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.
“I came to see things for myself just to be sure and here you are, standing in front of me.” Hex finished as he supposed in front of Jackson.The sight of the man standing in front of them was funny to Lucian and he couldn’t help but burst out laughing at the sight.He’d thought that he had seen a lot of things after being in China for years but apparently he hasn’t seen enough because the man in front of him is made of iron yet he looks so human.“Are you human or a robot?” He couldn’t help but ask and it was now Oliver’s turn to burst out laughing. The way they were teasing Hex got him angry and as he made his palm into a fist, he hit the ground really hard that everywhere shook.Paul lifted his head to see that Jackson and Lucian were back and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He had asked them to leave and lay low, why did they come back?How were they even able to navigate their way through until they got back to the hospital.“I’m going to guess, you’re Hex?” Oliver a
Megan felt really happy, her heart was at ease and so calm that for a moment she’d forgotten about everything going on in her life.Spending time with her brother seemed like just what she needed and some time without the men hovering over her gave her a sense of peace.“It must be so distracting having those men following you all around like you’re a baby.” Ezra’s voice jolted her out of her thoughts and she smiled.She set her fork down and lifted her gaze to meet Ezra’s, she knew that he didn’t really understand even though he tries to act like he does.She also knew that something was going on with Oliver that he didn’t want to tell her about probably because he thought that it was going to be safe for her.Megan silently prayed and hoped that he was alright, she’d made up her mind to go to the Philippines and find him there but there was no way for her to do that since she had no idea where he was.Did he really go on a vacation with his brother or was there something more to it?
