Elena spotted him too. “Oh. I don’t know. I didn’t know he was going to be here.”“Elena. Who is Alex?” Ajax finally said, spitting out the burning question in his mind.“He was my first boyfriend and the cause of my first heart break.”Ajax nodded. “So he is not a threat?”Elena could not help but smile. “I love jealous Ajax. You are so cute when jealous. And nope. He is not a threat. I just went to say hi to him when I saw him at the mall earlier this evening.”Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and placed a kiss on her forehead. “I love you Elena and I don’t ever want another man to take you away from me.”She chuckled staring deep into his eyes. “I love you Ajax. And I will be here with you always. No one is taking me away.”“Always?”“Always.”“Oh it’s the love birds again. Hi, Elena.” A deep familiar masculine voice sounded close to them.The two broke their stare and turned to the intruder. It was Alex.He stretched his hands forward for a handshake.Ajax just stared at it with an ex
Raphael had just spotted Elena at a dark corner. Her white sparkling dress was what drew his attention.He approached her. He squinted and noticed that there was someone standing in the dark corner with her. “Elena? ” he called, surprised. She turned around and saw him, but she quickly looked away. Raphael saw tears in her eyes. They twinkled, reflecting light.Raphael looked to the person she was with and he immediately recognized him as Alex. Elena’s ex.It was then he saw the compromising position they were. Elena was leaning against a wall, Alex holding her hands and caressing her waist while their bodies were pressed together from behind.Alex released an exasperated sigh when he saw Raphael approaching them."What is going-" Raphael was saying but before he could finish his sentence, Elena pushed herself off Alex's body and disappeared in a blur.The action made him short of words.“-on here?” He finally said, completing his sentence.“And she also has a system.” Alex mumbled
Ajax itched to follow him and catch up with him, but he could not risk it. If he did, Nicholas would for sure know that he had a system.AsAlex left, Nicholas’s head fell in exhaustion.“Oh, this child. He wants to stress me.” Nicholas drawled in frustration.He took a deep breath, in a bid to gain strength and determination. His eyes grew hard, his stare pointed, his shoulders squared and then he handed the taser in his hands to Ajax, then he turned around and started to walk towards his van and his team.“C’mon guys. This one has got super speed. I’ve got my tracker on him. He could not have gone too far.”Ajax and Raphael remained in their position watching everything unfold.“Is it just me or did Nicolas spare that asshole with a system?” Raphael asked.“Looks like. Keep watching tho.” Ajax replied and watched as Nicholas pulled out what seemed to be an iPad from his pocket.Ajax wondered how that could even fit in there.Nicholas swiped the iPad open and zoned in on the location
They were not prepared for the scene they met. The whole party was brought to a stand still as everyone watched.Nicholas and his team were patrolling everywhere while Nicholas spoke to who Ajax assumed to be the president of Richmore.He wondered the kind of influence and impact Nicholas had that could make him bring a whole party to a stand still.He focused and listened in to hear their conversations.“I’m sorry but we have to find him and we would need your help.” Nicolas was saying.“I am really sorry Grey.” The elderly woman was saying. Her voice quivered and it made Ajax wonder more about Nicholas.“I am guessing you know the consequences of this action right?” Nicolas stated. His voice was emotionless and monotonous.“I do Mr Grey. I am deeply sorry for my son’s actions.” She said. Desperation laced her words. “If there is anyway you could do this without alerting the table.”Ajax eyes grew wide. Table? There was so much he didn’t know about.“If maybe I could retain my posit
Ajax’s vision zoned in and saw him staring at his girl. As though an instinct, he quickly moved Elena behind him, as if Ajax’s eyes were laser and he was trying to shield her away from his deadly glare. The action drew Alex’s attention to Ajax and immediately, his eyes hardened again.He made to move but then realized that he was held bound to a bed.He looked down at the bed. With every strength he could muster, he tried to break free but it seemed impossible.Elena released a sigh of relief. At least the chains were tight unlike how it was in her imagination.Realizing that his actions were futile and that he had lost, he began to laugh.He laughed bitterly for a long while.“You know I was so close.” He lifted his fingers, placing his thumb and fingers a minute space from each other. “I was This close to escaping and living and enjoying my life to the fullest.”He dropped his hands weakly and threw his head back in exhaustion.He laughed again. His laughter was bitter as bitter
It had been days after the Alex issues. Elena had been going with Ajax to grey’s labs. Mostly to see Alex and make sure he was fine.She did not have much to do during her internship there.She informed Ajax of her thought to change internship institution later on.“Come on. Grey’s labs is literally the best.” Ajax whined. He did not want her to go.“Yeah it is but there is no much exposure to my field of study. I think I would try the hospital close to the college instead.” Elena answered.They were at the diner close to grey’s labs having lunch during their break.Ajax huffed and stuffed another bagel into his mouth.The way he looked and acted made Elena laugh. She tittered, suppressing her laughter.Ajax looked up at her. “What’s wrong?” He asked through the food in his mouth.“The way you are eating right now is disgusting and hilarious at the same time.” Elena responded picking up a paper towel to wipe his mouth.Ajax smiled and chewed on his food. “I have been feeling extra hun
“Damn. This place is like a tech Heaven.” Raphael exclaimed as his stress looked around.“Shhh!” Ajax shushed him. “Don’t raise your voice! Speak quietly.”Raphael threw him an apologetic look as his eyes caught sight of something. He walked to it and saw it was a tube that things floated in.The whole lab was like something out of a sci-fi movie.“What’s this?” He asked in awe as he watched them move randomly as though gravity was not affecting them.“Don’t touch that.” Ajax warned. “I’m yet to understand everything here, but my guess is that that stuff should be from the outer space or something. I think the tube was built to recreate an environment like the outer space. I don’t know. I am just saying.”Elena saw a white board that showed something about various chemical equations that sounded like some things used in creating drugs. She checked the title. She had not quite heard the name of the drugs ever. It seemed that Ajax’s parents were also creating a drug or something, sh
“What the hell is that?” Raphael asked with a confused look.“I have no idea.” Ajax said.“Wait what? Project 11002?” Elena piped in.She had been quiet the whole while. This was the first time she was saying something.“I think I have read that somewhere.” She said as she began to search for the files on her own end that she read.She brought out a book and started shifting through the pages searching for where she saw it.“Here!” She exclaimed immediately she saw it.It was a heading and it was written in block letters and underlined on the left side of a page. At the bottom part.“Project 11002. Aim: To create an artificial portal.” Elena read. She looked to the next page that was on the right hand side. “in its own existence, has no consciousness or mind until it has taken a host. As time goes on, it begins to create consciousness in the mind of its host and hence begins to interact with its host. With time, the consciousness and minds begin to merge as one after the amalgamatio
