He watched her go away, disappearing behind the door, over the corner of his eyes. He felt cold, a certain shiver, as if blown by the wind. His body shook immediately. For a minute, he felt himself almost become engulfed with sadness at her condition. But before he could get swallowed up by it, he laughed."Haha!" He could not exactly tell why he was laughing, but it felt good to transform the strange hollow he felt in his heart to something happy. Even if the laughter didn't sound so happy. He was not feeling sad because the money wasn't available to do what she wanted, but because she threatened to divorce him. She wasn't going to divorce him for that, was she? Of course, she wouldn't. But he did not want to wait to find out either. He laughed once more at the ordeal, and most especially, at the request. It was totally something he could not handle, so fretting over it was really out of the question.He placed his hands on the table in front of him and squinted. By his hand, his pho
Meghan found herself going to the family house to get some things she had left behind before she got married to Gavin. She was in need of more clothes as the ones she had on were already getting worn out since she had not bought new clothes to replace them because she had way too little money to get herself some.She had gotten into her room, thinking she had not been seen by anyone sneaking in, when all of a sudden she heard the door open behind her, and a voice spoke behind her."So, I guess you have come back to your old room, I see." It was the voice of her mother standing behind her. "Yes, I just came to grab some things," Meghan said without turning back to look at her."Incredible. One would have thought that you would have given up these old things to the poor and the homeless." Another voice was now speaking. "Or forgive me, I think I made a mistake. You are now the poor and almost homeless." There was laughter. Very annoying mocking laughter that had Meghan turning back to
"You are such a foolish child," Mrs. Stallion said to Meghan with a glare of disappointment in her eyes. "Was this what I thought you when growing up? Was it?" Her voice was now thunderous. Her words echoed back and forth, bouncing upon the four walls of the room.Meghan gave no reply to her mother which in turn steered the woman's anger even much more than she was angry. So much so that even her eyes and the ways she stared at her mother, elicited even much more anger than was being thrown at her before then. "You look at me like you are hearing a single thing," Mrs. Stallion started once more, “Or as if you are going to learn from your mistakes but I know you do not hear a thing of what I say. If you leave this room, you will just go on and do whatever comes to your mind. You will just go back to that good-for-nothing husband of yours that cannot even afford your clothes. Is that not a shame? Is it not?""Mom, I know what I am doing. You do not have to scold me like this, I am no
Ron Duke, the Chief Security Officer of the City Express, was in his office. Today he did not have his friends over. Neither was he expecting anyone. He was not expecting anything at all. Even that his door would be knocked open in front of him. Even the person that would be standing at the place of the knocked door was someone he was not expecting as well. The most unexpected person."What are you doing, banging into my office like that?” Ron asked glaring wickedly at the man in front of him. "Have you lost your mind, you?"Gavin himself was not the kind of person to go knocking the doors of people's offices. Even he himself could attest to this somehow. But there he was, standing there with his fingers curled up into a fist, eagerly staring at Ron. His mouth full of numberless words to say to the C.S.O."Am I not talking to you?" Ron barked again at him, ignoring a tiny voice in his head preaching to him about how the man standing in front of him was not the Gavin he knew. This was
"Hello," said Gavin into his phone. "Can you hear me?" Like he was replying to a voice that no one else was able to hear, he said again into the phone, "You already got the name. I want you to deal with him tomorrow. Just as planned.”A very muffled voice broke out of the phone. It was hard to tell what the voice was saying. But Gavin replied to him again, "I trust you. I just hope you will do a good job, so I can trust you more. I want it done as quickly as possible, with immediate effect.""Okay. Remember. His name is Ron Duke. He uses an old washed up Mercedes that has a little scratch by the side. It should not be too hard to notice." He hung up from the call and smiled to himself. He had not wished for things to come to this, but he sincerely wanted to deal with the C.S.O by all means. If there was anything he wished to do, with all his might, was to beat him up and subject him to the same torture and pains he had put him through. And that he was going to do, all determined a
After the call, Gavin thought to himself that it would not be particularly fair if he went out with her in a taxi. After her outburst, he really wanted to surprise her and make her feel as though she had made the right choice. Although he had no doubt that she had.What else could he do to make her happy? He thought to himself. Certainly there should be something he could add. He thought for a few minutes, and then, before he knew it, the most crazy idea crashed into his head."I could go borrow a car," he said almost aloud, but still to himself. He smiled deviously afterwards. There was a car rental-and-use spot somewhere in the inner reaches of the city. There seemed to not be any harm in it, so he went off to the place.He got there in a taxi. He still wore his worn out uniform. His body was still bruised. A stout man with a walrus moustache came out of the gate and saw him standing outside."Oy, mate. What are you doing standing outside of my spot? Do you have some business her
After being given the Bentley, Gavin drove to a spot near the plaza he had planned to take Meghan to. He called her on his phone to come meet him. She told him she was coming, but with the same level of skeptism that she had always had concerning the things he said. Even if she did not outrightly say it to him that, it was quite clear that she was struggling to believe him. So when she came to the location and spotted her husband in front of a blue looking expensive car, she could do nothing but frown and wonder what sort of antics he was up to this time around.Gavin was waiting, his back resting on the Bentley. He had a gentle smile calmly sitting on his face. He was waiting for her, but did not know she had spotted him from a reasonable distance away from him. He looked particularly annoying to her, because he still wore his dirty worn out uniform that seemed as though it had been scratched and torn by a thousand rats fighting for food. It was a distasteful thing to see on him,
In Gavin's head, he had prepared well to make the trip a memorable one for he and his wife, who still frowned profoundly beside him, not exchanging a word with him at all. In Meghan's head Gavin looked nothing different from a fool. He could cover it up by renting an expensive car, but not having the sense to at least change his clothes into something better showed how lacking he was in his fashion sensibilities. And she could not say anything other than to be ashamed of him.He was going to embarrass her, wherever they were going, she predicted and was sure of her predictions."This the place," he said confidently, stopping the car and coming down from it, while she hesitated, even almost pinching herself to convince herself that what she was seeing was just a dream and it was nothing she should take seriously."What are you doing?" He asked her, noticing that she was taking time to come down from the car. "I know what I am doing," she said. "You do not have to rush me. I am not a k
The fixer had kept Harry in a prison box alongside Meghan while he waited for a response from the chairman. After some time had passed and the fixer had not heard anything, he began to consider how he would profit greatly from capturing Harry's styles.Sophia overheard the fixer's condition and asked the chairman to do whatever it took to save her fiancé, adding, "I can not live without him and I want him back no matter the cost." Sophia's statement did not help matters because the chairman was under a lot of pressure to decide the best action to take while still considering Harry's life.The chairman had drank a lot of bourbon to calm his nerves and open his eyes to think of a strategic way out of the situation, but no ideas came to him, so he looked at the timer and waited for the fixer to call them back so he could call off the deal.He called his staff to prepare the letter he requested, and he said something that piqued the chairman's interest: "How sure are we that Harry is aliv
Noah's personal assistant was surprised to see him speaking with another lady, and he wondered why his boss was always drawn to women, even after what they had put him through.He decided that it was not his business or in his place to advise his boss, so he chose to take a path of silence and watching. While he was going to get the signature from the athlete, he wonders if the child was the boss's own because he had never shown this much commitment to anyone or anything other than his work, and they recently had not had much to do, so they had free time to talk and interact.He chose to remain calm and focused on his assignment, and luckily, the athlete was still shooting and had retired to his caravan to rest before they did the next shots. Noah's personal assistant saw the opportunity and immediately recognized that it was his boss who had called him earlier, and he was astounded by how much the athlete respected his boss, which increased his own admiration for him.He returned to
Gavin was pleased with the number he got and told his marking team that they had the privilege to end the text if the others could not find the 2 keys that were left. The time was moving very fast and most of the delegates began to feel the pressure of not qualifying to the next round.One of the delegate was still searching the entrance section when he found one of the two keys and he quickly ran to the chest stand to secure his box but on his way there he was shot at the back and the shot was directly on his heart and he fell to the ground and started bleeding The other delegates were so surprised at the sudden move made by the delegate he had been saving his bullets to use them at the right time , he was very happy that he had finally gotten a key after searching for so longHe wasn't remorseful with the way he murdered the delegate that had the key , he quickly took the key from his bloody hand and then took the chest and then cursed at the remaining delegate before walking out
After the first lady received her own chest, the competition among the other teams became fierce, and they all wanted to obtain their own chest and secure a spot on the 19 slots available, but it was not as simple as it appeared.Most of them tried holding the lady used, but it did not work until another person looked through the Archery section and discovered another key; the problem now was getting the key through all of the other delegate without dying.Fortunately for him, he had a gun and had already defeated his samurai, so it was a one-way ticket for him; as soon as they saw his key, a lot of them started running towards him, and he did not know how to stop them, so he shot in the air to calm them down, and then shot at Gavin, breaking the first layer of glass protecting himEveryone was taken aback by the delegate's boldness, and the other judges wanted to charge him with treason, but Gavin calmed them down, and by the time the other delegate attempted to re-capture the delega
Noah was grateful that Mel had given him the opportunity to be a part of this, and he knew that it was exactly what he needed at the time. He considered Kelly and what she would do next, but his thoughts were interrupted by Mel when she asked him if he was the one who sent the truck because their Parents and Teachers group could not stop talking about the mystery man who brought a food truck to a kids' practice match.She wondered what made him show so much love and affection for her daughters, and she did not like being pitted, so she wanted to make sure he was not doing things for them out of sympathy, because that would break her heart.Noah was a little shy to tell her his reason because he did not know why he was doing things for her, but all he knew was that he was not going to break his promise to her daughter, and he was also feeling butterflies for Mel, which was unlike anything he had ever felt before, not even with Meghan.He said, "The truck was an apology for being late a
Meghan knew that whatever decision she made would have deep consequences, and she had taken her time to weigh all her choices and their outcomes, because in the long run, she was going to be the bearer of the consequences of her decisions.She had already recovered 80% from the injury she sustained while protecting Gavin on the day she was scheduled for a virtual meeting with the fixer, and she knew she needed to be more on her feet despite her pain in order to avoid being thrown aside.The commander admired Meghan's courage and fighting spirit, and she was astounded by how Meghan dressed herself before she arrived to dress her. She saw her struggle a little, but she eventually got herself dressed."Oh, Commander! You are here!”Megah said to the commander, surprised, because as she turned to get her belt, she noticed the commander watching her and saluted him; the commander had come to fetch her for the virtual meeting and had also used it as an excuse to check on her.She could not c
The marking team member stated, "The riddle goes like this: I am the biggest person in this room, but you can not see me, I am everywhere, but you can not see me, and you can not go a day without me, but you can not see me." The riddle given by the marketing team member was simple, but it contained complexities, and the delegate was determined to find their own treasure chest.At the sound of the buzzer, they were all released to begin the game. There were no rules because it was a survival game, and the guns were loaded with actual bullets unknown to the delegate, but Gavin wanted to see how desperate they were to be on his team and how well they could defend themselves.Each gun had 15 bullets, 10 for shots and 5 for protection, but the arrows were all 15 for them to use. The game began, and the delegates all rushed to get their guns and take positions, with some getting dressed in their gear and others shooting right away.One of the delegates counted his bullets and noticed that h
Noah liked both ideas and hired a food truck to go to Mel's daughter's practice ground so that he could serve everyone there for free. He then contacted one of his clients and asked for a favor, promising that his personal assistant would go to their location to get it.The day was finally going well and as planned, the food truck arrived at the practice ground, and the organizers were perplexed as to who had let the truck in, but when the truck explained, they let him in, and one of the staff said, "Mel is so lucky to find a man who cares about her and her daughter like this, Gosh!”"I am so envious!"Another employee interrupted the lady's conversation and told her to focus on their work because they were gossiping while people were on their table who needed assistance.The staff was a little upset and grumpily started responding to the people at her table, but she could not wait to see who the man was, and she was planning on stealing the man from Mel if she did not know what to do
The personal assistant took note of all his requests and arrived at the motel in less than 30 minutes. While Noah was waiting, he asked them for access to their restroom where he could lightly wash himself up, and he also asked them for a space for his personal assistant to wait for him. The motel staff were surprised by his sudden request, but after a while, they saw a huge car come into their compound. The motel staff were amazed by how luxurious the car was and wonderedNoah was so surprised by the sudden change in mood of the motel staff that he had to look outside, and when he did, he discovered that it was his car parked outside, and he was overjoyed that his personal assistant had arrived earlier than expected.He quickly exited the reception area so that his personal assistant could see him as soon as he got out of the car. When the personal assistant got out of the car, he was surprised to see Noah looking so dirty and wondered what had happened to him, but it was not his pla
