Just when he thought he had it all, Mark was hanging on a thin thread, he's made his promise, and claims to be a man of his word and yet... This woman seems to be threatening his happiness just when he thought he had it. Without much thought to it, Mark grinds his teeth and angrily makes a call. "Yes boss," the man from earlier responds much to Mark's detest despite being the one who called. "That woman, where did you find her from?" He asks. There's a moment of silence, followed by whispers as he hears his subordinates whisper in confusion amongst themselves. "Can someone answer me!" He yells. "Um, sir, you see she was referred to us by the weapon dealer you've been frequent with, you were the one who asked us to reach out to him for a hand," they respond. Mark turns red with anger as he roars, "Make sure that women never set foot in the hideout, or I will have your head!"With his words he hangs up, trying his best to remain calm while chanting to himself. "I'll kill that wo

Opal stuffs her cold fingers into her jacket pockets, cursing to herself at the fact that she forgot her gloves. To her credit, she didn't know that the weather would get this cold this early in the morning. The forecast had only reported clear skies as far as the eye can see.She keeps on walking, heading for a private car pack to get her car back.Opal still couldn't believe Mark let her go just like that.As if on cue, she feels the hair in the back of her head stand on end, the feeling that she was being watched buzzing through her nerves.Her steps stutter a bit when she realizes this but she keeps on moving as if she didn't notice anything.She increases her pace, hoping that whoever the watcher was, they would stop after they get bored.The woman surreptitiously glances from the corner of her eyes, trying to get a glimpse of her new stalkers.Opal hopes that the people watching her would just stick to observing. But after a few minutes and several twisting alleyways later the

“Good morning,” with a peck from Mark, Leia felt goosebumps as he made his way to the sofa.She couldn’t help but notice the way he beamed happily and energized as he stared at her, to the point where it felt as if the sun was a bit too bright in the living room. “You seem to be in an awful lot of good mood, it’s starting to make me sick, and I mean very sick seeing you so happy,” Leia tells him with a creeped-out look on her face, but it bounced back by Mark’s happy smile. “Well, I know you don’t mean it,” Mark responds much to her distaste and averts her eyes back to watching the Tv while she munches on some snacks. With a chuckle, Mark stood up from his couch and carried himself to Leia’s side, resting his head upon her shoulders comfortably. Refusing to spare him a glance, Leia continues with her movie, “Don’t be so confident about that. I won’t be here unless you didn’t make my life a living hell.”“If you say so my dear,” he whispers, his eyes closed as if he wanted to drift

No!His shout reverberates around the intersection.The boy stops at the side where the hand is sticking out. He feels trepidation but tries to brace himself but nothing could have prepared him for the sight of his parent's Bodies.His eyes find his mother first.Agatha looks like she had taken a bludger to the head, With messed up hair and blood trickling down her scalp. She leans against the window at an uncomfortable angle and from the cracks and fissures in the glass she must have hit her head there."M-mom." He chokes out with a heavy voice. But the woman does not reply. She doesn't do anything. She just keeps on Laying there in her bloody dress and glass-littered chair.A small part of him thinks that she's not breathing.Mark immediately turns his attention to his father then, trying to push down that thought and nearly sobs out when his eyes meet the slumped visage of his father.The man's grey-flecked head is on the steering wheel with blood dripping from a cut on his temples

"We need to talk, and please don't lie to me," he says the moment he walks into his uncle's room without knocking. His uncle perplexed by the sudden occurrence stares at him like he's seen a ghost. Seeing how his nephew just barged in, he could only understand that it was nothing less than something of great urgency, and that troubles him greatly. However he could not show it, so with a smile and laughter to cover up his nervousness, he stands up from his seat and walks calmly to his angry-looking nephew and rubs his back. "Of course Mark, I would never lie to you," he says beaming with a fake smile which Mark could see through. "Who did my father leave his property to?" Mark suddenly questions to his shock. Sure he was expecting to be approached but he didn't think his timid, lively nephew could get serious this soon. "Oh Mark, I knew you'd be unhappy, that's why I decided to take you under my wings. Once you're older I'll send everything back to you, I have no intention of st
