Chapter 99 This isn't your end
The men in the room literally choked on their saliva and began to cough. Candy's face turned pale and red. This would be the first time hearing that walking could affect pregnancy.

"No, no it doesn't," she shook her head vehemently. She couldn't imagine Diego carrying her all around the house.

"Don't worry, wife. I'm strong enough to do that every single day," he replied.

"Huh? No, you don't have to. I'm fine."

Diego didn't listen as he led her back to the room, placing her gently on the bed. "Wait here, I'll get something to eat," he kissed her forehead and left.

Candy's mouth stayed open. Gosh! He is so adorable. She laughed lightly at his reaction seconds ago; it was so cute.

Diego came back after some minutes, an alluring meal laid on the tray he was holding.

"The chef made this," he stated.

"Wow, it looks so good," Candy squealed, smiling like a kid. "Thanks, hubby."

"I love your smile so much." His face turned worried again. "Have you gone to the hospital?"

"Yeah, I did immediately when I found out," she replied.

"I'll employ the best doctor to look after you," he stated, and she laughed.

"I think your men are going to drift into a coma because of the shock," Candy muttered, and they both chuckled.

"Don't mind them. I'll feed you," he said, and Candy nodded with a bright smile. She watched him move close to her. She missed his feeding.

"So what really happened back in Moscow?" she asked.

Diego explained how Romeo saved him and, when he fell into the water drowning, he was saved by the survivors of the same clan Griffin had destroyed. They were actually the butchers Jameson had met before saving Phoenix.

At first, they found Diego to be a threat, but upon hearing Diego's story, they decided to help him since they now had the same enemy.

The men stayed frozen for about five minutes before they finally moved.

Blake was the first to speak, "I told you we got the wrong devil."

A barely noticeable middle-aged man seated around the corner spoke, "Don't underestimate the power of love, little one," his eyes fixated on the book in his hand.

"Wow, the devil is in love? Mrs. Candy must have really tried. Gosh, I can't imagine how she managed to do that," Blake muttered.

"They look so good together," the lady behind Blake said, and they all smiled.

"I'm glad he found someone to heal him," another said.

Old Mavis sat before a grave with the name Diego Gonzalez carved on it. His heart clenched with sorrow, watching the family he had struggled to build go down the drain.

However, there was a strange sensation coursing through him. He took a deep breath and dropped a flower on the grave.

"Dear grandson. This isn't your grave, is it? It feels like this is someone else, but I still do not understand why my heart aches so much. It's really confusing, grandson. But still, deep down, I can feel the war ending soon," Old Mavis let out a painful smile.

Melody appeared and sat beside the old man.

"How's Ben?" he asked lightly without looking at her.

"He's sleeping," Melody replied. Ben had been sad hearing Diego's death news. She never knew the young boy was attached to Diego already.

Melody was worried about Einstein and the others. She wondered where they had run off to.

"Noah lives in a well-guarded place. He seems to be a bastard using his power to oppress those beneath him. Due to Griffin's backup, he is increasing his army. We can only bring him down if we get to know him very well," Aiden informed.

"Hmm, is that so? What's his personality?" Einstein asked.

"He likes women... a lot," Aiden stated. Their eyes slowly turned to Phoenix, who sighed.

"I guess we'll use that against him," she said.

The night breeze was cool as several devious men and slutty women hung around one of the most famous clubs in the city.

Noah sat among the respected people in the club. His eyes were focused on the strippers, swaying their bodies in a seductive way as the slow music rented the room. They all had masks on their faces.

The one that caught Noah's attention the most was the pink-haired woman. Her body was fire, especially her breasts. Without wasting a moment, he chose her to be his plaything for the night.

Phoenix smiled as Noah's assistant approached her; he had just fallen into her trap.

On their way to his domain, Noah was impatient. He kept glancing at her. Phoenix noticed the man's hardness. What a pervert!

"I'm sure you're going to enjoy me, baby. Should we start here in the car and continue when we get to my place?" Noah asked, reaching for her smooth thigh.

Phoenix still had her mask on; her makeup gave her another look.

Smiling, she touched the man's face. "Not so fast, big guy," she muttered, sliding her finger down. "I have a surprise for you, but that will be in the bedroom."

As they stepped into the large territory, Phoenix noticed Noah had grown more men in just a short amount of time. How impressive.

Gaining a strong ally like Griffin, he was able to build a larger army. Phoenix didn't fail to notice the strange stares of the men. This brought a sense of foreboding to her.

It was too late to think about that right now. She was already in, and Noah was leading her into his room.

While this was happening, Jameson and Einstein found a way to sneak in. It wasn't easy.

"Let's separate here," Einstein whispered, and they both headed in different directions.

Jameson stepped further. He stopped hearing the sounds of some of Noah's men.

Meanwhile, Noah faced Phoenix. "Undress, sweetheart."

Phoenix smiled as she made to step forward, but his words gave her pause. "Right where you are. There's no need to come close."

"But I'd like to touch you while I undress," she stated, and Noah laughed lightly.

"You must really think I'm such a fool... easy to deceive."

Phoenix's smile dropped. Noah knew they were coming. She immediately brought out her two guns, but seven men rushed in, pointing their guns at Phoenix.

"Don't act stupid, sweetheart. These sharpshooters are effective. One move and you're gone," Noah smirked.

One of the men stepped forward to remove Phoenix's earpiece so she couldn't inform the others.

"Now, drop your guns," Noah demanded, and Phoenix clenched her jaw.

Einstein found the place quiet and strange. He hadn't encountered any men yet. He suddenly heard someone yelp and his head snapped towards the direction.

He marched towards the place carefully, and his eyes widened at the scene.

Men were lying dead on the floor, blood stains splashed all over the place. Einstein watched a familiar figure draw out his knife from his victim.

Their gaze met, and Einstein's gun fell due to his shock. His face turned pale as if he had just seen a ghost.

Jameson slowly peeked and frowned when he found no one but a radio speaking. A trap.

They know we are here.

A hand suddenly held his shoulder, and he tried to shoot the man, but he was strong and fast enough to hit the gun away from Jameson's hand.

When Jameson tried to punch him, the man sprayed some content on his face. His eyes grew heavy as the effect hit him. He groaned, trying to stand his ground but it was strong.

Jameson found himself losing conciousness.
