VOWS OF VENGEANCE A big Refuge
It felt like I was floating on my air, the world around me felt like it was spinning. I had never felt this type of hangover in a while, it must have been a crazy night…I thought as I tried to steady myself gripping the sheets of my bed wondering how I had been so careless when muffled voices reached my ears.Slowly I tried to focus on the voices when I heard a slight beeping machine, slowly my eyelids fluttered open and I was faced with a ceiling that was certainly strange making it clear I was not in my room."You should have been here earlier." A soft feminine voice uttered, making me incline my head in the direction ignoring the throb in my head. I tried to focus on who was speaking."Annie, don’t start." A familiar voice shot back laced with frustration."Don’t start?" Annie retorted, scoffing. "He was bleeding out, Josh! Where were you?"Blood. The word sent a slow, crawling heat through my chest. My fingers twitched against stiff sheets, memories flickering back in fragments,
VOWS OF VENGEANCE The Cost Of Survival
The private suite was just as quiet now as when I arrived. The kind of silence that felt unnatural pressing down on me like a weight I couldn’t shake. The steady beep of the heart monitor and the occasional shuffle of the doctor moving around the room were the only sounds breaking the stillness. Pain throbbed through my ribs with every breath a dull ache reminded me of just how close I had come to losing everything. My libs were still sluggish from whatever medication they had pumped into me but my kind was clear too clear. I wasn’t supposed to be here I wasn’t supposed to be alive but somehow I managed to escape death. Maybe that was lucky or not. I was about to ask the doctor for water when he suddenly pulled out his phone his expression tight. He glanced at me before pressing a button putting the call on a speaker. “You need to hear this.” He muttered setting the phone down on the table beside me. I frowned but said nothing he must have something to show me so I just slipp
VOWS OF VENGEANCE The Bond Of Blood
The doctor might have agreed to keep his mouth shut for now. But I knew better than to rely on just one person to keep my secret. If I wanted to stay ahead I needed a backup plan. My mind searched through the people I knew trying to figure out who I knew could keep a secret or who I could trust but no one came up. They’re all fake and trusting them is like digging my own grave. I inhaled resting my head on the pillow when a mane struck my thought. Roslyn If I can at least give some 50% of my trust it should be Roslyn. She’s unpredictable sharp and good. I wasn’t sure if I could trust her but I also knew she was my best option. I picked up my phone and dialed her number. The phone rang twice before she picked up. “Jordan?” Her voice was steady but I could hear the sight edge of sorry beneath it. “Where the hell have you been?” “Worried about me?” I smirked. “This isn’t funny!” She snapped. “Do you have an idea of what’s happening? Your family is practically setting the city o
VOWS OF VENGEANCE A Mother's Confession
I sighed tiredly as I followed Roslyn behind. She had promised to tell me something and I'm so eager to hear what she had to say. We stopped at a small barbecue stand that evening. The bar was buzzing with noise from a not too far distance."Would you have some?" I asked, staring over at her and she nodded. "I'm paying for two" I told the man and he smiled before wrapping up the barbecue,he handed it to me and I gave the two to Roslyn.I dipped my hand into my back pocket and brought out my wallet and paid for the barbecue. "Do you sell those drinks too?" I asked pointing over at the cokes that were resting on the wall."Of course I do. It won't be nice if you buy barbecue without drinks, should I wrap it up?" He asked and i nodded and he gave me the drink while I paid the bills. After doing so,I look into my wallet and I saw no penny in it."Let's go over there" I pointed a bench not too far from the stand and we went there and sat on it."You said you want to tell me something" I re

I trust Silvia to do just as I've told her to. All I was expecting at the moment was just results, results of the strings I was going to pull, something he'd never recover from. At some point, I felt selfish. I was literally putting Silvia's life on the line because I know he'd surely come for her after everything's going to be leaked.

The Restored stock
Williams stretched out in prison, looking for a better way of handling the situation but found none as everything that came knocking on his door came with a lot of baggage that he could not even comprehend and was looking for the best way to handle the situation. He shouldn't have allowed his anger to get the best out of him because now he was behind bars again for the same reason he wanted to leave. "Do not come over here unless you have something tangible to tell me. If you want to convince me why don't you go ahead and just tell me from the start instead of making me believe that I have a chance but that's not the truth of the matter." He said a little bit annoyed when he saw Ethan again. This time Ethan had forgotten what it felt to be remorseful especially when he came to somebody like this and he wanted to treat him to a point where he would regret his life and never tried the same thing that he did in the beginning. "I was going to be merciful to you but I realized that you
The Returnee
Williams looked at the interior of the cell wondering how his life had declined to this state where he could no longer feed properly and was left to rot inside a place where he had absolutely no idea what was going on. It was almost as though he was wasting his time here when it could be outside taking revenge. The amount of pain that he felt was enough to send him almost across borders, but he didn't say a word; instead, he just kept on looking. The only reason that he had not committed suicide was because he didn't want Ethan and Miranda to win. They were the ones behind all of this he knew this. He just needed somebody who could trust him enough to bring him out of this mess and then he would show them the stuff that he was made of without having to break a sweat. The problem of having to wait for so long before somebody decided to take pity on him was something that he did not want to take for granted, but at the same time, he was still trying to figure out what to do next.
Odds and Opps
A little more push and Williams would have confessed that he was the one who had pulled that stunt but he already had a goal and had not achieved it yet. He would rather die than to speak up, even if the people were being screened one after the other. "Oh, is there anything wrong with you apart from the fact that you already have things set up? I don't know why you will restrict us from leaving when my mother is already in the hospital? I can't stay here simply because you did not trust that the people you employed would not have a hand in this shenanigans!"As truthful as his words might have sounded, everything was completely fake to Ethan and he began to watch the person carefully. For him to possess such an audacity, he had something to hide and it was not something small. Phil's manager also felt the same way and he turned to look at the person who was challenging him. This wasn't somebody who was begging for a job, instead it was somebody who couldn't wait to get out of thi
Explosions
"Somebody grab this man! He was the one talking to her before she fainted. Who knows if he has done something simply because she doesn't like him anymore? I don't know why you would subject yourself to such horror simply because you cannot take the hint that this woman doesn't want you in her life anymore?!" The insult did nothing against Ethan as Cassandra's fiance kept on shouting and trying to disgrace him."I'm sure you have the CCTV cameras, why do you act like a local? If you cannot use your money wisely, do you even think you should get married?" Ethan pointed at him in a derogatory manner. "I'm not going to stand here and watch you insult me simply because you cannot use your intelligence. I don't bloody care about your opinion about me either, in case you have not noticed."The insults run deeper than Phil intended it to. His face colored, as he moved closer, attempting to smack this man across the face and show everyone that he was capable. "Oh you wouldn't dare do that to
The poison
Williams watched from the server's desk, wearing his mask over his face as he moved around, entertaining visitors and asking what they would like. This idea was suggested by his friend which he had initially thought didn't make any sense until he realized how important it was to him and then figured out that he had probably lost a lot."So, what the hell is this? Do you think that I would not have been mad at you or something? I have more than enough reason not to listen to your words even if you try." Cassandra challenged Ethan when he pointed out the obvious. "My husband is a straight man, he loves me so much and...""He is bisexual. Cassandra you don't want to end up with someone like this. You cannot cope. You know this deep down, so why the unnecessary anger at me? Didn't you have a check like you should? or let me guess... You just wanted to snatch anyone that you could find and didn't mind what could come out of it right?""Yeah, and what business of yours is it? Is there any
Death trap
"Merriment has never suited anyone better than you." Ethan said with a small smile that screamed annoyance when he came in contact with Cassandra.Cassandra's eyes widened in horror at his presence, hoping that this was nothing but a prank. "You came!" She exclaimed.Ethan laughed at her unnecessary surprise because he felt like she should have known by now that he would have figured out that she was trying to move on with another person. "What kind of ex would I be if I didn't show up at your intimate engagement? Does Williams know that you are getting married to another person?" He asked in a good natured tone, shocking her to the bone.If anyone had told Cassandra a long time ago that she would have to bother herself so much about Ethan, she would have refused and called them a liar. "So what?" She challenged, "Are you going to tell him? Are you going to scream at the top of your voice that I have decided to move on with my life and not get carried away by whatever is expected o
The Wedding
"Engaged? To whom?" Ethan asked with mild curiosity, as he kept on scrolling through his phone, looking for the news in the media. How she had managed to keep it hush was still a surprise to him because immediately the media got wind of such news, they would have a field day publishing it to whomever it may concern. "So, according to insiders, it is rumored that now that Williams has been stripped of his position and she has no need for him anymore, she decided to move on with life and I don't blame her one bit." "Yeah, right. That is wonderful to hear. I wouldn't advise her to stay with him either." Ethan responded. Not only was Williams now broke, he was also a woman beater, who knew what she could say that would anger him and that may lead to her demise, so it was better that she was far away from him where he couldn't touch her. "Yeah, right. I have absolutely nothing to fear, and at the same time, I still feel like there is an issue somewhere that I have to address. Do you h
The Old Flame
Ethan leafed through the pages of information before him, enjoying his solitude.He had been used to being alone most of the time and now that wasn't just going to change because Miranda had also traveled to Zanzibar.Since she wasn't wanted by the cops, there was no need for her to remain in the country like her ex fiance and while there was a huge difference between both parties, they ensured that they remained as cordial as possible.His phone rang, cutting off his attention from what he considered important to himself."Jenna?" "Y-yeah, I'm on my way to your house. I hope you are at home. Even if you aren't, I would wait for you. I wanted to inform you about my movement so that you don't get worried about it." She explained. As much as he would have loved some more explanation he just figured out that she always found her way around things and the best way was to let her do her thing. He could handle her surprises better than Miranda. "Tell me the details for your arrival. Hav
The Recruit
"I have only wanted nothing more than to have someone by my side who could always understand me whenever there were problems. Mr Ethan is a dangerous person to cross in case most of you have not figured out that yet. If you have forgotten, I think this is your reminder." The man kept on speaking. Ethan watched them from his office, he needed somebody to put instead of him by the time he was gone from Miranda's company. He of all people knew that he wouldn't be here forever and that was enough to send him into a frenzy. It was also enough to make him begin to have other thoughts. "So, has there been anything that you have done against this company that we don't know because the moment we find out, trust me when I say that you wouldn't be spared. I don't care how long it has taken you to build a reputation. I would crumble it." Lily in the sales department spoke up. She wasn't going to allow somebody to make her look like the bad person when it wasn't as though he was also perfect h
