A few weeks later, The chilling breeze of winter grazed the lands, and several couples were in the company of each other, spending time together. Due to the festive air around, the streets and houses were decorated with beautiful lights. While people were celebrating in their homes, there was chaos in a particular place. In a city far away from Ashton Hills, specifically a luxurious hotel strictly built for important occasions, eight men were seated, angrily staring at each other. Each of the men had a mask on their wrinkled faces, not showing their true intentions. None of them could trust each other, and none of them could believe each other. Anyone could stab the other in the back without alerting the other members. It was a deadly and fierce fight; and only the survivor would win. Each of the men stared at each other, wondering when someone would say something. Tired of the deafening silence, a man adjusted his spectacles and sat comfortably. He picked up a glass of water next
“Lyra, how are you feeling?” Brian asked he massaged her legs, making her cheeks flush red. She raised her head to stare at her husband, “How can I not feel okay, Brian? With the way you've been treating me, any woman is bound to explode from happiness.” she smiled. Brian gazed lovingly at his wife, “You deserve even better, Lyra. You're the mother of my unborn child. I really can't wait to see her.” he chuckled as he pecked her forehead, however, Lyra wasn't quite pleased with Brian's words. “I can't wait to see him too.” she corrected, earning a chuckle from Brian. He pulled her cheeks, “I'm content with any. You might as well give me two of them.” he teased, making her blush harder. The past few weeks of her life had been splendid. A few days after finding out about her pregnancy, Brian had taken her on a vacation. It had always been her dream to travel to Helix city, and Brian was making the dream come true. Lyra enjoyed staring at the city from afar, during the night time, and
“Excuse me?” Brian said calmly, turning to look at the supposed store owner. Many times, he had heard of how celebrities were well respected in the public, this was the first time he was witnessing it. However, even if celebrities were well respected, was it at the expense of another important customer? “Are you asking me to leave the store because of her?” Brian asked, his eyes piercing into the old man's soul. He averted his gaze as he felt some amount of pressure on his chest just by staring at Brian. “Yes, please, leave.” The old man replied, moving backwards as he was slightly afraid of Brian. How could a person's gaze instill so much fear?Brian turned to stare at Samantha and smiled. There was really nothing special about her. Samantha was just pretty with a shitty attitude. The white gown she was putting on clung to her body like a second skin, accentuating her curves and hourglass figure. With Jewelleries adorned on her body, Samantha looked as pretty as a goddess; however
Samantha giggled when she heard Brian's words. Getting Blacklisted? “Haha.” she laughed out loud, putting her hands on her stomach to control it. Even the store owner couldn't control the urge to laugh. Did he just call someone and instructed them to blacklist Samantha. How was that even possible? Brian on the other hand placed his phone back in his pocket and continued checking out somethings to buy. He didn't care about her words. However, Eunice was the only one who knew the implication of Samantha’s actions. In her mind, she counted, 1, 2, 3, 4 and..Samantha's phone suddenly started buzzing, and so was hers. Instead of picking up the call, she placed her phone on airplane mode and carefully watched Samantha's reaction. “People eagerly want me in their movies.” Samantha giggled as she picked up her phone. However, the words she heard made her face turn pale. “What..what do you mean?” she stuttered, holding a pillar for support as her knees suddenly felt weak. She placed her ph
“Brother” Brian muttered below his breath, taken aback by Brandon's words. His voice was something he had never imagined to hear; and his words were even more confusing. Last time he checked, Brandon was in prison, but now he was free? How possible was that? “Just how…” Brian's words were cut off as Brandon suddenly disconnected the call. Brian stared at the phone in his hands, baffled and terrified. The part that amused him the most was the fact that the bastard was in Helix city. A city where he had brought his wife for a vacation. Even if Brandon escaped from prison, why would he come to a place where they were? Brian stared at the food on the table, but he had already lost his appetite. His hunger vanished in less than seconds. A merciless killer, someone who had kidnapped his wife was still lurking around freely in Helix city. Brian's heart raced, his mind in a complete mess. He couldn't wrap his head around the fact that Brandon was now a free person, wondering if he's clea
Brian paced to and fro in his home, urgently waiting for feedback from Albert. He stared at his sleeping wife and sighed. A few years ago, he was a pauper who was constantly mocked and humiliated; however, he had peace and a happy home. Right now, he was being tormented by his enemies everyday, and he was deeply worried for his pregnant wife. Suddenly, his phone started ringing, interrupting his train of thoughts. He picked up his phone and sighed in relief when he saw the caller ID. “Albert.” he said calmly, “What did you find out?” he asked as he sat down beside his wife, staring at her face from time to time. Albert on the other hand was just walking out of the prison. He had tried to get some words out of the young man, but he simply stayed mute.Out of anger, Albert walked out of the prison and decided to call Brian and tell him about what he found out. “Brandon is out and another person is taking his place.” Albert said after a while, taking turns to check if anyone was follo
A few days later, Brian ensured that the security around his new home was tight. He also employed new bodyguards to guide Lyra secretly, just so she wouldn't feel too pressured. After spending weeks in the comfort of his home, Brian finally decided it was time to find a side job in Helix city. Just like Lyra had suggested, he had decided to keep his identity hidden for the main time to avoid being disturbed by reporters. Now, he simply wants to enjoy being a normal person and take his wife on dates. Sitting on the couch in the living room, he checked his wristwatch and sighed inwardly. “Lyra, it's almost 10. Do you want to go late on your first appointment with your doctor?” he yelled, just so she could hear him in the bed room. Hearing her husband's voice, Lyra giggled and rushed downstairs. Compared to how she looked a few months ago, her pregnancy seemed to have changed her alot. Lyra looked more like a woman; and her curves were even more evident. Dressed in a simple white g
Chapter 200While Lyra was still staring at the couple, Brian's eyes flashed coldly when he noticed the figure across the hallway. Even with the face cap and mask, Brian found it easy to recognize the bastard. After all, they've interacted a lot of times. Without wasting any more time, he dragged Lyra out of the hospital without saying anything. “Is anything the matter?” she asked, taking turns to look back as her husband dragged her towards their car. “There's nothing, honey. Let's go home. I'm quite hungry.” Brian forced a smile when in the real sense, his mind was in a turmoil. That figure, he was certainly sure it was Brandon. He wouldn't mistake him for somebody else. To make it worse, the bastard wasn't alone. He was with someone else, someone that looked completely unfamiliar. If Brandon really wanted to kill them, another opportunity had been provided. Brian had just indirectly confirmed that Brandon was indeed in Helix city, carefully watching them; but why? Why wouldn't
