CITY NEWSPAPER STAND, EARLY MORNING.Julian’s face stared out from the front page, pale and lifeless beneath a black headline: ‘Third Family Patriarch Slain in Golden Hotel.’News of Julian’s death spread across the city like wildfire. Everyone began to question the cause of his death and who was the killer. Some questioned the Hades family, perhaps to avoid getting blamed for not attending the engagement they decided to get rid of Julian and to gain leverage over the family but others debunked that idea because it didn’t seem right.Others attributed it to the attackers of the families. But why would he result in killing Julian? This made some of the sympathizers wonder who was next.In the Wades manor, Nathan was dressed in black, surrounded by the other members of the Wades family. They were all in mourning. The women’s eyes were puffed up and red with tears which they concealed perfectly with black glasses.The detective was going over the details with Nathan who had a neutral exp

Today was the funeral of Julian Wades. The whole of Oklahoma was in attendance. Nathan wore a black suit with dark glasses covering his eyes as well as the other members of his family.The other two families had put away their differences to attend the ceremony. They were all called upon to say a few words before the coffin was buried.Harry came up first, holding a red rose in his hands. “Julian had always been an upright man who wanted nothing but the development of his family and the city at all. It’s such a shame that he couldn’t complete his course for his family before the tragic incident took him away.”“My father, may the Lord rest his soul, had always respected Julian and so did I, disregarding our differences. We all had one aim, pushing the city to do greater things. With this, and with a heart filled with sadness, I say goodbye to not only a friend but a father to all.”He threw the flower onto the coffin. It was now time for William to give up his speech but he refused cl

Agnes staggered back, her heart dropping, but before she could speak, the doctor continued, “I’m sorry, but despite our efforts, Mr Harry has slipped into a coma and we have no idea if he will wake up. The explosion caused extensive damage; severe burns, shattered ribs, internal bleeding.” “Huh?” Agnes mouthed. Her legs gave way. Marcus caught her right on time before she could hit the ground, his jaw tightened as fear turned into fury. He glanced at the doctor and said, “Thanks for your efforts, doctor. Can we see him now?” “Sure but you will have to wait until he is moved to a ward. A nurse will come to take you both to his room in the meantime, take heart,” The doctor said, patting Marcus’ shoulder before waking away. Agnes bursted into tears in Marcus’ arms. He held her tightly, anger coursed through his veins. He had gotten information that a bomb was placed under the car during the funeral and it had the seal of the Wades family, their father was targeted. Claire retur

As the men charged towards Malik, in just minutes they were already sprawling on the floor, groaning in pain. The leader was frightened by the aura, speed and stamina of this man. He reckoned that he definitely wasn’t a force to be trifled with.Although adjusting his exterior so he doesn’t show fear in front of this stranger, he was still astonished and in awe. “What do you want to tell my master?”Malik smiled. “That’s more like it but right now, I have been angered. I don’t think there’s any need at this point to go talk to your master. Call your master out to meet with me here!”“Hey!” The leader was baffled. “Do you know the residence at which you are right now?! Mr Davison can order for your head. Do not try to act all proud and aloof here!” He warned.“What’s going on here?” A voice sounded behind them. The men turned and were met with Williams and Iris. “Sir!” The remaining standing men greeted respectfully in unison, their voices thundering. Williams stared at the men who w

On the way back home, Leonard’s phone rang incessantly. He frowned and answered it.“Leonard, there’s a woman here who claims she has important information that can be valuable to your mission,” Gabriel’s voice sounded from the other end.“Who is she?”“Iris Davison. She claimed you saved her once and she’s here to repay the favor.”Leonard furrowed his brows. What does Iris want? This was the first member of the family to meet with him after his encounter with John.He was curious as to why she decided to meet with him. “I’m on my way.”…The Davisons Manor.John strode into his father’s room, only to see him lying naked on a massage table in the balcony with a beautiful blonde lady massaging his back. Williams’ eyes were closed, and relaxed.“I didn’t know you had a fetish for massages,” John said with a chuckle.Williams' eyes flickered open and he smiled. “Well, because I’m getting older I need to enjoy my retirement after all time doesn’t wait for anyone.”John nodded in agreeme
