The sound of his name coming from the man’s mouth almost made Lucian throw his phone away but he needed it.He was going to keep trying until he can get the cloned location out of the way and get the real location but for now he has to focus on the well-being of his brother and those close to him.He had called Jackson’s secretary and asked him to make sure that the security protecting Megan should be doubled because they had no idea where the person was going to be striking from.He also gave him a strict warning to not let Megan know anything about Oliver until he was fine and able to come home.“You’re going in now?” He asked Paul as soon as they got to the door of the ER and Paul nodded. He wished him good luck and waited outside for news.It was like he had been waiting for hours and he’d wanted to barge in but thought that Paul needed to concentrate and he’d be able to do that better if he wasn’t in there.While he waited, he made up his mind to drive to Robin’s house again to s
“W… what?” Lucian stuttered, his legs threatened to be unable to carry him as he staggered, “what happened?” He asked, not sure if he wanted to hear what had happened if it was going to end with how his brother was dead.“I… I don’t know,” Paul answered, his hands were shaking and he was expecting Lucian to do something horrible to him.He was expecting Lucian to hit him but he didn’t do anything. He only sat on the chair right outside Oliver’s ward as he closed his eyes.He held the bottle tightly in his hand and the glow of it caught Paul’s attention. He couldn’t possibly have gone through all those troubles only to come back to a dead brother.Lucian’s head ached so much that he closed his eyes and pressed his temple to reduce the head splitting pain he was feeling in his head but no matter what he did, it didn’t stop.Jackson can’t be dead, not when they have a lot of things to do together. How was he going to break the news to Megan and the people that have formed a bond with his
Megan felt partly relieved that she’d told her brother everything and it felt nice to know that she wasn’t hiding anything from him anymore.She looked at Ezra and he was still stunned by everything that Megan had told him. There were a lot of things that he didn’t want to believe.“All of these happened to you and not one of your family knows about it?” He asked when he was finally able to talk but Megan only smiled.She didn’t intend for any of her family to find out because then they’d make a fuss. She wanted to prove that she could take care of herself and if she couldn’t do it, she had someone who liked her enough to take care of her.“It’s fine,” Megan brushed him off, “as soon as Jackson comes back and if you’re still around, I promise you’ll meet him.” She added.She didn’t want to talk about all of the ugly things that she went through because only then the wounds in her heart were going to open up.She coughed and the pain surged through her entire being. She couldn’t wait t
Lucian and Paul waited patiently for Oliver to wake up and it was taking so long that they both fell asleep. Oliver groaned as he turned on the bed, he opened his eyes wide to see that he’s been restrained.“What’s going on?” He asked as he looked around, everywhere was pitch black and it felt like the hospital had been out of power.Looking around, he tried to find the figure of Lucian and Paul but was instead met with something choking him.He tried to wriggle out of it but the rope was so thin and strong it almost felt like steel. Oliver was unable to do anything because of the restraints and he had no choice but to struggle.He kept kicking air until he felt his leg hit something. Lucian groaned, he’d thought that it was Paul hitting him.“Wake up, fuck!” Oliver thought. He was losing air and he knew that if the pressure on his neck remained, it was only going to be a matter of time before life gets drained out of him.The struggle between Oliver and the unknown man who was trying
The entire room fell silent at once, they weren’t expecting Arthur of all people to be the one out to kill Oliver.They were all in the same academy and while Arthur always moved around with Jonathan, he remained friends with Oliver and they never let anything come between them.“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?!” Lucian asked, his surprise evident in his voice but Arthur’s head fell.He couldn’t lift his head to look at them because he knew the magnitude of his betrayal. They were all one before, what happened?He opened his mouth to speak but nothing could come out of it as he looked down at his feet. He couldn’t tell Oliver and the rest who had sent him or he was going to be killed.“You were trying to kill me,” Oliver added like Arthur didn’t know what he was trying to do, “who sent you?” He asked, knowing fully well that Arthur would never make a decision like that on his own.An uncomfortable silence filled the air as the trio stared at each other before looking at Arthu
The chase between Megan and the car was intense, fear soon engulfed her and she couldn’t stop breathing hard.Her breath soon caught in her chest and her heart raced as she kept looking at the side view mirror to see if she lost the car. Picking up her phone, she desperately went through her contact and stopped when she got to Oliver’s number.She eventually remembered that no matter how much she called him, his number wasn’t going to get through and the car was catching up to her. She looked back and her eyes widened in fear.Closing her eyes, she stepped on the gas harder than she did the first time as she sped on the highway. It felt like she was the only one on the road and wanted to turn back but her fear wouldn’t let her.The sound of her phone ringing jolted her out of her thoughts and she saw the caller ID boldly, she was glad to know that her brother was the one calling her and she wondered why she didn’t think of him.“Ezra!” She called as soon as she picked up the call, “I
“I say we kill him right here right now,” Lucian said, still not understanding why his brother was choosing to keep Arthur alive.“We can’t kill him, he doesn’t have a choice, they have his fiancée and if he doesn’t kill me, they’re going to kill her.”“Him.” Arthur corrected and Lucian and Oliver’s head quickly turned in his direction as they both raised an eyebrow.They never saw it in him or thought he could turn out to be gay but that's besides the point right now and what they should be worrying about right now.It felt as though something clicked and Lucian suddenly remembered Robin, he pondered on whether or not he should tell Oliver because he hadn’t quite recovered yet but kept it to himself.He was going to say something about it as soon as he’s sure that Oliver is strong enough but for now, they have to find the grandmaster that’s betraying them and wants Oliver dead.The sight of Oliver untying Arthur put a halt to Lucian’s thought and he quickly rushed to his brother’s sid
“What?” Oliver almost yelled, stopping in his tracks and turning to face Lucian, “since when and how do you know?” He asked. “I don’t know how long it’s been but I just got to know about it yesterday when I went to see her about what to do,” Lucian explained.Oliver couldn’t believe that Robin had been kidnapped, he sat on the bed and closed his eyes before groaning frustratedly.How many times would the people after him keep going after the people he loves or has grown to like? First it was Megan getting kidnapped by Jonathan and now it’s Robin, the one person who had saved his life multiple times.“How did you know?” Oliver asked with a sigh, he needed to do something to get Robin out of whatever trouble she might be in because the lady thing he can afford is losing.“I went over there and I got to know that she was already trying to find a way to neutralize the virus,” Lucian explained and then went ahead to tell Oliver about how he saw a message on the door and then on the phone.
