Dora couldn't hide her excitement as they got to the ice cream shop. Andrew carefully parked in front of the shop in a spot where he would not obstruct anybody. "Daddy, Daddy, let's go get the ice cream!" Dora said excitedly, bobbing up and down in the back seat. "Yes, that is where we are headed right now." Andrew giggled at his daughter's excitement and got out of the car. He went to the back, took off the seatbelt from his daughter, and helped her out of the car. "Hurry Daddy, let's go get some ice cream!" Dora urged on as she dragged her father inside the building. "Slow down, Dora," Andrew said. Dora was pulling at his hand, dragging him into the shop but all her might. When they got into the shop, Andrew made his daughter order ice cream for herself. She chose a great spot in the shop and ate away at her ice cream. Andrew kept staring at his watch as Dora ate. The way he on his wrist could help him control his powers and also substituted as a normal watch for him so he co
Diego's journey back to his hideout was swift and smooth. He hadn't thought that he would have been able to get back home without any hassles after all the trouble that he had caused in the past few months. When he got back, Emilia was ready to welcome him but he didn't like what he saw when she stepped into the light to hug him. "Emilia, my darling, what in the world happened to you?" He asked as a scowl settled on his face. "Oh my face?" Emilia said, pretending like she was superised herself to see the briuses on her face. "I just fell into a ditch that's all!" She lied, w weak smile creeping into the corners of her lips. "You fell into a ditch?" Diego repeated, still observing her very closely. Diego could tell that she was lying. He was used to her lies already and ibly had to press on to get the truth out of her. He knew that whenever Emilia lied, it was either to protect herself or to protect someone else. It was obvious that the injury on Emilia's face was not as a result
Both men were ordered to be taken and locked inside the dungeon. The dungeon was still locked but they had managed to break the lock open and replace it with a new lock. "Sorry about this guys, but we hope that you don't die after Diego is done with you." The friends of the men said to them as they were being thrown into the dungeon and locked up like prisoners. "Darn it, Ethan, what the fuck have we gotten ourselves into?""We? You are on your own you dumb fool, you got us into this and now you have to figure out how to get us out of this mess!!" The other man bellowed at him."What are you yelling at me for Ethan?" The other man let out, his face creasing into a frown. "You misplaced the fucking keys to the dungeon and you let that stupid man escape from here!!""You know it wasn't my fault, Ethan, you were there when I woke up and couldn't find the keys anymore, I thought it must have been Emilia who took it but it wasn't her this time......""Hold it there!" Ethan said to the o
Patrick closed the files in front of him and got up from the chair as he rushed into the toilet to ease himself. He adjusted the head of his belt when he got out of the toilet. He rushed towards the table and opened his briefcase before he took Reginald's personal file and placed it inside. "Is it necessary to take the file home, I only need his phone number." Patrick contemplated for a moment before he took the file back out and searched for Reginald's phone number. He took out his phone and copied the number into his phone before he kept his phone back on the table. He closed his suitcase and headed for the door—he was done for the day at the office already. He would Inform the secretary on his way out of the office to get the files that she had brought in and take them back to her office. "Hmm, hmm, I don't think that's a good idea." Patrick stopped to think. He couldn't afford to let anyone—not even the secretary have easy access to his office, which could be detrimental to h
Days felt like months and minutes; like hours in the dungeon that Ethan and Mike had been kept in. It seemed as if Diego had forgotten them in the dungeon, the day of reckoning lingering in the air like a plague. Ethan got up tiredly from the floor and did a little starch before he made his way to the gates and back. The hope that he had of escaping was hanging by a little thread. He had no idea when Diego was going to strike—as days went by, it seemed Diego was eventually going to have mercy on them but Ethan knew that was not the case. Diego was unpredictable but this case was an exemption. Ethan desperately wanted to know what Diego was up to. Could Diego be giving them time to escape? Ethan knew that was not the case. What if they would eventually escape and instead of sprinting Into freedom they were concocting more perils for themselves? "Why are you getting yourselves all worked up for?" Mike's voice boomed from behind Ethan, causing him to shut his eyes tightly and pinch
Andrew didn't have to think twice before he pressed down against his watch and summoned Valkyron. —master you summoned me— Valkyron let out as its screen hummed. "My daughter's missing, Valkyron!" Andrew said without allowing Valkyron to complete his sentence. "My daughter has gone missing, I...I was having this strange sensation all over my back...I went out to check what it was and when I came back...My daughter was gone, gone Valkyron, gone." Andrew let out in panic. "I have searched all over the place but I cannot find her anywhere. Where is she, Valkyron, please, I need to find my daughter!" Andrew cried out. —your daughter was taken, master—Andrew stopped crying and turned to look at the humming screen hovering beside him,"What do you mean my daughter was taken?!" Andrew let out in shock. —look out the window, master, she was taken by some men and they are still around here— Valkyron informed him. "What?!" Andrew let out, causing the people around to turn around and fi
Andrew hadn't believed that he would have been able to teleport back to the house with another human being, it would have been wonderful if he had taken his time to stop and think about it, but there was no time to waste anymore. "Daddy, you just...you just..." Dora couldn't seem to get her words out as she found themselves back in her room, she was still star-struck by what she had been a witness to. She looked around with widened eyes, surprised as to his they had gotten here so quickly. "Just stay here alright honey, I'm going to be right back!" Andrew let, apprehension evident in his voice as he spoke, how was he going to face his daughter now with what she had just seen him do? He knew that things between them would change by the time he got back and their relationship would probably be strained. "Daddy, where are you going to?" Dora asked, her brows creasing into a frown. "Just hold on. I know you have so many things to ask me, but just know that you do not have to be afra
Emilia had started to distance herself from Diego ever since she found out that somebody had tampered with his source of power. Emilia had at least expected him to assemble all of his goons just like the way he did when he realized that Andrew had gone missing, but he did not, which could only mean one thing—he did not suspect any of them, and anytime soon, he would come to confront her about it because it seemed to her like he had an idea that she knows who had or must have been the one to breach the walls of where Diego's powers lay. Just as Emilia had thought, that evening when Diego got back from wherever he went, he came over and sat across from her, staring at her with an intent gaze. Emilia swallowed as she tried to ignore Diego's intense gaze on her. When she mustered the courage to finally look up at him, she was met by a pair of eyes that seemed to bore deep into her soul as if wanting to uncover every secret that lay beneath Emilia's cloak. Emilia found herself sweating
