192: Sole Hayden Company
Achilles drew a deep breath and blinked an eyelid before musing, ‘I’m very much alive nigger.’The Warlord contemplated showing forth inside the Hall and gave Michael a shocking episode, but on second thought, he decided to remain in the car.If there was the tiniest chance that Michael was being used by the cartel to lure him out— he wouldn't fall for it.Also, whatever information he craved, Margaret should be tactical enough in fetching all that Michael knew about seeing a replica of his father.Margaret wanted to inquire from the horse's mouth why he broke the ‘guys code’ and not inform Achilles about his sexual situation with Star before or after the official introduction.However, asking that simply suggests that she should be in close communication with Achilles ‘cause only a very few people knew it was through Michael that both knew.“If I had paid a little attention to Achilles' defence of his father being innocent and rethought the murder crime, maybe I would have noticed th
191: Puzzled Questions
**“A doppëlganger?”Margaret Julian stared deeply into Michael's eyes and couldn't find an iota of humor in his expression.For almost a minute, both had been exchanging eye-narrowing glances with weird reactions.Margaret was expecting a verbal reaction from the Faithfuls and most especially Achilles but all were struck with silence.Achilles Hector’s mind whirled to the past and the times he shared with his dead father trying to solve the puzzle building in reality.It was becoming clearer that Michael didn't have ulterior motives for inviting his step-sister and really wanted to share delicate information with her.Before things went haywire after Sire Rollin Julian's murder— Achilles had always known that Michael wasn't a good liar. Has he suddenly become one?Why would he bother to get Margaret out to lie to her about something they hadn't discussed in several months?Michael deliberately kept silent after his last statement, waiting for Margaret to express her thoughts after th
190: “I’ve Been A Fool”
**Back to Leoffred Happy Mall, Phase Three, Dr. Lloyd strode closer to Star Hayden's position with the mysterious caller. He'd need to take shots of the ongoing meeting or at least make videos.Star's brow raised with questions screaming in her expression. She finally responded, “You're getting me all lost here. Do you have a personal issue with my mum? Well, I wouldn't be surprised if she got into your skin.”Star sighed and tried to downplay the initial, punchy statement made by the mysterious personnel.“Are you deliberately trying to be ignorant, or do you prefer not knowing the truth?”Star shot back, “What truth? I know nothing about you. How do I know you weren't sent by my mum? I've known her to know how far she can go to have control over situations and narratives.”Those thoughts had crawled into Star's heart right from the moment she drove off to Leoffred Happy Mall. She didn't write off the possibility that the whole mystery caller could be one of Eunice's gimmicks to hoo
189: Ethan Hector
Ethan Hector stood wearing a mysterious expression and began to clap his hands, his eyes darting at all the faces before him.“What a great speech!” He heightened his voice and continually jammed his palms.He moved closer to Isabella Cortez, who narrowed her eyes, trying to decipher what his real intent was.The nearer he strode towards her the more the suspense in the room intensified.Ethan deliberately walked behind her and tendered her cheeks with a smooth peck:“Great words baby. How much I've missed your punchy words.”Isabella's breath came in sharp as she could remember how Ethan's firm grip always got her in the mood.Both were teenage lovers back in college, but Ethan’s dream to excel in Britain's military halted what they shared, but he always had his way with her.Ethan strode back to his chair, his countenance stern, his eyes darkened. “Finally we've gotten somewhere.”“Finally, someone has said to some extent how it happened. My plan to use my twin brother as the scapeg
188: Doppëlganger/Twin?
It seemed like Margaret had been waiting for an opportunity to unleash the dissatisfaction she had harbored from Michael's actions toward her, and an opportunity had finally presented itself.Achilles didn't mutter a word to Margaret and kept watching the episode. He believed that wasn't the right time to ask her not to express a little bit of her emotions.Margaret hissed and went on. “The only reason I'm here is about the controversy behind our father's death. You think it wasn't Brig. Anthony Hector, who murdered him? Why? All of a sudden you're buying my idea.”Michael’s eyes burned with tears as he raised his head and looked straight into her face.Margaret flinched for a moment; she had never seen him shed a tear. It seemed like she was seeing a different version of her step-brother.“Before I delve into the main reason I asked to see you. I have no justification whatsoever to treat you the way I did. I deserve every cold attitude you've been dishing out ‘cause I did worse.”“Wh
187: Margaret's Outburst
“Force him out of the shadows?!”Most of the cartel members echoed out of impulse and leaned from their chairs as their curiosity piqued.The unexpected figure gave a short, unpredictable giggle while scanning their puzzled faces with his eyes.Vidal Marcel had to inquire. “You sound quite certain about Achilles. Do you have any evidence?”Vidal expressed the thoughts of others including that of the cartel executor, Victor Escobar.They hadn't seen the unexpected figure for almost a year and suddenly he was in their faces with the belief that Achilles was still alive. How and why?The unexpected figure huffed, drummed his fingers on the round table, and leaned further to engage them.They all fixated their eyes on him like he was some goldmine that must be studied.“Brethren. We have dominated Liverpool for the longest! The cartel always gets what it wants. When did things start going south?”“I would appreciate it if y'all breathe out the raw answer. What really happened?”**While h
