Everyone drew closer as Fiona began describing the Uber driver.

“Now that I think about it, he didn’t look much like an Uber driver. He had a huge tattoo which spanned the entirety of his left arm, and he looked really menacing.”

Detective Kenji scribbled furiously on his notepad.

“We’ll need the services of a sketch artist, your lordship. I’ll arrange for one to be sent here right after she’s done with her statement.”

“Of course.” Lord George agreed. “But let’s listen to her first.”

“Five minutes into the ride, I began to get a really weird feeling about him. I mean, he kept staring at me through the mirror and he made at least three strange phone calls all saying the exact same thing.”

“Which was?” The detective asked.

Fiona screwed up her face like she was trying to remember something.

“I recall he kept talking about an airfield and warehouse.”

“At what point did you realise you were his captive?” Kenji inquired.

“Well, I never realised that. He did drive me to the airport but tha

    Lord George stared open-mouthed at the doctor, shock and disbelief written all over his features.“What on earth are you talking about, Doctor? What do you mean by that?”The doctor handed a sheaf of papers to him and Lord George grabbed them with shaky fingers.“I have no idea how this happened, your lordship, but it appears that Luke and Fiona did have sexual intercourse during captivity. More tests are still being conducted on Luke, of course, so we don’t have all the answers yet.”Lord George stared at the paper in his hands, the dread in his stomach growing bigger with every second that ticked by.“Impossible.” He whispered. “How the hell did this happen?”“I’m sorry, sir. We’ll try to get you all the information you need very soon.”Lord George gave the doctor a hard look and thrust the paper back into his hands.“I do not need any other form of confirmation, Doctor, because I know that my son is not a rapist and neither would he willingly have sex with Fiona.

    “I'm sorry, sir, but we will not discharge you tomorrow.” The doctor argued for the umpteenth time. “You’re not fit enough to leave the hospital just yet. You need at least a week of intensive care.”Luke stared at him, obviously appalled.“A week?” The thought of staying confined to this bed for the next hour did not appeal to him at all. How then was he supposed to survive another full week in this place?“Aren’t there any means by which the treatments can be hastened? I have things to do and I need to be out of here soon.”The doctor shook his head.“We’re already giving you the most speedy form of medical treatment money can afford. There’s nothing we can do beyond this.”Totally defeated, Luke sank into his pillows as the doctor checked on his drip and subsequently left. His phone had been fixed and brought to him earlier on. He’d already tried Nina’s number several times, but she rejected all his calls. The urge to fly down to London right away and erase the horrible thought s

    The plane finally landed in London at thirty minutes past six PM, which meant work was over for the day. Luke was greatly disappointed because he’d been looking forward to surprising Nina at the office.Tomorrow then, he thought.When they arrived at the airfield, two black, sleek SUVs were already waiting for them. Luke and his grandfather immediately approached the first one. Just as he was about to climb into the car, Luke saw Fiona walk to the passenger door.“Hey. Where do you think you’re going?” He asked, his brows already furrowed with annoyance.Fiona lifted one shoulder.“Um… I’m getting in the car. I'm staying at your place, remember?”Luke closed his door and turned to face her fully.“You stay at my place? Really? Have you forgotten that your father went back home and your mother followed suit after the police were done questioning her? There’s no one waiting for you at the cottage, Fiona. Your own parents are tired of your little games and had to opt out and go home. Yo

    Luke stared at the scene before him, blood whooshing loudly in his ears as his heart boiled with rage.He took one step into the room and the bastard, Steve, leapt away from Nina immediately, a look of fear crawling into his cowardly eyes.“I asked a question.” He growled. “What the hell is going on in here?”“Uh… sir… I mean boss — I mean, your lordship…” Steve stuttered as Luke advanced towards him. “This is a misunderstanding, I promise. I can explain.”Luke’s fingers curled into fists and his eyes darkened with annoyance. “Start explaining, then. Start fucking explaining.”“Luke, calm down.” Nina pleaded, her voice ringing with urgency. “Nothing happened. You need to calm down.”Luke ignored her. He was way too furious at the moment. He did not want to shout at Nina or say anything hurtful towards her. So he focused on eliminating his target. Steve Michaelson.Steve pressed himself against the nearest cabinet, sweating buckets as Luke came to a stop directly before him.“I thought

    Nina folded her arms and stared at Luke, her pretty face radiating annoyance.“Come on in, Nina. I’d like to speak with you.”“If this is about what happened at the club, then I’m not the least bit interested in listening to what you have to say.”Her words cut through Luke like a knife and he shut his eyes for a moment, praying to the heavens for patience.When he looked at her once more, his face was a hard, stoic mask.“I must say that I’m extremely disappointed in you, Nina.”Her eyes narrowed in surprise.“Shouldn’t that be my line?”Luke ignored her snide remark and walked to his table, leaning against it.“You read a text which Fiona supposedly sent to you, a text which clearly stated that we were together… and you instantly lost every iota of trust you had in me? You didn’t wait to listen to what I had to say, you even refused to listen to grandpa. Instead, you packed your bags and turned your back on me at the time I needed you the most.”Nina ignored the seed of guilt which

    Luke stared at the detective, completely frozen to his seat as shock waves coursed through his system.“What the hell are you talking about, Detective? My mother died when I was just a child. She got killed in an accident with my father.”McGregor nodded.“And what exactly did your grandfather say about their bodies? Were they recovered?”Luke hesitated.“Only my father’s body was found. They buried him at an exclusive cemetery not too far from here.”“And your mother?” The detective insisted. “What happened to her?”“Well, according to grandpa, her body was never found. The rescuers said she must’ve hurtled off the cliff during the accident. They searched for days and weeks but still couldn’t find her.” McGregor leaned in closer.“It might interest you to know that rescuers can always be wrong.” He retrieved a piece of paper from his pocket and gently placed it on Luke’s table.“That’s the information I could deduce from the recording. At some point, my hackers got blocked off when

    “Luke! Oh God, what happened?”Luke lifted his head to see Nina running in his direction. He didn’t know why, but relief flooded his system the moment he saw her beautiful face.He rose from the uncomfortable waiting room sofa and held out his arms to her, silently asking for a hug. Without hesitation, Nina lunged against his chest and he proceeded to bury his face in her hair, breathing in her comforting, familiar scent.“I’m so sorry.” She whispered. “What happened? Are you okay?”After making sure he wasn’t going to fall apart, Luke let go of Nina and she eased backwards, staring up at him.Was he okay? The truth was that he was still pretty much shaken. Although the doctors had managed to stabilise his grandad and ensure that he was out of danger, the image of the old man choking with a towel wrapped around his neck was going to live with him forever.“Yes, I’m fine.” He muttered gruffly. “I’m okay.”She took his hand and gently eased him into the chair.“What did the doctors sa

Her date with Luke was by nine o’clock and it was twenty minutes past the hour of eight already. If she wasn’t able to make a choice soon, she’ll be late.Finally, she found the perfect dress and hurriedly put in on, then she set about curling her hair and perfecting her makeup.By ten minutes to the hour of nine, Nina was primed, polished and glowing… and she was very positive that she looked like a million dollars.A car came for her five minutes later just as Luke promised. The driver held the door open for her and soon, they were speeding down the highway.“Where are we going?” Nina asked him a few minutes into the ride.He flicked a glance in her direction through the rearview mirror. “My apologies, Ms., but I’m not allowed to tell you that.”Nina’s nervousness and excitement increased as she imagined all the cool, incredible places that Luke could s

After a long year of legal battles, the court finally announced their sentence today, bringing months of crime and criminal conspiracy to an end…”A sense of satisfaction settled over Luke’s heart as he watched clips of Fiona, her mother and David being led into a police van, already handcuffed. Fiona was screaming and crying while David and Mrs. Carmichael lowered their heads to avoid being captured by the cameras.Beside Luke, Nina, his five months pregnant wife, snuggled deeper against his side, placing her small hands atop his chest.“It’s finally over.” She whispered, her gentle voice already soothing his soul. “It’s really over.

    For five long seconds, a thick blanket of silence reigned in the room. Lord George stared at Nina in shock, obviously unable to believe his ears. Lucas’ expression was filled with awe while Fiona and her mother looked like they’d just been forced to swallow a bowl full of fart.“Luke, she’s lying. This bitch is lying to you. I didn’t bribe the doctor. How could I do that when I didn’t even know the hospital until you took me there? How can I betray you like that?” She sniffed and hiccuped, looking every bit the victim.Mrs. Carmichael was enraged.“All you’ve done for the past few minutes is go around yapping that little mouth of yours and spewing lies.” She spat at Nina. “Where’s your evidence, huh? You’re claiming that my daughter bribed the doctor. Where’s your goddamn evidence, you shameless homewrecker?!”“If you’re looking for evidence, don’t ask her. Ask me.”Everyone turned towards the door, searching for the owner of the new voice.Mrs Carmichael’s face dampened with fear an

Get out of my way.” She snapped angrily.“And what the hell do you think you’re doing?” Nina countered, folding her arms.Fiona raised her chin.“I was just about to introduce Luke to his son and heir before you rudely interrupted. As you know, my Cameron is a bonafide member of this family. You’re not. Therefore you have no right to be here. Why don’t you just give up on your plans to destroy my marriage, Nina? Can’t you see that you’re already failing?”Nina smirked.“Since we’re all here and you seem to have so much to say today, Fiona, why don’t we play a little game?”Luke stared at the back of Nina’s head with confusion.

He tried to open his eyes but his eyelids seemed to be glued shut.“His vitals seem okay but he’s no longer responding to treatment. I’m afraid his coma might become worse. His injuries are nothing like we’ve ever seen before.”He heard noises above him and tried to alert whoever it was to the fact that he was actually awake. He tried to blink or even move his finger, but his body refused to listen to his brain as usual.“I’m sorry but you and your family will have to consider taking him off life support. I don’t mean to be pessimistic but it doesn’t look like he’ll get any better than this.”His heart tightened with panic as he listened to the doctor go on and on about how he’ll never recover. Someone was crying in the room. He could hear the whimpers. Her whimpers.He struggled to stay awake for a moment longer but his brain was spi

    THREE MONTHS LATERThe day was dark and gloomy. Rydling soldiers and Elders gathered around the glass casket, their faces pinched in tight frowns.“We’re gathered today to celebrate the one person who sacrificed his life to save all of us. We’re here to witness the end of the reign of our chosen one.” Elder Tomako said quietly.“We watched him fight a good fight. Now, it’s time to bid him farewell. We tried our possible best to bring him back, but I believe this is really the end of the road for our hero. Lower the casket.”The casket was lowered by four heavily built soldiers into the already dug earth. The moment it touched the ground, the death bells started ringing.The forlorn sounds of the bell were followed by flashes of lightning and the deep, rumbling sounds of thunder. That was the king of the Rydlings himself, saying goodbye to his chosen one. The Chosen One had fought a good fight. Now, it was time for him to rest eternally.

    THE END OF HIS REIGN***Have you ever gotten the feeling that you’re about to die and no one can save you even if they tried?Have you ever looked death straight in the eyes?That was all that went through Luke’s mind as he stared at the red eyes of the demon-beast before him. His knees and heart quaked with fear and blood whooshed loudly in his ears.Luke knew he was powerless without his amulet. Even if he’d trained for physical combat, those skills wouldn’t be of any significant help against Malcolm.Malcolm took a step forward and Luke gulped in deeply.“I heard Rydling had chosen a weakling to save his people.” He growled, his voice dripping with disgust. “I thought my people were bluffing. But looking at you, I guess they weren’t.Which makes me wonder why my own brother would, out of the millions of experienced and well-trained soldiers at his disposal, choose a good-for-nothing scaredy-cat to lead a war against me.” Malcolm burst into loud, booming laughter. “I mean, what w

    A month later…Something was coming. Luke could feel it.For the past month, his anxiety rate had tripled. During the day, he felt followed, stalked. At night, he felt watched.. He could barely sleep these days. His amulet glowed all night and he was pretty certain he’d heard whispers in the dark two nights ago. The hairs on the back of his neck stood at attention. His guts burned with suspicion. There was something wrong somewhere.Something was coming. Something dark…and very, very ugly.****“Focus, Luke. Focus! Channel your amulet’s power. If you’re distracted, the enemy will definitely find an opening to strike.”Luke took a deep breath, trying to calm his raging nerves. Today’s training was on mobility. His ability to dodge the strikes of evil spells or possibly, gun shots from the enemy.“There’s an unwritten rule that guns are banned from all supernatural wars but Malcolm’s followers are evil. We should not underestimate their inclination to cheat.” Elder Tomako had said ea

If you can do that, the amulet would do anything you want. Close your eyes and feel the magic. Command it.”Luke shot his eyes and focused. Gradually, he felt the familiar energy begin to build. His amulet glowed and throbbed against his chest, sending spurts after spurts of power through his entire frame.He chanted the power codes he was taught throughout his first month of training and the tips of his finger began to burn. “Ancient spirits please arise. Lend your power and your might. Victory over my enemies, I pray thee. Ancient spirits please arise!”Finally, the energy within him became so powerful, shards of dangerous light shot through his fingers and sliced all the targets in front of him, reducing them to puffs of dust.The room erupted into a flurry of explosions and the stench of smoke filled the air.Whe

    “How did you kill him?” Luke asked as they both settled down on the Italian sofa.Lucas’ expression became guarded.“Well, turns out, grandpa isn't the only person Edoardo was indebted to. The bastard was involved with a lot of shady people. He gambled a lot and lost loads of cash in the process.Unfortunately, he borrowed money from an organisation that doesn’t believe debtors should walk around scot free.”A slight chill crawled up Luke’s spine at Lucas’ dark expression.“What organisation was that?”Lucas took a few seconds too long to reply and Luke instantly knew that Edoardo had fallen into deep, deep shit before his death.“Edoardo borrowed money from the Russian crime syndicate. The Bratva.”Luke froze as shock shot through his entire system. “D-did you just say…?”Lucas nodded.“Yes. Unfortunately for him, he borrowed half a million dollars from them and couldn’t pay back after a period of six months like he’d promised.”Luke's heart thumped wildly as he asked;“How did they
