Renee’s eyes were swollen with tears and she was sprawled out on the floor looking downcast. Her mascara was smeared and she looked up at her husband. With clenched teeth, she said. “I hate you Jason Vanguard, I hate you!”He didn't react, he didn't even twist his face, he only swallowed and acknowledged her anger. “I'm sorry that I didn't tell you, but I knew you wouldn't agree to it.”Finally she found the strength to pick herself up from the floor and she was now standing eye to eye with him. “Oh and you think I agree now? For as long as we will be together, I will never treat you like you're my husband.” She turned around to walk away but he grabbed her elbow, pulling her backwards. “Renée, this isn't about us, it's about the baby you're carrying, he deserves a stable home.”“Screw you and the baby!” She yelled, stomping away angrily. When she burst out of the building of the registry, the first thing she saw outside was her father and Desmond vanguard locked in a handshake. Bes
Jax and Lucy were still hovering over the area, they had been scanning for hours but there was no sight of Ethan nor Cyrus and Trevor. “Search team, don't stop until you find the commander!” He barked. Jax was obviously stressed and the irritated expression on his face was a giveaway to that fact. The jet had been running for longer than it was supposed to and now he had to land back on the ship. Soaring over the seas, he swept his gaze on the clear blue waters one last time in hopes that he would see anything, no matter how minute that would give away the fact that Ethan was still there. A sigh escaped his lips as he steered the jet in the opposite direction and Lucy followed suit. They both began flying back towards the main ship. He landed first and then he parked before Lucy landed shortly after. He was in the process of taking off his gear when Lucy approached him. “Don't beat yourself up over it, you did your best.” Her voice was soft and soothing, it was quite clear that
It was another Monday morning which meant that they were having physics class today, first period . Skyler and Raul walked side by side, approaching the lecture hall. For months they were actually extra early so they did not need to rush and they could take their time to get there. Behind them the sound of approaching footsteps met their ears, it was Amy and her posse. Skyler rolled her eyes, knowing that having them within proximity spelt nothing but trouble. They were just rich spoilt brats who believe that everything should go their way. “So, are you still finally official? Are you a couple?” Amy asked, trying her best to hold back a laugh. Sophia and Claire in the background were giggling. “Ignore them,” Raul whispered to Skyler but she couldn't care less. She wasn't afraid of these girls, not when her brother was the legion commander. “What's it to you? Do you like him? Maybe it's because you've been begging for his attention and he has given you none. That's why you're so
Valerie was turning left and right on her bed, beads of sweat trickling down her face. Her clothes were soaked with sweat and even the spot which was lying down on the bed was moist. Her chest kept rising and falling at an irregular pace until she finally shot up, gasping for her breath. She struggled with the handcuffs, hoping they would give in but as usual they didn't. Her wrists were already sore and red with bruises from her struggle. She placed her palm on her chest, trying to steady her breathing. The bad dream she just had was still replaying in her head. The feeling of apprehension washed over her, somewhere in the back of her mind she kept thinking that something terribly bad was about to happen or had already happened. “Ethan…” she whispered under her breath, staring into space. By now the effects of hunger had begun to manifest and she felt weak and light headed. She exhaled, fatigue getting the better of her. Her throat had already been sore from all the screaming an
Kayla continued relentlessly giving him CPR until his body finally jerked. Water jetted out of his nostrils and mouth and his eyes shot open. His eyes fluttered for a little while, trying to adjust to the environment before he finally sat upright. His head was still banging and he would still feel pain all over his body. He swept his gaze around the three people hovering around him. “Where am I?” Those were the first words to come out of his mouth. “Joanna village, it's a seaside village,” Kayla explained, relieved that he was still alive. “Thank God my father found you one time, 1 minute later and you might have not made it.”His mind was still juggling with confusion. “What?... What are you talking about?” He got on his feet despite their efforts to keep him on the bench. “What am I doing here? How did I get here?” He questioned. Marcus shared a look with his daughter and wife. “I don't know, I found you washed up by the shoreline, unconscious.”Ethan frowned as a splitting hea
Blaring sirens were all over the place and the ambulance was parked just by the bridge. A small crowd had formed around the place where the accident took place. Below the bridge by the river banks, divers were going in to find any survivors. 4 divers jumped off the boats, swimming to the bottom of the river in search of any signs of Jason or Renée.One of them held out a torch, swimming through the water. It was evening so seeing was much harder, but they didn't have the luxury of time. The sooner they found them, the better. They continued to swim, covering different parts of the river as they moved. Finally one of their flashlights bounced against a metallic object, causing it to shimmer in the water. As the diver continued to rotate the torch around the object, she quickly realized that it was a car. She swam straight towards the car and some of the other divers saw her making her way towards the car and followed suit. The two bodies were still inside the car, Jason's and Renèe
Timothy was still staring at the script in his hands in disbelief. How could she score 99% on his test? Even he himself wouldn’t score that high on the test without the marking scheme by his side. He adjusted his necktie and stared at Skyler. “What happened Mr. Timothy? Cat bit your tongue?” She questioned, a hint of sarcasm in her tone. A scowl began to form on his face and even Amy, who was already standing, wasn’t too pleased with the outcome so she folded her arms against her chest. “With his fingers he began to trace the test script, hoping to find some sort of error. “Mr. Timothy, if you're trying to check whether or not I made a mistake, don't waste your time because I’m confident in my answer.”He clenched his jaw, “You cheated!” he yelled, startling her. “Yes, I remember, you along with that young man, you two sat together. And the girl with the glasses wasn\t too far off.” He tried to accuse them because he couldn’t comprehend how they would score so highly when his own s
Everyone was still in shock, their hearts in their mouths as they watched Ethan punch the man. Even Ethan himself was shocked by his actions. He glared at his slightly reddened knuckles. He had no memory of who he was, but all he knew was that he was overwhelmed by the urge to protect them. The other two men approached him, one of them landing a punch on his face which sent him crashing against the wall. His reflexes were a little rusty since he didn’t quite remember that he was a commander with top notch combat skills. “Watch out!” Kayla screamed at the top of her lungs when she saw one of the men pick up a chair and tried to attack him with it. He dodged and the chair crashed against the wooden wall, causing bits of it to chip off. He leaned and ran into the man, his shoulders ramming the man's torso. Within a flash, the man was on the floor as Ethan took him down. The other one tried to intercede but before he could get close enough, Ethan had kicked him in the shin and then jum
