*** *** Zara groans into her pillow, an involuntary wince escaping her lips as pain shot through her stomach.The ray of sunlight that escaped the windows disturbed her sleep, she sat up groggily, rubbing her eyes with the back of her palm.Feeling much better and looking past the ache banging in her head, she took a look at her surroundings, panic overwhelming her quickly. She is in her room but something is amiss. Last she remembered, she had passed out at the bar good miles away from her apartment and yet somehow, she wound up in her apartment with no idea on how she got here.She stood up gingerly, afraid there might be a stranger in her house and her best option was to not let who ever they are to know that she is awake.She wobbled on her feet and heads to the bathroom first to get a pepper spray just on case.A scream escapes her lips and she quickly clamped her hand over her mouth to muffle it, eyes wide with fear as she stared at her bathroom mirror.The words were dripping
*** *** ***Zara walked fast, throwing furtive glances over her shoulder every now and then.She opted for walking because she feels whoever had access to her house can also have access to her car and she doesn't want anyone tracking her movement.And being paranoid, she doesn't trust any taxi driver, what if everything is a set up. She walked down the vaguely familiar road, heading to warehouse she knows like the back of her hand.Although from the last time, the place now laid in ruins but she knew one of them would be around."Miss Zara." The lout closest to her smiles cheekily, welcoming her, "We didn't expect to see you so soon.""I need y'all help." She said, going down to business."Sure, what's that?""Remember the man I asked for to be abducted last time?""Yes, what about him?""I need you to abduct him again.""I'm afraid that won't be possible." The smile was wiped off his face quickly."Why is that?? He is threatening me! I just need to ask him a few questions.""If you
*** *** ***"Thomas?" Yumi walked into their living room, where the doctor she just hired for Jonas' sat, arranging his tools into a briefcase, "How is he doing? Any changes? Is he going to get better?"Thomas sighed and looked up at the worried face of Yumi, he wondered if she didn't hear anything about him and how his license was revoked and he is on probation for the next two years, after which, he'll be tried again. If she knew all that, he's sure she wouldn't ask him to be their doctor but considering the circumstances of how they met, he's not surprised.He and Yumi had met in a local bar down town, and they both had a lot in common, or well maybe just one thing. They had both been wronged by someone. "Thomas?" Yumi called again.He blinked back to reality, "Yes, yes.... He is recovering quite fast and should be awake soon enough."Yumi nods, sighing in relief. "What happened to him?""He was attacked.""Hmmm.... And did you catch the person that did this to him?""No." Yumi
*** *** ~ Futuere unanimous club ~"I guess we all know why we are gathered here?" Mr Bruce announces, addressing the members."For my incoming ritual rites?" Ethan asks."Sure that will come in later... Right now, we have more pressing matters, I hope you understand." "Sure." Ethan nods with a smile."Great then! For some of us that don't know." Mr Bruce continued, "We are here to discuss about dismissing Mr Morbian from the Club, he is the person that started all these mess in the first place by asking to kill Asher Fotin.""Well, isn't that what the group is created for initially? To help us in time of crisis.""Yes, but it got worsened, how of our secrets were exposed because of your carelessness, first you were stupid enough to have a bug on your phone then a war with the Nolvani?""I was threatened by them, didn't you see what they printed out? And what they have been doing?""It's seems like you are the one with a problem here, not them.""So?" "So, stop being an ar$e" Mr Br
*** *** **"Who are you?" He rasped out, his voice thick with curiosity.Yumi gasps out in surprise."Re... Really?""Am I supposed to know you?" Jonas glares at her, "Are you one of those pitiful women obsessed with me?""What, no! Of course not!" Yumi replies quickly, "Do you really not know me?"Jonas glares at her and returns his gaze to the ceiling, "you talk too much woman.""Definitely didn't lose your touch of craziness." Yumi muttered under her breath."I'm sorry what?""No nothing..."He gave her one of his stares."I was just saying it's so nice to have you back.""What happened to me and who are you?""You were in a fight at a bar and someone hit your head with a bottle.""And the person? Did I give them a wound they'll never forget at least?"Really?? Is that what he really cared about now?; Yumi wondered."Um... I don't know, I only met you in a pool of your own blood.""Why didn't you take me to hospital?""We were there a few days before I brought you home.""Any reaso
*** *** Mr Morbian walks into Alex's hospital ward, proudly, about to boast of his works to him. "What are you doing here?" He asks Devin, surprised to see him, "I thought I told you to leave.""I can't just go!" Devin muttered, "Alex is my boss, we've been together for a long while. I can't just disappear on him.""When you are one of the few that landed him in this situation?""It wasn't on purpose!! I shouldn't have given in to your threats.""You think Alex will forgive and accept you back just like that?""I....""Save it Devin, if you know what is good for you, just go and never come back.""You have to wake him up.""Are you ordering me on what to do with my son?""He has the right to live, you can't just take that away from him.""He's my son." Mr Morbian spat, "I gave him life and I can take it whenever I want.""Mr Morbian.... If you don't wake him up, I'll have no choice but surrender myself to the police.""Whoooo..." Mr Morbian grinned, "I'm having goosebumps, very scar
*** *** Grandma Joan entered her study room, ushering Alina inside."How are you feeling?""Um... I'm good?" Alina replied, walking gingerly behind her grandmother.The last time she had met her, they fought so she wondered what the impromptu meeting is all about."Take a seat." Grandma Joan told her.She sat opposite her Grandma, staring at her questioningly.Grandma Joan cleared and throat and regards Alina."I know you must be wondering why I called you.""Yes, did I do something wrong?" Alina asks."No... I want to talk about Javier's body and the CEO of Nolvani. I'll go with the CEO of Nolvani first."Alina nods, urging to continue."It's no surprise that we want you engaged to the CEO of Nolvani.""Yeah..... It's pretty obvious.""And since you decided to choose your husband over a reputable human like that. What if we make you his mistress? How's that?"Alina wore a frown instantly, "His what??!""His mistress. That will help the family in so many ways.""I don't care about th
*** ***"Hayley!" Clyde exclaims, jumping from his sit eagerly, "Am I forgiven now?""Yeah maybe in your dreams.""Hayleyy....""I came to pack my things, I'm going back to my hometown.""You know it is really dangerous for you.""Dangerous, you say? Just like how I have been with you this last few months.""Hayley, I'm really sorry. I don't know what I can do to make you know how sorry I am.""You know need to do anything. You only proved how dangerous you can be!!""For the sake of our daughter, please, let's talk this through.""Not interested Clyde. You should resume whoring about because I am not coming back to you." Hayley snaps, fighting back her tears. She finally trusted him, heck she was crazily in love with him and he chose to destroy it!?"If I can turn back the hands of time,, I would and do things a lot more differently. Please you are not safe. Fine you can choose not to talk to me or pretend I don't exist but please don't leave, not when it's dangerous outside.,"Hayle
