"OMG" Mandy gasped, grabbing her chest. "They can't die Declan. You can't let them die, "she said, fearfully. Mandy didn't realize the weight of the matter till that moment. She was not on good terms with May and her mother, but the thought of something happening to them broke her heart. "There's nothing much we can do at this point. They still have time, we just have to act fast." Declan switched to the other lane fiercely, pouring his frustration to the road. Mandy glanced at him and his countenance broke her heart. A thought crossed her mind and she looked away, not sure of what she was about to say next. "What about the herb?" Mandy asked in a low tone, looking out through the window. "What herb?" "The one we purchased at the auction. It can do quite a lot based on my research." Declan's grip tightened on the steering "No Mandy, not the herb." "But why not?" Declan glanced at her. Maybe she had gone insane without him knowing. He stared for too long and Mandy rais
"Omg... Help me. Plea— Argh!" Mandy's panicked voice yelled into the phone. "Mandy! Mandy!" The call dropped without her answering. Declan growled, tightening his fight. He glanced at the Livingstons trying to summon their guards and his chest rose in anger. Just when he was so close at getting them. Glancing down on his phone, he gave it a final squeeze and dashed out. Back at Livingston's sitting room, Chris sat paranoid on his arm chair while James tiptoed to the front door. "Did you hear that noise?" James asked his father. "I don't know what's going on but we have to get to those boys before something rash happens." Chris buzzed the safety button one more time and this time, someone picked, saying a weak "Copied" into the microphone "Where the hell have you been!?” *** Declan turned to the next lane sharply, causing other drivers to honk their horns at him. "Lunatic!" One yelled out from his window. Declan sped off, Mandy on his mind. He dreaded what may be the
Rays of sunlight flowed in through the window of the Asher's master's bedroom. Mandy turned to the other side, dragging the sheets up to her chin. She felt a strong arms pull her closer and wrap around her warmly. A sweet smile crept her face and she snuggled closer. "Morning sunshine." Declan's hoarse voice said and he planted a kiss on her temple. Warmth spread though Mandy's body and her face flushed pink. "Morning." She managed to find her voice. The memories of the previous night were not the ones she would forget in a hurry. Last night was different and unlike the first time, didn't in any way feel like a mistake. She could be in his arms all day and had no worries. At midday, Declan sat across from Mandy over a cup of coffee at the front porch. "Now I can't kill them, what should I do?" Declan asked Mandy, his face etched with seriousness. "We have to come up with a plan. A plan that doesn't involve breaking their bones of course" Declan raised his hands in surr
Declan emerged from the Lab exactly 2 hours later. Beads of sweat gathered on his forehead and he wiped it off with his elbow. "Done?" May asked, standing from where she had almost dozed off. "Yeah. All set." He said, shaking the blue substance contained I'm a small jar he carried. He went over to where Clara and Ashley laid and poured out some substance into Plate. He emptied the plate with a syringe. "Ready?" May nodded erratically, her heart drumming in her chest. "Born ready." Declan found Ashley's vein first and injected her with the medicine. He did the same to Clara shortly and stepped back to observe them. "How long will it take before we see the effect?" May asked, impatiently glancing at her mom and sister. "For as long as it will take. " Declan pressed his lips together in apology for not giving a definite answer. "This is just the first dose. We will go 2 to 3 more to see changes." Declan explained. May clasped her hands together. She was anxious about wha
Declan was at the police station in the early hours of the morning. "What are all these!?" The inspector threw a stack of pictures on the table before Declan. "What does it look like?" Declan said coldly. "You tell me. Because it doesn't make any sense to me. Do you realize it's against the law to take unauthorized pictures of someone?" Declan chuckled without humor. "You asked for evidence, didn't you?" Aside from the pictures are recordings of him admitting to his crimes." The inspector leaned back on his seat, gazing lazily at Declan. "You could have put him at gunpoint and made him confess that." Declan's muscles flexed. "You know that's a lie." "How do you prove it? And don't even think of showing me those pictures" Declan's features darkened and it prompted a smirk from the Detective. Slamming his hand on the table, Declan sprang up. Shooting the Detective one last glare, he stormed out of the police station. Declan was so livid as he drove out. He should have kn
At the Livingston's residence, James and his father sat across from each other at the home office. "Everything is going well as planned father. You don't have to worry."James said with an assuring smile. "Ahh.... I'm not worried my child. Not at all. I'm simply overwhelmed. Everything is finally coming to fruition."Chris said sipping from the glass of wine before him. "Thank you so much father. I promise not to disappoint you. I will make sure I make up for everything we've lost over the past few months."Chris looked up at his son with pride and hope in his eyes. "Cheers.""Cheers."They clinked their glasses. The classical music that played in the room intensified, hitting the climax. James and his father shut their eyes at the sweet melody as they celebrated.Immediately, the power went out and everywhere blacked out."What's going on?" Chris hissed with a low tone. "I think the power went out"James ran his hamd along his suit jacket in search of his phone. "Exactly what
James stared at his phone and his features darkened. He squeezed the phone in his hand then flung it across the room with a growl. "Bastard! I swear I will kill you, Declan King!"James seethed, his chest rising and falling in rage. What was Declan? A human or beast? He had just received the photos of his best men all beaten up to pulp and in pain. "This is not the end." James braced himself, adjusting his shirt. Declan may have killed his men, but James had more odds against Declan. He reminded himself that Declan was charged with arson and attempted murder and would be thrown behind bars soon. Declan should even be behind bars at the moment if not for the Influence of the Ashers."It's just a matter of time." James assured himself trying to breath. He retired to bed that night with a heavy heart. The next day was the launching of the B11 medicine at the Livingston's pharmaceutical. Dignified business men and women from all over the world were invited and present. "Welcome ladie
"Is there a problem?" Mandy asked, reading the change in Declan's countenance. "I hope not. I have to go now." He gave her a side hug and dashed out. "Wait!" Declan arrived at the hospital shortly. He went into the Williams ward and Saw May seated beside her mother. "Are they alright?" May turned on hearing Declan's voice. Her face immediately broke into a bright smile. "You're here." She got up and walked up to him. "They are still in coma but the doctors think they will wake up soon. They observed some positive changes since the last time you came." "Oh. That's great news." Declan beamed her a smile at her in relief. He was worried something bad might have happened. "I'm sorry I didn't come earlier, had a serious issue to deal it." Declan walked past May as he spoke to take a look at her mom and sister. Their pulse rate has improved, compared to the last time. "I saw." May stated, her gaze falling on her fingers. She was embarrassed by what she was about to say. "Hu
