Earlier, when Celia had heard the voice of Mariana at the door, she had frozen. She had been so shocked that she didn't want to climb down from the laps of the man.

Suddenly, Mariana had decided to stomp towards the table to yell. Still Celia had tried her best to hide her face until the man jumped on his feet.

This time, Celia found it difficult to keep up with the stealth mode she was trying to achieve.

In fact, she didn't know when she moved her face in the direction of Mariana and allowed herself to get caught.

"Mariana?" Celia muttered.

"Celia, what are you doing here?" Mariana didn't know how to feel in this situation.

The emotions she felt earlier when she thought the man was Vixton were gone. Right now, they seemed to be resurfacing. The surge in this moment was unusual, zooming with a gust of confusion.

"Baby, do you know her?" The man turned to Celia when he realised that the situation had taken another twist.

"Baby?!" Mariana didn't know why she exclaimed when the m

    Mariana kept a long gaze at Celia. None of the things that Celia was saying made any iota of sense to her. She was trying her best to believe it but there was something else haunting her mind. From the way Mariana was staring at her, Celia could easily tell that she was having a hard time believing what she had told her. Celia knew that if it was the other way round, she would be facing the same kind of worries and struggles, too. So she wouldn't blame Mariana. "I understand the way you feel. But it's the truth. You just have to live with it." Celia advised. Celia watched the eyes of Mariana change all of a sudden. "You understand how I feel?" Mariana's tone after this question was quite strange and judgemental. "I mean, yes." Celia replied carefully. "You have a lot on your plate right now. You don't know what to do either. A lot must have been going through your mind. I'm sorry you have to feel this way. I'm sorry that any of this is happening to you." Celia was genuine when s

    Rowan ran to the scene. He was stunned speechless to see his girlfriend fighting with the person she had promised to have a talk with. Rowan didn't have much time to brood over what was happening between them. All he could see was that Celia was in great pain. He looked around and saw the clientele gathered around the two ladies. Instead of them to stop the fight, they were rather videoing the fight. This pissed Rowan off so bad. He grabbed Mariana's hand and yanked it off Celia's hair. After this, he pushed Mariana away. He pushed her so hard that she almost broke her back against the table. He didn't care about it. He quickly turned to Celia. He was so worried about her as he gazed at her. "Oh, baby. Why did you have to do this to yourself?" Tears almost rolled down from his eyes. With the manner at which he was looking at her. It was evident that he loved her so much. "You could have called me to kick her out of the company! It would be very easy to do. You didn't have to go

    Linda was sitting in a loose sofa. The arms of the sofa were old and dirty and the foam beneath was torn and weak. She had no choice but to settle down there else she would lose her legs standing for too long. She was staring at the old wall of their former family house. It was a bungalow. The paint on the walls was starting to peel off because it's been forever since someone lived there. She hated to look at it but there was nothing else to stare at. Her mind was boggled. She had a lot of things that kept her sighing and shutting her eyes momentarily. All of a sudden, the wooden door of the bungalow was pushed open. When it was pushed open, the door almost ripped off the wall. "Be careful with the door. How many times do I have to tell you this?" Linda yelled at the person who had just pushed the door open. Pascal ran into the living room. His phone was in his hand. He was looking like someone that was being chased by a wild cat. He didn't care about anything else. "Look at thi

    The cab pulled over in front of the Langley family villa. "Seeing how dressed you are, Ma'am. You must be a very important person going into the villa." The middle-aged cab driver smiled at Linda. "What a fool! Your cluelessness must have landed you this pathetic job." She threw the money at him. "Get lost!"The cab driver was obviously offended by the manner she had talked to him and the fact that she threw the money at him, but he dared not talk back.He only murmured under his breath and drove off. He wasn't immune to trouble and chaos. He would never want to do anything to insult someone of class like that. Especially not someone who's connected to the Langley family. Linda walked towards the gate and used the gate door for legs."You're not allowed to come in here, Mrs Paxton." The gateman stood in her way as soon as he saw her. Every member of the Langley family now knows that the Langley family has cut ties with the Paxton family. There was no reason for the Paxtons to be h

    Stephen Langley jumped up and looked around for a while as though he had lost something. His gaze was wild and the degree of confusion on his face couldn't be compromised. When he looked for a while but didn't see anyone, he turned back to Linda and pointed a finger at himself. "Me?" The chairman muttered, trying to ascertain whether or not he was in his right mind?Not once in his entire life had he thought that Linda would raise a topic like that, let alone be bold enough to bring it into his foyer. In such an hour of the day. Linda didn't say any other word. She just kept a long stare at him. It would seem as though she was waiting for him to make the right decision. The look on his face wasn't as nervous and anxious as that on the face of the chairman. "You must have lost your mind!" The chairman exclaimed. The chairman turned around, pointing his finger in different directions of the foyer. "Have you looked around? Do you see where you are? You are in the villa of me! Steph

    Stephen was bewildered when this happened. He couldn't have imagined that Linda was recording everything that he was saying. It was unthinkable and shocking. "You sly witch!!" He jumped up on his feet. His face was covered in utmost disbelief. He was speechless. "What are you going to do now, most efficient Stephen Langley? How much troubles are your media friends willing to take for you?" Linda smiled. Although Stephen Langley did have friends in the media offices who are indebted to him because of what he had done for them. But this situation is very different. It was something that was impossible and sensitive. It was the matter of national security and sanity. Not many people would want to be involved. Also, this would do a great blow to a person's life and career going forward. Most of these media personnel are just starting with their lives! They still want to win promotions and climb ranks. Having a bad record in the early stages of their careers wouldn't do them any good.

    He could swear on his life that Linda didn't hold up her phone to record a video. The audio recording that she had been able to pull off was because she didn't have to pull her phone out. How the hell then did she make a video recording without bringing her phone out?"I'm sure you must be wondering how I made the video." Linda found the strength to get up on her feet.The chairman was visibly shocked by the strange demeanor that Linda had just garnered. She didn't look like the woman who was being pinned to the wall a moment ago. She looked like an entirely different person. "How the hell did you do it? Start talking now before I make you pay!!!" Stephen was fidgeting. He was very much vulnerable and was not making any attempt to hide it either. Linda took a few steps towards him. She slowly lifted one of her hands and recurled a finger in the direction of her body. At this time, her finger was pointing at a small object that was on the tip of her dress at the upper side of her t

    Stephen was pacing the foyer to and fro. His head was hot and aching! He was in distress. His entire body was almost in a lock down. At this point, it felt like a part of his body had shut down. Suddenly, he felt an adrenaline surge course through his body. He walked directly to the table and kicked it. The glass table shattered into shards. He walked to another corner of the foyer and broke a few other things. He smashed the TV and continued to cause a havoc until he came to a pause. No matter how much damages he was causing, he realised that his rage didn't subside. It only felt like he was causing himself some financial mischief. Of which he didn't really care about. When he came to a pause, a new idea popped up in his mind. The idea was strange but fresh. His eyes lit up. It would seem like the common phrase that fly around people's lips, 'There's a light at the end of the tunnel'This new thought that he had seemed like the light he has been waiting for at the end of this lon

    Everyone watched with mouth agape following what had just happened. They thought that they had seen it all when the demons changed into their true form and killed Manuel. Seeing what Slade had just done broke every barrier that their minds had set against the impossible. With just one swipe of the hand, Slade had created a deep and very dark hole. Everyone of them could see as the mouth of the dark hole opened as though it was the pulsing throat of a gigantic and wild beast. The throat of the dark vacuum had gobbled the demons and had vanished into thin air. "Master!!!" Ivana jumped on her feet instantly and raced towards Slade. Ivana who appeared to have lost her will and strength was suddenly and instantly energized. She looked like a different person at that moment. She ran towards Jaai and leapt into his chest. With her legs curled around his waist, and her arms around his neck, she hugged him with every bit of strength in her body. "What the hell is wrong with this girl?" S

    By this time, all the demons were done feasting on the body of Manuel and were now back to their old human forms. Even though they were looking like an average human now, Izuga couldn't see them as such anymore. Right now, he was pissing his pants and shuddering. It felt like he would pass out any moment from now. He couldn't even lift his gaze, let alone look at the demons. He wished that he could grow a wing and fly out of this fucking place. He wished that there was something he could do to vanish. But when the reality dawned on him, he realised that the only superpower that he had right now was just wishes. There was nothing he could do but wish. It should be relieving but it was a mere illusion. Araguta was equally shaken to the core. Of course he had fought in deadly battles and had dealt blows that were ruthless. He had killed a thousand of evil spirits and had summoned many, returning them back to where they came from. Yet, he had never seen any demon of this form. Demons

    The voice sounded so familiar to Sceptre that he couldn't do any other thing but be stunned by the suddenness of the call. Looking at the person who had just called his name, Sceptre's eyes widened in shock. With the look on his face, it would seem like he had just seen a ghost. "Izuga." Araguta, the man Sceptre muttered as he saw the man. "My son." He added. "Father!" The man, who now identifies as Izuga screamed. "What are you doing here" He asked, not ready to hear the answer. "I should be asking you this. How the hell did you get here?" The tone or Araguta had tuned so deeply that it was evident in his voice that this wasn't a reunion anymore. Sceptre was scolding his son as though he was an urchin who had just landed himself into a deep mess. He was way too annoyed than to be surprised to see him here. There was a reason they had fought and stopped seeing each other. Araguta had warned his son never to be part of the secret agent that worked for the government but Izuga had

    The man was wetting his pants right now as he saw what had just happened. He thought that he had seen cruel people all his life, but he had been telling himself a huge lie. What he had just seen was way more than just terrible. At first when he had seen the lady, he had thought that they were sex workers who came to please their clients. Instead, the ladies seemed scared of the men. This meant that the ladies must have been brought here against their own wills. They had been trafficked. A new wave of fear gripped the man. He was shaking. He was shuddering. If this kind of men were the people they had been brought to, doesn't that mean that they were done for?He wished that there was a way they could escape this kind of trouble but not in his wildest dreams would that be possible. He just knew it. The only way they would be rescued would be if perhaps an angel dropped down from heaven or a god. If that could happen, then perhaps they could have a shot at getting freed. The man's

    "He wanted to kill me! He almost killed me!" Manuel cried as soon as he saw the creatures. He was reporting to the creatures as though they would come to his aid and teach the man some lessons. Instead, two of the creatures grabbed each of them and dragged them in. "Where are you taking us?" The man argued, doing all he could to yank himself off the hard grip of the weird-looking creatures. Perhaps he thought that the powers that he had just exhausted on Manuel would find a way to resurface. If that were to be the case, then he wouldn't be dragged away like a sac of rice. When he stopped trying to free himself, he realised that they had entered what looked like a big hall. At this point, he was neither scared nor worried. Instead, he was curious. This hall looked like a medical lab where gigantic transparent tanks were lined up all across the space. There were aisles in between the rows of transparent tanks.Each tank held a type of creature that the man had never seen before. In

    The man was mellow through the journey. They walked through a dark hallway, then bursted into a hallway that had tiny hues of blue rays. The man had lifted his gaze for a moment to see where the blue rays were coming from, but his eyes were weary from the hard slap that he had received the second time. When the security had tried to drag him out of the prison, he had tried to put up a fight again, instead he met with a very laughable humiliation. Hence, to protect his ego and the thoughts of being capable, he decided that it would be best for him not to try and act the hero just like he was warned by the security.Soon enough, they approached a door that was saturated by a brilliant white light. The saturation was so high that it was hard to tell whether it was the door that was white or it was the white light that gave that illusion. They came to stop at the door. As soon as they stopped at the door, the three security personnel stepped away from them, letting them free. The sec

    Three men dressed in black plain suits appeared at the front of the gate. One of the men opened the gate and the others stepped in. Manuel was still on the floor, groaning in pain as he tried to sit up but he just couldn't. Of course he could see the men that had just walked in, but he was too weak to react in a certain way. "Who are you?" The man argued, staking a claim as he stared at the three men who were walking towards him. He wasn't the same old weak person he used to be. He was now a new person and would do anything to protect that interest. In the past, he would have cowered like a cornered animal. But right now, he was willing to give it whatever it takes to earn his freedom. After all, he now has some powers. "I'm warning you to stop right now when I'm being nice to you." He warned again as the men kept walking in his direction. They didn't care about his warning obviously.The fact that they didn't care about his warning was making him feel unseen. How could someone

    "What the hell is that?" The man wondered, turning back to Manuel to see what the hell was happening. Looking at the grip on his wrist, he saw Manuel's hand. Manuel's palm was locked around his wrist, holding him so strongly as though it would snap his wrist off. "What the hell!" He gasped, unable to explain how Manuel's grip got so strong. Wasn't this the same man that he had been hitting blue and black for a while now? Why all of a sudden, Manuel gained some strange strength? Why did it have to be when he was about to figure out where he was?He trailed the hand to the face of Manuel. Manuel's eyes were still shut just like it had always been. The eyelids didn't even flicker nor twitch. "Let go of my hand, you fool!" The man was getting rather impatient. "It's better you make the right decision before I break your face further." He threatened as though Manuel could hear him. He has been working as a secret agent for years. He knew what subconscious strength means. This is the c

    When consciousness was restored to his body, his eyes flickered for a moment. There was a strong urge to open his eyes but he couldn't follow through with it for some reasons. Soon enough, his eyes started itching. This time, there was no reason not to follow through with the obvious. His eyes flipped open. Then he shut them again as they met with blinding lights. When he tried to open the eyes again, he tried to do it carefully. He didn't want to fall into the same old ditch that he had fallen into earlier. Opening his eyes this time, he redirected the concentration of his pupils in another direction. That was the only way he could avoid the same old mistake. When his gaze fell on the other area, he saw something interesting that stole a weird sound from his throat. It was something that was rather instinctive than premeditated. It was the leg of a human. At first, he thought that the leg was disconnected from the body of the human but it wasn't. His eyes slowly trailed the leg
