Destiny's Lectures Chapter 7: Breaking and Entering
After the whirlwind of her first day’s induction at Auburn University, Alexis finally stepped into her new one-bedroom flat—a small sanctuary that came bundled with her contract. The moment she closed the door behind her, a wave of relief washed over her. The space was surprisingly generous, offering more room than she had dared expect, a welcome contrast to the cramped, temporary accommodations she had endured before.Sunlight streamed gently through the expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, draping the room in a warm, natural glow that softened the clean lines of the modern interior. The living area was open and inviting, with pale wooden floors that stretched beneath a simple but elegant sofa in muted tones, positioned thoughtfully to face a minimalist media console. A couple of green plants—fresh and lively—sat on the windowsill, their leaves brushing the soft curtains that fluttered faintly with the breeze.To one side, a sleek kitchenette gleamed with polished white countertops, c
Destiny's Lectures Chapter 6: Welcome to Auburn
INT. AUBURN UNIVERSITY – DEAN’S OFFICE – LATER THAT DAYThe office was a rich blend of old-world academia and modern flair—wood-paneled walls, digital boards flashing department updates, and towering bookshelves that smelled faintly of cedar and ambition. The golden afternoon light poured in through arched windows as Ashton Thomas stood beside Alexis, ushering her in.Behind the desk stood Dean Charlemagne Smith—mid-sixties, short, plump, with a spring in his step and a sparkle in his eye that no amount of bureaucratic stress could dim. He clapped his hands together as soon as Alexis entered.“Miss Wood!” he beamed, walking around his desk to shake her hand with both of his. “It is an absolute pleasure. You look just like your father did when he first walked into my classroom—bright-eyed and full of questions. Except with better hair.”Alexis chuckled awkwardly, brushing a loose red strand behind her ear.“That’s… flattering, I think.”Ashton stood quietly to the side, arms crossed, ob
Destiny's Lectures Chapter 5: The Meeting
One Week Later – Auburn University Main GateThe sun was already warm against Alexis' skin as she stepped past the ornate iron gates of Auburn University. Clad in her white inner blouse, dark grey blazer and black pencil skirt, her heels clacked rhythmically on the cobblestone path, the sound almost drowned out by the gentle hum of student chatter and the faint melody of a saxophone being played somewhere in the distance.She gasped. No amount of research had prepared her for the scale of the place.From her vantage point, Auburn looked like the architectural lovechild of the British Parliament and a Silicon Valley think tank—a breathtaking sprawl of regal stonework blended with smart glass walls, towering digital banners, solar-paneled rooftops, and green spaces dotted with sculptures and kinetic art.Her gaze followed a large glass building ahead that curved into a horseshoe shape. Digital kiosks blinked to life as students walked by, and a giant interactive LED board scrolled throu

23:00 – A pub in Westminster.The place was lively, as it always was on a Friday night. Glasses clinked, low laughter spilled out in waves, and somewhere in the corner, someone was butchering Oasis on the karaoke mic.Ashton sat at the far end of the bar, nursing a glass of scotch, the amber liquid catching the light each time he swirled it. The tie was gone, the sleeves rolled up, and the second button of his dress shirt undone. His hair, once neatly styled, had relaxed into loose, slightly disheveled waves—evidence of the long day behind him.Next to him, taking up a lot more space on the barstool, was Adeyomi Goodorally—his colleague and, on most days, the only person who could get more than a grunt or two out of Ashton when work wasn't involved.Adeyomi was built like a fortress—broad shoulders, carved biceps, and hands the size of dinner plates. His skin was a flawless, deep mahogany, catching a sleek sheen under the golden lights. A former national-level footballer back in Niger
Destiny's Lectures Chapter 3: Ashton Thomas
The morning sun cast a warm glow over Auburn University's campus, illuminating its sprawling grounds where students hurried along pathways lined with blooming dogwoods and towering oaks. At the heart of the university stood the main administrative building—an imposing structure with a striking resemblance to the iconic British Parliament.Yet, where the Parliament's historic Gothic spires and ornate detailing spoke of centuries past, Auburn's counterpart was a confident reimagination. Sleek glass panels reflected the sky alongside limestone pillars, and a gracefully curved façade blended traditional architectural lines with contemporary minimalism. Intricate arches framed the entrances, but above them, digital banners displayed the day's announcements in vibrant color, seamlessly merging past and present.Clusters of students gathered around the wide plaza at the front, where interactive digital boards rose like modern sentinels. These high-resolution touchscreens displayed dynamic, 3
Destiny's Lectures Chapter 2: New Beginnings
Present Day – Hammersmith, London07:12 a.m.The morning light was soft—too soft for the kind of weight sitting in her chest.Alexis stirred beneath the cream cotton sheets, her lashes fluttering as the last remnants of the dream clung to her like morning fog. Her breaths came fast, uneven, as though she had been running... or fighting.Her eyes blinked open slowly to the familiar sight of her childhood bedroom—walls painted in muted sage, a tall window cracked open just slightly to let the breeze in, the soft creak of floorboards in the hallway beyond. The shelves still held the books she loved in school, her old ballet shoes hung on a hook beside the door. Everything was safe.But her body didn't feel safe.Her heart pounded, and her throat was dry.And her arm—Alexis slowly sat up, pushing her tangled red hair back over her shoulder. She looked down at her right wrist, expecting it to be bare, normal. But her skin tingled. Burned, almost.The memory was too vivid to have been just
