The glass was splattered on the floor into tiny particles, which frightened Maisha as she stared at her husband with a horror-filled face. The man was upset by Lou's visit. How will he know this woman would recover quickly and his friend was still alive.
Antonio's still very much alive, this means the money in Elsa's possession will never be taken by them. It only means the girl now had everything his son worked so hard for. It only means Elsa will be in charge of their empire.
Her gender wasn't a problem to him, but the fact that she was still a child and an outsider who could get married to another man. Donovan will not accept this, this was a humiliation to the highest point. Befortheseis people can take everything away from them, he will make sure to take it back, no matter what.
Heads will surely roll for this, but not his head or that of his family. He walked back into his room in anger.

Stepping into the mansion was Elsa who was greeted by three familiar presence, Carlos, Alan, and Scorpion, Liam's loyal men, who would rather die to keep her safe. "Welcome back Madam!" A smile graced Scorpion's lips as he welcomed her. The man knew how to smile no matter the trouble he was going through.
"Welcome!" Her body still shivered from her experience earlier. She still could not believe she shot someone and seeing the faces of these killers worsen the entire situation. She cannot be like them, she definitely cannot be a killer, what if Rafael's men come for her? What would she do?
"What brings you here?" She asked stepping in further to sit on the couch. "We're here to explain the nature of our boss's business to you, should I case anything happens to us!" Carlos started. "What do you mean if something happens to you?"
"Just like our boss's death, no one knew about it. We've sworn to always protect you with our lives, but a few numbers of us isn't enough, so we're prepared to die, Incase that occurs!" Alan spoke this time. Elsa was speechless, hearing this from this made her know she needed to be smart too.
"What happened to all the bodyguards?" "They all quitted madam, the only place you're safe for now, is in this mansion, make sure your mother doesn't leave too, else she would be abducted!" She got scared. Was someone planning bad for her mother again?"
Elsa was confused by their words, she didn't know how someone would plan bad for Maisha when they knew nothing of her existence. Maybe it would have been better if her birthday didn't come, she thought 18 would be her best chapter, but it's turning worst than her seventeenth.
Who would believe she would lose Liam too, her Liam. "We could hire more guards to replace them!" Scorpion smiled at her words. "Those people are knights, they're trained men who listen to only my boss's command to tiger's. Since both people are dead. Your mother's enemy's out!"
"All I'm saying is, tell her not to leave this mansion till your father gets back!" Scorpion concluded to see his madam nod.
They wished they could do more to protect her, but nothing can be done about it. Hiring other people would be like hiring ants to protect humans. They would be killed in no time and will bring attention to them. "The lawyer will be present in the mansion tomorrow for the reading of the will!" Carlos stated.
"We've tried to hide the lawyer for some time now, cause we knew they'd be after her. Don't say a word to anyone to instigate any form of a fight with anyone. We'd be there with you to support you, no matter the decisions you make!" Alan continued not knowing what was next to do.

Florence got back to her mansion hitting her bag on the table. Once again, Elsa has ruined her plans. They were working perfectly, till she deliberately went to his mansion to visit him. Flacon Is supposed to get married to Claire as the most powerful man in the city now, taking after his brother, but who would believe he would ridicule their plans.
Florence sat on her couch as the housekeeper offered her some cold drink which she took to call her nerves. She was furious at Elsa, her plan b would be the best plan to eliminate the girl finally. She didn't care what anyone would do or say, but Florence was ready to eliminate anything on her way.
She took in the drink bit by bit, taking one sip at a time to feel its sweetness on her tongue as she gulped it down. She has thought of a plan, a very devious one, and a smirk appeared on her lips.
.
"How could you let her do this to you? You let a woman do this to you?" Barrett said firmly staring at his son's arms. All the Insults he gave Rafael were no jokes he meant every word he said until the boy surprised him by killing Liam.
He has been so happy since that day, and when Donovan announced Rafael taking everything that belongs to Liam including Antonio's seed he was elated. But seeing his son has returned to his old way of life, being a fool, annoyed him more than anything.
"I deserve this and more father for trying to rape that......!" His words earned him a slap from his father. Maybe this slap would reset his brain. "You still have the boldness to speak after your foolishness!" Barrett's voice roared in the mansion.
"What will you say to your father at that impromptu meeting tomorrow, that you are not as responsible as his favorite child?" "These are why I call you a fool, the very day you grow up and be higher your brother, then I would address you as a man!" Barrett said for his son to clench his hands into a fist.
It annoyed him cause his father always compared him to Liam and he thought when he'll kill Liam, everything will not be back to normal. He'll get endless love and support from his family members.
But things were not the way he wanted them to be, they were different instead. He realized in a bad time that he was the real son of Donovan. He hasn't accepted that shit yet.
"I don't care about any useless meeting, to hell with whatever they're doing there.
.
In the bottom part of the city, a taxi stopped before an old building and two pairs of smashed black shoes got out. Beaufort studied his environment before stepping into the building. His escape from Liam's dungeon wasn't an easy one, but he got out.
"Welcome younger brother!" An advanced woman welcomed him in. They were not themselves that the beast himself has captured their brother, but looking at him now......
"How did you escape from the dungeon!" "People say no one lives to tell the tale, well I want to be the first one to tell my tale about my escape!" He started smiling. Tia allowed him in as they discussed further many other things.
.
"I need your help to get rid of that useless thing, Liam's wife!" Lydia smiled. "I heard she's the one in charge of her husband's fortune must be nice!" Lydia said mockingly which Florence did not take for granted as she kept a livid face. "I came here for help not laughing with you, I know you also hate that witch and you also have a better plan of eliminating her and making it seems like it was an accident!"
Lydia smiled, it was true, she hated the little girl as she doesn't even want to see her anymore. She used to be the only woman to be able to get close to him until that witch came along. She was feared and respected by all. Liam had embarrassed her the last time she saw him, he even went as far as shooting her in the arm before everyone.
She hated Elsa with passion, how could she forget the day she told Liam she would kill his wife. His threat at that party frightened her to the last, but she had to cover it up with a smile. "Do you know Lou has recovered too?"
Florence's eyes widened in surprise. "Next week Is the Black's daughters wedding to the Anakin's as they've promised, then and only them6 will we strike. Florence loved the whole idea of this, she couldn't wait to finally lay the girl to rest.
She would have killed Elsa by herself, but Rafael's words got her glued at a spot, she was going to exercise patience in this, till she sees Elsa's corpse herself.
Florence thanked her stars for finding someone like herself who had common thoughts to hers. She was grateful that Lydia agreed to help her this time, without wanting anything in return.
To Lydia, this was her way of paying Liam back for the humiliation he caused to her. He made people mock her, especially those that were not up to her level.
Taking away or torturing his precious stuff, was the best payback there is.
"Why not take her to the place you came from and make her undergo everything you went through double times.........
