As Lauren reached out to touch Oliver, her hand trembling slightly with anticipation, she could feel a surge of adrenaline coursing through her veins. The tension in the air was palpable as she made contact with him.Suddenly, a jolt shot through her body like an electric shock, causing her to gasp in pain. Ahhh!” Her muscles tensed, and she let out a loud scream as the force threw her backward with incredible strength.The sensation was overwhelming, as if a powerful energy had enveloped her, lifting her off her feet throwing her through the air. The impact was brutal as she collided with one of the tables at the back, shattering it into pieces upon impact.Pain radiated through her body as she lay amidst the wreckage, dazed and disoriented."Wow!" Sophia clapped, breaking the stunned silence that had settled over the place. Lauren was the one who touched Oliver, yet she was the affected one. Everyone, including Geronimo, was stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief. Oliver, however,
He paused, locking eyes with Lauren as he continued, his words cutting through the tension like a knife. "Listen, Detective. No man born of a woman, no minor deity existing on this earth, has the power to stand in front of Oliver Storm for even a minute. The bullet that can kill me hasn't been manufactured, and the weapon that can harm me hasn't been forged.”Oliver's gaze pierced through Lauren, his voice resonating with a chilling authority as he continued his proclamation of dominance."I am the harbinger of destruction, the architect of fate," he declared, his words carrying the weight of absolute certainty. "I am the tempest unleashed, the unyielding force that bends the very fabric of reality to my will.”A sense of awe washed over those present, their breath caught in their throats as they bore witness to Oliver's unbridled power. In his presence, they felt small and insignificant, mere mortals standing before a titan among men.Oliver's eyes bore into Lauren's, a glint of unde
Mentioning Oliver brought a flood of memories rushing back to Logan's mind—nights spent together, whispered conversations, and shared moments of intimacy. A bittersweet smile tugged at her lips as she pondered the complexities of their relationship."How I wished I could have carried the children of such a great man," Logan sighed softly, her thoughts drifting to what could have been. "But it didn't work out that way.”After she was done dressing, Logan descended the stairs and entered the living room, where Garcia Storm awaited her, seated elegantly on the sofa.Upon seeing Logan, Garcia rose with a warm smile, her eyes brightening at the sight of her companion. "How are you, my dear?" she inquired, her concern evident in her gentle tone.Logan nodded respectfully. "I'm fine, ma'am," she replied. "Have you taken your medications?”Garcia nodded affirmatively. "Of course, I have," she chuckled softly. "You would not let me rest if I didn't, so I always do."Taking Garcia's hands in he
Oliver's expression was stern as he listened to Arshad's fear-filled plea. He knew that Arshad had brought this predicament upon himself by attempting to carry out the contract on his life. When Arshad spoke of his fear for his life, Oliver's response was cold and pragmatic."Protecting yourself is up to you and not me," he said, his tone firm and unyielding. "You got yourself into useless problems, and now you must find a way out. Don't expect me to protect you. You have your own men; use them to find a solution.”With those words, Oliver ended the call abruptly, hanging up the phone. As Oliver hung up the phone, Zelda looked at him with concern in her eyes. "Hubby, is everything alright? Anything wrong?" she asked, sensing that the call might have been troubling.Oliver smiled warmly at her, his features softening. He leaned in and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips, a gesture meant to reassure her. "Don't worry, everything is fine," he said, his tone calm and soothing. "Just a mi
They waited for many hours, the anticipation building as the darkness of evening enveloped the surroundings. Some of the men had even drifted off to sleep inside the van when suddenly, one of them spotted Garcia's car approaching."Hey, Garcia is already coming in, let's get ready," he exclaimed, shaking his comrades awake.With renewed alertness, the men peered out of the van, their eyes fixated on Garcia's car as it pulled up to the entrance. Inside the car, Vespera remained composed, her keen assassin instincts guiding her observations.Seeing a parked car nearby, Vespera assessed the situation with a practiced eye. There were no signs of prolonged parking, indicating that the vehicle was likely there for a specific purpose. With a subtle smile, she continued driving into the estate.As Garcia and Logan disembarked from the car, Vespera stayed behind, maintaining her vigilance. Garcia glanced back at her with a frown, questioning her hesitation."Why are you standing there, Vespera
Oliver Storm was busy with his daily chores in the Ellison manor early in the morning, while his wife, Zelda Ellison, was busy dressing."Oliver, you better hurry up and wash the dishes and cook something for me because I am very hungry." Oliver's mother-in-law, Abigail Ellison, yelled."Mom, there are a lot of dishes to wash. Can you please cook the food so I can also continue with the dishes? " Oliver asked in a calm tone."You!" Abigail was enraged.."How dare you ask me to cook? You're so useless and poor, but dare you ask me to cook for you?" She asked coldly.Hearing Abigail's cold tone, Oliver lowered his head but said nothing."You better hurry up; my daughter has an important place to go and she can't leave on an empty stomach." Abigail slammed the door and went out after saying this."Zelda is going out. She might go with me, right? " Thinking of this, Oliver sped up with his chores so he could leave with his wife when he was done.Immediately after he finished cooking, the
“Poof!” Oliver could not help but spat a mouthful of blood, even though he knew their marriage was just a show, he had done all his best to get Zelda’s love so hearing her ask for a divorce broke his heart.Tears streamed down Oliver’s cheek. He turned to her and said, "Zelda, I know that not only have I not been a good husband and your life got destroyed because of me and I'm really sorry for that. You can call when the divorce papers are ready, so we can go and sign them.”“I wish you all "happiness in life". That was Oliver’s last sentence before leaving the room."Oliver’s last words hit Zelda hard, she did not understand why she was sad instead of being happy because Oliver was leaving her.At the same time, Oliver walked alone on the street, he didn’t have any dollar on him for him to be able to book a room so the only option for him was for him to sleep under the bridge.Just then, his phone rang. Seeing that it was a private number, Oliver felt puzzled as to who would call h
"Alice, I need to address my mother, where could she be? " Oliver quickly asked when the call was associated with. “Am sorry young master, as I stated earlier, President is busy at the moment and I guess she would contact you when there’s time.” Alice repliedOliver nodded; his mom was a billionaire so definitely there would always be a lot of important stuffs to deal with.He had a great deal of inquiries in his mind now."For what reason did mother leave me assuming that she was as yet alive?”"For what reason did I need to battle throughout everyday life in the event that I had a rich family?”"He realized Alice wasn't the most ideal individual to respond to every one of his inquiries so all he could do was to hung up.Immediately after hanging up, Oliver boarded a cab to one of the most luxurious hotels in Boston Hills, “Empire Hotel” he now had billions of dollars so that wasn’t a problem for him.At the same time in a luxurious room was seated a woman in her mid-50’s.
