My eyes darted toward the woman who had just walked in. Her confident stride, the way she removed her dark shades and looked around the room as if she already owned it—I knew instantly that she wasn’t someone to be underestimated.

The room went still as Fiona’s smile faded, her grip on the children tightening for a split second. "You're not in charge of anything here," Fiona said, her voice cold and sharp. "Grandfather’s will hasn’t been read yet."

"Do you think it matters?" the woman sneered,

    Sniper’s breathing was ragged as he tried to figure out where he was. The thick black blindfold did a good job of keeping his eyes covered.His breathing remained shallow as he turned from side to side, desperately trying to determine his location.The squeaking sound of a table could be heard nearby.Suddenly, the blindfold was removed.Sniper’s eyes darted around the room as he tried to take in his surroundings.“Please, don’t kill me. I’m going to tell you everything you ask me,” Sniper pleaded.“Wow. How quickly the hunter becomes the prey,” one of the men said with a wide grin. “Is this the man the boss was talking about?”“Why? You don’t think he lives up to all the praise he was receiving?” another man asked.“I mean, look at him.”“He looks pretty messed up and worn out. What does the boss want with him anyway?”“If it were up to me, I’d just have him killed.”The tension in the room escalated as the men gave their different opinions about Sniper. Some remained quiet, while ot

    [BACK AT JASON’S MANSION]“They’re gone!” one of the men shouted angrily.Zeek walked into the room, his face filled with frustration.“Did you know this was going to happen?” he asked angrily. “Did you forget that easily?”Marcus and Zeek exchanged glances.“The last time we captured an assassin, he was killed before he could talk,” I said calmly. “I knew Henry Carter was behind that attack. Or should I say Fiona, who contracted him after he must have gone rogue?”I leaned back in my chair.“Henry Carter isn’t a very good planner. I know he’s going to slip up very soon.”“What did you do?” Marcus asked, looking at me.I seemed completely satisfied with the fact that Sniper had escaped.“I don’t see how any of this is good news. We need Henry in a corner and have him arrested. If Sniper had given us what we wanted, we could have used it against him.”Zeek looked at me, then back at Marcus.“Shh… Just wait for it. I know what I’m doing.”I relaxed in my chair.“I knew someone was going

    “You need to tell me why Marcus and Jason are friends,” Ethan said, looking at his father.“You will find out in due time, but for now, go to school and get your certificate. I will need someone by my side to help me run this empire, and you are going to need all the help you can get if you want to get your revenge and money back from Jason.”Dylan got up when he heard his phone ring.“Okay, Father,” Ethan replied, feeling a little left out of the conversation.“Do I get one of those?” he asked, pointing at his father’s tattoos.“It is not given, son. It is earned.”Dylan walked into his study and answered the call.“Speak to me, Henry. What is going on?”“We need to get rid of that bastard. That son of a bitch needs to die!” Henry barked.“Slow down, my friend. We both know we cannot kill him now. The police will come after us once they find out that we almost had him killed the first time.”Dylan sank into the foamy chair beside his desk.“He is getting on my nerves. I even had to s

    Death crouched behind a marble column in the garden, his gaze fixed on Marcus and me through the ornate glass windows of my mansion.He could hear faint murmurs but couldn’t make out our conversation. His earpiece buzzed with static before Henry’s voice cut through.“Death, do not engage unless absolutely necessary. We need Sniper alive—at least for now. If he’s compromised, you know what to do.”Death clenched his jaw, irritation flaring within him.“Understood,” he whispered before disconnecting the call.He tightened his grip on the wire tape, his gaze darting toward the second-floor balcony where a shadow moved.Inside the mansion, Zeek was cleaning his bloodied hands, his knuckles raw from interrogating Sniper.“You’re lucky Jason has plans for you, Sniper,” Zeek sneered, leaning over him. “Otherwise, I’d send you straight to hell myself. Do you think we were going to let you go after killing George and Evelyn? As far as I’m concerned, you’re as good as dead.”Sniper coughed, blo

    Death increased his speed as he drove along the street, following every clue and movement that could lead him to my supposed location.He finally arrived just outside my mansion and smirked."We're here," he said as he opened the car's dashboard.Death pulled out his phone and called Henry."I found him, but I don't think it will be easy to get him out of here. This place is like a fortress," Death said, staring at the massive building in front of him. "What should I do?"Henry paced around his room.The thought of killing Sniper, just as he had taken care of Venom, crossed his mind. But before making that decision, he needed to know whether Sniper was still loyal.He needed to know if Sniper had told me anything.Most importantly, he needed to know whether I was coming for his neck."Bring him back home, Death. But if he has been compromised, then we have no option but to kill him."Death furrowed his brows.He had always viewed Sniper as a formidable opponent, but Henry's words conf

    I dropped the call and looked at Zeek."Are you sure?""You should ask the young man himself. Otherwise, he's going to have to die at my hands if it turns out he's just playing with me," Zeek replied as he walked away from the door leading to the attic.I got up from my seat and looked back at Marcus, who was still sitting down."Are you not coming?""I told you, Jason. This is getting really bloody. Why don't you allow the police to take care of things?" Marcus asked in a pleading voice. "I have someone who might be interested in your case. We can go to him and get revenge for all of this.""The police?" I clenched my fist."Did you just ask me to go to the fucking police? I can't believe you just said that."I stared at him."I would have said you were with them in all of this, but I know the role your father played in keeping me alive until today."My voice hardened."Where were the police when my parents were killed? Where were they when your father was killed?"I looked around th
