One afternoon, Stephanie set off towards Serenity Crest Estate, her thoughts racing with questions and doubt. She couldn't believe that her brother, Allen, had moved into such an affluent neighborhood. She had thought that he was lying about the whole issue of buying a house at Serenity Crest estate but when she passed by his house, she saw that the building had already been taken down as it was not fit for a human to live in. She made up her mind to immediately confirm it herself as she was already hearing things from people close to herself that he had moved out. The estate, after all, was home to the wealthiest individuals in the country. Yet, if the rumors circulating about her brother were true, he was indeed living there.As she approached the gated entrance of the estate, her heart raced with a mix of curiosity and unease. The imposing iron gates seemed to symbolize the divide between the rich and the rest of the world.Stephanie took a deep breath and stepped forward, she to

Allen ushered her into the house himself while his assistant trailed behind them ogling at the way the siblings were all over each other. Allen quickly ordered a maid to whip something for Stephanie to eat since she was coming from a pretty far distance. "You have a maid now?" Stephanie asked, expressing her surprise. "Well yes," Allen answered. "I've got quite a lot of hands to help around here," he said, gesturing to the house. "How can you afford to pay them?" She asked again. "Well I can," he answered again as if he had already gotten used to the life of luxury but the fact was that he couldn't be everywhere at once and the work in the house was overwhelming. "The food is ready sir," the maid, Allen had instructed to prepare food for Stephanie. Stephanie spun her toward Allen. "They even refer to you as sir, Allen!" Stephanie said in a playful tone and Allen roared out with laughter. "it's not my fault. I wanted to get them to stop calling me that but they won't, so I just

"You haven't told me who that is?" Stephanie asked when they were back in the living room. "Who?" "The man who walked in before me," Stephanie said to him. "Oh him, that's my business partner, we have some kind of meeting," Allen informed her. "Just the two of you?" Stephanie's curiosity was piqued as she shot her eyes open at Allen wondering how he had gotten to the stage where he was now business partners they even breezed in and out of the house like they were housemates but she knew that was not the fact. As she waited for Allen to respond to her question, she tried to remember what the man had looked like. She couldn't exactly place a finger on his facial features but she remembered that the man had worn a very stern look the moment he got out of the car. The look on his face had scared her to the marrow. "No, me and a few other people," Allen said in a way that made Stephanie look at him suspiciously. She moved closer to him, hoping that the others around wouldn't hear wh

It was a typical afternoon at the estate, the sun shining brightly over the well-manicured lawns and gardens. But for Stephanie, something felt off. She couldn't place her finger on it, but she couldn't shake the feeling that something was about to happen.Her stomach was growling so she decided to go to the kitchen to fix something up for herself to eat. She stepped into the large kitchen and looked around instead of whipping something up like she had intended. "Woah, this place is so huge!" She said to herself as she continued to look around. She walked up to where the plates were racked and ran her hands over the plates. The only place she had seen these kinds of cutlery was in movies. "I'm not sure I can ever get used to this." She said, smiling to herself. "Do you need something, madam?" The maid's voice startled Stephanie and she spun around to look the maid in the eye. "Uhm." Stephanie searched her head for what to say but no words were forthcoming. Even though the place wh

The man was shrouded in darkness, his face obscured by a mask of shadows. Stephanie was utterly shocked as she turned around to find a man standing in the hallway. How had she not heard him when he walked up behind her?Stephanie wanted to mistake him for one of Allen's business partners but the look in her eyes told her otherwise. She stood frozen, her breath quickening in fear as he approached, his footsteps quiet but determined."Don't move," he whispered, his voice low and threatening. "If you scream, I'll kill you."Stephanie felt a hand cover her mouth, stifling her gasp of surprise.The man's grip was strong, his fingers digging into her skin. He dragged her into the hallway where no one would hear them as muffled screams escaped her lips. The man's grip tightened, his fingers digging painfully into Stephanie's flesh. She struggled against his grasp, but he was too strong, his hold unyielding.She could feel his breath hot on her neck, his body pressed against hers. His prese

"Now where is it?" The man said as he began to ransack Allen's room Stephanie sat there, her eyes watching his every move, wondering what the hell he was looking for that made him look so disoriented. "Where the hell that son of a bitch keep that safe, I know it's here somewhere." The man continued to rant to himself. "That better not be Allen you're referring to as a son of a bitch you bastard!" Stephanie said against her breath making sure that he hadn't heard her. The man turned to face Stephanie. She held her breath in her throat thinking that the man had heard her and she was in for it. "You little piece of shit. Why are you making a whole lot of noise, can't you see I'm trying to concentrate here?" He yelled the words out at her. "you better don't make me make you regret your actions." He said, wagging a finger at her. Stephanie swallowed the bile in her throat. With all the chaos and noise they had caused why hadn't Allen or someone else heard them? The man moved through

Allen started pacing the room as he clutched his head, tugging at his hair. "How did the hell did he get in here?" He screamed at Stephanie who was already frightened now than ever before. "I have no idea." She stuttered. "No, no, no. This isn't happening, this isn't happening to me." Allen said, almost on the verge of tears. He rushed to the window again and gripped the window bar, pressing his hand on broken glass as blood dripped from his palm and onto the window bar. His heart was already racing in his chest. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his insides so he wouldn't do anything drastic at that critical point, but it wasn't working for him. He surveyed the area, calculating how high he was from the floor. He put his leg out and was about to jump when a hand grabbed him. Allen turned around to see none other than David. Allen suddenly froze and allowed himself to be dragged back by David. "David... What are you doing here? I thought you said you weren't going to show up

The deed had already been done and all that clouded Allen's thought at that point was how to try to convince David that the safe would not be gone for long. Allen was about to speak but hesitated for a moment when he saw the look on David's face David stared at Allen, his eyes like chips of ice. "David, I need you to calm down okay?" Allen finally said. "I don't look tensed to you, or do I?" David questioned sarcastically. "That's not what meant, I....""I don't give a shit about what you mean, okay?" David bellowed. "Just bring back that safe and we're cool," David said, reducing the tone of his voice as soon as he realized that he was shouting. He turned to look at Stephanie in the face as if he knew that he was scaring her but he took his eyes off her in a heartbeat and focused them on Allen. "I'm going to bring it back, I just need you to trust me on my plan," I said as I cleaned my sweat again. "Listen here, I don't care about any of your plans. The safe got stolen from you

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
