CHAPTER ELEVEN “Hop in…” The driver gestured, and without delay, Novan stepped into the vehicle. “Your money is a hundred and twenty dollars…” The driver announced, and even though Novan found that a bit too much for a ride, he said nothing.But his eyes said it all, even though the driver didn’t seem to care about his glare. “That’s alright. I will pay…” Novan finally nodded after giving a response, realizing that the driver seemed to be waiting to be certain that he could rip him off before he could start the ride. “Good…” The greedy middle-aged man nodded excitedly, and then he turned on the ignition at once, holding onto the steering wheel with both hands. “Buckle up!” He instructed, and Novan reluctantly dragged out the seatbelt before he buckled it. The driver was already on his way, and in less than thirty minutes he had arrived at Novan’s destination. “We are here…” He announced as soon as he turned off the ignition, turning to face Novan.“Pay up…” He said in a hurry,

“I agree!” The first guard gnashed his teeth while glaring at Novan with anger in his eyes. “He is here to either steal or rob the rich people inside. That’s why he is asking Mr. Spencer…” He inched two steps closer, almost seeming like he was about to attack Novan.“I need you to leave before I change my mind about kicking you out…” He cracked his knuckles, eyes burning with disdain as he fired shots of annoyance at Novan. His partner joined him a few seconds later, and together, they seemed like they were about to throw punches at him, yet he stood still, refusing to move even an inch backward. Williams was forced to step forward, standing before Novan while he spread his arms widely before the guards.“Gentlemen?!” He called out to them, trying as much as he could to avoid looking at their blazing eyes. He didn’t even realized that he had swallowed hard twice, his heart beating very fast as he drifted a few centimeters backward, gripped by a lingering fright. “I don’t think th

CHAPTER FIFTEEN Novan was fed up with the entire situation, his anger rising as he slowly turned to face Williams, giving him a stern look which he clearly understood. Williams cleared his throat, then turned to face Mario, his eyes passing over a message he clearly could not understand. The Manager clearly didn’t get the message, holding onto his peskiness and his attempt to ridicule Novan.“You…” He pointed him in the face, lashing out with his glaring eyes. “I am going to make you suffer for what you just said to me!” He swore, boiling aggressively as though he had a score to settle with Novan. Curious, William drew closer to Novan, and then he leaned before whispering with wide eyes. “Do you have any problem with him, Boss?” He asked, and even though it seemed as though Novan was not ready to give him a response, he was still eager to hear an answer from him. Novan took a deep breath, and then he turned to face Mario, looking him directly in the eyes. “I have never met thi

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN In less than a minute, the entrance door to the hotel was swung open, and a familiar middle-aged fellow appeared, basking in the euphoria of the authority that surrounded him. Mario sighed heavily as soon as he saw the man in a grey suit, his eyes flickering with hope even though it didn’t seem like it was going to be constant.“Mr. Garfield!” He cried out, attempting to lift his left hand to wave at his boss.But the pain that fellow at once reminded him that he was yet to be set free from the clutches of Novan. “Please, help!” He continued to cry out and didn’t stop until he was convinced that the owner of the hotel had seen him.Garfield Evan was not just an ordinary fellow, he was one of the most powerful and influential men in Beacon Hills. His fame and dominance preceded him, making most people who knew him very scared of him. Even those who had never seen him before were afraid after they heard about him. “He once burnt down an entire factory because th

CHAPTER NINETEEN “I think I can no longer wait…” Novan broke the silence, turning to face Williams again.“You know what to do, Williams…” He said calmly, and then he returned his gaze to Evan, holding onto his wry smile.Williams walked away, making a call on his way out of the space.“Where the hell are you going?!” Evan asked angrily, watching Williams walk away without bothering to turn to look at him.When he realized that he was not going to get any response from him, he turned to face Novan again, giving him a stern look.“Where did you ask him to go?!” His voice was impulsive, commanding the demand for a response. “You will get to find out very soon…” Novan said, taking a look at the guards who were standing behind the CEO.“You have quite a few minions, Evan Garfield. I wonder if they are aware that this is going to be the last time they will be working for you…” Evan arched his brow, staring the young man in the face.He searched for anything that could indicate that he w
