2024-08-27 14:32:48Suddenly, Mariana felt something dripping from her nostril. She didn't notice at first because she was enjoying tormenting Slade.
When she realised, her eyes widened. There was blood pouring from both of her nostrils.
She shuddered, cupping her palms to her nose to stop the blood from ruining her gown.
There was a tornado of headache in her head. Her head hurt so bad that she almost thought that her skull would crack open.
"What's happening to me? My head hurts!" Mariana exclaimed.
Slade was filled with extreme anger and sadness. It seemed like the more she opened her mouth to speak, the more malevolent and eviller she sounded.
Was this the same girl he had dated almost all his life and almost gave his life away for?
Was this really the same Mariana he loved so much?
Was this the same Mariana who promised never to leave his side?
Slade couldn't wrap his head around this. This was just too preposterous and unbelievable to be true! So it happened that she was no any different from her parents.
She obviously was not forced to choose Vixton. She has willingly and proudly chosen Vixton over Slade.
Slade was still very uneasy. The flow of energy in his body was fluctuating, raging, and rippling.
She was not worth it, right?
Slade took a deep breath, forcing himself to stay calm.
As soon as he started to let the foul emotions go, he realised that the nosebleed of Mariana stopped.
It was at this moment that he realised that her nosebleed and headache must have been associated with his loss of temper and deep anguish. She must also have been suffering for the fact that he was in this bad state of mind.
This was the first day of Slade coming out of prison! He didn't really get in contact with a lot of people while he was in prison. The fact that he even chose to be friends with Niel Rim-Adon made matters worse, and the inmates avoided him, too!
Getting out of prison meant that he was exposed to the world and would come in contact with so many people. Coming in contact with people while he was in distress helped him discover more perks about the powers and abilities he gained in prison.
Although he had perfected all the skills and abilities in prison, yet he has not tested all of them yet. He was impressed and surprised to discover this new aspect of his powers. But he didn't let this get into his head. There were still a lot more powerful things he could do!
Mariana cleaned the residual of the blood in her nose. The scarf that she had picked from the side of the chair was already soaked.
As soon as she wiped her nose, she lifted her gaze at Slade. Her eyes still held enough hatred and disgust towards Slade!
She could not suspect that the nosebleed and headache were related to Slade.
But she still hated him for being there.
"Leave! Leave right now!" She yelled at Slade, “You fucking harbinger of badluck! Get the fuck out of my sight before this place catches fire like your father's mansion!”
Slade had given her so many moments to redeem herself. He had intentionally been silent for a couple of times, thinking perhaps she would realise how senseless and evil she sounded.
Yet, every time, she blew the opportunity to see her mistakes!
She just decided to turn blind eyes to her wrongdoings.
She didn't see anything wrong in the way she was treating him! She believed he deserved it!
Mariana continued to glare at him viciously.
"You won't leave, huh?" She struggled to pick something out of her bag.
She brought out some hundred-dollar bills and started to throw them at Slade.
She was hurling the bills like stone at his face.
"You must still be here because you are broke! You don't have anywhere to go?! Take some money! Pick them up! You will need them! Pick them and go! So that you won't starve and sleep on the street!" She continued to throw money at him.
Slade felt extremely disheartened at this point. His head became blank.
Could anyone on earth outdo her in being so evil and malicious?!
"Take some more! Take this money for going to prison. Take them all. Pick the money up and leave!" She ordered.
"Mariana." Slade said softly, but the aura that exuded from him shut her lung!
She couldn't even say a word even though she wanted to.
"You will look back at today and wish you could take back your words." Slade warned. "But it'll be too late at that time. Because regret will be the least of your worries." He promised, then turned to leave.
Immediately he turned and started to walk away, Mariana found her voice again.
"Bullshit!" She spat at his back. "Marrying someone like you would have been my biggest nightmare!" She curled in disgust.
"How did he even survive in prison?" She muttered in a low tone, "I made sure he would die there."
When Slade walked out of the waiting room, he saw Candyce standing directly by the door. He didn't say any word to her. He had almost forgotten that she was waiting here for him because of the deep anguish and wild rage.
When Candyce noticed that his face was flushed in anger, she didn't bother to interrogate him or anything as such. She was quite perceptive, just judging by the look on his face.
She followed him from behind as Slade led the way out of that area of the Cathedral.
"Where are you going right now? Do you want to attend the wedding?" She asked.
Perhaps I will. Slade thought.
He needed to see by his eyes when Mariana was truly in his past.
Slade shut his eyes for a while as he walked on. Then he took in a deep breath.
He couldn't let foul feelings that sprouted from the meeting with her further dictate how he would feel for the rest of the day.
"I promised your father that I would come and check his health status and treat him. Take me to your villa." He asked of her.
Candyce didn't say a word. She just moved her head softly, then concentrated.
At the entrance of the church, a man was seen walking towards Slade and Candyce.
When Slade saw the man, he ignored and wanted to keep pn working. Slade couldn't do this. The man had walked to his front and was now standing in his way.
The man was dressed in a well-tailored three pieces suits.
The suit not only looked high-end, but it looked like a limited-edition designed for a specific purpose.
The shoes did quite a justice to the tone of the attire and the luxury of the entire idea.
He was wearing a diamond wristwatch.
Vixton Langley.
"Are my eyes playing tricks on me?"
Vixton muttered as soon as he stopped right in front of Slade.

Slade didn't bother to want to leave. If he wanted to, he could shove Vixton out of the way and watch him break all his limbs. He could do all this without even breaking a sweat. But right now, he had something else in mind.People like Mariana and Vixton should be made to beg to keep their lives!"I'm in my right senses! It's really you! It's the murderer." Vixton smirked as he continuously accused Slade. "What the hell are you doing here today?"Vixton shook his head for a second."No, that's not the right question. How did you get out of prison? When were you released? Are you alive?" Vixton cackled as though he wished Slade dead. "What gave you the guts to show up on my wedding day?" Vixton's voice was gaining bass, and it seemed like he was beginning to lose his cool"Look around you!" Vixton ordered Slade. As he said this, he also looked around. "Where do you think you are?

They arrived at the villa. They didn't have to walk a long distance because the Villa was quite close to the church. Slade could now understand why Candyce had randomly walked to the scene at the cathedral.The villa stood out in the area. It looked really opulent, and its exterior design was very rear. It looked like a design that must have been contracted to one of the best architects in the whole world.Slade didn't want to focus on the building itself. There was an urgent business he had to attend to her. The pressing matter was much more important than the lush gardens that surrounded the building or the crystal private pool that overlooked the ocean view.Candyce was already at the front, pushing the alarm bell of the door. As soon as the doorbell tinged, the door opened from inside. It would seem as though the person behind the door had been expecting someone's presence.Walking through the door was none other than Jendall Kurtis. He was wearing a simple attire, and his face lo

Slade hardly had to resort to exuding aura to intimidate. He didn't like to do it because he believed that people should not be manipulated in order to instill fear or demand respect from them. But in this situation, he had to employ and exude compelling aura in order to get Candyce and the doctor to listen to him!He couldn't let their ego and foolishness cost the life of someone whom he had given his word to! Even if he wouldn't heal Jendall for their sake, he would do it because Jendall trusted and believed in him! Wasn't that one of the core beliefs in divine healing?If Jendall had not trusted him, the old man wouldn't have given him his treasured ring or even invited him to his villa! Also, because of the words that Slade had given to Jendall, he had to heal the man.The aura that had gushed out of Slade's body as he walked forward worked for a while. He didn't want the two to become brainless robots or statues that couldn't decide for themselves. He had to withdraw some aura to

CHAPTER 16."Switch off the air conditioner." Slade ordered out of the blue. Candyce had no reason to argue yet. She found the remote control of the AC and switched it off from the spot. "The pool of sweet has to dry naturally. It might look unnecessary, but it's important in the process." Slade added. "Who are you?" Doctor Huggins couldn't hold himself back anymore. At first, he had wanted to admire Slade from distance and not get too close because he was already looking for someone to blame the death of Jendall on if things didn't go well. But after seeing the technique that Slade had just employed in treating the old man, curiosity got the best of him, and he was now a mere shadow of his desires. Slade turned to look at the doctor. He saw the look of utmost awe crawling up the face of the man. He could still remember how this man was glaring at him earlier. He could remember how the man hardly paid any attention to him earlier. What changed now?"You look like someone who didn

Candyce swoon over her father, hugging him with every fiber in her body. She had thought that she had lost him. She had thought that her father had ended up as a specimen of a failed medical procedure. She couldn't believe that he was finally back to life.The flood that poured from her eyes soaked the portion of the cloth of her father where her face was buried in."You healed my father! You truly healed my father!" She suddenly felt remorseful towards Slade.She recalled that she had said a lot of harsh and unfair words to Slade. She wished to redeem herself at this moment. Her emotions got the best of her, and she has returned to her senses."I'm so sorry for all the evil words I said to you. I didn't mean for them to come out that way. I thought you were trying to extort us and pretend to be who you are not. Please forgive me." Although she was apologizing to him, she didn't leave her father yet.She was such a daddy's girl. The way she was holding her father, it would seem as tho

"It will be an honor for me to be of help to my savior. I'll definitely get you whatever you want." Lord Jendall promised.Slade sighed. He was relieved to hear this.The rest of the materials are enough to help him to build a new arm for Mamita. He hadn't for once forgotten to imagine the pain that Mamita must have been through. Also, the stress that came with doing everything with just one arm! It must have been hell for her.And to think that the poor woman ended up like this because of him and his family. Slade really couldn't forgive himself. His heart became bitter again."But there is something that I can not promise." Lord Jendall broke into his thoughts.Slade became concerned as he looked up at the man again."What do you mean?" He asked, curiosity getting the best of him."To get the material for making a prosthetic vessel would not be the problem, but getting the machine that would make the vessel itself is not ---" The old man trailed for a while.All eyes were on Lord J

Lord Jendall was pleased that his daughter has willingly offered to take Slade to the location. Earlier, his daughter didn't get along with Slade. Perhaps this would be a great time for the two to get to know each other, the old man thought.Slade nodded and bent his body forward respectfully to the old man. He turned around and followed Candyce's lead.Doctor Huggins was too grounded to the spot to decide what he ought to do at that moment.When they walked out of the foyer into the large garage of the building, Slade was in awe of the space.There was a fleet of cars. Exotic cars. Slade observed closely and noticed that on the right hand, there were ranges of popular cars like Rolls-Royce, Chevrolet, Pagani, Bugatti, and several other brands. But on the left hand, there were strangely beautiful cars that he had never seen before.At first, he thought that these cars were products of new companies that just started making automobiles. It wouldn't be farfetched to think this way, since he s

Up to this moment, Slade should have gotten used to this new side of Linda, but he was still struggling a little bit. It wasn't as though he was expecting anything from her, but seeing her go from doting on him to yelling and wanting to kill him was just something that he still found very strange. There was no reason for him to stay where he was not welcomed. In fact, staying here would bring out no good in the first place. "Don't be too harsh on him, mother." Vixton turned to Linda as she got to them. Linda's eyes were extremely red with rage. If eyes could kill, Slade would have been buried eight feet deep into the abyss of the earth. Every string or note of caring had disappeared from her eyes. "I understand what his frustration is." Vixton continued. Everyone was a little interested in what he was talking about. Of course, they knew that he didn't like Slade, but what was this he was saying?"He must have been dying to see a day like this. I mean, who wouldn't. Let alone some

"Huh?" Manuel thought his ears were playing some tricks on him. Of course he heard what Slade had said but he refused to believe it. Slade didn't respond to him. Instead he turned around to look at Katrina. "You should lie down." He advised. Katrina looked around the layout of the building. She turned around inspecting every corner that her eyes could see from that spot. "There should be a room here." She led the way to one of the doors in sight. Manuel stood there in shock as he saw how energetic Katrina had become. Katrina who seemed weak and tacky was now moving lightly as though she was never sick. The door was pushed open and Katrina walked into a room. The room was well arranged and opulent. Although its size was not as big as every modern room, but its interior and furniture choices were just perfect. "We can use here." She turned to look at Slade as she sat on the bed. Slade walked into the room and looked around for a moment. By the metrics of comparison, he found thi

"Katrina, I'm busy!" A serious voice of Jon blared through the speaker. Manuel was stunned by the manner at which Jon had spoken. He had always thought that Katrina was well respected and revered by Jon. If Jon had spoken on the phone like this, does it mean that he had done the same earlier, or some time before?"You should not call someone over and over again as though they owe you! I'm only trying to help you, don't make it difficult for the both of us." Jon kept on going as though he had been looking for an outlet to vent. "Don't call me again unless I call you. If you do, I'll make sure to restrain all your access to every services of mine that were exclusive to you." He warned sternly. "I'm hanging the call right now." He added. "Jon." Slade said point in time that Jon was about to hang the call in the fit of rage. "Divine doctor?!" Jon exclaimed at once. Everyone in the building were shocked by this. They were shocked by the fact that Jon Waterz, the mighty controller of

Both Manuel and Katrina were startled when they came to find Slade seated in the safe house. It was rather too strange to believe. "Who the hell are you?" Manuel quickly stepped forward, making sure to shield Katrina from any potential attack. "If I wanted to kill the both of you, I'd had done it on your way here. In the blink of an eye, too." Slade replied, looking at Manuel who thought he was looking quite scary. "Answer me, you bastard! Who the fuck are you!!!" Manuel yelled, walking towards Slade. "How the hell did you get in here?" Manuel was now standing in front of Slade. Manuel didn't seem to have any sense of self-awareness or protection. He seemed to be more driven by his rage and emotions. Right now, the only thing he could think of was making this strange man beg him for his life. "I'll be on my way, then." Slade suddenly got up on his feet. It would seem as though Manuel hadn't been on the top of his voice yelling questions. Of course Slade could hear all the quest

"Katrina?" Slade asked, trying to fetch the information that would complement what Lord JK had just said to him. "The president and leader of the Nyther-Rim Group." Lord JK added. "Oh. That bitch!" Slade exclaimed, his brows furrowing. When he called Katrina a bitch, the old woman quickly looked at him. Slade smiled at her, nodding. He wasn't sure whether or not the woman understood what that meant. He thought that an old woman like that wouldn't know much about curse words. "Did she call you personally?" Slade asked, reviewing the possibilities of this. "She dare not. She wouldn't even conceive the thought let alone try to act it out." Lord JK'S voice was firm and serious as he said this. He sounded quite offended, but Slade knew that the old man could not possibly be offended at him. Also, he knew that Lord JK hated every board member of the Nyther-Rim Group. Of course the old man knew the story of his family!"Then how were you able to decide that she was one who called?" Sla

"Mr Jon." Katrina said as she answered the call. She put the call on speaker. Manuel was surprised that she would do that. He had no idea what the motivation behind this was. "I've been trying to reach the number of the immortal doctor, but I just couldn't." Jon Waterz replied with a tone of resignation. "I'm sure you know how difficult it is to talk to Lord JK. I tried talking to him but he didn't seem to be on the same page. His response was not optimistic." Jon explained further. "I believe that he has the same fears as us. He doesn't want to offend the immortal doctor." Jon added finally. Katrina was silent for a second. Who was this strange doctor that even the mighty Lord JK was scared of bothering? She couldn't wait to meet him. Not only for the purpose of being healed but for other reasons which she was yet to decide. "Is there nothing else we could do?" Manuel slipped into the conversation. He realised that Katrina seemed to have drifted from the conversation into anot

After those last words of Ivana, she was out of sight. She disappeared and the trace of her could never be found again. Katrina looked to the side and saw a bird flying away. Her gaze lingered on the bird for a moment. There were a lot of things running around in her head. Things that weren't easy to come to terms with. Every little doubts that she had earlier about this strange lady had finally dissolved. She didn't need anyone or anything to prove to her that Ivana was truly the one who had done the deed. Ivana had just said something about someone putting a mark on her. Katrina wanted to believe that the Supreme god who had slipped the insect into her body was none other than Ivana's master. She believed that what was happening was something beyond the ordinary. Giving by a lot of circumstances: The death of all the board members, the disappearance and the bird that had just flew away. "Where did that bitch go just now?" Manuel came storming back in her direction. Manuel didn

Katrina came to stop when she saw a pretty lady standing in front of her. The lady was standing next to an SUV. The face of the lady looked cute and innocent. Katrina didn't know what to believe at first as she stared at the lady. Katrina found what the lady was wearing quite funny. Her eyes squinted for a minute. The lady was wearing something that was made from the skin of a random animal. She didn't think she had seen that animal before. The lady could have been taken for someone rough and wild, but just staring at how cute and clean her legs were, it was hard to come to a direct conclusion. Katrina, at this point, was caught in between claws of confusion. She didn't really know what to attribute to this strange lady. Before she stepped out of the villa, Dexter had cried and warned her that the lady outside was the one who had killed all the board members. How could it be so, Katrina wondered? This strange lady didn't look like someone who could even harm a fly. "Oh my fucking

If blinking his eyes a million times was the better resort, Manuel should have been able to arrive at a perfect response by now. What was set in front of him right now was beyond what he could have seen coming. There was a heap of newly killed people in the center of the living room. Each of the people had their bodies severed in different regions. The head of a man was cut off. The bowel of another was pulled out of the stomach. Intenstines were hanging around the neck of some. One of them had his legs twisted to the back and curled around the back of the neck. Manuel couldn't believe his eyes as he stared at the scene. He wished that this was nothing but a staged facade. Perhaps a sort of illusion that had been fused into reality just like the VR game. He was still speechless when he came to recognize the face of one of the dead men. "Klein?!!!" He screamed, running forward. Klein was one of the important board members of the Nyther-Rim Group."What happened to you, Klein? Who

"Huh?" Manuel was taken by surprise following the suggestion that she had just made. "I believe that he's the only one who can be of help to me in this situation." Katrian added, looking beaten up. Manuel changed his position in his seat, turning fully to look at her. Earlier, ever since they got back to the villa after the experience at the beach, they had both been silent. Manuel, out of shame, had decided to turn his back to her in order not to measure his shame by the weight of the look on her face. "But nobody knows his whereabouts." Manuel added. "That shouldn't be a problem. We will find a way to get to him." She assured, nodding slowly. She hated to believe that she would be left to die this way. She had hardly achieved anything in her life. She had gone through a lot trying to claim Nyther-Rim for herself, positioning herself as the top figure in the company and the leader of the board members. It hadn't even been that long that she assumed that place of power. She was
