Chapter 7
Sofia Xanders ~
After I came out of the portal, I found myself lost. One thing was sure and that was the fact that I am in a land that I’ve never been to before. Everything was so strange-looking. I held the child in my arms walking aimlessly down the roads.
“Hello! Excuse me? Are you lost?” a lady asked seeing Sofia and the young infant in her arms walking aimlessly about the city dressed awkwardly.
“Ye… Yes… I … Am.” Sofia replied walking to meet the lady.
“I guess you’re really new around here. Aren’t you? Just got off the plane right?” the lady alleged noticing the clothing put on by Sofia.
“Where is ‘here’ exactly?” Sofia asked turning around to the world filled with technology all around her.
“This is New York City, of course.” “You look confused and like you could need somewhere to lay your head. Mind s
Chapter 8Sofia Xanders ~“A burden?” Grace alleged giving out a little titter. “The fact that you are really new around here doesn’t mean that you’ll be a burden to anyone who dims it fit to assist you to get back on your feet.” “I can help you get a job here and your own apartment. That is if you want me to?” she said making the car turn.“A job? What’s a job?” I asked totally oblivious of what the term was.“You’re joking right?” she replied giving out another chuckle. “I don’t know if you have another meaning of the word ‘job’ where you come from but here, that’s how mostly everyone makes some money to cater for their needs.” she added.Until now, I had no idea that both the world that I came from and this world were completely different. I expected a few variances but come on, a job? I don’t remember having one of those
Chapter 9Frederick Claw ~“Your Majesty!” “What brings you to the eastern coven at a time like this? By your looks and hers I can tell that whatever it is, it’s worse than we heard.” said Liam, the head guardian and overseer of the eastern vampyre coven where Morgana had used her magic to transport us both to.“No doubt! There’s a war coming and even now, I have no idea of who and what we are up against but for one thing, it’s something that I have never imagined and it’s coming, sooner than later.” I said releasing my blood-filled sword from the grip of my hands as it fell hopelessly to the marble ground.“The Royal coven has been infiltrated and I have little hope that there were any survivors.” “We have to warn everyone…. Every creature in this world of the impending danger heading our way and theirs.” I added walking up to meet Liam.“I don’t
Samantha Downs ~Barely three months ago, I graduated from college having studied Clothing and Textile Economics. Since I'll be gone for a probably long while, today is going to be the last day I’ll be spending with my mom and dad before, for a very long time, I’ll return.Who says you can’t have more than one dream in life? Not me.I have two, at least two main ones. The first, to be a successful fashion designer and the other, to be a body model for various high-class companies in the world. Two dreams that can offer me the spotlight.If I’m as beautiful as my fiancee, Francis says I am, and I agree with him, then the second shouldn’t be much of a stress on the part where I get it.Right now, I have little or no capital to get me the first on a golden platter. No ‘silver-spoon’ parents and no ‘super rich’ relative to look up on. It’s just me so I’ll have t
Samantha Downs ~“What do you want from me? Can’t you just let me go?” I said trying to hold back tears.This guy is a Mafia Lord? That explains everything. The henchmen, the guns, the whole kidnapping me and my parents, the luxurious mansion and the devious look in his eyes everytime mine meet his. Everything but why he needs me. Every second I spend with him makes me feel worse than the last. What if he intends to hurt me?I’ve never encountered one before but I've heard dreadful stories about them. They don’t really keep good reputations. I never intended to meet one and certainly not make a deal with one but what choice do I have? He definitely isn’t bluffing about killing my parents.“Sam, can I call you Sam? I’ll call you Sam. What I want is really simple. A deal!”“What deal??” I know this isn’t going to end well considering the fact that I am about to strike a deal with
Samantha Downs ~“Three months, Sam. Three months.” with his American accent putting emphasis on every word.”“... You are free to stay and have dinner with me though.” Jaden offfered and from where I stood, I could feel his breath on my neck.He is right behind me.Jaden walked to the door and the men there gave way for him. He opened the door eyes glued on Sam but she didn’t look at him.She just walked out.“You,” Jaden called out pointing to one of the duo. “Get her back home and give her a three-hundred thousand dollar cheque. Tell her it’s for her wardrobe change. And bag her up too. Until I can trust her, I can't risk having her know her way here.”“Yes, boss.” The man left to get to Sam and he led her back to the SUV.Sam didn’t resist this time. Not that she did trust them but she wasn’t going to knowing that would jus

Samantha Downs ~ Thankfully, I am the only one who needs to make use of the elevator on this floor. I got in. On the controls were numbers one to ten. I pushed the number ten button and in a few seconds, the elevator began ascending. To be honest with myself, this is my first appearance in this company. I never really had anything to do with KressCo. until now. I must admit it. This company’s taste for architecture can be compared to none I’ve seen. The structure of the building that I had seen in those files and what I’m now seeing, confirms it without a doubt. The cool conditioned air and alluring scents filled my surroundings. It’s enchanting. At the number ten, the elevator stopped and opened up. I walked out. I am appalled to see all the things before me. This office deserves a ‘wow’. I took off my shades and put them into my bag. A section of the floor is reserved for waiting with a row of chairs. Most of the walls I see happens to be made of solid glas
