Sullivan's Offer
"Natasha, I will hunt you. And when I find you, I will kill you." Those words were the last thing Audrey said to Natasha that evening before leaving the cabin with Gabriel. Gabriel Lynch was an orphan and at such, his funeral were attended by colleagues and friends. Audrey was the last person to leave his tomb. After leaving a dahlia flower, she mumbled incoherent words before leaving. As soon as she turned, she saw Sullivan standing behind her. Months ago, Sullivan was said to have run out of Hiltonia. They had no idea why but didn't care since he was none of their business. Like she had always done, she intended to walk past him when she heard him say, "I have something to tell you." "I'm not interested in whatever you have to say. Now, move aside." Audrey scoffed instead and pushed him out of the way. "It's about the person you think is dead." The man said after a moment of hesitation.Audrey stopped but didn't look back at him. "Let's talk in the café beside the burial grou

Audrey's Weird Temperament
One Year LaterIn a farm land, Queenie squats a little as she weeds out unwanted plants which seemed to be choking the crops. She gets interrupted when Gerald walks into the farm and gasps. "You've been gone for hours and I've searched the entire village for you. Who knew you'd be here… wedding out plants, so unbelievable!" Queenie chuckled and straightened up. "I had the usual memory burst that I've been having for a year. However, it was different this time." Gerald raised a brow as he walked to her. "What was the improvement?" "I kept hearing the name Jessica. Everything else was blurry." Queenie said with a sigh, "The excruciating pain that came with it didn't let me return back to sleep." "And you thought the best thing was to come out to weed?" Gerald scoffed. "Since I had nothing else to do, I reckoned doing it would make me relaxed. It did though." She chuckled and proceeded to squat back again when the man held her back. "You can always pay a visit to the beach. The s

Why Do You Look Familiar, Mr. Devon?
Audrey drove back to the city and straight to Pierce's house. She was greeted by three adorable children who sighted her right from the gate. The three children of Queenie took their first steps at the age of one. How that an addition of six months had been added to them, they're legs had undoubtedly become a little firm to walk freely. "Aster!" The girl was the first she took into her arms before bending to cuddle with the boys, Aaron and Adrian. "How have my babies been?" She said, as she touched their heads. "Adjrain yiyi mished you!" Adrian, the shy one said with great difficulty. "Auntie missed you too, darling. Guess what Auntie also brought with her?" She asked with a smile, jerking her eyes around the two including Aster who couldn't help giggling in her arms. "Shweets!" It was a word they had all mastered. And as a result, they replied together. Dipping her hand into the bag she walked in with, she gave them each a candy, then handed the rest of the back to the three

You Almost Died!
Neo frowned heavily. "What do you mean, Ms. Knight? You didn't come all the way here to accuse me of something I have no idea of, did you?" Natasha scoffed and walked forward. She swirled the glass of cup in her hand for a while before she say, "Are you saying you're not Gabriel Lynch?" "How many times do I have to tell you! I don't know him!" The man yelled furiously. However, the next moment, a slow smile crept onto her face. It was a sweet and at the same time, scary one. "Let me go before the Devons realize that I am missing and comes for me! Don't forget that you're on the run from your familiar and the many enemies you've made." The man threatened, trying to break free from Natasha's men who held him down. "Without my family, I can easily overthrow the Devons. What gives you the audacity to think your little family scares me?" The lady scoffed and emptied her glass on him. "For one year, Audrey has thought you were dead. And as a result, I've lost countless people who, if

Learning Of Queenie's Survival
In a suburbVarious men placed stickers of Queenie Knight literally on every surface and tagged her as missing. A man walks up to it and pulls out the ones he can. After reading the caption, he squeezes them and dumps inside the wastebin next to him. Then he whips out his phone and makes a call. "They've found out she's alive." The person on the other end gives him an instruction which he nods furiously to and walked away. He got into his car and drove to a cabin. Inside, was a reasonable number of people. Without a word, he walks to their middle and stands. "Stop the news of Queenie Knight being alive. If you see anyone still hanging on her pictures, kill him." The group hummed in response and he walked out again. ..."Just today I lost three men." Pierce frowned as he examined them. Half an hour ago, he had gotten a package and it was mandatory that he signed before it'd be given to him. Then three body packs were thrown to him and the delivery men opted to drive back when

Heading To Country A As Salto's Worker
"You're supposed to be happy you know?" Gerald muttered as he helped Queenie load her things on a truck. Queenie stood meters away from him and stared at him like a ghost. Then she asked, "I don't even know what is happening."Gerald chuckled and walked towards her. "The thing is, your crops were good and those things you made as complimentary gifts suited their tastes. They loved it. But in order not to appear too demanding, they bought your things at the price I have them and extended a contract for you to help them make the complimentary you gave them." "Oh." Queenie muttered and said nothing else. After she found herself on the ground, she suddenly heard the traders from the city congratulating her. Although she was confused, she waited for them to be gone before she inquired what the matter was from Gerald. The man had tried to explain a thousand and one times what was going on but each time, her mind would zone out and she'd find herself reminiscing on the voices she heard

Queenie In Country A
Pierce said nothing for a while and the man on the other end scoffed. "Is this your way of keeping me busy while you search for Queenie?" Salto wasn't planning on hiding what he knew. Pierce on the other hand wasn't surprised, but he was indeed anxious. Since Salto had realized it was only a matter of time before the news got to Natasha. "Let me make something clear to you." Salto said seriously. "Even if we stay on this call the entire time, your men will never be able to get their hands on her. The Conglomerate doesn't have a branch here sadly and you guys are are little far from them. You're left with no choice than to await the real body of the woman you buried last year." Pierce balled his hands into a fist but said nothing. Aster, who was on his lap, blinked cutely at him and he could feel his anger leaving him. He touched his daughter's face with a smile before speaking into his phone's speaker. "Since you already know why I'm falling, I don't think there's any reason for

Jacobs Knight On His Deathbed
When the call connected, Salto asked smugly, "Guess who has your wife?" Instead of calling Natasha, he decided to call Pierce and taunt him with the fact Queenie was now in his hands. In as much as he didn't want to admit, he had always felt like Pierce was his superior. While he had to strive to make certain things come through, Pierce's subordinates were the one who did it whenever they wished to have a good standing with Pierce. And the fact that Pierce was a good business. Something he, Salto, didn't know. "Then I must implore you to take good care of her and restrain from informing Natasha until I arrive to pick her up." The man's lazy voice floated from the other end. Salto took the phone off his ears and glanced at the number again. When he confirmed it belonged to Pierce, he had a confused look. Why wasn't Pierce anxious?He chose to tell himself that the man was only masking his worry. "You know, you don't have to act like you don't care when you actually care. However

Misunderstanding At Work
Country AThe work was much easier than they thought. While Queenie kept to herself, Gerald, Maron and Vivian already acquainted themselves with a few people. "Your sister?" A man asked Vivian. Vivian followed his eyes. When she saw he was referring to Queenie, he shook his head almost immediately. "She isn't." The man nodded absentmindedly. Finally, he braced himself and walked to her. "Hello." Queenie looked up briskly and lowered her eyes once again. She looked up again moments later and smiled a little. "Are you talking to me?" The man nodded immediately. "Yes, I'm Joshua Garet." Queenie nodded and lowered her head. "I'm Queenie." The man smiled, "Can I help you?" Queenie was currently canning tomato paste. So when the man asked to help, she nodded. As they worked, the man brought up different topics. Yet, Queenie was uninterested. Finally, he brought up the topic about branded bags but still couldn't catch her attention. He was getting frustrated when Gerald walked

Truth About Natasha
As soon as she left, his phone rang and he took it out to answer. When he saw the caller, he hesitated before answering it. "I've been trying to reach you. Where are you?" He asked. Natasha chuckled from the other end. "I've been busy taking care of my father and brothers. How is Country A?" Salto was slightly surprised. After their discussion in Hiltonia, they hadn't really been at peace with each other. She had even refrained from calling him. "Everywhere's is fine." Then he thought it was nice to add, "I got new employees. Extremely good at their jobs." "Oh, that's good." She replied not suspecting a thing. After all, he had no reason to lie to her. "I might be stopping in Country A soon. Then I will leave from there." The man widened his eyes but tried not to sound too shocked. "Where are you going?" "I wish to stay undercover for a while." Natasha retorted. The man had nothing else to say, so he just nodded. "Let's talk better when you come to Country A." "Sure." …I
