Brig Scott's words hit differently in their ears. They exchanged eye contact with an awakening thought.

Margaret’s eyes glimmered redder in fury. She mightn't be a victim like the female staff members in A and H Luxury Dior, but she had had a fair share of male perverts who would never render help without requesting the obvious.

One of the reasons she'd always remain grateful to the late Brig. Anthony Hector, Achilles' father was how he gave her a golden opportunity to explore the world of Real Estate without ulterior motives.

Achilles chipped in, his words stable. “Easy Faithfuls. Don't panic excessively. I believe whoever was involved hadn't decided to make a move in blackmailing the female staff members. If not, we would have received complaints earlier.”

The Faithfuls nodded but their shoulders struck with goosebumps. Margaret found the edge of a couch to rest her waist.

Brig. Stone's phone buzzed, and it was from the head of the operations department calling. They all gl

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.
81: Beyond Redemption! No Going Back
Anthony texted Achilles on the latest development to keep him apprised while he headed towards the counter to make payments and sort out other necessary requirements.Since Achilles hung the call on Victor Escobar he hadn't spilled a single word to the cartel members.The call was on loudspeaker hence they heard the unknown personnel’s distorted voice and the threats that oozed from each of his words.It wasn't news that they were in a war with a determined fellow who wouldn't rest until they paid for their transgressions.No one had ever threatened the cartel in such a demeaning manner, and whoever it was had enough balls.Isabella cleared her throat, she sighed in frustration as the meeting was rather too long with different downsizing events.She couldn't wait for everyone to get dismissed so she could have another night's rest as the slap of reality wasn't a good one to endure.Victor Escobar finally broke the gripping silence, “If you have something to say. You had better air you
80: Loudmouthed
Achilles gave a cold scoff then disconnected the call before the caller would have a grip to indulge him.There was a moment of verbal silence between the warlord and the two inquisitive Brigadiers standing before him.All they could use to communicate with him was blinking their eyelids as they couldn't wait to know who the caller was and what was really unfolding.Achilles cleared his throat and chimed in more smirks wrapped with intent.He had been looking forward to the day he'd have a chance to dish his piece of mind beyond the ears of The Faithfuls and it was looking like that had just happened.“I believe the caller is a top-ranking member of the cartel. He's no ordinary citizen who loves spurring chaos. He's surely a top player.”The Brigadiers couldn't help but muffle a beam as they loved every single word the warlord used during the car conversation before disconnecting the call.It was looking like Achilles was patiently waiting for the assassin's phone to ring so he'd swin
79: Judgement Is Ticking
Dora's feeling of doing something brave suspended the guilt she had nursed for leaving the house.She had no regrets for taking the bullet for Achilles. At least she'd be remembered for something selfless if she didn't survive.She didn't know the warlord in person but coming for her rescue, it felt like she had known him for the longest.She was certain he was the same mysterious figure that saved Anthony’s life, even though her fiancè had been avoiding disclosing the full details despite her inquiry.A white Toyota brand car screeched on the roadside in front of Lifehope Unique Hospital. A young man in haste alighted and sprinted towards Achilles' position.Brig. Stones marched the brake to a temporary stop while Brig. Scott alighted from behind.Brig. Stones looked up and mouthed, “Wow. Anthony is here.”Achilles didn't look surprised which only meant one thing:Before the warlord went in to eliminate most of the assassins. He reached out to Anthony and permitted him to head toward
78: Thank You Ms. Beauty
Achilles kept applying pressure on Dora while carrying her on foot, heading towards her car, while Brig. Stones zoomed off within seconds.Brig. Scott revved the other car's engine and joined in the driving parade.Achilles prayed in his heart for Dora to stay alive beyond the night. She meant the world to Rachael as both only had each other as family.Achilles inquired in a hasty breath, “From the roadmap. Which hospital is the closest?”Brig. Stones on the wheel responded without delay, “I don't need a roadmap. I'm familiar with this residence. Lifehope Unique Hospitals is about a five-minute drive.”Achilles sighed and kept staring at Dora's helpless state, and wondered what would have happened if he hadn't gone with the two Brigadiers.With the help of constant pressure on her. The warlord kept Dora’s eyes barely open while they hoped for a miracle.He could feel her pulse throbbing and felt pity for her. Dora kept fighting to hold on with the warlord's voice echoing into her sens
