MasukAthena walked with grace into the room. Her hips swaying as she stood feet away from Barasa, watching him arrange his torture tools back into their case. She watched his every movement, eyes darting through his broad shoulders, his muscular back view.She stared down at his ass, and a knowing grin appeared on her face."All of this will be mine very soon," Athena spoke excitedly in her mind. She cleared her throat, starting up a conversation."I see you are busy, Frost," she said. Just like she predicted, no reply came from him. He just continued arranging his equipment. Athena's gaze never wavered from him.He closed the suitcase and inputted the passcode, locking it. As he turned to walk out of the torture house, Athena hurriedly placed her hand on his chest, stopping him from going out. She stared up at him, with a daring gaze like she was daring him to push her away. But he didn't even move. He didn't react. He only turned to her with a blank expression."I forgive you," she said,
"Don't be a bitch," the figure said, knocking the nurse out. The nurse's body slumped on the floor.The figure pulled her by her legs and dragged her into the emergency staircase, along with the other nurses. Without hesitation, the figure turned to the room and opened it with the fake key card.The door closed with a tug behind them as they stepped into the room. Without hesitation, they brought out their phone and started recording. Mr. Bannerman's eyes fluttered open as he heard the footsteps approaching."Nurse Olivia," he called, in a stutter."Nurse Olivia stepped out for a bit," the figure announced, coming into his view. Mr. Bannerman's eyes widened. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. Fear crept in, and he started peeing himself. The worst part, he couldn't even move, totally bed-ridden."Mi.ta..ri," he spoke, fear visible in his eyes.Mitari crouched down beside him on the bed, still holding the camera out to capture every moment."You should have died the f
BARASA MUD HOUSETari stirred awake and tried to sit up on the bed, but the pain that shot through her back sent her flying back onto the bed.“Fuck,” she cursed under her breath, ruffling her hair. She stared up at the ceiling before her gaze darted around her surroundings. She raised an eyebrow, seeing that she was in Barasa’s room and not the hospital.Just seconds later, the door opened, and Barasa walked in with a tray of fresh orange juice and beans. Tari’s eyes followed him until he dropped the tray on the nightstand, before sitting on the bed beside her. He stared back before raising his hand to her forehead, but she caught his arm before he could touch her.“What are you doing?” Tari questioned with a frown.“Release my hand. I want to feel your temperature,” Barasa ordered. Tari raised an eyebrow at him and stared at him for a little longer before she released his hand. He proceeded to drop his palm on her forehead to feel her temperature, while she stared at him with the s
"Turn around," Amir ordered. Helen turned without hesitation, biting her lower lip as she glanced at the floor. Amir's gaze lingered on her before he spoke."What are you doing here?" he questioned. Helen didn't answer immediately. She glanced from her feet to his feet before glancing up at him, praying at every god-given second that her phone wouldn't ring.With an exhale, she gathered the courage to stare up at him. Her eyes wandered round his face, but avoided his eyes."I came out for fresh air, the room felt suffocating," she admitted. Amir didn't budge. He still stared longer than intended."There is no air in this isolated area," Amir reminded her, his eyebrows twisting into a knot. Helen froze, eyes widened a bit before returning to normal, but Amir noticed it."I know," she answered."So, what are you doing here?" he questioned. "I couldn't just stay in one place, and just thought of walking around," Helen said, her words felt convincing with the innocence with which she said
INSIDE TARI'S HOUSEMaxwell and Stella sat on a couch, facing the one Malika was settled on. They couldn't even look at her face, and just kept staring around the luxurious house, anywhere but at her."I heard both of you were asked to drop the case, so what are you guys still doing here?" Malika questioned. Her voice did nothing but add to the pressure in the room, her eyes never leaving them.Stella bit her bottom lip, staring at the artwork on the wall, while Maxwell's gaze moved from the chandelier to the glass walls."Don't worry, I won't report you," Malika said. They turned to her almost immediately."At least, not yet," she added. Stella's mouth shut before she could open it to speak."You sound like you need us to do something for you," Maxwell said. Malika grinned."I do," she replied."What is it?" Stella asked, after a while.She brought out a file from her bag. "I want Mitari to sink along with that bastard Musa," Malika said, her voice suddenly turning cold, yet calm, wi
[Laboratory]Standing behind a wall, watching the scientists mass-produce the cure, was Barasa. His hands were in his pockets; his nose had been put back in its place, with his right shoulder wrapped in bandage from where he had sustained a cut.Derek and Butcher stood behind him, watching the scientists do their work."What if we don’t catch her?" Butcher suddenly questioned. Barasa didn’t flinch; his eyes stayed on the scientists carrying out their work.Derek turned to Butcher with a frown."The walls have ears, Butcher," Derek reminded."I know," Butcher said. "Just, what if? It’s been over twenty years already; she just pops out of the blue to torment Frost and disappear anytime she feels like it," Butcher said. Derek sighed and tilted his head to the side, stealing a glance at Barasa."Very soon," Derek replied.Silence fell, with them just watching the scientists carry out their job."She came to stay this time. Tari is in Veinhill, just like she wanted," Barasa spoke after a w
