The Midnight Heir HEARTBEAT
The elevator doors opened on the final floor and Tessa stepped out, practicing what she was going to say to Anthony when she sees him.She hadn't actually forgotten to drop her half of the access card when she and her siblings were moving out but she had purposely taken it with her.She even made sure to move out when Anthony wasn't around so that he couldn't ask her for it.She did that so that she would have an excuse to come back and see him since they might not see each other that often because of how far from here her new place is.To go from seeing someone you're interested in every day to only hearing from them via phone call was a quick change she didn't like. Even though they didn't stay together for long, not even a week, Anthony still left an impression.Why wouldn't she when he protected her from multiple armed men, gave her a place to stay, paid off her debt, put the people who were after her in jail, and helped save and reunite her with her younger siblings?Anthony had
The Midnight Heir EYES
"Fuck!" Tessa exclaimed then turned to the door in a rush."I should go get Cain, he would know what to do," she said then started to drop Anthony's body on the floor so she could rush out.However, she thought that if she leaves Anthony now then would they be able to revive him by the time she and Cain come back?She has no idea when his heart stopped so it could have been a second before she checked or an hour but one thing she knew is that if she leaves now then there was definitely no hope of his heart beating again.Tessa's heart was racing but there was only one option she saw right now. She had to do it herself.Tessa went down on her knees beside Anthony and started giving him CPR."Come in Silver, wake up. Do it for me and if not me then do it for Annabelle. You can't just die like this, you don't deserve it" she said while doing the CPR and counting in her mind.After a whole minute of CPR and Anthony's heart still wasn't beating, she got frustrated and so she started poundi
The Midnight Heir GETTING HELP
Tessa whose curiosity got the better of her leaned closer to Anthony’s face, regardless of her better judgment because she wanted to confirm if what she saw was real.“Open your eyes Silver, I want to check something,” she said.“What do you mean my eyes are glowing? Is that what you want to confirm?” Anthony asked as he slowly opened his eyes to look at her.Once she saw what she was looking for, Tessa grimaced and was speechless for some seconds.“Tell me, are they glowing or not?” He asked her.Tessa smacked her tongue confusedly then said “Umm, they are not. I guess I was wrong, maybe?”The room was dark so if they were glowing it would be obvious but there was nothing.It left Tessa even more confused because she had no idea what was going on or why she would imagine Anthony’s eyes glowing. It made no sense.“The intensity of the lights from the bulbs before they exploded must have temporarily damaged your pupils. Why didn’t you close your eyes when it was happening?” Anthony ask
The Midnight Heir DRIVEN TO ANGER 2
Parked along the road of Vintgate District, just in front of the restaurant and bar Anthony took Tessa’s siblings to which was also Vinny’s favorite place to hang out with his gang, was a taxi.The taxi driver was on a call and from the face he was making, he wasn’t in a good mood.“How many times am I going to tell you that I’m still looking for money for the bill? Stop hassling me!” The taxi driver yelled into the phone.[“Oh really? Then why can’t I hear the sound of the road if you’re working that hard?!”] the person on the other side yelled back.“What do you mean the sound of the road?!” [“The sound of the road, stupid! The sound of other cars driving by. You’re not driving are you?!”]“Of course, I’m not driving! How would I be answering your call if I was driving? You just want to yell at me and take out your frustrations don’t you cause this isn’t a reason to be angry!”[“Oh really? That’s why I divorced you in the first place. Our daughter is in the hospital and instead of
The Midnight Heir DEMON
The taxi driver drove Anthony to the alley of a deserted street where he parked, turned off the engine, and faced Anthony at the back."We're here son in law. Before I forget, in case you want to try something stupid and call someone for help, you should already know by now that I'm not going to let that happen" The driver said then reached for Anthony's pockets.He dabbed all of Anthony's pants pockets until he felt Anthony's phone and grinned wickedly."Let's just get rid of this before it causes problems," the driver said then pulled out the phone."Don't touch that—" Anthony said tiredly as he grabbed the driver's wrist and was struggling with him. Unfortunately, his strength right now isn't what it used to be."Gimme that!" The driver said furiously then forced his hand from Anthony's grip.The driver assessed the phone and what condition it was in and then he said "Nice looking phone. No use destroying it when I can sell it for some cash"The driver stuffed the phone into his po
The Midnight Heir INCREASED STRENGTH
The wind blew through the alley and every hair on Anthony's body stood. He had a chilling sensation all over his body as he felt the breeze run through every single strand of hair on the exposed parts of his body.It was a very strange sensation he was feeling. His entire skin felt sensitive to any stimuli."What was that—" Anthony asked himself then looked down at his hands and paused then said, "What is this?"His eyes widened in shock at what he was seeing.He swayed his hands around while flailing his fingers and he could see the air around his hands being moved by the motions he was making."What am I seeing? Why am I— What is this? This looks… bizarre" Anthony mumbled in disbelief.Just then, he heard one of the guy's teeth clanking rapidly which pulled his attention toward him.This particular guy was the closest to any of the cars and when Anthony looked at him, he could see the heat radiating from the engine in a reddish color.Anthony stopped looking at any of the guys and f
The Midnight Heir ON THE OFFENSIVE
"Hey Vinny, what's this rumor I'm hearing that has to do with The Overseer? What do you think it could be all about?" One of Vinny's gang members asked as they were walking and smoking on the road."What makes you think I would have any ideas? Knowing anything the Overseer does is way above my pay grade" Vinny answered.The gang member who asked the question smacked his tongue in disappointment and then mumbled "You don't ever know anything important that's going on in the Mob. So much for a leader"All the other members of the gang gasped as they hurriedly looked at this member."What?" The members asked before looking at an angry Vinny and realizing he had said what he just did out and Vinny had heard him being disrespectful."Oh shit!" The member covered his mouth and Vinny started walking up to him "Vinny, you know I didn't mean what I just said right? It was a slip of the tongue—""No, repeat what you just said to my face. Don't be a wuss about it and say it with your chest" Vinn
The Midnight Heir HEARING RANGE
Pulling Frank through the broken car window delivered many cuts on his body, especially his face and arms. Anthony also sustained a few cuts too but at the moment he couldn't feel any pain.Once he threw him, Frank didn't just hit the ground but he bounced and rolled a couple of times before skidding and stopping after hitting the pile of unconscious bodies which were his friends.Anthony raised his hands to his face and looked at them with amazement."It wasn't my intention to throw him that hard but look how far he went. This strength reminds me of Satyre's but not completely. With this power I could maybe surpass her" he said then grinned as he was filled up with adrenaline.Only a couple of hours ago and he was depressed about not having enough strength to protect those he cared about which was mainly Annabelle and now he has this much power coursing through his veins.The only question is, where did it come from, and why he of all people? Anthony was too enthralled in what was go
