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
Jex snickered and nodded his head while saying;“Wow, you should be gifted the best villain award for the year”Rex scoffed, he felt like punishing this insane man to death already.“Where did you keep it!!!” Jason roared at, shot him on the leg in anger. Jex whimpered as he growled in pain. Rodger clenched his fist and didn't say anything.“You would never get it!!” Jax roared and acted like though he had collapsed.“What have you done, Jason!” Rex scolded as Jason puffed into the air. This time around, he was pointing the gun at Rex not to question what he does but just go along with his plans.“How do we get it!” Rex tried reasoning with vicious beast, who was venting his anger on everyone. He wished to shoot Alex in the brains.“We would get it through that damn whore, Natalie! Let's finish him off!” Jason snarled cocking the trigger and shoving the gun back to Rex, this time, he was pointing it to his head which he desired it should get shattered.Rodger needed to intervene, and
PRESENTLY,It was obvious that the videos and voice note provided by Alex and his team was enough to set Alex free from prison. He was abducted by Jason and almost killed if the cops haven't intervened.Pretty winced as he stared at Alex, who gave him a devious smile. It made the love drunken man perplexed.Alex was set free from all the wrong allegations made against him right that moment, and a search warrant was made for Jason and the other mafias. For the unidentified old man, he was declared missing.Lucian was made to spend three years in jail while his accomplice Evelyn was released on bail, all thanks to Alex.Mrs. Helen was to spend seven years, she would have been released, but she took the blame for murdering Natalie's family while painting her son innocent. It was the only sacrifice she could do for him.This time around, the laws weren't going to favor the wrong doers because Alex would make sure they suffer the consequences and if the laws favour them, then he would plac
His feet stride closer to where the chuckle was coming from, and he shot without taking a look at who it was. Oddly enough, it was a puppet kept.“Stop playing around! Coward!” Jason roared, still shooting in the air until his bullets ran out.“Damn it!” He cussed, intending to load his gun. However, he had no bullet left. That was when Alex appeared, dressed in suite and having a glass of wine in his hand. He sipped a bit and then gave the bemused Jason a sided smile.Jason pointed the gun at Alex to perhaps scare him that it was loaded, but Alex was aware that it had no threat inside.“Care for a drink?” Alex offer adjusting his collar as Jason scoffed in disbelief. The way Alex was composed as a tough mafia who toys with his victims before sending them to the grave gave him goosebumps.“You must be joking” Jason mocked stun by this man who acted like though they were buddies.“What of dessert?” He furthered glaring at Jason, who seemed terrified but acted all brave.“None!” Jason r
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
