“Who the hell are you?” Valerie challenged the stranger that was standing before her. He tried to take a step forward but she moved back, grabbing the nearest solid object she could find behind her which was the remote. “Stay back, close to me and I'll scream,” she said, pointing the remote menacingly at him. His lips parted in a small smile. “What are you going to do to me with the remote, stab me with it?” He asked humorously. Her jaw was still tightened. He sighed, seeing that he wasn't getting to her. He was styled in an expensive black suit and his glossy leather shoes gave away the fact that he was at least an affluent man. “Can I sit?” He gestured towards the chair in her room. “No, I want you to leave. Leave before I scream.”Despite being uninvited, he went ahead to sit down and adjust his trousers. “Relax, you're quite feisty. I mean they told me but seeing it in person is even more alluring,” his voice rasped as he narrowed his eyes on her. She raised an eyebrow, sti

Renée’s eyes flashed open, the blurry surrounding slowly sharpening into a vivid image. She was lying on a hospital bed in a pristine white room. She stirred out of sleep and back into consciousness. The dull ache in her head was constant but manageable. Turning her head around to survey the room, she asked. “Where am I?”Therese stopped forward. “You're in the hospital darling, Jason brought you here after you passed out.”“What the hell were you even doing in that hotel?” Clifford asked.“Clifford! Now is not the time, can't you see she's just waking up?” Therese shot back, silencing her husband. She stroked her daughter's hair gently. “Darling, how are you feeling?”Renée shifted on the bed, taking a more upright position. “Just a little weak, nothing much.”The door clicked open and the doctor walked holding some files. Everyone was on their toes as they wanted to hear what the doctor had to say. Another person walked into the room, Jason. He was behind the doctor. “Glad to

Ethan stood on the boat, placing his cupped hands against his forehead to block the extra light that was hitting his eyes. He looked ahead, he still had quite the distance to cover despite being close. With a frustrated sigh, he tried to start the engines of the speed boat once again, pulling on the rope. This time the engine didn't even sputter or respond, he knew he had to make his way out of this situation by thinking quickly. He rummaged through some things on the floor and that was when he noticed the paddle. Feeling slightly relieved, he grabbed it and dipped it into the water, propelling the boat forward. His muscles twitched as he began to use them to row the ball, the sound of water splattering with each stroke. Slowly he began to get closer to the islands in the distance. By now the dreadland army should have been here already or at least close enough. He kept moving, his determination palpable. Finally the structures on the island became magnified as his boat reached t

Ever since their conversation in the hospital, Renée and Jason haven't seen eye to eye. He had left angrily and stormed off to his house without saying another word to her. Even though they had agreed to be separated before, he still found it very offensive that she would even suggest a thing like that. She had not told her parents about this suggestion and was still contemplating whether or not she could actually push through with it. The truth was that for her, she felt like the pregnancy was going to hinder her career; who would vote for a mayor because that was put in the family way by a guy that wasn't her husband. It seemed like the obvious solution so this video comment was to marry Jason, but at the same time she also did not like Jason and saw no future with him. There was a knock on her door that snapped her out of her deep thoughts. Her eyes widened and she raised her head, “yes who's there?” She asked. “It's your mother, can I come in?” Therese took her silence for

Jax stepped forward, his hands stretched out as he signaled for his men to lower their weapons. Ethan opened his mouth to speak but before the words could come out, he was instantly put on a gag, muffling his words. “Let him go or we will not allow this helicopter to take off.”Cyrus chuckled. “You know, I'm actually looking forward to that, Christ the helicopter and kill your legion commander wouldn't that be nice?” He said, a small smile forming on his lips. Ethan was struggling to speak, he wanted Jax to end it and shoot Cyrus on the spot. However, his resistance was met with a painful consequence as Trevor rammed the gun against his head, creating a gash that began bleeding. “If you don't stay put there's plenty more where that came from,” he warned Ethan. “So what do you want, Cyrus?” “I'm glad you asked, I thought you would never ask. In exchange for your legion commander, I want a safe exit for me and my men, nothing too much, I'm not greedy.”Jax turned and met eyes with
