He knew that despite how silent this man was, whatever would eventually come out of his mouth would be something dreadful. He never underestimated Elder Tom and his sunken cheeks. He was definitely up to no good.

Elio sat down with his mind wandering around and his eyes darting from place to place, oblivious of whatever was happening there.

"Sofia is under my control. The events that transpired between her and Desmond were just a snippet of my plan. The separation and distance are just another opportunity for me to strike. And it'd keep going as planned before the Mabon".

Benny nodded in agreement with what the Witch said. It was harder for her to torment Sofia because she no longer worked in the school but now, the Queen mother drafted a good plan and already put it into action. Nothing sounds better than what she just heard.

Benny was filled with smiles, not only was Sofia going to be tortured once more, but the Mabon Sabbat was also drawing near. Everything was falling into place

    Once a Sabbat for a month starts drawing near, all Witches would take note. All Wiccans are Witches but not all Witches are Wiccans. Some Witches loved to be their king without following a set of rules, while some highly appreciated it if there was unity among Witches and a central authority guiding them.A good idea and a good foundation of Witches were laid when the Wicca was formed but not all Witches joined it about half of these Witches worked in line with certain rules of the Wicca especially their Sabbats for the eight months of the year.They obey and celebrate these Sabbats for eight months and it kind of creates happiness amongst them, that was why every Witch looked up to it.Gabriel had special plans for the upcoming Sabbat but then he seemed to be distracted by one thing. Every other thing was in control as Dennis termed it, but their boss's unusual behavior of pacing around was what they couldn't decipher.Why would he restlessly walk around by this time of the morning?

    Chapter 41: Are you a WitchElliot wished that the ground could open up and swallow him. What was she trying to do? Publicly making him deny what he is or what?"Please what did you say?", He pretended as though he didn't hear her."Are you Witch? That was my question", Aquila repeated herself with a smirk on her face."Ugh, how can you say that", Elliot was at a loss for words."Haha, I was just kidding" Aquila laughed over it and gently placed the bill on the table, and walked out of the restaurant.Elliot sat down in the kitchen, feeling extremely uncomfortable. The reason why she suddenly asked that question was still confusing him.Was that why she asked him to dine with her? That was something he never saw coming, the question was weird and unexpected. Could it be that she went around asking people if they were Witches?"No that's not possible". Elliot shoved that thought away from his mind. She couldn't ask just anyone that type of question. *Mile 10 Enugu*Desm

    "Tissue, please! What's wrong with your WC, I'm finding it difficult to flush", Desmond screamed from the bathroom leaving Sofia at a loss for words."Press the button, press it harder, and it'd work. It gets faulty at times. Here's your tissue", Sofia suppressed her laughter as she handed the tissue to Desmond's awaiting hands. "It's not working. Please come and help me with it".Sofia choked on the water she was drinking and she didn't know if she should laugh or cry. 'What do I do with you?'"It's not much. Just a few pieces, you can close your eyes and press it please", Desmond politely begged her as though it were a minor thing.Sofia roared with laughter, "Are you high or something, just press it one more time, it'd work."After some time, Desmond was mute, thereby making Sofia feel uneasy, "Are you okay? Boo bear?"Desmond came out at once looking very exhausted. "It must have been hard to push it out, right?", Sofia chuckled."To push what out? I don't get?", Desmond asked in

    Sofia quietly sat down on the sofa as Aquila handed her a cup of coffee with her eyes fixated on her.She had a blank expression on her face and one couldn't tell what was going through her mind, but one thing was certain, she was void of happiness and joy."Why were you walking on the streets looking so depressed? What happened?", Aquila carefully questioned her, pretending as though she had no idea of what had happened.Sofia gawked at her for some time before she tore her gaze and faced another direction, purposely ignoring her question. She was unsure of what to say and Aquila was still a stranger to her.Divulging something like this to her would only make her doubt herself. Her friends were the only ones who understood everything she had faced since she relocated.She would rather keep shut than risk being called mad by this foreigner. Sensing that Sofia wasn't going to easily reveal things to her, she walked towards Sofia and patted her severally, "You can trust me you know?"S

    Elliot couldn't believe his ears. 'Was the boss drunk or what?'"Boss, what just happened?" He repeated his question but the answers were happening right in front of him...Mrs. Thompson was sacked and ripped off her position just like that. This was the best news ever. 'The bossy Mrs. Thompson who wanted nothing but to become the Manager was sacked out of the blue? no, she didn't see this coming 'The employees gossipped among themselves in a close-door meeting they were having with the manager."Uhm, what should I call you now, Aquila or CEO?" Sofia was still trying to digest what just happened."Anyone would suffice""Thank you so much, ma'am, I appreciate your efforts and help. May God bless you" "Blessings would come surely.""Boss where and when did this order get to you?" Angela threw a question at him, hoping he'd satisfy her curiosity, which he obliged to. "A few hours ago and from the CEO"."Who is the CEO? Aren't you the owner?" Becca probed further"The CEO is a foreigner

    "Haha. I feel your pain bro, but you don't stand a chance you know?" Aldo roared in laughter as Dennis's reaction changed. He only wanted to lift the mood but then he turned out to be an object of mockery and scorn."I don't stand a chance? Really? I don't stand a chance says someone who finds it hard to say hi to a girl" Dennis retorted with a smirk on his face. Bantering with Leo would be too risky for him because the latter would poke things where they hurt the most. 'Giving Aldo a taste of his own medicine wouldn't be bad right?'"Uhm bro, please don't be like that." Aldo politely pleaded with him to drop his topic but at this point, Dennis wasn't having any of it.He knew for sure that Dennis would retaliate and it might be way more disastrous than his."Leo, Aldo went on his knees begging a girl to give him her contact and this lady sighed and walked out. Do you know what he did next?" "No. What did he do" Leo listened with rapt attention as a wicked smile filled his face? Wh

    "Start the interview immediately" Desmond ordered."But sir""No buts, get the interview sheet and hand it over to all of them. They should fill the form and answer the questions right now!" Desmond commanded authoritatively giving Mr. Emmanuel no room to object.Mr. Emmanuel had been a PR manager for years but never had he seen or heard of such a massive turn up of possible employees. A few hours ago, the company was empty and reeked of silence but right now, it was bustling.Who would have thought that something like this was going to happen? It was a miracle, an enormous one at that.*At the coven behind the wardrobe*Gabriel had been indoors for days as he prepared greatly for the ritual.

What a very lame joke!" Gabriel snorted as he headed to complete what he was doing before the joker (Elio) distracted him.Swiftly, he gulped the potion in the glass and shattered the glass with a light squeeze as his power increased. He could feel a surge of supernatural strength all over him.The shards were like stones to him as they neither pierced nor cut him. Going to save Rita was risky.

    She took a closer look at the woman and then, ran some inches away from her after seeing how dark he eyes were. Everyone was indeed scary and they all creeped her out. The white-haired woman waved her hands and the exceptionally beautiful woman came back to herself and more frightening women stopped resurfacing."Child, let's go in" Sofia was a bit skeptical but she knew she could trust this elderly woman. She got to the sitting room and immediately felt dizzy as everything looked strange and weird. She saw a picture of a beautiful woman, a man, and another weird-looking woman.The frame of the beautiful woman was beside that of the man while the weird-looking woman's frame hung opposite the two.

    Chapter 57: Finding her roots

    "Which is?" Gabriel probed further."Finding her roots" Aquila calmly replied. Her reply made Gabriel and Rita turn their faces in confusion while looking at themselves.It was a very surprising thing to hear, "Wait, what? What do you mean by that?" Rita was the most confused person amongst them, hence she had to ask again for better clarification."A lot of things are attached to her, her birth, parents, siblings, and her village. She knows the people who claim to be her siblings, but the truth is, they're not her siblings. They only stood in the gap to help her, but now, after receiving various threats from the Witch they're all far away from Sofia.""Her glorified siblings told her that she is from Ebo but they were only following instructions from the Witch. The instruction was to lie to her so she'd never find out her village because if she does, there'll be a big problem"Aquila logically explained things to them but Rita was quick to retort."If there'd be a big problem, is it
