Enemies infiltrated the mansion last week. It's a good thing Terrence and the rest of his crew were able to defeat them, but they lost a lot of their men. With what happened to Samantha, he’s pretty sure that this is a work of Sinisteros. He just couldn’t figure out how they were able to enter the mansion that easily. He also sent Tabitha first to the secret villa so she would be protected. She’s with Katarina and Sparrow there. Cody was left to recalibrate the mansion’s security features.He was having sleepless nights lately, and his crew were now overworked. He decided to relax a bit. It’s almost six-thirty in the evening. The short afternoon flew by, and then came sundown, gray dusk, and the stars glistening in the sky. He’s on his way to a party hosted by one of their family’s business partners. It’s a masquerade party, so he had to put on a nice tuxedo and a silver half-faced mask. The color of his white Audi convertible matches the color of his mask. It screams elegance and sop

"Whew! That was close! " Bridgette said, while catching her breath. She became the center of attention at that party against her will. If not for that strange, arrogant man, she’d be on her way to Hounslow already."No! This was all Daddy’s fault! If he hadn’t tricked me into going home, I'd never be in this mess! ’ Bridgette was furious because of what her dad did to him. The memory of what happened a few days back came rushing back to her as she sat behind the bush on this dark road, hiding from that strange man.Did you enjoy the food? Troy asked Bridgette after they both finished a platter of green salad. They’re at a lettuce farm a few miles away from Westminster. Troy decided to bring Bridgette here because they’ve been eating unhealthily, and based on what Chelsey said, due to her hectic schedule, she only eats premade foods nowadays.Bridgette seemed to like the place. Fresh air, fresh foods, and Troy’s company.This is the first time I've actually been to this kind of place.

“Kat, did you see that?” Cody whispered to Katarina. They had been observing Terrence for almost two hours already inside the training room. He had been kicking and punching and shooting things nonstop. Now he’s thwacking the heck out of the punching bag while murmuring. They couldn’t hear what he was saying. Cody thought it was because of the woman they had been looking for for days already. But it wasn't the case now.“I have eyes, Williams,” she annoyingly responded while staring at their boss. “He has been grumpy and absent-minded these days. I wonder what’s gotten into him.”“The strange woman.” Sparrow butted in while wielding her katana in front of her two colleagues.“Right! Boss is in love!” Cody blurted out loudly, getting Terrence’s attention. He walked towards them with a blank expression etched on his face.“What did you say?!” He grabbed Cody’s collar and gave him a piercing stare. Katarina and Sparrow were both shocked and tried to pull Cody away from their enraged boss

Upon reaching the mansion of the Second Family in Kensington, west of London, Terrence called his cousin Brandon Evans before doing the attack. He may be angry with his uncle and his wife but he never wanted his innocent cousins to be implicated in his plan.“Hi, Brad. Who is inside the Second Family mansion now?”Brandon responded. Terrence could hear the sound of ocean waves in the background. “Oh, hi couz! Hadley is out and I’m in Hawaii. I think it's just mum and dad and the rest of the household. Why?”Terrence smirked. “Brilliant! Nothing. Enjoy the booze. Bye.”As he dropped the phone, he gave a hand signal to his team. As he raised his hand, some of his team infiltrated the mansion to kill the family’s guards discreetly.He hid his gun with a silencer on his jacket and wore his aviator glasses. He entered the mansion casually. The guards let him in because he’s a known relative of the Second Family.“Where’s uncle?” he asked.“Upstairs Sir Terrence,” one of the servants answer

It’s eight in the evening. Stars adorned the velvet black sky draped over the entire city. The light breeze of the night played with Terrence’s hair. Terrence leaned against the trunk of his car. The chirping of cicadas served as the background music for his broken soul.With a bottle of cold beer in his hand, he drank a swig of it. The beer's velvety texture slid down his throat. His palette was overpowered by its harsh and highly carbonated flavor.Suddenly, he remembered the task he assigned to Cody a few days ago. They became so busy planning for the Second and Third Family’s downfall that he forgot to ask him about the development of their investigation regarding the strange woman’s disappearance.He took his phone out of his coat and pressed speed dial five. A few rings and Cody picked up the phone.“Cody the cool IT speaking. Zupp Boss T?” he responded, sounding like an L.A. boy.‘This guy had been watching too many American movies again picking up these slang words.’ Terrence
