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

    There were a group of people gathered in the spacious living room of the Howers mansion. The living room was not arranged as every normal living room, instead it was converted into a short-term meeting hall. About twenty-five people were gathered around a large table that was placed in the centre of the space, which reached into every corner of the area, so that no space was wasted. Each of these people belonged to a part of the extended family of the Howers family. They had all been summoned by Katrina to present themselves today at the family mansion. Since the past thirty minutes, there had been words flying around. Chatters and murmurs were dribbling across the space as they awaited Katrina's arrival. Some people didn't seem bold enough to speak on top of their voices so they had rather leave it as whispers that were confined to a degree of space and room. "Could it be about her illness?" An elderly man asked one of the younger ones seated around him. This man would be one o

    Araguta was scared out of his mind as he stared at these creatures. He couldn't come to terms with what was staring him right in the face. He thought that these creatures were supposed to be myth. Why were they standing right in front of him and staring him deep in the eyes?He quickly shook the thoughts off his mind. Although he was still worried and stunned speechless, he couldn't let the shock cloud his sense of activity. He needed to react to this situation promptly. "Take it yourself." He retorted. The Baggyls made a weird sound. Araguta didn't need to use a refining skill in order to know that the Baggyls were truly displeased with what he had just said. "Hand it over." The Bagyls repeated, wanting to move closer but they just couldn't move closer than they already were. "Why are you asking me this when you can take it yourself?" Araguta argued, keeping his ground. Of course he was worried that this situation might go real bad real quick, yet he didn't want to cower like a

    "No! You cannot go!" Araguta was startled, clueless as to what to do next. "Hey! Hey! Where did you go just now?" He yelled, jumping off the bed and running out of the room. He ran around all the rooms and corners of the whole building yet a trace of Slade couldn't be found. In fact, he tried to appraise some of his magical abilities but nothing worked for him. "How did he get his hand on the IGMA? How did he know how to summon it without my consent?" Confusion ate through the mind of this man. Araguta had gone through days and nights of seclusion on the zenith of the hickory tree. He had been able to achieve this because he disappeared into one of the thick forests in the county. Being there alone for three months, he conjured and perfected a spell that made it able for him to conceal the IGMA in a virtual realm that no creature, no matter how powerful, would be able to reach. The only way anyone could get the IGMA would be through his consent. In fact, the IGMA wasn't tied to

    "How can this be?" Araguta was swarmed by utter confusion. This was beyond any logic of human. "I burnt you to ashes. How come you're..." He trailed off for a moment. He wouldn't have been this shocked and surprised if a little boy hadn't appeared to him while he was fortifying his duplex. If he hadn't seen the little boy and had gone to sleep, he would have thought that perhaps Slade's spirit has come to haunt him in his sleep. Right at this moment, Araguta didn't know how to make meaning of what was happening right now. He was trying to use all his logic yet nothing seemed to prove useful. "This cannot be. Is this some sort of magic? Dark magic?" He moved away from the familiar face staring at him. When he looked around, the entire place was large and endless. It was a stretch of large field whose end could not be seen. Even if he were to make a run for it, there was no guarantee that he would find a place to hide. "You haven't noticed it yet, have you?" Slade asked, taking a

    Araguta stood at the front of the blazing fire. The body of Slade was burning at his feet. His eyes were keen on the body as though he was expecting anything unusual to happen out of the blue. He didn't have to set the clone on fire because the clone had dissolved not long after he had attacked the main body. Also, not long after he attacked the main body, he had dragged the body out of his house to the garden at the back. There, he had taken a cup of fuel and bathed the corpse in it. After which he lit blue flames from his fingertip and threw it at the body. Although the body had taken a long time to burn into ashes, proving that the man that he had just killed was not just a mere human! If it was a mere human, he would have felt bad. In fact, when he started out burning the corpse of Slade, if the flame burned a part of the body, then the body would renew its flesh and look even more beautiful and clear. Araguta had been scared witless by this. Even though he wss blind in both

    A confused grunt escaped the lungs of the Bagyls. Ivana had sent them off so easily. Of course there might be something shady about all of this, yet they had been driven to go retrieve the IGMA. Without retrieving it, they wouldn't find peace. The Bagyls turned away from her and started walking away. Their paces were timed and sequential, although once in a while there was a subtle change in their body movements. This part was something that she couldn't really explain. Ivana watched as they walked away. There was no point in holding them back. If she was to fight them, then she would just be wasting her time. This wasn't that type of fight that she wanted to be a part of. The IGMA was no longer on the island. There was no reason to hold the Bagyls back from going to the island. If they go there and can't find the IGMA, there were the possibilities of two things happening:One, the Bagyls would come back looking for her. And when they find her eventually, it would be quite a deadly

    The creatures started walking towards her. As they walked towards her, she moved to the back. The closer they walked, the cautious Ivana was. When Ivana had thought about having an opponent, she had thought of having someone worthy. But she didn't think that a nuclear bomb could be presented at a gun's fight. Bagyls were types of Satyrs. Satyrs were creatures that were half human and half goat. They mostly have the bodies of humans. From their head to the waist is the body of a man, while down the waist to the legs were that of a goat. Ivana had thought naturally that these creatures were mere Satyrs. But coming to discover that they were more than this took her by surprise. In her life, she had fought a lot of creatures and had defeated them, Satyrs included. But Bagyls? She had never even seen them let alone fight them! This was why she was being very cautious around these creatures. She didn't know what these creatures were capable of. If she knew she would have been preparing

    There was a sequence of wild wave of breeze that flowed through a path of the Heaven Coast Forest. There was a random fluctuation in the flow, but the pattern was recurring over and over again.This continued for another couple of moments as the dried leaves littered along the path were manipulated to assume a dancing pose that they never wanted to be a part of.The branches of sturdy trees were also swaying to this rhythmic pattern of the unusual force. The tone and tune of this breeze came chill but the omen that it introduced was quite beyond words. The birds that were lurking in the trees suddenly took flight. This definitely wasn't the time for any of them to get funny ideas. If they tarried any longer, the breeze would freeze them into numbness. There was something particularly odd about the breeze. Although it was soft and gentle, yet there was this hostility that was evident in its dances. It dances to squash into a pulp. Ivana stood in the middle of the path up ahead as th

    The light that came on made Slade aware of where he was. Opposed to how this place seemed earlier, it was actually a well furnished modern living room of a fully detached duplex. Not only was the building beautiful, but its interior was just perfect.Slade began to wonder how so much darkness had been registered earlier that he found himself here. It didn't take him too much time to come to an obvious conclusion. It was just mainly because the man must have shielded the entire space in deep darkness to his own advantage. "You?" The old man's shocked voice snapped Slade out of the thoughts. Slade's gaze was restored on the man's face. There was a big wave of shock flowing from one corner of the man's face to the other. "But I just killed you." The man argued. "That's right." Slade nodded, walking towards the man, "You just killed me. But that was my clone." "A clone?" The old man's jaws dropped when he heard this. It's been several years since he heard that word. It didn't always
