Chapter 137Irene, Skyler and Samantha were huddled around the phone. It was a short clip of Skyler picking up the chair and hitting Mason with it. Everybody was talking about it, she was being seen as a girl boss. “It must have taken some level of guts for you to be able to grab that chair and break it on Mason's back huh?” Sam asked. “Well, I was just trying to save a friend.”Irene didn't like the fact that a video like that was circling social media. “Hey, why does your friend look all gloomy?” Samantha pressed on. Skyler turned to face Irene then she shrugged, “I don't know.”“I'm not gloomy, I'm worried,” she corrected, her voice sounding irritated. “Imagine what Ethan would-” I really immediately stopped herself as soon as the words flew out, she covered her mouth with her palms. Samantha seemed to pick up on this and looked between the two of them. “So what exactly is going on? I think I'm left in the dark here.”“Nothing, she just made a mistake while she was speaking.” S
Darren was practically praying that they were just walking by, his heart was in his mouth as beads of sweat formed on his forehead. Their footsteps began to fade, Which means that they were probably just passing by. The sudden shrill of Trevor's phone ringing startled the doctor almost half to death. He snatched the phone from Trevor's pocket as quickly as he could and he ended the call. His heart was beating faster with each passing second. Did they hear the noise? Were they coming? His mind was racing with different thoughts. After a couple of seconds, he came to realize that the phone ringing didn't alert them and he heaved a sigh of relief. The anesthesia he gave Trevor would only last for about 45 minutes, he needed to make his move and leave this place now. He twisted the door knob and gently opened the door, peeping first to check if the coast was clear before he fully came out of the room. He trained his gun forward and made his way down the hallway. This being the first
Ethan, Keith and Bruno paced around, their attempts to call Trevor were unsuccessful. “Do you think he knows? Perhaps he found out that Leilani and the children are no longer in the house,” the legion commander suggested. Bruno shook his head. “There's no way they would know, they don't really have so many men in Ivar. Me and the two guys who were killed were all they had here in Ivar. There will be nobody to help them confirm this.”Keith paced around. “Maybe they went on a mission or something or he's just not with his phone, we should try again later.”“No, Trevor is a very intelligent man. If he notices that all of a sudden we're calling constantly, he's going to get suspicious. Let him see the missed call and call back, we just have to be on standby.”They all nodded. The doorbell rang and Ethan slowly inched to the door, he peeped through the window to check who it was and then he opened the door. The man from earlier who had delivered the car, was standing in front of them wi
Skyler grunted in frustration, kicking, punching and slapping the interiors of the elevator. “No! No no no! Not today! Ugh!” She cried in a frustrated tone. She took a peek at her wrist watch, she had about 5 minutes to get to class. “Help! Help! Somebody help!” She screamed from inside but it was as if the elevator was down. Eventually she sat down on the floor and cradled her knees to her chest. It was already bad enough that Mr Timothy had a bad impression of her the first time they met, now this was happening again for the second time. Her phone buzzed with a notification, indicating that someone sent her a text. She picked it up and opened it, realizing that it was Raul. “Mr. Tim just stepped into the class,” the text message read. She started tapping away on her phone screen. “I know, I should have been there already but I am stuck in the elevator in the science building,” she responded. “Oh my gosh, I'm sorry? I'm coming.”Her eyes widened when she saw the message. “No, d
Leilani's panic began to grow. Her heart was beating faster and she placed her arms on her waist, straining her eyes to see if she could catch a glimpse of Keith or anyone that looked like him.She covered her mouth with her palms and then exhaled. What if the worst had happened? Would she just go ahead without him? She couldn't. It's not like she would even know her way around.Her mind was still preoccupied with thoughts when her daughter looked ahead. “Daddy!” She exclaimed and then rushed forward. Leilani tried to reach out and grab her daughter but she wasn't quick enough. She was about to open her mouth and reprimand her daughter for just running off like that when she raised her head and saw him.Relief washed over her as she was to hug him. “What happened? Why did you take so long? I was scared, I thought something had happened to you.”“The taxi that I was in had a flat tire.”He recalled how they were driving when a sudden pop sound resonated in the air. The driver instantl
Trevor cracked his eyes open, he was lying down on a bed in a dimly lit room. His head instantly began to spin as he tried to sit upright, making him lie back down. He pressed his temples with his hands and his face twisted. “Ugh… where am I? What happened?” He said in a dry voice. “The doctor tried to escape.”Remembrance flashed within his mind. “That stupid doctor! I knew he was up to something. We shouldn't have trusted him. Where is he now? Did he escape?”The man standing beside him shook his head slowly. “He tried to steal the speedboat but I shot at it and it exploded. There was no way he would survive that. The whole thing went in flames.”He got up on his feet, trying to fight the effect of gravity. “So where's his body?” “We didn't find a body, he must have burnt to a crisp or something.”Trevor grabbed his collar tightly, pinning him against the wall. “You fools! The speed boat exploded in the water, you couldn't find a body and you think he's dead?”From the entrance,
“Ethan?! Ethan!” She called out, her voice echoed in the empty space, bouncing off the walls. She was standing in what seemed like a hallway, an empty one. She turned her head around, adrenaline rushing through her veins she searched for him. A white fog began to form, covering the ground for as much as you could see. It began to envelope her legs too and soon the whole hallway was bathed in fog, she couldn't see a thing. She turned around, face twisted in confusion. “What? What is this? What's going on?” She said, mostly to herself. When she raised her head, she caught a glimpse of the darkened outline on a man standing in the distance. “Ethan!” She cried and then began running towards him. The clicking of her heels against the floor filled the air as she got closer to him. She leaped forward, expecting to crash into his frame but she simply phased through him and fell to the ground, landing on all fours. A grunt escaped from her lips. She turned back, looking over her shoulder
There was a thud as Bruno slammed the wad of cash against the table top. “I counted everything, it's a complete 4000.”Ethan nodded. “Take the money and help your family, you're free from Cyrus now.”He didn't need to be told twice. As he was about to walk out the door, he paused. “You know you're going on an extremely dangerous mission right? Cyrus is not one to be messed with, especially if you're going to be working directly into his domain.”Ethan smiled lightly, “Oh don't worry about me, worry about him.”With that Bruno was on his way, leaving Ethan in the safe house. He called Natasha. “It's about time, I didn't hear from you in a while and I actually started to think something had happened. Valerie has been calling, she's worried,” Natasha reported to him. He heaved a deep breath. “The next time she calls, tell her that I am okay and I'll soon be home.”“That's what I've been telling her, she wants to hear it from you. I think she wants to speak with you.”“That won't be po
