Mr. Winston said through the phone in disbelief. "You have it for the next six to twelve hours. Sign the papers or get your kid's body party brought to you one after the other." Jeremy's voice was cold as he spoke. His eyes were empty and his demeanor was cold. The Winston's could not see him but they could feel the weight of his words hang in the air. "You stupid boy, do you have any idea what you are saying? Do you know

Jeremy seethed with anger as they left Sophia's mansion. "Mom, how could you tolerate her rudeness?" he demanded, his voice low and urgent. He was surprised he'd even been able to handle her behavior. He'd more than in one occasion wanted to tell her off but decided against it because of his mother but now that he was out of the house, he regretted not saying anything. Reida placed a calming hand on his arm. "That's just how Sophie is. Ignore her. We'll show her who's boss in action. Words are meaningless right now." Jeremy took a deep breath, trying to calm down. "You're right, it's just..." "Don't think too much about it, son." When they arrived at Sophia's mansion earlier, the messenger's announcement had sent Sophia into a flurry. "Oh, I've been waiting to see the Master of Verde," she gushed, her face flushed. "My husband will be thrilled to hear about his arrival." She turned to Jeremy and Reida, her expression dismissive. "You

Jeremy's eyes widened in surprise as Ariel kissed him. He hadn't expected this, especially after everything they'd been through. He gently pushed her away, his heart racing. "Ariel, what are you doing?" Jeremy asked, trying to process his emotions and what had just occurred. He wasn't sure. Ariel's eyes sparkled with tears. "I'm sorry, Jeremy. I was so wrong to doubt you. I love you." She suddenly said, shocking both herself and Jeremy. Jeremy's heart ached, seeing her all teary eyed. He'd not be expecting a kiss let alone from Ariel. He was still in shock and it took him a couple of minutes to even process what to say. He knew he couldn't reciprocate her feelings.. "Ariel, I just wanted to say goodbye. You shouldn't have done this..." He expressed, painfully. Ariel's face fell on hearing that and her cheeks burned in embarrassment. She had not been thinking straight when she'd done that and seeing that Jeremy didn't like t

"Do better Winster!" Jeremy growled. Jeremy walked towards Lancer's grandfather, a calm and collected smile on his face. "You see, gentlemen, you've made a grave mistake," he said, his voice dripping with confidence. "Do you even have any idea who you are messing with? You really think you'd have been able to kill me just like that? A Verde?" Grandpa Winster's eyes widened in shock at the sound of that. "What did you say?" he asked, holding his breath, hoping he'd heard wrong. "You heard me," Jeremy replied. He had half the mind to put a bullet in Lancer's head but he knew that wasn't such a good Idea. He wasn't looking for a mess. "You are definitely not a Verde," Mr Winster mocked. He knew Jeremy was bluffing. "He's telling the truth," Lancer was the one to speak this time. Mr Winster gasped as he looked between his grandson and Jeremy. "You can't be a Verde!" He spat at Jeremy who

Jeremy shoved his phone in his pocket after hanging up on Amy and glared directly at the men pointing guns at him... He'd anticipated this happening and he was disappointed that they'd actually chosen this route but at the same time commended their efforts to get back their son. He guessed it didn't help that they had no idea who he was. The only person that knew him was Lancer and he was currently holding a knife against his neck. "Before you are able to fire your guns, your precious grandson will have his guts spilling down from his throat. Do you want that?" He asked with a self assured smirk. Grandpa Winster glared daggers at the Jeremy. Just who the fuck did he think he was? The anger in him was palpable and he was doing his best not to make the wrong decision. He knew if he didn't act fast, his grandson would be dead. "You are bluffing!" He growled, staring daggers at him. "Am I?" Jeremy

"I beg your pardon?" Mr. Winston said through the phone in disbelief. "You have it for the next six to twelve hours. Sign the papers or get your kid's body party brought to you one after the other." Jeremy's voice was cold as he spoke. His eyes were empty and his demeanor was cold. The Winston's could not see him but they could feel the weight of his words hang in the air. "You stupid boy, do you have any idea what you are saying? Do you know who you are talking to?!" Mr. Winston yelled. Jeremy, unfazed by his words, took a seat across from Lancer who was busy shouting profanities at him. He was amused by their ridiculous threats more than he was fazed. "...and I'm going to kill you and make sure I skin you while you are alive." Jeremy chuckled at Lancer's father's words. "You must think I am bluffing, Mr Winston." Jeremy voiced, tired of listening to the old man's
Chapter 92
"I don't understand." Ariel voiced out after a long stretch of silence. "What are you...I mean..." "It's nothing to worry about, Ariel. It's just business." Jeremy said, staring at her and trying to gauge her always guarded reaction. She nodded. "Where do you plan on staying while there?" She inquired, trying to make light of the situation. Jeremy chuckled lightly. "It's not something you should worry about, Ariel." Ariel nodded, taking that as the answer she'd been asking herself lately. He truly did not care about her and hiding his whereabouts was proof enough for her to know that she wasn't worth his time. "I see," She nodded, adopting a cool and neutral expression. "Shit!" Jeremy cursed just then, realizing that he was still bleeding. "I'm sorry about the blood. I should get to the hospital now," he said, looking up at Ariel. "You definitel
