It was no surprise that Arnold got back to work almost immediately after having that conversation with Mr. Palmer, he didn’t want to get married to her, at least not yet, his plans were still solidifying and not yet in fruition.Arnold carefully stacked files that were in front of him, placing them onto a shelf, he was dutifully following every instruction he was given by the Chief Executive Officer. He kept flipping through the pages of the documents in his hands when he heard his phone ring, causing his concentration to go blank, he took the phone which sat on top of the desk and checked the caller ID, ‘Philly’ it read.Allen looked at his phone and he paused for a while before taking the call “Yeah, hello” he said “Master Allen” Phil responded “It’s Arnold, now” he corrected him since there was no way to tell if his phone was being bugged.“Sorry about that” Phily apologized, his voice was low “What is it?” Arnold asked in a calm tone “Well, sir, Mr. David’s cousin has decided to

The room was quite dark, it was quite hard for the young girl to move around the place, she had only a guarding voice following her as she trailed off. She walked closer to what seemed like a monument, she placed her hand on it to understand the sculpture before her.It was a creature, she couldn’t make out what she had just touched, it felt damp and touching the part where the head was supposed to be, she noticed that it was empty, just then, a loud thud sounded through, a ray of light came with it, it was lightning, she noticed what she had touched, had no head, she pulled back, screaming in terror.She grappled to the ground, and she felt vines trying their best to have their grasp on her, she looked at the sculpture in horror, it was familiar, and it felt absurd, she touched her head, because what she had seen made her so shocked she crawled away, “That can’t be me” she said with a shaky voice.As she tried to run away from the horror of what she had seen, she noticed a man standi

Jessica watched as her date walked to the bathroom, how could she tell him that although she was the one who brought the idea, she felt so uncomfortable sitting and dining with the same people who made rumors about her in high school?She mustered enough courage to walk over to where a group of people sat, chattering as well “Jess” a young man said alerting the others as they looked at her “Good evening, guys” Jessica said with a shy smile.She calmly sat on the empty seat with her name on it “So.. where’s your boyfriend we famously heard about from Valerie” A young lady said enthusiastically “Yeah, we would like to see him” a young man said with a grin on his lips, holding a glass of wine to his lips.“I’m sure Valerie just said things,” another said stopping her from speaking “He.. just went.. to the washroom,” Jessica said with a shaky voice “He must have bladder issues,” another said laughing as the others joined him as well.Valerie knew that it was the wrong choice she had made

Palmer felt on edge while he sat in a circle of people more fierce than he had ever worked with, a younger man who had a stern expression sat at the end of the table, his chair facing the window, his back against the rest of them who sat in the room.“Grey” the man called out, making Palmer lose his composure “Ye..yes sir” he answered, his voice low and shaky “You said you wouldn’t make your granddaughter continue in your footsteps, didn’t you?” The man asked, his voice was cold “Yes sir” Palmer answered.“Then who’s going to take after you then” the man said in a rather calm voice as all eyes turned to Palmer, his face becoming pale, “My soon-to-be grandson-in-law, he’s more than capable,” the old man said in a frail voice. “Well then, do well to have him see me,” the man said in a cold voice as Palmer took his seat.After the meeting, the men left the room, going to the various destinations “He still gives me a mild heart attack whenever I see him” Palmer said to the man walking by

Arnold held her hand gently until he reached the car, opening the door to the passenger seat for her, Jessica watched her head and entered the car.All eyes had turned to the couple as they walked into their car, Arnold had one last glance at Ronald “We’ll meet again soon” he muttered. Arnold entered the driver’s seat of the car and started driving.His eyes focused solely on the road, trying his best not to recall what he had said in the restaurant ‘Babe?’ He thought to himself, he tried his best to avoid eye contact with Jessica whose eyes stared deep at his soul as he drove, he could tell she was smiling from ear to ear even without looking at her.“Thank you” Jessica muttered “Huh?” Arnold said trying to hear what she had just said “I said thank you and also I’m sorry about them” she voiced out, Arnold looked at her for a while before focusing on the road once more “It’s fine, it wasn’t your fault, they were assholes, I need to commend you for putting up with them,” Arnold said ma

Allen submerged himself into the pool of water, groaning “Today was rather a long day” he said putting his face in the water. Then he heard a sound, a ring, it was his phone, pulling his face out of the water.He took on the the towel hanging on the side, taking it to his face, he cleaned up the water from his face before approaching the table where his phone was with his body bare.“Hello,” he said on the phone “They tried to get into the house” Phily answered in a low tone. “Really? Are you hurt? What about David and Ellen?” Allen asked him “They’re both fine, we put them in a semi-conscious state” Phily answered calmly notifying him that all was well.“Fine then, I’ll interrogate them myself,” he said before ending the call. “That was a tricky move William” Allen said to himself “I’ll make sure you never have to do that again” he muttered, dropping the phone on the table before taking his night robe.After wearing the robe, he calmly sat on the end of the huge bed, taking his phone

He lay in wait, holding his binoculars in the dark, he noticed two men holding what seemed like heavy rifles pacing “So they’re truly hiding something in there” he muttered holding the binoculars even more firmly.He noticed the men watching the perimeters as though they were hawks, keeping their eyes peeled as he watched them from afar. “What are they hiding?” The man muttered still watching them.Something had happened attracting the attention of the guards, it seemed like an explosion, the men rushed to the scene “They’re leaving their posts, go, go, go” the man whispered into the telecom.The men behind moved at his command going in, they climbed down the cliff, moving with their knives and guns as stealthy as they could, trying their best not to make any sounds.“Got eyes on an opening” he suddenly heard from his telecom “Got it, follow” he answered moving as well. They followed commands and entered the gates that were now free because the guards had become occupied with the expl

The room was too dark, she moved her hands around the walls as she heard footsteps “Why are you here?” She asked with a sobbing throat “I came to inform you that even though your brother’s dead, he positioned people who would look for you, I must commend him” the man said, his hands behind his back.“What… what do you mean by that?” She asked, her voice becoming stronger “Don’t you dare tell me he’s dead, he’s alive, he’ll find me and kill you” she said pointing her fingers towards him.“Come on, now, you don’t have to be that harsh” he answered walking closer to her “Besides he got his part of revenge when he slashed through my illusion, giving me this scar” he added “Now, he’s gone and once I finish the troop he sent, I’ll send you to him, for now, I want them to have hope that they can find you” he said with a smirk.“He’ll kill you, my brother Allen will have your head on a platter!!!!” Stephanie replied, screaming at him as he left “Goodbye.. my love” he answered with a smile.“M

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
