138: What A Shame!
Aside from detesting Felix's tone while addressing the Prime Minister. Michelle also fumed at his scornful remark about whether her husband knew about her sneaking out.She knew it was the hard truth, but didn't want to hear such from someone else, and definitely not from Felix Jacobs’ loud mouth.Felix's pupils turned reddish, his heart burned in fury but he did all he could to suppress the annoyance.The night's supposed meeting was going off his envisioned plan. He never expected any of the women to invite Michelle Brentford, the invisible player controlling the illegal market business.All he wanted was to have Lucia and Victoria present to hear his demands while giving them no option but to buy his rigid idea.Why involve the invisible main player?Unknown to Felix, while Lucia Montoya called him on her awareness of his invasion of the discreet apartment. She immediately informed Michelle of the weird situation at hand.However, unknown to Lucia, Michelle had already arrived at t
137: No-Nonsense
Instantly eyes turned towards the southwest corner of the rooftop. They couldn't see the face behind the voice because it was covered in a silhouette.From all indications, the stranger knew about the rooftop meeting and had come to honor it. But why? Who exactly is the unknown person?The voice sounded familiar which intrigued Lucia Montoya and Victoria Stones.Curiosity had Felix's eyes glued on the exact spot, waiting to see if the mysterious personnel would eventually step out.The voice chimed in with mystery and calmness, “The meeting was scheduled earlier. You guys don't keep to time?”From all indications, it was crystal clear that the fourth party had arrived earlier than Felix and was strategically positioned in a shadowed corner.Lucia and Victoria still threw each other stern glances while thudding their fingers on their thighs to settle the growing anxiety.Victoria cursed Felix under her breath while wondering why he couldn't play according to the script. There shouldn't
136: Eunice/Felix?
The Faithfuls narrowed their eyes towards the Warlord. They weren't really surprised about him taking proactive measures immediately after receiving the information.On seeing their reactions, the Warlord inquired with intent, “What do you guys think about a man who sought to get to the root of a case, suddenly flushes it down the drain when he's a few steps in finding all the answers?”Anthony and Mr. Scott blinked their eyelids in acknowledgment. That was the same question making waves in their minds.Dora was about to respond before Achilles clicked his lips and spoke. “My dear, that was rhetorical…”Achilles continued, “Mr. Donald, from the onset, was on the right track. He must have been influenced to do the stark opposite. Ohh, I'm so sure of that.”They inquired in unison, as though it was scripted, “Could it be blackmail?”Achilles exuded a mysterious smirk. “Now y'all are thinking like the Warlord. That's why I already initiated a discreet investigation on him.”“The best way
135: Under The Rug
The Faithfuls had been so hooked on managing A and H Enterprises that they slightly lost track of the Haydens’ fraudulent interrogation case.They knew that the British Anti-Fraud Crime and Commission got involved which was a good sign of exposing what the offshore accounts were really used for.Achilles' abrupt information came as a shock. The investigation was about to kick-start and suddenly charges had been dropped.All shades of the latest information smelled suspicious. The lovebird darted their eyes to understand what was going on. Another detail that they needed to be fully informed about.Margaret tucked her phone back into her pocket and spilled the obvious question:“This must have been done under the radar ‘cause it wasn't broadcast on most media outlets. What really happened? Is there something we're missing?”The furious aura once etched on Brig. Stone's expression suddenly faded into a disbelief countenance.From how he stared and snapped his fingers. It looked like Mar
134: Eyes On Targets
Achilles beamed and leaned from his high chair. Dora was spilling the exact thing he discussed with George weeks ago after they realized Victoria was his stepmother.Achilles knew George was still battling with the trauma of what she had done while married to his late father.The Warlord deliberately allowed him to think things through and make up his mind on the battle ahead.In barely an hour of the newly inducted members. Dora could sense the doubt and fear George was wrestling with.Brig. Stones remained stunned and wondered how she meticulously read through his tone. At least he thought Rachael could have whispered a word about him to Dora, but on second thought, it dawned on him that nothing of such happened.He had to inquire, “Wow… how did you?—”Dora politely interjected, “Because my older sister and I also had a step-mother. She might be dead but the images of how horribly she treated us still flash once in a while.”The atmosphere flushed into subtle emotions as Dora and Ra
133: Lovebirds&Male-brigadiers
The curiosity in the room intensified after Ms. Julian's last words. She had been in steady communication with the sources in Liverpool, hence, it was expected she'd have more information on the unfolding events.Achilles gave a signal for her to continue for better clarity, as time mightn't be on their side.Anthony and Dora, who were barely inducted thirty minutes ago, were already hooked to know all therein about the struggle for power between Felix Jacobs and Victoria Stones.Brig. Stone’s face was contorted with a frown. He had had enough time to ponder about his step-mother and it'd end in one outcome: an inevitable battle!Margaret cleared her throat. “Our sources detected an ambush shortly before the rooftop meeting commenced.”Her words echoed across the room and had the Faithfuls’ faces flushed with confusion.Brig. Beauty was the first to make an inquiry, “An ambush? Didn't they agree on a suitable meet-up location?”Her question resonated with others as they nodded to supp
