Alec's boots crunched against the gravel as he approached the dimly lit warehouse. The metallic clink of a chain gate echoed in the silence as he pushed it open, and he paused, squinting against the darkness inside. The warehouse was a sprawling, dilapidated structure, barely illuminated by a single flickering light overhead. He scanned the shadows until he spotted Diego lounging against a rusted crate, cigarette in hand, the faint ember glowing with each drag.

Diego looked up, raising a brow as Alec approached. "You're late," he muttered, blowing a stream of smoke into the air.

Alec ignored the comment, stopping a few feet away, his posture rigid, fists clenched at his sides. His voice was low but brimming with menace. "Where’s Andrew?"

Diego chuckled softly, shaking his head. "You came all the way here for that?" He flicked the cigarette to the ground and crushed it with his boot. "I don’t know where he is."

Alec’s jaw clenched, his eyes narrowing. He took a step closer, towering ov

    "Hey, pssst, Andrew, wake up, I brought some food for you." Andrew opened his eyes grudgingly and looked toward the gate. He let out a heavy sigh when he realised that it was Emilia. "Emilia, what are you doing here?" Andrew asked indifferently as he sat up and rested his back on the cold wars, the sensation of his warmth body against the ice cold wall sent a chilling sensation to course through his body. "Didn't you hear me. I said I brought you food." She repeated, sticking the tupperware that contained food through the gate. "Emilia, I don't think you should come here anymore." Andrew said, looking away from her. "What are you talking about?" A frown settled on Emilia's face. "You know that you're risking your life by bringing food for me—" "Oh come off that." Emilia discharged what he had just said with a wave of hand, stopping him from concluding his sentence. "It's the truth and you know that. Your—boyfriend hates my gut and he's definitely going to hurt you if he catche

    The narrow hallway leading to the dungeon was dimly lit, with the faint sound of dripping water echoing off the stone walls. Emilia moved carefully, making her way toward Andrew’s cell. Her heart pounded in her chest, and each step felt heavier than the last. She knew the risk she was taking—Diego would never forgive her if he found out—but she couldn’t bear to see Andrew suffer any longer.The tray in her hands was warm with freshly cooked food, the steam rising slightly in the cold air. She approached the iron gate to Andrew’s cell and quietly set the tray down. Her fingers were trembling as she reached for the keys she had stolen earlier. With a quiet click, the gate opened, and she slipped inside, kneeling beside Andrew’s unconscious form."Andrew," she whispered, shaking him gently. He stirred slightly, groaning as he slowly opened his eyes, weak from days of starvation.But before she could say anything further, a voice echoed from behind her, sharp and cold. "Emilia."She froze

    The words hit Emilia like a slap in the face. She recoiled, her eyes widening in shock. How did he know that? How had he found out about and how long had he known that? All these questions swirled unanswered in her head. Eden had broken the rest of the barrier that Emilia used in shielding her integrity. Eden chuckled darkly, enjoying her reaction. "You heard me," he said, his voice smooth. " We can do it out back, behind the building. No one has to know. And in exchange, I won’t say a word to Diego."Emilia felt like the air had been sucked out of her lungs. "Please I beg of you," Emilia went down on her knees. "Anything else and I promise that I'm going to fulfill every of your demands, but please not this." Eden shrugged, his smirk never fading. "It’s not much to ask, considering what I’m saving you from. Or would you rather Diego finds out what you’ve been up to?"Emilia’s mind raced, her stomach twisting in disgust. "I’m his girlfriend," she said, her voice weak. "How could yo

    Diego sat inside what he had named his makeshift office, leaning back in a wooden chair, his boots resting on the edge of a nearby table. The air was thick with the smell of cigar smoke, a faint haze hanging in the air. His eyes were sharp, dark, and calculating as he stared into the shadows, deep in thought. Across from him sat Mateo, one of his most trusted aides, who seemed more nervous than usual. He had seen Diego in many moods, but tonight there was something different, something darker."You know," Diego said, his voice low and contemplative, "I’ve been watching Emilia closely."Mateo’s brow furrowed, unsure of where this conversation was going. "Emilia, boss?" he asked carefully. "What about her?"Diego’s gaze remained distant, as though he were seeing something beyond the room. He stroked his beard, his fingers brushing through the coarse hair slowly. "She’s been going down to the dungeon to feed Andrew."Mateo’s eyes widened in shock. "What? Emilia? Feeding the captive?

    Andrew shot up from the cold, hard ground, his breath was heavy and his muscles were sore. The stone walls of the dungeon seemed to close in on him as his head pounded from the searing pain behind his eyes. He blinked, trying to adjust to the dim light filtering through the cracks in the ceiling. His pulse was still racing, his heart hammering in his chest, and then he remembered why.Emilia!Her voice had woken him, calling his name in a faint whisper that still echoed in his mind. But she wasn't here. Of course, she wasn't. It had been a dream, a cruel trick his mind had played on him, reminding him of her betrayal.Andrew clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms. The anger, sharp and relentless, surged inside him. The events of the previous day flashed through his mind, clearer than ever, filling him with white-hot rage. "Damn her!" He should never have trusted her. He had known better, but he had let his desperation, his hunger, cloud his judgement.He berated himself

    The cold stone walls of the dungeon closed in on Andrew. The air was damp and thick with the scent of rot. His wrists were raw from the shackles that bound him, and his head was heavy from frustration. He sat against the back wall of his cell and rested his head on his knees, as his mind raced but his body was still limp with exhaustion.Suddenly, a faint hum broke the silence. Andrew didn’t need to lift his head to know what it was—who it was. A soft blue light flickered in front of him, announcing it's presence. It was Valkyron, materializing like it always did—unwanted and at the worst possible time.–Master...–Andrew clenched his jaw and stayed silent, ignoring the soft, insistent voice of his system. He wasn't in the mood to deal with Valkyron. Not now. Not here. His pulse quickened with anger, but he forced himself to stay still, his eyes fixed stubbornly on the floor.–You can’t ignore me forever, Master.–A muscle twitched in Andrew’s cheek, his fists tightening. He had spent

    Andrew didn't know if he should kick the food in front of him away or wait for Emilia to come back and get it. A lot of unanswered questions lingered on his mind as he kept staring at the food. And why does Valkyron have to disappear on him just like that? And what exactly did it mean by Emilia being the key to the system? "This can't be right, can it?" Andrew asked no one in particular as he raised his eyes to the dungeon, his face dripping with sweat from the revelation. And how exactly was he going to get the key from Emilia, did she even know anything about Valkyron?For the first time since Andrew had been Imprisoned, he finally looked forward to seeing Emilia—to ask her certain questions which was going to make him sound like a weirdo in front of her. But what did he care, as long he had a purpose which was to find out how she was the key to the system and probably his way out of this place. He got up from the floors and made his way to the dungeon gate to see what was goin

    Emilia froze the moment she heard Diego's voice. She felt her heart sink into her stomach and a new wave of fear washed over her. "Diego!" Emilia breathed as she turned to face him, her eyes bulging in surprise. Her face had turned white—as if she had just seen a ghost—but what she had seen was worse than a ghost. "Hey, Emilia," Diego said casually and went to put his arm around her shoulders as he turned to face Andrew. Sweat had broken out from every part of Emilia's body as she stood under Diego's hold. "You know you've done a very good job sweetheart," Diego said to Emilia, peeling his eyes off Andrew and resting them on Emilia while he pinched her cheeks playfully. "I never would have known that it would be this easy for you to make Andrew trust you completely." He said, the slick smile still on his face. Andrew's words were stuck in his throat as he looked from Diego to Emilia. "She's a great actor, you know." Diego's gaze fell on Andrew whose insides were burning with rag

    The gates to the dungeon were opened up immediately, and Diego made his way into the dungeon, the man trailing behind him. "I have no idea how you got out of the dungeon, but get prepared to meet your end!" Diego said as a smile played across his face. Andrew struggled to get up from the floor but fell back onto the floor, his knees giving up under him. Blood was sprawling from every part of his face; some got into his eyes, blinding him from seeing who was in front of him. "You!" Andrew pointed wearily at Diego, "I'm so.... going to...kill you!" Diego let out a dangerous laugh that only lasted for a brief moment. "I'd like to see you try!" Diego let out in mockery and stretched forth his hand at Andrew. All of a sudden, Andrew felt himself being lifted off the floor by a strange force. "Now I'm going to show you the true taste of power!" Diego said with a smirk on his face. Andrew was already feet above the floor. He was flaring his arms and legs in the air, shouting at the t

    —Get ready for your ultimate task, master— Valkyron's electronic voice boomed; this time, itsscreen was not hovering in front of Andrew and emanating a blue light as usual.. Instead it was iitsovoicethat was resounding from every angle. "What do you mean, Valkyron ,and how....how did i get here?"Andrew asked as he turned around, trying to make out where he was. This did not look like any of the rooms in Andrew's mansion; it looked more like he was in a desert, and he wondered how he had gotten there. He could hear multiple voices around him as if he was standing in front of a crowd that was waiting for him to perform, but he couldn't see anyone around him even when he looked into the distance. He tried to pinch himself to be sure that this was not a dream—it wasn't. —Focus, master. Now that your parents are awake, you have unlocked the second phase of your mission, which begins now, the ultimate test that you're about to face will determine if you're worthy of your powers and all

    A few weeks later, Andrew's parents were well enough to be discharged from the hospital, and Andrew could not have been more glad. He threw a party on their return—the party only included himself, his parents, his immediate family, the house workers, and Pa Jones. Since he had not yet revealed himself to the others; his friends, and office workers about his return, no one esle had been invited to the party. Andrew felt his life was complete again; he was almost the richest man in the country, and his parents, who he thought had died, were alive and well. It was a swell moment for him. Lisa was the one who was growing increasingly worried that Andrew was now staying back from the office and avoiding contact with everyone else. Poor Patrick had been to the house several times to check up on her. Lisa couldn't tell why, but Andrew had instructed that she should not let him know that Andrew had returned, and each time Patrick left the house with a sad look on his face, she would ask A

    Andrew had failed to recover his car from the ice cream shop. He Would have taken up the issue concerning his stolen car, but the car was the least of his problems now, and he had all the money to replace the car he needed. He was more concerned for his parents' health than anything else. He was glad that Lisa had patiently listened to him when he took his time to explain That people were onto him, And they would stop at nothing to make sure that, they saw Andrew suffer, and she had to be grateful that he had found their daughter and rescued her just in time before those men got away. He hadn't given her the full details of the story, just the necessary parts, and debunked every other thing that Dora had said. When Lisa confronted him about what Dora had said about him having superpowers, he laughed about it, making the laugh so real, and deep down, he was only passing time and thinking of what to say that would sound convincing enough. "Would you believe that?!" Andrew said after

    Emilia ran her eyes over both men before she responded. "Yes, Diego is in, and do you wish to see him?!" Emilia asked back. "No, no, I do not want to see Diego; I was just making sure.""Okay but who are you two?!" Emilia asked them with question gazes. "Um, my name is Reginald, and I know that I can confide in you, Emilia. So please tell me, Is Mr Genius here?!"Emilia continued to stare at both of them for a while before she responded. "I don't think there's anyone that bears that name in this place. " She said plainly. "Is there anyone who bears Mr Andrew here?!" Reginald asked, rephrasing his sentence. Emilia tried to hide the look that she had made when Reginald mentioned Andrew's name. "No, there's no one that bears that name here either!" She said promptly and tried to dismiss both of them. "I think you too should leave now or haven't I answered all your questions?!""Please do not raise your voice, Emelia!" Reginald pleaded as he looked around, hoping that they would no

    Andrew was already making arrangements to get his parents moved to a better hospital that was just a minute's drive away from his house, and in no time, parents had been transferred, all thanks to Pa Jones help, who had assisted in filling out all the paperwork that was necessary for making the transfer. Andrew had made sure that he had sorted out all the hospital bills where his parents had been and thanked them heartily before leaving. It was not until dusk when his parents had been settled into the new hospital before Andrew remembered that he had not yet retrieved his car from the ice cream shop. "Darn it! How can I be this forgetful these days?" Andrew lamented to himself. He knew going back to get the car would be a lost cause because already the car would have been stolen because he had kept the key to the car carelessly for any lucky thief to find. "What's the matter young chap?" Pa Jones, who had noticed the change in Andrew, could not help himself but ask. "My car. I w

    "This way, we have to hide before anyone sees us!" Reginald said, searching for a Place that they could both hide. Rolling out of the building was not an option now As they were a long distance away from the door. "I thought you said that only the front passage is used for entry and exit, so why is it that someone is coming now that we are making our way in?" Patrick asked angrily. "There's no time to ask silly questions but just follow me so that we can hide from whoever is coming!" Reginald held back from yelling at Patrick. Patrick gritted his teeth in anger but had no other choice than to follow Reginald into hiding. They found the perfect spot behind one of the doors that they could hide from whoever was approaching. Reginald crossed his fingers and shot his eyes tightly as he prayed that Diego was not the one approaching the passageway Because if it was, it would not take a minute or two for Diego to sniff out strangers in his building. Patrick was about to say something w

    "Look, the reason why I do not want to go in there is because I'm not on good terms with Diego." Reginald tried to explain to Patrick that every other thing that he had said to make Patrick give the document back to him had fallen by the side of Patrick's ears. "That's a lie, Reginald, and I am not going to fall for your lies anymore.""Believe me, and it would not even make sense if I should just go to the door, knock on me,t, and ask Diego to release Mr genius; it doesn't work that way,,y does it?!" Reginald asked Rhetorically. "That is why we are going to break him out, and I am not giving these documents back to you unless you help me!" Patrick affirmed. "Shit!" Reginald cursed under his breath. "This was not part of the agreement, boss.""Well, it is now!" Patrick stated. "Now come on let's go. How do we get in without being spotted by anyone especially not by Diego?""That's not any of my business, bosses. Now. Give me back the document and let me be on my way; I told you to

    Andrew didn't realize how much he hated Hospitals until he walked into the place. "Man, this place reeks, is this really where my parents were Kept?!" Andrew asked the old man in displeasure. "Yes, this is the place, and why are you holding onto your nostrils like that, lad?" The old man asked when he looked up and noticed Andrew's fingers were still clenched onto his nose tightly. "I do not like the smell of this place" Andrew replied him. "Well, you better start getting used to it because we're going to be in here for a while." The old man informed him. Andrew suddenly stopped in his tracks as if remembering something. The old man noticed this and turned around to meet Andrew's gaze. "What's the matter, lad? You're tired already?!" "No, I'm not tired; I just have this weird feeling...I can't wait to see my parents.....""Well, that's where we are headed for now. We're almost there, we're just three rooms away.
