Chapter 13 Lorraine finally woke up after six hours of her admission into the hospital. The cut on her abdomen has been patched up and cleanse, she also felt better than she did when she passed out in Avon’s arms. Her eyes glanced up and around the room, on an executive chair inside the room was Avon, seated with his eyes rested on the child he has asleep in his arms. Lorraine watched the sensual scene, and a little smile pulled open on her lips. She has doubted this strange man to be a danger to herself and her son, but he’s proven her wrong in a lot of ways. She even took a hit for him, the stab down her stomach was due to his presence. And here he is, by her side, with her child safe and asleep in his arms. In after so many years, Lorraine felt a pinch of happiness nudge her system, and that alone leveled her positivity. It does seems like the breeze of her life has changed, and it might be for the better. “You’re awake,” with his eyes fixed still on the kid, Avon said to a l
Chapter 12Lorraine’s eyes blinked into a still motion when a sharp edge plunged into her stomach. Her lips parted into a slow gasp as pain sailed from the hit and straight into her body. Blood gushed out in heavy flow as her stance faltered. She fell to the floor in a slow thud, her shaky hands close to her stomach to feel the impact of the pain. Avon snapped back to his senses as he moved out of his frozen spot, he grabbed Frank’s neck from behind and twisted it effortlessly before he tossed his body to the other side of the room. He ran straight to where Lorraine was, and quickly settled her body in his arms. He examined the stab with vibrant fear in his eyes. He was a medical personnel for sometime during his life at the military, yet his brain found it hard to operate at the sight of his wife in pain. Muffled groans cracked out of her as her eyes rolled deep into her socket in anguish. “Breathe love, fuck! I told you not to come.” Avon steamed with panic as he looked around
Chapter 11 Avon anticipated his arrival back home. Memories that circled events from five years back creaked in, when he took Kory in and trusted her. He’d thought she was really helpless, thought she was in a situation that mirrored his back when he was orphaned to become a lowlife civilian. The only difference was, he fell victim to schemes, and thought she’s a victim to human’s viciousness. Unbeknownst to him, she’s an ally; more than an ally even, she’s a deeper than a partner with his life’s antagonist. The one thing that surprised him however was how she managed to kill herself, and remain alive. The whole thing was confusing for Avon to break through and understand. Their ride soon pulled over at the driveway, one of the men in sight rushed over and opened the door for Avon. He stepped outside with his son carried in his arms, Lorraine on the other side had also stepped out. Castian who wasn’t that far away caught with Avon. “The guests are seated at the living room. I tr
Chapter 10 Avon first off took his kid to an ice cream store to get him a bountiful scoop, he also ordered all of Atlas’s favorite type of cookies. Afterwards, he took him to an amusement park in the city for some rides. He spent the entirety of his afternoon having fun with him. Atlas has not gotten familiar with him yet, but he seems to be enjoying his company, the same with Lorraine. They both were cheering up to his presence. Avon also took him to a gadgets store, particularly the kid’s section. He bought him a lot of mechanical toys, tablets, he got him a handful of stuffs to play with. Hours of fun later, they rode straight to the city’s station. Lorraine expected them to go home, but was confused when their ride came to halt in front of the station. “You should stay here little man, your mom and I will be right back,” Avon said to Atlas as he patted him on the back. He nodded, a smile on his face that highlighted his deep rosy dimples on both side of his cheeks. Avon peak
Chapter 9 Five years ago, Lorraine Hales Barksdale leveled her relationship with her husband, Avon Barksdale when she announced to him that she was pregnant. That they were having their own little family. Her husband received this news with great joy, he instantly became more affectionate towards her, showed her great and excessive love and enthusiasm. He made sure she was well fed, always provided for, and never left alone. Lorraine never felt the weight of her pregnancy throughout, her husband made it extremely easy for hera through. After she gave birth to a baby boy, the joy that shrouded the Barksdale family knew no bound. It was like the baby came in to signal a better start since Kory died and was gone, and everything else began to run smoothly. Sooner than expected, darkness descended and she got the news of her husband slipping to coma. As if that wasn’t enough, words got out that Lorraine was behind Kory Anders’ untimely demise and that led to her detainment in the city
Chapter 8 Avon came to halt with his little replica, who stood at the middle of himself and Lorraine. He shrunk back to hid behind Avon’s legs the moment he saw Richard stepped out. Avon felt the strange reaction, he looked down at Lorraine and noticed the slight difference in her posture, her gaze now held fright as it devour Richard’s appearance. He also noticed how she instantly gripped the sides of her cloth, she held on tightly to it. What was Richard doing to her?His eyes turned cold at the mere sight of Richard, as well as the thriving urge to get violent with him. “Are you here to submit the divorce papers, or to submit yourself to your certain demise?” Avon questioned, the base of his tone stoic as well as the expression smeared on his face. “Neither, I’m here to flip your newly reign over.” He mouthed a dark chuckle. His gaze trailed over to Atlas and Lorraine as he stepped forward, “Get to my side baby, get away from that monster,” he gestured to them, a friendly smile
Chapter 7 After Avon had finish up at the Caston Group, he got into a ride straight to The Noble House. He’d recall to how it went with his last visit, how Lorraine’s had treated him and threw him out. He was going to lay claim on his son, and offer Lorraine herself an ultimatum so she could stay with him. Long enough for him to figure out how to rid the hex that has hacked her brain and memory. Avon still had no idea what happened to his powers, but that did not deter his will to fight and collect back what was stolen from him. He never needed the powers in the first place, it was just a mere plus. The powers even made him forgot who he was, he is the Almighty Dragon General. The man who had fought thousands of men and came out victorious, the man who’d lead wars into a trapped field and exit with triumph. He is not to be trifled with, he is to be feared and respected. It is high time the citizens of EastHill know once again who the Dragon General is. The Great Five Families has
Chapter 6 There was nothing Richard could do, a move he could pull, a twist he could make, that would work in his favor and totter the Dragon General. “Two more minutes,” Richard forced his feet into motion as he traced his path to a corner of his office, there he made some moves that revealed a secret inn inside the office. He went inside alone, Avon stayed back and didn’t give the order for his man to follow him. He went inside the cubed space room, at the middle was a tall and standing placement that housed a metal safe. He got to the safe and typed in the pin. The safe cracked open and a box came into sight, he brought out the box made of plastic glass. Inside the box were multiple papers neatly stacked in sets. He took the box with him and returned back to the office where Avon was seated, waiting for him. He handed the box over to him by dropping it on the table in front of Avon. “Needless to mention that if any of the documents in here are fake or forged, the consequence
Chapter 5 The next day came quickly and Avon sets his sights opened early as he strolled down the stairs all freshened and dressed up. With no lingering space for breakfast, he opted for a cup of coffee instead before he saw himself himself out of his apartment. He had with him a briefcase that looked exactly like the one he collected from Damian, Damian who’d left after his thorough narration about all he missed. Avon showed his appreciation, plain and simple, but beneath his crisp attitude was him joyous and beyond happy that Damien could help as well as be his savior. He doesn’t seem to know anything about this extraordinary talent so he wouldn’t know how he’s become so empty without them. His priorities weren’t even to get back his powers, it was to get back his legacy and that is his son, then stop playing around with Richard and his family. It is high time they taste the sour taste of defeat. He’s tasted it twice and no more, once when he lost his family to the Great Five’
