" Mother your useless son-in-law must have annoyed County last night. Can't you see he is still sleeping on the couch now? "
Javad heard the voice of Leah and was about to sit up when the water got sprinkled on his face by Lara.Swiftly he sits up and opens his eyes, trying not to alarm anyone of his allergy." You stupid man! Will you get your ass off the couch and do the chores! " Lara, county's mother yelled out angrily." Mother I have woken up already. I only... "" Will you shut up! "" I can't believe he is still sleeping at this hour. Only gracious God knows why he keeps getting handsome as seconds pass by in poverty " Leah gritted out this time." That must have been what that foolish daughter of mine fell for. I wouldn't have acquired this wealth if I have go for a pretty face " Lara cried out.County had left for her office, else she would have walked in to make the situation much worse for her husband.Javad's day started as usual with him cleaning the house. The domestic staffs never takes him seriously and he never cares.He did all his chores and retires into the room to take his bath. His wavy hair which stopped at the nape of his neck was wet when he goes to the closet for his clothes.Just as he was dressing up in his denim jean and t-shirt his eyes fell on a slip of paper hidden beneath county dresses.Javad out of curiosity pulled the slip of paper out and read its content.If only he hadn't. His face suddenly went white in shock and he ran to take his spectacle.Javad's hands were sweaty when he put on his glasses and reread the content on the slip of paper.It turns out to be a pregnancy test that shows County is a week pregnant.Adrenaline pumped life into Javad's legs and heart. His eyes went blurry as he made his way out.In a Swift movement, he grabbed the car key and dashes to his car before zooming off.His mother-in-law's calls were ignored completely by him. Never had anyone seen him that way.Javad stops the car before the tall company of Crow Enterprise where County is working as a secretary.He Storm into the large working place immediately, ignoring the call from the security men he bypassed.When he gets to the county desk he saw it empty and a frown etched on his face." No, no. It can't be. No! " He was muttering to himself as his heart continues to thud.All of a sudden he stopped and listen. He was overhearing the familiar moans and soft thuds.Javad slowly turn to the door of Zesa Crow the CEO of the company and Cold sweat broke out from his forehead.Even without opening the door, he knows what is going on in there.He finally musters up the courage to see things for himself, to be sure he has mistaken.Javad De Venta pushed open the door of Zesa's office and his whole world came crumbling before his eyes.His fragile heart was shattered into million of pieces and his eyes stung with pure rage and disappointment.Against the wall is County being pinned by her boss. Her body was partly opens and the rest are obvious.The two were stunned to see the newcomer. Especially county who quickly pulled away from the wall and goes to her husband." Javad it's not what you think " She declared breathlessly." So you weren't being banged against the wall by your boss? You aren't pregnant? "" Oh, it's what you think it is "Javad scoffed bitterly. His head reeled from too much of his emotions." County how could you? How could you do this to me? I... I love you "She finally sees that the game is up. Javad had learned all her little Secrets. No need to cower now." Well, it's what you think it is. Javad you know I never love you in the first place "" You accepted my ring and proposal County. you... "" I only extended my finger because you look so pitiful. I agreed to wed you because you are dying to marry me. You are nothing Javad. You don't even have any family or last name "Another shocking declaration that staggered Javad. Words clogged up in his throat endlessly at this.All of a sudden Zesa chuckled mockingly and he pulled County to his side hence angering Javad the more." So darling this is the useless husband you talk about? "" Yes. The same one I told you was a maid in my house. Last night he even sleep on the couch "" And my baby which is growing up in you? "" She's fine. A week old "Before Javad's eyes county goes into Zesa's arms.Slowly anger replaces his heart. Javad's eyes redden at once and he launched a punch at the CEO.A brawling ensued in no time but Javad has the upper hand. Thanks to the securities who came later to pull him away." I want him jailed county. I want this useless man in prison! " Zesa yelled angrily when he was freed.However, County pleaded on Javad's behalf. She quickly pulls him out of the office and out of the building entirely." Go away! Go away Javad. Now that you know everything I should inform you that it's over between us "Passerby had stopped to stare at the scene. Javad's T-shirt had wrinkled from the fight.He looks so pitiful and helpless. The love he had for County is just so Pure and deep.Tears made to fall from his eyes at her declaration but he remembers the warning.He can't shed tears. His allergy will worsen. He might go blind." County, please... Don't do this " He began to plead with his voice cracking up." Please. Alright, I forgive you. I know your boss forced you into doing it. I will accept the baby County. Please don't... don't push me away. Don't divorce me "Only a cold-hearted woman like County Felton would ignore the pitiful plea from her husband.She gritted her teeth in determination and then pulled out the ring on her finger." Goodbye Javad. It's over " That declaration came with her throwing the ring at his face.The ring he had bought with so much love and passion.Javad's heart was broken that day. He couldn't speak or think clearly. Slowly he goes to the car and drives out.He stopped abruptly by a bridge and parked at a side.He was fighting hard not to wallow in tears. For hours he sat still without moving.For three years he had tolerated all insults because of the love he had for County but all his hard work and dedication didn't pay off.5 o'clock chime when he was still in the car and he began to have another thought about going back to his clan, his family.Unexpectedly his cell phone rang out and he turn to see county calling.He was surprised at this but he picked it up after some seconds of hesitation." Hello, Hello Javad. Javad you need to come home. Save me Javad. Please ... " It was an urgent call from his wife.Her voice trail off and the line went dead all of a sudden. At once Javad forgets about meeting up with Cassius once again.He drove back to Felton's home and ran to the house after alighting." County? " He called aloud. " County! "In the living room, Javad stopped abruptly because He noticed the weirdness in the house.No one is in sight and County is nowhere to be seen. He look around and unexpectedly saw the blood on the marble tile.Javad was surprised at this. Slowly he Traced this blood on the floor into the room he shared with his wife.What he saw stole away his breath and energy. There, on the marble tile was a man.His head was bashed open and he is bleeding. Javad's face went white in shock and he walks ahead to attend to him.He check for his pulse but he felt nothing." Hey... Hello! Hey, you can't just die here. You can't... "His words were put to a stop by the siren from the cop's car. In no time the cops storm the room and dragged Javad de Venta." You are arrested for the murder of Salza Duke. May you rest in perfect hell "" He won't speak Mrs Felton. We have tried to make him utter a word of confession but he wouldn't. " All he demanded for was his wife. County Felton " " Well cop, I am not the mother-in-law to a murderer. My daughter isn't his wife " Javad heard the voice of Lara saying to the cops who has been guarding the dimly lighted room he was kept in. After some minutes he saw Lara and Leah walk in. Their perfume swirls around the room. " I heard you won't confess to your deeds Javad. You will be taken to court and be sentenced to prison " Lara said and Leah, the shrewd sister of County chipped in. " Even if you speak or not you will be jailed for murdering Salza Duke " " I don't know anyone that goes by that name " He finally Whispers. " He is dead before I got home " " You murdered him Javad. After you were arrested your luggage was searched and we found your reports. " You have an eye disorder. You can't see properly. You must have thought Salza Duke is Zesa Crow and you murdered hi
TWO YEARS AND SIX MONTHS LATER. Javad De Venta lay on his bed that day with his eyes open. He could overhear the soft footsteps coming his way. He turns gently to see the man before the bars. " Come out Javad. You have got a visitor " The man in uniform Said to him. He opened the door for Javad to walk out and he lead the way. All the while Javad was in puzzle as he thought about Who would have been merciful enough to visit him? " There you go " Javad looks ahead of him to see Cassius Montero. The consigliere of the De Venta clan. Goosebumps overwhelmed the skin of Javad as he approached Cassius who immediately get up on his feet upon seeing his boss. They settled down in a small room and the security men left to give them privacy. Silence stretched out between them like forever and their gaze locked. Abruptly a smile appears on the face of Cassius and he mutters. " It's almost unbelievable. I never thought you will still look the same. Look how finely carved your jaw is. "
Javad de Venta was cladded in his black raincoat that swirl atop his boots and he marched into the house of Vicente Rodrigo. " I would like to see Vicente," He said to the butler who had run to meet him. The Butler was shocked at his choice of words. " Who would dare call the master of this house by his name alone? " He mutters to himself as he left to call unto Vicente who has already gone to bed that night. Javad stood still, beside the window and waited. After some minutes the man with white beared walked into the living room. Vicente Rodrigo. A drug lord who is into the ungodly business since he is born. " Hey, who are you? " The older man asked but before Javad could reply his eyes caught the sight of Miran. His heart leap to his throat when he saw the lady who was supposed to be his wife cleaning the floor. That moment Alejandro, the son of Vicente decided to walk into the room. He bypassed Miran and reached out to molest her just like always. The lady try to wriggle fr
Sebastian Rodrigo a galant man with very long white hair pushed away the bottles of alcohol before him and breathed out in fury. His eyes were red from anger and he is beyond pacifying. His men in the living room quickly move to a safe distance. They know that murderous look on his face and they fear to be a victim. " What did you just say, uncle? Didn't you say you saw a man who looks like Javad de Venta or a man who IS Javad de Venta? " Vicente's lips were quivering when he answered. " Sebastian the man I saw... Is Javad. He is the real son of de Venta. He is alive. He is different now " " It can't be. I order his death twelve years ago. The man you saw can't be Javad. He is dead! " " I think you should calm down Boss. There is no way Javad is... " One of Sebastian's men was saying but he ended up getting shot in the head. The rest stood transfixed in fear. " He has no fear in his eyes Sebastian " Vicente continues as though nothing horrible had taken place. " The man I saw
The maid brought the cup of coffee to the dining table where Zesa sat. His angry eyes glared at the beautiful lady and he asked tightly. " Where is that unfortunate woman? " " Young master, madam is still on her bed " " At this hour? Call her out immediately! " The maid rushes immediately to call unto County. In no time the ex-wife of Javad de Venta came running into the dining room. Life has passed her by. Ever since she tied the knot with Zesa Crow her life has never been the same. " you have a way of upsetting me when it's least expected county. How could you be sleeping at this hour? " " Zesa... I... " The aggressive man took no time before cutting her off with a smack across the face. The very thing Javad had never done to her. County is used to the ill-treatment so instead of yelling she gets on her knees and apologizes for waking up late. At that moment the delivery man arrived with the daily newspaper. He extended it to Zesa and left immediately. The angry man turns
County drove into Felton's home and alighted very aggressively. She opened the bonnet to get her luggage and she headed into the house.Lara was just having her morning tea with Leah when County stormed into the living room. " Mother! Sister! " Lara nearly spilled her tea. She stood up immediately to answer the call from her last daughter. " County. Why are you like this? You should be ... " She stopped when her eyes took the luggage. " Wait, do not tell me you left Zesa because he beat you up again? " " Dear sister " Leah chipped in this time as she walks into the living room. " You have got to return. Do not worry, I will visit Zesa in his office and plead with him " County was stunned. Her jaw dropped and she felt like going crazy. " Both of you should shut the hell up! " She screamed out unexpectedly. Lara and Leah exchange glances at this but keep their cool to hear her out." You two must have been living under the rock. Don't you listen to the news? " " We do County, oka
Silence fell in the large living room and everyone exchanged glances. They thought Javad is only speaking nonsense.At last, Aurora chuckled mockingly and then turn to the members that were peeking from different angles. " This is the man you lay your hopes on? This deranged man who is an ex-convict? " Murmurs Arose immediately after this and Aurora concluded while settling her gaze on Javad. " You will never be like your father. You will never be like de Venta and let's not forget you murdered him " She left after these bitter words that dug deep into Javad's heart and tore it apart but he managed not to react. Instead, he turns to Vicente who quickly looks away as he mutters. " I ... Will take my leave now and inform Sebastian about your final decision " Vicente exited the house immediately with his few men and silence dominated the living room. Javad slowly goes to the window and peers out. His Milky long fingers tap the wall slightly as he lean on. The moment was tense a
Javad arrived before the large hospital and alighted. He quickly walk into the hall, avoiding the media who had thousands of questions. When he gets to the room where Aurora was he sigh softly but didn't get to work immediately. He could see in the room some of Chen's clan who had arrived out of concern. " I hate you Javad. I hate you so much. I wish you could drop dead and never rise again " He heard Aurora saying bitterly but he shrugged. " Beg Aurora. Beg me to help you " Anahita walks in at that moment in surprise. " Javad you gets what you wanted. help her right away! " " What will it hurt if you both swallow your damn pride and say please! " He retorted hotly. Never had anyone seen him so angry. The Chen clan who is present quickly backed off to a corner and Anahita sagged her shoulder but was still glaring. " You said I am nothing like my father. Hell, why would I have to be like him? " He asked Aurora angrily. " I won't be like a man who trusted you, hypocrites as his
A sound of someone clapping came from behind Javad and he set his jaw when the scent of Lara and Daniel Duke came to his nostrils. " How nice. I see you are much more powerful than your father who died so poorly. How sad Javad" Daniel Duke taunted with a mocking chuckle. Javad didn't reply. He only gritted his teeth and watched as Daniel turned to call out. " Another coffee please " The same Waiter came again but this time with shivering legs. He presented the coffee which he placed on the table before fleeing. Now Daniel slowly pulled out his cell phone from his pocket and extended the screen for Javad to watch. There a live video was showing. It contains Blaze being held in a dimly lighted room. The little girl was locked up, crying and yelling for her dad who isn't no more as usual to help. Javad's heart dropped at this and he began to panic. He snapped up his head to county this time to ask." What the hell are you doing County? This psychopath held my nephew in a dark roo
That morning, Everything is going very well for Javad de Venta who had sent the necessary documents to Anahita Chen to do the needful and as he had promised himself, he visited the home of his aunty Sima to pay blaze a visit. The young boy was still in his bedroom when Javad's car park before the house. He alighted and walk in to knock at the door. It was sima that open up and Javad couldn't help but give her a hug. They exchange pleasantries, the woman in so much awe to see him. " Where is blaze aunty Sima ? " He asked and the woman replied. " In his room, getting ready for school " At once Javad goes ahead to attend to his nephew. He walk into the bedroom that Sima had arranged for her son to see blaze sitting on the bed quietly. He seem sad, to be sure and this broke Javad's heart. He walk ahead to him and settled carefully beside him. " Good morning blaze. it's been a long while " He said lightly, trying to create a lively atmosphere. " You try to hurt Mother in the past
Javad de Venta open his eyes and look around frantically. Very swiftly he launched forward to the mirror where he confirmed his real identity. The man that stare back at him in the mirror is no one but himself, the true Javad de Venta. A sigh escaped his lips and he flopped on the bed only to look around to see everyone in the bedroom with him. Even jade was there, the expression on everyone's faces of surprise at his behavior. He alone knew about the journey he has gone through and back. The position he had seen Zahra and the two task he has done and accomplished. How long have I been asleep? " He asked and Skyler replied gently. " Just a two days and a lot has happened in that two days " This makes Javad's jaw dropped. He couldn't believe it but then he knows it's the work of system. He turn to Vier and gulped down hard before Shifting his gaze gently. " I have gone to see Zahra and I witnessed how she is suffering. I have decided to obey Vires. I will take revenge for him.
The two best friends couldn’t believe their sight. Chen was however more stunned to see siwang and how capable he now is. Slowly his legs took him to where siwang stood. “ You… How possible are you here? “ “ It’s a long story that seem short. I can explain later. Oh Chen. I am so excited to see you “ Thanks that the instructors isn’t present, yet, Siwang shared a warm hug with Chen. “ How is the hole in your heart? Do not tell me you work all night “ Chen asked, staring down at the axe in siwang’s hand. “ I do “ He replied with a chuckle. “ I can’t believe it myself. The hole in my heart is healed. Now I am more healthy “ Chen nodded uneasily, though he knows there is more to the story. He look around for sometime and then sigh sadly. “ I should probably get to work now Siwang. A certain siblings are out, awaiting their punishment which would take place in an hour time because they fail to do their task “ This makes Siwang clenched his jaw. He look away for som
Haoran and Siwang were ushered into SRCT. Siwang scanning everyone carefully. It was a long hall from the entrance. They follow the Instructors who lead them to a large rectangular room where there is Numerous bunk beds but No one in sight. “ You both should share a bed. The other boys will arrive soon to get rest. You will be working the night shift “ The man who has lead them instructed. He didn’t wait for any reply before he walk out at once, leaving siwang and Haoran in puzzle. They stood still for many minutes of silent without moving. Finally Haoran walk to a bed at the window and flop on it. “ Night shift? I am confused “ He mutters to siwang who was busy thinking hard. “ Chen might be one of the boys who will be here soon. At night, I guess we will know our fate “ No sooner had Siwang finish speaking, the Instructor brought some other guys and left. Siwang went to the sit beside Haoran and they waited patiently for the night. After sitting for about two hours, num
The cold chilled wind and the cry of some kids from nearby finally forced Siwang to open his eyes. He sat up very slowly, feeling dizzy at first. He look around to realize he is back to his normal world. He found himself in a tent which was beside a glowing hearth. A little crowd were around this fire, munching on dry bread. Lost to the world and waiting for death to arrive. Siwang sat up from the bed he laid on and walk out of the tent. The cold wind compelled him to get beside the hearth as well so he could keep warm. “ Hi “ A man Siwang sat with greeted. “ I am Haoran. I get you into my tent when you collapse on the floor “ Siwang turn to Haoran slowly, the man who seem to be in his late twenties smile at him. “ I’m siwang. Thank you for your help “ “ Don’t mention “ Haoran reply gently with a shrug. “ We are going to die anyway “ “ I don’t think so “ Siwang reply gently. He smiles softly at Haoran and then turn to the fire. “ We shouldn’t be negative “ Haor
Siwang thought he is Dead but no. He soon realized he was actually laying on a flofy bed. His eyes fluttered opens and he look around to see he is in a grandiose bedroom. His heart dropped down to his stomach when he saw this. “ No … No no, this is wrong “ He sprang up at once and made to dash out when he caught his reflection in the body length mirror. A sight he has never expected. He stop at once to stare at himself in the mirror. His hands going up to his cheek, to feel the satin smooth skin he now possessed. Relieved was he when he realized he still have his face but he knows something else is amiss. Siwang walk forward to the mirror and peer closely. A gasp escaped his mouth when he saw his eyes glowing in bright red light. He couldn’t believe his sight. He turn slowly, trying hard to find an explanation to what is going on. “ Where am I ? “ He asked himself cluelessly but then receive a response. “ In the system world Master. Welcome, you are the New host “ The
Siwang’s eyes fluttered open to gaze up. His vision was still hazy but he wasn’t feeling any pain. His hands went to his head and he tried to pushed himself up. “ Don’t even think about it “ Chen’s voice came through. At once Siwang’s vision become clearer. He sat up to take his vicinity. He realized he is in a tent. “ You should lay down siwang. You are still healing “ “ Where are we? “ He asked Instead, ignoring Chen’s advise. “ Just outside the survival rescue team camp. SRCT “ “ What happened? “ He asked softly, trying to remember how he was brought in. Chen didn’t respond for sometime and that brought a frown to siwang. “ I followed you secretly to Xiu’s home and just as expected, she betrayed you and leave you for death. The planet shook when you was left outside and most of the buildings collapse Including Xiu’s. She is here with other people who are now homeless. The government invited the homeless people here. Those who are wealthy and healthy enough would be allo
After the planet start cracking up and shooking, the sky had lost it’s full valour and Beauty so all the time the atmosphere is covered in green mist. Siwang walked to his bike,hop on it and drove out. He tried not to panicked for he knows the consequences. His heart still needs healing. He look around for sometime, trying to adjust his vision to the green mist that filled the air. The street was Empty and everywhere is chilled cold. The walls of numerous building had started cracking up, filling siwang with concern. He tried to focus on his mission. His girlfriend, Xiu. After a Long lonely ride from his home, siwang finally stop at a very tall building. He look up at it for sometime, his eyes actually on a particular window which belongs to Xiu. Slowly he pulled out his cellphone and dialed her number. After the third ring, the call was answered but Instead of the feminine , tantalizing voice of Xiu, the thick deep voice of a man boom at the other end. “ Hello, i
