John remained on the floor all through the night. The cold, hard surface offered no comfort, amplifying the extreme pain that coursed through his body. His eyes were vacant, staring at nothing in the dimly lit room.

The stillness around him contrasted sharply with the storm brewing inside. He felt a burning rage deep within his heart, a searing fury that seemed to fuel the agony of his injuries. The slap from Modelisa echoed relentlessly in his ears and flashed incessantly in his mind.

It wasn’t just about the slap itself; it was the fact that it had come from her. Never before had he been slapped, and the betrayal from someone he trusted left a gaping wound in his heart.

As he lay there, he knew he needed to put an end to everything that was happening. The urgency to resolve the turmoil grew with each passing second.

He contemplated the possible ways to bring this chaos to a close, his mind racing despite the creeping silence of the night. The stillness seemed to amplify his thoug

    John strode through the abandoned alley, his eyes darting around anxiously. He was looking for Miss B, who was supposed to meet him there five minutes ago, as they had agreed. He was dressed in a navy blue suit, every detail meticulously arranged, his eagerness to end things that day palpable in his tense posture.The alley was a desolate, eerie place, filled with the lingering smell of decay and dampness. The walls were covered in peeling paint and graffiti, and the ground was littered with crumpled papers and empty bottles. The distant hum of the city felt miles away, replaced by an unsettling silence that amplified John’s growing unease.Finally, he heard the faint sound of footsteps approaching from behind. The noise echoed off the narrow walls, each step sending a jolt of anticipation through him. He swiftly turned, his heart pounding in his chest. It was Miss B, waltzing towards him with an air of confidence, an umbrella in her hand and held above her head.“Finally,” John smile

    “Dad, it’s been a while, and I know I haven’t really spoken to you since things have gone this way. I have been too ashamed to come to you. The one thing you placed in my care was taken away from me. I haven’t been able to face you ever since. It has felt as though the whole world is against me. I am really sorry for disappointing you. I couldn’t be half the man that you were,” John said with a cracked voice, tears welling up in his eyes as he stood in his room staring into thin air.His mind had traveled far away. There was too much guilt weighing on his chest. He felt wasted once more after he had finished talking to Miss B and returned home.“I need your help today, Dad. I can’t do anything without you, and it is clear that I am worthless without you. I allowed a woman to take over my thinking, and everything you had worked so hard to gather, I threw it down the drain with a snap of my fingers. I know I am worthless and I am stupid. I might have learned my lesson, but the guilt can

    “I was hit!” John said abruptly.John's abrupt declaration sent ripples of tension through the room. Stephanie's eyes widened, mirroring the shock that rippled through her. He held her gaze for a moment before shifting his attention to Modelisa, whose expression betrayed a mix of apprehension and guilt. John hesitated, his mind grappling with the weight of his words. Yet, spurred on by Modelisa's silent urging, he pressed forward."It was the floor," John muttered, his voice barely above a whisper, as if the admission itself carried a heavy burden. Stephanie's brows furrowed in confusion, her disbelief evident in the way she leaned forward, urging him to clarify."The floor hit you?" Modelisa's voice was tinged with skepticism, a silent warning to tread carefully in the murky waters of their shared secret. John hesitated, feeling the weight of their expectations bearing down on him. He swallowed hard, his gaze flickering away from Modelisa's intense stare, which seemed to bore into

    “What the hell?” John exclaimed as soon as he turned and saw Rhys. It was Brad who held him by his hand.“What is going on? Let go of my hand,” John protested, but Brad had a firm grip on his hands and quickly dragged him into the nearest room. It was a store room in the Mansion.“What are you doing?” John finally protested again, using his strength to break free from Brad’s grip. John was inflamed with anger, his face contorted with rage. His eyes bore into Brad’s like a lion ready to pounce on its prey.“I am sorry about that,” Brad finally spoke, adjusting his black suit and tucking his right hand into his pants pocket.John’s heart was pounding in his chest, each beat echoing like a war drum in the silence of the store room. The dim light cast eerie shadows on the walls, adding to the tense atmosphere. He could feel the cold sweat trickling down his back, his muscles tensed as if ready for a fight. The air was thick with the scent of dust and old wood, mingling with the faint, mu

    John widened his eyes, straining to hear every word, his ears attuned to any sound that might reveal the unfolding drama. Stephanie’s initial scream had made his ears tingle, sending shivers down his spine. “What are you doing naked?” Stephanie’s voice echoed through the hallway, a mixture of shock and disbelief reverberating in her tone. Her voice was high-pitched, filled with the kind of intensity that only comes from sudden, unexpected revelations. A smile flashed across John’s face, a knowing grin that spoke volumes. It was his cunning that had led Stephanie to discover Jeffery and Gabriel Blake naked and caught in the act. The image of their shocked faces brought a wave of satisfaction that coursed through him, warming him from the inside out. John could almost hear the tension in the room, the awkward silence that must have followed Stephanie’s exclamation. He imagined Jeffery scrambling for words, his mind racing to concoct a plausible explanation. The air would be thick wi

    John stood there, his mind swirling with a whirlwind of emotions, as he found himself rooted to the spot, unable to tear his gaze away from Gabriel Blake. The room seemed to blur around him, the chatter of the business partners fading into the background as he focused solely on the enigmatic figure before him. Every detail of Gabriel's appearance was etched into John's mind: the confident tilt of his head, the subtle gestures of his hands as he spoke, the way his eyes seemed to sparkle with intelligence and charm. It was as if time itself had slowed down, allowing John to drink in every nuance of the scene before him. His heart hammered against his chest, the intensity of his emotions threatening to overwhelm him. He felt a surge of adrenaline coursing through his veins, a mixture of awe and disbelief at finding himself in such close proximity to someone he had admired from afar for so long.

    “Are you surprised?” Jeffery asked, his gaze penetrating deep into Johns soul, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.Jeffery turned to Gabriel and let out a chuckle. “He’s surprised,” he remarked, shaking his head in amusement.John felt an instant chill sweep over him. How was this possible? Had Jeffery known about his plan all along?His heart shattered into a million pieces, and his legs turned to jelly. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, and his eyes grew red with emotion.“How did you know?” John asked, his voice trembling slightly, though he tried to maintain a façade of boldness. Deep down, he knew he had been defeated, but he refused to show weakness.“John Beckham, have you forgotten that we’ve been friends for many, many years, my dear friend?” Jeffery placed a reassuring hand on John’s shoulder. “I know you inside and out. I’ve studied your every move, which is how Stephanie and I were able to outmaneuver you time and time again. But you still have much to learn. You

    “ I don’t understand what you are asking?” John turned to feign ignorance.His eyes rolled around even though he tried to maintain composure. He did not know the lie that he would tell Stephanie, but he knew that any wrong move he made would put him in trouble.“You heard my question, answer it!” Stephanie snapped, her eyes like a fierce dragon.The morning was still young, and the room was not that bright. John and Stephanie entered a silent battle of wills. John heaved a deep sigh as he wondered what lie he could fabricate. He couldn’t even dare tell Stephanie the real truth because he didn’t have any truth to back it up. He was in a tight spot.“Can I ask you a question?” John finally got hold of his tongue.Stephanie remained unfazed. “I do the question asking while you do the question answering. So answer my question,” her voice unwavering with authority.The tension in the room was real, almost tangible. John’s heart pounded in his chest, each beat echoing in his ears like a dru

    "It's not fair you know " Carl smirked as he advanced into the Training chamber. Seeing him disgusted me and also scared my ass out. He stopped abruptly where I stood and gosh, I felt like he really had an ulterior motive." Sorry Carl, we just needed to sweat a little before you arrive" Brad apologies smiling and Carl as well was smiling." No eish man, at least i am here now" I bawled and spanked my ass tight before he walked away giving me a wink. I shook on the spank he gave to me as I wasn't expecting such dirty behavior from him at that time." What's wrong?" Alexis inquired as she noticed the way I shook. I ground my teeth and scowled at Carl but actually that's all I could do." No it's nothing, I am fine" I said, staring at Carl angrily. " Are you sure you're fine" Alexis persisted and I gazed at her pissed off." I just said I am Fucking fine Alex" I snapped and she shrugged." It's Okay, I just noticed some anomaly and that's why I asked." She said and turned her gaze aw

    " It's actually a long story" I said and dabbed my gaze away from hers. I became a little shaky and tense remembering my essence for coming in the first place." Are you sure? You can talk to me" she said and placed her hand on my thighs, slowly rubbing my pants. I glimpsed at her and grunted." Yeah, I am fine. It's really nothing important" I said stuttering but then had a valiant look to make my facade believable. She stared at me for a while and then nodded. I sighed and smiled as well.I sipped the tea but then I realized that I had nowhere to go after taking the tea. My eyes widened and the tea hooked in my throat. I didn't want Chloe's mom to know my broken side, but then I really needed her help in order to know where Adrian lived and how to get to him. "I will be right back, I need to go give Chloe her pills" she said and stood up."Umm hmm" I muttered and nodded, with a fake smile. I watched her walk away and when she was no longer in sight, I dropped the tea cup down and s

    I pulled the door open and peeped outside. It was perch black but then I saw Zelda not so far from the door." Zelda?" I called out not so sure if my mind. She quickly rushed her head and turned back to me. She was backing me earlier before I beckoned on her. " Alina, why are you outside?" She queried and quickly rushed back to me. She walked back to me as I was also standing outside. She stood in front of me and I could read from her uncertain visage that something was wrong."I spoke to Chloe and she told me you were outside. I came to check up on you." I bawle gently, whilst my eyes traveled around still surveying for anyone or anything weird. I was sure I heard a voice when I opened the door before it died off."Oh okay, let's go inside" she said and led the way but then I held her as she tried walking past me. " What's wrong? I am sure you are hiding something from me." I snapped staring into her face. She glared at me and then pushed a smile up. Thought It was very evidently

    " You!!!?" I queried in surprise..I was caught off guard seeing that Zelda was the one who rat me out to Tiana. I was still shocked how she knew I was hiding something."Yes, I did it, '' she said, smiling. My eyes widened in fear and my jaw cracked slightly.we both stared into each other's eyes but then I wondered why she was smiling so broadly."How did you know and why did you do it?" I questioned whilst she took steps closer to me. My eyes didn't blink as I fixated it on her. "I wanted to make you happy and put a smile on your face, '' she bawled. I was totally confused at what she was driving out. She ratted me out to Tiana and said she did it to make me happy. I gasped and gaped in shocn for a couple of seconds. But then how did she know that I was hiding something. That was the question that filled my mind and head."You wanted to make me happy? How is that, I never thought you'd do such to me. What did you even know?" I asked with a firm scowl. Suddenly the smile she had on h

    "Let's go now and avenge Chloe's death,” Zelda snapped. I was also enraged and ready to attack. “ This is what I wanted to hear. I want war” Maddy snarled at me. I huffed and shook as she spoke. I wasn't really expecting it to take as it seemed she ran away when Chloe lost her life.“No, we are not doing that” Adrian said. We all turned out gae at him. He seems very serious but rh I wondered why he was throwing the mission out through the window.“ Why!?“ Zelda questioned immediately before I could even speak. I had to swallow my words which were vait coming out.“ That's because we are not ready. Tiana is not Someone we are going to attack when we are not prepared. She is fully ready for us and she will be waiting for us to take this move. I'm sure she has already laid a trap for us as she did today but this time around we aren't going to get entangled in it”. Adrian said. Thinking about it made me see the reason for his disapproval and it was the best idea.“But what's about Chloe'

It was obvious he was ready to do and undo." Adrian and his love bird, so this is where hiding" Jared asked. The rest four men wehere behind him..they were all. Dressed in black clothes. He had a smirk. On his face as he swung into that room.I turned to Zelda who seemed very surprised and scared. The atmosphere of the room switched. We would have ran outside using the backdoor, but then the house didn't even have a back door." Jared, so she sent you to get me, '' Adrian added and walked in, standing in front of Zelda and I. He clenched his fist so tightly. His eyes were narrowed."Oh yeah, I am here to get you"Jared poured out and smiled.

Sir Luca led the way whilst adiea flower and I and the Zelda ass behind me. “This place Is quite dark” I said dn before I could finish my statement, there was light that just popped right on. It was Adrian who turned it on as he flipped a switch. I strolled my eyes around and it was well built and situated.“Do you like it?“ Adrian asked and hid my hand. He stared at me sideways as dropped a scoff.“ I think I do” I whispered. He hid and shook his head. We went deeper into the well widened space. My eyes strolled around as usual and I loved what I saw. There was a bench at the side of the room.

    " What's wrong Alina?" Adrian questioned with his eyes widely opened in shock as to the way and swiftness with which I sprouted up from the couch."Zelda and Chloe" I said and my hands pressed around my head. I never thought about it but then Tiana was going to get to them if I didn't get to them first. I told her she was my only family. I paced the room very distressed. My heart throbbing out of my body."Zelda and Chloe? What happened to them?" He queried with a stressed gaze and narrowed brows and eyes. I pulled himself up from the bed with his bare chest popping right in my face as I wasn't so far from him." They are in danger. Zelda and her daughter are really in danger. I stayed in her house whilst I worked at the mansion. Tiana knows her and I am very sure she is going to want to get to her. She is going to want to inquire from her where I am because we had lied to her that we are siblings. Tiana is surely going to question her if not harm her" I spat and my hands started shak
