Anthony feels as if he is combusting from the inside, because until now, he never realized that the whole thing has been a set up. He has been tricked into coming into this country and now, he has been forced on the biggest stage that he has ever set his feet on in the world. "What the fuck is going on?" He murmurs, as his chest beats like a drum. Sandra laughs and flips her hair. "I'm sorry, Mister Petrov, but I will be the one asking the questions. Why don't you take your seat? Everyone really wants to hear everything that you have to say." "Or how about I blow your stupid brains out, since you have refused to stay dead?" He aims his gun at her, but something happens. No one person blinks, not even the woman he tried to kill some months ago. She sucks air through her teeth and shakes her head. "Really, Mister Petrov, this is what you are going to do?" Why isn't she scared?! He shakes the gun in her direction, but she smirks like it's a toy. The crew looks calm too, hands f

"That's not possible. Your son was the one who made the miscalculation, not me." "Don't tell me what is and is not possible, you bloody bastard!" Smith yells. "every anniversary of his death, I drink myself to the brink of insanity and make the calculations over and over and over again! My sons numbers adds up every single time, and yours never! My son died because your fucked up brain couldn't count right!!" Anthony shuts his eyes and lets out a troubled sigh. "If that was the case, why did you never come to me and lay your complaints? But no, you acted like a coward and built your resentment over years and finally, you got the opportunity to stab me in the back, and you took it." "You're damn right I took it alright," Smith snorts. "Imagine how I felt when the dragon general was looking for someone who you trusted to get you into his trap, I realized this is the one reason why God didn't take my life on those nights that I cried and begged him to." Now, it's Smith's time to sm

****A few days ago**** "Get to things ready, Lilith, we are leaving in thirty minutes." Stephanie says to the girl. "What?! Leaving to where?" "Back to my country. Your father has been captured, it's all over." Stephanie tells her. "I already promised that I will keep you safe there." But Lilith doesn't move. It's like her feet won't move on their own. "But–" "Miss Lilith, this is not the time to argue. Yes, this is a great victory that your father has been captured, but there is still a lot to do. Are you coming with us or not?" Carmen asks. He is not so patient with her. "Come on, Carmen, she is a kid, she is definitely coming with us." "What if I don't want to?" Lilith folds her hands. "Come on, Lilith, this is not the time to be hard. What's it that you are so attached to that makes you not want to leave?" Stephanie waves her hand around. "I've just started to make friends with the servants!" "Friends aren't your problem, Lilith, you will get a lot more. I'm not leav

Anthony is laying on his bed, legs crossed as he whistles to entertain himself. From the small air vents close to the roof, he can see that the sunlight is starting to go away. Joe looked very convinced, so he is sure that Lilith is probably dead by now. Maybe he didn't take the accidentally-falling-off-a-building route, maybe he stabbed out her guts in a locker room and left her to be discovered. Either way, Anthony is going to be free, and he is happy about that. He is not even trying to redeem his character at this point. Thanks to Roman, Stephanie, and his bitch of a daughter, that would be highly impossible. The good thing is that he has a lot of money in over a hundred secret accounts. Lilith has surely told Roman about a lot of them, but Anthony is sure that he can get access to a few others. The money should be able to buy him a private island somewhere, and he will lay low for the next seven years. This thing between him and Roman, it's not over just yet...But ho

Before he could object to anything, Lilith taps on the microphone to make sure it is loud enough for her to start to speak. "Um, high judges, I am very grateful for this opportunity. Let me say, I wish to apologize to everyone who has been a victim of my evil father. I'm not saying this to get them to forgive him, because I am also a victim of his, but I'm saying this because I came from a family that brought so much hurt to the world." She takes a pause to wipe a small trace of tears from her eye. "So, I know that everyone is thinking of the best way of compensating people who were hurt by the Petrov family, and I think it's just best that whatever money my father acquired in the past years should be given to the poorest, to help them rebuild." Anthony is gripping one of the legs of the table. His grip is so strong that it feels like he is going to snap it. What is this silly girl talking about? She has exposed some of his hidden accounts already, but there is no way that she wou
