Ashes of the golden boy
At the Lumbard family house, the air was condensed. Mr. Lumbard paced up and down the living room, looking like fear was gradually eating up all sense of human.Mrs. Lumbard stood up, concern etching on her face but she maintained distance. She hadn't seen her husband fidgeting like this in their Twenty-five years of marriage. He screamed at her earlier. Unbelievable! Ridiculous!"Honey, this can be settled tomorrow...can er go to bed al..."Mr. Lumbard spun on her, his eyes darkened in rage. "Go to bed?" He cut her off rudely. "You want to sleep when my career is about to burn to ash! Do you know who that kid your son trampled on?!" His finger jabbed in the air."Who's he?" He paused to look at her like she was asking a stupid question. The door of the apartment parted and Connor dragged himself inside. His face reddened with the marks of fingerprints. Lumps bloomed across his face. He threw his head down in shame. The guy who had left in denim in jeans looks like he got attacked in
$30 million price ransom
Inside of a long abandoned warehouse skittered with planks and cartons. The ambiance was dim, the kind that's creepy for any souls, and the location was farther away from the metropolis, at the fringe of the city where internet connection had been severed, signals completely snapped. In summary, the connections had been cut off entirely. No call access. No signal. This place was designed by Tristan Cole to Carry out his dangerous operations, and unfortunately...maybe unfortunately for him, Vanessa became his next target.In the centre of the hall was Vanessa, her hands tired to the armrest of the chair. Her head dropped low, seemingly unconsciousness. The smell of cigarettes hit in the air as smoke curled in the air from a cigarette clipped between Rico's finger, piercing faint red light into the darkness.His height was average, but he loomed, scary like a shadow, his eyes marked with scars that could make a kid wet his pants.He pulled out the cigarette from his lips. "Wake her.
The assailants and Vanessa
Vanessa's car tore through the night along a quiet street, her knuckles paled on the steering wheel as she held it tight like her life depended on it— which of course it does. On the next seat was her phone, glowing with Dominic's name. He was the only one she thought of calling at that moment.She'd noticed a car following her from behind since the moment she went to Hakkasan. That same car had been on her tail when she left the restaurant too.She'd been uncertain if actually she was being followed, and so she accelerated the car and turned another corner only for the car to take her direction too. Fear ran her blood cold.She kept glancing at the side mirror. The car headlamp was off, but she could see it through the streetlight. "What am I gonna do. What am I gonna do." Dominic wasn't picking her call.With a racing heart, she quickly typed text on her phone with shaking hands. "I'm n dangee." It wasn't so correct but it was comprehensive enough. She sent the text to Dominic quic
The biggest blow at Imperial
Mr. Lumbard stumbled inside the hall, milk nightwear shuffling frantically with every quick movement. Actually, he wasn't moving— he was running like a possessed dog. His breathing was ragged and quick like a man who'd just finished intimacy on his woman. But it was fear. Fear fear!"Connor!!" His voice tore through the air like whip, freezing Connor mid-swing.Students gasps!Camera raised mid-air in shaking hands.The whole hall had gone mad with screams.Conner froze on the stage, his face drained of blood. "Dad...." His throat tightened.Mr. Lumbard stumbled over to the stage, nearly tripping on the mini flight stairs but he didn't care about himself, like the world behind him was collapsing. "You insolent bastard!" His palm swung, landing on Connor's face in a sickening crack. Connor tripped three steps back, his ear ringing with a siren sound. His vision swam Stars. Mr. Lumbard didn't allow him to recover. He yanked him close on his collar, glaring into his eyes."Who the heck

A call to conflict
Connor's phone buzzed. His heart seemed to pause for a long time but it was fleeting, before it skipped a beat. It was his dad calling. Why now? Why all of a sudden when he should be in deep slumber in his bedroom.Hesitations flickered in his eyes, his finger shaking on the phone screen. For what reason could his father be calling by that late hour of the night? The symphonic rhythm of the music suddenly faded in his ear, the chatters turned to mourning in his ear.Rosa leaned closer. "Is there a problem, babe?" But he got no response.Dominic's head tilted. "Won't you like to pick your...call?" His hands slide into his pocket gently.Connor's jaw pressed together so hard his gum paled. His mind jumbled, asking one question repeatedly. Why? why? why?He picked up the call with a heavy finger and he immediately regretted it.Mr. Lumbard 's voice cracked through the speaker like a whip, trembling in horror and fear."What have you done you idiot," His voice quivered through. "W—who ha
