After the call, Richard remained in his seat gritting his teeth and also biting his fingertips occasionally. He wouldn’t stop thinking about how infuriating it was to just let August go like that without giving him a piece of him. Indeed, his men were just the worst.

They couldn’t stop one man from coming in so he could have time to toy with Caroline the way he saw fit. Now he had missed a shot at such a beauty.

Ring! Ring!

Just then, his phone started buzzing, he looked at it and saw it was the number he had just called requesting information about August. Quickly he picked it up.

“Hello, we have found some information about August Reed. He is just a penniless man who was found in the street three years ago. The Winston family took pity on him and made him marry Caroline.

“Though he had been a cripple all through, his leg was recently treated.” The voice said.

“Hmp, so he doesn't have a tough background, huh? That means what Rachel told me was true. And he likely just got lucky defea

    They kissed for a long time, savoring the moment before pulling away. Caroline didn’t push him away even as it came unexpected. The taste of his lips in her mouth was just so heavenly that she didn’t want him to stop, but then she ran out of breath.“I…” she looked away. “Love you too.” Her face flushed. “Not because you are the man who saved me before, but you are the only one who has stood by me these years, seen my worth, and never wants me to be tied down by those absurd family rules.” She added.August heart fluttered in excitement. Indeed, it was a good idea to have kissed her just now. Her eyes held pure emotion and knowing her, she was telling him the truth. Does this mean she had formally accepted him?“Thank you, Caroline. I’ll make you realize how deserving I am of your love. Then if you are willing, we will marry again as the first seemed forced.” He suggested while she nodded her head in agreement.“Okay. I’d love that too.” She said before turning to face the house.“You

    “I’m at our temporary warehouse close to the Wang project. The place is all a mess right now. Everything has been lost.” Ayden replied.“I will be there soon,” August said before hanging up.His grip tightened on the steering wheel, and he drifted out of the house to the road before accelerating away. Nathaniel had chosen war, and he was ready to take him on.Already, he had warned him but somehow he was able l stubbornly go further with his plan. Was that to suffer him or what? Since he thought he could, then it was time he suffered too.Angrily, he pulled out his phone and made a call again. “Hello, deploy your forces. I want Moonlight Corporation to be shut down and also, their warehouses to stop working. Destroy each of them to the ground and wait for my next orders.” August ordered before hanging up. A deadly glint appeared in his eyes before he floored the gas pedal again heading towards the Wang project.…Meanwhile, at the top floor of moonlight corporation, Nathaniel was seat

    “What? Armed military men? Did we offend a big shot in the military?” Nathaniel's thoughts began to run amok in his head.“Military men? Did we offend someone? This must be wrong right? Someone has to tell them that this is wrong!” One of the shareholders said in fear as the room became too silent.Everyone was pondering in under heads shocked by the situation. Nathaniel began to have an ominous premonition. Should he say this was August? But on second thought he couldn’t believe August held such power to command the military when he had left there a long time ago.And besides, the rank he held wasn’t a high one before he was crippled and sent out. That was the information he got. Or does this mean he missed something? How on earth were there military personnel here? The more he thought about it the more his thoughts were breaking into fragments making it difficult for him to solve the puzzle.“Geoffrey. Yes, Geoffrey can help.” Nathaniel said and quickly took his phone to make the c

    “Yes sir.” The lieutenant behind August acknowledged and next thing, he gave a signal to the wingman standing beside him. “Come in:” the wingman communicated through a chip he was wearing and next thing, five uniformed men walked into the office. They looked towards august. Making sure to salute him before looking back at the lieutenant.“Pick them up and lock them up!” He ordered.Seeing what was going on before their eyes, if they didn't want to believe the kind of power August held, they were left with no choice. These men looked at him and even saluted like he was someone of high status even when it was known that he had left the military a long time ago.“Please August. Don't let them take us. We will do anything you want. Even if you want the company you can take it. Please have a heart and forgive us.” Nathanial was already in tears as he had heard tales about people who were locked up in barracks:Their lives had never remained the same. He didn't want to go through such a si

    Meanwhile, Caroline who was dropped off at Aurora Corporation was smiling all through as she delivered the news to not just Frederick but everyone in the company.Just when hope was lost as other clients weren't saying anything about their deals, Apex Corporation had to step in and do a miracle. The internet had taken it, revealing that Apex and Aurora were now in partnership with each other.This was quick to drew the attention of other small companies and also the ones who were in partnership with aurora and didn't say anything after the heated news that went around.“That's great. Can you tell me how you were able to convince them?” Seated on a chair opposite Caroline, Frederick asked their wife a glint of excitement in his eyes.“It's actually,” Caroline paused. She would have disclosed it was August but on second thought, it would seem too easy as though she wasn’t hardworking enough. Besides, no one would want to believe he had a company so to save herself some stress of explai

    “Where have you been? Why aren't you with Richard instead you are coming back with August? Explain everything to me right away!” Rachel scolded furiously.Not long ago, she called Richard to ask if things were progressing smoothly, only to be told that August barged in and ruined things for them. It seems he was like a bad spirit or omen that was always out to spoil things.Worst of it, Caroline was condoning such nonsense. Instead of her to soothe Richard's mood so he wouldn't get angry, she left with that bastard. He was the scion of Orlando Oil and Gas Corporation. Marrying him would come with so many benefits, so of course Rachel had to do everything in her power to make it work.“Mom?” Caroline looked at her. Then she recalled all that happened. It was all a bad experience. “Richard, he tried to take advantage of me. August came to my rescue or else who knows what would have happened.” She tried to explain, but Rachel's expression got even worse.“And what if he tried to take adv

    Turning to see them, Rachel's eyes sparked. Her backups had arrived and not only would she be able to send August away, she would even put Caroline in her place for disobeying her.“Do your job and beat this person up. You can wound him, cripple him, just dump him out like trash. I don't care.” Rachel said, pointing August to them.“Mom, how can you say that?” Caroline was in utter disbelief after hearing what she said.“Shut up. He asked for it, so I'm giving him exactly what he wants.” She sneered before looking back to Tom. “Do it now.” She ordered.Both Tom and Ezra turned to look at August cracking their knuckles.However, they couldn't help but remember what had happened previously. August easily defeated Ezra without putting much pressure on it and that earned him some days in the hospital.Should he call that luck? Or perhaps it was because it wasn't the two of them at that time that was why he was able to take Ezra down? Regardless, they had to beat him up today.However, Aug

    August drove Caroline to Pearl Villa and both of them settled down. She was surprised to see August had already selected feminine clothes and stuffed them into the wardrobe just for her.That wasn't all, he decorated her room in stylish pink similar to her room back home, but this was one was more. It had so many things, such as a small library, a dressing room, and a collection of both shoes and bags. It and been a while since she had gotten into the room and ever since, she hadn't said a word as she was struck in awe.By the side, August studied her expression, waiting for what her comment was going to be. Perhaps it wasn't up to her taste, but he made sure to do the best could.“If you don't want it, I can call house management to come and set the room again to your liking.” He asked after a while of silence.“Huh? What are you saying? I don't like it. I love it.” She confessed making his sullen expression brighten up.“Oh, I thought you didn't like it.” He confessed.“I do, I was

    “How dare you! August Reed, don't push your limit. I don't always have a good temper!” Peter couldn't hold it in anymore. Seeing that smug expression, how he was mocking him and didn't even feel anything for what he had done was making him madder.His only son would have died. If such would have happened, who would be the one to supersede him? Should he adopt a child or what? The more he thought about it, the angrier he was becoming.“Are you hurt? Are you angry? That's exactly what I have been feeling for years. You planned my demise and you expect me to go easy on you? Who does that.” August said with a playful smirk on his lips.“Now let's get to the point. Give me names and also sign off all your property to me.” He added, staring coldly at him.“And why should I sign it off to you? I only took money but nothing else. If you want, I can write you a check for five hundred million so you can leave.” Peter replied, creasing his brows at him.“Five hundred million? Indeed you are bol

    Meanwhile, just then, August arrived at the company with David. Both of them were still inside the car when they craned their head to look at the tall building before them.As the name implies, it was a tall sleek building with several floors. The name was boldly carved in front with an explicit craftsmanship. As for the refinery, it was located behind the tall building.Besides that was of no concern to him. Who he had business with was in this building and on the top floor. That was where he was going to go to settle scores.“Let's go,” August said before hopping down while David followed. Both of them approached the entrance and got in. Immediately, they became the subject of attention but none of them cared.Just then, August felt a compelling aura coming from the top. He didn't expect this to be easy after all. Peter Derrick might be waiting for him already or even set traps. This made his lips curl into a smirk, and he looked to the side to David. Both of them exchanged glances

  • Meeting one of the council members

    She moved closer, pressing herself into him as she squealed in excitement. August didn't complain as rather he was enjoying it and also, the feeling of seeing her happy was a thing to kill for.“Sorry.” Her face flushed hard, and she pulled off after realizing she was squeezing him too tightly.“It's fine. Don't forget that you have to go to work.” He reminded them and watched her nod her head in agreement. “I will see you when I get back.” she placed a kiss on his cheek before turning and hurrying towards the car. As she got closer, she couldn't help but examine its features.After all, it was a BMW. A car known for its powerful performance, sleek design, and advanced technology. It offered a comfortable and premium driving experience, with innovative features and a reputation for quality. Though she had wanted a car, she never thought of something this expensive and flashy.Rather she would have gone for an Audi as it was a few thousand dollars compared to this one. Quickly, she op

  • Its true?

    The next morning arrived quite fast. August slept in Caroline's room, both of them had been curdling for the entire night, and didn't even realize it was morning not until his phone started buzzing on the side cupboard close to the bed.The sound was so alarming that it didn't only wake August but Caroline too. He yawned and looked at his phone thinking about switching it off for disturbing him but when he brought the screen to his face, he saw it was David calling.Wondering what it must be about, he picked it up.“You do know that it's too early right?” He grumbled.“Early? Have you checked the time? It's already ten o'clock. Or don't tell me you are curdling with your wife so much that you don't want to wake up?” David teased. The phone was on a loudspeaker so Caroline heard it all. Her face flushed and quickly, she scurried off to the bathroom.August smiled before returning his attention to the phone. “What's wrong? Talk to me?” He spoke.“This is good news and might be consider

    “Do you think you have subdued me? Are you sure about that?” Sniper said, his lip curled up. Even as he was pinned on the floor, it felt like he still had the situation under his control. August had a hunch. He looked around trying to pinpoint where the danger might be coming from when Sniper pulled out a small device from his mouth and threw it onto the floor.Bloom!Next thing, there was smoke everywhere. The smoke was foggy but what's more, it seemed to be hot to the eyes. Before August could close his eyes, a bit of the smoke had gotten in and now the effect was taking place.“What's this? Pepper powder or what?” August winched in pain but just then, Sniper was able to use the opportunity to his advantage. August wasn't as strong as he was before, so all Sniper did was force his hand out of his grip, and then he quickly turned to face August, thereby pushing him off.This made August stagger to the back. The substance in his eyes was still hurting, and he had yet to overcome it

    Gulp!Richard choked, and his mouth turned sour as the content went right in. His eyes palpitated, and he quickly wanted to spill it out, but August had already crouched down and held his throat. His fingers wrapped around his neck were like iron claws, forcing him in place.“Swallow it.” He ordered. His voice held a hint of threat, one that signified he was going to crush his throat if he didn't swallow it.“Plea–” Richard wanted to beg but as a result, the venom was able to slip down his throat.Seeing this, August pulled away smiling. “Now this is a final warning. If you survive today, eventually, and come after me, I will kill you. Read my lips, I am going to kill you.” He said, and with that, he walked towards the door and left.“Help, someone help.” Richard's entire body began to burn up. The venom was taking effect in his system, and soon he was going to die. He knew this. After all, he handpicked this venom due to how fast it worked just so he could test it out on August.But

  • But, I will die

    “Be a good boy and open your mouth so I can empty this venom inside.” The man in suit turned towards August grinning as he spoke, taking him like a fool and someone who would easily be forced to do something out of fear. All fifteen men gathered stepped forward and were facing him. There was no way he would dare to say he wouldn't do as he was told.“Be fast. We staked a lot of money on you. Or do you want us to pin you on the floor and feed the poison to you by force?” Another man asked while the others began to chuckle.“I'll give you a chance. Give that venom to Richard over there, and then I might let you live.” August said with a deadly aura that seized the tension in the air. The men shuddered looking into his eyes that was like a void but soon after, they were quick to shrug the feeling off. “What are you doing? Attack him at once.” Richard bellowed from behind as he was so eager to see August jerking on the floor and then dying while he laughed at him.“Okay, boss.” The men
