Immediately after he read the message, Dennis quickly called Apiu. As soon as the call entered, Apiu picked it up "Are they safe?", Dennis asked impatiently"Yes, they are. Meet us at the cabin" Apiu respondedDennis sighed gladly, glanced at his wristwatch, and said "I'll be there within the hour" then ended the callDennis walked onto the street and hailed a taxi. He was sure that with ties to Jon's case, the cops would also be looking for him. Till this whole was sorted out, he had to keep a low-profileThe taxi halted in front of him, and after he entered, he gave the man the location of a private home just miles away from the cabinAfter driving for some minutes, he finally arrived at the building, and upon handing the driver the fare, Dennis turned and searched around, making sure no one was following or watching him Upon confirming that it was safe, he called Apiu again and then headed toward the cabinApiu felt a sudden chill surging in his heart when he saw Dennis. From the
The moment Akio uttered those words, Dennis stood still for a moment, bit his lips, and then smiled weakly He had foreseen his death in his heart when he realized there was an imbalance in his Chi levels. He now understood why most gurus did not attempt to reach the yin-yang ChiAt a moment like this, it was only a matter of time. No one or anything could save him, and a part of him knew that"How did this happen, Dennis?" Elder Akio's voice echoed again in his earsDennis did not answer. Instead, he remained standing for some moments, using Diune to listen to the familiar heartbeats hiding and eavesdropping from behind the door, and a weak smile curled from the corners of his lip"Dennis! How did this happen?!" Apiu shouted angrily Dennis broke out of his trance and heaved a deep sigh, staring at Apiu who looked back at him for an explanation, "I can't recall," he said vaguely Apiu raised his hand and smacked his forehead in frustration"What do you mean you can't recall?" He sne
Kuza got up and paced frantically and as Dennis tried to stand up, he staggered on his feet and collapsed on the ground.At this point, the negative imbalance was eating at the core of his chiSeeing his drop to the floor, Kuza hurried towards him and supported him towards the bench. Before coming here, Dennis had drafted a sentimental apology speech, but at this moment, it was a lot harder to say anything.Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Akio from the corner of her eyes and hurriedly approached him"Tell me there's a way to undo this" she spoke frantically Elder Akio remained quiet for some time, caressing his soft white beard, and then said, "There might be a way to, but...","But what?" Kuza interjected impatiently"I can't do it. It'll require someone with a very powerful Gift, someone like you", Akio replied"Me?" Kuza asked in shock. She had barely learned the basic techniques of Chi manipulation, how then was she expected to heal someone with a level 10 Chi energy?Her face
"If you have no objections, just sign here", Dennis' mother-in-law said mockingly, sliding the divorce papers on the table before him.He frowned, tired of the grusome torture he called marriage, but still, he loved his wife dearly,"What are you asking me to sign, mother-in-law?" He asked; Margaret snapped, "Have I not warned you never to call me your mother-in-law again?!" She yelled and landed a slap on Dennis' face,"Now you will sign these divorce papers and free my daughter from being with a weak, pathetic loser like you, or else, your life will be more pathetic than it already is", Margaret mocked and warned him sternly, Margaret Luther was a woman who prided herself in wealth and status, and her daughter being married to a low life like Dennis was greatly unsettling."I'm glad my daughter is finally done with you" she mocked.Dennis felt disappointed. He believed he had found his soulmate when he met Sasha, and was ready to settle, so they got married. Their marriage was see
Dennis sneered. He was tired of talking with Sasha. It was apparent she was done with him, but he didn't mind, it didn't bother him anymore.He might have loved her once, but those feelings were no longer there. He reached and grabbed the divorce papers, sliding it towards himself and picked up the pen on the table and signed it.As Margaret watched Dennis finally sign the papers, she felt elated. Finally her plans were in motion, and she would never have to entertain such a loser as her son-in-law again. Her daughter could go ahead and marry someone of her class and bring honor to their family.However, Sasha had a different expression; she had loved Dennis for a long time and felt uncomfortable, bothered by the fact that she was letting go of someone who held a meaningful and deep part in her life.She stopped by the door and turned, facing Dennis, and her eyes revealed a sadness within it, but she took a long-suffering sigh, comforting herself that they were not in the same world
As the man entered the room, standing across Dennis, he frowned at the sight of his brother-in-law, Jack LutherOf all his relations, Dennis despised Jack the most. He wasn't just a bully; he physically abused him too.Despite always asking his sister for money, especially after quitting his job at the auto shop when she became a CEO,He once stole about five thousand dollars from his sister Sasha to pay a gambling debt. When Sasha found out she was missing her money, she told her family, and Jack immediately accused Dennis of stealing the money. Jack stood across the room staring furiously at Dennis, and then his eyes averted to Yura at the corner of the room. When he saw her, he whistled and cat called "Damn sugar! Can I get your number, baby?" he said, slowly approaching Yura. She slowly backed away, moving closer to Dennis; she was fully aware of her beauty, with black graceful hair adorning her shoulders, decorating the grey blouse she wore, pale clear skin, brown eyes and lo
Dennis walked out of the house, throwing his blazer over his shoulder, and Yura followed immediately behind him.When they got outside, Dennis looked around and did not see the vehicle Yura arrived in. Confused, he turned to her"How did you get here?" He asked, and Yura raised her right hand and pressed the car's remote key and it beeped, unlocking it. Dennis turned his gaze towards the direction of the luxurious Mercedes Maybach. It had been long since he had the convenience of sitting in a private car, let alone a luxurious one. He couldn't help but smile as he walked towards it.Meanwhile, Margaret was in the living room watching television when Jack walked in. She had sent him to get back the house contract and then heard his footsteps, shifted her gaze at him and immediately screamed"Jack! Who did this to you?!", "What happened?!" She shouted, rushing towards him and gently leading him to the couch, looking at his wounds. Jack winced in pain and let a few seconds pass, almost
Dennis nodded in response to Yura."Where are you, Dennis?" Sasha asked, overhearing Yura's voice."That is not your business anymore, Sasha. We're divorced now, remember?" Dennis retorted"Now, excuse me. I do not have the time to rehash meaningless conversations with you" he added.Sasha sneered; at this point, she felt convinced that her brother was right. Dennis was dating this new girl, whoever she was, she thought. Especially after hearing her voice over the phone. "They're probably heading out on a date somewhere," she thought inwardly and wondered how long this had been going on, how long her ex-husband had been cheating on her.She was conflicted with these questions that she couldn't conceal her jealousy anymore and, without thinking, blurted out"Is this what you've been busy doing, Dennis?" she asked abruptly"What, Sasha?" Dennis replied impatiently"Have you been so self-centred that you completely ignored all my goodwill and chose to betray me by dating someone else wh
