Her emotions were all over the place, her heart was beating faster than normal. Elena had to place a hand over her chest, took deep breaths as she tried to relax. When could still recall the strange look in Nathan’s eyes, it was like the one a predator gave it’s prey. It was scary.The hair on the back of her neck stood at that moment he glared at her, her sixth senses warned her of impending danger and as soon as Johnathan’s call came in, she took advantage of it and used it as an opening to get away. The sound of her phone ringing snapped Elena back to reality, the phone was right besides her but she was still scared to take it, worried that it might be him.Her stalker.Elena was well aware that she had a stalker. He would call her and not say a word, only the sound of him breathing in the background would be audible. The sound of the phone ringing once again reminded Elena of where she was. Her driver glanced at the rearview mirror before asking with concern laced in his voice. “
The clock ticked slowly, its hands was inching towards noon, a man suddenly walked out of his bedroom, he called out a name angrily but there was only silence. He called multiple names but there was no response. Then he got angry and began to yell.Then, a figure dressed in black with a cap which blocked his face from view appeared before him, The man couldn’t see the intruder’s face, but he saw that the intruder was carrying a gun. His mind raced, thoughts tumbling over each other. He tried to speak, but the words wouldn’t come. The figure was standing in front of him, the barrel of the gun aimed towards his heart.Fear was rising in his chest and the man could feel his body tensing and his muscles stiffening. At that moment he knew that there was no way he could avoid death so his only choice was just to face it bravely. He closed his eyes, waiting for the inevitable, he heard the unmistakable sound of a gun cocking. Suddenly, a blinding pain shot through his chest. He felt his li
In a completely different location, a man in a white coat was staring at a test tube in the middle of the room but this time, he wasn’t alone. There were two other people with him and if Rhys had been present at the scene, he would have been able to recognize one of them as his uncle. “So Doctor Mikhail, what are we looking at here?” The other main present aside from the doctor and Christopher was clad in a suit and held a suitcase close to his body. Even though they were just three present in the room, he still looked around warily, prepared to bolt if necessary.“We are looking at evolution of science sir, one that is going to change our world for good. A breakthrough in human evolution.” There were dark circles under Doctor Mikhail’s eyes and it was certain that he had not slept for days but irrespective of that, he still looked energetic.“What are you talking about Mikhail, I haven’t got much time and I have a plane to catch in an hour.” “I have been working on a new drug,
Upon stepping out of the well concealed building, Christopher could not describe what he had seen. Even though the second test subject had not lasted for more than an hour, the experiment was still successful and it had broadened his mind, opening his eyes to various possibilities. He touched his Jack a few times, smiled as he felt the small bottles hidden within it. With a high price, he had purchased a few of the serums that can immediately kill a human and he had the perfect set of people to test it on. Upon arriving at the Fernandez mansion, he found his son Atlas, standing outside the mansion. He was scolding one of the bodyguards with him but the other party simply looked away, ignoring him.“What is this meaning of this attitude? Is this the way you treated a direct member of the family?” Christopher didn’t care to know what had transpired, all he was concerned about was his son Atlas.“How can you scold me without knowing what happened?” The bodyguard did not stay silent and
Christopher looked at his son in disbelief as he inquired once again. “What is happening?” This was the first time the intruder alarm was going off on him. But why? Last time he checked, he was still a member of the Fernandez family, why then would he be treated like an intruder in his own home.“That was also what happened to me earlier, I asked that dumb guard to find out the reason for the sudden glitch but he said I should deal with it all on my own.” Atlas eyes narrowed as he tried to come up with various reasons for the alert.‘Could it be that my activities have been discovered?’ Christopher asked himself inwardly, he looked around but did not see any changes in the guards stance, they just pretended as if the father and son pair were inexistent. Christopher quickly shook his head at the thought of that. He tried once again but neither his fingerprint nor iris were recognized by the security sensor.“What happened today? Did you do anything to offend your grandfather?” His gaze
It wasn’t easy to tell whether it was because his uncle begged him or it was of his own choice, Rhys simply let go of Atlas, allowing him to fall on the ground like a pack of card. “You!” Christopher hissed and pointed at Rhys as he saw his son gasping out loud for breath.“Yes uncle,” Rhys turned towards his uncle and said with a voice that was so sweet that it caused goosebumps to appear all over Christopher’s body. The smile on Rhys face chilled him to the bones. “You asked me to let him go and that’s what I did.” “Why do you have to attack your cousin that way? You both are like brothers.” He instantly changed his words in order not to infuriate Rhys any further. Seeing as his son was still within Rhys reach, there was no doubt that he might simply attack Atlas again if he was offended.“What are you trying to say uncle? He is my cousin but it wouldn’t warrant him being rude to me before my subordinates. I am the heir of the family, he should know his place.” Rhys started to w
Dinner in the Fernandez mansion was very cold, the pressure in the air was so thick, like it couldn’t be cut through by a knife. Jonathan was present was so nervous, he found it hard to breath. The patriarch, Harrison had a gloomy expression on his face, Rhys parents were calm while Christopher and Atlas felt as if they were sitting on tether hooks. The only indifferent person, who was unfazed by everything happening was Rhys. While he was eating, he held a phone on one hand, scrolling through it, oblivious to the pleading looks that Jonathan threw in his direction. Jonathan began to regret why he had chosen to show up in the house.The dinner on the table was quickly cleared but no one left. “Father-“ After a long time passed with no one saying anything, Christopher started but he was soon interrupted.“Be quiet!” Harrison hollered angrily. “Atlas!” Atlas jumped to his feet immediately, looking downwards, scared to look at the patriarch on the face. “Yes grandfather- No Patriarch.”
Over the next few days, everything was peaceful, Rhys was more focused in taking complete control of the conglomerate, he had more things to learn. Most of the time, he had to work into the night, attend business events and show his face to the public. At that moment, he was standing in a dark corner with a glass of champagne, all alone, while representatives from different companies and business organizations were socializing, trying to get allies and business partners.The reason why he doesn’t have a lot of people surrounding him, trying to build connection was because, they were completely unaware that he was present. He had showed up with his father but instead, it was his father who had crowds around him. The sight simply amused him. He knew how much his father was going to nag once they returned home but he would rather Alessandro be in the Frontline to entertain this representatives and it be him.“I’m guessing you don’t enjoy this sort of event too.” He sharply turned around
