***Monarch Thompson’s castle looked large, its ancient walls towering high. Its walls were beautifully crafted with designs and ancient drawings that made the ambiance very interesting. The gates were high and large, made of iron, and loomed over the other surrounding buildings.Jude’s heart was beating fast as he was now close to the castle. Monarch Thompson had released him from Prison so that he could help deal with Paul and run a few errands for him.Monarch Thompson was quite jealous of Paul and the jealousy heightened after the last event where Paul’s grandfather, Grandmaster Leonard announced him as the head of the Imperial Society Syndicate.Grandmaster Leonard had always had a tough relationship with the monarch and oftentimes he would try to appease the monarch by gifting him lands or even building houses for him.Grandmaster Leonard feared that without such sacrifices, the Monarch would make it difficult for him to run his companies appropriately. Monarch Thompson had a l

Monarch Thompson soon retracted his hands in recognition that he was probably blaming the wrong person. His eyes were still red-filled in anger though.“And the security card that is with me? What was his reaction to it? Did you tell him that I am going to destroy it if he doesn’t bow to me and pay me the 300 million dollars he owes me?”Jude didn’t exactly tell Paul that he was going to destroy the security card but at that point, he needed to say exactly what the Monarch wanted to hear. “Yes, I told him. I warned him sternly about it,” Jude responded, his eyes still burning with fear.It was a mystery to Jude how foolish he was to think that he was going to tell Monarch Thompson to return Paul’s security card.Being in the presence of the monarch, the thought didn’t even creep into his mind. He was recalling what Paul told him about not helping his wife Sarah with her delivery if he didn’t retrieve the security card from Monarch Thompson.But that was definitely an empty threat, Jud

She muttered a prayer for mercy as she ran through the thick forest. Her legs didn’t stop until she hit a barrier, her whole body landing in a heap at the figure in front of her.Miriam was careful enough to make sure that one of the trees didn’t trip her down even though she was running at a high speed. But it wasn’t a tree that halted her run if not she would have been down on the ground with injuries to her face and body. The creature would have also eaten her up.Miriam looked up to see clearly who it was. She gasped in disbelief as her brain calculated the person in front of her. Her whole body was frozen in silence as she thought that she had seen a ghost. Her eyes must have been playing tricks on her- very expensive tricks. Her feet were rooted to the ground in terror as she struggled to catch a breath. Miriam turned back to see if the creature that was pursuing her was still there and to her surprise, the creature had vanished completely. The terror was no longer there - only

Miriam’s body softened, and her breath released in an escape of worry. Perhaps Olivia had a way of escape, she reasoned.“Now, let’s all go get her now,” Cyborg ordered and the hitmen all readied their feet, their weapons sharpened. “She has definitely not gone too far. It’s funny how she thinks that she can escape in this deserted area.”“Serfa, you stay with Miriam,” Cyborg commanded. “Punish her a few more, hit her, slap her, just humiliate her a little more in readiness for when we come back but don’t kill her yet. I want her death to be fun.”Ms. Serfa nodded in pleasure, a smirk on her face as she listened intently to Cyborg’s instruction while the rest went out in search of Olivia.***The newborn cried, her voice a desperate plea for attention to the delight of everyone in the room.The baby was a delicate creature with beautiful eyes, a tiny precious gift, and a miracle of creation.Camille, who had been gesturing and encouraging Sarah to push the baby out couldn’t help but s

The agents had their eyes sharp with a deadly focus of vigilance and their hearts steeled as they moved a few steps forward.Paul and Ms. Turner, who had followed the agents were no longer with them as they were inside the warehouse untying Miriam.The agents stood at attention at the command of their leader when he sensed some danger.POW!A gunshot escaped between the trees and fell on one of the agents.Agent Hawthorns, the same man who gave Paul a gun was shot dead, his whole body landing on the ground to the dismay of the other agents.How tragic!The other agents fired up with an angry resolve, their fingers pulling the triggers repeatedly as they fired through the trees.POW! POW! POW! POW!The gunshots were loud and continuous. It was a complete show of anger and retaliation from the agents.It proved too much of an attack for Ms. Serfa who fell to the ground in a heap - one of the many bullets hit her destructively.Ms. Serfa gasped for breath with a ready rasp for agony, her
