The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Valerie's Situation Worsens
Valerie was terrified when she saw the look in his eyes. She crawled backwards, tears filling her eyes. “What did you Just say?” He asked through gritted teeth. She looked up, “I - I'm pregnant,” she stuttered. “How?! When?” He was too stunned to speak. With newfound courage she got on her feet. “You kidnapped me from my fiancé! I was already pregnant for him, that's how!” He lunged forward, hands wrapping around her neck tightly. “How long have you known this?” Short gasps escaped her throat as she struggled to breathe despite the constriction. “I knew while I was attending my friend's wedding,” she lied, trying to save Melissa. She knew that if she told him that it was Melissa that helped her get a pregnancy test kit, the poor woman would land in a lot of trouble. Antonio shoved her aside, making her topple and land smack on her thighs. He paced around, unsure of what to do or say. “You- ugh!” He let out in frustration, tossing his belt aside. Even as bad as he was, he knew t
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Seen A Ghost
Ethan moved closer to the voice, he finally saw Valerie. He was stunned by how beautiful she looked. Some memories of the time they spent together came rushing.“Valerie my love,” he mouthed in his semi conscious state. While Dr. Michaela smiled, happy that the first session of the therapy was yielding results, Kayla who was standing behind her stepped back, her eyes watering. Jealousy gripped her when she heard him utter those words because she couldn't deny the attraction she was feeling for him even though they'd just know each other for a few days. Eventually the hypnotic wore out and then he cracked his eyes open. The doctor wore a wide grin and she gave him a soft applause. “Usually many patients don't get any memories back in their first session, some don't even get any back till they are in the fourth or fifth session. You showed quite great progress, and I'm sure you're on the way to speedy recovery,” Michaela said. He rubbed his head and got up. After she gave them some
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Just A Friend
Skyler was seated on her bed with a downcast expression sprawled across her face. Samantha was by the corner ironing her shirt when she paused, looking over her shoulders at her roommate. She had to return to school in the evening yesterday because she had classes today and Elizabeth did not want her to miss the class.“What's got you feeling depressed like that?” She asked. “Oh, is it boy issues?”She raised her head, about to say something to counter what Samantha had just said, but in actuality, it was technically boy issues. Skylar's silence reinforced Samantha's proposition. “Omg,” she let out, setting the pressing iron aside. “It is boy issues!” She exclaimed. “It's not exactly boy issues like that, he's just my friend and-” “Wait wait wait - are we talking about Raul? Because he's the only guy I see you hang out with constantly.”She nodded reluctantly, “Yes, it's him. He found out something I've been hiding from him and he's angry with me, he's not replying to any of my te
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • No Scratches Please
“And you're sure this will work?” Jax asked as he pushed his luggage cart through the airport. Earlier on, Natasha had arranged them with fake documents that he could use to travel straight to Chelmen. “Yes because we're not here as dreadland soldiers, we're just here as ordinary people. This was how Ethan and I were able to rescue my wife and kids.”Lucy smirked. “She was the one, the one you saved during the raid right?” She stated. Keith’s lips tightened. “Yes, she was.”“I'm happy for you,” she responded, the cool sea breeze crashing against their faces while they walked out of the bustling airport. Jax took off his glasses and scanned the cityscape before him, “so this is the vacation island everyone keeps talking about,” he said.Keith urged him to put back his glasses on for disguise purposes. A black car pulled up in front of them and a middle aged man walked out. “Natasha called and she said you people need a car, return it tomorrow by 6:00 no scratches please.” He had a
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Thorn In Flesh
Ethan was staring directly at Cyrus, even though he couldn't remember who this man was, the feeling of rage and anger that overwhelmed him was enough for him to know that Cyrus was his enemy. “What do you want from me?” He asked through gritted teeth. Kayla, who was still struggling with the goon rough handling her, spoke. “Where are my parents?!” She cried. With a hand motion, Trevor walked away to an inner room, returning shortly after with some extra hinge man and Kayla's parents who were already tied up and gagged. “Mum! Dad!” She screamed, attempting to rush forward to hug them but she was blocked. “You will reunite with your parents in due time.” Both she and her parents had started crying already. “Trevor, tie him up, make sure he doesn't escape,” Cyrus instructed. They began to shove Ethan forward .“I'm so sorry Ethan, I had to save my family,” Kayla whispered under her voice as they bound him with ropes. Ethan didn't really put up much of a struggle, however he asked
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Antonio's Guns
The car was parked outside of Antonio's main property. Keith spied on the house with his binoculars, this had to be where Valerie was being kept. A man as influential as he was could easily bend the government of a small country like Chelmen to do his bidding. This was one of the reasons why he resided here. “What are we waiting for? Let's bust in and rescue her,” Jax proposed. “We can't just waltz in there, we need a plan, we don't even know how many men are there-”“About 30,” Keith said, interjecting her sentence. “Huh?” “There are about thirty henchmen in there, most are armed. I counted them,” he clarified, putting down the binoculars. Jax shifted on his seat to face them. “So what we're going to do is, one of us has to create a distraction outside, something that will make them mobilize and try to come out, and then the remaining two attack by surprise and we break in to find Valerie and get her out of there.”Lucy was barely paying attention as the two men conversed, inst

The news had broken out by now that the legion commander was dead. The video of him getting shot as well as the video of the warehouse exploding was all over the internet and everybody was saying that Ethan Vanguard was dead.It was practically on every news channel and media outlet. This spelt bad news for Armorial, if a rebel soldier group could kill the legion commander, were they even safe?Everyone began to have their own opinions on the matter. Clifford turned off his TV and got on his feet. “Why am I just surrounded with bad luck? He was supposed to marry Valerie, how am I going to run my campaign if the legion commander who was supposed to back me and be my son-in-law is dead!” He complained. His secretary watched him with a dumbfounded look on her face, by now she had realized that she was working for a complete narcissist, however she was only just realizing how bad it was. Today was his manifesto and he needed to appear in the public. He took a glance at his watch and th
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • The Car Parked Outside
Skylar was shocked to the bone, her stomach twisted into a tight knot, legs growing weak. Just as she was about to take a step back and run away, Raul raised his head, pushing Claire off him. “Skyler!” he called out, shoving Claire aside. But Skyler didn't want to hear it, she wasn't interested in whatever explanation he had to offer.She spun around on her heels, tear filling her eyes as she dashed away from the library. He followed after her while Claire , who was still standing in the background, smirked. Earlier on she had cornered him, forcing him into an uncomfortable situation. She was trying to get her revenge on Skyler for having Amy being arrested and charged to court. Initially, her plan was to cause a scene and hurt Skyler, but when she arrived at the library and saw Raul by the corner, she had a change of plans. She knew that It was only a matter of time before Skyler would come here to read with him, so she waited until she had seen Skyler before getting up and moving

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

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

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

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

“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

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.
