As Elaine sat in the empty room alone she could feel the air was getting thinner and she was unable to breathe. Staring at the vents, she could see a white smoke coming through the vents.Soon the room was consumed by the white smoke and she could no longer hold her breath, accidentally breathing in the air, she could feel her throat burning, her eyes were extremely teary and she was slipping out of consciousness.“Was this how she was going to die?”“Would Richard be able to save her when he had only five minutes to get to her” she was getting more scared as the minutes ran out.There was no sign of anyone around to save her, she fiddled with ropes on her hand but they were too tight for her to untie them, she could barely move because the chair was stuck to the ground.“Help me” she tried to scream but it was just muffled sounds, barely audible to reach the door, for a room which had no windows, she knew that in no time she would be dead. The poisonous gas that filled the room was n

After three days of peace living with Ethan as a married couple, Ethan claimed to have made dinner plans for them so Cassandra got ready.She wore a green dress and a black heel then let her hair fall to her waist.“You look extremely beautiful” Ethan commented when she stepped out of the house.He was dressed in a brown suit fiddling with his phone when he heard the door lock, he quickly stuffed his phone in his pocket when he saw her looking all beautiful.A smirk drew on his face and he couldn’t help but compliment her look.“Get in, we are going to be late” he ordered getting in the car when he noticed she was still standing there.He stepped out a bit,“Aren’t you going to get in?” He asked.“Aren’t you going to open the door for me?” She asked. His eyes opened and then he let out a little laugh.“Sure, anything for you” he said and walked up to her. Once she was in the car, he slammed the door so hard that she was almost frightened.“Open the door for you, what do you think you

A few hours before reaching a day that Elaine left with Mystro, Richard had not been able to get his mind of the fact that she was with him. She was lodging in his own house and he felt so uneasy about it that he couldn't sleep.It was 8:00pm in the night and Richard stood in front of the clock counting every second that passed. It was as if a century was passing along with the second hand of the clock.Every minute was killing him inside knowing that Elaine saw him as a monster and no longer as the husband she had thought him to be. For so many years he had hidden the truth from her because he knew that she would not be able to handle it.The day he had dreaded the most had finally come.He wished he hadn't told her the truth, he wished he had kept her by his side without letting go. Now she was in the hands of his enemy and he was not able to go to her.His heart ached and he needed to go to her.He sat back on the couch sighing about it over and over and over again. Opening his pho

Richard successfully sneaked out of Mystro’s mansion without being seen and made his way to the car parked a distance away from the mansion but close enough for him to walk 20 feet from the black gate to get to the car.He sat in the car staring at the window of Elaine’s room, the light bulb in the room was still on even after he left and he tried to guess what she was doing.Was she thinking of him?, was she trying to understand him and how his life had gotten to that point?. Was she going to accept him the way he was?.Richard had anticipated so many responses from Elaine after he told her the whole truth but he didn't think that she would kick him out immediately. He understood that it was his fault for hiding those things from her, he had expected her to scold him, to fight him, anything than to kick him out leaving him in the dark thinking of what she would do next.Elaine was unpredictable and half the time, he had no idea what was going on in her head.Sitting for a while still

“I have cancer and nine months to live” Elaine’s words resonated in Mystro’s head.He couldn't think for a minute after she said it, suddenly the air in the car began grew thicker and he was unable to breathe. Droplets of sweat began to drip from his head.“Mystro” she tried to snap him out of the shock but he was too invested in it.The next thing he did was step out of the car to get some air, Mystro felt like a grip was on his neck choking him and he had to breathe out all the air that was in his lungs.After a little while of trying to relax, he still doubted her words and returned to the car. This time he left the door open as she sat down.“Tell me you are joking?” he asked hoping she was playing a prank on him.“No, I am telling you the truth. I have cancer. I was diagnosed of stage four cancer at the beginning of the year” she confessed and there was so much silence in the car that all they could hear was the sound of cars driving and children playing in the park.Mystri blin
