Se connecter“Yes, this is the place,” Calvin said to the taxi driver who took his hands off the straing wheel, accepting the money Calvin gave to him, and up until the time he collected the money, they maintained eye contact through the rearview mirror, but after a while, Calvin clicked his tongue, stepping down from the car. He waved to the man, pressing his lips together. “No, you can have it.” “Thanks,” the man muttered under his breath, driving off, and Calvin who had been staring at the car turned back, focusing on the building behind him. Calvin inhaled deeply as he got into the compound, moving his eyes from the tree to the car that was parked a few meters away from it.As Calvin walked further into the compound, he noticed that there was also an abandoned building close to the main building. The faint scent of acetone wafted through the air, transporting him back to his high school days. He remembered late nights spent in the chemistry lab since the man his mom was seeing after his fa
“Do you want me to pick something up for you?” Damon asked over the phone, staring at the shopping cart that was close to him.“No,” Elysia's voice came in, calm but firm. “There's no need to do that.”Damon sighed, turning to the cereal segment, and even when the cart was almost full it still felt like he had not gotten enough; no one needed to tell you before you know. “I'll just get more cereal then,” he whispered to her over the phone, struggling to stop himself from smiling as her voice cut through. “You don't have to stress it for real,” Elysia said to him, the sound of running water, blending with her angelic voice. “I plan on going to a grocery store on Saturday.” “Then I guess you don't need to do that again,’’ he placed two packs of different cereals into the cart, shrugging slightly. “Im ending the call now.” “Fine,” Elysia replied, pressing the red button before continuing what she was doing in the kitchen along with the rest of the maids who were also keeping an eye
“How long do you plan on staying there?” It was a female's voice over the phone, one that was coated with concern, and Alicia who was seated on the couch in the living room adjusted, pushing her cup towards the end of the center table that she drew closer to herself. Alicia seemed to be lost in thoughts, but it was for just a second, and she shook her head, biting her lower lips for a second. “I don't know,” she replied, scanning the place like she had just moved into the place recently. “But I don't think I'd be here in the next six months.” “I'm not too sure though,” she added, placing a hand into her jean pocket.A sigh could be heard on the other end of the phone, and what followed was the voice of the woman who had asked the question earlier on. “Give me a specific month,” she whispered on the other end of the phone, and clanging sounds followed, clashing with her tone. “I don't think it'd be fair enough to disappoint, that's just one of the reasons why I don't want to be sp
“Why are you looking so surprised?” Damon's voice could be heard in the office, and he took his eyes off the television, turning towards Jake whose brows were furrowed and he clasped both hands just beneath his jaw.It was the news about Orion, and after hearing what Damon said he turned away, shaking his head. “Don't tell me you were thinking he's going to disappear forever,” it was Damon once again, but this time he leaned forward, but his face was devoid of satisfaction, and without another word he rose to his feet, smoothing his hair as a soft exhale followed. Jake swallowed hard, shrugging slightly. “Actually, that's not what I was talking about, but then, yeah, I think you were right in a way.” “Do well to explain please,” the former replied to him almost immediately, inserting his hands into his pocket. “I never thought he was going to be the same after he comes back from wherever he went to hide,’’ the words tumbled out in a rush and you could almost hear the disgust in Ja
“It might be a stain sir,” one of the bodyguards whispered to Orion, shifting closer to him. “These are reporters, no one knows what they are capable of.” “Besides, when they see the opportunity to make up stories about people, I don't think they'd let it slide,” he added, pinching the bridge of his nose, and Orion who had been listening all along nodded, placing a hand above the shoulder of the man before he focused his eyes on the woman. “Mr. Belmont!” One of the male reporters stole Orion's attention walking forward a bit. “Please what can you say about your disappearance that lasted two days?!” Orion faked a smile, clasping both hands at his back and slowly, he turned away from the man, focusing his gaze on the woman who noticed already, and slowly, she took a step back, avoiding Orion's harsh gaze. The question kept coming in, but Orion turned deaf ears to each one of them, making his way into the crowd before he finally got to where the woman was, taking her by the wrist, an
Orion and Seraphina had quarreled a lot of times. A lot of times in the sense that if there was someone keeping count there was a very high chance that the person might have lost count, but then, they still went on to sleep in the same room, not until they had an intense argument the previous night, and Orion who was already angry left the room, using one of the vacant ones. He let out a sigh immediately he woke up, staring at the ceiling with a hand above his forehead, and barely three minutes after he woke up, the sound of his alarm filled the air, but in the blink of an eye he turned it off, letting out another sigh before he sat up. “Funny,’’ he let out a scoff after he unlocked his phone, coming across an animated photo of himself, Damon and Elysia together in a room. Although, you could tell that even in that photo, Elysia left him for Damon. Immediately he went to his WhatsApp, he saw thirty-three messages from Nessa, only for him to reply with an “ok” before he turned off h
