“Rico!” The fifty men behind him, quickly rushed to him as blood poured down his body. His body shook, his skin quickly turning pale. The men had to carry him straight back to their car, wanting to get him to the hospital. On the other hand, Gerald felt like a don, with no single regret on his face. Even though there were cameras around that captured this murderous act, he didn't mind. After all, he could order the footage to be completely erased. The sick twisted smile on his face was everything as he was confident that Chris would surely receive his message. “Tell Chris Westminster, that he will be next then his hideous father will follow through.” It was surely a shocker to hear someone like Gerald with a rotting face call someone hideous. But the men didn't keep listening to him as they drove off. Their cars formed an entourage as they sped down the road, police cars sped in the opposite direction too. “Everything is done, Boss.” Rico’s heavy voice could be heard in the car a

At the Rice family mansion, hours had passed since Albert had been gunned down. Chase was ordered to get rid of his body and declare him dead while the patriarch still sat in his study room, shaking in anger. His childhood trauma which he worked so hard to suppress was just awakened again by that dammed boy. Gerald also known as Robin, hated himself as Robin. That part of his life reminded him that he was worthless and only meant for the streets. That he was only meant to be used as a slave. His parents who abandoned him, went on to live their best lives, claiming he was torn in their flesh! But what did he do to them?He just harmed them a little. Played dangerous pranks on them and watched them cry. Their tears gave him joy and anytime he was near them, they would steer clear of him. “Cowards.” Gerald banged his fist on the table, insulting his parents who he had sent to their eternal grave. Of course, they successfully got rid of him, just because of a few harmless jokes but G

“Do you understand me?” Jones sought for his son’s face as he continued to explain what went on all those years. However, Chris was already out of it, as he couldn't keep listening to his father. He had no single memory of his mother, just images of her he collected from pictures and even those were starting to fade in his mind. “Chris?” Jones called out. “Yes?” He arched a brow at his father. “What are you thinking of? What will be your next line of action?” Jones asked but Chris pursed his lips in thought. The information he had now was a shocker, one that derailed him greatly. He had treated Gerald as his father’s enemy, not knowing the old patriarch was actually his own enemy too!“I don’t know.” He finally answered with a blank gaze. “How is mother related to Robin though?”“They were cousins,” Jones said seriously. “Gerald is yet to find out that we are related to your mother because I kept that information hidden and strategically erased you and me from his radar years ago.

Chris stared blankly at the wall, in his study as he listened again and again to Albert’s and Gerald’s conversation. Even Rico Axe who was by his side was in deep shock. None of them would have thought this was what was going on. “Robin Smith?” Chris frowned. “Does that name ring a bell?” “No.” Rico shook his head. “None that I know of in most mafia organizations.”“But…” Chris frowned. “He seemed to be a renowned figure in the underworld, else, he wouldn't be able to take over the Rice family so easily even with Albert’s help.”They both had the same thoughts. However, they couldn't figure out he was really. At that moment, Chris decided to speak to his father. He couldn't keep waiting until the moment his father decided to tell him the truth. As he stood up, he ordered Rico, “Review the previous recordings. We need to find out whatever Gerald had in mind for us. Also, confirm if Albert is dead, and if he is not, bring him in. We can make him dance to our tune.”“On it.” Rico nodd

Albert pursed his lips, a faint hint of fear in his eyes as he followed Gerald into the mansion. He wondered if his father would dim whatever he had to say worthy and if not, he knew that his father would carry out his threats. They finally reached the patriarch’s private study and as soon as he settled behind the partition in the study, Albert stood back, standing before the partition. “Why are you here?” Gerald asked. Albert pursed his lips again. He was suddenly nervous and all the anger he had pent up inside him was nowhere to be found. Before the patriarch, he was an insect. “If you have nothing to say, get out.” Gerald was impatient, his eyes curling in disdain for the youngest boy whom he once favored. “Father, please—”“I am not your father!” Gerald banged his fist on the table so suddenly and angrily. His cold gaze pierced through the partition, making Albert shiver in fear. “I apologize!” Albert gritted his teeth and in the next second, he went down on his knees.Bang!

Thoughts of Baron being dead or not continued to gnaw in Tricia’s mind. Her eyes watered with tears as she got into her car, gripping the wheel tightly. She constantly tried to convince herself that all was going to be alright. But deep in her heart, she blamed herself for going to Albert! What if he actually killed Baron?!“No, he can’t! Never!” She stepped on the accelerator as quickly as she could. She had to deliver what Baron asked her to deliver and soon, her husband would be free.Finally, she got to a hotel, the one Baron had said to her in his instructions, and as she sat in the empty waiting lounge, her feet tapped on the floor rapidly. Her eyes watched all over, like a hawk, hoping Albert or his men weren't anywhere close. But then she heard footsteps behind and her head snapped to look in the direction. “Mrs. Rice?” The bulky man behind her said her name and immediately she jumped on her feet. However, the man had a face mask on and she couldn't see his face fully. “Ar

The next morning… Cora ignored every one of Robin’s messages and calls as he tried to find out the issue with her foot. She dressed up, ready to meet up with her family whom she contacted over the night. However, she had mixed feelings about her decision. Her father was immensely disappointed in her and was opposed to seeing her. But her mother was different. The only child she had was finally coming home and now, she couldn't turn her daughter away. That day, a car was sent straight to Westbourne City to take Cora back to Eastbourne where her family resided. Right now, Carla embraced Cora as she was about to leave while they promised each other to see themselves soon. As Cora got into the car, Carla immediately turned around and wiped the fake smile on her face. “Let’s hope that bitch does something right this time.”Immediately, she called her private investigator to follow Cora, after all, she needed some vivid pictures to send to Robin later on. His supposed first love would

Immediately, Cora grabbed the phone, staring at the pictures with wide eyes. There were ones where Robin caught her from falling on the sidewalk and even ones where he carried her to his car because of her injured toe.All in all, they looked like a couple in love, with the man doting on his woman. “Carla, I promise you. This isn't what you think.” Cora said shakily. She hoped her friend wouldn't think she had something personal to do with Robin. But Madam Kia didn't buy that. “What do you mean it isn’t what she thinks?” She barked at Cora. “You went after your friend’s ex-husband. You took her contract and now you don't want to let go.”“That’s not true!” Cora gasped. She then quickly turned back to Carla, “Believe me, please. I injured my toe…see…” She stretched her leg up. “Robin insisted on helping me and nothing else. I don't know how these pictures came about too…” She cried, desperately hoping for her friend’s trust. On the other hand, Carla still had a devastated expressi

“Can you drop me off at this intersection? I will find my way home from here...” Cora nervously sat up on the passenger seat of the car.Robin turned to look at her, noticing her odd movements, “Why do I have to stop here? We are just a few distance away from the hotel. It would be no use if I dropped you off here.”“But I want to get down!” She groaned in displeasure. Immediately, Robin hit the brakes, driving to the side with a calm expression. He didn't want to push her too hard but then he was concerned about her injury. A toe injury could get significantly worse if infected. “Tell me why and then you can get down. I won't force you to stay.” At least, he had to know what he did wrong this time. As the car came to a stop, Cora pursed her lips, not knowing what to say. How could she say he appealed to her while he drove? The strong flex of his arm muscles that strained beneath his clothes, just enough for her to see was everything.And added to that, she felt like she was commit

“Relax…” He whispered as he held her leg gently. Even though she tried to pull away from him, he never let go. To Robin, this was the moment he had to take care of her. A way to pay her back for caring for him years ago. On the other hand, Cora was embarrassed, a deep redness appeared on her cheeks and neck and she felt her heart shake a bit. She didn't know if she was really embarrassed or was touched by his gentlemanly gesture. “You shouldn’t really be doing this.” She whispered. “What if someone sees us?”“Uhmm, Mason…” Robin called out, contrary to her expectations. Her head snapped to look at Mason who she never knew had been inside all along. “Get the first aid kit. Let’s stop her bleeding first.” He ordered. Now, Cora was even more embarrassed, she tried to hide her face as Mason brought the box. She expected Robin to hand over the job to his assistant but he took the kit himself and started to clean her wound. “Ohh…” Cora winced in pain, her eyes closing slightly. However

Robin didn't even take a single look at them as he continued strolling out of there. However, Brother West wasn't going to let him through. “Robin, how dare you sabotage me?” He yelled, running to stand before him with a fierce expression. Robin had no choice but to halt his steps, staring at West with a cold gaze. “Scram!” He hissed, ordering him out of the way. His piercing gaze made Brother West weak to his knees and he almost fell off. But the mayor was quick to get in the way. “Mr. Davenson…” He almost stuttered, looking very apologetic and embarrassed. “Please, give me just a moment to explain myself. I was misled—”“No, you weren't.” Robin hissed. “You were just blinded by your greed. Even as a mayor, you fail to see patterns and potential. Maybe it’s time you stepped down from your position.”“No. Please...” The mayor tried to beg but Robin took a detour, out of their way. Stepping down from his position wasn't just mere words, it was one Robin would see through!“I am do

The silence proceeded over the room for more than ten seconds before the prime minister spoke up with a grim expression. His displeased gaze was directed toward Chairman Wells who quickly looked down in shame. On the other hand, Brother West also had a grim look on his face, everyone could literally see his world crumbling. His pride was broken by none other than the man he made fun of. “Robin, you—”“That’s enough!” A governor slammed his fist on the table, and West flinched in fear. He didn't dare to say a word, only bowing his head in shame like his accomplice. “Announce the results.” The prime minister ordered the attendant with a blank gaze, he now had his emotions under control. If the result were in West’s favor, all would be canceled immediately. Everyone else had the same thought but West still had hope while Robin sat back, coolly. “Robin Davenson, four votes.” Those words were not shocking and neither was it devastating to Robin. But he realized if he eventually becam
