No way out
The woman’s eyes widened in terror the moment she caught sight of the gun in the man’s hand. Her heart pounded violently within her chest, each thump echoing like a war drum in her ears.“Tell me where the room is,” Mohammed said, his voice calm yet filled with threat, “and I will spare your life... and the lives of every worker here. Refuse, and there will be a massacre. Every single one of you will die. So start talking.”Cold sweat trickled down her temples as his words sank in. Her throat bobbed as she swallowed hard, fear twisting her stomach into knots.“T-The elevator... over there,” she stammered, her voice shaky and drenched in terror. “Use it to get to the top floor. You’ll find Edward and his mother in the last room.”“Are they alone?” Mohammed pressed. “Or do they have company?”“There are guards up there with them,” she confessed quickly. “They arrived just moments ago.”“Guards, eh?” he murmured. “Are they armed?”She nodded frantically.“How many?”“I... I counted just
I wasn't asking
Back in the hospital...Aunt Kelly sat down on the chair beside the bed where her son, Edward, lay. The room was silent, and the only sound that could be heard was the beeping of the monitor that echoed occasionally. Kelly almost drifted off to sleep before she noticed a movement in her son's bed.She rose to her feet swiftly and turned her gaze toward him.Edward’s eyes were now open, and that alone brought a smile to her face."Mother," he said softly."Welcome back, my son," Aunt Kelly replied warmly, a smile gracing her lips."How long was I asleep?" Edward asked, his voice barely above a whisper."Well, it's been 28 hours since the doctor injected you... you've been asleep since then," Kelly responded."I see," Edward mused, then slowly sat upright."You shouldn't be moving your body like that. You should lie still," Kelly cautioned. "I'll go inform the doctor that you're awake.""Don't worry about that, Mother. I don't feel like seeing any doctor right now," Edward said, his voi
Matteo Montanari PT 2
"Am I hallucinating right now, or is Lorenzo standing right in front of me?" Matteo Montanari exclaimed as he approached Scott."Hello, Matteo. It's been a while." Scott said with a slight smile, and his gaze fixated on Matteo."It's been a while? Dude, we haven't seen in forever." Matteo blurted, and when he was directly in front of Scott he wrapped his arms around him. They hugged for a few seconds before Scott finally pulled away. "Where have you been, man?""Around. I've been traveling the world." Scott responded casually."I see. You look different. Fiercer..like a man who's been through hell." Matteo Montanari stated. "Are you sure all you she was travel around the world for adventure and vacation?" "Well, I never said I traveled around for a vacation or adventure...I had to take care of stuffs in different countries." Scott responded."What kind of stuffs?" Matteo inquired."Dangerous stuffs. War, killing, and other dangerous stuffs. But now's not the time to talk about that."
Matteo Montanari
Scott leaned forward in his seat, his eyes unwavering as they locked onto Aunt Kelly’s. “I came here seeking your advice, Aunt Kelly. I know I’ve already made my decision—I just need to hear it from you. Should I proceed this way? Or would you rather I do something else?” His voice was low but resolute, laced with the weight of a decision that could change everything.Aunt Kelly, who had been standing a few paces away in silence, let out a long, tired sigh. Her eyes shimmered faintly with concern as she walked slowly toward him. She rested a soft hand on his shoulder, her touch warm, maternal.“You do whatever you have to,” she said gently. “I believe in you.”Their eyes met. Scott nodded—once, firmly—before rising to his feet. He slid his hands into the pockets of his long coat and turned toward the door.“I’ll be leaving now,” he said. “Look after Edward until the guards arrive. I’m going to meet Matteo of House Montanari. I’ll inform him about the case and convince him to give me h

"So what exactly happened?" Scott demanded, his voice sharp and filled with urgency, his curiosity piqued by the sudden revelations."Months ago, Mr. Nicola Lombardi—the owner of the biggest petroleum company in this city—tried to take over your Western lands," Aunt Kelly began, her tone grave. "He claimed the land doesn't legally belong to you. He said it belongs to the government, and since he had been in contact with government officials, he intended to assume full control over it.""Sandro was desperately trying to reach you, but his calls weren’t going through. We were on the brink of losing the case—Mr. Nicola was winning at every turn. He almost took complete control of the land... but then Kael stepped forward and offered to help. He reached out to some of the top businessmen in the city, seeking allies to counter Nicola’s influence. Eventually, one of them agreed to assist us... it was Mr. Marco. He had connections within the government and claimed he could easily sway the ca

Scott drove his car down the bustling city street. The late afternoon sun filtered through tall glass buildings, casting golden streaks across the windshield. Inside the car, silence reigned. His right hand clutched the steering wheel with quiet intensity, his expression carved from stone, gaze fixed unwaveringly on the road ahead. His mind raced with thoughts of what had happened earlier.Mohammed—brazen and arrogant—had strolled into his territory like he owned it.Scott's jaw tightened.With his left hand, he reached down to his belt and retrieved the gleaming silver revolver holstered at his side. He lowered his gaze and stared at the weapon for a few moments, his reflection glinting back at him from the polished steel. If he’d had this revolver earlier, Mohammed wouldn’t have left the mansion alive. That was a mistake he wouldn’t repeat.He returned the gun to its holster, adjusted his coat, and pressed on.After what felt like an eternity of driving, Scott finally pulled over in
