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 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!"

    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

    "Diego please, I beg of you—you're scaring me!" Emilia let out, trying to get away from him. She was not only scared for her life but was extremely embarrassed that she had to expose herself this way in front of Diego. This was not the first time that Diego would see her naked body but this time was different. She was now ashamed of the same body that she had once taken pride in. "I'm scaring you? If you think this is scary, then you have not seen anything yet!" Diego said sternly to her which only made Emilia scared to the core. "Diego, please, just let me go out something on; I'm cold," Emilia said, pretending to shiver slightly. Diego was about to say something when he paused to look at Emilia. The anger that he felt Inside had been quenched by what had had just said. "You feel cold?!" He asked with genuine concern etched in his voice. "Yes, I am; I need to cover up, Diego... please!" Emilia let out, knowing that she had hit the right core. "Let me get something for you to c

    Andrew materialized in front of the car, stunning the men even more. There was a look of dread on both men's faces as they backed away from Andrew. "What the heck are you?!" One of the men screamed while pointing a finger at him. "I am your worst nightmare!" Andrew replied in a low and dangerous tone, they had no idea of what they were about to face, Andrew was going to make sure that he dealt with them until they become unrecognisable. "Stay away from us." The other man let out. Andrew looked around the area, it seemed they were in the middle of nowhere—that was perfect for Andrew, he could be in a place where he could use his powers to the extreme and not raise an alarm amongst passerby. "I'm afraid that won't be possible. You touched one of the people most precious to my heart and now, I'm going to make you pay." Andrew seethed with hate. "You jerk, you think we're afraid of you?!" Both men already had their fists rolled into balls, ready to take a swing at Andrew. They did

    The rays of sun filtered in through the windows and rested on Patrick's face. He groaned and used his forearm to shut the sun out from his face. "Ugh, I don't want to wake up now, mum!" He said from his sleep and grudgingly stood up. He had not realized where he was until he placed a foot on the floor and felt something sting him underneath his foot, and a sharp pain followed immediately. "Ouch!" He shrieked and looked down on the floor. He was surprised to see broken pieces of a bottle scattered all over the floor, a portion of the floor filled with the dried-up liquid that had poured onto it. "How did all of this get here?!" He asked and then, the memories from last night started coming to him slowly. "Ah geez!" He let out when he could recall everything that happened from last night. Blood was already sprawling out of his leg and soon the floor was filled with his blood. The scent of fresh blood, dried vomit, and Alcohol filled his nostrils and made him gag. "Shit, I've got

    Andrew smiled when he heard both men already fighting themselves to stupor, he had gotten into their heads and turned the both of them against one another, he had intended to make them fight till they drop dead but when they told him that do you go was responsible for the failed attempt at kidnapping his daughter, then he definitely that they would fight until they somehow made their way back to Diego. How they were going to make their way back to Diego while they were still at battle was none of his business, but he had made it so that unless they came in contact with Diego, that was when they would stop fighting immediately. Andrew stopped in the middle of nowhere and closed his eyes so he could teleport back to the house—Dora's toilet precisely, to make it look like he had just gone to ease himself in the toilet. He opened the door to see his daughter still waiting patiently for him. He felt his heart melt at the such of his faith sitting patiently in the same spot that he had l

    Andrew turned around with Dora in his arms to face Lisa with a look of dread etched all over his face. "Are you hiding something from me, Andrew? Now give me back it child!" She ordered, putting her hand out in front of her as she went towards him and grabbed Dora from him, setting her down on the ground. "Now tell me, Dora, what was it that Daddy asked you not to tell me?!" Lisa glared at Andrew before looking down at her daughter, waiting for her to respond. "It's nothing!" Andrew tried to speak up for Dora, who just kept on smiling from ear to ear, poking a finger inside her mouth. "Let her speak for herself, Andrew!!" Lisa retorted. What she hated the most was when people Kept things away from her. Even Before Andrew had been kidnapped, she had suspected that he was keeping things back from her. When she had vowed to herself that she would uncover whatever it was that Andrew was keeping away from her, she thought she had been overthinking the whole thing when she did her inve

    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

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

"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.
