Chapter Hundred Forty one
Rebirth Through FireThe glass doors of the hospital exploded open as Ashton and Augustine barreled through the entrance. Ashton’s breath came in short, sharp gasps and the adrenaline was pumping so hard it numbed the pain in his ribs. Augustine was right behind him, sweat glistening on his temple. “Where are they?!" Augustine asked at once. They were racing with time and the cars were right behind them. “The VVIP hospital ward. I had Lancaster put his men there but I don't know the state of things right now since he's travelling with us out of the city." Ashton replied. With the way Lancaster had been helping them, it was going to be suicide if he kept staying here. He had to leave too. "Hey! You can't be in here!" shouted one of the security guards stationed by the reception as he saw them break in. They didn’t stop. Ashton slammed his shoulder into the first guard, sending the man sprawling. Augustine elbowed another, spinning him into the row of chairs by the wall. The hos
Chapter Hundred Forty
The BreakpointAshton and Augustine drove off speedily Lancaster had assured them that he would have Gabriel and the entire Monroe family taken care of by his men. Now, all they had to do was get home and take their family with them. The safe house was tucked away behind a line of rundown warehouses on the outskirts of the city, nothing but rusted gates and cracked pavements leading to a pale grey structure that was eerily quiet. Ashton and Augustine leapt out of the blacked-out car the moment Lancaster hit the brakes and rushed inside the building. “Move fast, boys,” Lancaster barked as he killed the engine. “Grab what you need. We don’t have much time. They're mobilizing. We leave in fifteen.”The two brothers rushed into the house, like they were racing against death itself. And in a way, they were. The Monroes weren't to be messed with. They were one of the biggest and most feared families in the city. And now, they had themselves in their bad book. “Come on! We have to hea

Brother Against the WorldEveryone looked at Augustine like he'd lost his mind. “What's going on?” Celeste crooked, barely able to speak from Augustine's tight grip. "Shut up! I've got a freaking gun to your head. You'll do well to keep shut, missy.” Gabriel was staring with his jaw dropped. "Did you really think I'd betray my brother?” They all hissed at him. “You bloody traitor! I knew you'd never stand by our side!" Sebastian roared angrily, with his gun now facing Augustine instead of Ashton. “You'll be sorry if you pull that trigger. I'll make sure her brain splatters all over this bloody place!" Augustine hissed. Celeste gasped loudly, “Daddy, please. Help me." Gabriel held up his hands. "Let my daughter do and we'll assume none of this ever happened.” "Not happening. We walked in here ready to kill my brother. What makes you think I'll let your daughter go so easily?” “Don't you dare hurt her!" Gabriel hissed. Augustine smiled, “I will. Unless you let me and Ashton

The ReckoningAshton hissed below his breath. Veronica was right. Celeste couldn't be trusted. And yet, here he was, walking right into a trap. A trap he should have known. “I guess Veronica was right about you," he said lazily, folding his arms. There were guns right at his face but he didn't act bothered. Celeste laughed loudly. “Did you really think I'd let you walk away and marry that tiny little crazy thing?" Ashton chuckled. “It's funny you're calling her crazy. She has been cured. I can't say the same about you." Celeste hissed at him, “Whatever, you're not going back to her. And you're certainly going to pay for all the things you've done to my family." The place was enclosed. The walls of the house seemed to be padded with some material and there was only one way in and one way out. The front door. What stood by the left looked like a window but it was too tall. Too far from the ground that he'd have to leap to reach it. And what chances did he have? They all were a
Chapter Hundred Thirty Seven
The TrapCeleste?! This had to be a bad dream. Could she really be telling the truth or was this all a prank? Ashton knew that Celeste was all shades of crazy but she had never tried to prank him and why would she speak of something so serious if it really hadn't happened? "Hello?"Ashton was quickly drawn out of his thoughts when he continued to hear her voice over the phone. “It is me, Celeste,” she repeated, thinking he did not hear her the first time. "I heard you the first time. I just don't understand what you just said.” "Ashton," a trembling voice whispered. "You have to help me. My father has been kidnapped, and my brother is in danger."He recognized the voice no doubt but he couldn't help but wonder what had gone wrong? Marcel was powerless, he was now in the FBI net, how then did he get to kidnap Celeste's family? And who had told him that he and Celeste had any form of acquaintance? Immediately a thought came to his mind, it had to be Augustine. If he had gone a
Chapter Hundred Thirty Six
A Monroe Threat As soon as the sirens came closer, Ashton knew it was over. No one could fight. No one could run. They had all resigned to fate. Ashton stood by the tall arched window of the study, the same window he had once gazed through, watching his father pull into the estate with grandeur and flair after a long day at work. But today, he watched something else.Marcel Green, his father, his tyrant, his enemy, was being loaded into the back of a black FBI vehicle, his hands cuffed tightly behind his back, his usually pristine suit rumpled and a little dusty. As soon as he stepped out the front door, the agents flanked him on both sides. They had come prepared considering the news they heard. Marcel tried to speak to one of them, to protest, to plead, but no one gave him a second glance. “I am being set up! You have to listen to me! You have to believe me!”His voice, once commanding and lethal, was swallowed by the sound of the engine roaring to life. No one cared. No one l
