Max could feel the pressure; he never expected Gaius to find him so soon. It meant that whatever was to happen to him would be dangerous and unbearable.He looked at Gaius in the eyes, the faces of the people he had their images and had been following for weeks as they stared at himAt this moment, Max could understand why everyone feared Gaius; his gaze was dark, and his face alone set shivers down his spine.“Do you want a drink?” Gaius asked in a mocking tone. He had met with Max on several occasions during the time he was working for a private firm. He knew the man to be a respected journalist in the city, never collected bribes, always ready to expose all the illegal businesses, and at such a young age, Gaius admired him. He was known to be fearless when it came to seeking information, and he remembered once when Max had reported that he killed someone, but later, Gaius was able to defend himself using power and fame.Max watched him tentatively, they both knew the reason why th

Sasha almost smashed her phone with anger when she heard the system tone on the phone.“Not again!” she exclaimed in frustration.“Calm down! I have made searching for Tonia my priority now.”.Unfortunately, none of them knew that Tonia was in the police station and gave Asher some information about them.What Roland didn’t know was that it was impossible to find her even with his money.“I can’t believe that bitch fooled me, and I fell for it. After everything I have done for her.”Ronald leaned forward, ‘But have you thought about something?”“What?” She yelled.“Tonia said that she had the pill with her and we should meet her at the airport. Right?” He said, “What if on her way to the airport, something happened to her. Like she got into an accident, or she was caught by Vandy and his men. Or Asher himself.”‘I don’t believe any of these things you just said.” Sasha muttered.“We aren’t sure, but think about it that way. We know she wants the money but I don’t believe she will dis

He lifted one shoulder casually, with a smile he replied, “A casual conversation!”Llara scoffed, “Back off, I am not your regular kind of girl.”Asher let out a soft laugh, “Really? What’s my regular kind of girl?”Her face hardened and jaw tightened, “Aren’t you scared of me?” She asked.She knew that everyone around the clubhouse knew she worked for Gaius, and it had made a lot of men stay away from her. They were scared to even look at her face, but not this stranger; he was bold.Asher then nodded at the bartender, who offered him his drink. He took a long sip before settling it on the counter, then he leaned closer and spoke with a warm voice, “Scared of you?” He said with a grin, with his eyes locked on her, “If there is anyone who should be scared of me, it should be you Llara.”Llara frowned and almost felt like hitting the man on his face, but then she maintained and sighed softly.“Listen, I don’t want to hurt you. Stay away from me.” She warned.Asher casually shrugged an

Then another figure emerged this time, it was Augustus.Llara 's mind was focused on Tarot that she didn't know when Augustus walked inside.The more she thought about what was happening, the weaker she felt. “How could he be alive and keep it to himself? How could Juliet know he was alive and never tell her? What was happening?” Llara thought to herself.“Llara, I am alive!” He whispered.“How? And why did you stay hidden!”Tarot inhaled and exhaled deeply. This was the part where he should have kept mute, but he knew not saying anything would make things more dangerous.If he didn't say anything, Llara would fall into trouble and she would keep asking questions. Although he doesn't want her to get hurt, at the same time knowing she was working for the same man who wanted him dead was something to talk about.Llara stood firm waiting for a reply from him.“If you were alive all this time, why didn't you come back. Why didn't you show yourself to me?” Llara asked in a voice mixed wit

When Mick arrived at the café, it was only a few minutes before Asher, Tarot and Augustus followed. They parked at a far place from Mick’s car. Mick didn’t suspect anything as he walked into the café, then settled after securing a good view of where he would see the man he was waiting for. When Mick spotted the elderly man, he gave him a signal, and without hesitation, the man ambled forward and sat opposite Mick.Asher managed to get a clearer look at Mick and the man beside him. But the stranger’s face was hidden beneath a cap and a nose mask, revealing almost nothing. Then, Asher’s eyes caught something, a ring on the man’s finger.A small bird was engraved on it.The design tugged at his memory, stirring something deep and distant, but when he tried to recall where he had seen it before, nothing came.His mind was blank.Then he noticed the men exchanging something, which appeared to be money and a parcel. “They are doing business.” Tarot said.“Do you have any idea who the man
