Chapter 214
"Impossible!!!" The shout echoed in the underground hall. The setting of the underground space was such that the hall was carved into the depth of a huge mountain that was situated in the center of the flourishing island. For such a stoic setting, no matter how deep and loud a voice is, it would bounce back and disappear into the throat of the very same person that had spoken it. But the fact that the voice had echoed emphasized on the nature of the cry. "We need to hold our peace for a moment and truly find out if it is truly so." Another deep voice said.Gathered in the heart of the largely ancient, and scarcely modern hall were over fifty men whose identities were concealed. They all had a kind of mask that seemed to merge with their faces. If one wasn't quite discerning, he would think for a moment that the faces were the actually faces of the men, instead of the masks. The masks had been made such that they looked quite light, natural and mistakenly humane. It wasn't like som

"What!!!" Bethany exclaimed, too grounded and shocked to react at that moment. Why did she think that the outburst of both men was the height of what could happen? Why did she never think for a moment that there was a possibility of something even scarier happening? She quickly rushed to the president and dropped on her knees in his presence. She wanted to grapple at his feet but then thought of the consequences. Suddenly she defied all odds and held both of his legs at once. "No, no! No, please!" She cried at the top of her voice, unsure of what to really do. Coming into this place, she was the victim. Right now, she was culprit. It didn't make sense to her. And what she was doing right now was even much funnier in a sense. Why was she begging right now? If there was anything, shouldn't Manny be the worried one?Even though Manny had hurt her and taken the man of her dreams, why was she throwing herself at the feet of the president, begging for Manny's life, trying to protect her
Chapter 212
"You cannot say that name." The president said, still on the floor, with face buried in the evony floor.Bethany was in such an emotional state that she knew that she didn't have the time for dramatic reactions like this. When she had walked in, seeing some unusual procession outside, in the open garden, she had wanted to pause for a moment to figure out what was happening but Manny's words kept ringing in her mind. But seeing the president on the floor with her father, she couldn't help but be taken aback. How could this be happening? She had only but mentioned a name and everyone was dropping on their faces without a second thought. She looked away to the side for a moment and saw a shattered jar on the floor. The fragrance riding the gentle breeze was that of a costly spices that she had only seen one when she went to the Near East, an ancient place whose name has been kept as its treasure, Ophir.She could remember that the last time she asked about it when she saw it, the price

The commotion soon grew into something alarming. The slap on the face of the round fat man was something that none of them had anticipated. "Why would he try to impose himself on the young lady?""So what if he did? Why would she slap him for no reason?""For no reason? Are you serious right now? You call that for no reason?""Is she better than a hooker? Why couldn't she just peck the man and everyone leaves peacefully? After all, she already delayed us. It was her fault.""Does she even know who he is? That's Jeffrey Parker!""Jeffery of the Red Hood?" One of the people asked, his eyes almost flying out of his sockets. Like someone who had just witnessed the descent of the Son of Man. "I wasn't here." Someone said and started moving away from the scene. Soon enough, the people started moving away. Coming to the realization of whom the round fat man was suddenly watered all their hearts. In fact, those of them who were in the favor of Manny earlier wished they could take those wor

Both the stern look on Manny's face and the weight of the bluntness in the tone of her voice made Bethany quake. She was instantly scared of Manny. This side of Manny was so unexpected but eerie. Bethany was shaken to the core of her being. Although she loved Irwin but she had never thought of it like this. Manny looked like her entire life and being depended on this. No matter the weight of love that Bethany thought she had for Irwin, it instantly paled in comparison to what Manny was displaying. "I---" Bethany trailed off, unable to put her thoughts together. Her mind was blank at that moment and she couldn't place the right words. "You can ask anything from him but this." Manny stressed. "Irwin is mine. There is nothing any lady can do about it."Bethany imagined that following these words that Manny would at least turn around and leave, but instead the latter moved closer as though she was trying to put more fear in the heart of the former. Bethany wanted to stand her ground a

Bethany Colwill had just taken a turn into the next street when suddenly a car out of nowhere blocked her path, overtaking her and forcing her car to a screeching halt. It was so sudden that she almost lost her breath and gasped so hard. "What in the world." Bethany held tightly to the wheel, unsure of how she had prevented the accident. There was a glaring consciousness that overshadowed her. It was the obvious truth that it was God Almighty that helped her avoid such an unavoidable potential clash that could have, at the very least, turn her into a cripple.Coming to the realization of what could have happened to her, her brows furrowed in rage and her jaws tightened. Rage flushed all over her face and in the matter of moment, she was heating up. She had just left the Aegean shore. What had happened there had made her extremely angry. Seeing how Manny had held on to Irwin to stake a claim of ownership on him! She had done her best to hide her jealousy and had been suppressing the
