What did you do Nathaniel?” Ajax spat. He spat it with so much disgust as though it was a bitter thing in his mouth. Nate stiffened and was visibly shocked by the way Ajax addressed him. “Don’t. Ever. Call. Me. That. Again.” He said taking a threatening step to Ajax at each word.“Oh please. What are you going to do?” Ajax asked rolling his eyes. “Fall unconscious when I throw a punch in your face?” A smirk graced Ajax’s face as he watched Nate’s face morph into a scowl.“Now if you would excuse me, I got to go back to my girl and my bro.” Ajax said turning around. “My girl.” He repeated, placing more emphasis on the word ‘MY.’“In whatever you do, do not trust Nicholas.” Nate called out to him.Ajax stopped but did not turn around.“I know you are beginning to have your own doubts about trusting him, so this is me confirming them. Do not trust him.” Nate said further.Nate’s voice had a tone in it that made Ajax feel like he was saying the truth.Ajax turned to face him. “You know
“He what!” Elena exclaimed.“Yeah.” Ajax said and went to his bed and sat down.“You are not considering going. Are you?”Ajax’s silence gave her the answer.“Oh Christ!” She sighed exasperated. “You really are going!”“Calm down.” Ajax muttered. “It is going to be fine. I just need answers.”“Answers? You already got the lab to yourself! Why do you need to see that psychotic bastard?” She paused and stared at him pointedly. “Except there is something you are not telling us.”Ajax rolled his eyes. “I’m not hiding any thing from you. Oh come on.” Ajax sighed heavily. “Fine. I am not going to see him.”Raphael was just sitting at his corner watching the two of them banter.“Well…..” Raphael cut in, interrupting their banter. “You have to tell Nicholas that the lab is not just limited to you. If you go in, Team REA goes with you.”“Yeah.” Elena said siding him.Ajax ran his hands through his hair in exasperation for the umpteenth time. He was sure his mop hair had gotten more moppier if
“We probably might not be chosen to be part of the ball you know.” Raphael mumbled to himself but Ajax heard him.“We heard that!” Ajax responded. “I do hope we do not get accepted because I just want go to my dorm and probably stop by my house back at my home town and rest.” Ajax said, waiting to hear Elena’s spiteful reply.“Why are you quiet?” Ajax called out. He was straightening out the next suit he had just worn. “Okay fine. I hope we do get accepted.” He rolled his eyes.He pushed the door open to show Elena the suit but was surprised when he met an empty seat.“Of course she would ditch us.” He mumbled to himself. The sound of Raphael’s door opening made him turn around.Raphael was wearing a black tux with a white shirt. The tux had a black bow tie which was tied up neatly. His jacket fit perfectly on his body. The color and the quality of the material used was looking exotic and exquisite. He looked really handsome.He looked so fine that Ajax couldn't help but stare for a m
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
