The air suddenly became hazardous as Ivan found it hard to breathe, choking on every single attempt to draw air into his lungs. He froze, thinking of a plausible explanation to tell her that would be good enough for her to believe. He stared at her, only to notice that she wasn't staring at him but at Mia with a look that depicted utmost displeasure. "Tara," he called out to her, her eyes finally landing on him again. "Hi, what are you actually doing here? Should you not be on the school's vacation trip?""I think I should be the one asking you that question. But since you asked first, I will give you an answer. As you know, it is mandatory for every student but definitely not for me. I didn't feel like being there but felt like coming to the world's best shopping complex where real diamonds and gold are actually sold so, here I am." She explained with a smile. "Oh wow, that sounds awesome actually." Ivan forced a smile. "You..." Tara raised her index finger at Ivan. "Shouldn't you

An awkward silence filled the room as both Ivan and Mia stared into each other's eyes. The sudden and uncomfortable pause in their conversation caused Ivan to wonder why she was so silent and instead just stared plainly at him like she had something or even so much to say. The unpleasant nature of the sudden silences was associated with the feelings of anxiety that sprouted in Mia as she suddenly felt the pressure to speak but was unsure of what to say next in response to his confession. "Are you okay?" Ivan finally broke the silence. "Huh?" She seemed to have been lost while staring into his eyes. "Yeah uhm..." She lifted her leg away from him and slowly climbed down the bed. "Actually, I uh... I just remembered that I have quite the list of chores to do today and uhm... Yeah uhm Alfred... Alfred asked to do something very very important for him today to get ready for our next flight." She stammered as she slowly receded to the door. "Ohh, well I guess I understand that you are t

The Brad Pitt look alike walked in with a satisfied smile on his face as he sighted Ivan. "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb something nice." He said before he began chuckling. Standing next to him were a few men who were dressed all in black suits. Taking a few steps closer to Ivan's bed, he leaned in closer to him just to make sure he didn't have the wrong guy. "Yup, it's you alright." "Who are you and what do you want?" Ivan exclaimed as he felt fear engulf him entirely."Young master of Wayne's cooperation, it feels good to finally find you, you know I have been searching for you for two decades, this makes me so curious to find out where you were and what you were doing." He stated whilst standing akimbo.The girl with Ivan shifted her gaze to him, shock evident in her brown eyes as she stared at him. "You-- you are the young master Wayne?" She pushed the words out of her mouth. "No, does that make any sense to you?" He responded sharply. "I am not the man you are looking

Ariana Ortega was a graduate in computer engineering and that aside, she worked wonders when it came to tasks like that. There was almost nothing she couldn't do, she could detect bombs of all sorts as well, she was very proud of herself when she disarmed her first bomb at only sixteen. There was a group of skilled mercenaries who went about destroying the whole of Paris and they started around the early years of nineteen eighty eight slash nineteen eighty nine. Their reason? They were doing as bad politicians told them as long as they got paid. Ariana was invited by the military force to help with finding bombs and disarming them due to her speed at such tasks. So, with a skill like that, she joined the army eventually and became one of the best while serving her country. For a woman who found it easy finding and disarming bombs, finding implanted cameras and microphones was like a child's play to her. The villa was filled with men and women of different ages and looks. Being tha

The phone kept ringing but the call didn't go through, Ivan decided not to call anymore after three tries. "She is probably busy." He muttered to himself. "She will call me back after seeing this." He told himself. He threw the blanket off himself and climbed down the bed, his face scrunched as his head still ached. Picking up the golden cup, he drank the rest of its content and sighed then dropped the cup back on his table. Curiosity they say kills the cat, some people would be found dead for a reason nobody knew and no one would even know of their existence until they were found dead. The very maid that scrolled through Ivan's phone had lost her life due to her curiosity. Lying lifelessly in the middle of the street was her body, discovered early that very morning. "An unidentified body was found early this morning in the middle of main street, it appears that she was suffocated to death and according to the clip from the CCTV in the street, her body was dumped by a mysterious va
