“Hey, are you ok little girl can you hear me“
“Who are you calling little“
“What“
“I said who are you calling little, pipsqueak“
“You are a feisty one, aren’t you“
“Go away, do not make me get up there“
“And how are you getting up here if I may ask, you are struck are you not“
“No am not, go away“
“Ok then, have a loving day, little one“
Alex laughed in his head, what kind of a girl is this, she is too prideful to ask for help but he wanted to see how this will turn out. He hid himself behind a wall and watched as she struggled to get free from her entrapment. Frustrated he walked to her and help her get freed.
“Put me back, I can do it myself“
“Really, you have been down here for close to an hour now“
“I do not care, just put me back I did not ask for your help“
“You are just unbearable, a simple thank you will be good“
“I do not have the energy to say that word besides I told you I could do it, if you had only minded your business, now excuse me“
She pushed pass him and Alex was intrigued, amazed and hurt who does she think she is, unbelievable he should have just left her there but he was the host and has to make his guest feel comfortable at his Dad’s stupid Halloween party but this girl dressed as a fairy just turned him into a fool, what was she even doing in this dark cellar all by herself anyway, wanting to know more he pursue her but she was nowhere to be found “
“Who was that girl“
A question his mind has been asking him for 7 years, he could not get her out of his head, no matter how hard he tried. School was reopening and he has to get back to Seaview. He had spent all his vacation at Port city learning his family trades and connections. He was the heir to his family Legacy and fortune but he has always wanted to be a Doctor which was out of the question. He has to be a CEO and a frightening one at that to gain respect and loyalty from his employees and partners. Every time count as his Father was in a hurry to instill his believes into him. He grew colder and distant each passing day but stronger and smarter too. Being 15 years means he has little to no time to be perfect, standing in front of the school he watched as his class mates greet each other with smiles and stories of their fun vacation and his eyes landed on her, he was surprised and happy for some unknown reason, there she was, she was real, he did not dream it, she really is a living person. For the first time in 10 years he smiled, his body relaxed and his heart beat faster, he took a step and was blocked
“Alex, here you are, we have been looking for you, Darius went to the Bahamas with…….“
“Kelvin, get off my face“
“Alex what’s wrong, you are looking for something “
“Get away from my face“
“Dude we can help, what is it“
“Nothing, just stand aside“
They were gone by the time he got to where they were standing, he turned around but the yard was barely crowded anymore, he walked speedily into the school turning his head curiously to every corner, leaving his friends confused and suspicious. Room by room, class by class he searched and finally found her being introduced to her classmates. He hid behind the door and listen “Vivian, her name is Vivian“
“Alex Mace I hope you have a good explanation for not being in class “
“Principal Albert, I am…………well….I was………“
“Get to class Alex, now“
“Yes Sir“
I have found you Vivian, you are closer to me now, and I will know who you are, what you are, why you were in the cellar struck and will get my thanks. For days his eyes followed her everywhere, He recorded her every moves in his mind and will day dream about her occasionally, He was fascinated by her and wanted to be near but did not want to scare her just yet. He had changed a lot and he does not think he was ready to push himself into her life. Alex heard his name being called far away, and a presence overshadowing him, his eyes opened and his hand went behind his waist.
“Young Boss, we are at the airport“
His driver announce to him, he slowly removed his hand from his back and turned to see the airport filled with people “Flight 164 is ready to dispatch to Britain“ announcements being made all over. He got off his Car, and walked to his family Plane, he turned and watched his country for one last time, his heart made a promise and his mind agreed “wait for me Vivian, I will be back“ his plane flew into the sky.
Mace Building
George was watching the airport from his office, his back to the door, he hope his son will be more of a man than he was and separate the wolf from the sheep, he thought since blood was thicker he could change them but a leopard will never change his spots. That is why he had him trained harder, brutal and deadly to shed his feelings away, to make him the ultimate weapon of a man. He will correct his mistakes now and leave a peace inheritance for him to rule over.
“Boss he is gone“
“Good, prepare everything, and call everyone we start when they get here“
“Yes Boss“
Woods Estate
“What do you mean you lost him, I told you to trail him and reports everything that Alex Mace does to me“
“Dad, he was suppose to meet us for Golf but he never showed“
“You idiot, you fucking idiot, do you know what you just did, that was our bargaining chip“
“Am sorry“
“Sorry, what will you saying sorry do in this situation, get your ass up and search this town for him, do not come to this house if you do not have Alex Mace with you“
“Yes“
A knock interrupted his thinking, he was angry, shaking and disappointed at his son for not taking anything serious in his life, how could he survive in this dog eat dog world
“Master Louis “
“WHAT“
“George just called his forces, they will be here at Port city in 2 days maximum“
“Damn you George, damn you, get everyone ready we are at war“
“Everyone Master“
“Do you know who George Mace is, call everyone to be here now, we have to be ready for him, and we will need all the help we can get to take him down, he is not leaving this Country alive, neither is his son, we will end the Mace bloodline and that is a fucking promise“
The town is quiet than usual that night. Shops, restaurants and night clubs are all shut down. The streets barren of any living or supernatural entity. The moon changed it color to red, lives will be taken this night, blood will be slipped and the future of the country will be decided. Even Anubis is on the edge as his hands will be full of souls to take to the underworld. Most billionaires and CEO’s have travel out of the country to hide, some with their families are in their safe rooms designed under their homes completely secured and well stocked , few are supporting the war with their money but too afraid to make themselves known. The two great families are at war and no one wants to be caught in the cross fire. “George do you think this is a good idea, innocent people lives will be at risk“ “There is no such thing as innocent in this world you of all people should know that, do not worry dear this has long been overdue, if we do not act , it will affect our next bloodline“ “The
Inside a Mercedes Benz in front of Motel Flamingo, a man was on the phone having a heated conversation. He ended the call and within a few minutes a woman got out from one of the rooms and approached the car in a hurry. She knocked and waited patiently to be invited in. The window glass was lowered. She heard a clicked sound before she opened the car and sat down, the window glass was sealed back up again. She turned to look at the man’s face but her eyes rested on her thigh. The tension she felt coming from him was suffocating making breathing very difficult for her to do.“Are you toying with me “he spoke slowly, anger laced in his tone, he was annoyed and pissed making him very frightening? “No Ray, I will not do that to you, we are grateful for everything you have done for us“ She replied with a slow and forgiving voice “Then why the wait“ “I just need more time to prepare her……..“ “To hell with you" Ray chuckled "Time, did you say time. I have been paying outrageous bills from
Ever since my parents died I have been lonely, people kept leaving me and I felt like a curse.My spirit kills everyone near me and I felt disgusted with myself. First my mother destroyed our perfect home with her evil deeds breaking my father’s heart. He could not take it and ended his life with her. He did not think about me at all, his love for her was so deep he went with her to the afterlife. Uncle Nicholas was the only one who cared like Grandma Lily but they fought because of me. Grandma Lily wanted to raise me and my curse made her sick, so sick she had to be let go to ease her pain and suffering. I was told her soul went to heaven but I know there is no such thing as paradise or God just endless darkness, the living world and the lifeless world, the only different is the monsters here in the land of the living smile with you and cut you deep into your heart. Uncle Nick took me in with Aunty Mica and it was fun, they took me out of school, we travelled out a lot and enjoy diffe

River of tears blasted out when the car door was shut, she was so pained by everything, she hope Aunty Mica would have a change of heart and call her back shoving that dirty money to the Man and choosing her over wealth but that was a dream, a stupid dream in her childish head, hope she was still holding on but she guessed this is her life now, “I hope you are happy now Mother, because of you this is how my life will be, a prostitute, I will sell myself to survive, you own blood how could you push me to this dark pit, how could you ruin my life mother, how could you destroy a loving home, how could you” she questioned her dead mother in her head as if she could hear her, blaming her for all her misfortunes but a spilled milk cannot be saved. She tried to wipe her tears with her hands and Jazz seeing this offered her a handkerchief “Here, use this” he offered “Thank you, will pay you back for this kindness“ “Do not worry about it, you can keep it” gifting her the handkerchief “No I
“What do you mean am sharing my room, who is she and why does she get to sleep in my room“ “Mr. Ray arranged it“ “What, why will he do that“ “What do you mean why and you of all people know we never question the Boss. Now go to your room peacefully and be the elegant beauty we know you to be“ Star stomped her feet and marched off into the yard. She was angered by this betrayal from Ray. She is his woman, well technically his woman because he calls on her more than any of the other ladies and that makes her the heart of the Company. She has his ear too so her authority in the House is higher than the rest. She makes Ray millions of cash on her every outing, bleeding herself dry to please Ray. But this disgrace will not be tolerated. She took out her phone and called him, it rings but no answer. She calls again and again and finally on the fourth time, he answered. “Yes” Ray answered clearly pissed “Am sorry to disturb you baby but I need you” Star made her voice so sweet and sad
Mica eyes opened. She turned around and beside her on the bed was Ray. His eyes were closed, his breathing stable. She stared at him and got lost in her thought. Her mind showed her images of a possible future, with her controlling Ray and being the Madam of the Business. A CEO now that is a position she can sink her teeth into. Her lips widened into a smile and her body vibrated from excitement. “Whatever you are thinking of, do not let it led you into doing something stupid “Ray warned with his hoarse voice. “You scared I will silt your throat “Mica joked and touched his neck pressing it firmly. Ray smirked, this woman is getting bolder and bolder with each passing day. “Being scared is not in my dictionary “. He got up naked walked to the bathroom, took his brush and after he was done. He stood infront of the mirror staring back at himself. His vision blurred, a memory pushed through his walls. Blood draining from her mouth, her eyes locked on him lifeless. His hand shaking so
