MICHAEL WEST'S JOURNEY FROM TORMENT TO TRIUMPH UNKNOWN PERSON'S POV
“A gypsy just changed the timeline. And the energy was coming from your brother's pack, the Evergreen Pack.”The words played in my mind over and over again, threatening to shatter my very mind. How was this possible? For the small amount of time I stayed in the pack, I knew Elder Maria was the only and most powerful gypsy known. What about maybe, just maybe, it was that little girl who had grown so powerful? She was so fragile, yet strong, when we were kids. She was one of the most resilient little girls ever, and I liked that in her. She was fierce and never wavering, a true attribute of Luna. Luna was supposed to be mine before my brother unknowingly took her away from me. Zara, I missed you. And really, I did. But the fact that she bore such power within her made me want her even more and, at the same time, fear her. A chill ran down my pack as I thought about what I could do with such power. A gypsy changing the timeline? And the energy coming from my brother's pack? This wa

In the center of the room, Isabella slept, as peaceful as a baby and with the careless abandon of the aged. Michael had never seen her look so fragile. For the first time, she noticed the stress lines around her eyes and mouth, the deepening cheeks, and lush black hair. He walked to the window and looked out to the city. He was going to be a father soon. Isabella was carrying his child and he was scared and excited. How could she keep such news from him? Did she plan to raise the child alone?“Hello Michael. What are you doing here?” it was Isabella.Michael jumped and turned to her. “You look worried. Why?” Isabella said“Don’t worry. I am just a little tired. Are you feeling okay?”Michael felt the effort in her voice.“Then you must get some rest. Have you had something to eat?”At this point, a soft laughter forced its way
MICHAEL WEST'S JOURNEY FROM TORMENT TO TRIUMPH THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS
Michael was still in the chair and was looking at the man. When the man approached him, he stood up to shake the man. But the man removed his cap and glasses and after a moment’s hesitation, wrapped himself around Michael and hugged him. In the man’s embrace, Michael was still not sure what was going on. He stood still and waited till the man released him from his embrace.‘What is going on sir?’ Michael asked.The man turned to one of his men and asked them to being him a chair. When the chair was brought, he drew close to Michael and said.‘When I saw a photo of you, I didn’t believe it but now it is clear to me than I had imagine.’Michael looked at him still perplexed. ‘How do you mean sir?’The man pointed to the scar that was prominent above Michael’s left eye, just below his eyebrow.

The porter at the door opened for her and stared for a long time as she waltzed in. the other people looked at her too, both staff and patrons.

MICHAEL WEST'S JOURNEY FROM TORMENT TO TRIUMPH A SERIES OF HIGH JUMPS
Clara sat up in the bed. Diana ran to her daughter’s side, relieved that she was awake.‘How are you my love?’ she said. Clara could only nod. The doctor was inside the room a moment later. He used his stethoscope to check her pulse and heart rate. He declared that they were.‘We are surprised because the way the monitor rang made me think that something wrong had happened.’‘She must be very string doctor. You see, my daughter is a strong woman. She bounces back from every problem she has encountered. And she comes back stronger and victorious. Just as I am sure that the legs will work whether with or without the doctor’s aid.’The doctor eyed her. He didn’t want to say anything. It was clear that she wanted to belittle him. He knew Diana was a troublesome woman and only wanted her way to happen. She never liked to consider anyone. After the doctor was done, he walked out of the room.‘Now you can see that that doctor is ashamed because he thought that my daughter will never walk aga

Did you not notice that he was at the hospital after we thought he had fell in that ditch and died? We were celebrating at home when we got the call that he was already well and had been discharged from the hospital.’‘So you mean that someone had heard our plans and done something to stop it from coming to pass?’‘That is exactly what I am saying babe.’‘Firstly, I am not your babe. I am no one’s babe. If that is the case, I am not in support of us meet and discussing our plans. We should plan individually and carry our plans individually so that if one of us does not kill him the other one can kill him.’‘That is a goo

WHEN THE CIRCLE COMES TO FULL POINT
They were in a house on the beachfront of Beaumont city. It was a little far from the beach but had fantastic view of the beach and the sea. The sun had risen early, as usual and there were few tourists on the beach.Steven was shocked and raised his hands but felt a surge of anger within him but he didn’t move. Instead he stood where he was. The other men had pulled out their guns too. Liam knew he was outnumbered to pull out his gun, so he appealed for calm.‘Please gentle men; let us be civil about his. The diamond belongs to all of us but we have bigger fish to fry and that is Michael west. Today is the day that we take his down at the Heroes’ Parade. After that, there will be more diamonds and money that our children will never know hunger for the rest of their lives. Let us embrace caution.’There was silence again before the first of the men who pulled out his gun began to laugh out loud. The rest joined him and started laughing. They raised their hands in surrender and put the

COLORS OF HATRED
Liam returned to his drinking, taking a sip while stealing glances at the game. A moment later, he turned to his friend, he found him looking smugly at his glass of drink.“Talk to me Nel. What’s going on? If it is about the listings, we got in and that should not be a problem.”“It is not about the listing, bro. It is something else. I guess you haven’t heard.”“Heard what?” Liam was signaling the barista for another drink.“Wells is being devalued.”Liam looked at him, saw the seriousness on his face, and waved for the barista to go. Realization hit him and he mumbled.“AB listings was just a cover. The wolves have gathered and want to have a feast.”Nelson nodded and added,“Whatever you do, don’t go face to face with the execs on Wall Street. They will kill your case before you even get a chance to present it.”“What do I do then?”“Be calm, receive the buy-out offer, and look through it carefully to find a way out. It could be an ambiguity in the words or misrepresentation. That

THE COMING
The knock came again, it was on his door. Who would be coming to his house? He had no friends or lovers? And Isabella had stopped speaking with him. Grudgingly, he walked to the door and opened. It was Isabella. Unlatching the locks quickly, he opened wide the door and bade her to come in.‘You are welcome. I am sorry I have been engrossed in a lot of work and didn’t hear the knocking on the door. How have you been?’Michael was not sure why Isabella would suddenly appear at this door without notice. Had something happened to her father? He thought to himselfShe smiled at him and tugged a loose strand of hair behind her ear. He smiled too. They were both standing in the centre of the room, uncertain what to do. Michael suddenly remembered that he had not offered her a seat. He was being a bad host.‘I am very sorry; I should have offered you a seat. Please have a seat.’‘No, its fine. I should be headed out now and allow you to finish up on your work.’‘Not so fast.

SUBTERFUGE
The officer in charge walked briskly along the corridor. Liam and Steven followed behind staunchly, confident in their steps. The officer knocked on a door. A voice responded from inside.‘Come in.’The officer opened the door and stepped aside for the two men to step inside. Then he stepped outside and closed the door. The office was sparse, except for a few standing cabinets and picture frames on the wall; one was for the president of the country and the other was of the mayor of Beaumont city. There were other picture frames that showed the commissioner receiving awards. The commissioner’s desk stood on the far end on the other side of the room, directly opposite the door. ‘Mr Liam. Good to see you again.’ the man behind the desk stood up and walked over to where Steven and Liam stood. ‘Ah commissioner, it has been a while that we have spoken or seen.’ Liam responded.‘Ah yes.’ The commissioner said. ‘to what do I owe this honour?’‘I am here to an old friend concerning a matter.

SECRETS AND SPECULATIONS
Michael returned to the living room. He and Isabella discussed the cost of living crises and what the government should do. Isabella thought to herself, ‘so he heals and is intelligent too. What a good combination.’ She likes his use of words and the way he lays out his point carefully. ‘Let us stop now. Enough of politics and talk. Let us go and have some food.’Isabella laughed, dropped what she was holding on the table and walked with him to the table. The food was in bowls and plates sat in front of ach of the chairs, together with cutlery, the bottle of wine and glasses.Michael drew back her chair for her and allowed her to sit. Then he went over to his side. Opening the bowl, he dished some food for her before dishing for himself. He was telling her about the food and the process it takes to make it. She looked interested and asked questions too. Then they started to eat. The view from the penthouse was breathtaking, covering most of the city. She asked him about his backgroun

He has met Mr. Samuel before, when he was set up to be killed by Liam and Clara. This man had come to his aid and saved. Liam and Clara thought that they had killed him but Mr. Samuel came to the ditch, picked him up and sent him to the hospital. ‘Thank you for having me at this odd hour. I know it is past work time and I had to come at this time so that no one will notice my presence here.’‘It is fine my Samuel. Thank you for coming. I also want to thank you for the other time, for saving my life.’‘You and I have been acquainted before. And I thank you that at this time, you have decided to come to my rescue once again.’‘Well, it is a small world. You can be my helper tomorrow.’‘Yea. You are correct.’‘So, donaldation is going through quite a lot but there is nothing that cannot be salvaged. I intend t

STARS BURST
Two men walked into a bar and sat down. They ordered drinks and when the waiter had brought them, began to sip their drinks. Intermittently, they would look at their wristwatches and then at the door. Michael was in his office waiting for Abraham and to hear from Luke his Henchman. Abraham was not coming, so he called Luke to come into his office.‘I want to do something. Abraham is not here but I want you to look into the possibility of acquiring more assets into Roberts.’‘But sir, we have tried that and it is not going our way. I know a way we can get to the Roberts family and hit them where they will feel it the most.’Michael adjusted his body. ‘Tell me about it.’‘I am aware of some dealing the Roberts are doing with Amelia’s father, the girl who claims to have your child and sent videos and pictures on the day of the wedding, leading to the calling off of the wedding.’‘Yea, I remember her.’‘I heard from the underground that they were involved in some drug dealings and traffic

MORE PROBLEMS
Michael walked to his car, parked outside the gate by the curb. The guards would not allow him drive in, maybe as a way of Mr. Donald showing that he was not pleased with him, he didn’t know. However, he didn’t care; all he had on his mind was to get donaldation back on track of being the biggest company and employer in all of Beaumont. He got in his car and drove off into the night. He drove to donaldation headquarters and then to the airport. He has a meeting with Mr. Pearson. Cynthia went to get the report while Michael settles for the meeting. His phone vibrated and it was a text from clara. It read.‘I know you have been busy lately, but please have dinner with me, at the four season hotel. Bills on me.’ He looked at it and laughed. Clara decided to text him today. Something must be up. This lady must be joking, he thought.Isabella watched Michael giving his speech on TV. Their romance had ended a month ago but it seemed like yesterday when she met him and fell in love with hi
