CHAPTER 71
She drove for a while, taking all the long roads intentionally. Somehow she was able to buy the boy enough time to rest a lot before she made it to the outskirts of the city. This isn’t the first time High mother had asked her to come so she knew exactly where to park her car.Immediately the engine went cold, the boy opened his eyes. “Thanks Sister Ann. I really need that rest.”Nora was quiet for a while, staring at the windshield. It was almost as if all she could see was darkness. She let out a heavy sigh. There was that tightness in her chest, it was back and it felt worse than before. Whenever she has to do this, whenever she has to see High mother, she suddenly becomes incapable of being cool. She suddenly becomes incapable of at least pretending that everything is alright.“Look if you don’t want to go see her, I can pull some of my old tricks and make her believe I couldn’t find you.” The boy said, concerned.“So that she will make you walk on burning coal again. Not a chance
CHAPTER 72
“It was perfect.” Nora muttered. “Still you should not have come. You should not get involved anymore that you already are.”The boy pouted, scurrying off the ground and giving Nora a hand. He helped her sit up. His gaze fell on her shoulders. Although she covered them up, he could still tell they were all read and swollen. “Did they pull too hard?” he asked an obviously ridiculous question.Nora chuckled. “Are you really expecting me to answer that question or are you trying to show off your ability to make up dark humor?”The boy pursed his lips. His eyes were wet. He lowered his head and murmured. “How much longer. How much longer do we need to keep deceiving everyone that we are dumb, stupid slaves? How much longer do I need to keep making high mother think I’m loyal to her? How much longer do you or big brother have to suffer in situations like the one you just had?. I want this to end already.”“It will be over soon. You just need to be a little more patient. Anyways I told you
CHAPTER 73
Nora sat on the floor of the parking lot, resting a while. She had just spent a whole hour smashing a guy’s legs into pulp. It’s been a while since she cracked someone’s bones. It was a lot harder than she expected. Anyways, that wasn’t why she was tired. She was exhausted because the guy didn’t tell her anything. Not a single word and now he is dead.She sighed deeply, dragging herself off her floor and lurching towards their car. She elbowed the glass, cracking it open. She put her hand inside and unlocked the car. She popped the bonnet and the boot then she went round back to look into the trunk.‘Empty.’ She went up front and checked the engine, looking for the memory card that stores the data of all the little trips the car had gone today. She found it and tried to read its contents. Turns out the car was stolen.“Fuck, I hate it when criminals grow smart on me. It always leaves a sick feeling in my gut.” She huffed, there has to be a way she would be able to find out who the hel
CHAPTER 74
The groans of a man echoed through the dungeons. Prisoners held tight to the bars, trying to see if they could get to know who that man was. He was brought in about three hours ago and from then till now, they haven’t stopped beating him..“Man, that guy is tough.” One prisoner commented, shaking his head and shuddering. “They used the electric chair on him before, now they are using those baseball bats covered in spikes. Still he has got the energy to open his mouth. If it were me, I’d be dead already.”“Of course you’d be dead. Your puny ass wouldn’t even withstand a slap.” Another one of the prisoners mocked. The rest of the guys in the cell laughed at the first prisoner. He sneered at them but he didn’t do anything. The second guy who mocked the first guy, looked away from the others. He may have made a joke about it but the little guy was right. That dude in the third cell should be dead by now. How can someone withstand all that pain.In the third cell, Anton Del Belvoir sat cal
CHAPTER 75
The men cowered back, trembling in fear. Hagan chuckled; seems like they haven’t met an insanely strong and heartless murderer like him before. He threw the headless body aside, and took a step closer, slouching a little.“Boo.”The men scurried back, hitting and shoving each other like little kids that saw a lion. He chuckled. This really is fun. He swung his dagger, snarling closer and closer to them.“Buddy, why don’t you pick on someone your own size.”Hagan paused, straightening up, a smug look on his face. The big boys are finally here. His eyes fell on the gap forming at the center of the guards. Four… no, six thick, tall, hefty and creepy-looking men stepped up before him, forming a line. Their faces were expressionless, their teeth were gritted and their eyes glared at him. There was a glint of horror in them. Hagan's face looked sullen from boredom. Those guys and their pretty façade did not faze him, at all.What took you guys so long?” He started with a low, deep but casua
CHAPTER 76
While Hagan was trying to get to Nicholas, Anton was dragging him by his feet up flights of stairs, making sure Nicholas was hitting his head. Nicholas let out a gasp of pain each time he hit. He tried to put a hand on his head but he couldn’t move his arms. It felt broken.Anton pulled him all the way to the top of the stairway. There was a door at the top, Anton opened it up and pulled Nicholas in a little then he let go, stepping back. He dropped Nicholas ‘ feet, staggering back and placing his hands on his knees. He took a moment to catch his breath, brushing some strands of his hair back.“Did you enjoy the ride, Nicholas Belford? I tried to make it as fun as possible.” Anton chuckled, personally amused by his dark humor. He looked at Nicholas. His fingers were moving. He gave Anton a thumbs up with his trembling hands.Anton scoffed at his parted to say something but he couldn’t. He was overwhelmed. This mother fucker actually has the guts to react like that after everything. Do
CHAPTER 77
Anton dragged himself off the floor. He staggered a little, trying to find some balance. That crash kind of messed with his head. He raised his face and looked at Hagan. He chuckled.“You are the reinforcements? One man. Is that how much that phony could afford?” he mocked Hagan, stared back at Anton like he was making a boring announcement. He was just waiting for that dude to get ready to fight. He didn’t want to hit anyone while they were down.Anton took a few steps back and leaned on something. He caught his breath, and steadied himself then he came back on his feet. Hagan grinned. “Are you ready to take me now, old man?”Anton scoffed. “Alright boy. Let’s see who will go down. I have to tell you though. You should have never let me catch my breath. You should have hit me when I was flat on my face.” Anton took off his jacket and his shirt, revealing a ripped figure design with six pecs and thick muscles that looked like rocks coated with skin.He blew up his biceps, veins poppi
CHAPTER 78
A long, deep exhale escaped his lips. Nicholas looked back at Anton. The man was barely awake, barely alive. He sighed.“Tell me something Anton.” Nicholas took a step closer. “Tonight, you will die in my hands. I am the one who will reap your soul so why is it that instead of asking me to spare you are busy concerning yourself with whether I tell my father or not.”“Because there is nothing you can do to me.. that will ever be.. even be worse than what your father will do. Uhh.” He grunted, leaning sideways. Nicholas watched as the battered Anton stretched himself out on that ground, his breathing getting slower and slower.“You may be a monster, Nicholas Belford but the Patriarch is the devil in flesh and blood.”Nicholas glanced at Hagan. He shook his head. Anton was right about that. Very right about that. Nicholas huffed, hobbling towards Hagan. Hagan drew near, supporting Nicholas with his shoulder“Hagan, what am I going to do with him now? Killing him would be my pleasure but
CHAPTER 79
Nora furrowed her brow, she was holding two guns and a bloody knife clenched between her teeth. Her clothes were covered in blood. Most of it was from Artery sprays. Apparently she had cut some necks before she came into the main room.“Young Master.” She mumbled, slotting one gun into her hostler and pulling the knife out of her mouth. She scanned the room, breathing slowly. Everyone was looking at her but no one was moving. Seems like the threats here had been neutralized before she walked in.“How the hell did you find me?” Nicholas asked, so casually. Almost as if they were not surrounded by people who could be enemies.“I wasn’t looking for you. I was tracking the origin of a few men that tried to kill me.”Nicholas pouted, looking at the guy who had brought him here. “Did you deaf boss commission that too?”The guy did not reply. Nicholas waved his hand, showing that he had dismissed whatever that guy had to say. He grabbed the seat, trying to stand up. He groaned, carefully car
CHAPTER 80
Nora stood up through the surgery. Not really because she didn’t want to sit down. It just didn’t occur to her. She only thought of Nicholas. He was alright. They stitched up where they could and figured out how to handle the rest. Most of these procedures would take days for an ordinary person but Nicholas was healing so fast. They did everything in one day and then put him in intensive care.That’s when Nora left but all she did was give her some ointment for her wounds and change her clothes. When she returned, it was already one o’clock in the morning. She punched in the code and slipped in, shutting the door quietly. It was really dark in that room. She noiselessly felt for the switch. It took her some second to find it. She tried to flick but something interrupted her.A groan.“Leave it. I like to be in the dark right now. Open the windows instead. I want to see the beautiful view those nurses kept talking about.”Nora left the wall. Nicholas was awake it seems. She opened the
