“A condition?” The lady's voice sounded a bit cautious.One could tell from it that she was a very thoughtful young girl, one that very much understood her position and understood the fact that anyone could take advantage of her any time. Well, except if Kayla was giving her too much credit with just two words.“I'm sorry. It's not anything outrageous. I just need your help also.”Immediately Kayla said that, the lady's expression became free. She was probably thinking the help was money, Kayla could tell because she was the best person to understand the lady. Both of them were the only daughter of their fathers but in her case, she had brothers, evil ones as at that.Only daughters tend to think every help needed was always about money. She thought like that too at a point but she had changed… no, she was changing. Kayla looked at the waitress that was busy with another customer.‘I will gladly throw money at almost anything in this world.’She faced the young lady.“I actually came

The second morning Kayla was spending in another country was kinda different from the first. But that could also be because of the guest she had. She had slept quite late yesterday because they spoke into the night and it was a miracle that she managed to wake up this early enough.Mei was going to see her off and go on to convince her father. She already assured Kayla that she wasn’t going to fail. She was going to bring back the merger and become a part of The Johns family.Still thinking about it, Kayla shook her head. It still didn't make any sense enough, that she would go to this extent to marry that damned Ceneau. But then she had also done something crazy and went to marry Reynold.Both actions may be fueled by different reasons but it spoke of them the same way… crazy.She came out of the bathroom and slipped into a cream colored gown that stopped just above her, hugging her body and bringing out the contours of her shape.“You look amazing! A ten!” Mei complimented.“Yea. Th

Kayla hurried up the front walk of the mansion she shared with her husband, eager to tell him about the successful merger meeting and the fun things she had managed to experience in her travels abroad. The late afternoon sunlight glinted cheerily on the door knob as she pulled it open. “Honey, I’m home!” she called playfully as she stepped inside. Silence greeted her. Kayla paused in the foyer, listening for sounds of Reynold working from the kitchen or maybe the stairs. But the house felt still and empty. She peeked into the living room just in case. “Rey? Where are you?” No response. Pursing her lips, Kayla pulled out her cell phone and sent him a quick text. Then she headed to the bedroom to change out of her work clothes. Maybe he had gone out to pick up groceries or run other errands. But an hour later, relaxed in leggings and a T-shirt, Kayla started to feel puzzled that she hadn’t heard back. She was just going to wait around

Reynold watched with a cold and dangerous expressed steeled to his face. Beside him, Jovian watched also but could be found stealing glances at Reynold who was too focused on the coming vehicle to notice.They stayed motionless and silent, their car parked beside the road while the coming one drew nearer. After a few seconds or so, it finally passed. That was when Reynold started the car and with a sophisticated groan of the retro Mercedes, its tires caressed the asphalt ground and raced into a blur of circle, pursuing the vehicle ahead.It wasn't long before Reynold's retro was behind the car. The chauffeur, who was enjoying a booming jazz paused his head dance to look at the mirror, Tate was fast asleep, oblivious to what was going happening in his own car.The chauffeur squinted his eyes. The car didn't seems suspicious, but he was not dumb and ignorant. In fact he had been in this line of work for several years to be too relaxed in a situation like this.But it was also that expe

They were met by an inky darkness. Jovian's eyes was assaulted by a slight throbbing pain in the first few seconds of trying to adjust to this unseeming environment.Reynold however… He threw the body to the ground and walked away uncaringly. Like he could navigate the darkness with his eyes closed. A second later flames were birthed from the edge of a stick. He threw the stick into a barrel and in less than three seconds, the flames had spread and was burning fiercely inside the barrel.Thanks to that a soft glow of illumination bathed the place, causing the thick darkness to retreat away to the far corners of the building.Jovian looked around with a slight frown on his face. The place reeked of metal, the smell was almost choking… but maybe that was because of the dust. Also he could see tools here and there with the unstable illumination that was being casted forth by the fire in the barrel.There was a large fork, shovel, machetes of different kinds. He frowned and looked at Rey
