"When I'm done with you. You would wish you were never born!" A tough looking man growled at Cory, who was sitting in the backseat of the car. The car was driving at full speed. There were two other henchmen who were seated next to Cory. Cory was in between them. At the backseat of the car. The henchman who had just spoken was the one driving. "How dare you have the guts to do that!!! How dare you even think of it!!!" The driver got even more infuriated. "I should beat the living out of you." The henchman on Cory's left raised a fist. "Break his face." The other henchman who was on the rich urged. As the henchman brought his hand down towards the face of Cory, the driver suddenly pushed hard on the break, making the tyres screech.Everyone at the backseat was shoved to the front, The two henchmen hit their heads hard against the backs of the front seat, but Cory was fine. Cory should have hit his head too, but something unusual happened, and he somehow evaded the bump."Ouch! T
Following the fatal fate of the former driver of Anna, a new man had been assigned to drive her. She was not alone in the backseat of the car. Next to her was Cory. Cory couldn't have said no to her after she gave him such a face. He didn't want to look or sound mean. While the car rode through the road, Cory was looking in the other direction. Although he could not see anything through the window since the car was tinted, yet he pretended like he was. He could feel the heat from Anna's eyes heating up the side of his face. She was constantly looking at him. Anna wanted to start a conversation, but she was a little bit reluctant. There were a couple of things she could talk about following everything that had happened, but she didn't want to offend Cory. She was indebted to him for saving her life. "Where are you headed?" Anna finally found something. Cory slowly turned to look at her. "Oh, right. I'm headed to Shelton University." Cory replied. He was about to look away from
Cory was speechless when Anna did this. He understood that he had been kind to her and had saved her life, but what was this about? Although he respects her father and would never want to have any problem with the Great Theo, yet he wouldn't allow someone to take advantage of him. Looking at her face, he saw her looking very cute, her eyes were like puppy's eyes. That was the same face she had made when she had asked to drive him to school. There was something very tempting about that face of hers that he couldn't ignore. Realising that it was no use trying to get her off himself, he looked back at Sheiley and Harry. Harry looked quite shocked when he saw this beautiful and overly gorgeous lady. Although Sheiley was pretty and was an embodiment of beauty, her charm was nothing compared to Anna's. Comparing Sheiley to Anna was just like comparing the wings of a hen to that of a bald eagle. Miles apart. Harry was swept off his feet by the beauty that was standing in front of him.
It was quite obvious what Anna was trying to do. She was trying to stake a claim. The claim was that she wanted to prove openly that Cory was her boyfriend."Anna!" Cory could not take it anymore. He has been quiet all along because he understood what she was trying to do, but now he was clueless. He wouldn't let her drag him into something that he might regret later. "Come with me." He held her by the wrist and led her away from Sheiley and Harry. "What's all this about?" He asked, finally letting go of her. They were about a couple of distance away from the couple."I don't know what this feeling is, Cory." Anna answered, staring him in the eyes. "But I put my trust in you. I believe that you have the potential to become a great person if you allow yourself to break out of the barrier of the mind." Anna said. Cory didn't know what to say to this. He had asked her an entirely different question, and she was saying something else. "Okay. Thank you." Cory nodded firmly, not will
Harry felt glued to the spot. It was as though he was a rock. He couldn't move. He was frozen. The call he had just received was a detrimental one. A call that could change everything for the worst. He immediately tried to call his father back, but the call did not go through. His father had just called him to warn him to escape. The only reasonable explanation that his father gave to him was just about six words. "Lord Theo will not spare us." The words were still fresh in his mind. His heart started to drum emphatically. It would seem as though his heart would pop out, tearing out of the chest. He knew who Lord Theo was. Lord Theo was like a nightmare to any businessman in the country. No one dared to cross his path. So, just what had his father done to provoke Lord Theo? Is there any running away from Lord Theo? Even if you hide in the deepest of the earth, the ruthless underground Mafia Lord will dig you out without breaking a sweat. Sweat pooled at every corner of Harry's
To Cory, it seemed as though the more moments he spent with Anna, the more she tried to confuse him. For a split second, he could have thought she was trying to pull a prank on him, but looking at how serious and intentional her facial expression was, he realised that she meant every word she had just said. "Although you were able to detect the poison, how can we guarantee that I will be really safe henceforth?" Anna asked. "What do you mean?" Cory was trying not to miss the point that she was trying to stress. "My father owns so many thugs. In short, he owns a myriad of them. Yet the multitude of thugs he has couldn't protect me from the poison. Even I didn't know how I could have been poisoned, let alone the thugs." She went silent for quite a while. "You are the only one who found out about it. If I have you around me all the time, then I won't have to worry about my safety. Because..." She lowered her voice as she walked closer to him. She didn't want her driver to hear what
The lanky man who was now standing in front of Cory was quite terrifying. He was about ten feet tall. Cory had never seen anyone so tall. He couldn't have imagined that there was anyone who was so tall. While his mind processed this, he couldn't help but burst out into another form of confusion. How did this man find himself in his bathroom?When did the man enter into the building, let alone coming all the way to the bathroom. Did the shower attract the man?"Son." The man called at Cory. His call kicked Cory out of the wandering thoughts. This time, when he gazed closely, he realized that there was a hue of brilliance that encircled the strange man. The man was dressed like emperors from the classic Chinese kingdoms. His face shone almost like the sun. Everything about the man screamed extraordinary. "I've finally found a channel with which to contact you." The man continued saying. Cory's mind quickly processed what the man had just said. The man had just called him 'son' If
Cory rose to his feet. At this moment, he felt really refreshed and light. Although when he had seen the trance, his heart was engulfed heavily by sadness, but it felt like something took all the gloom away. It was as though a light had shone out of nowhere on his whole existence. There was a hint of pain that lingered in his heart, but because the sadness had vanished, he couldn't hold on to it. The disappearance of his father must have taken all his sadness away. He walked out of the bathroom and got dressed up. His stomach was beginning to make some funny noise. He hadn't had anything to eat since the day broke. It was such a long day for him. He knew that he would have to take time for himself and have a recount of everything that had happened to him since the beginning of today. He settled in one of the couches and shut his eyes for a while. He took in as much deep breaths as possible in order to clear his head. Whatever he was about to do right now would impact his decision
