Meanwhile, Rodger had been tailing on the car Jason rode in. He had found something quite suspicious with him and made up his mind to follow the young man.There were three dark cars tailing on each other, and Rodger kept a close eye on them while he drove and avoided being distracted by other motorists. However, when they got to an intersection, they split up, confusing the curious man on whom to tail on.He growled in frustration as he missed the chance of getting closer to Jason. He had to derail from the road, and halt his car somewhere beside the road.It was now that his eyes met his phone, which had been beeping continuously. A silent hiss left his lips as he decided to answer the call.“Natalie…”“Rodger, oh, thank goodness you finally answered your call, I got some findings about Alex” she muffled in a hast as her footsteps entered the background.He could perceive that she was running, he beckoned on her to give him a lucid detail.“Damn! I suspected that Jason… I heard him
It took time for the warders to take Natalie out of the way because she was weakened and couldn't move a muscle.She was still devastated where she was when suddenly someone tapped her from behind. Natalie hesitated to take a look at whom it could be, as she wasn't thinking straight, and her mind was void.This girl was subconscious where she stood crying and lamenting. The weary girl wiped her tears and shoved her face at who touched her. Shockingly, it was Rodger. She was left agape as her heart beat ceased its function for a moment. Could she be seeing his ghost?Natalie shuddered and attempted to assume it was a ghost, but he held her hand and said;“I'm alive Natalie… it's me, Rodger, see” he buttressed shoving his fingers across her stuttering eyes and staring at her.She was still puzzled when he hugged her passionately to confirm that he was alive and injury by the crash, but how could that be? He must have been the one calling on the phone, but because she was petrified, she
“It's okay Natalie, you're making me scared because with your tears, it's as though I'm dead” he teased, and she chuckled but then ceased instantly.“I'm just, well, scared” she confessed blinking her eyes to chase away the tears that desired to roll off. Rodger had to explain that he got a call from his mother earlier and the tracker was directed under the bridge, but he lost her due to distraction; because of the loud crash he had at the top of the bridge.Natalie narrated to him about the sudden behavior between Kim and Cynthia and what she thinks must have probably led to the change in character.“Did you say he ran away when sighting… Cynthia?”“Yes” she mused as Rodger was trying to get an understanding.“And you think it's because he feared injections? If he was scared of injections, he would have run away while sighting you also, along with other nurses passing by” he buttressed cracking his brain for a lucid evaluation of the issue.Natalie narrowed her brows at him, wonderin
The whole place was silent as his boggy eyes fought to stay awake. He could see that he was in outer space colored in white and was chained to a stretcher.He wriggled his body trying to get loose but no lose. It has been 24 hours since he went missing and was locked up in a psychiatric ward where he was injected with drugs that made him subconscious and lose his mind over.Suddenly weird imaginations began to lurk up his brain, viewing the evil nurse who often injected him every hour as a giant.He screams, writhes, pleads and cried but nothing was working. The person who was kept to keep an eye on him was more like a lunatic.Most people kept in the psychiatric ward usually behave like mad people, and he was behaving like one because of the strange injections given to him.If much of it was given to him, his heart would cease, and he would die instantly. The nurse was careful of the dosage she gave to him.He was acting all wild and losing his sense of reasoning slowly. No one was c
He licked his lips as a drop of his blood touched his lips. Alex felt his head was exploding because of the pressure mounted on him.The meal he requested for was brought before him. He didn't even have an appetite to eat, but had to because he requested of it in the first place.Jason took the tray of meal from the nurse and desired to tease Alex with it.“Tell us where it is or else no meal…”There was no way they would give this man privacy except he tells them where he hid it.“Underneath the inscription which writes 3kilometer down the copra hill” he spit out and the two mafias chuckled. Jason rubbed his hair and then scoffed at Alex's face.“Don't think you can deceive us…”“I'm right! Don't you want the truth?” He roared at Jason, who smirked at him.“If it turns out to be a lie, I would shoot your skull out”“I'm going to die either way if you find it, why don't you let me eat my last supper before dying?” Alex mused, panting heavily. Jason wasn't liking the fact that Alex was
Pretty chuckled naughty as he aided Alex up. He was ready to elope with this man who makes his heart skip. He so much had hope in Alex that he wouldn't betray him, judging from his life tale.Alex had to muster all strength to leave this place, he couldn't afford to stay in the psychiatric ward any longer.It seems pretty had it all planned with the way he aided Alex out. He was ready to risk it all for Alex, who of course would send this lunatic to jail once he escaped.They managed to escape from the ward and pretty led Alex away. He made a few calls and soon a car rode to pick them up.Alex heaved a sigh as soon as he noted that the driver had taken them out from that place. Pretty was massaging his body romantically, despite Alex rejecting.What Alex had to do now was to escape pretty and his driver. He had to beckon to pretty that he needed to ease himself outside. Of course, pretty wouldn't reject his offer.However, pretty intended to go with him because somehow, he couldn't te
Mrs. Helen sniffed again, folded her lips and sigh. He was right, she needed to apologize to Alex if truly she regrets what she has done.“I can't…”“You have to bury your pride, Mrs. Helen!” Rodger snapped, folding his knuckles as he was enraged and stressed over her attitude.“Alright… when you find him, bring him over” she muttered rubbing her ruffled hair.“You certainly went hard on me Rodger, what if those thugs killed me just to get the truth?” She mused, wincing and he scoffed.“It's called pay back…the laws cannot punish someone like you, and so I take the laws into my hands…take care mother” he concluded, walking out on her. She was heartbroken by his last speech. If he could tell her goodbye with that agonized look, it meant she wouldn't be seeing him again and had cut off ties from her.She sobbed the more as she bow her head and tear up. Her greatest regret was never showing him how much she loves him and never being a good mother.“I hate myself” she commented.***He st
The sun was up and mild on the skin. Perhaps it knew that today, might favor someone. It glows smiled naughtily on people who walk beneath it.It was Monday morning and activities had jerked back to normal with so many people hurrying to get to their place of work.During the rush hours, some people could be seen trooping towards the court. Today was the trial of the man who almost destroyed the life of everyone in the city.He was brought forth to the court with probing eyes and keen ears all around him. What probably would the court declare over him?After all the proceeding that were to be carried in the court, the prosecutor started his speech. Lucian, who stood in the jury box, had his head bow, wondering what the judge would say about him.Alex couldn't keep his promise of releasing him out because he was abducted, and now he has to face the cops.The media as usual were outside the court, while some inside wanting to be engaged in the proceedings. Everyone gathered were agitate
His nervous eyes suddenly turned dark as his tender feet hide behind his mother. His chapped lips muttered some words as his sad face could prove that something troubled him. He looked timid as his ears tingled at the sounds he heard which drew his attention to the scene displaying before him. He sensed the tears of children, wives and mothers. They were at the train station and soon, those they came to say goodbye to would depart. It made him scared as his eyes met the gaze of the young man who intended to kiss his mother. The place he stood with his mother was rowdy and it gave him goosebumps as his hands held the garment his mother held. His grip on the garment of his mother tighten as a young man waved at him with tears gathered in his eyes. It felt that was the last moments he would see the one person he looked up to. This lad had a lot of disappointment buried inside of him and had wishes to turn back time. Today was a day his lips had to mutter goodbye to his father who was a s
Dark tree trunks, shadows, overhanging limbs across the path seen at the last second, clumps of bushes, barely visible black trails snaking through the undergrowth. The moon shone through a lattice of leaves, patchy sky and stars seen in glimpses through tree breaks, tall shadowed pines stretching up like arrows into the sky, streaks of cloud against the earth, Wind slipping through leaves, cracking undergrowth with each step, creaking tree trunks, the flutter of wings unseen, snapping twigs, grass. Heavy pants could be heard through this dangy wood as a man could be seen covered in blood while holding a little child in his arms. His torn outfit, bruised face, dangling hair could tell he was escaping. His feet never gave a halt to the impending danger behind him as surviving from his raging foes was all that matter. He curdled this petrified child tightly, groaned in pains and tottered deeper into the woods. His only energy was the child he vowed to keep alive despite the pains and hu
He held a mini box in his hands and a headphone on. His lips mumbling words and his head nodding slowly. His feet stride slowly as the environment he found himself seems to be isolated except the creepy sounds of insects. A soft sigh left his lips as his eyes gazed around and then rested on a building in front of him. From the looks of it, he knew the reason why he was here in this abandoned building that would now become his own. He had no fear about what possibly could happen here. Rumors had it that the past occupants here never survived a night. A finger of his ran through his ruffled hair as he bit his lips and smirked. It was never his wish to come here but then circumstances made him do so. He was never good at anything yet had a dream to be a doctor and enrolled in a medicine school only to get kicked out due to a conspiracy and sent here to the tower of death. Magic was the key in that school and every perpetrator of a heinous crime was sent here as a death sentence, though w
The swirling wind swept across the place as the cloud had gathered for a heavy downpour giving signs for the victim of it's wrath. The dark was drawing in and people could be seen hurrying to take shelter away from the impending storm that would come upon them. Steadily, a downpour began wetting the earth and anything its stroke could come upon. Stacy was found in her pyjamas, t-shirt, flipflop slippers and face cap striding in the rain which had become heavy. Her hair were being toss aside by the whirlwind as the cold for the day had captured her. She had no idea of where she was heading to. There were no cabs around neither did she look like one who was ready to go home. At that moment, she wanted death to come take her. It was definitely over but too soon. The situation got her asking why it always had to be her. Why did she pull an act that had a bitter ending. Did he know she had to swallow her pride to hug him in people's presence? He felt like a gentleman who would understand h
Ryan smiled and began a speech by saying it was an honor to be seated with kings and queens of the upper hands. He had only seen them in TV and they look cute in real life. Furthermore, he praised them a bit to lighten up the mood mostly the ruthless looking emperor who let out a sided smile at the young man's adornment. Stacy was troubled that he wouldn't win her father but it seems like he would because the emperor loved praises. The only people who were against them were her brothers. Ryan had to lie about the companies he had and awards won as a distinguish businessman. The emperor went further to ask how much his assets worth and Stacy answered that on his behalf. The only man was someone who loved proof and couldn't be bought easily. The prepared Stacy had that with her which left Ryan stunned. The emperor was impressed by that as only a wealthy man, posed and perfect could be accepted to the family as though his were perfect because from Ryan's observation, this family was fall
She tried to speak, but was choked with tears. Her tearstained face was puffy and swollen with grief, crestfallen, she realised that her only chance to succeed was gone. However, proving the guest wrong was her aim. Her stunning wedding dress which had buried her suit her perfectly as she was groomed beautifully for this day. Today would have been the most remarkable day of her life if it wasn't screwed up by her groom. Here she was in the dress room cussing at every scene that had happened an hour ago. Her supposed groom had just rejected her last minutes to the wedding ceremony. If it were her wish, she would have halted the time. It was so embarrassing and agonizing for her as she needed to stay strong and sought a way out. Attempting not to freak out, she began to comfort herself.At that moment, time had stopped as the gnawing grief still held her still. Her make had almost wash away from the uncontrollable tears while she stood facing the mirror as her mind contemplated. She fol
The sun had risen up steadily as it shone its ray through windows which slightly paved way for it to penetrate. It bright light rested on her forehead as her mouth let out a gasp which was accompanied by a groan. She fluttered her lashes slowly trying to get her eyes open. Her body felt weaken and glued to where she laid. Gradually, her blurry vision was becoming vivid and it got to her notice that she was in a room. Her hands raked her rumbled hair as she felt like she was in a trace. The few memories she could recall was being locked up in a capsule and found herself staggering towards a foggy area. Her brown eyes scrutinized the room which didn't look like a ward or hers. The confused lady felt her temperature which was warm and then rolled her gaze to the window which gave way for the sun to greet her."What happened?" She questioned as though someone would give her the answers she needed. Miranda winced with pain while trying to massage her body. She still couldn't understand wha
Doctor Eric had his eyes on the young man who had been trapped inside this capsule for 20 years. He often wondered how his mentor knew about the miseries of passing through a border between the living and afterlife. The young doctor still had his speculations if he should cut this first experiment out of life. Furthermore, how did he survive in a foreign world all these years? He had thought that was the end of the young man but someone proved he was still alive and striving to live. It must have been difficult for this first experiment to adapt and face difficulty.Eric hadn't muster up courage to do as professor Henry commanded and he knew if the old man turns up, he would cut him off. For now, he was all alone in the laboratory and time wasn't on their side. From observation, the second experiment was left with 24 hours to return. He raked his left brow and strides towards Miranda's capsule, she was breathing just fine and had no complications yet. Though, he never could tell what
They arrived at an abandoned factory and he gestured to her that she had only few minutes to hand over the letter. She cleared her throat as she mustered up courage to seek after Eloise who needed to see the letter which her father brought to her. Thanks to someone, she got to her destination and found the Eloise's location. She was a teenage girl who lived in an forgotten factory and had no one asking after her. Tyler chose to stay outside but Miranda had no confident to enter this dark, lonely factory alone and requested Tyler comes along promising she wouldn't trouble him further. Furiously, he got a torchlight and led the way while she was clingy from behind. She had even banged her head on his back due to how close she was and he retorts at her to stay inches away from him. She apologized and stepped ahead of him as he handed her the torchlight since she decided to take the lead not to trouble this gloomy man. They were different doors in this factory and Tyler's voice gave her d
