"I am... Ethan" he responded and placed a bandage on the injuried arm and she squeezed out the magic word "thank you""let's be tame Evelyn, that stuff is with Natalie right?""you don't believe me right? serve yourself!" She snarled placing her palm on his chest to push him away but he held her wrist. That move of his caused her head to lean over his."Don't act rude, just be you, miss Evelyn" he beckoned unhanding her and then packed the kit in order.Evelyn smirked at him as she stood up from where she sat, no making an utterance but just wanted him to go already.Her body shifted to the bed and she covered her face with a blanket just not to meet his gaze.He was making her embarrassed for trying to seduce him, and it didn't work, now he was relenting. If only he could read her eyes or was torturing her feeling on purpose."Thank you for saving me and those officials earlier, do take care" he concluded having speculates that she needed to be alone.He was about to step out when he
The banging on the door made her jolt from the bed. Why wouldn't he just go away?A hiss crept out of her lips and when she rose to answer the door, her toes curled. Quietly, she tiptoed to the door and peeped through its hole.Who she found gave her goosebumps, it wasn't the man who left earlier but a middle age woman."Open up Natalie!" the voice yelled panting heavily as she was tensed up.Her face became sober as she flung the door opened."Give a call when you coming over!" She snapped turning her back against the woman who had jumped inside and slammed the door."Oh my God Natalie, I met Ethan!" she proclaimed catching her breathe."So?"Obviously, why would her reply that? wasn't she frighten that she meant Ethan?"What if he knows about that night?" she panic and Natalie shrugged her shoulders."We should be dead by then" she snapped with no emotions as she still had sleep in her eyes."Let's leave the country Natalie, he's dangerous"This woman slapped her chest to get a hold
"where's the device?" Lucian questioned yanking her hair and she let out a groan while Alex motioned on him to stop. He was against violence on someone especially women.Vera trembled where she stood as she glanced at her younger sister who was in pain. Alex strides closely to Natalie, she was still standing and glaring at him, while her hands struggled from the grip of the men who had held her arms, side by side."Natalie?" he murmured again, staring into her nervous eyes balls but then vera ran and stood in front of him while going on her knees."Please, I will hand it over, just don't hurt her!" she cried and Alex lowered his gaze at the woman who was pleading."No! don't sister!" Natalie warned and Lucian grappled her throat almost choking her from speaking, so as not to intervene.He shuddered at how Lucian held her tightly, wondering if Lucian was going to choke this girl to death. He had to sink his heart inside, if he wants to act like the Ethan everyone regarded him as, espec
The shower head poured out water on him as he rubbed his sweaty hair, while bathing, he recalled what transpired earlier at Natalie's house. A sigh left him haven telling himself the decision he made was the best. He had beckoned on Lucian not to kill anyone since he was in control but how comes he ordered Lucian to kill them?Actually, the truth was that, there were no bullets in the guns those men had, and he just made that statement to frighten the ladies. Only that Natalie of a girl wasn't scared to die.He had to threaten them not to venture into illegal dealings, because it could be dangerous and never to mess with a guy like him. Even though saying that to these ladies who were older made him flinch inside, he had to summon courage to leave a threat behind.Alex wondered if his threat was good enough, because if he were in their shoes, he would definitely think of it as a child's play. He was bothered over the fact; on how he could be dangerous and at the same time calm when re
She saw no reason why he should be shy when she had seen him naked before, he was acting weird her presence as she scoffed and raised her eyes to meet his embarrassed gaze.The though of she being the first to have seen his d**k before him stir up a crazy feeling inside him.His legs got closed as he quickly covered his exposed body with the bathrobe which had been released, and attempted to push her when she suddenly wrapped her legs around his waist, and her hands made way to massage in body. She was fast in what she was doing not giving him a moment to get himself and he was unprepared for that.She leaned her c**t which grind on his covered d**k causing heat to soak him. Those closed legs were forced to open, as his big d**k had stood erect. She chuckled mischievously as she could see he was turn on by just a simple seduction of hers. His hands tried to restrain her for going further but they ended up resting on her thigh, side by side.No!No! this wasn't happening, what was this
Staying back inside got him riled up as he desired to step out. Besides, the scenery he would find outside would keep his mind off what happened few minutes ago.Since he arrived here, he had been indoor except when important crisises turns up. He didn't have to time to check the chest as his mind had been taken off from there.Alex needed to explore this mansion and tonight was the perfect time. He put on a pyjamas, took the phone acclaimed to be his and then the headphone he recently ordered for because that was what could keep him calm somehow when he would be in his adventures.Before, he stepped out, he had to put on a stern look just not to be approached by anyone since he was still unfamiliar with ways of this house. Someone might just popped out like Sophia to lure him again!Well as for the body he possessed, his history was a bad one and Ethan needed to change the clock around. He couldn't have a bad name back in his past life and over here have a bad name too except the fa
"And then what happened" a tiny voice question with probing eyes at the narrator, who was a witness to the drama which had taken place before him."speak up Chris, please, did they chop their toes?"The narrator was the little boy that threw the saucer, grinned at her for being dumb! If their toes were chop off and hands fed to the dogs, would he be here at the garden narrating the tale to her?"He was joking, gosh jasmine, I thought my life would end at age 9" he wailed and she giggled excitedly that the tale ended well.The kids belonged to one of the workers, they have heard about the tyrant leaving around this place, and had maintained their distance, mostly when they heard he hated kids!Chris, the accuser was trying to take that saucer from the dinning table to the kitchen when he mistakenly slip, and it hit their boss.Luck was just for him, as he was spare and as for the punishment, it was a scene that made him laugh over and over again. Everyone was thrilled though when he ma
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 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
