Oliver was shocked, it was as though a bomb had just landed on him because there was no way he would have been out for two weeks when he merely thought that he was sleeping.“What do you mean I’ve been in a coma for two weeks?” He asked again but Lucian only sighed as he had nothing more to say.“What about the mission? I’m sure we completed it and what did the grandmaster say?” Oliver asked as he tried to stand from the bed but he was still too weak so he ended up laying back on the bed.Questions ran through his mind and when he thought about Megan his chest tightened. How was he going to just call her and talk to her?He needed to come up with an explanation but he didn't know what to say or explain to her and even though Lucian had told him that he was unconscious, he still found it somewhat difficult to believe.“You shouldn’t worry yourself too much about all of that,” Lucian’s voice jolted him out of his thoughts and he turned his head to look at his brother.“We succeeded with
The door to Oliver’s room opened and he opened his eyes to see the doctor. Oliver’s eyes brightened because it’s been long since he last saw the doctor.“I’m sorry, Jonathan,” the doctor apologized, his voice was low and his head was hung low as he tried to avoid Oliver’s gaze. He feels like he had disappointed Oliver by not being able to treat him.Oliver smiled and instead of accepting his apology, he asked if that was the way the doctor was going to say hello to an old buddy.“I was expecting a more welcoming ‘welcome back to life’ but what do I get?” Oliver sighed and the doctor couldn’t help but burst out laughing.“A nasty ‘I’m sorry I couldn’t save your life, Jonathan’? C’mon Paul I know you were going to save me if you could, this one is just out of your hands.” Oliver said reassuringly.While Lucian was sent to China, Oliver remained in the academy for a while and through his stay, Paul had always been the one treating him which made both their bonds grow strong.Paul, the do
“What does he mean we got a clone?” Oliver asked Lucian, not wanting to believe that he went through all those troubles with his brother for nothing.“I’m just as surprised as you are,” Lucian responded, he was sure that he packed the real USB drive and carefully stowed it away before giving it to one of the grandmasters.Oliver and Lucian sat in silence, both of them thinking about how they made such a big mistake without knowing about it.Lucian kept thinking back but the more he did, the difficult it got for him to remember anything. He recalled that he woke up in a hospital the next day and the doctor told him that he’d passed out.“I made sure to hand it over to grandmaster Nick.” Lucian growled but Oliver knew that blaming themselves and trying to backtrack won’t really help at the moment, what they should be doing by now is sketch a new plan and they won’t let anyone know about it.Oliver’s mind drifted home and he didn’t realize how much he missed Megan until now. He asked Luc
“You fucking son of a bi—“ Lucian didn’t get to finish his sentence because Oliver pressed his palm on his mouth to stop him from saying anything else.Lucian struggled to get away from Oliver’s hold but he couldn’t. He didn’t want to just stand back and listen to someone threaten his brother.“It will take a lot more than Dark Kiss to kill me,” Oliver smiled confidently, “you can daydream about killing me as much as you like and I will even advise you not to miss the opportunity when you get it because if you do…” Oliver’s voice trailed off as finally moved his hand from Lucian’s mouth.“I won’t think twice before I finish you off myself.” Oliver finished before hanging up the call and as they made their way out of the hospital room the doctor also came to them.He was panting really hard and it looked like he knew something. He was scared and the last thing he wanted right now was to let Oliver leave the hospital room.The doctor was sure that something bad was bound to happen to hi
“How is he? Is he fine? There’s no problem?” Arianna bombarded Megan with tons of questions after she’d dropped the call.Megan wanted to answer, she wanted to say that nothing was wrong and she was sure of it but she wasn’t so sure.She could feel it in her guts that something was wrong with Oliver and he wasn't telling her what was going on.She wished she could help, she wished she wasn’t so useless especially now that she has a lot of things that she needed to tell him.“He said he’s fine but I can’t just shake off the feeling that something is wrong with him,” Megan finally responded after a while of silence.“I know that he’s not fine but he’s not telling me anything.” She finished with a sigh as she walked out of the bathroom.Her sickness was getting worse and now that she knows what was causing it, she has no idea if she should be happy or sad that something like this had happened between her and Oliver.How was she going to tell him? What would be his reaction when she final
The revelation shook Ezra to the core and knowing that there was no way that conversation would be held over the phone, he quickly sent his address to his sister and asked her to come meet him.He was staying in a hotel and his intention was to surprise his sister but he ended up being the one surprised with the sudden news.Megan got dressed and ready to meet her brother. Her phone chimed and she didn’t need a soothsayer to tell her that it was the address her brother had sent to her.“Hopefully Ezra is going to make sure you don’t make a stupid decision.” Arianna smiled just before Megan left the house.It’s been a while since she went out and she’d completely forgotten about the men outside. On her way to her car she saw Oliver’s secretary and a knot tightened in her chest.He didn’t look like he had good news to share with her, it was almost like something bad had happened.“Madam,” the secretary smiled at her and she quickly returned with a nervous smile, “I was coming to see you
Megan’s car stopped, she looked at her surroundings to be sure that she was in the right building and it didn’t take long for her brother to come out.“Megan!” He called as he ran in her direction but he was stopped by the men guarding her. Shocked, he allowed himself to be searched before he walked to Megan who was still trying to explain the fact that Ezra is her brother and he wouldn’t hurt her.Ezra looked around and was taken aback by the fleet of cars that came with his sister to the hotel. He could recall quite well that Megan left the house with nothing but a box of her clothes.How come she now has lots of men protecting her.“I’m so sorry, Ezra,” she apologized but he only raised an eyebrow to indicate that she was going to explain everything to him.“I’ll tell you everything, let’s just go inside.” She suggested and with a smile since he misses his sister, he started leading her in but stopped when he realized the men were following her.“Actually guys,” Ezra started with a
The question rang bells in Sienna’s head. She had never gotten so desperate that she would have to kidnap someone but there’s always a first time for everything, right?She never even thought that she could hurt someone to get what she wants but once, she’d almost poisoned Megan.She wanted to tell Keith that she was in but the risk of being caught by Oliver himself played in her head and the more she thought about it, the harder it was for her to decide.“How do you plan to go about it?” She asked Keith who only shrugged before telling her that he hadn't really thought much of it.“I only wanted to let you know and then we’ll make the plans together.” He explained. He might really have the intention to kidnap Megan for money but there was more than that going on in his head.He could plan it all with Sienna, she can find ways to make it easy for them to get Megan but that’s where everything could get tricky.He just needs her to say that she was in and he knows that everything else w
