“What was that?” One of the customers in the mall gasped in shock as they stared at the direction the noise had come from.

Vera's brow knitted slightly and she subconsciously held Evan’s arm and gazed ahead. Evan of course noticed this and stared at her before he gazed ahead again.

“Should we leave and return another time?” Evan calmly asked and Vera shook her head profusely.

“No, we can't! I already made a promise to Ezra that we will shop throughout the day with you,” She answered.

“Is that what she wants?” He frowned and her eyes widened slightly.

She went silent for a while and after much thinking_ she slowly let go of Evan's arm and glanced at Ezra.

“Is that what you want? It's fine, though. We can come here another day,” She calmly said to Ezra who was a little lost by now.

“Ah…” Ezra smiled, then shook her head. “In any choice you make… It's fine by me. I'll only stay back and make sure I don't get in the way,”

“Come on! Don't say that!” Vera exclaimed and rushed towards her.

    “You can't be serious, right?” Vera asked stunned by his behavior.The smile on Evan's face completely disappeared and he shot her a look. “Goodness,” She rolled her eyes at him and walked back to the chair.She grumbled but still picked up her spoon and continued eating.Ezra smiled on seeing how they interacted and the image Evan has always displayed in front of her since she woke up completely shattered.‘ I thought he was a cold man… but it looks like I've been wrong all along,’ She thought as she continued eating.“Where should we go after here?” Vera asked as she picked a flute glass to drink. Ezra's brow raised slightly on hearing this and she waited patiently for Evan to give a reply.But instead of a reply, what greeted her ears was silence. Confused, she slowly looked up and was stunned to see a pair of icy sharp eyes staring her way.“D-did I miss anything?” She stuttered nervously under his gaze. Vera noticed this and sighed heavily.There was no helping it!Ezra can on

    “Oh my, is that true?”“If what the man is saying is the truth then that means all the products on their websites are fake!” “That can't be!” “What do you mean ‘ that can't be!’ Didn't you hear the news two days ago? Where a man almost died from eating an expired product?” One of them snapped.“I didn't, so what happened?”“This happened! It was from the same mall!” “Goodness! This is truly unacceptable!” …Evan listened silently to the whispers in the air as his eyes stared at the woman on the floor, then at the man who had a smug expression.“Today is hell for you. I won't let this go so easily!” The man said coldly, then squatted in front of the girl.“You have two choices right now. It's either you make a refund or get disgraced in front of everyone,” He said coldly as he gazed at the lady in front of him.“P-please,”. A meek voice replied after and one could hear the trembling in their voice.“What did you say? I can't hear you!” The man replied harshly.“Oi! Did you say the

    "Yes?" Ezra's voice trailed off the instant she recognized who the voice belonged to."You did well, but next time make sure to understand the situation before you judge. At times, the customer might be right and the employee might be wrong," Evan calmly said to her and she nodded innocently."I will always learn from you master," She pressed her hands forward and bowed slightly."Stop doing that," Vera said and Evan rolled his eyes."You can call me Evan, instead of this master title," He said and her eyes widened slightly."Okay sir Evan," She replied joyfully."Only Evan," He sighed tiredly and Vera chuckled lightly."Okay, Evan," Ezra replied cautiously as though his name was fire and Vera couldn't take it anymore. She held her stomach as her laugh echoed on the first floor. ...After the dinner at the Mall, they decided to head back home and call it a day. The call pulled into Evan's house and Vera and Ezra stepped out of the car."Aren't you coming inside with us?" Vera asked

    Evan's feet froze slightly as his ears perked up and his eyes stared at the stairs ahead. "Christel?" He called out and right at that moment the sound that came off the stairs ceased."She must be home," He sighed lightly and took out his phone as he felt a buzz from it earlier. Claus sent."Hmm," Evan gazed at the number that was sent along with the message and frowned slightly."Always meeting," He muttered and shoved the phone back into his pocket. He stared at the stairs in front of him and glanced at the house one last time.'Maybe it is because I haven't been here for long. It's probably the reason this feeling of ' vacant ' came into my mind, that was why I mistook the silence of no one being around,' He thought. "At least she should have closed the door," He sighed as he started to make his way to the door but right at that moment the sound of rushed footsteps sounded from the stairs. "Christel?" He called out but when his eyes landed on the person, a deep frown crossed hi

    Time went by in a flash and soon it was morning. The melodious sounds of birds singing so early in the morning were the only lively sound heard in the morning. Evan gazed at his phone for the umpteenth time that morning and sighed heavily when he noticed that it was already past 8 am. " Sir, he will soon be here," William said cautiously."I know," Evan calmly replied."He's here sir," Claus's voice sounded ahead and soon the door opened. The sound of footsteps approaching sounded in the office and soon the people those footsteps belonged to appeared before them. Evan slowly looked up from the file he was going through as he stared at the presence in front of him. "Mister Evan, it is nice to finally meet you." A tall slender man with a smile on his face stood before Evan.His eyes were narrowed slightly and he had on a pair of glasses. Evan got off his office chair and handshake the hand stretched out to him."It is a pleasure, mister Damien," Evan calmly replied and in return sil

    The warehouse was enormous, looking all grand and simple. Evan's gaze lingered on the warehouse building and then it landed on Damien who stood beside him, his hand in his pocket.Damien smiled at the view of the warehouse, very well convinced that Evan would bite the deal.Evan liked the idea, it was a great one but, he didn't know much about the land and he didn’t trust who he was buying it from - Damien. He also doesn't wish to invest in something in which he knows nothing to little things about. Evan bit his lower lips, rested his index finger on his cheek, and went into a very deep thought.After a few minutes of silence, Evan sighed.“Let me think about it and get back.”“Sure. No problem.”Damien nodded and brought out his hand for a handshake, Evan took it and they had a firm handshake. They both got into the car and exited the warehouse.~Evan still thought about it as he arrived at his workplace and made it to his office. Immediately he opened his office door and saw Mrs Be

    "Damn it!" He cursed angrily as he quickly pulled to the sideways. Thank God his car didn't collide with that one. He shook his head and took out his phone to read the message that was sent to him again. "Damien..." He frowned slightly and took out his phone to call William. "Have you gotten anything so far?" He asked. "No sir," William replied.Evan nodded then shoved the phone back in his pocket. He went through his messages and stared at Damien's number.How did he know about Ezra? Evan frowned as the identity of Ezra became more complicated than it already looked.Who was she and why was she away that night? "The issue right now... is to find her," He thought and started to think of any possible location that she might be.Wait...."What if all this was a trap?" He frowned. As that thought crossed his mind. He quickly took out his phone and called Vera. The phone rang for a while before her voice came through and she sounded tired."Hello?""Is Ezra at home with you?"

    “I am sorry,” Ezra whispered shakingly as she slowly pointed the gun at Evan's way and pulled the trigger.Bang! A loud resonating gun sound echoed in the vast land killing all silence away. After a while, the sound slowly disappeared and silence returned to the land.“Ug!” A heavy thud sounded in front of Ezra as she watched the man bleed profusely.He coughed heavily and crashed to the floor. As much as he doesn't want to believe it, but looks at the blood sipping away from the hole in his head. Reality dawned on him as he realized that he had been shut. But it was too late to say anything as his mouth was too heavy for him to move anyway.All that was left in his eyes was regrets, pains, and… confusion.“Are you okay?” Evan's calm voice broke the silence and Ezra turned towards him fearfully.She gazed at Evan, then back at the man that was once behind him threatening to stab him. She held the gun in her hand and subconsciously clenched it tightly.“It's okay. You can leave the g

The digital realm had become our battleground, a space where we could amplify our voices and mobilize support for our cause with the click of a button."Our latest post is live," I announced to the group of young activists gathered around me, their eyes shining with excitement and anticipation.

The seeds of change had been sown, and now it was time for them to bear fruit. With determination coursing through my veins, I set out to meet with a group of citizens who had taken it upon themselves to uncover the truth behind the corruption that plagued our city.The grassroots journalism initiative had gained momentum in recent weeks, as more and more Venton City residents grew disillusioned with Edward's iron-fisted rule. Now, as I approached the modest office that served as the nerve center of their operation, I could sense the simmering energy of a group on the brink of discovery.Inside, the atmosphere crackled with excitement as I greeted the dedicated individuals who had dedicated themselves to the pursuit of truth.

We had organized a community outreach program to provide much-needed resources and support to the marginalized communities of Venton City, and the turnout exceeded even my most optimistic expectations."Thank you all for being here today," I began, my voice carrying across the bustling square. "Together, we have the power to make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most."The crowd erupted into applause, their enthusiasm contagious as they eagerly awaited their assignments for the day. I glanced around at the diverse group of volunteers, from seasoned activists to curious bystanders drawn in by the promise of positive change."Alright, let's get to work," I declared, a sense of purpose driving me forward as I began delegating tasks and organizing teams.

Everywhere I turned, I could feel the weight of Edward's oppressive presence, his toxic behavior poisoning the very air we breathed. But despite the growing resentment simmering beneath the surface, the citizens of Venton City remained powerless to challenge his authority.I watched in disgust as Edward threw trash recklessly onto the pristine sidewalks, his actions a blatant display of disregard for the environment and the community he purported to serve. But as much as I longed to confront him, I knew that doing so would only draw suspicion upon myself, further fueling his relentless pursuit of me.Instead, I kept my distance, observing from the shadows as Edward continued his reign of terror unabated. His vulgar language echoed through the streets, offending the ears of passersby who dared not speak out against him for fear of reprisal.But amidst the chaos, a glimmer of hope emerge

    The search for Davis had led us to the outskirts of Venton City, where rumors of his presence had been circulating. As my team scoured the area, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that gnawed at the pit of my stomach. Davis was a master of deception, and I knew all too well that he could be hiding in plain sight, waiting to strike when least expected.I trudged through the overgrown foliage, my senses on high alert as I scanned the surroundings for any sign of Davis. The sun beat down relentlessly, casting long shadows that seemed to dance mockingly around me. But amidst the oppressive heat and stifling humidity, I remained determined to uncover the truth.Suddenly, a rustling in the bushes ahead caught my attention, and I froze, my hand instinctively reaching for the gun holstered at my side. But before I could react, a familiar voice called out from the darkness."Evan, it's me," came Davis's voice, tinged with desperation.I hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to trust him.

    As I sat in my dimly lit office in , my mind raced with worry. The news of Rosetta being found by one of the hidden families struck me like a bolt of lightning. I had taken pity on her, buying her from that wretched auction house, hoping to give her a chance at freedom. But now, she was in the hands of another, and I feared what they might do with her.The family who found Rosetta was the secretive Montague clan. Known for their ruthlessness and secrecy, they operated in the shadows, pulling strings and controlling outcomes without ever revealing themselves to the public. I knew dealing with them would be tricky, but I had no choice if I wanted to ensure Rosetta's safety.However, my plans were thrown into disarray when I received word that Edward, a key figure in Venton City, was suspicious of my involvement in the attack on the military base.

    “What do you have?” He asked immediately he spotted her after returning from the meeting. “So this is what I saw” she announced, turning the laptop to him for him to view what was on display. It was a CCTV camera footage, the black and white quality made it difficult for him to see the face of each passerby but he could identify their genders with their physiques.It seemed like a regular street scene , with people walking in and out of frame going about their day like no cares in the world until one particular figure caught his eye. A lady figure wearing a caught with a distinctive gait, appeared on the screen. She looked suspicious as she kept looking back and forth for some reason before disappearing into the mansion.'What am I looking at, Vera?' Evan asked, his voice low and urgent.'That's the south entrance to Rose street where the event was held,' she replied, her eyes locked on his. 'And whose that lady entering there” “Keep watching and find out” she simply said.Evan's mi
