“Oh god, I just hope I get this loan today. Don’t want to lose my father-in-law,” those were the words pacing through the mind of Grayson the moment he alighted from the cab and stood staring up to the skyscraper which was the residing building of Sk Finance.He had never felt nervous about this approach just a few days ago, he had sent his proposal for a loan and it had been approved and a compulsory check of identity was needed so he had to come around today for the check.Once the loan was granted to him and the bills sorted out, he would stretch out his fist and confront Ethan about his frozen account. “Then he would see the beast in me.” he had muttered to himself as he glided up the elevator.A single ding alarm went and the elevator opened; stepping out was harder than getting in and Grayson wished this moment would pass without the emotional wreck he was faced with now. he couldn’t even step an inch to the secretary; a pretty , sweet-eyed lady flashing a smile at him at the c

“Please, I just need you to save his life first,” Tessy pleaded with the doctor, almost going on her knees, “I promise you one thing , the one million will be provided. It is nothing to us. I just want my father to survive first.”The doctor tossed his head. “Then provide it since it is nothing to you and your husband. We are not going to lay hands on him until you provide the money, any other appeal from you won’t be granted until the money is provided.”Tessy blinked in scare, her face flushed with a certain fear, and loss; she couldn’t even utter a word; her world was crumbling before her and she couldn’t, even proffer solution.The door creaked and Grayson stepped in at once. He dared to hold her and talk to her but she snubbed him and shoved past him.“Doctor , please can you just help my father-in-law. I thought doctors are meant to save life. Why are you doing this to us. Ok, please, save his life . Once he is alive he can remain in your hospital until we get the money…”The d

I am sorry, Mr Grayson” the secretary sounded arrogant, her eyes rolling. “Table has tuned now. Ethan is my boss now and he has left me with instructions not to let you or your wife in. Do you want me to lose my job?”“What fucking instructions are you talking about?” Tessy yelled, the veins on her brow popping thickly, “We are not here to beg him money. He withheld our funds and froze our accounts. It is either you let us in or we do it our way…”She had barely finished her statement when three burly men, stepped in; from the look of things they were the Ethan’s guards. they paused at the door, shooting stern eyes at them.“It is either you keep shut and wait for Ethan to step out and see if you can see him or you get bounced,” the secretary reminded them. “This is an office, and we don’t need noise here. The instruction is clear , Ethan has instructed me never to let you or your wife or your father-in-law into his office.”Vanity flushed across the face of Grayson, his fingers stro

Ferguson was surrounded by tons of pipes and tubes that went straight into his nostrils and mouth, his leg hung in the air as bandages wound around his neck.“Doctor, what is happening? And why is my father-in-law in this condition? What happened to him? We got a phone call about his slumping only to come here and see this?”“Yes, he slumped after alighting from a car. But then diagnoses has discovered something contrasting and horrendous. In fact you need to act as fast as you can otherwise his fate will be worse?“Worse?” Tessy shivered, “What do you mean worse? My father is healthy. He has been healthy and has never been sick so if you say worse you are trying to complicate issue my father is not going to die…”The doctor rolled his eyes in exhaustion. “I am not saying your father is going to die. However it is all on you to decide his fate. Your father has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and neuo surgery is recommended to take if off. We need urgent one million dollars to commen

“So when is the gift you bought for me going to arrive?” Tessy asked Grayson who had been staring at the image of Ethan all the while, “I just hope it gets here on time.”Grayson snorted heavily; just a day ago Tessy had demanded a gold bracelet to grace her neck, she had told Grayson about it and he had placed an order for a special one. The consignment was meant to arrive today, and Tessy had been curious.“Don’t worry Dear,. Any moment from now the consignment will arrive,” he replied her, his face buried in the illusion of hearing Ethan’s demise soon. He had dreamt of Ethan being buried and now he couldn’t wait to get a feed back from the mafias he sent to kill him.“Are you still bothered about him?” Tessy asked, taking the photo from him, “I thought you hired some mafias to take care of the asshole. I guess by now they must have taken care of him. What do you think?He hesitated and hummed in exhaustion. “I hope so, I have been trying to reach the mafias but they are unavailable

“I need his head,” Grayson groaned, pacing up and down as he addressed the group of mafias that stood in front of him with their faces fused with fury, and their jawline sagged with danger.“He thinks he is untouchable and feels he can walk away with my money…” he intoned and spread a disdain stare at them. “We are talking about 500 million dollars here. That fraudster called Ethan is sitting on my glory and money… I need his life..”“How soon do you want his head?” one of them asked, a thick towering man with thick mustache and hefty shoulders. “My men are ready to take him down as you soon you want. All I need is an advance.””Grayson groaned under his breathe. “Money is not going to be a problem.” He raised his hand and one of his guards stepped closer with his briefcase. They flipped it open and he took out a bundle and placed on the table. “Here you are . Once I see his bloodied head I will give you your balance.”“There is no cause for alarm,” their ring leader groaned, slamming

At the sight of Diego stepping out of the bunker, the ten thousand soldiers stamped their boots and a resounding salute hung in the air. An ear-ringing silence hovered in the tranquility of the dried summer.Diego accompanied by his young dragon which hung on his shoulders, walked around the soldiers, inspecting the new recruits and tossing his head in approval.“We are fire!” his voice echoed into the distant jungle as he paced up and down, addressing his soldiers, “But all of a sudden the storm from the ocean has dared our guts. This storm goes by the name Lucas Maduro!”He stroked the young feathers of his dragon as he shot a thunderous stare at them, his boot shuffling through the gravel as he paced.“He claimed to be unbeatable and that has offended our pride. How can we stay and watch one man, just one man with a dick and two balls, a convict that I gave freedom to seize our refinery, and presidential cemetery all because he seeks vengeance, huh?”He paused and stood on the sta

The soldier pressed on the emergency alarm and a battalion of soldiers sprang out for action from their manholes.Every one of them clutched their guns and widened their eyes for any escapee or intruder. She seemed to have been out of sight now as the soldier pointed his gun around, combing around for her.“I got your son. You can’t escape this. Unless you are not a mother, you would want to escape with him. Yeah. Even if you do I swear to god I will still find you and make you…”He hadn’t finished his words when a heavy metal slammed on his skull, leaving him sliding to their ground. She gave him a resounding kick in the face and belly and about to finish him up, he clutched her leg and tossed her to a corner like leaflet.She winced and whines painfully. About to pounce on her feet and another soldier pounced out and grabbed her before a resounding slap accompanied his intention; this time her sight blurred as she rolled her eyes to gain vigor.He punched her in the face, leaving he

“Are you searching for something?” the soldier beamed, his smile hugely kept as he pulled out a gun and pointed at the skull of the kid, “I guess you would understand this language better,” he corked.“Mummy” Morris finally called with scare and trembling, as he felt the hard grip of his oppressor on his skull, knowing something was definitely wrong.“Hand me my son,” she opened her arms, “You wouldn’t do that. All we want is a peaceful escape. You should have pretended not to have seen us. You can still do that. Hand me my son now,” her tone, was a bit pensive as she glued to her spot.“The keys!” the soldier demanded with temerity, “Hand them over to me or I swear to god I will blow his skull and hand them to you for dinner. The keys now!” he began to near her and each time he did, earned her a step backward.“I can’t,” she tossed her head, her face squeezing in utter rejection as she clamped the bunch even tighter, her eyes scanning around for any weapon of defense. She only could

Shortly after Diego had left, Alicia had engaged Peter in a steamy stare. Her eyes focused on the large bunch of key drooping from his jacket. She knew that was the key to the major exit and if she could have it, she would be on her way out of the dangerous bunker.Peter was pouring some wine by the corner of the shelf, his eyes fixed on mixing some wine.She held out her G-string, the same G-string Diego had stripped from her waist. “Opportune to see this.” She flirted with him, her focus still on the key.Peter managed a smile on his face and then shrugged, “You are my master’s food, but trust me when I tell you I have so much respect for your husband, and he is the master I speak of.” Peter paused to recall his impactful experience with Lucas. “He was such a dedicated general and a teacher.”Alicia sighed. “I am tired of dreaming about him, I hope someday I will see him in flesh and blood. The system wants to scrape his name from what is rightfully his. They slaughtered his parents

The moment Alicia heard the stomping of boot in the corridor, she knew who it was so she adjusted and held Morris tightly. Their confines were a transparent roofed house which gave room for the direct penetration of sunlight.Diego had put her and the kid in that confine after she dared to escape a few days ago.With red, brimming eyes, she squinted at the handle of the door opening gently and permissively. And then she began to adjust to the edge of the wall with Morris tightly held in her embrace.Diego paused at the door, his restless eyes roaming from edge to edge, trying to see if she was up to some skims. He took out his 8-rounds pistol, his boot stomping as he neared her.“You never told me your husband was the unbeatable monster who could take down hundreds of soldiers as if he were walking on anthills,” he pressed the gun on her skull and then put it between her thick lips.“Taking a look at you right now arouses my dick. You must be good at giving a head, huh,” he burst into

Lucas didn’t just wait for the soldier to confront him. Like a dove flying from the sky, he crash-landed in front of them, and they fell back and held out their rifles, heavy cracking of bullet shells filled the air.Lucas stood, his gaze lowered, long hair covering his hospital-looking face as he stroked his pendant.“I expect some of you soldiers to be loyal to me but you have chosen death over life, captivity over freedom. Now for the sake of being your former general, I will give you the opportunity to walk away as living souls.”“No, Lucas!” they chanted at once, their rifles still pointing at him, “You have no power to give us commands anymore. We are only answerable to two entities, Diego and Mr. president. And you have been instructed to vacate the presidential cemetery so that the president’s mother can be buried. You can also do us more favor by vacating the refinery as well.”Those words stole his excitement but he managed to repeat himself. “You all are people’s wives, fat
