2024-10-29 19:42:56Keith and Jacqueline were walking together to the office. Keith was trying to hide the fact that he was filled with rage at the moment and it was not going to be nice if he was to explode.
“I am sorry sir; I didn't know you would arrive here this early.” Jacqueline was still apologizing to Keith; he was not about to make sure that nothing would make Keith angry.
“I am not mad at you Jacquline; I know you didn't know that I would be here at any time now so there is no way you would have thought that there would be a fight and it would cost you an employee.” Keith was a bit serious; he was not sure that there was any explanation for what he had faced earlier.
“Marx was meant to be here; I don't know why he is not here and why he is absent.”
Keith was still angry that he didn't meet his guards there nor did he see his closest ally, Marx.
“Sir Marx would have been here but there were some unforeseen circumstances he needed to make sure that there would be nothing that would irritate you but then I didn't know you were almost here. I would have come right away.”
Jacqueline was scared of Keith and it was showing all over how he behaved, “I told you, it's fine. By the way, if you were here then it would have been hard for us to see the bug that just stopped working for you.”
Keith was not happy that he was embarrassed but he was relieved that the hotel won't have such a cruel person there anymore.
“So Marx is fixing up something, how long till he gets here?” Keith looked at Jacquline, they were heading to the largest suite in the hotel. It was only reserved for the highest-ranking men in the city.
“He told me that he would be here in three hours, I know you must be mad at him. I am sorry, I heard about your divorce. I am sorry about that,” Jacquline bowed his head to show how sorry he was to hear what had happened to Keith.
Keith was not even moved when he heard about the divorce talk, he was unmoved and it was a bit shocking for Jacquline. “I don't know if I was meant to be sad or angry that I am getting divorced but there is nothing that would even make me feel bad about it anymore. She has made her choice and I don't blame her.”
Keith was not going to let what Eleanor did to him ruin the way he was thinking or what he was meant to be doing. He had hoped that he would be able to be with her and let her rule by his side.
But he was wrong and she had other plans and his feelings were not meant to be seen. “It’s a good thing you are not letting it get to you. I know that you will be able to get through it like you always do.”
Jacquline was smiling, he knew that Keith would be able to come through whatever it was that was making him angry but Keith was not angry. Although he did feel betrayed there was nothing he could do.
“I am fine, I know you think it's a bad thing and I know it is. But I only felt betrayed I didn’t know she would even think of going to another man. I was with her for all the years I didn’t have my memory, and then when I recovered it in that ghastly accident I decided to call you all and let you know that I am alive I was going to make it a big ceremony to show her who I was and where I came from.” Keith’s hopes of ever making Eleanor his beloved forever were crushed and there was no way he would even want anything to do with her.
They got to the suite and Jacquline opened the door, everywhere was decorated like it was for a king. Keith walked in and looked around the room.
He was not impressed one bit but he chose to make sure he didn’t show that he was angry, ‘He is trying his best to see a smile on my face, it would hurt him if I was to make a gesture that I didn’t like the room.’
“What do you think lord Keith, it’s up to your taste right?” Jacquline was looking at Keith, he knew that Keith was not the easiest person to please, and if he should say that he loved the room then it would mean that he was doing the right thing for the first time in a while.
“Well, I am impressed that this sort of thing is in a place like this. You outdid yourself Jacquline, no wonder they made you the third richest person in this city.” Keith smiled, he was not going to make Jacqueline feel bad or anything like that.
“I am thrilled to hear that you actually like this room, I didn’t know what I was going to do if you said that you didn't like it one bit.” Jacquline had a smile on his face, he walked to the fridge and pulled out a bottle of wine.
“Don’t tell me that is what I think it is.” Keith had a smile on his face, he was happy to see the bottle.
“This is the only bottle in this town and I know you would want to take a sip of it.” Jacquline sounded happy when he was bringing the bottle of wine to Keith.
“You know how to make me smile, you thought of this?” Keith looked at Jacquline as he took the bottle from him and he was about to open it when the room door opened wide.
“Sorry I am late Lord Keith but I was trying to make sure you don’t run into any problem.” Marx walked in with a smile on his face.
“Marx, it is about time you got here.” Keith was opening the bottle of wine.
“Now, let’s talk about the matter at hand. Did you find out who planned my assassination?”

“I have checked everyone but the rat still keeps himself hidden, I don't know how he was able to keep himself hidden from us for long.” Marx sat down, he knew that there was no way he would be able to get things if he didn't find a way to get the culprit. “Strange, then it means that the person is amongst our ranks and he has been hiding from us. But how is possible that they would cause an accident that almost killed you three years ago.” Jacquline was not even clear on wh would think of trying to kill Keith. “Clearly whoever did it wanted to remove our master from his throne and they were trying to kill him to make sure their plan didnt fail.” Marx was looking at the table trying to make sense of the entire thing but it was still not clear to him how it happened under their watch. Keith dropped his glass on the table, he looked at the two men and he had something to say but he di not know how he was going to say it without causing a bit of confusion for them. “I know this is goi

Elenaor got home to her parents house that night, Jared was too angry to even think of walking in with her. “Are you not coming in? At least to have a drink or two,” she was looking at Jared but it was like he didn't even want to talk to her. “I didn't tell you I was thristy? I want to get back home to my father and I want to do it as soon as possible so please if you don't mind I need you to get down.” Jared was still angry with everything that happened to him, he was not even trying to hide it from Eleanor. Eleanor didn't say another word but she got down from the car and began entering the Kendrick Mansion, everyone there was surprised to see her. “You were meant to be there till morning or even three days like the both of you always do. So why are you back so early?” Sandra looked at Eleanor as she tried to take a seat, Elenaor didn't reply, rather she was still trying to understand what it was she saw unravelling at the Hotel. “El?

Keith was trying to make sure that he didn't stay long inside the room and he was sure that spending a whole day inside a locked room would make him look terrible. “I hate doing this but I have to go around the city to see if I will find anything that would make me even think of anything else.” Keith got up and walked over to the wardrobe that Jacqueline prepared for him. He opened it and spotted a plain black shirt with a pair of trousers, they were all in the highest class of things and he knew that there was no way Jacqueline would want him to wear anything below class. ‘That's right, I left all my clothes back at Eleanor's house and there is no way I am going back there to take them. I might as well jump into the ocean and let the fishes eat me.’ Keith picked a cloth out of the varieties of clothes in the wardrobe, he didn't know what else he would do but he was going to be roaming around the city till he found something that would make him forget that he had his divorce to th

“Well for starters all you need is a good name out there to make sure you don't lose more customers. You make one heck of a cocktail to be worried that you will lose anything if you keep trying,” Keith took the last sip from the cup, and he looked at Wally who was trying to keep the bad thoughts out of his head. He looked at Keith and he noticed that there was something different about Keith, but he didn't know what it was that made him feel like he was somehow a bit different. “You know what I think you are right but who in the world would want to invest in this hell hole, I know you don't have anything to do but talk to me.” Wally stood up to walk over to the back, he was not happy and it was showing all over him. “I know how you feel but don't worry Wally, soon you will be back to your old self and you will keep serving up all this good cocktail like there is nothing else for you to do.” Keith wanted to make sure that Wally didn’t leave the bar to close down so he was going to

Keith was not happy that someone was trying to hold him like he was some kind of dog, “I am asking you politely to leave me alone and you think you can just hold me like you are my superior?” “Listen, I will not hold back when I am trying to say anything to you. But I will tell you this there is no way you are going to walk out of here without taking a beating if you resist following me.” The man sounded like he was going to be sure to beat Keith up if he was going to resist. While all this was going on Lucas noticed that Keith was being held by a man that he didn't know and it was clear that Keith was not happy about it one bit. He opened the door to the car and got down, he was about to make sure everything was okay with Keith and nothing was going on.“What are you doing to him? Leave him alone,” Lucas was not about to stand around and watch them hold Keith like he was nothing, but it would also be a problem for him if he talked to them like that. He knew there was no way Keith w

Keith reached the hotel and he was still confused about the whole thing that had happened earlier, it was strange to him but he was still not going to let it bother him like that. "Who in the world would send for people to come and pick me up like I am a child?” Keith got out of the car, he was not still thinking straight. He wanted to know who it was that would even think of trying to come to him like that. “Sir, do you need me to help you with any other thing?” Lucas asked as Keith stepped down from the car, he noticed that his boss was a bit puzzled but it was like he was still trying to put the pieces together. The moment Lucas called Keith it was like he snapped out of a trance. “No Lucas, you can go get some rest. You did well today.” Keith had a smile on his face, it was like he was trying to make sure that Lucas didn't feel bad but he also wanted to make sure that he didn't think a lot about what had happened earlier. “Okay sir,” Lucas bowed his head a bit before he drove

Keith sat down and began to wait for Marx and Jacquline to show up, he was not sure what he was thinking but he knew there was something about to happen and it would be a shake if he didn't know how he was to react to it. “Someone is watching me, I don't know who might even think of watching me like that.” Keith was trying to put together the thoughts of people that he knew in the city and it was only the Kendricks and Jared Williams. There was no other major family in the city that he had talked to or even mingled with. But it was clear that whoever was watching him was some rich man. “I will have to wait and make sure that I don't fall for any trap,” Keith didn't want to think of anything else but he knew that he would have to wait to know how he was going to tackle the situation or he would be the one to fall into problems. He relaxed and looked at his phone, he saw that he had not yet saved up Noelle’s number. ‘I better save this up so I won't forget who she is when she calls.

Keith had waited till the day of his divorce before he was going to leave the hotel, he was going to make sure that there was no way he would be anywhere else. “After today there will be nothing holding me together with the Kendrick family.” “My Liege, are we to come after the trial to pick you up? It would be best if you were to move to the new house after the trial so you will find a chance to be alone and hidden from everyone.” Marx was looking at Keith, he knew that he would not want to be in the hotel for long and it was best if he was to move out of the hotel and to a house. “You know what I want, I will be sure that I move out of this place, it will be nice if it’s after this trial so I will know what my next line of action will be.” Keith didn't see any reason to remain in the hotel for that long, he wanted to make sure he was not under his enemy’s radar for long.“I will make sure they prepare it for you, rest assured that it will be ready before your trial ends.” Marx smi

I woke up to the sound of someone calling my name gently, I sprung up and took my axe ready to kill any zombie in the area. I didn’t know what was going on but I looked up to see Susan standing close to me. I was shocked to see her looking at me like that.“Is there anything wrong?” I asked her as I got up to my feet, I was trying to make sure that she was okay and nothing happened to make her look like she had seen a horror movie character.“No, I wanted to talk to you I could lie down anymore.” She said as she sat beside me, it was like she was trying to get a friend out of it all. I didn’t want it to look like I was not trying to talk to her.“Okay,” I shifted a bit for her to sit down and tell what it was that was bothering her. I didn’t know what it would be that was making her feel uneasy.She sat down and by the looks of things she was quiet, it seemed like something had happened to make her even think of coming close to me.

It took me an hour to kill the zombies that covered the fourth floor, it was like they were weaker than the other zombies I had faced but it was not that. I had gotten stronger and I knew I was only going to get stronger than this if I was to keep moving.‘If I can go faster now, why don’t I go check out the office and know if I will find anyone still alive there.’ I was thinking of trying to go see if there were any survivors up on the seventh floor, knowing that I could move at speeds faster than what I would normally move at. It was going to be ideal for me to go check if I would see anyone there.I turned to the stairs and ran up, every corner leading upstairs was filled with zombies and there was no telling if there was going to be anyone still alive after all that had happened there.I got to the seventh floor and it was a mess, all the desks were turned upside down. I didn’t know what it was that would even make me think that there would be a survivor.“There is no one here, th

Darius put on his clothes and began making his way out of the hospital, he was going to find where he would find a dungeon to raid. He was not going to stand there and watch his sister stay in pain. ‘Finding a dungeon is going to be hard work, I need to make sure that nothing is going to hold me back.’ Darius looked at his hands, he paused when he realized that he didn't even have a simple weapon that he would be able to use to protect himself. He was not going to be able to do anything if he didn't have a weapon to even think of fighting back. ‘I don't even have a mere dagger to fight with what am I going to do?!’ Darius was panicking inside his head, he was not sure what he was going to do and he was looking around to see what he was going to be able to find but there was nothing there. Darius was lost in confusion when the screen came up, it was right in front of him. ‘Notice, head to the dungeon that appeared in the East side of the city where you will face your next task an

It had been two months and Darius had been following the instructions of the system whenever it came up, it not only helped him make his body grow to a different level. It changed his physique and everything about him, he had turned to a different human entirely. He had followed all the instructions and noticed that he had turned into a different warrior, Darius had reached a level of power that he was even thinking of reaching without the system. “Hey, have you seen that guy in the seventh ward?” One of the nurses whispered to another nurse, her face was flushed and bright red. “Yes, I thought he was some scrawny-looking guy but he has been exercising and it seems to be working. He now looks like a drawing in a book I read.” The other nurses shrieked with joy, they were not able to hold themselves back from the joy they felt looking at Darius. They were excited, they didn't know how they were going to be able to control themselves when it came to seeing Darius. Darius was walkin

Darius was filled with fear. He looked around to see that he was in a dungeon filled with Skeleton Warriors who could end him. “What in the world is going on here?!” Darius avoided all the attacks coming his way, but he was not sure how he would be able to block every attack. Darius kept running. He dodged the skeleton warriors' attacks and noticed that they were trying to hit him down. ‘Wait a minute, I don’t know how it was possible to get here. Is it because I ignored the screen?’ Darius looked at the warriors, he dodged another swing from a warrior. Darius looked down to see a skeletal blade by the side, he didn't know what he was going to do but the screen left a message. It told him to make sure he survived. “Here goes nothing!” Darius picked up the blade and tried to block the warrior's blade, he noticed that once his blade hit theirs it shattered it. He was shocked that there was something that he could do with a blade. ‘What in the world is going on?’ Darius was shocke

The dungeon raid was one of the worst in history. Hank had to report it as unsuccessful, and the Department of Raids wrote it down as a fluke. “Why in the world is something like this happening? I thought we had checked that Dungeon and it was recorded as a C-ranked Dungeon. It was not meant to be an uncharted dungeon and from the looks of things the surviving members had a story to tell.” One of the supervisors wanted to know what had happened there but the message he got from Hank. “Yeah, but he went back and he found out that there was one more survivor, but he was unconscious. What's more surprising is that Hank knew that there was no way he would survive, he said he had a hunch about the boy before he went back to check on him.” The other supervisors said as he looked at the report that Hank brought to him. “What is more shocking is the fact that he said that the boy was mutilated in front of him and there was no way he would be able to survive the wounds but oddly it was clea

Everyone was filled with fear the moment they saw what was happening in the dungeon, they were not sure what they were going to see next but it was clear to them that they were not in a C-ranked dungeon and they were in something greater than that. “Stay together, the last thing I want is to lose anyone out of fear or anything like that. So please don't falter and stay close to each other.” Hank was giving orders to make sure that there was no way for him to lose any of his squad members. Darius was filled with fear but he clung close to the team, they had seen the writing on the altar that said prove you are worthy. But then no one understood what they were going to be facing in the dungeon. “How on earth did they mark an Uncharted as a C-ranked dungeon?! We might be in a bloody S-ranked dungeon.” Jean spoke up, he was scared to his witts. Darius could see that everything he had said earlier was different now and he was scared for his life. “I have a daughter and son out there. I
