Her eyes snapped back to him, staring at him. “Yeah.”“I just got access to this ward. Come on in.” Adam said flashing a key card for her to see.Elena nodded and looked back. To her surprise, She did not see the girl, Caroline anymore. “Yeah sure.” She said facing Adam.“You good?” Adam asked staring intently at her.“Yeah. I’m good.” She answered nodding continuously.“You look like you have seen a ghost. What happened?” Adam probed further, worry in his eyes.Elena chuckled. “No. I’m fine.” Her eyes flickered to the ward and the little girl laying on the bed inside.“What is wrong with her?” Elena asked changing the topic.“Well. This little girl has cancers.” Adam said staring at the little girl.Elena felt her heart drop for the little girl.“What do you mean cancers?” Elena asked.“Well, numerous cancers. Leukemia, cancer of the brain, cancer of the ovaries amongst others.” Adam

“ So.” Adam started. “I would leave you two ladies to catch up.” Adam turned to Caroline. “I apologize for the inconveniences. It would be just for a nigh- wait, I’m sorry do you two happen to know each other? Because I am sensing some kind of tension here.”Elena stared at Caroline, waiting for her to talk. Caroline’s expressions and thoughts were the same as Elena. Spite and hate oozed from the two ladies.“Hello ladies.” Adam said waving his hands. “I am still standing right here.”Still no response. The two girls ignored the man in their midst and kept shooting death glare at each other.“Caroline. I think you may have forgotten whose presence you are standing in right now.” Adam spat. His voice thick with anger.Caroline straightened up immediately and glanced at him. “I am sorry.” She said bowing her head slightly.Elena’s lips parted in surprise. Okay. For Caroline to back down from their glaring contest and give reverence to this man, Adam was definitely someone of great im

“That was evil of you!” Elena exclaimed as she picked up herself, grunting in pain because she slammed her butt on the wall.Caroline stared at her, from her stained clothes to her toes. She really did her bad.“Come on, I’ll get you fresh nightie to freshen up.” Caroline suggested throwing her an apologetic look. “And while you are freshening up, I would bring dinner to bed and we can watch the movie together. Okay?”Elena was speechless. She had not gotten used to this side of Caroline. Her lips curled up in a smile. “Sure.” She finally managed to answer.Caroline nodded and made to leave for the bedroom when Elena called her attention back.Elena was staring at her watch because apparently, her phone’s battery was dead. She assumed it was so, because it was no longer turning on.She figured it must have died when she was with Adam.“Caroline!” Elena called out. “It is late. I’m really sorry but I have exams tomorrow and I need to rest.”“So no movie?” Caroline responded.“Yes. Sor

It was summer, and the air was warm. The sun shone in a cloudless sky as people walked along the streets of West Virginia.Exams had ended and students had evacuated the school grounds. Well, except for certain students that remained in school grounds for special reasons.“I am really going to miss you.” Raphael said throwing his hands over Ajax’s shoulder, hugging him tight.Elena stood by and watched them. Her keen eyes observing the tiny little details about them.Ajax looked stoic, clenching his jaw every now and then as he watched Raphael carry his things. He looked like he wanted to cry, but he had to keep his cool with an expressionless face, yet he also had to show that he would miss him too.All he needed was to balance it. Not to show too much emotions and not to show less. She would say he was doing quite a fine job.The way his hands itched and slightly reached out to Raphael when Raphael turned to her Elena.Elena was going to miss them too. They had become huge parts of

“Hey.” Adam greeted. Yes. It was that Adam. The same Adam that took on a tour round freedom movement town. The same one that Caroline liked. The same one that asked Caroline to house Elena for the night.He looked so different when compared to his previous look when he was with Elena.When he was with her, he had an air of superiority and carried himself, but now, he looked as immature as every freshman in Richmond. He was in a baggy jeans, a buttoned up T-shirt with a bag hanging over his shoulders and crossing to rest at his side.“Ajax.” He greeted seeming out of breath.“How are you doing?” Ajax asked greeting him with a smile.“I am very well.” Adam answered. “I wanted to show appreciation and thank you very much. The exam went well. Thanks to you.”Ajax smiled. “The pleasure is mine.”“Alright then.” Adam said smiling and turning around to leave.“You are also leaving for the summer holidays. Yeah?” Ajax asked as Adam turned to leave.“Yeah. Yeah I am. My family would be glad
Billionaire leveling up SUMMER HOLIDAY II
Ajax could not wait for the week of break that Nicholas gave him. It was a known fact that he took the job so that he could distract himself from ‘science stuff’ as Nicolas put it.But lately, the effort seemed to be futile as he always found himself spacing out and bringing wrong orders. His mind would always trail back to systems. He would be creating theories in his head.Most times, he would find himself grabbing a serviette and he would scribble some words and formulas in them.He was always looking forward to joining Nicolas back at work.Luckily for him, Cam respected him enough to not yell at him in front of his customers and coworkers.***Raphael had gone back to meet his mum at California. She was married to Thorne. They had been married since the day that Nicolas ruined their reception.The relationship of the new couple had always been on ups and downs.Thorne could not remember their relationship. Well, most of it, he could not remember. He knew for certain that he li

Elena gasped. Not in fear, but in shock that these men actually meant business.Okay. Time to play no games. It was real business. They were not ready to do a break for fun or anything of the sorts. These men wanted to steal from her and they were ready to hurt her if need be.The dagger that reflected the light she saw earlier was in the hands of the very man that she thought to be the leader of the small gang of thieves.He furtively put it behind him and started to approach them.Elena had gotten distracted by the man that held the dagger that she did not see the dude in front of her attacking her.All she did was blink and she saw herself being pushed to the floor and held bound and tight by the man that was in front of her.The man that she threw flying backwards earlier had stood up and was heading towards her. The man with the knife/ dagger was also heading to her.She tried to struggle and free herself, but it seemed futile. She was not having a tight foot hold to lift hersel

Raphael could swear that he had seen that face somewhere. He could not remember clearly, but it had got something to do with Ajax. He closed his eyes as he tried thinking hard with his heart hammering quickly in his chest. He knew Elena was coming upstairs and he could already envision the rage that would be on her face once she came in and found him in her room.The picture was a little bit bigger than the size of a passport photograph, so he swiftly put the picture in his pocket and with one last glance at the room, he hurried out, heading to the door.Immediately he got to the door, the knob turned on its own and the door was flung open and a surprised Elena was before him.“Oh my God!” She screamed falling backwards, away from him.Raphael quickly rushed her and placed his hands over her mouth. “Shh!” He hushed her as she screamed into his hands. “You are going to wake everybody up!” He whispered in her ears.With eyes wide open in horror she stop

She sat on him and tore his shirt aggressively.“Elena!” Raphael called screaming, as he shut his eyes tight and tried to get her off him but she was too strong.Elena who was on top of him, fell to side, getting off of him began to laugh hysterically.“It’s not funny!” Raphael screamed scurrying away from her.Elena glanced at his face and the fear and relief on his face made her laugh the more. She was only just playing with him and pretending to do the distractions he saw on the 18 plus movies he watched and he got scared along the way.“You need to wash that clown make over off your face.” Elena managed to voice out through her laughter, because it was making him look more hilarious and it was difficult containing her laughter.Elena sighed. “Come on. Let me help you. Sit.” She said pointing at the chair.She pulled open a drawer and brought out a packet of wipes.“What is that?” Raphael asked glaring at her as she approached him with it

HORROR. TRAUMATIZED
A weak smile graced his features as he walked through it.His eyes flipped open and he saw himself sprawled out across the floor with his hands still reaching out and holding Raphael by the chains.He felt pain in every muscle but slowly the pain began to subside. As it subsided, strength came in. When he was strong enough, he snapped the chains apart and they broke, freeing Raphael.Raphael looked at him with a mixture of worry, sadness and some thing along the lines of love. “Are you okay?” Raphael asked as he quickly freed himself from the chains and rushed up to Ajax.He cupped his face and wiped away something from his eyes.Ajax had no idea he was even tearing up. He lifted his hands to wipe his own tears. That was when he saw that he was crying tears.His eyes flickered to the reflection of himself in a mirror not so far away. He gasped as he saw the trail of blood that ran from his eyes, down to his cheeks. His ears too had the trail of blood. His nose and mouth were not left o

ANOTHER MORNING IN CHAINS
THE following morning, Ajax woke up to an empty bed. He opened his eyes and the clock hanging just in front of him showed that it was noon.“Okay.” He murmured. “I think something is definitely wrong. How does one sleep till twelve in the afternoon.” He could hear the sound of water rushing from a door situated on the left side of the wall. He figured that it was the bathroom and that Elena was probably having her bath.He tried sitting up and that was when he noticed that he was tied down. He frowned but then the frown was replaced with a knowing smile. “Elena.” He called. “Are you trying to molest me?”There was no reply. He chuc kled and threw his head back on the bed as he sat waiting for her to come.About three minutes had gone by.“Who pays the water bill for this place?” Ajax wondered out loud. “You use a really lot of water.”Five minutes had gone by by and he frowned. That was odd. Elena never took that long to bath. He listened carefully and that was when he heard it. The s

A STEAMY NIGHT
Raphael and Elena huddled around him quickly. “Oh my God.” The two off them chorused repeating his words.“What are you going to do?” Elena asked looking up at him.“I have no clue.” Ajax answered, his heart racing. The call ended.“Give me that.” Raphael said grabbing it from Ajax’s hands. He turned it off and placed it in his pocket. “There.” He said smiling. “Problem solved.”***Nicholas had been calling Ajax all day. His workers back at Grey’s labs had been able to created more strips following Ajax’s parents experiment and methods.They had brought wears for safety and protection in preparation for the battle/ fight.Nicholas also got tiny tracking devices to fix on any of the people so that they could track them back to their abode.***“The place is not bad.” Raphael said as soon as they got in. “Our place is better, but it’s better than the dorms in school.”Ajax could not agree more. It looked like Caroline’s apartment back when she was dating Nate.The sitting room. Two roo

Ajax’s eyes scrutinized him. Now that was a lie. A big fat one. He was definitely going to keep it for himself. Now he was slowly beginning to see what Caroline was seeing.“That way, we live without fear of anything in and around our city.” Gregory added.“I would go with you on the day of the mission. I am doing this not just because I want my freedom for mainly for my love for Elena.” Ajax stated firmly. His eyes glanced at Elena who was sitting and watching them. The love and willingness to fight filled his eyes. “We stick together right?”Elena could not help the smile creeping up her face. She nodded at him. “Yes we do.”“This would be weird though.” Raphael said scratching his head. “Fighting against the people I have always loved and adored, But I am in too.”Gregory chuckled. “First of all, I really admire your willingness to join us. I really appreciate, but I am sorry you would not have to do that.”“What?” Raphael said frowning. His friends; Elena and Ajax had the sam

MEETING WITH GREGORY
First it was the Ray of sunlight that hit his eyes. It woke him up, but he did not open his eyes. He laid there for a while. Suddenly, a shadow crossed, shielding the sun away from his eyes.He slowly opened his eyes and met Elena’s brown ones.“Hey.” Ajax mumbled in his groggy night voice.“Good afternoon.” She greeted with a smile.He frowned. “Afternoon?”That was when he saw the red lipstick on her lips and her eyelashes coated in mascara with a wing liner. His eyebrows knitted deeper. She was convered in make up. Was it really not morning?He tried getting up, but Elena was on him keeping him down.“Yas.” She said as she sat up, giving him his personal space. “You have been sleeping till almost three o’clock in the afternoon.” Elena pointed out.He sat up and grabbed his watch from the drawer close to their bed. His eyes grew wide. “What? How!” He exclaimed in disbelief.“You must have been really stressed out these couple days. Have you even been sleeping?” Elena asked as she cl

ATTACK IN THE QUARTERS
She could not see the person doing it. The person blended with the darkness. She hurried towards Raphael. “Are you okay?” She whispered as she helped him up. She pulled him behind her as she enhanced her eye sight so that she could see clearly in the night.She could make out three figures. Two men and a woman. They were hiding at strategic positions.Raphael’s heart was racing erratically as he stood behind Elena. He could see barely nothing in this darkness.He glanced at Ajax. Ajax who was still dressed in his white shirt and corporate pants was crouched.Suddenly, Ajax flung his hands in the air and a figure fell to the floor, landing a little distance from Raphael. Raphael gasped in surprise.Ajax was very alert. He had no idea who their attackers were. These were one of those times he was happy that his girlfriend also had a system. She was a strong girl and could fend off these people on her own, but he could not help but still worry for her.His eyes turned to check up on

IN THE QUARTERS
“Damn bro.” Raphael said smiling and patting Ajax’s back in pride. “You are one smart ass.”Ajax threw him a smile. “Of course I am.”The two continued walking. In the dark lonely street.It was late and people had gone to bed. There was not a single soul in sight. The two young boys had fallen silent that was when they felt the cold bite of the chill wind.“Uh.. so what are.. where are we going?” Raphael said rubbing his hands against his body to create heat.“I have no idea man. I am just walking.” Ajax said turning to Raphael.The two tried to hold a serious expression but failed and ended up laughing hysterically.“Hold up.” Ajax said stopping. “Let me try Elena. Maybe she would lead us to where she is.”***Elena had gotten to the quarters, her eyes red and face covered with dried tears. She had walked all the way to the place with a heavy heart and tears spilling down her eyes till there was no tears left to cry.How did she get here? How did her sweet relationship with Ajax

THE ULTIMATE CHOICE
Elena got to the stairs and stopped. She looked back at Ajax. He was not making even the slightest move to even chase after her. It broke her heart to say the least. Was he actually choosing Nicholas and Caroline over her? Her eyes flickered to Caroline who stood at a corner. She glanced at Raphael. He shook his head at her with his expression torn between worry, disappointment, sadness and betrayal.She turned to Ajax, he still stood with shock. She could see the little pool of tears gathering in his eyes.Her heart was breaking. Was he actually not coming after her. Her vision began to get blurred as the tears that was in her eyes threatened to fall.She spun around and ran up the stairs into her room and shut the door behind her. Her breathing ragged she took in deep breaths to calm herself.Slowly the reality of everything that just happened began to dawn on her. Ajax had just chosen Caroline and Nicolas over her.She had just lost him. She had lost Ajax. Her lips parted in d

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?
Ajax, Caroline and Raphael turned around and saw Elena standing and watching them with a frown.Tension and silence descended amidst them, making the atmosphere thick. “Oh hi.” Caroline greeted with a cheerful smile, her voice light as a squeak.Suddenly, she felt a flurry of wind hit her as she saw a blur of white and then Elena was tackled into a hug.She gasped at the sudden movement. Was that how much he missed her? She could not help but smile at the duo. No, she did not feel any atom of jealousy. She had fully gotten over Ajax that she could not see him in such light anymore.As for Ajax, all he did was listen to Caroline tell the story of Elena when he heard the soft voice he had been craving to hear for days now.The sight of her felt like he had been in a dark room for a really long and was finally let out to see the light.Although his girl had frown lines on her head with a scowl and eye bags that showed that she had not been sleeping and how stressed she had been, yet she
