Even though she did not say anything, from the look in her eyes, Rhys could also tell that Elena wanted one of the villas but unlike Jonathan, she did not clamor for it. The auctioneer continued. “But this villas would be gifted to the person in VIP room number one.”

The auctioneer words made many people angry, they didn’t like this sort of behavior as it went against the whole concept of an auction. But no one opened their mouths to voice their opinions and dissatisfaction first. Why? Because they needed to know who the person sitting in room number one was before saying anything. There were quite a lot of experienced people who had seen enough in life to not make a mistake of challenge someone without knowing their true identity.

But one person who didn’t think hard did not place a filter in his mouth and said. “Auctioneer this behavior of yours is inappropriate, are you sure you are not going to give the McAuliffe family some face.” Even if the auction went on, Callan knew that th

    The next day, the lunch date with Nathaniel really started off well but midway, it went south. Elena enjoyed catching up with Nathaniel but soon realized that he had changed a lot, so much that she almost couldn’t recognize him anymore. When he first picked her up and drove her to the restaurant, he was attentive, nice and sweet but midway, he started getting distracted. He would glance at his phone for minutes as if he were expecting some sort of a call or a message. When she would ask him what was the issue and whether there was some place he’d rather be; he would force out a smile at her, trying to reassure her that everything was alright. To Elena, it just didn’t feel right anymore but with a smile on her face, she tried to let it go and bring life to the conversation on the table. He gave half-hearted response whenever she asked him a question, sometimes he gave vague answers which was quite annoying. There were a lot of things going on in Nathan’s mind at that moment, he had p

    At that moment, she began to wish that it was Rhys that was sitting before her, sure, he had never taken her on a date and mostly tested her as a friend when they were together. She wondered how Rhys was like if he truly loved her. Elena was lost in her thought and didn’t hear most of the words that Nathaniel was saying. “I hope you can forgive me for today, Elena. Some of my work related stuffs were nearly stolen moments ago and I got worried about it.”Elena snapped out of her thoughts at the right time to hear the last statement he was making. She tried not to cringe at the mention of her name coming from his mouth, yesterday it was alright but at that moment it was off. “It’s fine.” “Are you sure? I can understand if you want to leave, we can catch up some other time.”Hell noElena was already tired of hearing him speak, she heard her notification sound and casually glanced at her phone. Her calm expression suddenly switched to shock before distress. She dialed a number and rai

    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

    The helplessness was suffocating, crushing her beneath its weight. Nikolai gloated, his eyes gleaming with triumph. “You see, I’ve always wanted to gain control of the Fernandez family. And now, with you in my grasp, I can finally do it.”Christopher stepped forward, his eyes cold and calculating. “Yes, Lydia, you’re a valuable pawn in our game. And soon, you’ll be nothing more than a memory.”Lydia’s eyes widened in shock as she realized that Christopher was a traitor, a betrayer of the worst kind. The revelation was like a punch to the gut, leaving her breathless and reeling. “You’re a monster,” she spat, her voice muffled by the gag.Christopher just laughed, his eyes glinting with amusement. “Oh, Lydia, you have no idea what I’m capable of. I’ve been playing a long game, and you’re just a small part of it.”Nikolai chuckled, his eyes gleaming with approval. “Yes, Christopher has been very helpful in our plans. He’s been instrumental in capturing Rhys as a child, and also in poison

    The room seemed to darken, as if the shadows themselves were closing in around them, suffocating them with an unseen force. The air was thick with anticipation, heavy with the weight of unspoken words. “When did this happen?” Jonathan asked, his voice firm, but laced with a hint of desperation.Rhys’ eyes narrowed, his mind racing with possibilities. He could feel the tension building, like a storm about to break. “What’s going on?” Rhys mouthed to Jonathan, his voice barely audible over the pounding of his own heart.Jonathan held up a hand, signaling Rhys to wait, his eyes fixed on some unseen point, as if trying to will the answer into existence. The silence was oppressive, a physical force that pressed down upon them, making it hard to breathe. Rhys felt like he was drowning in a sea of uncertainty.“I’ll mobilize my men, Uncle. We’ll find them,” Jonathan said, his voice reassuring, but laced with a hint of doubt.Rhys’ eyes widened, his heart racing with fear. He knew that someth

    Rhys’ eyes widened in surprise, and he leaned forward, eager to hear more. “What? That’s not possible. I’m the rightful heir.”“I know,” Jonathan said, nodding. “But Harrison seemed convinced that Atlas was the better choice. And Christopher, your uncle, has been backing him up.”Rhys’ face darkened with anger, and he clenched his fists. “I’ll deal with them,” he growled.Jonathan placed a hand on Rhys’ shoulder. “I know you will, Rhys. But you need to be careful. They’re not going to give up easily.”Rhys nodded, his expression serious. “I know. But I’m not going to let them get away with this. I’m going to fight for what’s rightfully mine.”Jonathan smiled, feeling a sense of pride and admiration for his friend. “I know you will, Rhys. And I’ll be right there beside you.”As they sat there, Jonathan couldn’t help but think about how much Rhys had been through. He had lost his family, his home, and his identity. But he was still standing, still fighting. “Rhys, I’m sorry,” Jonathan s

    Rhys chuckled and shook his head. “I’m not a ghost, Jonathan. I’m alive.”But Jonathan refused to believe it. He took a step back, his eyes fixed on Rhys as if he was seeing a specter. “No, no, no,” Jonathan muttered to himself. “This can’t be real. You’re dead. I saw your dead body. Who the hell is trying to mess with me.” Jonathan hurriedly took out a gun from his jacket and pointed it at Rhys. “Who the fuck are you and why do you look like him?” His voice was cold and unfeeling Rhys stood up and took a step forward, his hands outstretched. “Jonathan, listen to me. I’m alive. I know it’s hard to believe, but I’m here. I’m flesh and blood.”Jonathan’s eyes welled up with tears as he looked at Rhys. He wanted to believe him, but his mind was struggling to accept the truth.Rhys took another step forward, his voice gentle and reassuring. “Jonathan, I know this is a lot to take in. But I’m here. I’m alive. And I’m not going anywhere.”A vast array of emotions swirled within Jonathan a

    Rhys and Zephyr drifted off to sleep on the boat, the gentle rocking motion and the sound of the waves lulling them into a deep slumber. But as they slept, a warm light enveloped them, and they vanished from the ship. Rhys opened his eyes to find himself in a strange room. He was lying on a comfortable couch, and Zephyr was still asleep beside him. But as he looked around, he realized that they were no longer on the boat. They were in a study room, filled with books and strange artifacts.Rhys sat up, his mind racing with confusion. Where were they? How did they get there? He looked around the room, trying to find some answers. But there was no one there apart from him and Zephyr.“Rio, what’s going on?” Rhys asked, his voice shaking slightly.“I’m the one who teleported you here,” Rio replied, his voice calm and reassuring. “You’re safe, Rhys. You’re in a safe place.”Rhys’ eyes widened in shock. “But how did we get here? And where is here?”“You needed to get back to your family,” R

    Zephyr’s face lit up with joy, her eyes shining like stars. “Thank you, Rhys! I won’t let you down, I promise!”Rhys smiled, feeling a sense of trepidation mixed with excitement. What had he just gotten himself into? Only time would tell. As they prepared to leave the island, Rhys couldn’t help but wonder what lay ahead. He pushed the thoughts aside, focusing on the task at hand.Rhys asked Rio, his mind still connected to his friend’s. “How are we going to leave the island?” he asked, his thoughts transmitted directly to Rio.“Break the barrier,” Rio replied, his voice clear and confident in Rhys’ mind. “It’s the only way off the island.”Rhys looked around, trying to locate the barrier. He saw a shimmering wall of light a few meters away, pulsing with a gentle blue energy. The barrier seemed to hum with power, its surface rippling like water.“That’s it?” Rhys asked, his doubts creeping in. “It looks so fragile.”“It’s not as easy as it looks,” Rio warned. “The barrier is powerful,

    As they meditated, Zephyr could feel her connection to the island beginning to weaken since the disappearance of the Starheart. She knew that she would have to find a way leave soon, to return to the human world and create an identity for herself. But for now, she was content to sit beside Rhys, to focus on her own energy, and to help him heal. Zephyr’s thoughts turned to her own journey, to the island that she had been on for as long as she could remember. She really could not fault her parents for abandoning her but she really wished that they had found a better place for her. As she meditated, Zephyr could feel her energy growing stronger, more vibrant. She knew that she would be able to leave the island soon, to return to a new world. Zephyr’s eyes opened, and she looked at Rhys. He was still meditating, his eyes closed, his face peaceful. She smiled, feeling a sense of connection to him, of friendship even though throughout the time that they spent together, he was unconscious.

    Rhys had his mind set on breaking the barrier and leaving the island behind. He thought of his family , how worried they were after the had found out about his disappearance. He lets out a huge sigh and rubbed his forehead. “How long was I unconscious?” He inquired from Zephyr “A year and two days.” Zephyr sat down next to him as she responded.What? The response came as a shock to him, he found it hard to believe that he had been unconscious and away from his family for more than a year. This fueled his resolve to break the barrier and return home. Zephyr’s voice broke the silence, her words soft and gentle. “Don’t worry, human. I’ll help you. We’ll figure out a way to break the barrier together.”Rhys’ gaze snapped back to Zephyr, his eyes searching hers. He saw a determination there, a sense of purpose that mirrored his own. “Thank you,” Rhys said softly, his voice barely above a whisper.Zephyr smiled, her eyes crinkling at the corners. “We’ll do it, Rhys. I promise.”“Rhys.”“Wh
