NIKAELEON***My ears were still ringing from the loud noise of the explosion but we had to go outside the office and check the situation of things. I helped Aina up and we both walked past the partly unhinged door that had a huge burn mark on it that I only noticed now that we were close to it. The assistant must have been standing close to the door when the package was opened. I turned Aina's face away as I realised what the splatter on the wall was but shielding her from seeing the innards on the walls was of no use. There was blood everywhere in front of her office, and body parts were littered around. The package must have been close to the assistant’s torso while it was being opened because the part of her that were completely destroyed was her midsection.There were people littered around, some screaming, some crying, some just staring in shock while some tried to take pictures or videos. The bomb didn’t have a wide range, it was only meant to kill one person, and would have on

NIKAELEON***The only thing left to deal with was Lana Viden, the CEO of Cudjer Inc that stole the project from Aina. The woman was definitely part of the Black Knights, though she must have just recently joined them because if she had been part of them when Aina’s father was alive, he would have mentioned her name since she was an acquaintance that Aina knew well.It took Armando a whole day to be able to crack the encryption on her office systems and her personal devices were inaccessible unless we got close to her and planted a physical encrypter, which would be too risky. So we settled on just getting enough evidence of her financial and corporate crimes, enough to ruin her and bring down her company.The information was leaked through an anonymous source, one of my paid informants in a media station that wasn’t owned or co owned by me. We didn’t want the leak to be traced back to us so it couldn’t be leaked by any media house affiliated with me. While Lana’s company’s stock nose

NIKAELEON***We all went backstage and my security escorted us to the parking lot. They were not supposed to be inside the venue because they weren’t needed here. I had other safety measures in place for the inside so they were to guard the outside. If they were being extra cautious then something must have happened. We were all supposed to leave in one car, while two cars in my entourage were just decoys and the rest was security. But just as Sophia got in, Aina fainted. It was my head of security that caught her because my attention was elsewhere. Her breathing was steady but she remained unconscious. “Uriel, they will take you and Sophia home, I need to get Aina to a hospital.” I said as I gestured for my Head of security to take Aina to a different car.“They can take her, you come home with us. Sophia wants us to play with her and I’m sure she’s fine.” Uriel pouted as she pulled my arm.If she was fine, she wouldn’t have fainted.“It wasn’t a request, Uriel. She needs me, I’m a

NIKAELEON *** Hearing the doctor say Uriel was pregnant sounded unbelievable in my ears. I was in denial for approximately five seconds before realising that I was one of the owners of this hospital, which was why I brought us here. I was guaranteed of the quality of healthcare and that my privacy would be respected. So it meant that there couldn’t have been a mistake in the tests. She was really pregnant, and I was the father of the child, there was no doubt about it. I never once suspected her of sleeping with someone else, firstly because I truly trusted her and secondly because we had spent most of our days in the past weeks together. I knew her routine by heart because it was the same as mine now. We went to work together and returned together, had dinner together and retired to sleep at about the same time, woke up almost at the same time except that I usually woke up earlier than her. When could she possibly have had the time to cheat on me? And with who? Marcel was the only

NIKAELEON***“It was the condom!” Uriel yelled.“Keep talking.” I said to her and Aina’s surprised face became a frown.Instead of trying to stop me, she faced Uriel, waiting for an explanation. Uriel turned away from the both of us as she completely buttoned up her blouse and sniffed.“I came to your room that night to seduce you with the aim of getting pregnant so it would bring us both even closer than Sophia did. I thought that if I carried your child and you were available to witness everything you missed with Sophia, then you would love me again. So, while you were in the shower, I used a needle to put tiny holes in the condoms through the packets. You almost caught me, but I pretended like I was just holding the box to entice you.” She said and Aina gasped.“This… This is your fault?” Aina asked incredulously.“Are you crazy?”“This wouldn’t have happened if you had just stayed out of our lives!” Uriel yelled.“You both don’t have anything for crying out loud. When will you ge
