“You dare to talk back,” Lincoln said, raising his voice “We had a deal, you said you wouldn’t break the promise,” David said, a bit agitated yet his voice was calm. “I don’t like your tone, plus, we had agreed, haven’t we?” Lincoln said now smiling as he held the stick trying his best to stand up “She’s safe David, I’m on standby” David heard from the telecom, now feeling assured.Lincoln stood up and walked into the pathway “Bring her out!!” He yelled as the men came with a young girl in their arms, she was now pale “Ellen!!” David yelled as he saw only a glimpse of her gloomy face.Rushing over to hold her, “Weren’t you feeding her? She looks too pale” David said as her face was covered with her hair, her ash brown had hair become dry, her lips scaling because of how dry they were from lack of water.“I’d have her put in a hospital as quickly as I can if I were you” Lincoln voiced, interrupting the family reunion, heeding to him, David rushed, Ellen in his arms, her breathing was
The place was quite dark, it had an eerie vibe, the man walked in shivering in fear, and even when he tried to cover it, his body began to sweat profusely as his head turned around and was abruptly stopped by a voice.“Any news?” The man asked in a deep masculine tone, his face not visible to the scared man “It.. seems your plan worked… Allen Scott is.. dead” the man said in a shaky voice, it was rather too obvious that he didn’t want to be there.“Really? Was his body retrieved?” The voice asked once again now approaching the man “N.. yes, yes it was.. it was burnt badly” the man answered, his hands clasped together “I see.. so Allen wasn’t as tough as I thought” he said now coming to the small ray of light coming from a high window above “I’m the strongest system user, aren’t I?” He asked the man.“Yes.. yes you are,” the man said trembling with fear as he saw William’s face in the light, his left eye with a scar “His dagger did this to me, and if I wasn’t fast enough he almost had
The scent of lavender and a strong masculine perfume filled the air, the ladies were in awe as they saw the reason for such a beautiful scent, their eyes watching the young man walk down with his head held high.There was a distant chatter between the women and men around “The new manager looks enticing, only a month of work and he’s this dashing” a lady said, her hands over her mouth as though covering three pieces of information from reaching the ears of others.“Do you think he has a woman?” Another asked, her face reddening from smiling too much “Of course he does, don’t ever ask that, he’s Mr Grey’s granddaughter’s boyfriend because he’s so beautiful but.. his scent fills the air, I think I need his scent as my oxygen” Another said, fawning completely over him.He walked into an office, closing the door behind him, the room was quite dark, the blinds were still down, and the desk had an emblem that read ‘Arnold Norton’ and below ‘Supervising Manger’ he quickly took his black tuxe
Ellen’s eyes had opened only just a little, she struggled to try to sit up in the absence of anyone beside her, as just then she saw her cousin, David look from the doorway, and he rushed to her side.“Nurse!!” He called out as he stood by her side holding her hand “I’m so glad you’re safe” he muttered as he saw her weak hands on the hospital bed and in his hands. “I don’t know what I would have done if I lost you” he added.“We..when will I be... discharged?” Ellen asked in a frail voice, her hands still weak and somewhat helpless “Don’t worry about that, I’ll have you out as soon as possible” David answered, a smile forming on his lips.It was already a bit dark, David had succeeded in proceeding with the discharge form and was now free to take her home. “Are you both set to go?” The young nurse asked “Yeah, thank you so much for your help, I truly am grateful to you” David answered smiling.He walked outside the hospital, Ellen being supported by his firm hands, he stepped outside,
The cold morning felt like it would last forever, it was foggy and it hadn’t poured yet, although it seemed that it would. Allen looked at the window, his eyes staring blankly at the morning sky as though he was looking for something. Feeling energetic, he leaped out of bed, staring at the wall clock “It’s 6 am on the dot” Allen said before getting into his routine.He went in for a shower, and he only had baths after a long day at work, so after taking his shower, he did the bare minimum for his routine ‘Daily quests confirmed’ The system read “Yes” Allen accepted. His daily quests included having to do more than a thousand push-ups, a minimum amount of 300 crunches, and then proceeding for a mile run. Allen had never thought that these daily quests would shape him into the killing machine he had become after the incident with his sister.After finishing his routine, the time had gotten to 8 am, it was time to clock in at work. Having to work at Grey’s Enterprises made him happy, an
David felt too grateful to his savior, remembering how had tried to initiate a conversation and how it ended as a complete bust, he felt dejected. Cooking lunch for his sister required that he would be the best cook, as he thought to himself, so hastily, he made the spaghetti and meatballs as best as he could.“Smells good, doesn’t it?” David said, smiling as he looked at Ellen who was already sitting by the table waiting for the meal to be served. “Yeah,” she answered with all her might. Ellen had been very weak for the time she stayed at the house after the incident. “You should have spicy spaghetti and meatballs, I’m glad you like it” David answered as her caretaker and her only family. “Who was that guy that helped us?” Ellen asked, taking some food into her mouth “Oh that’s Allen, we worked together” David answered slightly bowing his head “Is everything fine?” Ellen paused to ask, her voice was still a little frail.“Yeah, it’s just that we don’t work together anymore, and I be
“So you were serious about not coming home with me,” Jessica said in a low tone as though pleading like a lost puppy, her eyes a bit watery “I said another time, okay,” Arnold said assuring her before she wanted him goodbye from the inside of the car.Arnold watched her as he waved a bit as well, seeing her off. After he had done his required task, he headed back to his office to finish what he was doing before lunch.His desk was filled with files “Finally got my hands on his transactional documents” he muttered to himself, taking off his blue suit and putting it on his chair. “Thank you Norman” he added, taking the files to his bag to be examined a lot more at home.Sitting down on the chair, he remembered how he had come across the young man who fell to the ground, raising his voice and crying about the death of his sister. “You won’t get away with this!! I promise you” the man yelled, wailing as he was pulled by muscly bodyguards. “Shut your mouth,” one of the men in dark suits sa
The whole day went by, and Allen could only think of ways to make the dangerous seven regrets ever trying to eliminate him, he calmly sat looking up and after a while got up to go home, it was already late and he wasn’t the type to overwork himself, he quickly took his coat and bolted out the door.“Goodnight sir,” his secretary said smiling, he calmly nodded not uttering a word ‘Doesn’t he ever lighten up?’ She thought to herself as she too started packing up her work so she could leave as well.Allen bolted out the door as quickly as he could, not minding who had seen him or not, he went to the parking lot, opened his car door, and got in, entering his car, he sat down, buckled his seat belt to his side as just then he heard a voice from behind “Hands behind your head” Allen quickly took his hand behind his head as said.“Listen to me carefully,” the man said, putting the gun so close to his nape that he slightly felt it on his ski, Allen hesitated “You’ll drive this car in the dire
