obtained degrees through online classes. He was new to Texas City and there was so much to explore. He was introduced to the Island by some guys at a party and had decided to see for himself. And he wasn't disappointed. South Padre Island was a beautiful place. Having lived all his life in the Marfa desert and just a few months in Newyork before the Demonic had him transported to Texas City because of the multiple assasination attempts, Rolph was delighted to find a place like Padre, where he could swim, ride the

Ignore this chapter please. ThanksDecember was the only time of the year every member of the Filipiak family got to see each other. Not necessarily see but at least be within the same vicinity which was the Czarna Pantera's compound. Jan was an only son but he had two sisters who were returned to Poland through marriage to prestigious families as part of the strategic plans of the family to rebuild its Polish connections and reestablish the family in its motherland. Luckily for Jan, he had two sons and no daughters. These sons Marek and Jakub Filipiak went ahead to have only daughters, frustrating Jan's plans of handing over the family's businesses to his own children. When he started fearing that none of his kids was destined to birth a male child, be it through marriage or extra-marital affairs, he had called them and told them that the son who gives birth to his grandson would inherit him, instantly putting Marek who was the first born in great disadvantage. Since then, a cold wa

It was a brown, sunny day. He was standing on what looked like clay soil. A reddish-brown dirt road. It was broad and caked, with cracks snaking into each other like an endless maze connections. A soft breeze blew the front of what looked like a maid's apron and he had to quickly use his hands to pat the apron back to his body. Looking up, all he could see was the back of the brown horse as its long tail swished around chasing away a fly or two from its butthole."Rosario. Look at me."It wasn't his name but it felt like it was, so he looked up from his fascinated observation of the hide and seek game the horse's tail was playing with the two unrelenting flies. Just as he was about to see the face belonging to the broad back seated on the house, the sun suddenly landed on it. It was too bright for him to see but he heard the man loud and clear."You promise to wait for me.""Yes. I will wait." He found himself nodding as h

Having dropped Hannah in her room and not seeing Jolanta on Hannah's floor, Rolph already knew she would be in his room. So when he opened his door and saw her seated in the middle of the bed with her back resting on the board, he wasn't surprised. He made his way into the room and stopped in the very middle when she didn't make any attempt to get out of bed. "Maybe I should just go back to Texas City since you are not happy to see me." He smirked. "I dare you Raphael. I dare you." She pointed with a long face and shrugged her shoulders but didn't get out of bed."What did I do this time around?" Rolph asked innocently. "Who is that boy?""Why ask when you already know?""You promised to tell me whenever you will get another one of those."" And you promised to stop spying on me."" What?! Are you trying to manipulate me right now Raphael? " She raised her voice."I dare?" Rolph asked with an ea
