The hall was large and dimly lit, the wide stage was the place with the most light where several expensive masterpieces were displayed. From jewelry to paintings to oddly shaped artifacts and ceramics, every single thing was presented. Four mighty chairs were placed in front of every other, meant for the mighty giants of Rose City, though not obstructing the view of others in any way.Atop those chairs sat men of high prestige in society. Four men with power and might be feared all over the city. Four men known as the four giants. Four greedy men with bulging guts that were filled with their greed and unjust doings. They did whatever they wanted because no man dared to question them. The man in charge of everything, Dom Hawkins. A man in his sixties who refused to let go of power to anyone else. His second, Adam Gilroy. Handsome for his age of fifty. Unlike the other three, he refused to let his greedy earnings swell up on his gut. Instead, he left them in a safe untouched. The

The bedroom was a massive space with a giant bed on one side and a red comfy sofa on the other. A table lamp stood in the drawer that was placed next to the big bed. Next to the lamp was a phone screen that suddenly came to life with a buzz. Olivia Bassett walked towards the drawer and picked up the phone. "Is that a message from the auction house? How did it go?" A man with nothing but a small towel around his waist asked her. He was stretched on the bed. Olivia herself had a towel around her chest reaching down to her thigh. Her red lips pouted in annoyance. "I wish, Kelvin... I wonder when I'll hear from them. I hope that he is dead by now!" She spat out angrily with a frown on her face. "Calm down my love, no need to get impatient." Kelvin's lips curved into a flirtatious smile. "Come, allow me to ease your stress." Olivia bit her lips as her eyes fell shut. Her body filled with ecstasy. Nothing troubled her at the moment, all her worries had drowned into the river of intense

Hot tears slid down her red face as she groaned and tried to break free from his strong grip. She couldn't even speak if she wanted to! Kelvin growled angrily. "How dare you try to hurt my bride?! You little thing!" He lunged himself forward but the force that threw him back into the room was unbelievable. Just one blow to the chest and Kelvin was sprawled up on the ground, choking and coughing. He tasted blood in his mouth as he coughed and hit his chest. He felt like he was being suffocated to death, and he breathed like an asthmatic patient without an inhaler. Jayden didn't even blink. His glare alone could have killed Olivia, but that wasn't enough to inflict the right amount of pain he wanted on her. How could a woman be so selfish? So dubious? So heartless! Just the thought of the things she had done caused his grip to tighten. Olivia couldn't speak, but she pleaded with her bulging eyes for him to not kill her. Who knew the fearless plotter could fear death? Jayden's ex

As loud as the gasp shared by the crowd was, the only ones Jayden paid attention to were Elsie's and his sister's.They both watched in plain horror the scene that had just taken place in front of them. He hated how he had to show them that part of him immediately after he returned. If only all those idiots knew their places and stopped trying to get on his nerves. Only then would he have no reason to fight, but they were all plain ignorant.The Bassett family weren't the kind of people to allow themselves to be looked down on by anyone, especially not someone they condemned as a useless son-in-law. Elsie was very much aware of what her family used to be capable of and the only reason she had been afraid was because of Jayden's fate in their hands. Those people were all a bunch of greedy bullies, like vile creatures that weren't even supposed to exist! They were rich and had connections from both good and bad sources. Every single Bassett was worse than the other when it came to t

Gunshots were firing in the air.Clip! Clop! Clip! Clop!“Come on Ella, they're going to get us at this rate!” Jayden yelled at her (though his yell sounded a lot more whispered than normal). “I….I know….I have to catch my breath” She said as she stooped, with her hands on her knees, while she panted heavily. Jayden couldn't really blame her; she wasn't cut out for all this military stuff. “Alright, hop on” he said, squatting in front of her. She hesitated for a couple of seconds, and he immediately picked her off the ground. “We don't have all day, you know?” He said as he picked her up and kept running. “Come on Elsie. We can't stop now” he said, holding her by the hand as he led her through the terrible labyrinth of alleyways. Olivia's men were like ravenous wolves; they searched every corner for them. “Find them! They couldn't have gotten far” she barked, running her fingers backwards through her hair in frustration when Kevin suddenly walked up to her.“Relax babe. We'll find
