SIX YEARS AGO Alessa and other students in red uniforms marched down the hallway heading to the gate of the arena. It was time for their task. The rest of the students were in the arena already, waiting to watch them. Aliyah held Alessa’s hand firmly, she kept using her thumb to crease her hand. Trying to calm and assure her that everything would be fine. As they got to the gate, they met the students dressed in black uniforms. The final students. They had knives of the same size in their hands and they started to hand them out to them. Alessa was given her own and she stared at it with her heart pounding. “It's okay, no matter what your task is, I will help you with it. Okay?” Aliyah assured her and she managed to nod. She wondered what the knife was for. Her heart raced faster as the gates opened. Aliyah let go of her hand but nodded at her. They all marched into the arena and the students cheered as they saw them. Alessa looked around the arena, and there were over a thou
“Where the fuck is my daughter?” she yelled at him. Everyone turned to look at them.“What? What the fuck are you talking about?” Brook asked, struggling with her. He tried to get up but surprisingly, Alessa's grip was so strong. She pinned him firmly to the ground. “Where is she?” Alessa snapped at him. She was about to hit him again when Bryan held her hand and pulled her away from him. “Get the fuck off me.” she snapped and pulled away from him. The guards helped Brook up as he massaged his jaw.“Fucking bitch.” he cursed and glared at her. “Where is my daughter?” Alessa asked again.“What the hell do I want with your daughter? Why the hell do you think I know where your daughter is?” Brook yelled back at her. Alessa was about to yell back at him when Thane stood behind her.“Maintain,” he whispered in her ear. Alessa breathed heavily and clenched her fist. She dug her nails into her skin so hard that she was hurting herself. She tried her best to stay calm despite having
Alessa walked into the conference room with the manager. As she walked in, all eyes turned to her. Brook was present this time and he was seated two seats away from Bryan. Alessa wasn't so sure about now but Bryan and his brother never got along. They were always competing and trying to please their father so they would inherit the Harts Empire. “Ms. Kendall, welcome.” one of the board members said and she nodded at him. Alessa took a seat reserved for her. “We don't accept lateness in this company.” Brook suddenly said as they were all settled.“Then you should return my billions,” Alessa replied. Brook was shunned by her reply. Tyler chuckled a little which made Brook glare hard at him. “Ms. Kendall.” one of the board members called and stood up.“This is the progress so far on the Aurora project,” he said and Alessa nodded at him, urging him to go on. “We believe this project could change humanity in the most positive way, we have… “Aria and Aiden laughed as they ran aroun
“Aiden, have you ever wondered why we are weird?” Aria asked as she stared at Aiden who was seated in front of her with his legs folded. The maids all looked terrified and worried because they weren't supposed to be sitting on the dining table and having breakfast. Aria’s legs were folded too and they had a bowl of cereal in their presence. They preferred to eat it without milk. “Yeah. I have always thought of that.” Aiden replied, nodding his head as he put a handful of cereal in his mouth.“But we are rich, that makes it better right?” Aria asked.“Yes, that is the best thing. Our Mum is a billionaire, and we have a rich accent too. What more could we ask for?” Aiden chuckled. Alessa suddenly walked into the dining room and paused seeing her kids having their breakfast on the table.“Oh, hey Mummy.” Aria giggled and waved her tiny free hand at her as she licked her other fingers. “Ma’am, we asked them to get off the table but they wouldn't listen. They decided to sit on it and
Alessa walked into the house with her kids. She made sure she was discharged from the hospital, she hates hospitals so much. Due to how exhausted her kids were, they fell asleep as soon as they got in bed. Alessa made sure they were okay before heading to her room. Immediately she got in, she pulled out her phone and dialed a number. The receiver picked up after a few rings. “What the fuck, man? What the hell is wrong with you?” Alessa asked immediately after he picked up the call.“What a way to answer a phone call.” “I did your fucking job, Diablo. I did everything.” Alessa said angrily. “I know, I saw and heard. Good job,” he replied.“So why the fuck did you attack me?” she asked angrily, trying so hard not to raise her voice.“What the hell are you talking about?” Diablo asked, confused.Alessa furrowed her brows. He knows nothing about it?“You were attacked?” Diablo asked.Alessa sighed and sat on her bed. She slowly ran her hand through her hair.“At the fucking second b
Alessa heard distant voices in her sleep. Slowly, it started to get louder and closer then she realized it was her kids. She could feel their tiny hands all over her.“When is she going to wake up?” Aria asked as she ran her hands on her face.“I don't know, should we wake her up?” Aiden asked as he moved his face closer to hers.“Don't wake her up. The doctor might get mad.” Aria said and tried to push Aiden off but he wouldn't move. They were both in her bed in the hospital. “I feel like she is pretending. I know she is awake, I know Mum so well. Nothing hurts her.” Aiden said as he ran his hand on her forehead.“You don't know anything.” Aria scoffed.“Really? Watch this. I am going to do a magic trick and wake her up.” he said confidently and cleared his throat. “Alessa,” he called dramatically. “What?” Alessa replied and opened her eyes sharply which caused both of them to flinch and scream in fear.“That was not cool.” Aiden raised his voice and she chuckled.“And it wasn't
