The cold of the noon flew pass the city as a Lamborghini drove pass a company which stood elegantly in the city centre. It made a halt at the entrance of the building and its doors flung open.The media personnels which stood in wait by the entrance flooded the car at once as the occupants of the car could barely step out. The place was becoming rowdy as journalist pressed further to grab something vital while here.Instantly, some bouncers joggled towards the mob of news press and shoved them aside from the car. Like a suspense before their eyes, two pairs of shoes stepped out. Soon, the being came out in his full figure.Flash lights flooded his face, he had a stern look and didn't seem impressed by what was going on. His was dressed in wealth which could tell he was an elite in the society."Mr Rodger, is the accusations laid upon you true?" A journalist screamed and soon other questions began trooping in. The bouncers created a pathway through their midst and to make barriers to p
Her eyes scrutinized the area, nervousness filled her face as she intended to sneak out through the exit door but the security around were tight that she could barely escape.Instantly, she made a U-turn and took the route meant for the elites of this company but it was heavily guarded, hence she needed to derail for another path."What do I do?" She mused panicking and searching her brain for an idea, though none was popping through. This girl couldn't afford to be caught after all the stress she went through to get what she ventured for over here. Her feet race through the stairs and in a bide to escape being caught, she mistakenly bumped into someone making a jewelry fall from the pouch which hung across her shoulder to the waist.Quickly, she collected it from the ground and hide it along with her face from being recognized. Her teeth gnashed against each other as she pretended nothing happened and intended to walk pass him but this man was like a barrier for her to move through.
"what's going on?" A voice cried in the dark and Alex had to stand up while assuring that everything was going to be fine and he needed to check what was going on.The young lady beckoned on them to switch on the lights on their gadget while she goes along with Alex to check what the situation was outside.Adding to the troubles was the fact that there was no network connections in this place. Something was definitely fishy and the smart ones could perceive that.Unexpectedly, a bullet flew pass where Alex stood and it burst through the curtains which caused grave panic. No one knew where they came from, but all they knew was they were in a state of emergency and anyone could drop dead.First, he needed to save everyone from this state, however, there was no plan on how he was going to do just that. Another bullet was shot and this time, it hit the shoulder of the second man seated at the left wing of this room. Everyone swiveled their at the man who fell limply on the ground."Profes
It felt tensed up here as he couldn't help but stare at this woman before him, she was brave, dealing with the bad guys before Lucian showed up with the cops to save the day also. As for him, he hid behind her, horror-stricken and never brave enough to fight besides, they were with weapons!Lucian hasten up to get those injuried treated before attending to Alex who had been behind this young woman."Evelyn, what happened?" Lucian asked scrutinizing the area which had been affected by bullets. He was shocked to see what was ongoing just the few minutes he stepped out."Ambushed" alex responded as he saw the cops storming inside. They could find some of the serial killers wounded on the ground."Who would have done this?" She asked with a stern look at the window. Alex was worried if perhaps she was hurt rather than being bothered by who would have done this.It got to his notice that the men who stood outside in watch was murdered and since this meeting room was sound proofed, it was d
It was his bride who found him by the ocean, she cartwalked to where he stood, embraced him and almost gave him an ardent kiss but he shoved her away gently.His eyes strolled over to where Evelyn could be but she was gone yet again."Ethan, you always get me worried, what would I have done, if I lost you?" She cried giving him another embrace.The secretary at last found Ethan, he had been racing after the lad who left him on sighting Evelyn downstairs. He wondered why his boss was chasing after a woman rather than ordering his men to get a hold of her.And now, it was Sophia! Not wanting to let him go. The secretary had to do the honor to gesture the name through signs to Ethan who gasped."Sophia! Wow, how did you get here?"The lady blinked her eyes at him, she always comes around and didn't need permission to see her groom. He haven't even apologized for running off on their wedding day. However, she was glad he wasn't harm.He knew the next question which would come in but he wa
"that's Jessica" his secretary announced while jumping out of the car, his nervous gaze could tell he knew what this lady was up to. "What do you think you're doing..." "Stay out of this" she retorts to lucian while walking towards Alex who had gotten out of the car. Quickly, she brought out a file and shoved it towards him but Lucian was standing in between and so the file landed on his own face. "How could you frame me Ethan? Really? After everything my father and I did for you?" "What are you saying?" Alex questioned taking the file from Lucian who swallowed hard and whispered some words to him. Alex had to place himself in the shoes of Ethan and it got him perplexed even to say a word to the furious lady. He had thought everyone was scared of him but from the looks of it, this lady wasn't talk less of the secretary. "You got framed? By me? How could that be when I was literally dead?" Alex wondered to himself and thought about how he was going to end the case because he had
"How would would you do that?" Alex beckoned with probing eyes and she let out a sigh, impressed that he plans was going according to her plan.***She pulled out the stained clothes she had on, picked a bottle of gin and then lit up a secret, she stride her feet to the bathroom where she could wash off the blood stains on her.Soon, when she was done, she headed to the sitting room and switched on the tv to give a listening ear over what the press release would be for the day.The headlines were about what transpired earlier at the chvala company and from the looks of it the blame was turned over to the CEO who launched a counter attack."You screwed up Ethan, couldn't just have handle it? what's wrong with you?" she mused, groaned and bashed the gin in her hand over the table. It broke into pieces and the strong smell made her smirk.Suddenly, another sound was heard, and this time it was from her balcony, someone must have lurk in to spy. She had no weapon on her and needed to act
One would wonder how Alex got over to Evelyn's house when few hours ago, he was at the garage with Jessica. Possibly Jessica must have told him Evelyn had an important item and headed straight to the place she resided. Perhaps, he had found this woman petrified over someone and decided to give a helping hand.Evelyn scoffed and stride towards the sitting room, while he paced after her, pressuring her to hand over the item. She let out a smirk, picked a cigarette and handed another to Alex who refute, he also beckoned on her not to smoke in his presence."I don't have it" she snapped sniffing and pacing to and fro in her scattered sitting room."You're lying, hand it over! or else...""I would die either way, do you think I'm a fool?" she cuts in locking her fingers together with a frown on the face.Alex was pushed to bring out the weapon he had with him because in such scenerio, threat was needed to make sure a person surrender.She scoffed, folded her lips and nodded."That's what I
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
