With heads in the sky, Madam and her children walked into the hall. The hall was yet to recover from the shock. The people could not shut the gate of his lips. It was as though they were being simulated in a sort of magical world. They all knew why Madam was kicked out of the family. It was because of one of the grave sins any mortal could commit to their mother;Madam had cursed Grandmother! Everyone in the hall knew it. They were there on that very day! If that is the truth, then what the hell is happening?!The people could not begin to imagine what this could possibly be hinting at. Could it be that Grandmother is eating her own words?!They have always known the old woman to respect her words. That was why whenever she was about to speak, everyone would be mute. It was not only out of reverence, but because of how much she revered her own words. Then what is this?Madam and her children walked to the open space that was directly opposite the old woman. They all bowed to her,"M
Everyone kept wondering as they stared at the man who had just asked the question. It was the same person who had yelled in a loud and thunderous voice, getting everybody's attention in the process. "Is this really Mr Pascal?" Someone muttered, scared of being heard by Pascal. Pascal stood his ground. His facial expression matched the loud cry he had just made. "Whatever Achiel did to him surely had a side effect. There's nothing else no one can tell me." Someone argued with themself. "What have you come to do, Marie? Speak now! Your service is no longer needed in this family!" Pascal continued, looking quite mean and scary. "Who are you to tell me that! Who makes you the leader of this family?! So what if you are the eldest of us all! What makes you think that you can raise your voice whenever you feel the impulse?!" Madam argued, matching the same energy. "You are asking me questions, aren't you?" Pascal's reaction was rather dismissive than it should appear. "Yes! Answer me,
As soon as the screen came on, several people were seeing running around. They were masses, moving in group as they raced in a uniform direction. The intentions of their actions were not known to the people in the hall yet. All they could tell and see were people running frantically. But one thing that was quite obvious was the fact that none of the people was being chased. Instead, it seemed as though they were headed in a particular direction to check something out. "What the hell is happening?" Someone's impatience got the best of them as they demanded. "Why are they all running like crazy dogs?!""What did you see on social media?" Someone called the lad who had made them switch on the screen. "Keep watching. You'll see for yourselves!!!" The lad defended, looking even more absorbed by the scene than any other person in the hall. All attention went back to the screen. Suddenly, the camera that followed the running crowd picked a sudden pace and went ahead of the people. Th
"Yes!!! That's it!!!" Jones exclaimed with joy as he punched the air with excitement. He looked so happy that his fear didn't come to pass. He had been going through several emotions since he heard the prince speak. He wasn't even worthy to lose the shoe lace of the Prince's shoe, let alone stand in front of him! So, thinking that these powerful young men would come all the way from thousands of miles to come and honor Achiel?!!Over his dead body! Over Jones's dead body. Jones would wish that a trailer would run over him than for that to happen. His hatred for Achiel ranked higher than the best music album that was ever released. "I was saying the same thing! What the hell! How could Achiel pull such a stunt! I thought I must have gone mad for a second." Felix added, looking very relieved too. "Over my dead body would such a thing happen! Achiel? The princes of Saudi Arabia?! I can't even begin to imagine... what on earth would bring such a comparison?" Laura sounded very irrita
"Are you going to keep avoiding me?" Achiel complained, closing the pace between himself and the lady who was standing a couple of feet away from him. When he got to her, he stopped right behind her. He moved his hands, pushing his arms around her waist to hold her firmly. But she untied the bond and shoved his hands to the side. Achiel did not pick an offense. There was no reason to do so. He was in the wrong, and he knew too well to boss around in such a situation. He had learned a lot this past month. Mira had her arms folded over her breasts, the brown short gown revealing a great deal of her beautiful thighs. Achiel was tempted to scoop her into his arms and hit her on at least three rounds of hot sex. But he was even yet to get her to listen to him, let alone initiate such a conversation. There was a way that he could get her to do his will. He has control over her. He has control over everyone or anyone that he wishes to control. But he wouldn't want to control the person
The three princes walked into a large building. It wasn't any kind of building. It was a large mall where several events were going on. It was a very busy place that had several places of interest. These places of interest ranged from high-end shopping stores to arcade gaming sections, VR kind of game exposure, Massage Haven, Casino, a small automobile place, a cinema, and a very fluffy corner where the hottest girls in Jade City stay. The three brothers were standing at the foot of an escalator. There were people coming and going in large numbers. It was a very large place where no one would be cared much for. Even if the president was there, if he didn't appear with his entourage, he might go unnoticed by these floods of people who always looked to be in a hurry. On the contrary, the three brothers were dressed in disguise. One of them wore a black hoodie and a pair of joggers with sneakers to match. Another wore a plain shirt with a baggy trouser, with big black shoes to compl
"Achiel?" Fatahu couldn't hide his confusion as he stared keenly at the strange man standing in front of him. He had heard that name somewhere. That name sounded very familiar. But he couldn't see the face of this man clearly. Like himself and the rest of the people in the hall, this strange man was also wearing a face mask. "You sound surprised hearing my name." Achiel demanded, interested in what was going through Fatahu's mind at that moment. "Hold on a minute. You said your name is Achiel. What's your surname?" Fatahu demanded with much passion and interest now. "I don't think I can tell you that. Let's just stop at Achiel." Achiel seemed to be amusing himself with the situation. Fatahu was silent for a couple of seconds. It was quite obvious that whatever he was thinking about would definitely affect the situation he had just found himself in. "By any means, you aren't the Achiel that Manager Zoe was talking about in the press meeting about two hours ago?" Fatahu kept press
"Huh?" The three princes chorused. None of them could make a meaning of what he had just said. "What is he talking about?" Anwar couldn't let himself be smitten to pebbles by confusion anymore."Did he hit his head? What is he mumbling?" Farooq was starting to feel irritated by the fact that he didn't understand what was happening, and no one was willing to explain the situation to him. Fatahu suddenly burst out laughing. Anwar and Farooq turned to him. They were rather taken aback by the random change in Fatahu's mood. "You read my face? What are you? A sort of mind reader or what?!" Fatahu tried to stop laughing as he interrogated Achiel. Achiel didn't answer him. Instead, he kept studying the eyes of Fatahu. At this point, he could see through the mask of Fatahu. He could see the bare face of Fatahu. It was as though Achiel was looking through a mirror,Fatahu's cheeks looked supple and somewhat bloated, compared to the tough jaws of the other two. Achiel was getting distracte
~ 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
