It is only you he wants to speak with. And he said you will like the bargain. By the way, if you really do not want to hear him out, then that's fine. I was just trying to inform you on something that I felt shouldn't be overlooked." I sighed and bit my lips.

~Aria~ I sat on a table at the far end of the bar, two bottles of beer and an already almost empty bottle in front of me. I refilled the cup trying to find solace in the alcohol. If everything was to betray me at least alcohol wouldn't, I thought to myself. Or would it?

The sudden realization that my plan was crashing, and the walls of my mission was crumbling, dug deep into my soul, rekindling my quest for vengeance.

It's not good for your health to be this angry.” He tries to coo, stretching a hand to reach a fairly dusty old book on the last row. “If you could please,” he adds, holding up the book to my face. I let out a frustrated grunt and dropped him to his feet. Habo hurriedly flips through the pages. “It is written here, in the records, see?” He urged, pointing to a page.

He said smiling brightly, Rafael rolled his eyes, if only he could say the same for him and Nicole. "It will be nice if you take my advice and just you know do something instead of running away like a coward," "Wanna fight?" He asked moving out of the kitchen back to the sitting room. "Okay, let's fight it out, Rafael Salvador, age Thirty-three, self-made billionaire and almost a trillionaire, wanna fight, Caleb, a no surname fellow with pennies in his account, that is an honor kind, sir," Caleb said dramatically, the dude was hopeless.

Damian ran his hand down his dress, adjusting it , his tightened face still locked on the guard who stepped aside for him to get in. Immediately Damian stepped his feet into the room, he leaned in, pointing a stiff finger at Mark, “You bastard, how dare you turn…” his finger pointed back at his chest, “My investors against me.
