Spring break has finally come to an end. Elena and Ajax with Raphael resumed classes as usual.

Elena had ended her internship with Grey’s labs, because apparently, it was not aiding neither was it improving her career as a medical doctor.

Raphael on his end escaped Nicholas’s wrath. He even rather got closer to Nicholas to his surprise.

***

“ I am really sorry Nicholas.” Raphael pleased as they exited Ajax’s parents labs. “It is never going to happen again. Please don’t make me lose my internship here, sir. I really do love it here and I can picture myself working here.”

Raphael was not feigning this part.

Granted, he lied and took the blame of Ajax. Now he had to suffer for it.

His heart raced because he feared that he would lose his internship. His palms were sweating and his eyes glistened a little with tears that just remained in his lids, not escaping.

He could already picture the three of them walking to Nicholas’s office and Nicholas issuing him a letter of termination. A lette

    “The story of Richmore?” Ajax asked. “Mr Jones story of Richmore?”“Exactly!” Raphael exclaimed. He grabbed the first book.

    “Someone is watching us.” Ajax whispered.“Huh?” Raphael mumbled. “I did not quite catch that. What did you say?”“I saw someone watching us with my side eyes. As I looked to see who the person was, the person quickly turned to the next street.” Ajax explained leaning forward in to the table, closer to Raphael to aid Raphael’s hearing.“Oh.” Raphael said nodding. “We should head back to Grey’s lab then?”“Sure.” Ajax agreed and the two of them stood up to leave.Since Raphael joined Ajax, the both of them were not bound to their break time. They could take breaks whenever they wanted as long as they were about to achieve a lot in a day.It was evening and the day was getting less bright. They had just stepped out of the restaurant and headed to Grey’s lab that was a few blocks away and on the opposite side of the road.Ajax began to feel the hairs on his neck and body stand erect. Something was not right. He could sense it.His eyes scanned the area as they walked. Raphael still had A

    “ That’s your mum?” Elena asked her lips parted in awe as a dreamy look crossed a face. “Aww, She is so freaking beautiful.”She stared at Ajax as her eyes misted. “I don’t know why I’m going emotional but she is so beautiful. You have her eyes.”Ajax smiled as he stared at his mom with a soft expression. “Yeah she is. So beautiful. And yes I do.”His gaze flickered to Nate and then the soft expression disappeared immediately and was replaced with a hard stare.“Why is this bastard with my parents?” Ajax gritted.Raphael was quiet the whole time, watching save scrutinizing the picture.“Guys. Look here.” His hands pointed to an object on the picture. “Does this look familiar?”Elena and Ajax eyes zoomed in to look at what he was pointing at.Their eyes widened in surprise and their necks snapped to the cabinet that Raphael hid at that day that Nicolas caught him.“That is the cabinet!” Ajax exclaimed.“The cabinet that had a slug that crept up my legs and made me scream, was here whe

    “Who are you?” Ajax asked as he stared at the person. It was difficult to make out his features. He referred to the stranger as a he because the stranger’s voice sounded masculine.“Aww. That hurts my feelings.” The stranger said in a pained voice. Ajax could imagine him pouting.Ajax activated his super night vision and his eyes zoomed in to focus on the person. The person did look somewhat familiar but he could not quite pinpoint where he met that person or where he had seen that face.“Ajax Rodney Ronald. The son of Leah Ronald and Rodney Ronald. You came around to work lot and train earlier than your usual.” The stranger said further while taking few steps, approaching Ajax.“Who the hell are you?” Ajax snapped taking a threatening step towards the guy. It somehow angered Ajax to know that he had no privacy. Could he not just live life as a normal college student without prying eyes. He had no privacy anymore. If it wasn’t Nicholas, it was Nate and now strangers he did not know t

    Nate laid still, his two eyes were shut.“Nate?” Ajax called again, panic seeping into his voice. His heart began to race as the thought of him killing Nate made him shiver.Nate eyes flew open, he winced and grunted as he attempted to stand up.“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.” Ajax rushed out. It took him a while to see that this was Nate of all people that he was apologizing to.As soon as he realized, Nate was already giving him a weird look.“Eww.” Nate mumbled with so much disgust. “Sorry? When we should be at each others throats as usual.”Ajax rolled his eyes but got to his feet regardless. He stretched his hands forward, giving Nate a hand.Nate ignored it and stood up on his own, wincing and grunting in pain as he stretched his back muscles.“Ask questions about systems. Those are the ones I have answers to.” Nate said out of the blues. It took Ajax a while for him to understand what Nate was saying.“Okay.” Ajax said as he made himself comfortable by sitting on the floor of dr

    “What!” Ajax asked surprised. He definitely did not see that one coming.“Yeah.” Nate said nodding. “That is PROJECT 11002.”Ajax was finding it hard to believe. If that was project 11002, so, that meant that Nicholas wanted him to finish the project. He wanted him to finish creating an artificial portal.“So,” Ajax started, carefully picking his words so he would not say something he was not supposed to say. “You and your team started the project 11002, but did not finish the project?”“Yes they did.” Nate answered.“Then how come the device is working?”Nate sighed deeply. “What do you know exactly about PROJECT 11002?”Ajax paused. “Um. The only thing I know about it was what I saw in one of the notes my mom took. It was just a recreation of the portal? Like an artificial portal?”Nate nodded. “Right, now, what do you know about the the system extractor device?”“It takes away systems.” Ajax answered. “Just like the portal.” Ajax added.“Exactly. But that is not all. PROJECT 11002

  • Billionaire leveling up   Compulsion

    It had been a rough and stressful week for Ajax. He was always busy. He rarely had time for himself and his education. He was always buried in system and work and now He had exams coming up in a few weeks. Apparently, every student in the college was supposed to be involved in an extra curricular activity. Ajax had not been involved in any since he started learning in Richmore college. He had to pick an extra curricular activity or her might not graduate and move to the next level. Raphael had suggested he tried out for the basket ball team considering that he was tall and built. Ajax could not believe those two words were used in conjunction for him. Tall? Yes he was. He had always been. But built? He was always a lanky fellow that hid his body size in sweatpants and hoodies, but now he was built. He wondered if it was a thing of the system, or if it was because of his training. “I am not sure I would be accepted bro.” Ajax had complained. “C’mon Ajax. Have you see

    The dude fell back in surprise and landed on his butt.“Aw. Sorry.” Ajax said with a pout, then his face grew serious. He grabbed him by his shoulder, repeating his former actions with the coach. “You and I played. I kicked your ass very well and you think I am very good at basket ball. And I would be the perfect person the team needs.”The guys eyebrows furrowed but then he inhaled sharply and blinked. He looked around having no idea how he got there. Ajax stretched his hands forward and dragged him up.“Nice play man!” The guy said. “Coach he is really good-” the guy was yelling when he sighted his coach on the floor. “Oh my God!” Ajax exclaimed. “Is he alright?”His opponent quickly rushed to the coach and checked his pulse. “He is still breathing. We should call 911.” Ajax nodded and turned around to get his phone. He was about leaving when the coach stirred up and woke up. And that was how Ajax got a place in the bas

    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

    RUBBING SHOULDERS WITH THE ENEMY

    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
