Mira was still trying to ignore his smell. It was very hard to ignore. He smelled so fucking good. She had never met a man who had that great choice of cologne. If she didn't have self-control, at that moment, she should be all over him. All her life, Mira had always been a subject of ridicule. She had never had a man look at her with admiration, let alone walk up to her. This man who was standing before her, with sparkling white teeth, definitely had an affection for her. She could tell that much. She wasn't dumb. Because of her past, she allowed herself to be carried away by how beautiful it was to be approached by such a strong and handsome male figure. "Mira." She smiled back at him and took his hand. Wolowitz took her hand warmly in his soft palm and squeezed softly. As though he had some other motive behind the gesture. Perhaps he does. He stared at the back of her hand for a while as though he was a scientist trying to do a sort of experiment. "How can someone's hand be
Achiel stepped out of the building after walking out of the elevator. He was less interested in the activities happening around him. He was much more invested in whatever was going on in his head. When he hurried out, he looked around the parking spots, which surrounded the large and beautiful building. There were cars parked everywhere. Super expensive cars that ranged from GTR to Maybach. There was no way telling an odd event from those cars, and he knew that too well. But from his reactions, it was quite obvious that he wasn't ready to give up so easily. His mind was bothered by what Henry had just told him; the lady had been spying on him? How dare she? Who the hell does she think she is?He hated the idea of someone watching him from a close range. There was a sense of his that loathed that action so powerfully. Whenever the thought crossed his mind, he would grit his teeth as though he would crush the mandible into pebbles. When he realised that looking around the garages w
It was only instinctive for Achiel to pick a race, too. A strange lady whom he had never seen in his entire life smiled weirdly at him, then made a run for it? The first thing to think was, why the hell was she running?The boy had claimed that the lady gave him the metal ball. Why would she do that? Achiel could tell at once that the lady was not the boy's mother. She might not even be related to him, no matter how little. Achiel was infuriate that she would take advantage of such a cute little pie? How dare she?!!!This increased the pace of Achiel, and he charged up. While he kept running after her, a sudden realisation dawned on him at once. "Oh shit." He cussed when the thought zoomed past his mind, his eyes widening. COULD SHE BE? COULD SHE BE THE GREAT LADY?The thought of that almost made him go crazy. After all, Henry had just told him that the great lady had been keeping a close watch on him. As though he was some lad who should be proven worthy of some pact. If she was
Henry barged into the police station and hurried straight to the office of the sheriff in charge. There were two officers standing at the door of the office of the Sheriff."You can't go in, sir. What do you want?" One of the officers stepped forward when he saw Henry walking briskly towards the Sheriff's office. Henry didn't for a millisecond think his step twice. He threw one of his hands forward and shoved the officer to the side. Though it was a gentle push that he gave the officer, the officer went flying into the corner of the space. "What!" The other officer exclaimed, finding it quite hard to believe what he had just seen. "I'm sorry, sir, but you can't just barge into the office of the -" The officer was still struggling to put the words out when he felt a force push him through the door, breaking the wooden door of the Sheriff's office open!!!The officer who was outside was slowly getting back on his feet. He saw what had happened to his colleagues. He put one of his han
Achiel was settled in his seat on the plane, which was about to take off. His mind was occupied. There were a lot of things to be worried about. Earlier, he had agreed that he wouldn't have anything to with the Ouclux empire until he had finally gotten rid of the pests in the Auroville family. But at this moment, after the encounter with the weird lady, and then the way he was treated in Golden Road, by the Commissioner and everyone he met, he just couldn't ignore the importance of his identity anymore. The more he tried to avoid and ignore it, the more exposure about it he got. Earlier, he was scared that his identity might be too much for him to handle, but at this moment, he was curious to know what the essence of his identity was. At last, he was prepared and ready to meet this lady! The Great Lady or whatever her name was. Henry had made sure to stress to him that all his questions would be answered by this lady. Achiel was not oblivious to the fact that Henry had told him t
Mr Henry walked into the VVIP section of the plane. When the blonde saw him, her eyes widened, and her jaws dropped. She looked smitten to the bones by awe. It was a fact that she had heard about the fact that Mr Henry had booked a flight on this plane, but she didn't think it was ever true! How could it ever be true? Mr Henry belonged to the most powerful family in Jade City! The Ouclux empire owned a lot of private jets. Why then would he want to ride on a public plane? Whether first-class, VVIP, or whatnot!!! If Mr Henry so wanted, he could make all the airlines in Jade City stop working all at once in the blink of an eye. Though she didn't expect it to be true, yet she had decided to come. It was out of frustration of realising that she might be hopeful for no reason, that made her take out her rage on Achiel. But now that she could see Mr Henry walking towards her, her legs were shaky, and her whole body quaking. The strength and demeanor that made a hue around her were nowh
Achiel stopped at the front of the gate and looked at his wristwatch. It was already 6 pm. An hour has already passed, and he was yet to get started on his quest. Though the cold hands of the dusk were approaching, yet he was determined not to give up this task. He had stopped in front of the large and heavy gate because he didn't have the key to open the gate. He was trying to imagine how he was going to get through the gate. But he knew that deep down he wouldn't call Henry to assist him! He had warned Henry to get him an economy class plane ticket, but the fool had gone ahead to do the exact opposite. If he had gone through the economy class, one, he wouldn't have been verbally harassed by the blonde. Also, he would already be an hour into the task instead of just getting to start. He was still mad at Henry and didn't for once regret slapping the flap out of the fool's cap. Achiel's phone started to ring at that moment. Of course, he knew that he wasn't in the mood to answer a
Achiel didn't know what to say to Mira. Actually, the truth was that he wasn't thinking of saying anything to her. He found himself getting distracted by what would happen after the meeting. Naturally, he should be worried about how the meeting was going to go since it would be centered on Mira. His curiosity and anxiousness to meet the great lady couldn't help him to concentrate. While trying not to delve deeply into these thoughts, he noticed something that was quite strange. There was a strange man who was seated with Felix. This man was staring in his direction. He had noticed the man in the first place but decided to ignore it. But now, the man kept looking in his direction. Earlier, the man would take a glance and look away. But this time, the glance had turned into a gawk. Achiel didn't know this man. He didn't think that he had ever seen him in the family meeting ever. But then, realising that there was no way that he was supposed to know everyone who belonged to the fam
~ THE THIRD DIMENSION ~A stream of golden light was descending from the sky at an insane speed. Its velocity was beyond the speed of the lightning. It was traveling in a wave and twirl. It kept going and going. When it zoomed past a mist of cloud, the details of the stream of light broadened. Earlier, it appeared as a golden stream of light, but now there seemed to be a hint of blue overshadowing the light. The blueness was like a hue around the golden light. Although the hue was not harsh yet, it was never to be overlooked. Suddenly, the stream of golden light collided with the peak of a bamboo tree. When the collison was made, a blinding light traveled from that place to the end of the whole forest. It was as though the whole place was enveloped in a white brilliance. After a short while, the light died out. When the light died out, there was a lanky and tall man seen standing on the tip of the peak of the bamboo tree. It was as thought hebhwd grown out of thin air. The body
The towering God of Cosmos stood tall and mightily behind Achiel. Mira still couldn't find the appropriate way to react to it. At first, she thought that he had disappeared with Achiel, but they were still there. Her eyes must be blurring out following the great shock. Suddenly, she noticed the God of Cosmos moving his hands here and there around the room. Mira's eyes followed the directions of his hands that went to and fro. In each direction that he waved his hand, a portal appeared. He waved his hands in five places, and five portals appeared. There was a portal that had been cackling all along. It was through that portal that Achiel wanted to take Mira to the kingdom. "Choose one." The God of Cosmos said out of the blue. "Huh?" Mira was startled by the instruction. She thought that the God of Cosmos had referred to her. When she lifted her gaze slowly to take a quick peek at the immortal being, she realised that she got it all wrong. He wasn't talking to her. He was talkin
"I can't believe that it really worked as you said." Mira added, awed by the scene that was unfolding on the screen of the phone. "But for how long will he function? I mean, how long would it take for the clone to disappear?" Mira asked. Her tone and voice showed how genuinely concerned and interested she was. She seemed to be clueless yet was fighting for all the intention there was to know. "You didn't have to ask the same question twice. Either way, I'll answer you." Achiel corrected, smiling at her. She should return the smile, but her busy mind wouldn't give her a break from the tumbling thoughts. "For as long as we want." Achiel answered. Mira's brows furrowed when he said those words. The confusion was scribbled on her face. It was way too glaring to be hidden. "We?" Mira finally asked the important question. Achiel sighed as he looked away from the screen of the phone. "I know that all these are strange to you, but you need to grow on the fact. It's something that you
Outside the Shangri-la tower, there was a scary type of quietness. The level of quietness was really something that could never have been envisaged by anyone. The reason was that there were lots and lots of people who stretched from those premises of the Shangri-la to several kilometers away in a long, broad, and single file. For all these numerous people that have different tastes and have subscribed to different notions and beliefs, to be this quiet, it was something that could never be overlooked. The quietness didn't come of its own accord. Instead, everyone was staring seriously at his phone. Those who were not staring at their phones were looking at the large billboard that was etched into a corner of the tower. Everyone was staring keenly at the screen that was accessible to them respectfully. But what was happening on the screens of all the phones and the billboard were the same thing. Everyone gasped at the same time. On the billboard, there was a lanky man who looked
Klaus's question attracted a lot of reactions. His words were weighty, and not one person was willing to look to the other side. "Klaus!" Zoe suddenly called at him. Klaus took a glance at her. When he saw her, he looked a little tipped off. For a sheer second, he had forgotten that Zoe was here. In the grand scheme of events at this moment, Zoe was the least important person around when it came to status and class. It was already a wonder that she was present here. Perhaps if she didn't have a feather, she wouldn't be here either. Even Klaus has his. "Don't be offended by my choice of word." Klaus plucked his gaze from her and turned to the whirring camera first before paying attention to the people present. "Pay close attention while I explain this. After this, the couple would be invited in to be celebrated and tied." Klaus's composure had tuned."Although it would totally be an honor to do this even though we are not worthy." Klaus's tone suddenly changed. Something strange
On the floating peak of Shangri-la, there were numerous people settled down on high-end chairs made out of the purest red gold ever refined. The skin of real-life wild cats that were hand woven were sewn about the chairs, serving as resting pads and the main places where the bum would rest. There were several men of dignity positioned in thoughtful patterns across the space. The sight was so beautiful and opulent. Each of the dignitaries present at that place had a red feather at the top of their hats; each person had a hat on. irrespective of whatever you are wearing, there was a hat to match, and on top of each person's hat was a red feather. The invite!The red feather was the pass for each of the persons that was present on the Peak. The feather looked very rare. It looked to have been plucked from the wings of a Phoenix or several Phoenix.Although the color was red, yet there was this subtle highlight of yellow that made it seem as though it was multicolored. But the truth w
About 19km away from the Shangri-la Peak, there was a flood of heads. An ocean of bodies standing in the way, making shuffles at occasional periods. The ginormous number of people stretched from that position up to the front of Shangri-la Peak. It was as though the world was about to end, and everyone had come out of their houses. It was even scarier than that. The whole city had come to a standstill because of the crazy number of people occupying all the roads and places.Voices, echoes, and screams were flying around. But one thing each of the people on the street shared was the urge to move forward."Has the wedding started?" A random person asked. "I'm not sure. The Peak is not floating yet. As soon as it starts floating, I'm sure that'd be a sign?"Two strangers were explaining to others who were surrounding them. "Get out of my way!" A lad sent a flying punch into the face of the last person to speak.Before the victim could react, the lad had run forward, pushing his way t
"It's you. It's really you." Laura repeated the words in an attempt to be emphatic. She had done it also to convince herself that she was in her right mind and was not seeing things. Achiel remained where he was standing as though he could not move. "How... How did you find me?" That was the tenth time that she had asked that same question. When she had received a message from godofcos claiming that he was outside her house. She had come running outside. Getting to the door of her apartment, she had seen Achiel standing there. The man from the store!!!She had been trying to engage him in a conversation, but the man had been staring at her all along. Standing there like a statue. But then suddenly, he replied her abruptly. Ever since then, he had gone mute again. She was really confused and didn't know what to make of this situation that she had earned herself. Achiel was trying to make things less weird between the both of them. If he went fully into talking to her, she might
Achiel was still standing where he was, staring at his phone. But the noise coming from distance was getting louder, and he couldn't ignore it any longer. He looked away from the phone, from the chat scene, in the direction of the noise. The group of high school students were still there. He wasn't ready to be concerned with who they were. Instead, what they were doing was something that he couldn't ignore. There was a lad who had been forced to be on his knees, while a group of bigger boys hit him repeatedly. Achiel had seen this at first but brushed it off because he was trying to gift Lauretta. Although, earlier, things were not alarming amongst the group compared to now. He started to walk towards the scene. In a matter of time, he was already close to the group. "Are you still going to keep talking?" One of the three big boys said to the victim, hitting him on the back of his head. "You will report to the principal again, won't you?" Another guy slapped the victim across t
