It was the weekend and a bright morning, inside a neutral-decorated bedroom that had its walls painted in white and grey, the curtains were all pulled down, causing the room to be a bit dim even though it was a bright morning.The two greyish paintings on the wall added to the neutral look of the room. It was a cool and quiet room.Once it struck nine AM, the alarm kept on the bedside table rang out loudly as it vibrated, filling the room with its loud sound, also causing the figure that lay on the king-sized bed to grumble as he slowly moved with his hands stretched out to put off the alarm.This was the fourth time since this morning that Liam's alarm went off. It rang when the time struck six and poor Liam who only wanted a good amount of sleep had to wake up to turn it off.The same thing happened when the time struck seven, and then eight and now it was nine but Liam had already made up his mind to sleep in today.He deserved to rest, the past weekdays had been hectic for him wit
"I know why you are here, you must have received my message. The young lady has regained her consciousness, the bullet wound thankfully wasn't a serious one." Doctor Sam said and Liam nodded without a word because he was way more interested in something else and not Gianna, he was more interested in that tea-like substance. "As for that substance you brought," Doctor Sam said as he stood up, much to Liam's relief. "I was able to find out what it was, please come with me." Doctor Sam said as he walked towards a shelf full of books and other things and Liam followed to stand behind the Doctor and watched as Doctor Sam pressed on a button and after pressing on a few codes, one side of the shelf pushed forward slightly and Doctor Sam grabbed onto it and he pulled the shelf forward to show what seemed to be a secret door. Impressed, Liam stood patiently and watched as the Doctor unlocked the secret door with his handprint and with a metallic clicking sound, the door opened up ever so slow
After a short silence in the room, Liam broke it by saying, "Prepare yourself, you have an important task to do for me tonight." Liam went straight to the point without beating around the bush.Gianna's hospital room was stark and functional, with a single bed occupying the centre of the space. Across from the bed, a small couch offered a spot for weary visitors to sit on. The room was illuminated by harsh fluorescent lights, casting a sterile glow over the scene.His words were enough to catch Gianna's attention, causing her to turn her head to stare at him. When she had first noticed his presence inside the room along with the Doctor, she had avoided staring in his direction, even when she felt his gaze solely on her.But now that he said these words, she couldn't keep ignoring him and she sat up on her bed immediately with a frown directed at him.This mongrel had shot her in the thighs and this was what he had to say to her after her treatment?"You won't even ask how am doing?" Gi
Leaving the hospital and with the SlumberLuxe in his possession, Liam headed straight for the mansion and on getting there, the first thing he did was to look for Alexander but when he couldn't find him in his bedroom, Liam asked a servant who then told Liam that Alexander was seated outside the garden in the gazebo at the backyard.Without wasting further time, Liam headed straight for the gazebo in the backyard garden and there Alexander was, in his wheelchair with a cigarette in between his fingers with its butt burning while smoke swirled around him.The old man was having a smoke, Liam noted.The garden was a beautiful one with a variety of flowers and the air smelt fresh and sweet, probably because of the flowers around. Since it was still morning, the sun was warm and birds chirped around as they perched on a maple tree situated just right beside the gazebo, giving it a beautiful look.As he walked towards the gazebo, his legs stomping on the ground full of dry leaves from the
After a long silence between Alexander and Liam where they both just stared ahead without saying anything to each other, admiring the view and enjoying the feel of nature as the soft breeze blew about and even ruined Liam's neatly brushed hair.Liam finally broke the silence by bringing out the SlumberLuxe tea-like poison from his side pocket and showing it to Alexander while he informed him."I found out what this is from Doctor Sam, it's a poisonous substance, very crazy." He explained as he gave a dry laugh while placing the wrapped substance on Alexander's opened palm.Examining it, Alexander sighed and he said, "If this is coming from Chorro, then I'm not surprised at all. I mean, why would I be? He enjoys doing hidden and lazy things," Alexander said with a resigned sigh. "How does this work?" He asked while looking up at Liam and away from the poison in his palm."According to the Doctor, it places its victim to sleep where they would never wake up again, just as its name impli
It was still morning and in a matter of minutes, it would be noon time, currently a few minutes before it would strike twelve. Right after reading through the email sent to him, Liam left his bedroom and headed towards the kitchen to have his breakfast.Realistically, he needed to eat as he had skipped eating and had quickly headed for the hospital this morning to go see Doctor Sam and Gianna.Getting to the kitchen, with the help of the chef, Liam prepared a small breakfast for himself and he quickly gobbled it all up as time was running way too fast.Afterwards, he went to his bedroom and changed out of his black pants and t-shirt and wore a sweatshirt and sweatpants and headed straight for the gym built inside the mansion.Alexander had shown this gym to him and Liam had been super excited to do a workout section here. However, during the past week, he had barely had any time to spare and never saw an opportunity to visit the indoor gym. But now, there was finally a reason and an o
Gianna who now lay alone in the hospital room where she was being placed which she figured was a VIP ward, she couldn't stop sighing ever since Liam left with the words he had said to her.The only thing she could think of was how to leave this place and get to Chorro.Knowing she had so much information to give to him, this would probably get her a promotion from Chorro because she survived in the hands of the enemy and would return with important information.A soft knock from the door interrupted Gianna's train of thought and she sat upright as the door slowly opened to reveal a nurse stepping in while pushing in a cart that contained food and medicine.'I need to find a way to escape from here, one way or the other,' she thought as she watched the nurse push the cart and come to a stop beside her bed.Wordlessly, the nurse did a little checkup on Gianna and did some medicine subscription and the nurse made sure Gianna took the medicine before saying, "This is your porridge, you sh
'Finally, Chorro is here to take me!' Gianna thought and she immediately ran and headed for her ward where her so-called visitor was waiting for her.However, on getting there, to Gianna's uttermost surprise, there was no Chorro waiting for her. Instead, a man sat on the couch situated opposite her bed, the same spot Liam had sat on.With a confused frown, she walked towards her bed to see who it was while pondering on why the person was there or who he was."Good day, Ms Gianna," the man stood up and greeted the moment he saw Gianna step into the room."Who are you? Did Chorro send you here for me?" She asked as she still had some expectations and hope. At least, if Chorro wouldn't show up himself, he would send someone, right? That was more logical to think about."Who I am is not really important, but just know I was sent by Liam," The man said and paused as if waiting for his words to sink right into Gianna's head.But rather, Gianna felt her head spin at the mention of Liam's nam
