"Arggh!"Governor Clark cried out with a loud voice. Nothing could be compared to the amount of pain he felt at that moment.He held his chest and fell to the ground.At the other city Mandy and Declan were at a dinner table set for six. The diner was at the Asher's residence to celebrate the recovery of their grandfather.May Williams walked in at that moment ."Hi... hope I'm not late. She said cheerfully waving at everyone.""The celebrant has not arrived so you're right one time" Mandy replied, showing her a seat across from Declan."Hi, May." Declan greeted and May responded with a small nod. Everyone had expected her to come with her mom considering the fact that her invitation was for two. But to their surprise, a good-looking young man walked in beside her."Looks like someone found herself a catch."Mandy said, her eyes trailing the man from head to toe. The man was very attractive. 6'2 tall, sharp jawline and tan skin. His biceps were well built and Mandy could imagine th
His hands clenched under his table in rage.The man whose name was Timothy. Popularly known as Dr Timo arrived his office. He pulled off his jacket and threw it in the air. His aura exuded rage and irritation. “Get me some water.”He hissed and one of his guards fetched him some from the dispenserHe was downing the water when a woman walked in.“Darling, is anything the matter?”The young slim lady called Zita asked, running her hand along Timo’s chest in a stylish way.“I’m fine.”Timo said with a low icy voice that matched his true feelings.“No you’re not and I think I know what the problem is.”Zita stopped and sat on a chair crossing her legs.“You’re not the only one who share in the feeling. I have looked into him myself but something is not right about him.”“What is that?”Timo looked at the woman.“All his said achievements were uploaded to his resume just in the space of a month and it bugs me to know that the people of this town are so gullible and cannot read the handwr
“Where is she?”Patrick thought inwardly, glancing around. His eyes caught May seated on a chair nearby and a smile crept on his face."You see? You love it too!"Mandy said excitedly, thinking the smile was for her. May did a thumbs up and gestured on Patrick to move closer. He did and her camera was up again. It happened that she had been making a video of everything. "What is this one called?"Mandy said and Patrick's attention snapped back at her. She showed him something on her phone this time and he leaned closer, leaving a tiny space between them."Perfect!" May said almost audibly and captured that moment. From where she sat, one and the angle of her photo, one would think there was something else going one between the two.Satisfied with the number of shots and videos, she dropped the camera outside and brought out her phone to call someone."Hello, the time is now"She said to the person and dropped the call.Barely 2 minutes later. a lady in her mid twenties stormed into t
"Huh!?" She screamed, dropping her bag with a thud with her mouth wide open. She had walked into Declan, pecking Mandy’s forehead and she could not believe her eyes. Declan glanced at her over his shoulders and she immediately snapped her opened mouth shut. “Uhm… sorry for the interruption. I should leave you two alone.” She said turning abruptly to leave. “Thank you for bringing her to the hospital” Declan said and she walked away without speaking to him. “Are you alright?” Clara asked when her daughter stormed in and slumped into the chair. “I’m well. Sorry I was not there on your discharge. I had an important errand to run. Hope Ashely didn’t give you a hard time.” “Not at all. She was very gentle to me. I’m glad she is learning well.” Clare said and May managed a smile. She concluded with her mom and went up to her room. May paced the floor of her room in deep thought of what. “How come he was not affected?” May asked herself for the upteempth time. She conclude
The next time the governor woke up, he was hung on a tree with a rope and his men surrounded him, their guns pointing at him.“What’s going on?”He asked in panic as he looked around. “Have you all gone nuts? Put your guns down now!”He yelled at his men but they didn’t move. They seemed out and disconnected from this world and only stared at him blankly. His eyes trailed all of them and fear gripped him.“What have you done?!”He screamed at Declan on top of his voice and Declan smirked.“You have one chance, governor, where is my woman?”“In hell!” Governor Clark seethed with anger. Declan didn’t say a word to him, but glanced at the side of one of the soldiers, and nodded.“Boom!”The soldiers pulled that trigger, releasing a bullet in the air at the governor.The governor snapped his eyes shut with fear as the bullet hit him straight on his left leg.“Arhhh!”He cried, gnashing his teeth at the pain that struck through him. Again, Declan looked at two other soldiers and their b
Blood drained from Declan's face. He shook his head to the side, his disagreement evident in his face and the way his eyes popped. "You won't touch her." Declan said in a low grit and his master cocked his head to the side in surprise. "Are you challenging me, your master now?" "Yes— I mean no!" Declan clenched his fist at his stutter, shutting his eyes tightly. His heart raced in his chest. This was his master and he ought to be careful if he wanted Mandy to live. He flipped his eyes open, a new fierceness in it as he held his mater's gaze with all seriousness. "Just say the word. I will do whatever you ask of me but please don't harm her." Declan pleaded keenly. "Hmm.." The master sighed and started to circle around a spot before he came to a halt. "You have 5 days to revive your mother and introduce her back to the world." "What? Five days is too short. I have not found the other herbs for her antidotes and there are other matters I have at hand." "Exactly why I came to
"Timothy, get my daughter from this man, now!" Grandpa Asher ordered and everyone glanced around in shock. Timothy did not bat an eye. He marched straight to Declan and was about to take Mandy from him when Lily stepped up to speak. "Uhm... grandpa, it's him... the same man that had been with us all this time.” Lily turned to meet her grandfather’s face. “grandpa?" Lily called in surprise when she looked by her side and her grandfather was gone. He had wheeled himself back in before she could finish speaking. "It's okay, Lily. I think I should take some break from everything myself. She needs to rest, she can call me when she wakes up if she wants." "Of course she will call you. Have a good night." Lily waved at Declan till the darkness outside swallowed his car. Declan undid the last button of his shirt and slid it off his arms. His phone beeped with a message, and glanced at it on the bedside. He took his phone and swiped up his screen and what he saw was shocking to him
May tucked her hair behind her ears as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. She loved the red silky dinner dress her secretary had made her pick at the mall. The dress made her curve more defined and sketchy and a smile crept her face at how stunning she looked.“I’m sure he’s going to like it.”She whispered, putting on her diamond bracelets. Taking a final glance at her reflection, she blew a kiss at herself.“Let’s go get this man, bitch.”She rasped with a wink walking away. May arrived at the 5 star restaurant in the heart of the city. It was the same place she and Declan had gone for their first date when they recently started seeing each other and she found it really cute.She glanced around and her gaze fell on Declan at the extreme of the restaurant. He sat alone in a table set for two at a private crib.“Hey”May’s soft voice spoke when she walked up and stopped right beside him.“Hey.”Declan husked in response. His eyes lit up as soon as he saw May and he took a mo
