Chapter: Twenty Six - Cover Ups"What is going on here?"Thalia was surprised to see numerous security details on her court yard. She's very delicate and careful with her house's landscape. Seeing some men in black walking around the grass which been mowed regularly almost hit her sensitive nerve."Arthur!" She called their butler.The butler quickly approached the furious lady descending on the grand staircase. He bowed the moment he had a glimpsed of the mood of the mistress. Thalia immediately asked him to straighten up."Could you please tell those gentlemen not to walk on my grass? Philip has been trying to keep them from dying and those mongrels just casually stepped on it," and she checked the window again to see if her garden is being invaded by those armed men."Those mongrels, milady, are precautionary measures." The bulter replied."Why do we need additional security? Did I pass on some news? Enlighten

Chapter: Twenty Five - SacrificesParis, FranceChateau Rinardi"My lady, my lord."Catherine and Renard arrived at the peak of Samira family's power. Even though the Constantines hold most of the country, Renard's ancestors were wise enough to put their prime power elsewhere. The Samira family has been in nobility for centuries. The mansion in front of them is the symbol of their surviving place in that. Things that went back generations of wealth which Catherine has managed to marry into. They quietly went inside.Steven has called for an emergency meeting with the High Council of Samira, the High Tables and the Horsemen. The latter has yet to confirm their attendance given the tasks handed to them by Viktor. The Alderige also declined to avoid any suspicions from the House Drax and promised to support any conclusions the council may have decided to consider.The couple were stunned to see a familiar person descending from the grand st

Chapter: Twenty Four - The Attack DogsWhite House10:00 AM"Mr. President, we already picked a new head chemist in our Bioscience research." A man in suit approached the president on his way to the oval office."Who is it?" Michael asked."He's Dr. Rodney Nirvana, sir. He has a brilliant accomplishments from the Alderige International and he was also a great junior chemist in Morningstar Corporation."Marco almost stumbled on his own tracks when he heard Rodney's name. He quickly radioed the three other men to relay the message to Viktor. It is alarming that the enemy have managed to push through their high defense. As bad as it may become, the president is oblivious to the devil they just invited in.Marco's words were tied to his own tongue. Rodney arrived at the building. Newland muttered some series of profanity after he realized he was reassigned to inspect the garage that's why he never mentioned the person in front of

Chapter: Twenty Three - The Choice"Master Vincent, sir. Are you sure about this?" Our butler asked me one more time.I've been planning to surprise those son of a bitches whom I've heard have started working in the white house. Apparently, Lord Samira hired them. My dad gave me the same expression as well."These are dangerous times, Vincent. All they know was your dead. You can't just walk inside the white house and greet the president," he started walking around the place."I know your concerns people but I can't just stay here and wait for the judgement day." All this hiding is making me crazy. Knowing full well that they are there in the open trying to do the same thing to another council member."This is a serious moment, son. For once in your life listen to me. Alexander has already concluded your death and when he finds out that you're not. Do you expect him to be glad that you're still walking this earth? Alive?" This time my dad's ton

Chapter: Twenty Two - Guarding the DogsWhite House, Washington DC"Who are you?" The president asked the four new faces he encountered outside the oval office.If the secret service have decided to rotate personnel, they may have the decency to inform the very person they are intended to protect. At least that's what the president had in mind. Changes in security details overnight can be implied that this occurence was caused by deeper power."We are your new security details, Mr. President. I'm Marco and I will be your personal bodyguard from now on.""What about my former security details?" The president is still skeptical to this sudden changes."They were reassigned, sir." Marco responded carefully.With last single overall lookover, the president instructed them to stay outside the office because there will be a close door discussion with his chief of staff. Some white house personnel were a bit curious

Chapter: Twenty One - Blood in the waterThe Plaza Hotel09:00PM"Sir, Viktor Samira has arrived." The receptionist whispered to Hector.She received a suspicious look from Hector knowing why she went all the the trouble to inform him. The pretty lady swallowed a few times to take up the courage to continue. Hector snapped his fingers to finish her unsettling news."And he has some company. The Samira Horsemen, sir."That immediately set off Hector. There has been no horsemen ever since the late Lord Philip Samira died, and that's been a long time. This is either a provocation or an elaborate scheme of Viktor. Before he could scrutinize the said visitors, a council member approached their table. He is below that person that's why they were needed to stand up for respect snatching Catherine out of her chair."Lady Selena Astor. So nice of you to come here." Hector instantly spoke accomodating the matriach of the Astor family.

Chapter: OneAlderige Estate, Washington D.C.I'm not really good at describing a situation but all I can say is this is stupid. My eyebrow reacted to the man in front me who is currently unable to prepare my outfit for today's engagement. How incompetent."Please, Mr. Smith. I'm sure we have all day." I can't help but be sarcastic. The middle age man glanced apologetically and continue what he is doing."I'm very sorry, master Alderige. I have everything prepared last night but the housekeeper seems to move it from where I left it." He explained and still warily scanning everything."Find me a decent one, if you may. I can't afford to be late for today's meeting. The board always wants me dead." I totally surrendered with him because if I wait for another minute and he has to iron that suit. I'm going insane."Very well then, sir. I really do----"I cut him off before he starts to mumble incohe

Chapter: ThreeHearing a loud propeller was not the best alarm clock, really. That black hawk needs to come here later than usual. It's ruining my sleep considering I only slept for two hours maximum. If only I could just suggest to nuke the entire facility in Brazil. Fucking Brazil.Mr. Smith, the butler didn't have to put some effort to wake me up since my sleep was already disturbed by the loud roar. I know the military has the biggest budget but can they atleast turned off the engine like what the fuck? I checked the time and also what the fuck. It's past eight."Mr. Smith, if you'd be so kind, would you mind asking the pilot to shut the engine?""They said they are in tight schedule, sir." He countered."Well, I'm not."I forced myself to the bathroom. I can't leave the house untidy. That's disgusting. My mood instantly changed when I can no longer hear the tormenting sound of the chopper. B

Chapter: TwoI woke up the next day feeling exhausted like I spent the entire day at the gym. I turned around to face my clock when the American flag was waving from the wall. God damn it! I pushed the intercom."Mr. Smith!" I shouted."Master Alderige, sir.""My room. Now."I heard the knob turning, showing a worried old man. He's like my second grandfather here. My mom and dad are on their retirement vacation somewhere around the world and as the only child to the family, I inherited everything including the fucking family problems. Mr. Smith has been with the family for as long as I can remember."Is there anything you need, sir?" I groaned at him, pointed the flag at his upper area waving ominously."Remove that cursed thing."He looked at me like I've grown another head."The flag of the United States of America, sir?" He clarified like what I j
