Vera's face held an ample amount of shock. She couldn't hold it in. She let it flow from within through to her face.

Was she seeing clearly? Or had she gone crazy and was now hallucinating?

Her ex, Arnold was standing in front of her. But, something wasn't right about him. He didn't look like what he was supposed to look like. He didn't look slim and hopeless, like the Arnold she'd left at the altar. No. He looked like an upgraded version of him.

She looked down from embarrassment at the situation he was finding her in.

Something clicked within her; it was the same audacity that had made her shout at the sales clerk without care, not minding who was watching her.

She finally got the questios out of her mouth after trying severally. "Arnold? What are you doing here?"

She looked at him now, her eyes clearly taking in his outfit. He didn't just look different, he dressed different. His suit looked like it had come right out of a magazine cover. He looked like he had come right out of a m

    "What the actual fuck?" Arnold cursed under his breath."If you really want to buy the stock, you gotta pay the money," one of the three investors said, derision dripping through his voice."But, I don't have that amount. I can pay half of that," the business man they were discussing with begged."I don't think you're ready to buy the stocks. Maybe you should take a walk out of here and return when you're ready," another of the big three investors added.Arnold balled his hands into fists. The more he listened to them, the more annoyed he got in his spirit.From his vantage point, shrouded in darkness, he watched them now, trying to get as much of their physical description as he could.

"I'll stay back and have a drink or two at the bar. But, on one condition.""Tell me," the young man said. "If it's something I can do, which it most likely is, I'll do it."He looked towards where the girl was seated now. "Who's that stunning lady over there?"The young man immediately clicked his fingers. "Nah. She's off limits. A serious no-go-area. See that man she walked in with?"Arnold nodded. Of course, he'd seen the big man."That's her lover. And he's one of the owners of the club.

Not long after that, his father died and so, he was left in the care of his grandparents.

    How did it ever come to this?Larry was disgusted and angry at himself. Even after he knew the truth, these emotions still twirled within him and made him feel unlike himself, his decision was clouded. He truly had a friend for the first time and he wanted to consider the possibility of this being a coincidence. And that Arnold did not approach him on purpose and that this was all by chance.But even if he did that, it wouldn't change the fact that he and Arnold are arch enemies and one is to die fighting the other. They were two sides of a coin and could not exist at the same time.Larry felt Arnold knew this, he understood it very well and still he approached him.

That was what made her raise her head to look.Her eyes widened as she watched it happen: — Like a bizarre miracle of biological restoration, the torn tissues reknit, the damaged neurons rewired, and the shattered bone melded back into place.The gunshot wound on Arnold's head had completely disappeared, and his cold body was getting warm, she quickly moved her hand to his wrist to feel his pulse, and her eyes widened wit

    "How? How?? How??!! How are they here? Isn't that darned Larry outside?! Did he let them in?!" Lucas shook with fear, his guess was that Larry had decided to throw him away.The harsh truth was – they stood no chance against this overwhelming might and number of henchmen.The executives had immediately rallied all the gang members, regardless of where they were, all of them were to meet at the location and what was fifty to one was now a situation of fifty to two hundred."Arrrgghhh!! Damn it!! Attack them!! Tear them apart!!" Lucas commanded. But he didn't know those he was about to deal with, with their boss laying lifeless on the ground, rage burned in them like a volcano, they growled like wild animals and with a loud shout, they also moved and thus began the chaos.As the conflict began, mayhem reigned, and the air resonated with an ensemble of violence.Fists flew with almost preternatural accuracy, while kicks landed with balletic grace.Men carried weapons of unalterable tena

    "Hey... I've given some consideration to what John had to say. This time, haven't we gone a little bit too far?After John had finished speaking, the mood in the room became extremely gloomy. Everyone appeared as if they had completely lost their enthusiasm, and until the bald guy spoke, all of their heads were hanging low in shame."Yes, I am aware of it, but how could any of us have realized what our manager was going through? The boss has never exhibited any symptoms of illness. He never loses his composure and always stays in charge.""And it's possible that this was the reason why he did that." Another possibility was mentioned.They all turned their attention to him and raised their heads."Let's be honest with ourselves, ever since we were subdued by the boss and he started leading us, he had been the one looking out for us more than we did for him. He had been the one looking out for us more than we had done for him. Are you referring to our families? Even when we were being

  • Heartfelt Conversations Or Not

    As Arnold stepped out of his car and started walking forward, he noticed that his leg felt heavy. To his left, in the property of the abandoned warehouse, was parked a nice Chevrolet automobile; not that he gave a damn about the car or its owner, but it was parked there anyway.At this moment, he was simply so preoccupied with other things.As he approached the front of the warehouse, there were guns pointed in his direction. After determining that he was unarmed and doing a search on him, one of the guys got closer to him. After the search, they tied his hand behind his back and pulled him inside in a disrespectful manner."Ahaaaaa!!!" When Lucas saw Arnold being shoved in front of the enormous entryway, he immediately let out an excited exclamation."You have made it! Finally!! We are in complete agreement with one another. He said this while getting closer to Arnold and hugged him tightly before tapping him on the back. After that, he stepped back.“Where is my fiancee?” Arnold g

  • Considering Costs

    Arnold most certainly did not consider the consequences of taking this course of action, or at the very least, before making the choice to adore Jia with every fiber of his being. But who could really hold it against him? When love hits, it strikes harder than any fist, and when it bonds someone, it binds them stronger than even the toughest cords.Jia was willing to accept him in spite of the things he does and how dangerous they are, and despite the fact that he never gave any of this any thought or trouble to think about it, she still selected him every time. Arnold never gave any of these any consideration or bother.However, as a direct result of that, he has caused her a great deal of harm. Arnold did not know whether he was going to be able to face Jia if she ended up losing her pregnant kid on top of everything else that had happened to her. Jia had previously lost her father. After that, he was unsure whether or not he would have the courage or the right to tell her that h
