Achiel snatched his arm from Harold's rough grasp. Harold was very furious with him and almost hit him.

"What did you think you were doing? What the hell got over you?!" Harold yelled at him.

When Harold saw members of the other families walking out of the hall, he pretended to be calm. He bowed at some of the elderly ones.

Though the families didn't really like each other, yet there was usually the feigned and force exchange of respect amongst them.

When the family members were out of sight, Harold could take his rage out on Achiel again.

"Were you out of you goddamn mind? How dare you stand up and make a scene?" Harold was all over Achiel's face.

"Why are you so worked up, though? Or are you really scared of me?" Achiel teased.

This time, Harold got really furious.

"This crazy piece of shit." Harold swore, swinging his hand to hit Achiel across the face.

"Enough!" Madam called Harold.

Harold was fuming as he reluctantly hung his hand in the air. Achiel was patiently waitin

    Harold, Doris, Jones, and Achiel were all gathered on the rooftop of the small villa next to the White Mansion. There were different bottles of wine on the big table which separated them. They were all standing. "Why do we really to stand like this?" Doris complained. "We don't want to risk dozing off. It's only fair that we stand." Jones defended his suggestion. "Are we really going to stand throughout the night?" Harold complained. "You're more sissy than I ever imagined, Harold. At least for a while, pretend." Jones took a shot at Harold. "You have all started your masculine shit right?" Doris attacked Jones. Jones didn't respond to her. He scoffed instead muttering inaudibly. "Let's get to work, Harold." Jones called. For the next several minutes, there was peace and quiet as Harold got to work. The minutes graduated into hours, and Harold was still on it. Doris's knees were beginning to get weak. Jones seemed to be busy on his Macbook. Achiel, on the other hand, was look

    It was 8:20am. The four walked out of the White Mansion. Then suddenly they all stopped walking. Harold, Jones, and Doris gazed at Achiel. The three were staring at him in a weird way. "Where do you think you are going?" Harold was the first to attack Achiel. "You are not thinking of coming with us to Hoveland, are you?" Harold pushed again, sneering at Achiel. Achiel looked away from Harold to the other two. He could tell from the faces of the other two that they were in on this with Harold. The three seemed to be on the same page this time. "He wouldn't want to. I mean, he wouldn't want to embarrass himself." Doris scorned at Achiel. She had a wry smile on her face. "We don't have the time to waste on trivial things." Jones made his own input. Jones was the first to walk away, and the other two followed. Achiel watched them enter into the car and drove off. Grandmother had told them all to go to Hoveland, but only one of them could enter into the company and submit the propo

    For a second, Achiel forgot why he had barged into the living room. Madam was pointing at him with utmost rage coursing through her face. Her eyes were wild, and her jaws tightened. And what had she just yelled? "Why are you just standing there? I said, "Arrest this bastard!!!" Madam screamed so loudly she could make people go deaf. Achiel looked away from Madam to the people whom she had ordered. There were three police officers. Achiel didn't know what to think this time. He had barged in to yell about what Madam had done to him? But this? What is this about? Arrest him?!The there police officers ran to Achiel at once and seized him! While two held both of his arms in restrain, the other one put him in cuffs. "Mr Achiel Auroville, you are under arrest for theft and obstruction of business proceedings." One of the officers said. "Theft?" Achiel's head was about to explode from all of this. Suddenly, Madam stomped towards him. Achiel just watched, getting even more confused. W

    Jones was seated in the lobby, waiting, looking in a particular direction every now and then. He was in the Hoveland company, and he was one of the few people who were already present with their proposals to be submitted to Miss Zoe. Though himself, Harold and Doris had arrived ten minutes before 9.am, there were already five people ahead of them. It was almost 11 am. at the time that he got attended to. And ever since he had submitted the proposal, he had been waiting for a response. Suddenly his phone started to ring. He brought it out and answered the call. "Why are you calling me?" He was informal over the speaker. "I mean, we have been waiting here for a long time. Why is it taking so long?" Harold asked over the phone. Jones looked in the other direction through the door, but he couldn't see the car from inside the lobby; the car in which Harold and Doris were waiting for him. "Don't stress me, please. You can go home if you can't wait any longer." Jones dismissed. "I'm

    Within the space of a short time, several exotic cars were seen on the express road, which led to the Dotrug police station. People were wondering what the hell was happening. What could these exotic cars be doing in such a neighbourhood? The neighbourhood where the police station was situated was for average people. But these cars were beyond the average. Suddenly, the cars pulled over at the front of the police station. There was an especially different car. An X modelled Maybach. A couple of men jumped down from the exotic cars and ran to the Maybach to get the door. Out of the car stepped out Miss Zoe, elegantly dressed. But her aura and demeanour meant nothing much to her as she hurried into the police station. "That is Miss Zoe." Someone suddenly shouted. That shout, which was made by the strange person, suddenly created a tensed atmosphere as many people quickly rushed to confirm for themselves. There were even some of them that brought out their phones to film. Some of t

    Fear gripped everyone who was inside the station. Everyone who was present with them there was stunned speechless. This trash man who was thrown in the dirtiest cell is who? No one could have seen it coming even if they used the costliest microscope. The Sheriff felt a wave of shame hit from every corner. It was obviously too much for him to take. Seeing that the great Miss Zoe had fallen flat right in front of Achiel, he dared not remain standing. There was a flood of heads bowing to Achiel, but Achiel was not really amused by the homages paid. "Rise." Achel said finally.Zoe was the first to get up, but she couldn't look Achiel in the eyes. She was very scared of what had happened to Achiel. "Please forgive me, Young Master. I was out of my mind. I had no idea who you were. I didn't know what got over me." The Sheriff started to beg. Acheil looked slowly at the sheriff. The rest of the cops also joined the sheriff. "Have mercy on us, Young Master." They all chorused. Zoe sudd

    "Sit, Zoe." Achiel ordered. The both of them were left in the suites' living room. "Thank you, Young Master." Zoe settled down. "I'm sure you are yet to approve any contract." Achiel started. "I dare not, Young Master. I was worried about you. You asked me to call you when I was about to approve the first proposal. I did call, but the call didn't go through. I had to pend the first, second to the tenth, until I couldn't bear it anymore. And while I was thinking of what could have happened, your call came in." Zoe explained. "But then, what if I had been caught up with something else. Other than an ugly situation?" "I guess I wouldn't have felt the way I did earlier.""The way you felt earlier?" Achiel suddenly got interested in what she was saying. "It's nothing to worry Young Master about. It was natural for me to have a foul emotion whenever something was not right." Zoe wanted to dismiss it so bad. Achiel knew a couple of things about the Hoveland groups. They had gone thro

    ~ 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.

    "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.

    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
