411. Daytime Drive-by
That same night, the 3 crates loaded with Gallium Nitride chips were delivered to Carmine Island, where Kronos Tech’s new office was being built from scratch.Samantha verified the shipment herself, and the quality of the semiconductors surprised her.Her phone rang the very next second.It was Alex on the other end.“I hope those chips will be enough. Do you need anything else?”“The quality is amazing. These are much better than the ones we can manufacture locally. How did you even get so many of them in such a short time?” she asked, rippling with curiosity.“I procured them from a third party. It’s best if you don’t get into the details,” Alex replied with casual ease. “How long till you can get the Golden Dome ready?”“The gallium nitride chips are the primary components for these pylons. Everything else can be assembled rather quickly. We already have the designs stored in our database. It shouldn’t take more than a week.”That was the best news Alex had heard all week.“Work we
412. Let the Bullets Fly
“Alex? What happened?” Josiah yelled from the other end. “Talk to me? Where are you?”The call disconnected abruptly before he could glean any details.Josiah didn’t wait a second longer.“Block the road! There’s a white pick-up truck coming this way. We need to stop it!” He yelled to his men.The guards rushed out, driving 2 black SUVs.They turned the cars around, making them face each other and block the main road.Meanwhile, the men stepped out and took positions around the vehicles, ready with their handguns.Josiah came running down the stairs, armed with his six-shooter.Elizabeth had just woken up when she saw her father marching out with bloody anger boiling in his eyes.“Dad? What happened? What is it?”But Josiah stormed off without answering.Once outside, he dialed Alex’s number again.“Come on, just pick up!”It took him three tries to connect, but there was no voice from the other end.“Alex? What happened to you? I’ll come and get you right now. Just tell me where you
413. The Third Party
“The Marston family from Wickerville?” Edgar Warrington asked, furrowing his brow.“The same,” Alex replied, with a look of certainty.“Why would the Marstons target us?” Josiah asked. “They live on the other side of the state. And Michael and his family aren’t even close to us in stature or even power.”“Michael Marston is a religious fanatic. But he has no interest in politics. He has always been happy to preside over Wickerville like an unchallenged Lord. Why the hell would he turn his eyes this way?” Adam Vanderbilt asked.The only one who remained silent all this time was Connor Vanderbilt. He already knew too much, and the thought of exposing his brother’s secrets ashamed him.“Michael Marston wants to get rid of two birds with one stone. And he already has a grudge against me because his son was killed while trying to attack my penthouse,” Alex replied and then turned to Connor. “I think it’s time you finally spoke up about your brother’s deeds.”Despite knowing Rory’s faults,
414. A Woman’s Touch
Adam Vanderbilt and his son, Connor, left to gather more men for the nightly encounter, while Edgar Warrington headed to the Central Narcotics Department to enlist their help.The only ones who stayed back were Josiah Warrington and his daughter, Elizabeth, to watch over Alex while he was recovering at the hospital.Despite being covered in bruises and burns, Alex hadn’t suffered any major internal injury.However, the doctors had advised him to have a week of bed rest and avoid any strenuous activity during this time.Elizabeth sat beside his hospital bed with a worried look on her face.“I heard dad talking outside. You’re not thinking about joining them tonight, are you?” she asked in a concerned voice.Alex heaved a sigh and replied, “Wickerville is Michael Marston’s stronghold. Your dad will need all the help he can get.”“He’s hurt too, but it’s not like he’s going to listen to me. He never does,” she muttered, trying hard to hide her frown. “I don’t want anything to happen to e
415. The Forbidden Fruit
Inside Michael Marston’s study room in Marston Manor, Claire Marston was sitting in her white wedding gown, tied to a chair.A piece of white cloth was wrapped around her mouth, preventing her from screaming.Meanwhile, Michael Marston was cutting the tip of a cigar and pacing around the table in front.“You have been nothing more than trouble ever since we got married,” he said, finally lighting the cigar.Blowing a puff of smoke in her face, he continued. “I gave you comfort, security, love, care, and a home to call your home. Performed all the duties of a husband with due diligence. Would you disagree?”“Mhmpf!” Claire tried to speak, but the gag muffled her words.Her eyes flickered with a fearful premonition as she looked at her husband.Her whole body trembled as beads of sweat streaked down her face. She kept shaking in the chair, pleading with her sobbing eyes.But her tears did nothing to soften Michael Marston.He leaned closer and moved the cigar close to her face, burning
416. The Wickerville Attack
Michael Marston didn’t wait to change, but rushed down the stairs in the same plain white shirt he had been wearing since morning.On his way to the door, he called up the local sheriff.“Good evening, Mr. Marston. How may I help you?”“A few imbeciles from the narcotics department have decided to raid my poppy farm. Get them off my property.”“I am sorry, but that is beyond my jurisdiction, Mr. Marston. Those narco guys are tough badgers. Even we don’t go around messing with ‘em.”“I pay you to protect my property!” Michael thundered at him. “Do your job, Sheriff. Or I swear on the Almighty, all hell will break loose.”“No, can’t do, chief. I don’t wanna lose my job. Sorry.”“Timothy, you forget who made you the Sheriff. I can—”The call disconnected even before Michael could finish.Gritting his teeth, he put his phone away.Michael was about to head out the door, but just as soon as he grabbed the handle, the sound of distant gunshots made him pull back.It was followed by a loud e
417. Saint and Sinner
Inside an old 18th-century hillside chapel, Michael Marston was down on his knees, praying to the Lord in his bitter, gruff voice.“Forgive me for my transgressions. Forgive me, dear Lord, for I have sinned. This flesh is unworthy of your love, dear Father. But I know your kindness knows no bounds. Have mercy on this sinner and absolve him of his sins.”Looking directly at the altar, Michael held his head high and raised his hands.“Glory be to the Lord and our Savior. They kingdom come. Thy will be done! Here on Earth as it is in Heaven!”“I am afraid it’s a bit too late for prayers,” A voice yelled from outside. “The Lord has already seen through your lies. And now it’s time you prepare for His Judgment!”Michael Marston’s face darkened as he heard that familiar voice.He stood up and grabbed the double-barreled shotgun lying on the pew.“You shouldn’t have come here, Mr. Verlaine. But I guess the Lord wants me to do his bidding tonight. For he said, vengeance shall be mine!”Loadin
418. Under the Melting Sun
The next day, Dr. Lucy boarded her private chopper and descended from the Northern Mountains.When she arrived in Glenmonte, a white limousine driven by Jakob Rashford came to pick her up.“What’s this about?” she asked, her heart fluttering from excitement. “What did Alex tell you?”“He said to keep it a surprise,” Jakob replied, making a zipping sign to show his lips were sealed.The limousine brought Dr. Lucy to a beachside luxury resort on the western coast of Glenmonte.As she stepped out of the car, she was greeted by the female staff who escorted her to her deluxe suite on the second floor, fitted with its very own jacuzzi and private sauna.“Welcome to Palm Springs. Please let us know if you need anything. Enjoy your stay.”As they left, Dr. Lucy noticed the Tuscan Silk gown on her bed and a note on top.For the woman of my dreams.I hope you like my surprise.She blushed as her heartbeat quickened. Her trembling fingers ran across her phone’s glossy screen as she tried to fin
419. The Bloody Bride
That one message swallowed all of Alex’s joy, putting him on edge once more.He tried to check the number, but it turned up no results.Alex looked at his guests and wondered if the perpetrator was someone close to him.While the others laughed and chattered, only Jakob Rashford noticed the sudden change in Alex’s expression.“You look nervous. It’s not your first wedding,” he joked, trying to lighten the mood.But Alex frowned at his remark.“I am in no mood for such jokes.”Jakob quickly realized something serious was troubling him.“What’s wrong?”Alex showed him the message on his phone.“It’s probably just a prank, or some influencer trying to gain attention. You know how it is with social media these days.”However, Alex didn’t feel like taking any chances.He immediately called up the head of security.“I want the guest list right now. Double the security around the beach and check all the reporters again.”The rest of the wedding ceremony continued under heightened security, a
420. Trail of Blood
The guards quickly cordoned off both decks, blocking off all exits.“Who would have done such a thing?”“Some bloody business rival, probably.”“They just won’t let the man enjoy a happy moment!”The crowd started gossiping as tensions peaked.Josiah Warrington and Jakob Rashford immediately stepped up to support Alex.“We are with you. We’ll find the bastard who did this!” Josiah declared, pledging his assistance.“I think whoever sent that message wasn’t playing around. I was wrong,” Jakob said in his turn. “We need to track that number.”“It’s pointless. It belonged to an old woman who’s already 6 feet under,” Alex muttered back. “Whoever did this wanted to ruin this evening for me. And I have a feeling it is someone quite close.”Alex looked up at the decorations and frowned.“Take the damn balloons down. And find out who was in charge of the decorations!”The Captain of the Cruise Ship came running out of his cabin, accompanied by his chief mate.“Mr. Verlaine, I just heard what
