Chapter 40 - Stick To The Plan

Tobin walks out of the room feeling bad for barging in without knocking. He mentally scolds himself but scoffed when he remembers Sharon was in the room with Dane. He hadn't believed his eyes when he walked into them kissing.

"I have always thought she was not like other girls" he said to himself as he walks away bumping into Avero who was with a glass of juice. The clash led to the juice spilling all over her body.

"Hey I am very sorry about that he said mentally scolding himself again. He has been bumping into people these days. He prays Avero doesn't get angry like Sharon did.

"It is okay" she said with a smile trying to wipe her dress clean. She had always secretly liked Tobin but he was too reserved for them to ever communicate. Of all the boys in the house she finds him most attractive.

"Are you sure you are okay?" Tobin asks taken aback by her cool reaction.

"Yes I am I just need to change my clothes" she said pulling her top to review her bra.

Tobin who wasn't expecting her to change in his front tried looking away.

"Don't be shy" Avero said with an evil smirk. She was ready to seduce him right now accept for the fact they were not in a room.

"Don't you like me? ' she asks Tobin?

"No I don't. Yes I do. what I mean is I like but as a friend that I see all the time. " Tobin muttered. The environment was becoming too hot for Tobin. Avero let out a soft chuckle.

"I will see you around" She said walking back to the guest room.

Tobin could hardly keep his eyes off her back side. Avero turned slightly catching him staring at her back side and smiled at the effect she just had on him.

"With time he will be mine" she said to herself.

She has made up her mind to move over Dane.

Dane walks into his father's study to see his father, Mr Huffington and Shaw deliberating on some issues. On seeing him Mr Lancaster stops their conversation.

"Here you are Dane. Where have you been? " he asked him.

"I have been in my room dad. Taking time to recover from the recent incident." Dane replies calmly he was expecting some form of scolding.

"You see why I don't want to involve him? Mr Lancaster asked turning to his friend.

"He is not just like his brother. He is too soft for these kinds of things" Mr Lancaster said shaking his head.

"Give him a chance" Lan Mr Huffington said.

Obviously Mr Huffington has been persuading his friend to involve Dane his second son in their whole plan.

"Okay I will. This is what you will do. First thing tomorrow morning I want you to go with Shaw to the police station and report everything that has happened here. Make sure not to report the fact that we had one of their men in our custody. It is our own secret. " Mr Lancaster instructed.

"But dad"Dane tried to say.

"Keep quiet!! and do as you are told" Mr Lancaster quickly shut him.

"I want the police to do their jobs while we also do ours. For now that is the only responsibility I will give to you till I deem it fit that you are ready like your brother Shaw."

"You can go now" Mr Lancaster ordered him.

Dane walks away dejected. He hates being compared to his brother. He knows they must have hitched other plans because incidents like that to the Lancaster mansion doesn't go without a revenge attack.

"And what happened to the man that we caught?" He asked himself has he walks away. "I will need to find out and also know why they don't want us to tell the police about it."

"I will ask Shaw about it he concluded as he walks away from the room.

"As for you" Shaw Mr Lancaster continued after Dane left.

"Make sure to visit the boys at the warehouse to brief them on the situation at hand. We have a war coming and I want everyone to be prepared. I will also speak to miss Jewel, the female private investigator. Infiltrating cartels is one of her specialties. We will need all the information we can get from the Stardom cartel right now so we can know when to hit them. Every other thing goes as planned" he said with a note of finality

"Alright nice plans then. I will go home now with my daughter " Mr Huffington said stretching his hand for an handshake with his friend.

"Thanks a lot pal. You have always been there for me "Mr Lancaster said shaking his friend.

"I will always stand by you "Mr Huffington said as he walks away with Mr Lancaster walking behind him to see him off. No one noticed the evil smile Mr Huffington had on his face as he works away. He had other plans of his own.
