87: Interwinked
Felix felt a flush of goosebumps on his shoulders. He thought he was clinically attentive to details, but his encounter with Victoria had shown how he needed to hone his skills in human psychology.For long, Victoria had kept her lips zipped on Eunice's secret about her involvement in Felix's covert mission, but an opportunity presented itself to have Mr. Hitler on her side, and she had to spill some words.“I'd advise you to keep playing according to the script. Eunice had a sole purpose of wanting you in the Haydens' family that she wouldn't even share with Lucia. Don't mess things up by confronting her with this information.”Victoria had to protect herself knowing how things could fall apart if Eunice had the slightest idea that she had been talking with Felix. She would most likely give Lucia some heads-up.Felix nodded in agreement and didn't push further for more information till she was ready to fill him in.She paused and chimed in, “I believe this address should ring a bell:
86: Her Script
Victoria Stones chimed a calculated beam at him and reacted opposite by standing to her feet. She let out a low grunt after sitting for almost half an hour.She cleared her throat and hummed one of her favorite jazz tunes while staring into the streets with the passerby having a purpose for the new day before dawn.“I mean, like today, Victoria. Can you explain it already?”Felix Jacobs said with a slight hitch of breath. He had been staring at her since she stood and still didn't understand how their discussion related to her darting at the passerby on the street.He frowned at the fact that since the conversation commenced, the physiologically alerted lady was always a step ahead while studying him like a book.One of the reasons he successfully sneaked into Star’s life before Achilles got involved in the first was because of how he swiftly got into her head to do certain things that would favor him most.Little wonder he lost his temper the moment Star confronted him about his sexc
85: Victoria's Game
Felix’s forehead knitted in displeasure as the last information rattled something in him and a new wave of resentment surged against Lucia.Victoria Stones chuckled in silence as she flashed a calculated stare at him. So far, she had done well in gripping Felix's attention.Felix sneered. “Why would she do that to her?”She let out a brief cackle and continued, “You’d need to work on your emotions man. This is the game and Lucia played it well on your godmother and got her kicked out.”Felix had been fond of Sharon and would always be grateful to her. She was the first top-tier player who believed in him and convinced the cartel he'd deliver in any form of covert assignment despite the entity’s doubt.Before the Haydens' job came. Felix had been involved in over fifteen covert missions and Sharon was the force that made all that happen.However, the news of her deceitful plot in scheming the cartel of profits was rather shocking, given the fact that both parties once had a strong busi
84: Sharon Grace Ring A Bell?
Felix Jacobs narrowed his eyes towards the Lady as her request sank into him.After a few seconds of processing her words, he burst into a chuckle that his body vibrated in the process.The Lady in white remained composed, still staring at him with a stylish gesture waiting for him to finish with his giggling.Felix’s lips returned to their original spot alongside a widening stare. Seeing that the Lady didn't flinch at his mocking gesture made him more intrigued.“Huh? Wait… You're actually serious? What?”Felix questioned as he leaned closer with a knitted forehead. There was something mysterious about the lady in white that he couldn't unravel.His consent to meet with her had better be worth it. The British Anti-Fraud Crime Commission's involvement in The Haydens’ past transactions was having a toll on him.“Finally he's asked the famous questions. I thought you wanted to laugh your ass off?”“Are you done making fun or should I lend you more time?”The lady's sarcasm was clean, an
83: She Must Fall
Margaret wished she could take the pain away. The thought of Rachael losing her little sister in the cold hands of death sent cold shivers down her spine.While Brig. Beauty winced nonstop, and her phone began buzzing.She jolted at the sound of the vibration. While about to take a stare at the caller, she prayed it should either be from Achilles or Anthony.Margaret mouthed with urgency, “Check… check who's calling.”Brig. Beauty’s breath came in with a sharp gasp as she held her phone and saw it was from the warlord.She showed her phone screen to Margaret whose heart swung in slight relief that Achilles didn't die after all.She struggled to pick up the call as it rang for over twenty seconds and disconnected.Margaret flashed her a confused stare at why she didn't indulge the warlord. Barely five minutes ago, Rachael was yearning to hear from them, and when her phone finally rang, she developed cold feet about picking up. Quite strange for Margaret to comprehend.“I don't get it.
82: Thoughts In Despair
Simultaneously, at The Faithful's undisclosed penthouse suite. Margaret Julian and Brig Rachael Beauty had a hard time settling their thoughts.So many what-ifs were creeping into their minds, and they couldn't help but ask themselves puzzled questions that none of them had a definite answer to.Every honking horn in the neighborhood tingled their blood flows to check if the warlord and the two Brigadiers had returned.They subconsciously had their eyes glued to the TV screen just in case the media had received news about any event related to Dora Beauty.After a moment of devastating silence, Brig. Beauty struggled to part her lips and asked a question making waves in her head.“Margaret, do you think something horrible had happened to—”She was yet to finish up when Margaret's raised eyebrows paused her tongue from moving for more words.Margaret arose and walked in her direction once more. Barely a minute ago, she was behind Rachel, massaging her shoulder to help relax her nerves.
