Aside from Annabelle, Anthony could sense the hostility oozing from everyone else and all the alarms in his head were going off. What could they want?"Look at that, the dog has returned! Sadly, Officer Wilson and his partner will be taking you back to jail, a cage where animals like you truly belong!" Patience standing in front of the other family members spoke."What are you talking about? You know what, I don't have time for thi—" Anthony was extremely tired so he waved Patience and the rest of the family goodbye, wanting to walk away when…"You're not going anywhere you scumbag! You remember this?" Officer Wilson stepped forward, blocking Anthony's path to his room and then he pushed something small and shiny towards him."A woman's necklace? Of course I don't remember that, why should ?!" Looking annoyed Anthony answered."This was found in your room and we all know you can't afford something this luxurious. The real owner is right here, Carla Maple!" Officer Wilson said, provoki

Disgraced and kicked out from the only home he's known since the day he married Annabelle, right now Anthony needed a place to spend the night but he didn't have any cash.His wallet was still in his room but he swore he wasn't going to step his foot back into the Maple mansion. The faces of his in-laws were the last thing he wanted to see right now.After a little thinking, there was only one place he could go, a men's homeless shelter and so he got on his motorcycle and drove there at full speed.The place was crowded and he could barely sleep because of the noise but he managed and in the morning, he went straight to THE BANKHe needed money if he was to survive his exile and because he didn't have his debit card on him, he had to get a counter check and withdraw all the money he had saved."Here are your five thousand dollars" the accountant passed him his money in a tidy envelope and he kept in his suit pocket, right beside his phone which had been blown up with messages from Ann

"Anthony?!" Annabelle turned around and instead of her, Anthony was looking at the suitcase."Thanks for bringing my stuff, hope it didn’t inconvenience you," he said then pulled the rolling suitcase to his side.He started to notice how quiet Annabelle was being which isn’t how she behaves around him, and because of that Anthony got a sense that something was wrong that he didn't know about. This had to be different and unrelated to him being exiled from her family mansion, he thought."Hey, what's wrong? You’re acting like you’re hiding something from me, are you?" He got closer, trying to comfort her."No it's nothing, don't worry ab—" she said with her head lowered but the moment she looked at Anthony, she paused abruptly.She became angry, scowling, and defensive all of a sudden, saying "You're not using that on me right now are you?! You promised me that you'll never try it again”Her sudden outburst caught Anthony off guard, leaving him speechless for a hot second. Though she

After Anthony's call ended, it took exactly thirty minutes for two black vans to drive into Neon Grove, each packed to the limit with people all dressed in black hoodies, black baseball hats, black nose masks, black denim pants but surprisingly pure white canvas shoes. They were in uniform.These two vans drove fast and carelessly, almost hitting people but thankfully they didn't."Where in the world are they going like that?" People asked themselves, only for the vans to take a right turn, and parking in front of the Untitled Hotel moments later.All the people inside the vans came out and the person who had been in the passenger seat of the first van lead the charge while the rest gathered at one spot.He had an access card in one hand and in the other hand was a sealed brown paper bag. They were in a hurry so he unlocked the hotel."Alright people, you know what to do!" He signaled to everyone and in a rush, they all went into the Untitled Hotel.They split up at the elevator with

He picked up his ID card, not caring about what she had going on beside him."Okay, good luck with that" he started heading for the exit but…"Good thing you said that because you're the one who's gonna need it" she smirked and he stopped with his hand on the knob, turning around to face her."What's that supposed to mean?!" He asked with a frown, sensing that what she said was a threat.She got up, walked back to her seat, and sat down without any restraint that it almost broke the spring in the seat.She continued stuffing her mouth with her food while glaring evilly at Anthony."What did you mean by t—" he asked again but then she interrupted him."Since you're looking to work for a restaurant of this level, you should also know that there are benefits or I should say, connections, that being the manager has presented me with. Businessmen, lawyers, doctors, politicians, Mobsters, and even families in the Hierarchy all pay a whopping amount of money just to reserve seats around my t
