Chapter 66: I have an Uncle now
Her jaw dropped in astonishment.The ambiance was bright with artificial light she hasn't seen before except in textbooks, the floor was clean— so clean that her reflection was visible over the expensive marble. It was completely different from the cracked concrete floor of the cramped world she grew up to know back at Hollowgate. The bed at the wall caught her eye. It was big and large, not the small tattered one back at home. Overall, the room was large.Her eyes widened as she took in everything."I'm i going to sleep in this big place all alone?" Her voice was tinged with excitement and astonishment.Tara giggled beside her. "If you wish to share the bed with me then I'll sleep here with you." "So you'll leave my uncle cold at night?" Rose looked up at her with a light frown and shook her head. "No, no." Tara giggled.Her smile returned as she turned back to the room."I'll sleep here all alone. This room alone is bigger than our entire house all together back in Hollowgate." Sh
Chapter 65: Rose's confusion
Rose didn't start eating the fried rice immediately. She stared at Zane across from her and asked gently, her small voice tinged with curiosity."Are you going to hurt me?" She asked quietly, "the other men took me from mum and poisoned my food and now you're giving me another food. Have you Poisoned it too?" Zane turned his look to her. He exchanged glances with Tara. They understood her concern and fear perfectly.Zane set down his spoon and leaned forward over the table, her elbows resting on the table edge."We will never do that to you, Rose," He said gently, his voice firm and assuring, "and that man who did that to you will be punished." "Can..can I trust you?" Her voice cracked slightly.Tara stood up and walked up to her. She crouched to her level and gave out a warm smile. He held her hand gently as she started saying,"Do you know that that man sitting over there is your Uncle?" She nodded at Zane and continued with the same tone, "he will not hurt you. And the reason he
Chapter 64: Grand imperial hotel
At the Grand imperial hotel, Tara, Zane and Rose around the dining Table. The atmosphere was bright and comfortable, the expensive VIP lounge offering an unmistakable sense of comfort.Rose had showered and she was looking more fresh and comfortable in her uniform which had been immediately washed and dried with a machine by Tara. It was late in the night already and most boutique would have closed by that time.The door of the hotel rang and Zane stood up. "Here they are." He walked to the door and opened it gently. Behind the door, several uniformed staff workers lined up with lidded silver trays balanced in their palm.The general Manager was in front of the line. He gave a gentle bow and straightened up with a polite and professional smile on his face."The delicacies are ready, Mr. Mercer." He said politely. "Please come in." He said and stepped aside, allowing them to enter the room.They began to set the tray on the table one after the other in orderly arrangement. Bottles o
Chapter 63: One step, one decision
Boss." A sharp feminine voice came from the end as though Naomi, her assistance had never slept too. "You're still awake. Is it about the project?"Evelyn rose from the chair and nodded gently even though Naomi couldn't see her. "Yes, Naomi." She clipped, "Alexander Blackthorn is copying my work. Same pattern. Same logic. He's playing games and building the project Genesis behind the scenes while smiling at my face.""What!" Naomi gasped in shock. "How long?" "I found out about it seven days ago and I confirmed it yesterday." She exhaled softly walking towards the window. The Crisp evening breeze blew across her face, fluttering her hair behind. "He has been duplicating every procedure from the onset, hiding behind a Front company. And he's playing it well, paying enough investment so we won't suspect his motive." "The Blackthorn family is rich and powerful. Compared to the Hedge family, you're almost equal." Naomi said Smartly, thinking further. "he's not doing this for money or
Chapter 62: One step ahead
Alexander Blackthorn narrowed his eyes to the screen in keen observation. The emblem on the men's vests. It was familiar. The letter H. He stood straighter, his eyes still fixed on the badge, processing where he'd seen it before. Then it clicked.His brow furrowed."The Hedge family." He muttered at the realization, his voice slightly surprised. "So, this is the work of the Hedge family."He began to think what relationship existed between the Hedge and Zane which made them rescue the Kid from his place on Zane's behalf but he simply couldn't think of anything reasonable. The Hedge family has power, connection and wealth. Zane has nothing more to offer them.His finger curled tight in anger."So, they are the one backing that bastard," his jaw tightened, "no wonder he had been confident."The new realization that the Hedge family was backing the man who was his enemy ignited more hatred towards the Hedge family."I'll destroy the Hedge family as planned. When I'm finished with them,
Chapter 61: Infiltrated
Across the city at the Blackthorn's house, Alexander Blackthorn burst into the house with force that nearly unhinged the door.He stopped, his cold eyes sweeping across the floor. His securities were sprawling on the ground, groaning in pain and there was no sign of the Kid he captured in the room.His jaw tightened with anger."What in the God name happened in this place." He hissed, his voice cutting through the room angrily. "Where the fuck is the kid?" One bodyguard carried himself up from the ground, clutching his broken arm painfully."Master Blackthorn," he stammered, "we didn't know what suddenly happened... after you received the call and left....tear gases were thrown inside the building and we were attacked by unknown men— we couldn't see them. They dropped everyone and took the girl." Alexander's eyes darkened instantly."You piece of shit!!" He spat and swung a kick to the man's leg. His knee Buckled and gave out to the floor with a sharp crack. The man kowtowed deeply,
