Over the next few days, everything was peaceful, Rhys was more focused in taking complete control of the conglomerate, he had more things to learn. Most of the time, he had to work into the night, attend business events and show his face to the public. At that moment, he was standing in a dark corner with a glass of champagne, all alone, while representatives from different companies and business organizations were socializing, trying to get allies and business partners.The reason why he doesn’t have a lot of people surrounding him, trying to build connection was because, they were completely unaware that he was present. He had showed up with his father but instead, it was his father who had crowds around him. The sight simply amused him. He knew how much his father was going to nag once they returned home but he would rather Alessandro be in the Frontline to entertain this representatives and it be him.“I’m guessing you don’t enjoy this sort of event too.” He sharply turned around

The front door of the apartment was opened a bit, which meant that her friend was at home. Elena looked around, worried that someone had followed her after she snuck out of the mansion. She had worn a black gown with black sunglasses, then insisted on going to a restaurant in the night. While she was in the bathroom, she had found a way to ditch her guards and leave the restaurant through the back door.If it wasn’t cause of the message she had gotten from her friend, she would never have tried escaping from her guards. The message caused her to get really worried and she didn’t hesitate to show up all alone. “Bianca?” She pushed the front door open the rest of the way and entered the quiet apartment, shutting the door behind her. “It is me Elena, You told me to show up all alone. I’m here now,” Elena said as she walked a few feet away from the door towards the bedroom. “You forgot to close the main door again, that’s not the-”She never finished her sentence.Elena heard footsteps ru

Right on the bedside table was her phone, Elena grabbed it but as she turned it on, she was greeted with the fact that she had twenty missed calls; all from a restricted number that kept having a chance to contact her despite the number of times she changed her number. Elena stared at the missed call messages, worried it was related to the person that tried to abduct her the previous night. It was the why that bothered her. At that precise moment when she was brooding about the decision to make, her phone rang, displaying the restricted call in the caller ID. Elena was livid about the invasion of her personal space. She contemplated on whether or not to answer it but she changed her mind in the end. She tossed the phone to the side. Elena refused to answer the call, she refused to give him the satisfaction of answering the call. She wanted to act as if the call and the significance hadn’t even registered on her mind.In the end, she made a loud exasperated sound and turned off her p

Her breath was coming in hard pants as she took the final lap of her run with her dog, Bianca had run more aggressive, a better means to stay fit and a natural way to relieve the pressure that was gripping her. She followed this routine since she started college, along with the luxury of living alone with her dog, there was no roommate to compromise with or work around even if she would have gladly gone for the former. She could hang out with her only friend in the bookstore. Bianca thought of how she had lost her phone and the only means to contact her friend. She knew her identity. Elena Topaz. She came off as a sweet woman, one with an important identity and Bianca expected her to be proud and arrogant but that wasn’t the case. Elena had been very kind to her, helping her out of difficult situations. The difficult situation was related to her boyfriend, it was because of him that she had to run for her life. She had to keep running for a very long time but he always succeeded in

Rhys’s world went dark, his consciousness slipping away very fast and no matter how he tried to remain awake, the drug coursing in his blood forced him to the deepest part of his mind. All efforts was futile. He couldn’t move, couldn’t speak, couldn’t even open his eyes. He was trapped in a prison of his own body, unable to escape the horrors that awaited him.But he wasn’t bothered, he realized that his consciousness could still enter the inter-dimensional space and from there he could get a means to free himself but still, he waited; waited to see why he was taken and the people involved. So he spent more time with Rio who helped him while he went through life threatening methods to gain more strength After days passed, Rhys’s mind slowly returned to his body. He was met with a blur of faces, voices, and equipment beeping around him. He tried to speak, but his voice was barely a whisper. His body felt heavy, weighed down by an invisible force.The next thing Rhys noticed was the p
