A Village In JaronLiam and Sarah had been walking for days, evading the men from the conglomerate took up most of their energies. "Can I die now?" Sarah cried, falling heavily to the ground. Liam looked back r her but didn't go to help. "I'm tired as well. According to the direction given to us, we should be nearing the sea depot. Once we have them there, we'd cause a distraction and head back to the village. Then we'd be out. Just hold on a little longer, please." Sarah didn't say anything as she already had her eyes closed, breathing shallowly. When she opened her eyes, it met with the man's hardened yet handsome face. "Fine!" She got up and staggered towards him. They walked into a corner before the two got dragged into a corner. Sarah had already given up her life to fate while Liam struggled out of their grips and fought a few of them. But because he had been starved for days, his strength had weakened. "We're not foes." One of the men hurriedly said as he took off his m
A Village In JaronA man putting on a face mask got down from the last car and walked towards the four of them. "Cheetah and Lynx, I didn't think I'd see you guys anytime soon. However, it's a pleasure meeting you." The man said. "Is this the traitorous Python who betrayed his master in exchange for just a little power? I must say, I expected more." Cheetah scoffed. Python pulled off his mask and his dark skinned face came into their view. A smile radiated his face next as he said, "Because we just met, I'd disregard your words. However, if I may ask, give me Liam Verlice and Sarah Mooney and we can't pretend none of this ever happened." "Sorry traitor, but you'd be getting them over my dead body." Lynx said, stepping forward. "If you say so, who I'm I not to grant your request." The smile on Python's face deepened as he raised both hands signalling the men with him to aim his guns at Cheetah and Python. Before he gave the final order, he asked, "Are you sure about this?" Cheeta
Underground House Of PierceQueenie laid on her bed that morning with creased eyebrows. She seemed to be recalling something but they made no sense. The door to the room opened and Pierce walked in carrying some bags. When he saw her expression, he dropped the bags and rushed to her. "Is everything alright, Queenie?" He asked worriedly, his hands going to her neck. Queenie shook her head and struggled to get up but her bloated stomach prevented her. In the end, she had to continue laying down. "When is our vacation ending? We've been here for a month." Cold sweat instantly appeared on the man's forehead. He had made her believe they needed to go on a vacation somewhere. She had asked him times without number where the vacation was but the man kept mute. "We will go soon. I'm having an important meeting in Hiltonia next week. We should be gone by then." The man said hurriedly when he saw her brows twitch together.The woman said nothing afterwards. With soft pats from Pierce she
Knights Mansion In Maile"Why do we have to stay indoors while Queenie doesn't remember who she is?" Liam asked for the nth time since he was brought there. He had tried to convince Jacobs Knight that Queenie needed their help but the man had remained adamant that the brewing situation would be resolved if they no longer tried to double cross Natasha. Lucas, who has also been tied up to prevent him from leaving the room when no one was looking, spoke out. "Most times I wonder if you really bore Queenie with our mother or she's also adopted like that vile spawn, Natasha." "Enough of the badmouthing against our sister!" Lucian cut him off furiously. Accusing eyes turned to him but that didn't deter his next words. "Natasha has always been out of her mind and distant with us because she thinks we do not care much about her." "I actually don't." Lawrence mused from where he sat. He received a warning glare from Lucian. "If we act on impulse and go on a killing spree we would be givin
No one said anything. Roxanne seemed rather relaxed as she drummed her finger on the table. It sounded like she was counting but when they looked at her face, she had her signature smug smile which made it difficult for them to know what she was thinking. "Are you all accepting her back to the conglomerate?" She finally asked, relieving her finger of the work of drumming on the table. "Should I remind you of what the three of them did back then?" "They're all aware, Roxanne. Besides, people do make mistakes. You do also, so why are you holding ours against us?" Raphael asked, a gloomy smile evident on his face. Roxanne's eyes settled on his face and a frown occupied her face. "Raphael Dean, I wasn't talking to you. But since you took the initiative to speak to me first, I'll answer you." Then she leaned forward and spat out. "Your errors have long surpassed what anyone can think of. The only mistake Queenie made back then was to leave you half dead. She disregarded my suggestion o
She was soon interrupted when a call entered her phone. Apprehensively, she stopped what she was doing and searched for her phone. Seeing it was her nightmare, she sighed and then swiped the green icon with shaky hands. "I want to see you today Alicia. Make your way to Fountain Valley in thirty minutes. Delay can be very dangerous." "..." Before Alicia could say anything, the call got ended by him. Knowing the man as a man of his words, she quickly got herself ready and walked out of the room. She collided with Velon who was walking in tiredly at that moment. The man looked her over before asking, "Where are you going?" "To meet a friend." It wasn't the first time he had asked her such but it was the first time she reacted in a calm manner. Her behavior got the man suspicious but he decided not to let it show and merely nodded his head. "Okay." The woman hurried out of the house almost immediately and the man continued walking to their bedroom. When he met the disheveled room, h
Before anyone knew it, two months had passed and Queenie had become even more cranky. Audrey, Jessica and Roxanne had returned to her side and as a result, she didn't think anything was wrong. As her day of delivery grew closer, so did the nervousness in their body heighten. Natasha nor Raphael hadn't made any move and the thought that they could be aiming to hurt Queenie and her child when they were at their lowest caused everyone a heartache. Jacobs on the other hand battled with his cancer while having restless nights. That morning, Queenie walked out of the bathroom with a face towel to wipe off the water on her face. Pierce, who was typing something, stopped and looked towards her. He put the laptop down and walked to her. She sat down on the bed and held her waist as her bulging stomach caused her great pain. "Have you come again to see what your children are doing?" She asked with a smile. Pierce returned the smile and squatted, then placed his head gently on her stomac
In a suiteNatasha poured a glass of whiskey for the nervous Raphael. She dropped the bottle and took up the glass. "Here, have a drink to calm your nerves." She said as she pushed it towards him. The man stared at her then at the glass. He took it after a moment of hesitation and took an aggressive sip. "I don't get your plan, Natasha." He said as he dropped the glass back on the table hastily. Natasha smirked and drank directly from the bottle. "What exactly do you not understand, Raphael?" "Queenie should go into labour any time soon. I heard you instructing someone over the phone to take action when that happens. That is what I don't understand." The man clarified. Natasha looked at him and shrugged. "The road will be blocked and she'll stay in traffic for a long time before she gets to the hospital." "You don't sound like someone who would be willing to remove the cause of the traffic later on." Raphael mused. "Yeah, I know." She sighed and took his glass of whiskey after
