Cain stepped into the Conference hall a few seconds after Michael had gone in, his eyes went straight to look at the four men who were seated at the two corners of the long wooden table in the middle of the hall, two at both sides.They were clad in black suits and had some files lined up in front of them while they whispered some inaudible words amongst themselves.Three of the men were in their middle age while the one who was seated on the first seat by the left looked very much older than the rest, his face showed signs of retirement as the wrinkles lined up on his forehead bore witness to the fact that he was supposed to be taking an eternal break.The moment the four men dressed in black suits saw Cain walking into the Conference Hall, they stood up slowly to show their homage while the oldest man among them seemed a bit reluctant to do what the others did.From his countenance, it was visible that he was forcing the smile on his face even though he bent his face severally, pret

Reluctantly, Silas put out the fire at the bottom of the cigarette and returned it to the pocket of his jacket while everyone watched amidst the embarrassment that refused to let go of him.When he was he lifted his stoned face to look at Cain who nodded in satisfaction while he maintained the smirk on his face.“Well done, Mr. Prescott, you have done well.” Cain chuckled softly, and then he turned to look at the Manager who drew closer to hear what he was going to say, following his gesture of beckoning.“I think we can begin the meeting in earnest. I am certain that these Gentlemen here have some other important things they would love to attend to. We cannot keep them waiting for so long.”“I understand perfectly, Lord Cain.” Nick bowed slightly after he had turned to completely face Cain who nodded in response.Nick took in a deep breath which he let out slowly, and when he turned to look at the four CEOs who were waiting to hear from him, he cleared his throat before he began to s

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVEJust before he continued speaking, Nick cleared his throat twice just before he spoke with a low tone that almost sounded like a whisper.“This is a record of all the employees that have worked in this company, and those currently working here, beginning from the Managers to the Janitors, and even the security guards. Their personal information is detailed in this folder.““Right…” Cain nodded while he gently dragged the blue folder close to himself and glanced at the files inside it, flipping randomly from one page to the other.Realizing that there were over three hundred profiles in the folder, Cain lifted his head slowly after about ten seconds to look at the Manager who was still in his posture.“I think I would have to go with this, and this as well. I would have to take my time to go through them.”“That would be a good idea, Lord Cain.” Nick nodded at once, turning to Wendy whom he gave a signal to, causing her to quickly walk up to the table.“Wendy here

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVENThe ride from the premises of the company back to the Castle took about thirty minutes as the cars moved through the busy roads occupied by other road users who were also on their way to their various destinations.Wendy stoked interval glances at Liam, waiting for the rogue opportunity to start up a conversation, but Liam’s deadpan countenance gave her no chance to say even a single word.“Miss Cocker?” Cain turned to look at her while they were getting really close to the avenue that led to the castle.“Yes, Lord Cain,” Wendy answered with a bright smile on her face, unintentionally showing the excitement she felt from hearing her name from the young CEO’s mouth.Cain waited for a few seconds while still trying to find out the reason behind the excitement on her face.“How long have you been working in the company?”“Three weeks, Lord Cain. Just three weeks.” Wendy responded while still maintaining her smile, nodding almost at the same time.“I see…” Cain went t

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINEShyla’s countenance showed intense struggle while she tried to make up her mind over what she was going to tell Cain who was paying keen attention, and wanted to hear whatever she was going to say to him.“I see that you are eager to get an answer, Cain,” Shyla said calmly and smiled at Cain who remained silent with so much eagerness to hear what she was going to say.“Your parents both originated from lines of supernatural Creatures. Your father was a powerful wizard, and your mother, your mother…she was a nymph who had special abilities. They were blessed by the Divine, but their love was forbidden.”Shyla paused for a while and took in a deep breath which she let out slowly before she continued with a low tone.“They had duties that they were obliged to carry out in their different worlds, but they decided to abandon them for the sake of the love they had for each other. The safest place to hide was on Earth, this realm where supernatural creatures could hide wi
