“Don’t be bothered by this dog Andrew’s barkings, Madam Selena,” Hazel comforted her. “He’s definitely dangerous, but I don’t think he’s foolish enough to keep messing with you before the elections.”“Yes, but if he wins the elections, then I’ll be doomed,” Selena worriedly said. “My whole family will be doomed. We’ll all be done for.”“Even if he becomes the president, he won’t be able to touch you since we’ll be siding with his opponents,” Hazel replied. “If someone throws stones at you, you shouldn’t throw them all back at him but must use some of those stones to build a basement under your feet so that you will slowly but surely gain the advantage of height. Once you have enough high ground, you’ll be able to crush him with a deadly blow at once!”Selena pursed her lips together. “I love what you said, but would such a plan be practically possible? Against a presidential candidate, much less against a running president? What if Andrew gets pissed off and conspires with some foreig
The bioscientist Jonathan Egor came to his underground laboratory after talking with Andrew Sehla. His wife, Denise, was waiting for him in the Bluebeam Zone. Zakaria and Cranston were also there, but they were busy interacting with the extremely-realistic holograms of movie stars, though they thought it was a pity that they couldn’t suck blood out of these stars as they were mere holograms. “How is this Andrew guy?” Denise asked. “He’s not aware of how deep the swamp really is,” Jonathan said. “He didn’t go through the trauma in his childhood that most of the other presidents, but… he’ll be useful. Since some change is necessary once in a while, we will make him the president.” “Mm, but I bet he’ll be thinking that he’s going to be the one using you, having no clue that we are the one who’ll be using him,” Denise remarked. Jonathan looked in the direction of Zakaria who was shoving his face in the ass of a female actress’ hologram. “What’s that punk doing?” “You’ve made realisti
Rebecca woke up, only to find herself in her room.“Don’t make any scene,” Louis’ voice reached her. He wasn’t even around, yet his voice could be heard in her head. “I’ve put the casket back in and told others nothing happened, other than that you wanted to see his face once again. They believed it, so act appropriately. We need to find out what’s going on. Until then, confronting your mom or anyone won’t get you anywhere.”Rebecca touched her forehead because it was hurting quite a bit.If she saw either Benjamin’s corpse, or a clone’s body in the casket, it would have been understandable, but there was nothing inside.Rebecca just couldn’t get her head around it. Thinking about it only hurt her head more. She came to her window and kept staring toward the grave.Minutes passed as she put her brain to work. But she could not piece things together. The thought that Brian might be behind this didn’t even cross her mind. After all, Brian was nothing more than a businessman in her mind.
All the police that had left the Sterling villa were found dead at a gangster hideout. It was reported that they got into an argument regarding the shares they should get, and that led to shooting.Andrew went out of his way to post his opinion about this online. “What do you call those who are supposed to serve and protect people end up harassing and abusing them instead? The police that don’t deserve a badge on their shoulders. If I become the president, I will not let these kinds of police be in the system. After all, if the president didn’t want police like these four fools, then the government wouldn’t want them, either. It’s so easy to purify the world when you have power, people, so choose the guy who can do miracles for you, not ones who say one thing but do another thing or nothing at all.”His post received likes in hundreds of thousands, for the public had no idea that Andrew himself was the one behind the death of these police officers.The reality of the situation was exa
Uzza had been in the lower world long enough to know and even sometimes witness all the wicked deeds that vampires so often committed. From kidnapping and sexually abusing to killing and torturing their targets or just innocent civilians, she had seen all the horrors the world had to offer. So, she had no pity on these vampires. No, not one bit. Despite knowing that Louis was a member of the Sterling family, she did not care to spare him, for her disgust toward vampires was just that high. “Don’t think I’ll just kill you and be done with it,” Uzza said. “I’ll find your wife and kids and kill them, too. Children they may be, but they’re still very much capable of ripping other childrens’ hearts out and gorging on them like snacks. I can’t let any humans that turned into cannibalistic monsters live, even if they’re children who still smell of milk. After all, once a monster, they will always pose danger. Like a dog returning to its vomit, they’ll give into their desires whether they
Five-hundred million dollars. This was a number big enough to scare every single soul living in Sterling villa. Jacob was no exception. When they heard what Uzza had to say, they were all left speechless. Nobody even dared to say a word against her recklessly because they still had no idea who exactly she was. Lisa came to tell her grandmother Dorothy about Uzza, “There’s some bear-like lady who says that Uncle Benjamin owes her 500 million. Since he’s not around, she says she’ll take this home in return.” “H-How can she do that?” Dorothy couldn’t believe it. “This house isn’t worth 500 million, Grandma,” Lisa added. “She says that we can stay here for three more months and then move out.” “T-That’s…” Dorothy went speechless. “Mom bought a house not long ago, right?” Lisa added. “We’ll all move into that house.” “How can that house compare to this one?” Dorothy hissed. “We can’t let this house go no matter what. What did Selena say?” “She passed out first, but since waking up,
A few hours had passed since Uzza entered the villa, and Rebecca didn’t wake up yet.Uzza was walking around in the building, and she reached Veronica’s room. She saw Akash who was sleeping next to the bed.Veronica was still tied up, but she requested Uzza in a soft voice, “Please untie me. These people are abusing me.”“One of your eyes is smaller than the other, and your pupil is changing shape” Uzza said, “which means that the eye that got smaller had been infiltrated by a potent parasite. How do I know that it’s not the parasite talking to me right now?”“I will give you whatever you want if you help me,” Veronica said.“Whatever I want, huh…” Uzza smiled. “Will you do everything I tell you to do?”“I will,” Veronica quickly said.Uzza paused for a second and then snapped her fingers. The clothes that were tying her to the bed posts were snapped in two, leaving Veronica a bit speechless.“Don’t get any funny ideas and just follow me,” Uzza said and walked away.“Who is this woman
Veronica brought more than what Uzza asked of her. The items she brought included biscuits and chocolates in addition to coffee.After tasting the coffee, Uzza spit it to the side. “This tastes like crap.” She gave the cup back. “Go and bring me some sweetened almond milk.”Veronica forced out a smile before leaving.Moments later, Selena walked over, not looking that happy because Uzza was treating Veronica like a maid. “You seem to have taken a liking to my youngest daughter?”“I have to rely on someone to get the work done, so…” Uzza calmly replied. “I’m going to reward her appropriately later, so don’t worry too much that I’m making your daughter do labor.”“No, no, I’m fine with it. At least this way, she’s going to do some work,” Selena said, regardless of how she felt inside. “By the way, where do you come from? Do you have a family?”“When I began to explore this world, I met a lady who was almost as old as you are now,” Uzza said, remembering her past. “She lost her husband a
