"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 news spread across Jade City like a wild fire, scorching every heart and leaving scars on all minds. The news about the son-in-law of the Auroville Mansion who was maltreated and thrown in prison. It all started with a big media station called Eagle Wings Room. This station was the most popular station in Jade City. This media only put out important news. Every influential folks loved to watch the station because of its up-to-date information and verified news. It has never released rumours or inaccurate information. This is exactly the main reason why the whole of Jade City had gone amuck because of the news. If it was spread by the Eagle Wings, it meant that it was the actual truth. Other media stations that were much smaller and those with average ratings released the news, too. In short, no media station didn't talk about this incident. Articles and posts started to flood the social media apps in Jade City. In the Auroville Mansion, Madam was seated in her usual seat. She

    The car pulled over at the front of the White Mansion. A door was pushed open, and Harold stepped out. He got the door for Madam. Marion and Hannah followed, too. They walked towards the door of the White Mansion. They were all standing at the front of the door. Madam had not spoken ever since she saw the news about Achiel. It was as though her larynx had been blocked. "Push the door open." Harold ordered Marion. Marion was fidgeting as his hand was shaking. "Little bastard." Harold cussed, shoving him out of the way. Harold pushed the door open and stepped into the hall. They were greeted by a million of eyes! Their jaws dropped when they saw the hall teeming with so many people. The hall was filled with the same people who came for the birthday party of grandmother. All the families of Auroville were present. The three families. "Why is everyone here?" Hannah muttered, her heart pounding heavily. Hannah had every reason to be scared. If this news about Achiel flourishes an

    There was a great wave of muttering that swept across the hall of the White Mansion. Everyone was stunned by the news that they had just watched on the big screen. They were only just celebrating the news of the proposal, which was approved. It hadn't even been an hour that things turned around so shockingly. Each family of the big Auroville family couldn't trust each other at that point in time. Everyone was suspicious of their neighbour. "Can someone tell me what the hell is happening?" Grandmother demanded. Grandmother was the most furious of everyone. She couldn't even imagine losing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When again would Auroville be able to get a contract with a big shot as Hoveland!!!Getting this contract took them almost a decade. She would do everything in her power to avoid any problem in her way. "AM I speaking to logs of wood? Are you all pretending to know nothing about what Miss Zoe has just said?" Grandmother was raising her voice this time. Grandm

    In no time, the rest of the families started to join in. "That's true. Cheating is a bad thing, but should you go to such an extent?" Doris's mother stood up. All eyes went to Doris's mother. The woman waved in the direction of everyone. "Look at what your rash judgement has almost caused us. Because you thought you were smart enough to be the head of the family, thereby disrespecting Grandmother, we are about to lose the contract which we have been dying to get." Doris's mother argued. At the end of the woman's speech, her tone changed as though she was emotional. This triggered the rest of the family who burst out into complaints. "That was not wise.""She should have brought the matter to grandmother.""We can't lose this contract."When Madam looked at her grandmother, grandmother didn't look pleased either. Madam slowly looked back at Doris's mother. The woman smirked at her. Madam turned back to grandmother. "I was wrong to keep this to me. But I did it in the position of

    The White Mansion Hall was filled with reporters who had come to have the coverage of the press meeting, which Auroville was about to start. Madam was settled in a special position where all flashes of cameras were aimed at her face. Some of the reporters were left outside because of the significant number. If they had all been allowed into the hall, the atmosphere would have become so stuffy that Grandmother may have difficulty breathing. "We will have you now, Mrs Marie Auroville." One of the reporters called at her. Madam sat up, leaning forward to one of the numerous mics that were right before her. "There has been a rumour spreading since the last few hours today." Madam started. "A news about the family of Auroville. I will take this opportunity to make it clear that the Auroville family, like every other large caste, has several families coming together. But there's usually a unified body who collectively represents the whole family." She took a pause. "In essence. A big

    Everyone was curious. Especially the reporters. Most of the families already knew about the money. They could also take guesses about the Visa Passport. But the red coin?Grandmother leaned back into her seat as though she had a change of mind. It was not quite certain why she changed her reaction all of a sudden. "This is a sum of two million dollars. It was stolen from me by this Saint Achiel that everyone is looking so determined to save." Madam resumed. "I'm sure that you will all be able to take a guess what this Visa Passport stands for. Apparently, he was stealing from me so that he could fly away from Jade City to another city where he could start a new life. After hurting me and my family," Madam took a pause. Madam looked towards the female reporter who had always been attacking her."Now I ask. Who should be saved from whom? Should Achiel be saved from me, or should my family be saved from him? From a thief and an ungrateful lad who had always leeched off us all his life

    The shock and awe that paced the hall were unprecedented. People couldn't just wrap their head around this. Miss Zoe? In White Mansion? How? Why? For what reason?Miss Zoe was not seen at gatherings, not even formal gatherings. Most of the parties held by influential figures in Jade City where she was invited to, she turned them down. Most of the meet and greet that were held in Jade City were mostly turned down by her. She was as scarce as a black mane lion. But this woman has just randomly walked into the White Hall? Why on earth?!Though the fact was that Miss Zoe had announced that Auroville was becoming a concern to Hoveland, yet it wasn't even worth her presence. Naturally, Miss Zoe should be dismissive of any company that causes Hoveland any sort of problem. That meant that there was a chance to try out other companies! She shouldn't even call them, let alone come to see them in person. Hoveland was the one doing them a favor!!!Even Grandma was having a share of her own port

    It was such a huge hassle to leave the hall. Jones's father was having a hard time finding his way out. The reporters were too many. They were all trooping after Miss Zoe to hear one or two things from her. But the men who had escorted Miss Zoe shooed them away, holding them back. While the escorts were doing their best holding the reporters back, Jones's father had been able to squeeze his way in and hurried to catch up with Miss Zoe before she could get into the car. Three men dressed in blank stood in his way. He couldn't get any closer. He smiled from distance at Miss Zoe. "Excuse me, please, can I have one moment of your time?" Jones's father asked. Miss Zoe's checked her wristwatch and then sighed. "Speak from there." She said to him. "My name is Marcus, I'm the eldest son of the Auroville family. My son, Jones, was the one who submitted the proposal to your office." He said so restlessly. Miss Zoe didn't make a precise reaction. She just kept staring at him. He didn't sa

    ~ 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
