CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWO “Did you miss me?!” The woman in shiny black pants and a long brown jacket sniggered, spreading her arms while she looked Desmond in the eyes.She was more than an enchantress, her long silver hair hanging over her shoulders.As she moved toward Desmond, she held onto her smile, pacing up after a while.“I thought they were wrong when they told me that you were back to Hillcrest, my love.” She chuckled coyly, and then she stood in front of Desmond.“Welcome back, my love.” She looked Desmond in the eyes, finding delight in his presence.There was just two inches of space between them, and she covered it at once, wrapping her arms around Desmond.She grabbed his head, and then she kissed his two cheeks, holding onto her smile.“Oh, my dear Desmond! How I have missed you!” She kept on looking into Desmond’s eyes like her life depended on it.“I love the look on your face, Desmond. You seem really happy to see me.”“On the contrary, Juliana.” Desmond found his v

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FOUR Desmond was forced to hold onto the seat, and then he turned to Juliana, his eyes piercing with annoyance.“Why did you stop in the middle of the road, Juliana? Are you trying to get us killed?” Her face twisted, sparking with annoyance.Juliana said nothing. She just stared like she was looking at the cars moving in front of her, her ears completely blocked from the blaring horns of the angry drivers behind her.“Drive, your bitch!” One of them cursed impatiently, and so did many others.Desmond looked back, and seeing the line like a reptile, he quickly poked Juliana gently, drawing her immediate attention.“I think you should drive, Juliana. We have kept them at a spot for a very long time.” He was beginning to regret why he agreed to get into the car, completely unready for that long episode.“Juliana? Did you hear me?” He said, after waiting to get a response for over five seconds, prepared to move the car himself if Juliana refused to do so.Eventually

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SIXElias felt an intense rage surging through his nerves.He slowly took down the phone, and then he ended it.The moment he returned it to his pocket, he took a deep breath, turning to the head of the guard.“I beg you, my friend. Ask your men to leave the road so that we can drive through.” He said with the most polite tone he could think of, feeling the rage burning inside him.He felt his chest tightening, and wished that he wasn’t going to have to do anything violent.He remained silent but impatient, watching as the guard drew closer to him until there was just about two inches space between them.The guard snorted, his eyes glowing with arrogance and disdain.He looked at Elias again, and with a low tone, he blurted,“What if I say no?”Slap! Punches!Another slap! And a kick that sent him to the ground, knocking him out instantly.Elias roared, grabbing the two guards who had tried to get to the man hiding behind him.He jammed their heads together, and w

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND EIGHT No one could really understand what had happened, especially since they didn’t see it.They looked at each other to be certain that they had seen the same thing, completely shocked.“How did he do that?” Juliana muttered, but she couldn’t even catch her breath as Aaron held onto her tightly, forcing her to look at what was going on.Desmond was engulfed by an intense rage, and since the flames on the swords had gone off, it seemed like the ninjas had lost their defense, but they were eager to get them flaming again.Before that could happen, Desmond had already grabbed one of them, and as soon as he disarmed him, he dragged out the piece of black cloth used to conceal his identity, and when he saw his face, he nodded.“It was you!” He growled, his anger increasing.The ninja was confused, and even though he still didn’t know what Desmond was talking about, he seemed to be more interested in breaking free from Desmond’s hold.His brothers were still busy try

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TEN “The same thing you asked those dead ninjas to do with it...” Desmond gave him a very quick response that made him gasp.Aaron could no longer move, panting for air while his wide eyes remained fixed on the sword.He saw his life flashing right before his eyes, and worst still, Desmond had already lifted the sword, ready to end his life.“I am going to make this quick and silent.” Desmond threatened, but before he could take a strike, Juliana was already standing between him and Aaron with tears in her eyes.Desmond grunted, looking at her with a twisted expression.“What are you doing, Juliana? Out of the way so that I can finish off that moron!”“No, please!” Juliana cried, lifting both hands.When she felt the pain in her joint, she was forced to lower her right hand and then her left.“Don’t kill him, Desmond! I beg you!”“Why not?!” Desmond growled, fuming impatiently.“Because…!” Juliana paused, seeming like the words had been stuck between her lips.De
