Treacherous Journey Novels & Stories

With a nod from Shane, they set off toward the north, their steps purposeful and determined. The journey was long and arduous, filled with treacherous terrain and unpredictable weather. They traveled silently, their senses sharp and alert for any sign of danger. Along the way, they encountered wild creatures and rogue scouts, dispatching them swiftly and quietly to avoid drawing attention.

Zane puts up a meh face as he knows he's the one who protected Roùx. "Apologies, Princess Roùx has been rude towards you hero," the captain said and bowed in respect along with his men.

It pleased her greatly that her grand daughter was going to meet her father finally, and that her daughter had finally gathered the courage to tell her about the mysterious man but, she had a few questions of her own.

She looks at him sincerely and replied, "because we're not supposed to meet in the first place and you know that but you still choose to trespass in a restricted area; here we are breaking the heart of each other till we both ended up badly wounded." His heart is like tearing into pieces after hearing what she said, it seems like her words are like a dagger that keeps stabbing his heart. He bows his head to hide his dispirited looks and forcedly smile and faces her, "nothing... I-- I- I'm just thirsty." He saw a bottle of water that she's been holding for so long, he stole it from her to tease her. Glenda wants to give up the bottle of water not until she glimpses a figure of a man jogs near

Finding a bus wasn't a problem for them as many buses were moving up and down the road. They got onto a bus where many people were. They didn't want to make the same mistake that Tina made by getting onto a bus with human traffickers. They sat at the far back, beside a middle aged woman who was carrying a tray of vegetables. Chinyere was seated in between Tina and the woman. Chinyere kept the bag under the seat and turned to the woman. "Good morning, ma," Chinyere greeted the woman. "Good morning," the woman smiled.

He closed the door behind him and sat in the armchair across from Adam, no beating around the bush. “Everything’s ready for the trip. Besides me, I’m taking two trusted men. I don’t think we’ll need more than that. We’ve never had problems with Morales, and I don’t think it’ll start now,” Caio explained, straight to the point. Adam nodded slowly, still pulling himself together. “You’re right. But don’t forget the suspicions we have.
