“It will take a whole lot more than machine guns to kill me, Jonathan and you of all people should know that already.” Oliver sneered back.He adjusted his suit, his eyes glaring around and looking for ways to get Megan out of the place she’s been tied to.Jonathan dashed at him and he swerved before burying his elbow in Jonathan’s back. Megan couldn’t do anything other than watch in awe as Oliver fought Jonathan.She’d thought that she had known everything that she was supposed to about Oliver but she hadn’t seen him in such a serious mood before.Oliver pressed what seemed like an AirPod that he had on and men started trooping in. Megan thought that they came to help Oliver and it wasn’t until they started untying her rope that she eventually got to realize that they came for her.“Take her to my suite, stay with her and I’ll join in approximately….” He checked his wrist watch, “thirty minutes.” He finished.The men wanted to move Megan but she didn’t budge and Jonathan started laug
Sienna eventually got to the bus stop and she sat on the chair she found there before crying her eyes out. She doesn’t get why life is being horrible to her and she thought that it was probably her own bad karma.“Still crying?” Alexa’s voice jolted her out of her thoughts and she turned with teary eyes to look at Alexa who smiled at her.“What are you doing here?” Sienna asked as she sniffled, “did you follow me?” She asked and Alexa nodded.“I guess you could say that,” Alexa smiled, she was waiting for the perfect time to break the news of her departure to her best friend but after what just happened, she had managed to push her flight forward till the next week.“Look, Sienna, you’re a really good person,” Alexa started and Sienna raised an eyebrow, part of her already knew where the conversation was leading to.“You just have to pick yourself back up and move on and forget about your personal vendetta with Oliver.” She added as she took Sienna’s hand in hers.“It’s just so not fa
Her mind wasn’t in one piece, she couldn’t help but feel bad for lying to her best friend and for also aiding someone that she was supposed to turn in for Oliver.The taxi came to an abrupt stop and she looked at the venue in front of her, it was an incomplete building and it was already getting dark too.Fear gripped her as she looked around and there was no sight of anyone, she brought out her phone but it wasn’t until she tried to turn it on that she realized that her phone had been dead.Sighing, she summoned her courage and made her way into the building but the sound of a gun firing caused her to stop right in her tracks as she found somewhere to hide.Are these men really Oliver’s men or just some other people that were after Keith.She placed her palm on her mouth and closed her eyes until she couldn’t hear any gunshot anymore although she was still scared.“There’s no one in here,” one of the men said, his frustration obvious in his voice and it was that moment that Sienna st
“Where am I?” Megan groaned, holding her head as she opened her eyes in a strange area. She tried to look around but her vision was still blurry.She couldn’t remember much from yesterday aside from the fact that Jonathan had knocked Oliver down.“Oliver!” She almost yelled in realization as she tried to stand but her body was still weak so she had no other choice than to remain in bed.Her world was spinning, questions ran through her mind but she had no answers to them because the only thing she could think of was if Oliver was safe.“What is the academy’s decision about Jonathan?” Oliver asked as he took his seat on one of the couches. He’d decided not to disturb Megan so he just left her there until she was awake.“It hasn’t been decided yet, the twelve great grandmasters have been summoned and do you know that Jonathan is a convict?” Lord Tate’s voice resonated from over the phone.“I know.” Oliver sighed, it’s hard for someone like Jonathan to not be a convict but what he didn’t
Oliver paused his food as he took a glance at Megan, he couldn’t tell her the truth because his identity was confidential but he could tell her a little bit of the truth.“They are my men.” Oliver answered, Megan’s eyebrow raised as she waited for Oliver to keep on talking but she might as well just focus on eating her food because Oliver had no plan of saying anything.Silence prevailed as they both ate, Megan still had lots of questions to ask but she decided to keep it to herself and make up her mind that Oliver was going to talk to her if he wanted to.They finished eating and while Oliver wanted to do the dishes, Megan helped and insisted that he leaves the dishes for her.After a while of back and forth and knowing fully well that no matter what he did, she wouldn’t let him do the dishes, he finally decided to let her have it.He made his way to the suite sitting room and picked up his phone to call his secretary. It’s been a while and he wanted to know how things were going ove
“It’s nothing,” Megan said, brushing him off and going back to dressing up. She wanted to leave New Jersey as fast as she could but she couldn’t help but wonder if her family were worried about her.“We’re leaving today, right?” She asked Oliver and he nodded affirmatively. Not wanting to push her for answers, he made his way out of her room and went to get ready himself.It was like what had happened to Megan with Jonathan sort of triggered an old memory and Oliver wanted to find out what it was.He also wanted to respect her privacy and have her tell him all about it whenever she was ready. Shrugging, he pulled off his clothes and wrapped himself with a towel before going to the bathroom but the sound of his phone ringing caused him to come back.“Hello,” He said into the phone as soon as he picked it, it was a call from his secretary and he wasn’t expecting the call but he figured that it might be important.“What’s the matter?” He enquired. The secretary had just left the academy
Sienna and Keith checked into a hotel room with Sienna’s name since Keith had people coming after him and they wouldn’t leave until they were sure that they'd be able to lay their hands on him.Keith's thoughts wandered and all he could think about was the perfect way to get money from Sienna.He knew that she was currently poor at the moment but he also knew that if he found something that she was scared of, something that she doesn’t want the public to know then he could use it to extort money from her.Laying on the bed, he closed his eyes and made up his mind to start digging up things about Sienna tomorrow.Sienna knew that what she was doing was dangerous and if Oliver should find out he wasn’t going to spare her. She needed to do something.Even though she promised Oliver not to betray him, she didn’t say anything about not being able to use her situation for some money.An evil smile formed on her lip and the cab came to a stop as she got out of the car. She went inside the ho
Austin gasped, he couldn’t believe his ears and he knew that since the post of a janitor was what was available, Sienna would definitely ask him to be the one to do it.“Why does it have to be a janitor?” Austin asked, “Couldn’t there be any other available post or I’ll just wait for another opportunity.” He quickly said as he stood to take his leave but Sienna pulled him back.“You’re doing it.” She deadpanned and Austin froze. There was no way that he was going to be a janitor. It was embarrassing especially for someone like him.The sitting room fell silent as Alexa waited for Austin to either claim the post or deny it. She also knew that it wasn’t much but she felt like it was going to at-least get them away from living hand to mouth.Sienna sighed as she sat on the couch before lifting her gaze to meet her mother who was still concentrating on the old newspaper that she had with her.“And if Austin is taking this job then we’ll also have to find something for you too, mom.” She a
