The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Shattering Into Bits
Her breath got stuck in her throat when she saw the man. She stumbled backwards, fear gripping her. “Who the hell are you?” She voiced in a shaky voice. He took off his hoodie, revealing a face she had never seen before. “My boss sent me to you.”She twisted her head around and realized that she was in a lonely street with men that she wasn't out of danger yet.“What? Who's your boss? Why did he send you?” She asked, taking small steps backwards as she slowly began reaching into her purse for a pen knife. His Stoic facial expression was a giveaway to the fact that he was unfazed by whatever she was trying to pull out from her bag. “My boss is a very important man here in Chelmen, he wants you.”Valerie knew that this country was the hub of human trafficking and sex work but she never knew that somebody would approach her like this in face to face , attempting to recruit her. “Tell your boss I'm not interested, I'm married.”He arched an eyebrow and glared at her fingers. “I don't
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Off To See A Friend
Clifford and Therese were having dinner, their plates clinking as they ate. Renée sauntered into the house, catching her mother's attention. “Renée, you’re back already?” Therese asked with furrowed brows while Clifford slowed down his eating.She paused and swept her gears between the two of them. “Uh- yeah.”“Where's you sister?” Her mother followed up. She sucked in a deep breath. “She's going to come back tomorrow, I think.”“You think? Weren't you two supposed to return together?”It was as if she could no longer find her voice. She didn't know what to tell them, or how to even say it. How could she tell her parents that the reason her sister was angry with her was because she had enlisted a machinery to take her out. Then she was acting completely out of impulse and her love for Ethan was blinding her, but she knew better now. “We got into a fight so I left.”“I don't understand, what kind of fight was that? You abandoned your friend's wedding and your younger sister in a fo
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Bad News Got Skyler
It was morning and Skyler cracked her eyes open. Today would be the day that Mr Timothy would announce the test results as she had a feeling that she was going to be a top scorer because of how easy the test was for her. Yesterday she and Raul were arguing all night about who would score the highest. Both of them were practically like nerds anyway so that physics test wasn't hard for them. As she was getting ready she found herself smiling at her reflection in the river, however at the moment was quickly interrupted when Samantha walked past. “Who's got you smiling like that? Do you have a boyfriend now? A guy you like?”She rinsed her foamy mouth with water and then turned to face her roommate. “Is a guy the only reason why I can smile?”Sam scoffed. “For a nerd like you that doesn't do anything else except read, yeah. Unless you're telling me you discovered a new formula,” Sam teased. The rest of the morning unfolded with her usual routine, she got ready for school, grabbed her
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • My Pretty Damsels
“Who the hell are you?” Valerie challenged the stranger that was standing before her. He tried to take a step forward but she moved back, grabbing the nearest solid object she could find behind her which was the remote. “Stay back, close to me and I'll scream,” she said, pointing the remote menacingly at him. His lips parted in a small smile. “What are you going to do to me with the remote, stab me with it?” He asked humorously. Her jaw was still tightened. He sighed, seeing that he wasn't getting to her. He was styled in an expensive black suit and his glossy leather shoes gave away the fact that he was at least an affluent man. “Can I sit?” He gestured towards the chair in her room. “No, I want you to leave. Leave before I scream.”Despite being uninvited, he went ahead to sit down and adjust his trousers. “Relax, you're quite feisty. I mean they told me but seeing it in person is even more alluring,” his voice rasped as he narrowed his eyes on her. She raised an eyebrow, sti
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Gwatana Bay
The atmosphere immediately grew tense and everybody was on their toes. The legion commander was coming to their island. Cyrus took a seat when the world around him began to spin. “That Pesky vanguard, how the hell did he find us?” He complained. Trevor was standing by the corner lost in thought. “There's a traitor,” he mouthed, making Cyrus raise his head. “What do you mean?”“There's no way Ethan vanguard found out about our location and is already on his way here if there was no traitor. Somebody somehow ratted out our location to him and it's Bruno.”“What makes you think it's Bruno, he doesn't know where we are, only the people on this island know that we're on this island.” “Keith never informed us about Ethan making any plans together with the dreadland soldiers to come here. Knowing his family was being held captive, he wouldn't be so stupid as to let them carry out a mission like that without informing us, at least for the safety of his family. But he didn't because his f
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Pregnant!?
Renée’s eyes flashed open, the blurry surrounding slowly sharpening into a vivid image. She was lying on a hospital bed in a pristine white room. She stirred out of sleep and back into consciousness. The dull ache in her head was constant but manageable. Turning her head around to survey the room, she asked. “Where am I?”Therese stopped forward. “You're in the hospital darling, Jason brought you here after you passed out.”“What the hell were you even doing in that hotel?” Clifford asked.“Clifford! Now is not the time, can't you see she's just waking up?” Therese shot back, silencing her husband. She stroked her daughter's hair gently. “Darling, how are you feeling?”Renée shifted on the bed, taking a more upright position. “Just a little weak, nothing much.”The door clicked open and the doctor walked holding some files. Everyone was on their toes as they wanted to hear what the doctor had to say. Another person walked into the room, Jason. He was behind the doctor. “Glad to
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Scholarship Kids
Skyler's ears were still ringing from what she had just heard. “What?” She mouthed in shock. From the distance she could hear Amy's giggling but she paid it little attention. “I'm sorry Mrs Vanguard, are you having hearing problems? I said you're expelled,” Timothy repeated himself.“On whose authority?” Mr Donovan asked.“The school board, you can go confirm for yourself if you're in doubt.” Tears stung her eyes as they began to gather. All her hard work to come here was just thrown in the drain. “Why? What did I do?” Timothy raised his hands as if to signify that he wasn't involved in the decision making. “Don't blame me, blame the school board. They saw your video, the one where you grab the chair and used it to assault a student, that is strictly against school rules and grounds for expulsion so I'm sorry.”“Skyler -” Raul tried to reach out but she grabbed her bags and stomped out of the classroom in a hurry. Donovan narrowed his eyes on Timothy, having a hunch feeling that t
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Surrounded By Rebels
Ethan stood on the boat, placing his cupped hands against his forehead to block the extra light that was hitting his eyes. He looked ahead, he still had quite the distance to cover despite being close. With a frustrated sigh, he tried to start the engines of the speed boat once again, pulling on the rope. This time the engine didn't even sputter or respond, he knew he had to make his way out of this situation by thinking quickly. He rummaged through some things on the floor and that was when he noticed the paddle. Feeling slightly relieved, he grabbed it and dipped it into the water, propelling the boat forward. His muscles twitched as he began to use them to row the ball, the sound of water splattering with each stroke. Slowly he began to get closer to the islands in the distance. By now the dreadland army should have been here already or at least close enough. He kept moving, his determination palpable. Finally the structures on the island became magnified as his boat reached t

• The Legion Family
The laughter of children running around in the backyard hung in the air. Valarie was behind the grill, roasting the chicken. Stacey walked into the yard, holding a toddler in her hands as well as her husband beside them. Immediately the two women saw each other, they started to smile. “Oh my gosh Stacey, I didn’t think you could make it,” Valerie said after pulling away from their hug. “Is this your son?” She nodded in response, “He’s about the same age as Emilio and Emilia. Speaking of which, where are they anyway?” She asked. “Oh just over there,” Valerie replied, pointing in the direction. It had been two years now since she had brought these wonderful fraternal twins to the world, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. She would never have believed life could be so refreshing after all the hardship that she and Ethan had endured in the past. Strong arms wrapped around her waist and lifted her off the ground. “Oh my goodness, Ethan,” she called out playfully. “When w
• Little Bundle Of Joys
Several months laterValerie was standing by the balcony, overlooking the city. The past few months have been nothing but perfect and she couldn’t help but wonder if she was dreaming. Even if she was, she would rather not wake up from it because this was a blissful dream. The sound of footsteps coming from behind her met her ears, she turned around to face Ethan. “I knew I’d find you here,” he said affectionately, wrapping his hands around her waist as he rested his chin against her shoulders.She melted into his frame, a warm smile spreading on her face. “Yes, the view from here is quite lovely.”Ever since Ethan had reclaimed the Vanguard manor, he moved in with Valerie. She loved the change of environment so much. The Sterling manor was sold because after Clifford lost the presidential elections, he was neck deep in debt and had to pay. His sponsors had ruthlessly abandoned him like he was vermin. Leaving him stranded and bankrupt.. Valerie was not even at the slightest intereste
• Congratulations
The wedding bells chimed as Valerie got down from her car, the important people in Armoria were here to witness the union of the legion commander and his wife. Her dress was a body holding white silver tube gown which embodied the contours of her waist. It was embellished with pearls and attached to the bottom were gatherers which she was helped with while moving. People began to turn but her eyes ignored all of them, locking on to Ethan's who was at the end of the road, hands folded in front of him as he was in his charcoal gray suit. By now she was already a few more weeks in, but the baby bump wasn't too visible yet. All heads turned to face her and people began to whisper, she was just one of the most expensive designer brands in the country. Something many brides could only dream of wearing. Her mother Therese, who was also on the verge of shedding tears, walked her down the aisle, handing her over to Ethan. They locked hands, turning to face the priest that would join them
• Nearing The End
The Vanguard's were all gathered around the living room with panic strikes expression on their faces. Martha looked like she had just seen a ghost. Larry descended from the staircase with a stoic expression on his face, briefcase in hand. “Just where do you think you're going?” Desmond's voice boomed.“I'm leaving this place before Ethan comes back here to throw you guys out on the streets and disgrace you in the neighborhood, I don't want to be a part of it.”A gasp escaped from his parents lips. “Larry, how could you say such a thing!” Martha scolded him. “Ethan can't do that! He can't! I've called the lawyers already, everything is under control.” Larry scoffed, shaking his head slowly. “You guys don't realize it, don't you? You stole from him, you took what rightfully belongs to him and his father, this house, this manor, it belonged to my uncle! Not you, nothing you do will change that!” He tightened his grip on the bag and walked away, sparing no second glance. Tears prick
• A Little Secret
At the funeral, Therese was standing in front of Renée’s coffin, trying her heart out when Valerie rolled her wheelchair towards her mother. “Mom,” she called. Therese froze. Could her ears be deceiving her? It couldn't be. She immediately turned around and saw that it was her daughter. “Valerie, you're back,” he replied, joyful tears filling her eyes as she crouched down to hug her daughter. Renée was being buried in the family manor. Guests from all over had begun to arrive and Clifford was too busy trying to network and interact to actually even notice that his second daughter had returned. “I wish she and I hadn't fought. Then she wouldn't have come back to Armoria, none of this would have happened.”Therese grabbed her daughter's face and rubbed it. “Don't say that. It is not your fault, Clifford is the one to blame. He's the one that pushed her into this predicament.”Valerie scoffed. “Why am I not surprised?”“Honey, I think there's something you need to know. Your father a
• The One Allowed To Cheat Death
“My baby, how is my baby?” Valerie asked desperately. “We ran all the scans and your baby miraculously survived. The angle at which you were shot didn't have any contact with your uterus or developing baby whatsoever. And thankfully you were shot from a distance so the bullet didn't do much damage, a little bit of rest and healing and you'll be alright. The only issue is the amount of blood you lost, so will be placing you on some supplements and as well as giving you some dietary suggestions.”Hearing this news from the doctor felt like the light at the end of the tunnel. At least she could finally smile about something. “I just wish Ethan was here and then my family would be complete,” he whispered. Lucy backed away from her. “It's going to be okay.”The lieutenants had no idea that Ethan was still alive, because Natasha hadn't communicated it to them yet. “When can I be discharged and go home?” Valerie asked. “Right now I can see that you're safe for travel so you can go today

“Natasha has made all the necessary arrangements, you can return back to Armoria with ease,” Ethan said, walking towards the door. “What about you?” Darren asked. “I know where Cyrus and his men are, I need to go there and finish them off before they leave Chelmen.”“Wasn't it solo missions like this that even led you to this predicament? Now you have survived, you might not be so lucky next time Ethan.” He paused, placing an arm on Darren's shoulders. “This time, I will be.”Darren watched as Ethan exited the house. He stood by the street at the designated spot and then a black car pulled over and an elderly looking man came out of the car. “You must be Ethan Vanguard,” the man greeted in a thick accent. “Everything you need is in the trunk, and here are the car keys. Please return the car, the last people to use they didn't,” he said, voice dripping with sarcasm. Ethan smirked. “Best believe I will, but it may have some blood stains.” The man's eyes widened upon hearing what E
• More Tears
Skyler jumped out of the car, “hey what are you doing to my mum!” She cried, running towards him. Irene was right behind her while Raul also got down and followed suit. Elizabeth raised her teary eyes to face her daughter who quickly pulled her up from the floor and hugged her. Skyler could see Desmond's driver holding a bag, presumably her mother's bag. Then he stepped out of the gate and then tossed the bag on the floor. This gesture angered Skyler so she lunged forward, managing to give the driver a good slap before Irene held her back.“How dare you bring your filthy selves to our house and try to harass my mother!?”Desmond smirked. “I can see that you haven't changed one bit, you still talk too much. This house belongs to me since your brother is dead now.”His words felt like a physical blow to Skyler. “Don't you dare ever say something like that again, Ethan isn't dead!”“Oh but he is, haven't you seen the news?”Irene walked forward. “Even if Ethan is dead, what makes you
• Ethan Remembers
Valerie was on a stretcher and right beside her was Antonio. They were both bleeding out and were rushed to the emergency unit. Just outside the hospital was Melissa, along with Jax, Kieth and Lucy. After Antoni had been shot, his men surrendered, and the police came and cleared the crime scene, making multiple arrests as well as ransacking Antonio’s mansion, an opportunity the local FBI had been dying to get. The three lieutenants were spared from the arrest because the chief of police, who despite recognising what they did as illegal, was happy that they had helped bust Antonio. Now with the overwhelming amount of evidence they had against him, there was no way he could escape jail time. In the emergency room, the nurses huddled around each of the victims. Antonio's wound was to his upper back but the bullet went through and came out of his chest. While Valerie was in the stomach. “We’re losing him, we’re losing him!” The doctor screamed as the life support machine beeped loudly.
