Right on the bedside table was her phone, Elena grabbed it but as she turned it on, she was greeted with the fact that she had twenty missed calls; all from a restricted number that kept having a chance to contact her despite the number of times she changed her number. Elena stared at the missed call messages, worried it was related to the person that tried to abduct her the previous night. It was the why that bothered her. At that precise moment when she was brooding about the decision to make, her phone rang, displaying the restricted call in the caller ID. Elena was livid about the invasion of her personal space. She contemplated on whether or not to answer it but she changed her mind in the end. She tossed the phone to the side. Elena refused to answer the call, she refused to give him the satisfaction of answering the call. She wanted to act as if the call and the significance hadn’t even registered on her mind.In the end, she made a loud exasperated sound and turned off her p
Upon getting to his office, Rhys was shocked to see his mother waiting for him, she had a worried expression on her face. As soon as he stepped in, she walked towards him and hugged him. “Mum are you okay?” He could tell that something was bothering her.Lydia nodded as she forced out a smile to reassure her son. “I’m glad you are here.”“So what’s brings you here mother and by the way, Elena is at home.”Her eyes twinkled at the mention of her future daughter in law that she has taken a liking to. “Did she come to visit me? I should have waited much longer to speak to her.” When Elena and Rhys had breakfast, the rest of the family had already left the house so no one knew of her arrival the night before. “It is alright, you have lots of chances to meet with her.”“I have something important to tell you.” Her cheerful tone suddenly took a turn, an ominous silence spread across the room.“What is that, mother?” Rhys made his way to the chair mainly reserved for him as he looked forwa
Her breath was coming in hard pants as she took the final lap of her run with her dog, Bianca had run more aggressive, a better means to stay fit and a natural way to relieve the pressure that was gripping her. She followed this routine since she started college, along with the luxury of living alone with her dog, there was no roommate to compromise with or work around even if she would have gladly gone for the former. She could hang out with her only friend in the bookstore. Bianca thought of how she had lost her phone and the only means to contact her friend. She knew her identity. Elena Topaz. She came off as a sweet woman, one with an important identity and Bianca expected her to be proud and arrogant but that wasn’t the case. Elena had been very kind to her, helping her out of difficult situations. The difficult situation was related to her boyfriend, it was because of him that she had to run for her life. She had to keep running for a very long time but he always succeeded in
“When are you bring him here?” At the moment, Christopher was having a video meeting with Doctor Mikhail and discussing a negotiation with him. “It won’t be easy to get too close to him, he is always guarded by his bodyguards.” Christopher insisted, he had to keep a cordial smile on his face as he spoke to the doctor to avoid offending him“I gave you a lot of benefit, you should do this one thing for me in return. Think about the future. You should be willing to make sacrifices for science.”Christopher recalled Doctor Mikhail new experiment and how it had changed his test subject who died soon after. Before leaving, he promised to bring a suitable candidate to the doctor to be used as a test subject. It was evident that the doctor didn’t forget the promise, and thus he always reached out to Christopher to remind him and threaten him at the same time.“I understand, you should give me some more time.” He tried to convince the doctor as he had done many times in the past few days but
Rhys’s world went dark, his consciousness slipping away very fast and no matter how he tried to remain awake, the drug coursing in his blood forced him to the deepest part of his mind. All efforts was futile. He couldn’t move, couldn’t speak, couldn’t even open his eyes. He was trapped in a prison of his own body, unable to escape the horrors that awaited him.But he wasn’t bothered, he realized that his consciousness could still enter the inter-dimensional space and from there he could get a means to free himself but still, he waited; waited to see why he was taken and the people involved. So he spent more time with Rio who helped him while he went through life threatening methods to gain more strength After days passed, Rhys’s mind slowly returned to his body. He was met with a blur of faces, voices, and equipment beeping around him. He tried to speak, but his voice was barely a whisper. His body felt heavy, weighed down by an invisible force.The next thing Rhys noticed was the p
Rhys followed the advice given by Rio and tried to fortify his heart; it was like placing a mental shield around his heart area and mind so that nothing could penetrate it. He had to ensure that his barrier was strong. As the experiments continued, Rhys became aware of strange sensations in his body. His body was being altered, modified, and enhanced. He felt his muscles growing, his senses heightening, and his mind expanding. It was as if he was being rebuilt from the inside outBut with each new development came fresh agony. Rhys’s body was pushed to its limits, forced to endure procedures that left him gasping for air. He felt like a puppet on strings, controlled by the whims of his torturers.Despite the pain, Rhys’s mind remained lucid, trapped in a never-ending cycle of anger and frustration. He knew he was being experimented on, but he didn’t know why or who the mastermind was. The faces around him blurred together, their voices a constant hum of cruelty.As the days turned int
“Hello brother,” There was a fake smile on Christopher’s face and standing behind him was his son Atlas, who had a strange expression but he quickly masked it with a smile.“Uncle.” Atlas bowed lightly towards Alessandro as they approached him. The third floor is where the study rooms are located so it was not rare to see the father and son on that floor. Alessandro nodded to their greetings and was about to leave when Christopher called out to him. “Brother, I have a few things to discuss with you. That’s if you don’t mind.”“Okay then,” Alessandro shrugged, he also wanted to probe his brother a little, to find out whether he was aware of Rhys disappearance.“Uncle I’ll wait here for you.” Johnathan shared a glance with Alessandro before heading to the waiting room on that floor. It was finished like the rest of the waiting rooms but this one had a bar area.Christopher glanced at his son, gave him a warning stare, then followed Alessandro. He had to walk behind him, which made him
“Do you think he might be telling the truth?” Elena and Jonathan were at a coffee shop. They were sitting a corner in order not to draw attention to themselves.“I doubt that. I had him followed yesterday, he didn’t go anywhere or meet with anyone suspicious.” Jonathan carefully explained to her.“Which makes him more suspicious? Why don’t you uses your means to get the answer out of him?” Jonathan shook his head with a smile on his face. “Unless he truly has a hand in it, there is no way I can lay hands on him again. He is still a Fernandez after all.”“So what do we do?”“We just wait, according to the guards, Rhys personally dismissed them which means he had a plan or had to achieve something but he rather not inform us. He would be fine. You don’t have to be worried.” Jonathan reassured her before standing up to leave. “I would keep you updated on any new information I get, you have to go home and get some sleep. You really look like you could use one.”Elena forced out a smile
