"Already eight?" Jia whispered to herself, glancing at the clock adorning her office wall. With a slight sigh, she packed her belongings into her luxurious bag.

Just before leaving her spacious office, she stole another glance at the clock; it now read 8:04 pm. The day had seemingly flown by, leaving her with a sense of its brevity. "A fast day, indeed," she mused.

As she walked through the corridor connecting her office to the reception area, an unexplainable unease tugged at her subconscious. Something felt amiss, causing a tingling sensation down her spine.

Her keen eyes scanned the surroundings, and she quickly noticed the unusual hush that had settled upon the usually bustling hall, especially at this time of day. It should be normally abuzz with hospital staff, this corridor was eerily devoid of any soul, leaving her feeling both perplexed and slightly unnerved.

He did this because he wanted to make the most of the time he had with Mr. Black. "Uh... Thanks. Mr. Black said with a mocking tone of sarcasm, "I paid for it."Lucas was aware that Mr. Black was being sarcastic, but he chose to ignore it because there was already a great deal for him to be concerned about at the moment. In addition to that, he was too excited to find out what the future held for their new collaboration."Anyway..."

'What does a man have to do to liven up this place?'Little did he know that his wish was about to come true.

Just one pull of the trigger from Rocky, and Arnold knew he was dead meat.No! He couldn’t let that happen. Infact this whole thing was not supposed to be happening in the first place."Mr Black…" Arnold breathed, shaking his head in utter disbelief, "Is this really you? What the actual fuck is going on? How and what are you doing h…”Mr Black cut in, asking calmly. “You mean to ask me what I’m doing here? Is that even a goddamn question?

    As Lucas administered punch after violent blow to the man who was lying hopelessly on the ground, he could feel his heart hammering in his chest. The victim was unable to defend himself.Lucas paid no attention to the cut that ran across the man's cheek or the blood that dripped from it, which stained both his shirt and his jeans. Instead, he drove his fist into the man's ribs as hard as he could with every bit of muscle he possessed. Each blow he delivered was propelled by wrath and despair, and he felt the weight of the situation crushing down on him like an insurmountable load.

The place was a maze of steel and concrete.A regal refinery stood big and strong at the center of it, resembling an old castle in appearance. Its chimneys were practically piercing the skies and were meant to be emitting plumes of steam that blended with the clouds, giving the ap

    “You should know that there is nothing about that individual that is particularly impressive. The fact that a fine-ass women line you is all stuck up in his ass makes me question why.” Lucas said while giggling and turning the revolver he was holding in his hand."Arnold and I go way back, and he has absolutely no redeeming qualities." Even to the point of being unable to care for himself. He is haunted only by the thought of his own demise, having lost everything else.

    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.

    "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.

    "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.
