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

The cold weather sunk into Allen’s skin as he picked out his outfit for the day, he remembered Jessica’s scolding “I want you to be there tomorrow, you’re meeting with my friends” her voice resounding in his head. “Now let me see, taking this coat will help with the cold,” he said picking out a black king coat, and a black shirt to match, his body was bare, showing his full six-pack abs and a streamline barely covered by his trousers.Allen took his clothes to match and put them on the bed as he quickly rushed into the bathroom, taking his facial routine. His face was quite smooth, and he put on some of his moisturizers “I think I need to be in full control of this beauty” Allen muttered, tapping some of the lotions on his face.It made no sense why he did all of it, to impress Jessica’s friends. It most definitely wasn’t that, it was to lure her even more and make her feel better about having him around. Jessica had a thing for looks, that was the only reason she would settle for so

The room was quite dark, the curtains were closed shut and the duvet was over her head “Get a grip, Ellen!” David said in an alarming tone, pulling the duvet away, Ellen curled up on the bed “Why didn’t you quit before all this?” She asked, taking a stab at David’s chest.“You need to stop sulking and talk to me,” David said sitting at the end of the bed and watching Ellen avoid him the best way she could, by not seeing his face. “It was a sort of government organization, I didn’t want to get you involved,” David said.“Yet, I was the first target” Ellen snapped turning her head to him “The fact you’re fiesty shows that you’re recovered” David joked as Ellen turned her head away from him again showing anger “I was just joking, okay,” David said.“You could have died, don’t you know that?” Ellen asked teary “You’re the only family I’ve got,” she said now sobbing “I’ll be fine, there’s no need to panic, we’ll be fine” David answered pulling her in for a hug. “We’ll be fine, we always a

Allen quickly dodged the bullet, thanks to Ultimate who had easily pointed out where he would shoot from. "Try again in hell," Allen said and a gun was shot at Moses on his hand, making his gun drop. Everyone averted their gazes to the door and saw two familiar men standing there, Sylvester Williams and David, the last two users. "One thing I hate the most is to be fooled and you all fooled me," Williams said and stepped forward. "All these years, I believed my death would bring calmness to the world. I thought I was doing it for the good and safety of this world. I even went as far as hunting down the other users just to satisfy you. I should have known better."Lake and Mike tried to attack but they got shot instantly by Mary and Josh who both walked in together. "I hope I am not too late?" Mary asked and crocked her gun. "You- you should be dead," Lake said, groaning in pain. "Unfortunately, I am not. I am your nemesis and that's why I survived," Mary answered and pointed her

The hall became silent as they all had their eyes on him. Suddenly, one of them stood up and smirked. "Allen Scott, we have been expecting you. You came right to us," he said. Allen crocked his gun and pointed it at him. "Yes. And I am here to end this nonsense. Enough with all his. You all have hunted our lives for years but today, all this is going to end."The man clicked his tongue and shook his head. "Do you think all these would be the end?""I don't think. I know. Besides, no one is going to save any of you. The agents are gone."The man averted his gaze to Moses and shook his head. "You finally got them. I am sure you told them about you being the good guy and we being the bad guy."Allen drew his brows and looked at Moses who had no expression on his face. He immediately knew what Mary said was true. They were to be trusted and for that, he wasn't surprised. "Mr Scott, do you believe everything this man told you?" Allen looked at Moses again and smirked. "Why shouldn't I

Mary noticed the man secretly smiling at someone behind her and when she turned, she saw it was George. Her heart skipped a bit. He was smoking back at them but in a way that said 'good job,' she swallowed hard and looked at the men as her instinct immediately pointed at George as a member of the group that attacked them. She quickly shook her head and tried to brush off her thought. "No, George wouldn't do this. He is part of this team and has been a loyal member," she concluded inwardly and glanced at him one more time. This time, she noticed he was staring back at her with a frown plastered on his face. He stared for a while before he let out a small smile.She gulped nervously and looked away. "This can't be. George can't be part of them," she said and stood up, bringing everyone's attention to her. "What is wrong?" Allen asked, staring at her with concern. She looked at George again who had his brows creased. She couldn't take away the thought that he could be one of them an

"Tomorrow?" Josh asked with his eyes stretched wide. He walked forward and went on, "What do you mean tomorrow? We aren't prepared to face this people. We would need more time.""Mr Gregory," Moses called, taking Josh by surprise because he never expected him to know his name. Moses went on, "It was a quick date fixed and I have no power to stop it. The project society are been too anxious and that would be our greatest weapon against them.""Greatest weapon? In what way would we win this fight when I don't even have a clue of what you are talking about?""They are moving quick. Tomorrow is the day for the project," Lake answered."How is that possible? We haven't been caught by them," Josh asked, stepping forward."They have you all where they want you. They will come over to take you tonight."Allen drew his brows in confusion. "What do you mean? How do they have us right where they want?""Do you think the society are dumb? They know where you all are. They have been monitoring you

Steph abruptly stood up, shocked to see her standing there. She swallowed hard and asked nervously, "how long have you been there?""For a while," she answered and walked in completely. "There is someone who wants to meet you," she said and quickly walked out of the room. Steph sighed deeply and faced Allen who stood quietly, staring at the closed door. "She heard us. I feel so bad," she muttered."Let me go and meet this guests of mine," he answered dryly and walked out of the room. "This guy is messed up," she muttered and went after him. They got to the living room and Allen drew his brows, seeing the strange faces in the living room. As he drew closer, they all stood up. "Hello, Mr Scott," they greeted in unison.He got closer and stood before them. "Hello to you too. How may I help you?" He asked. "I am Moses Banks, this man beside me," he pointed at the man by his right side. "Is Lake Hall. And the second here is Dennis. We are all aware of your position as the subject been

"Brother I-" Steph barged into the room and her words hung in her throat when she saw Allen and Mary jerked up. Just when their lips met, they got distracted. Steph who had noticed what they were doing, looked down embarrassed. "I am sorry for barging in this way," she apologized. Allen's eyes stretched wide, realizing what he had done with Mary. He looked at her and noticed she looked embarrassed and was trying not to look at anyone. He cursed inwardly and rubbed the back of his neck "What happened to me? What was I about to do?" He asked, mad at himself. "I can come back later. It's not important," Steph said and made to leave but Mary stopped her. "You don't have to go anywhere, Steph. I am about to leave," she said and hurried out in embarrassment. Immediately she did, Steph's lips curled up into a smile as she faced her brother. "Big bro, what is going on?" She asked cheekily. Allen rubbed his neck and sat on his bed. He was still trying to figure out what had happened to

All of them stared at him, surprised to see a different person. Allen let out a deep breath and stood up. "I have gone through the first step of my plan and that is going to Josh's company. I've been able to convince someone important to join me."Josh drew his brows, wondering who he was referring to as the important person. "Who is that?""I will let you know when the time comes," he answered. "So what is your next plan?" Steph asked, worried about her brother and at the same time, glad he wasn't having so much anger that she thought would ruin him. "I will be visiting the safe very soon. I think my money is long over due there," he answered. "Are you crazy!" Steph and Maryjane chorused at the same time, with their eyes popped open. "Why would you plan to do that when you know the situation surrounding you?" Dr Thompson asked. "I won't be able to do this on my own. I will need all your help but you don't have to worry, no one would be in danger because this. I have a plan and

Allen looked intently but found nothing. He drew his brows and looked at the old man. "What do you want me to see there? There is nothing except water," he answered. "Look carefully."Allen strained his eyes, trying to see what he was talking about but there was nothing. Was the old man imagining something there? It could be possible because his sight most have gone bad, he thought."There is nothing there," He answered, confident about it.The old man clicked his tongue and gave him a light got on his shoulder. "That is what you think. It is because you allow your eyes are what you want it to see. Look deeper and you will find what I am showing you."Allen looked closely and it took a while before he saw something floating on the water. "What is that?" He asked. "That is something I put on the water. Don't worry, I will get it out," he answered and laughed. Allen wondered why he didn't notice t at first. The old man laughed to his heart content and faced him again. "You see, not

Allen drove down the road, heading for his villa. His first mission for the day was accomplished and that was getting Mr Benson to his side. Getting the others would be easy. He suddenly took a different turn, heading for the beach instead. "Why are you going to the beach?" Ultimate asked. "I need a time to myself. I have a lot going on and all I can think of right now is bringing the project Erubus society down. My anger is really overwhelming me and now, I am really worried," he answered and let out a deep breath. "Every one keeps telling me to calm down and not make wrong decisions because of my emotions. I think they are right. I need to calm down so I can handle this mission as calmly as I can.""That's a great step, Allen. Anger is a strong feeling of displeasure, hostility towards someone, usually with an urge to harm. It's good you decide to calm yourself down."Allen laughed at how ultimate read out the meaning of anger to him. He focused his attention on the road until he
