Renée was still berating herself for what happened. Even though she had no way of outrightly proving that anything happened, she could feel it. Two adults didn't just wake up on the bed undressed if nothing didn't happen right? She was still lost in her thoughts when her door opened and Therese walked inside the room. Renée raised her head and then got on her feet. “Mom!” She hugged her mother tightly. “I'm so glad you're alright, you and dad. I heard about the explosion but then it turned out the beacon was missile proof.”“Indeed, if it wasn't for that hundreds of us would have been dead. Including your father and I.”“Where is dad anyway?” Renée asked. “In his usual place.” Therese’s smile faded when she noticed how troubled her daughter looked. “Is anything the matter honey?” Renée gave it a deep thought and then shook her head. “I'm fine.”Clifford on the other hand was in his office fuming with anger. Today he felt like Ethan had treated him with such disregard, placing his

Desmond was finally discharged from the hospital. Martha was trying to help him stand as he had been feeling weak due to all this while lying down doing nothing. Larry entered the room with the doctor. “I see you're doing better Mr. Vanguard,” the doctor remarked. “I feel brand new,” he quipped, making everybody in the room burst out in laughter. “You need to take things easy from now on, try to avoid stressful situations be it emotionally or physically. Get lots of rest and watch your diet. You're highly prone to another heart attack so you have to take things easy okay?” Desmond nodded with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. He knew the implication of everything the doctor was saying, the time for him to resign and step down as CEO was closer than ever. “With that being said, you're free to leave. Enjoy your stay with your family at home.” The doctor patted his shoulders lightly. A few seconds after the doctor left, his wife's voice penetrated his haze of thoughts. “What

For 2 years he didn't hear anything from her, there was no contact. One day she randomly called him in tears and told him everything. By now the war was coming to an end and she finally felt like she was stable in life. She told him that she had two children for him, twins. Now she was living in the capital city of iva and had a small business going for her which she used to sustain her kids. Keith was a mess when he found out that he had children with her. Despite the fact that the time they spent together was relatively short, he was still deeply in love with her. Since the time he and her were together, he had risen in rank and was now a lieutenant. Robert was at the verge of retirement and Ethan would soon become the legion commander. This was a critical time and he couldn't leave yet. He could only communicate with Leilani and his kids through video calls and voice calls. It was very hard for him but it was all he could do. “Keith, the children are turning three this yea

The trudging of his boots filled the air as he made his way through the hallway, Natasha was following behind him with a tablet in her hand. “Sir, you would have to get some fake documents and head to Davenport my ship to avoid any travel records that would point to you coming from Armoria. Then take a flight to Ivar from there with your fake documentation. It's a long shot but it's possible.” “Then let's do it.”He took a sharp turn and she mirrored his movement. “Just one problem, he wouldn't be able to carry your weapons with you from Davenport to Ivar. That would leave you vulnerable.”“That's not a problem, I'm not planning to fight, I'm just going to rescue someone.” He came to a stop in front of the door where Keith was kept. The security guard gave him a curt nod and then he grabbed the handle and pushed it open. “Lieutenant, are you ready to go save your family?”Keith's eyes grew wide. “Yes commander. But how?” “Natasha and I have found a way, it'll be a dangerous miss

Skyler held her breath, instantly growing confused as to why these boys were walking towards her. Irene instantly got on defence mode and step forward such that she was now standing in front of Skyler. From the back, Raul sighed. “What do you want mason?” He asked.The boys are not actually working towards Skyler, they were working towards Raul who was standing behind Skyler. “You brat, so you think you could just get away with what you did in the morning?” The one in the middle, Mason, said. Mason was the one that was with Sam the other day. When Irene noticed that the boy is walked past them, she relaxed a bit. “Come on Skyler let's go,” she whispered, grabbing the girls wrist and leading her away. However Skyler could help but look back at Raul, the boys circled around him and from the looks of it it wasn't a friendly encounter. One of them shoved Raul backwards. Earlier today in the dorms, there was the misunderstanding between Mason and Raul. This eventually led to mason at
