But deep down, a darker thought was brewing. A thought that told him that if Elena wouldn’t come to him willingly, then maybe he would just have to take her. The thought sent a shiver down his spine, but he couldn’t shake it off.He continued to pace, his mind spinning with ideas and fantasies, both good and bad. But one thing was for sure, he was not going to give up on Elena. He would do whatever it took to make her his.Nathan entered his car and drove off to a restaurant parking lot, his mind still racing with thoughts of Elena. He had been so sure that with time she would come around, that she would see how much he cared for her. But now, he was starting to realize that he had been wrong.As he got out of his car, he noticed a man walking towards him. It was the same man who was watching Elena. He was tall and imposing, with a menacing look in his eye. “Nathan,” the man said, his voice low and threatening. “We need to talk.”Nathan felt a surge of fear, but he tried to stand his
Rhys sauntered into the dilapidated store, his eyes scanning the dusty shelves and faded signs. The bell above the door jingled as he entered, but the sound was muted, as if the very atmosphere in the store was oppressive. He made his way to the back, his footsteps echoing off the walls. The air was thick with the scent of decay and neglect.As he reached the rear of the store, Rhys pushed aside a tattered curtain, revealing a small, hidden elevator. The doors were old and rusted, but they slid open with a soft hiss as he approached. He stepped inside, his smirk growing wider as the doors closed behind him.The elevator lurched to life, descending into the darkness beneath the store. Rhys’s eyes gleamed with anticipation, his fingers drumming a random beat on the wall. The air in the elevator was stale and musty, but he didn’t seem to notice.The elevator doors slid open, revealing a room that was the antithesis of the store above. The walls were lined with sleek, silver panels, and t
Rhys walked into the warehouse covered in blood, his eyes fixed on Dr. Mikhail, who was still bound to the chair. The scientist was initially excited at his appearance but his eyes narrowed as Rhys approached, a mixture of confusion and anger in his gaze. “What did you do?” He asked carefully.“I got rid of some pest, per your instructions.” Rhys responded nonchalantly.“You did what?!” Dr. Mikhail thundered. He had asked Rhys to get in touch with some of his partners so that the warehouse would be raided and he would be set free but Rhys had done otherwise.“Well, well, well,” Rhys said, his voice low and menacing. “Looks like the tables have turned, don’t they, Doctor?”Dr. Mikhail snarled, struggling against his restraints. “You are crazy, Rhys. My men will find you, and they’ll make you pay.”Rhys chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. “Your men? Ha! They’re all dead, Doctor. I took care of them myself.”Dr. Mikhail’s eyes widened in shock, his face pale. “No…that’s impossibl
Jonathan stopped the recorder, his eyes cold and detached. “Yes,” he said. “I think that’s enough.”Rhys turned to Dr. Mikhail, his eyes glinting with amusement. “Well, Doctor,” he said. “It’s been…enlightening to say the least but now, it’s finally time to say goodbye.”Dr. Mikhail’s eyes filled with tears, his body shaking with sobs as he struggled to get out of the restraint. “Please,” he begged. “Please, don’t kill me.” His appearance at that moment was a stark difference to how he was when he thought he had Rhys under his control.Rhys smiled, his eyes glinting with glee and excitement. “Oh, but I must,” he said. “You see, Doctor, you’re a very dangerous man. And dangerous men must be eliminated.”With a sudden movement, Rhys reached out and snapped Dr. Mikhail’s neck. The scientist’s body slumped forward, his eyes frozen in a permanent stare. Rhys turned to Jonathan, who was a bit surprised at his friend’s indifference. “Well, that’s that,” he said. “I think it’s time we left
“Let’s do it,” one of them said, his voice cold and deadly. “Let’s find out if our traitor is among us.” The others nodded, their faces grim. They knew that this was going to be a dangerous and difficult task, but they were willing to do whatever it took to protect their organization and their people. They would find the attacker, no matter what it took.“We also need to call the boss,” one of them said, his voice low and urgent. “We need to let him know what’s happening.”There was hesitation on the faces of some of them, they could already picture how enrage their boss would be. “But, we are going to be punished instead.x One of them chipped in. He did not want to be on the other end of their boss wrath.“But if we don’t inform him now, we would face greater punishment for trying to conceal the attack.” “You are correct.”“That’s right.”The others nodded in agreement, their faces set in determined expressions. They knew that their boss was the only one who could help them in this
The boss smiled, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction. That would take care of anyone who got in his way. Now, all he had to do was find out who had attacked one of his base and make them pay.He sat back down in his chair, his eyes fixed on the phone. He would get to the bottom of this, no matter what it took. As he waited for his men to arrive, he couldn’t help but think about the attack on his base. Who could have done such a thing? And why?He had no answers, but he was determined to find out. He would leave no stone unturned, no lead unexplored. He would find out who had attacked his base, and he would make them pay. Dearly.The phone on his desk rang, and he picked it up, his voice cold and deadly. “Yes?” He looked at the bodies laying in the room with indifference.“Sir, we’ve found something,” one of his men said, his voice hesitant. “It’s a lead on the attack.”The boss’s eyes narrowed. “What is it?”The man hesitated, his voice barely audible. “It’s a…a trace of a signal, sir
He could manipulate him, use him to get to Elena. The man began to laugh, a cold, mirthless sound. He believed that he was going to win, that he was going to get what he wanted. He turned and walked paced around the room, leaving the bodies behind. He had no use for them now, no use for anything except Elena.The city outside was about to become a battleground, a playground for his twisted desires. And Elena was the prize he sought, the ultimate trophy in his game of death. He walked through the streets, his eyes fixed on the horizon, his mind racing with thoughts of Elena. He could feel his obsession growing, could feel it consuming him whole.The sound of the police siren snapped him back to reality and the man’s eyes narrowed as he gazed out the window, his mind racing with a mix of anger and fear. He had been so careful, so meticulous in his planning, but somehow, the police had still managed to track him down.He could see them now, their cars and uniforms a stark reminder of th
He knew his mother was right, but he just didn’t know how to change. He was a man of habit, a man of routine. But for Elena sake and in order not to cause her to feel embarrassed in the eyes of the public, he was willing to try.Rhys entered his room, exhausted from his mission. He locked the door behind him and walked over to the mirror. He took a deep breath, and as he exhaled, Rhys found himself in his inter-dimensional space. He looked around, taking in the familiar sights and sounds of the space. And then, he saw Rio.Rio was no longer the childlike spirit Rhys had grown accustomed to. Instead, he was now a teenager, with a mischievous grin and sparkling eyes.“Rhys! You are finally here, it’s so great to see you!” Rio exclaimed, bouncing up and down like a rubber ball. “I’ve missed you so much! You’ve been gone for ages!” Rhys was so occupied that he never had time to enter the space or train his inner Essence.Rhys couldn’t help but laugh at Rio’s antics. “Rio, you’re…different
