Chapter: Chapter 15Jeremy was alone in his car as he drove to Naomi. A wave of regret hit him and he cursed his luck for getting him into all this mess.It was no surprise that Ariel thought of him as only a tool just the way Stephanie did.Why were women always like this?He wondered to himself.If he was rich, he wouldn't have gotten himself into such a mess.“Women. A bunch of them are annoying.” Jeremy gritted in frustration.He still had to get his sister at least, she was the only one who didn't annoy him.Jeremy wondered how long he could put up with this if his mother didn't recover fast.Would the doctor ensure that his mother got everything they needed?If Ariel continued like this, he was sure that sooner or later, she would stop the payment of his mother’s fees and he did not want that to happen.He had to be prepared but how?Should he get a new job with this prestige he had and save up?However, Ariel and her brothers were bound to question him.He gripped the steering wheel in anger.

Chapter: Chapter 14“You mean all this is for your wife.” Harold said with widened eyes.“Yes,” Jeremy smiled, “By the way, can you help me take it to my place? They are a lot and there’s no way I can get them all there by myself.” Jeremy asked with a pleading look.Harold, who was dumbstruck by the amount of gifts in front of him, only nodded and at once the helpers moved the items into the back of the Lamborghini.“Thank you Harold. Let’s get moving. My wife is waiting for me.” Jeremy patted his friend’s back, dragging the man out of his day dreaming.“Your wife is a lucky woman.” Harold muttered.“If only she understood that.” Jeremy sighed.At the large company, Ariel went after her uncle trying to stop him from snooping in her office.The man owned a company and because of their rivalry, they butted heads with each other.“I am going to call the guards on you, Uncle. You need to leave this moment.” Ariel frowned.First, Jeremy played this silly joke on her and blatantly disobeyed her order. Now, her

Chapter: Chapter 13Ariel looked at Bella as the news was delivered, she could feel her headache increasing by the minute.“I don’t understand why he would disappear after seeing how important this meeting is to me.” Ariel groaned and pinched her forehead. She felt like calling off this wedding but she couldn’t do that.How then would she explain to her brothers about everything?“He’d soon return Ma’am. I think what you should be most worried about is that Mr. Malcolm is sitting right now in the conference room and you should find a way to distract him from this company’s business.” Bella advised. She internally blamed herself for allowing Jeremy to leave.“Ok, I’ll have to keep that sneaky maggot busy for a while and if you see Jeremy, please send him upstairs.” Ariel stated, she straightened her blouse and decide to touch her make up. She didn’t want to look like a mess in front of her own rival.“Noted, Ma’am. I’ll do just that.” Bella replied.Without a word, Ariel left the office to talk to her unc

Chapter: Chapter 12“Is that a threat?” Jeremy muttered in a cool voice. He could finally see what he was to her. She only saw him like a tool, just like the way Stephanie saw him.“No, I just think that it’d be a great help from you to me since I’m helping you. You did agree to be my husband so I can get this position.” Ariel said in a soft voice dripping with a certain tinge of sweetness.She moved closer to Jeremy and placed her palm on his chest before looking into his eyes.“What are you doing, Ariel?” Jeremy narrowed his eyes and gazed down at her. One minute, she was fire, and the next minute, she was cold.He didn’t like that he wasn’t able to understand, not like he ever understood women but there was something about Ariel that made him uncomfortable.She was a stunning woman but from the way, she dealt with that Sanchez lady, he knew she was brutal.“Don’t you know newly-weds are meant to make out?” Ariel said and moved her head closer to his, causing the poor man to go into a panic.“Wait. I d

Chapter: Chapter 11Behind Jeremy’s car which Ariel had provided for his business, was another car, it had a luxurious gold design with tinted designs and it followed closely behind Jeremy’s car.Jeremy was a bit carried away by the beauty of the car he was in that he realize that he was being followed. His phone made a beep sound, notifying him of an incoming message.Jeremy opened to text to realize that it was Ariel who messaged him, she informed that she would meet him in her office and he should be expectant.Noah was on his phone as he followed Jeremy from the home his sister bought where he had previously been spying.“I’m telling you, I saw the way he held her and took her to her room like he was some kind of prince.” Noah gripped the phone as he spoke. There was something he felt was off about Jeremy but he couldn’t pinpoint it.“I think you should let it be, Noah. You don’t need to be sneaking about.” The voice on the other side of the phone answered him with a chuckle.“You don’t t know what y

Chapter: Chapter 10Where does it hurt?”Jeremy asked, taking a seat close to her on the bed.“Both of my ankles are sprained. I don't think I can walk.” She answered, pressing her hands against the affected area.“Oh shit!” He cursed and tried to touch her legs, but she immediately flinched.“I'll call a doctor. Do you have a personal doctor?”“No.” She shook her head a little too quickly, as if he had mentioned something scary instead of a doctor.“No, you don't have a personal doctor?” He asked with furrowed brows.“No, don't call me a doctor, I'll be fine.” She answered without looking at him.“I shouldn't get you a doctor? But you are injured.” He exclaimed, confused as to why she didn't want a doctor. If both her ankles were sprained, then she most definitely needed a doctor.“It doesn't matter. I'm fine.” She said firmly. He nodded, confused, but her decision, but deciding to respect it all the same.He stood from her bed and went to investigate what had caused the fall, and he found a tube of gel

Chapter: Chapter 200“Please, spare me… don’t kill me. I’ve got family.” Sylvester squatted before the terrified guard. He slowly looked around at the guards lying on the floor, some dead, and some unconscious while some were writhing about in pain.He looked back at the guard who was before him. Sylvester wiped off some of the blood on his gloves against the guard’s cheeks and the man shrieked in fright and shrank back, trying to put some distance between himself and Sylvester but it was no use. Sylvester had completely put both his legs out of commission.“Stay away from me…” Sylvester just kept smiling at the guard. “Or else what?”The man drew out a pistol from its holster and pointed it at Sylvester, switching off the safety.“You should think very well about if really want to make use of that thing. Can you deal with the aftermath?” Sylvester asked the guard casually, not at all bothered by the gun’s cold nozzle against his forehead.After a while, the guard’s arm dropped, the gun coming to rest o

Chapter: Chapter 199They made their way out of the basement, employing stealth. Anyone they met on the way, they dealt with efficiently and silently. Sylvester stopped moving at the door, pausing briefly. His team followed suit, standing atattention behind him, waiting for his order. He looked at the eyes of his four students, seeing the pain and anger in them. He knew theorder they were expecting and hoping for. He also knew if he gave the order, they would obey itwithout reserves. But he had other plans. “Go.” Sylvester ordered, his expression grim. His team blinked at him in confusion, not understanding the questions. “Pardon?” “Go.” he repeated. “Get out of here.”Finally, his order sunk in and when it did, their expressions grew dark. “But__”“No arguments. Find a way and get out of here… alive. How you choose to escape is up to youas long as you get out alive.” Sylvester interrupted their question. “Master but__” Sylvester's eyes glowed angrily, halting whatever protest Otto had been a

Chapter: Chapter 198“I welcome you all to hell.”Viktor’s hated mocking tone grated on Sylvester’s nerves but what really got to him was what Viktor’s presence in the storage room now meant.Jasper had indeed betrayed them. Sylvester wasn’t ready to believe Jasper really sold them out but Viktor was the proof he was refusing to accept.“Where’s Jasper?” he growled out at Viktor.Viktor pretended not to know who he was asking of. “Jasper? I don’t think I have ever heard that name.” “Stop messing with me. You know what I can do when I get angry. Everyone pointing at me would have to die a pointless death.” Sylvester pointed out.Viktor exclaimed like he had just remembered something…or someone important. He snapped his fingers. “Oh…Now that you mentioned it, I think I remember this Jasper you speak of. Here, let me bring him out so we see if it’s the same person we are referring to.” There was an evil glint in his eyes as he locked gaze with Sylvester. He smiled like an evil clown and snapped his finger

Chapter: Chapter 197The spokesman looked at Sylvester with his jaws hanging open in shock. “How did you get this?” he demanded once he recovered his composure. He slammed the file shut and slid it towards his companions.Sylvester shrugged. “Its something juicy I couldn’t resist the urge to sink my teeth into.” The man glared at Sylvester as he slowly withdrew his mobile phone from his breast pocket.His eyes still fixed on Sylvester; he spoke in a strange language into the device. He replaced back in his shirt pocket when he was done.Sylvester could practically feel the hatred conveyed in the look the man fed him but what he interested him most was the smell of his fear. It was pungent enough for Sylvester to almost taste it.“The CEO will be here shortly…sir.” He informed Sylvester through clenched teeth but Sylvester didn’t care for his tone.“I’m not going anywhere. I have got all day and some more.” Sylvester said casually spreading out his arms to emphasize the size of his patience.While they w

Chapter: Chapter 196Later that night, Sylvester had to explain multiple times to his team why they couldn't storm the estate that night despite them being ready to go. He knew they were gearing for some action, hell he was too but at the same time he had to be rational so the mission doesn't ends up being a suicide mission. “Besides, we need to hear from Jasper first before we make our move or it will all be for nothing.” he told them and they reluctantly accepted his reason, going back to their various quarters to sulk over being idle. When by the next day, Sylvester hadn't still heard from Jasper, his worry level climbed but still he hid it well for the sake of his team. Lacking the energy to explain to them once more why it was dangerous to move without word from Jasper, Sylvester barricaded himself in his study, observing the movements of the truck driven by the merchant employee. Luckily enough, the tracker hadn't been discovered within the bed of the truck, making it easy to monitor its movem

Chapter: Chapter 195Sylvester instructed Gerald to summon everyone in his team. When they came, they met him deep in thoughts so they stood patiently before him military style till he was done analyzing whatever he was analyzing in his head. He looked up at them, his eyes finally registering their presence. “We have a problem guys.” He told them, his mouth a hard line. “We know where the machines were moved to though.” It was Hozert who spoke up. “So what’s the problem, boss? If anything, I think that’s good news.” "I couldn’t agree more with you. Yes, it’s a good thing but why there is a problem is because the security around machines now has increased to code red.” “We will still take them out. Viktor’s men are just a bunch of untrained cut throats thrown together.” Otto said, slamming the fist of one hand into the open palm of the other. “Yes, it would have been that simple if it was just Viktor's barbarians but…” Sylvester paused, nodding at Gerald. “... I think it's better you hear it from h
