Raphael had been stuffing his face with food since he got to Elena’s mothers baby shower. He acted like everything was fine, but he was not actually fine.Coming to Elena’s mothers baby shower brought back memories of when his mum was pregnant.No, they were not good memories. They were bad ones that he thought he had gotten over and healed from until now.It happened that when he was younger, his mum was pregnant and little Raphael was very happy that he was finally going to get a baby brother or sister to play with. He was a the only child at the time and was very lonely. He had No one to play with.His mum was usually engrossed in work but she tried her best to give him attention. Her best was never enough as he still felt lonely most times.Raphael had no idea who his dad was but him and his mum lived with one of his mom’s boyfriends.She was pregnant and he was happy for both her and himself.During the his mother’s baby shower, his mum had accidentally slipped in fright
Caroline’s master plan was to throw Ajax over the fence, then she would hop over it and then they would both zoom off with her super speed to a hidden place, but she never envisaged that he would be this heavy. The few times she had had to use the formula of life on her self for the abilities it gave, she had never really used it much. She only used it for strength, fast reflex and speed that it gave.That was why she was shocked when she saw her hands seal itself together at the backyard.Now, Caroline could run super fast with the system formula in her, but she found it extremely difficult trying to run super fast as well as carry Ajax with the system’s strength at the same time.It was weighing her down and she found herself running at a human pace.If per adventure any of Adam’s men went round the house, She would definitely be caught by Adam’s men so she had to be smart.She threw Ajax over the fence, back into the back yard then she jumped over too. She carried him back into
“How… wha… My daughter was taken because of you!” Elena mum yelled as she advanced towards Ajax, murder intent in her misty eyes. “And you were hiding here all these while!”Her husband held her back, stopping her from advancing towards Ajax.“Listen ma’am.” Raphael said as he placed his hands on her shoulders. “We would get your daughter back. Pretty soon. This was all a misunderstanding and… uh… somewhat a prank amongst some group of young adults from our college. Your daughter is fine. I assure you.” Raphael said trying to calm her.He did not wait for a response, he turned to Ajax and Caroline. “Come on. Let’s get goi….”He trailed off as he saw the death glare Ajax was sending Caroline. Just as he was about to take a step to attack Caroline, Raphael ran to stop him.“Ajax! Stop! Not here.” Raphael scolding holding Ajax back as he tried to push Raphael out to get to Caroline. “Ajax, If you respect Elena, you would take this outside and go back to our hou
Caroline was with Ajax and Raphael mapping out plans and creating strategies to get Elena back.“I can not take you to the quarters. That would be blowing my cover up!” Caroline argued when Ajax suggested that she took them to the quarters. “It is gonna look like I am on your side and not on the side of Gregory. Do you get?.”“But you told them that you were going to deceive us and pretend to be on our side.” Raphael argued. “How do you then pretend to be on our side when you can’t help us!” Raphael exclaimed.“Bringing us to their place would only make your spy game more believable.” Ajax added.“Exactly!” Raphael said raising his hands in victory. “See! He sees my point of view. To make it all the more convincing, you can inform them in time but not tell them our plans.”Caroline sighed. “Come on guys, it is not that simple. I-”The sound of her phone ringing loudly cut her off. She fished it out of her pocket and she was not surprised to see Adam’s name on her screen. It was onl
It has been six days since Elena was taken. Ajax and Raphael had not heard a single word from Caroline. They could not even reach her neither could they get hold of Elena. Ajax and Raphael were getting really worried. Especially Ajax. He was beginning to doubt Caroline all over again. “What if she lied and all they wanted was Elena and then she just used our head and we were so stupid to fall for her trap.” Ajax whined again to Raphael.Raphael grunted. “Ugh! Bro come on! She would not do that.”The both of them were walking. They had just alighted from an Uber and now they were both walking into Grey’s labs.Ajax was wearing a white shirt tucked into a pair of trousers with a shoe. Raphael wore similar outfit.Nicholas had given them some days off, but he called them in the previous night.“How are you so sure?” Ajax asked as he walked in after the door to slid open.“Because…..” Raphael trailed off. “I don’t know.” He said sighing, looking defeated. “Look mate, I just feel it in
Elena laughed at the memory. Those were few days ago but it felt like weeks ago. She had been hella busy for the past few days. She had been Helping Gregory and the rest of the people in the quarters that needed her help health wise. She had not even spent up to a week with them, and it felt like she had known them all her life.They were so affectionate and cordial with her and related with her like she was part of their family. Yes. They were a family. Her mind went back to how it started.***Elena was left alone in that room that day while she laid on the bed sleeping. When she had woken up she felt exhausted.She had wondered what Ajax and Raphael would have been doing. She wondered how that would be looking for her. She had laid in the bed defeated as she thought of how they would be fruitlessly trying to find her. She had known at that it would be so impossible to find her.She had not even told them the route to this place after she had got
Who?” Elena asked. Her heart started racing as she was beginning to fear that it was either Ajax or Raphael. She was not ready to see them. At least not yet. From what has been going on these past days, she knew she would not be able to face them.She heard Adam sigh and then say. “Come and see for yourself.”Then the line went dead.Elena’s heart beat rate piqued. She quickly pushed her chair back, drawing the attention of everyone because of the scraping sound the chair made and whispered a little sorry, throwing an apologetic glance at them then she hurried out.The walk to the infirmary was painfully slow as she took another trip down memory lane.***Caroline had suspected that Elena did not want to eat the breakfast that was on that table because it had already gone cold it or probably because she just did not like it.So Caroline went home, to her own place at the quarters to prepare one of the meals she knew Elena liked making at her huge house.Spaghetti and meat balls.Ele
Elena had arrived at the infirmary. She took in a deep breath to calm her nerves before pushing the doors open.She greeted the girl that stood at the receptionist stand.Elena began to walk the hallway. She was never one to get sick of the smell of hospitals, but now she was feeling sick.She could not decipher if it was her anxiety that caused the sudden nauseating feeling she was getting.She walked with light feet to the ICU(Intensive Care Unit). That was where Adam usually stayed to mostly supervise what was going on.As she suspected, Adam was there. Standing in the hallway in front of a ward that had a glass wall with which he could use to see through. Adam was dressed in his usual formal suit and a hanky stuffed neatly in his breast pocket, eyes looking into the ward, supervising what the workers were doing to the helpless victims in there.“You are late.” Adam mumbled dryly, not even sparing her a glance.Elena looked down chuckling nervous
