MYSTIQUE DAMON Chapter 46: The Kitten and the cats
When Raiden was still thinking about what to do to make Armstrong change his mind before he eat away Mellisa, then he heard throaty bubbling laughter echoing in the room; he stiffed and quickly turned around to know where the laughter was coming from.Hope nobody dares eavesdrop. His eyes swirled around to pinpoint the direction of the sound, he wanted tip·toeing then stop and swish, he disappeared, and appeared in the hallway but no one was there, swirl around to catch whoever was eavesdropping on them yet nobody was there, then swish! he materializes back in Armstrong's room.Armstrong abruptly stood up when he heard that sound and he knows where it coming from. Right from his backyard garden. He ignored it at first, then it repeated, another ebullient blissful sound filled the room and he abruptly stood up advancing towards the window to see who dares stepped their feet there.That's his sacred garden, only the caretakers come here, and it occasionally, and with a strict guard.

MYSTIQUE DAMON Chapter 47: Hope at last
Armstrong was leaning against the Timber Wood watching Mellisa as she hurriedly stepped down with his furry cat cuddled on her arm. He was curious about what she is about to do but he kept quiet while probing.After Mellisa was a bit tired of stroking and cuddling the cats, she decided to make their meal puree; she wasn't supposed to but as a cat lover, she knows what a cat loves. Scrambling around to get the rightful bowls, she rushed down to one of the small running stream, a pipe to be precise but it was channeled into a small pound, making it looks like a small running stream. She began washing the bowls she will use in preparing the cat puree with the furry cat clinging to her as usual.Armstrong cringed, rubbing his eyebrows. "That bitch is being clingy, what a showoff." He doesn't know if he should rush and drag her out or just watch her to see her next actions, just as he was debating and wondering what was inside her beanie when Mellisa dropped the already cleaned bowls grabb

Inside, she feels numb and empty, but on the surface, she's trying to hold herself together. She was depressed, so distraught, that she could hear her own Soul whispering into her, telling her everything will be alright. But when? How?It's been months since she last saw her daughter, the numbness and emptiness in her heart since then can make a resounding echo, and she feels waves of anger. After all, it's not fair that her daughter has gone missing. It was not right, and she was furious at the universe for allowing this to happen. She was angry at herself, wondering if there was something she could have done to prevent this. She couldn't do anything, she was just being a useless and irresponsible mother.

MYSTIQUE DAMON Chapter 51: A shot in the arm
As the door slammed behind Ria, McCall couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. He was finally alone, but his mind was still racing. He was trying to process what had just happened, and the words that Ria had said were still echoing in his head. "I'll make sure that everyone knows what a fraud you are." Those words stung, but he knew that they were just the product of Ria's frustration. He understood her anger. That girl and empty threat are just like five and six. He hissed.McCall took a deep breath and straightened his tie, trying to regain his composure after his heated exchange with Ria. But before he could gather his thoughts, the door opened again, and in walked Mr Keller.The man's face was lined with worry and exhaustion, and McCall knew this was going to be a difficult conversation.

A few minutes later, an officer knocked on the door of McCall's office. "They're all set up in the interrogation room," the officer said. "You ready to start?" McCall nodded and got up from his desk. "Let's do this," he said, steeling himself for the task ahead. He followed the officer down the hall to the interrogation room, where the suspects were already waiting. McCall's expression hardened. "You're not telling me everything you know," he said, his voice firm and unyielding. "I can tell when someone is lying to me, and I can see that you're not telling me everything. I need to know what happened to Mellisa, and I'm not leaving this room until you tell me the truth." The suspect's face paled, and he began to sweat. "I swear, I'm telling you everything I know," he said, his voice shaking.McCall studied the suspect's face, looking for any signs of deception. "You're not being honest with me," he said, his voice cold and resolute. "I know you're hiding something. And if you don't te

Chapter 109: Mellisa in Zombieland Part 2

A fucking live beast.Mellisa took a moment to swallow the hardest lump in her throat. So what she had been seeing in her dreams was real?Heaven! The beast looked frightening. It was blazing red, and was that a horn?

Adrenaline churned through her veins; making her heart beat harder and faster as if it wanted to jump out of her chest. Her eyes were the size of a dinner plate. She was paralyzed with fear.

She wondered how, and why Armstrong runs his castle's welfare. Must workers vacant same day? Well, that was a blessing in disguise. She sighed.

Chapter 106: And then I didn't
Immediately Samie teleported into the library. He gave out a heavy breath.They were right about disguising as Armstrong and doing all those kinds of stuff without Mellisa noticing. Samie realized she was smarter than they gave her credit for. He knew she recognized his voice, the doubts in her heart said it all.She was right to think the voice doesn't belong to the body. He knew she was battling with having to recognize the voice, but couldn't lay her hand on anything."Who are you? He remembered her question.He knew it was more than a question. She was very observant."How bold of you to disguise as me just to carry out those stupid things you did there?" Armstrong burned with anger. There was serious warning in his voice, and threat in his eyes as he glared at Samie."It wasn't that bad, was it?" Samie's voice lanced sardonically. He was trying to calm the demon down, because he knew his temper, and he wasn't ready to suffer a broken bone. To the demons, the healing of broken bo

Chapter 105: Can't wait to tell this story to my Grandchildren
"I will go get your food ready. You can come closer if you want to watch." He spoke quietly.Feeling lightheaded, Mellisa let her paralyzed body fell back on the lounge chair. She felt weak to the core."Why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden?" She managed to choke out a word. Barely audible.She won't blame herself. That was the only thing her brain could register after experiencing this type of shock."You are letting this little attention get into your head." Oh! The realization hits her harder like African Mothers slippers.That was the worst answer but knowing who Armstrong was, he will always show that rude side of his.Something in his eyes changed and Mellisa got a bad feeling. Like he was warning her not to let those get into her head.She felt the pressure in her chest and shook her head. Allowing the tears to burn her tears.He cured her curiosity, her fears, and her confusion more brutally.The truth she was desperate for hurt her. Making her feel like she was see

Chapter 104: I don't like this!
Mellisa doesn't mind if the world spins faster, she just wants to wake up.She knew something was wrong when Armstrong said."Rice-pulled noodles, right?"Like how did he know she was craving for that?She closed her eyes and listened to his voice. It was the first thing she had felt drawn to from the beginning. A pure, light-hearted voice. Full of concern. If it wasn't strangely scary, she wouldn't mind listening to that voice forever.But no, Armstrong could never, that voice doesn't belong to him. Armstrong? That cold fish could never come back to make her rice-pulled noodles, and Armstrong could never sweep and tidy messy kitchen like he was having fun in it. Like it was a piece of cake. Armstrong could never show this level of concern. This particular Armstrong is wrong. Unless he was possessed. She grumbled inwardly.Armstrong looked at her, waiting for her response for a long moment she didn't say a thing. She was too perplexed to speak. The wheel in her heart was going in dif

Chapter 103: Wonderfully wrong
"Banshee.....!!! She heard a husky voice call, at some point, she thought this voice sounded familiar.She sucked in a sharp breath of slight startle when Banshee that was growling at her like she was a meal ready to be devoured took a step back. Even though Banshee looked like he wasn't satisfied with whatever that made her halt. She was happy that she wasn't devoured. That would have been worse than dying as a prisoner and allegedly spy.She twisted in fear, glancing at the closed door to where the voice came from, and froze.Standing on the entrance with the door closed, his two hands dug inside his side pockets was a man who shouldn't be here.She could feel the weight of his gaze on her shoulder and she felt sick at her thoughts. The thought of what she did minutes ago hit her like a train.What is he doing here again?She turned slightly to her left and saw Banshee, lying down with her tongue sticking out, she wasn't growling like before.She took her eyes back at the incohere

Chapter 102: You should have seen their face
At Northern Coast. (Raiden's Resident)"Any information?" Raiden asked Paul as he stepped inside the room, his hands dug inside his pockets. He paused on his moves once he took a look at the man tied to the chair undergoing torture.Staring at him from head to toe, he nodded purely practically.The sight was brutal, the man's head was hanging low, blood dripping from his nose, and sweat all over his almost naked body."Unfortunately, no. There was no sign of Luciano, even Allen and Aidan went into hiding after Liam was abducted. Paul announced, poking his cheek inwardly, face focused on barely alive Liam."Do you think they knew he was with us?" Ivan inquired, his attention fully focused on his boss Raiden.Raiden stepped forward to where Liam was being chained down, he looked like he was lost in thought as his arms were crossed, and his thump brushing his lips. "It should interest you that Luciano is not as dumb as you think... I'm pretty sure he knows we are here and might be plannin

Chapter 101: She is crazy he is scary.
Once Mell was done taking her ginger drink, she approached the sack closer to the downward cabinets. Bracing herself. All confident even though she knew she suck at cooking, nevertheless, she won't sit back and starve to death. Not when she was on her period.Putting her hair in a bun, she reached out to touch the bag of flour, she could feel a gentle powderiness that caressed her hand like a whisper of snow. She could feel the soft grains of flour sliding through her fingers, leaving a smooth, silky sensation on her skin, she grinned, smiling coyly at herself as she felt the smooth content.It was rice flour. She smiled and then went ahead to measure a cupful needed to prepare her rice noodles."Today I'm going to do this. Just mix this and that, knead, and stretch. That's it." She beamed. Then stir fry, reheat, and cook. What else? She was rambling whilst bringing out the needed utensils for her cooking."Easy right?" She pouts, remembering how Jasper Cruz always prepared Rice noodl
