Dominic was trapped between the devil and the deep blue sea and he hoped that he didn't hit his head. He smiled and sought a solution. It was as if this was a distraction and he was ready to make sure that he wasn't being played. "Are you sure that you're here for me?" He inquired. He didn't want a situation whereby he'd have to undergo a fight that would stop him from seeing through their escapades."I don't think that you're ready for what's about to hit you though. Now that you're trapped, what do you have to say?" Paul replied.Dominic considered his next movement, these men were heavily guarded, doing anything unseemly was surely going to backfire and with the way things were going, he was trying his very best to make sure that he didn't fall into their trap."Since you already have me in your custody, what else can I say other than surrender? What do you really want?" Paul wasn't satisfied with that reaction, he wanted to see Dominic get vexed and expend his energy on nothing
Selena woke up in a strange bed and saw a man tapping a syringe slowly before clipping the needle to it. Her eyes widened in horror but she wasn't able to move. It seemed like her legs were stuck and all that she could do was to just protest in her head."Where am I God?" She wondered internally. Her tongue was almost clipped to the roof and all she could pray for was to be free. She didn't know what to do. She was feeling tied down and helpless. "Don't move darling, you're about to join the people above, greet your beloved father." The man in scrubs said and she became afraid. The heart monitor beeped loudly and the doctor stared at it before glancing at her in horror."You are not supposed to be alive darling because you'll only endanger yourself. Why don't you use the same energy to make sure that you sing well when you get to heaven or hell? I can't wait to see you dancing with the people on high. I hear it's fun though, what do you think?" She was scared. She was frozen at the
Make sure you shoot him now, you must not allow him to escape." He told the people who were standing and looking. Pauo smiled thinking that Todd was referring to Dominic. "Yes, blow his brains out."The soldiers turned in his direction and cocked their guns, making him surprised. His eyes darted towards Todd. "what is happening?" He inquired but was met with silence. He flared up. " Put those guns down!""You don't control us anymore!" One of the soldiers yelled and he was shocked to the bone. "What the hell is this?!" "Exactly what we should have done the very first time! We shout "have killed you the moment you took Selena." Another soldier responded.Paul was stunned and moved back a little. Everything was crumbling before his very eyes. "You can't be serious right now! Are you kidding me right now? You would save this man over me? The man who taught you everything you know? The man who had made you into who you're? That's ridiculous!" The soldiers drew out another gun and flas
Selena opened her eyes first and saw Dominic standing at the window looking outside the hospital. The sunrays hit her eyes and she squinted, she didn't know the time that she made the sound. It was very soft but he heard it anyway. She was tired and stressed but couldn't find an expression for her emotions.As if touched by a life wire, Dominic quickly turned and saw that she was awake. A small smile appeared on his face as he stared at her, she was beautiful even in her sick state. He marched to the edge of the bed and gathered her softly into his arms, her body was exactly the way he remembered. Soft, just that she had become very lean."Stop staring, I'm no longer fine again. I can't face you." She croaked and began to cough violently. Dominic quickly pressed the bell that was close to him and at the end of the day, he saw that she was feeling very tired. He planted kisses on her face. As a General, there were a few things that made him emotional but she was one of them. He didn
It was finally the day of the wedding. Petals adorned the floor, surrounding the chair and giving off this crazy rich Asians vibe. It was almost feathery that one would think that they were going to lay on them. The church had been decorated by the best event planner in town. No one could even dispute the fact that their wedding was the most elegant in town and how much they had spent. It was the talk of the whole town. People had come from far and near to witness the joining. It was almost as if they had been told that if they missed this wedding, they had missed a lot of things By six a.m. the church was already packed. People who couldn't attend the church service were already seated in the hall waiting for the bride and groom to finally arrive.The priest cleared his throat after everyone had found a place to sit. The pressmen and the camera men were already at alert to cover the biggest wedding in the last decade. A wedding was held last week but it wasn't as magnificent as thi
"Of course, you heard what I said," There was venom and so much hatred in Diana's voice that the crowd shivered with it. Everyone fell silent, the people laid on the floor, trembling with their arms over their head as they prayed for safety. Diana came with a small army of men dressed in black suits and they barricaded the church. Apart from the conspicuous plastic surgery done on the left side of her face,she seemed to have grown bigger. Dominic didn't know how to feel, Selena might have imagined it as the last day of her life, she clenched tighter to him, wishing it would pass away like a dream. "Silly you are Marcus," she said with a snicker, "thinking you can defeat me this easily. I have spent a lifetime planning, waiting for this very moment" Her voice cut through the walls of the silent church, Dominic was still thinking of a response to give when she suddenly twisted Marcus arm and swept him off his feet. "Oh no!," Dominic gasped with horror as his fourth in command hit th
"Hail Victoria!" "Hail!" "Hail Victoria!!" "Hail!!" "Hail Victoria!!!" "Hail!!!" The thunderous voice of the army echoed through the forest. Judging by their response, one could discern the might of the army. Lieutenant Anderson, the second in command of the Giant Hall Army of Victoria elite soldiers, was in a cheerful mood that day.The soldiers gathered for the next line of instruction. "Soldiers!" Anderson began. "We are not here today for war; we are here for a celebration!" Anderson shouted with great joy in his voice, which made the soldiers chant in jubilation.As the cheering subsided, Anderson continued, "We are gathered here for the wedding celebration of Dominic Lorenzo, 'The Surtr' and 'Fire god' of the Giant Hall Army!" Anderson screamed at the top of his voice, the soldiers cheering along. Happiness filled the atmosphere. It was their Captain’s wedding celebration, and they were excited.“Wedding anniversary,” Sergeant Ramirez whispered in Anderson’s ear before withdrawi
Dominic double-checked his phone to confirm he was at the correct address. Standing in front of the private law firm, he read the name as if to reassure himself. Today had been ruined before it even began. Instead of celebrating his anniversary and birthday in grand style, he found himself at the threshold of a legal office."Good morning, you must be Dominic, right?" the lady at the reception said with contempt evident in her voice. "Yes, I am. I'm here to...""That way, please. You kept everyone waiting, thrash! No wonder she wants a divorce. Such a loser," the receptionist yelled harshly. Dominic remained unfazed; he had encountered such disdain before. The city was toxic, and everyone seemed to take out their frustrations on those they perceived are beneath them.Dominic attempted to compose himself under the weight of unwelcoming gazes from those around him, their eyes judging him as if he had committed a crime.He walked into the cold atmosphere created by Diana and her lawyer.
