The silence of the night was disturbed by footsteps, four legs could be sighted pacing towards the beach. Their suspicious gaze rested on the sea shores, while waiting in anticipation for someone.The screeching of car was heard behind them in a short while, and a man dressed in black appeared, he had dark glasses on inspite of the darkness that had crept in. It was hard to tell who this man was, as the two men before him had no idea of who they were even working for. But that wasn't their concern, as long as he would give them the money for the job he had asked them to do, they were fine by it.The first man brought out an envelope and handed it to the man in glasses, while delivering the message."She has gone over to visit him sir"The man hummed, took a glove and wore while bringing out the items stuffed in the envelope.They contained ammunition which seemed to be used."This would be used against him" the voice murmured with a glowering stare at the second man who crossed his h
His eyes kept following the ticking clock on his desk, he was scared to go back to his room just not to be confronted by another woman, and so decided to spend the night in a different room.Sleep wasn't knocking just yet and so it made him restive. Alex cuddled himself with the large pillow, he rewind the scene that had happened since his arrival in this new world.He was finding it crazy yet intriguing and suddenly desired to see how it ends. The people around him must have noticed the changes he display.The beeping of his phone made him shudder as it was close to his right ear where he laid. His eyes rolled to take a look at what seems to be a message.It was from an unknown number and the message reads;"We know your secret and we are coming for you"He sprints up from the bed wondering who sent him that daring message, and then another surfaced on the screen."You can buy out your way, as you always do"His suspended fingers on the screen texted "how""Let's meet"The unknown b
She kept taking note of each minute spent here, why did she even agree to the deal? It was just because he threatened her to come along and offered to pay too. There was no weapon on her and she wondered how she would defend him.Rather than keeping watch, over who was coming, her eyes were stuck on him.She couldn't help but ponder on what would be his plan next after here, having known that she over his house to steal and ending up saving him.At long last, someone walked into the scene, he crept towards where Alex stood. She could sense they were talking in whispers and then the stranger chuckling.There was something cunning in this stranger and Natalie finds it suspicious. Her legs had to move closer just to hear what they were saying."You gave the order to assassinate them, don't try anything stupid because I have backups" the man snarled as he requested that he needed a certain amount of money."Who did you assassinate?" Alex muttered gazing at the man who scoff briefly and Al
It was dawn, most people finds the day pleasing but for some, it dawns rather too early and hence wished for the night to creep in again.Someone wasn't left out of that, it was no other than Alex, who didn't get enough rest that he would swear even on the dinning table, he ditched his head inside the early breakfast served to him because of drowsiness.That caused another panic in the mansion as the servants close by hurried to wipe off the porridge off his face and check if he was injuried.Their boss had scheduled time for everything, and the noisy alarm does the waking for Alex! He wished he knew where that alarm rang from, he would have disconnected it long ago since his arrival.Why on earth should he wake up by 5am when he went to bed by 1am which of course he wouldn't call that sleeping by that time because he was pondering over the fact if Natalie would report to him or not. So he would say, he slept around 3:30 in the morning.No! he objects to this and needed to see Lucian
Quickly, his legs hurried to the closet where he had speculates Ethan kept money in bulks at a secret locket. He found that secret out when he was exploring this man's room. But something was wrong. The locket had a password which he wasn't familiar because he wasn't the man in person.Withdrawing was going to be a case and so he had to rack his brains for thoughts. His hands spared no effort in trying various passwords but to no avail. In the end, he decided to use his birthday and it worked!It was bewildering that his own birthday matches with this man's password and if he was to calculate, he would be around this man's age in 10years time.He stuffed out all the money his eyes could see, sort for a bag which he could use to hide the money, took some clothes and intended to run out.The mirror which stood by a corner suddenly drew his attention, he dropped the bag to take a look at himself before departing. He suddenly heard a voice echoing these words loud in his ears;"How long w
The uproar at the chvala's company was becoming unbearable, as the protesters outside demand to see the CEO of the company.The man they had waited for arrived at last. Like flash, the press media rushed at him, flooding his face with their cameras. The bouncers who came with him sure knows their job, as they hindered the mobs from coming closer to him.Here he was, moving with a leopard-like gaze and heading for the conference room. All eyes were averted towards his directions and they couldn't help but comment on his appearance.The lush, mother dark hair he groomed so carefully had a rippling quality, a sign of his rude health.The aquiline nose he sported complemented his prominent cheekbones. Handsome in an understated way, his basalt jaw and Spartan shoulders spoke of strength. He possessed a latent, leonine power and always walked with purpose and authority.People had always remarked that his best feature was his entrancing, wayfarer-brown eyes. With eyes as bright and spellbi
Well seems the goddess of distraction just didn't know when to surface as her presence got everyone heated up.She didn't like the unnecessary glare and so Natalie though it wise to come back some other time and give the information she got.Mrs Helen viewed her as someone cheap who might probably be known. Only Evelyn knew her name because this girl had robbed her before for the vital item.Alex had to had to dismiss three people before him just to attend to this Natalie girl which was perplexing. It rose questions if perhaps this girl was his new hit.She didn't want to create a rumor in the hearts of these three and decided to leave but Alex refutes her.Evelyn walked out on them annoyed, couldn't he met with this woman somewhere else? It got her jealous seeing him with another and surprisingly, he was excusing himself from them because of her. As for Mrs Helen, she would have wanted to say her thoughts to him but it could wait, since the woman she sees as a whore before her had ta
It was so bemusing why she was so much it a haste to resume without giving a second thought over who she was going to be working for!"When would it be conducive for you to resume?" he beckoned and she quickly said "Tomorrow!"Alex found it quite early but nevertheless, she was in. However why would a thief who was running away from him suddenly desiring to work with him?For Natalie, this was going as planned, keep the prey closer and then strike in due time. She stood up from where she sat and accorded him respect since he was going to be her boss from now on."I haven't checked your credibility, you need to pass an interview first" he beckoned raising up from his seat with a serious look at her.Natalie frowned silently, anything interviews, she was sure to screw up. Couldn't he just screw that part out?"Ready or not?" he declared picking up the key and intended to venture outside but she obstructed his path and nodded that she was in."Tomorrow, you shall take the interview, you
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
