The next time the governor woke up, he was hung on a tree with a rope and his men surrounded him, their guns pointing at him.“What’s going on?”He asked in panic as he looked around. “Have you all gone nuts? Put your guns down now!”He yelled at his men but they didn’t move. They seemed out and disconnected from this world and only stared at him blankly. His eyes trailed all of them and fear gripped him.“What have you done?!”He screamed at Declan on top of his voice and Declan smirked.“You have one chance, governor, where is my woman?”“In hell!” Governor Clark seethed with anger. Declan didn’t say a word to him, but glanced at the side of one of the soldiers, and nodded.“Boom!”The soldiers pulled that trigger, releasing a bullet in the air at the governor.The governor snapped his eyes shut with fear as the bullet hit him straight on his left leg.“Arhhh!”He cried, gnashing his teeth at the pain that struck through him. Again, Declan looked at two other soldiers and their b

"Timothy, get my daughter from this man, now!" Grandpa Asher ordered and everyone glanced around in shock. Timothy did not bat an eye. He marched straight to Declan and was about to take Mandy from him when Lily stepped up to speak. "Uhm... grandpa, it's him... the same man that had been with us all this time.” Lily turned to meet her grandfather’s face. “grandpa?" Lily called in surprise when she looked by her side and her grandfather was gone. He had wheeled himself back in before she could finish speaking. "It's okay, Lily. I think I should take some break from everything myself. She needs to rest, she can call me when she wakes up if she wants." "Of course she will call you. Have a good night." Lily waved at Declan till the darkness outside swallowed his car. Declan undid the last button of his shirt and slid it off his arms. His phone beeped with a message, and glanced at it on the bedside. He took his phone and swiped up his screen and what he saw was shocking to him

“Oh No”May gaped when she saw Patrick walk into the restaurant and She grew pale like she had seen a ghost.“What are you doing here?”She asked when Patrick was at a close distance.“Hey, are you okay?”Patrick’s smile fell as soon as he saw the look on May’s face. She looked sick and he thought maybe she needed some help.“Em.. I’m fine. I’m asking what brought you here.” “I got a message and—““You know what? Let’s get out of here now!”May gritted, grabbing Patrick’s arm to drag him away with her.“Are you Mr. Patrick?”Declan said, standing up. He pinned a serious look on Patrick while he adjusted his tux jacket.“Erm… That’s me. Is there a problem?”Patrick asked no one in particular as he glanced from May to Declan in confusion.“My secretary invited you here for the meeting and you want to leave.”Declan said with a fake offended tone that made Patrick blink. It occurred to him at that moment that he actually knew who Declan was. A thought rang in his mind and he sent an an

"Arghhh!"John growled in pain when the sharp metal attached to the chair he sat on stabbed his thigh. He had forgotten the "don't move" that applied to the torture chair Declan had customized for him."I will make you pay."John gritted, flashing his blood stained teeth. Declan made a sour face, pressing two fingers to his nose. "It's okay son. We are still alive. That's all that matters. The governor cried. He was in severe pain and was wrapped with bandages from head to toe. But seeing his son again was the best thing that happened to him in a while and knowing what Declan was capable of now? the governor didn't want to provoke him any further.He tried to move on the wheel chair but could not, so the guard who had brought him in offered to give him a hand. "Please sir, we do not want any more trouble. My family is peaceful and I rule the most peaceful state. I promise no one would call your name or come after you. Not because I wish to spare you but because I acknowledge your

"Are you sure about this?" Mandy asked again when she and Declan were alone. They had finished eating earlier. Grandpa Asher and Lily had retired and the couple had their privacy. "You know how much I dislike it when people mess with you. She is getting a lesser punishment because she is the one. Someone else would have seen worse." Declan said firmly. Mandy looked away from Declan briefly and tried to hide the pinkness of her cheeks. It felt good to know that Declan would always support and stand up for her. Even if it were against his ex wife. Mandy had no single doubt in her now and she believed everything Declan had told her. "What about the guy? The fake secretary." Mandy held her breath when she asked this question because she didn't know what to expect. "He is facing the same fate. Both of them must answer to the Law for what they did." Declan said and a smile crept on Mandy's face. If for one thing, she was happy with Declan for choosing to go about this present case the
