Alexander rushed through the white hall, knocking into one or two nurses as he did, but he didn't seem to notice. His eyes were forward and focused on his destination. The guard who followed behind, though supposed to keep a reasonable distance, was now unable to catch up with him, as he was approximately flying. “Oh, my god!” an elderly lady who looked like a ward cleaner screamed as Alexander's sprinting startled her, making her run into her own waste trolley. He just dashed past her and ran to a door. He turned the handle, but it did not budge. He tried again while trying to hit it with his shoulder, trying to break it down. “The fuck?” He yelled and moved to the large transparent window. "Hey, get your filthy hands off him” he banged on the window and screamed at the men in white coats who stood around his dad's bed. “If I get through this door, I promise I'll have your heads." He went back to the door and tried again, hopelessly. “I'm warning you,” he raged, banging mor

The organ music swelled, as the procession began, led by a bishop, followed by Alexander's uncle's both the one she'd met at Alexander's hand over party and the old frail one who had escorted Maren to the altar on their wedding day. Behind them was Alexander and then Maren, who now had on shades again staring at the ground trying to avoid an unwanted angle from showing on the cameras of the press. The following behind was a sea of guests of notable figures from various fields who bothered to join in the procession into the church. The air was thick with emotion as they got to the altar and began dispersing to their various seats. On the other hand, Maren decided not to overthink it and simply walked over to where Nella was seated, making herself comfortable. It was when she had sat that she realised how packed to capacity the cathedral was with dignitaries, celebrities, and ordinary citizens all gathered to pay their respects. When all had settled in their places, the bis

His shoes made soft but heard sounds on the marble floor as he got out of the elevator. With his phone in one hand and a suitcase in another, he strode towards a large black door almost at the end of the hallway. He got to the door, then paused. Slowly putting away his phone. At the same speed, he stepped away from the brown foot mat in front of his door and took a look at it. His brows furrowed as the rug has slightly turned to the left. With carefulness, he turned it to its right position. Slowly and quietly, he pocketed his phone. His hands slowly reached underneath his long leather coat where his trusty Beretta was holstered. He pushed a button on the side of the large door and it began to open at a steady pace. Sure enough, someone was or had been in his office, as he was sure he'd put off all the lights in the office. Especially the one at the corner where his shelf of special documents was kept. His grip on the gun tightened as soon as the door opened wide enough for hi

Alexander's eyes were now wide and red in fury. Veins appeared on the sides of his neck and forehead with his fists clenched beneath him. “So what you're saying is—” “I knew he was in pain. And I instructed it. How do you think he became like that in the first place?" Kendrick placed his elbow on the table, interlocked his fingers, and placed them under his jaw. His eyes sparked with interest. “Wow, I really did underestimate you. Please tell me more." “Apart from mom's part, I knew about everything. I observed it too, Kendrick, and chose to keep quiet to see what I could get from him. I won't deny I really thought I could gain a lot from him, but you were right. He was a pain in the ass” "god, that man was a monster. His health was failing quite alright, but I wanted to make sure he never came out of it easy and alive. I spoke with his doctor, our family doctor, and reluctantly helped me” “I vowed he would suffer Kendrick." He suddenly shit his eyes and caressed his t

A small part of the head popped out first, then the entire head before Maren's eyes rested on the face. A shiver ran down her spine and she could feel her heart skip a beat as they both stared at each other. “Hi" the male voice rang, tearing through her ear and drawing her slowly out of her shocked state. “Hi?" she managed to say, but it came out more like a whisper. She just could get her eyes off him as she watched the part of his hair which was still in the water float around. “Did I scare you? You look like you just watched a clip about how you'd die." His voice was calm. ‘I wish!’ her head screamed. Finally, she blinked away her thoughts and looked away from him. “Yeah, a little. I didn't expect anyone to be here." She could now hear her heartbeat in her ears. “Well, I didn't expect anyone to be here at all," he said and Maren now realised and wondered how he was bent so that only his head was visible even as she tried to see the rest of his body in the clear water. “I’m s
