“Perhaps his vitality could serve better purposes here?”, She repeated, “You’ve got some nerve, old man”. She spat, her voice steady but laced with disgust. She stared at the vitaecer, the ropes creaking above him as he hung by his feet, his body swaying slightly from the motion. The vitaecer rasped, hanging from the ceiling by a rope tied to his feet. A pool of green, bubbling acid sat beneath him, threatening to disintegrate his body the moment he touched it. The heat from the acidic pool scorched the air, making the vitaecer sweat profusely as it dripped down his furrowed brow.

Since going back to sleep was out of the question, she started scrolling through her notifications, hoping to at least pass the time. Her I*******m feed was the usual mix of posts from friends, influencers, and random pages she followed. She stopped at a picture of her high s cute girl named Chloe, on vacation. The girl was posing in front of a waterfall, her caption reading: *Woke up to this view! Can’t complain!* "Must be nice," Sophia muttered, double-tapping the photo before continuing to scroll. A few posts down, she saw a picture of Katrina—the last person she wanted to think about this early in the morning. The girl had uploaded a selfie with a few of her friends, captioned: *Some of

That night, Natalie sat on the balcony of her penthouse, watching the stars return to a sky once clouded by doubt. Lila joined her with two glasses of wine. "You know," Lila said, handing her a glass, "I always believed you’d come back. But I never expected this." "Neither did I," Natalie admitted. "But maybe sometimes we have to be burned down to remember what we’re made of." Lila raised her glass. "To rising from the ashes."

their mother, Elizabeth said. She doesn't have any ideas about what did just happened, she only remembered what the evil told them about and that made her uneasy. Talon gave her a hand to stand up uttering, “We made it!” She then realized that the dream is the final exam and the only way to succeed is to wake up. “Congratulations to the both of you, your mother and I are so proud that you made it to success,” their father, Valor said while wrapping the twins with his long masculine arms.

Imman got up from the bed, took his phone, and ordered food from a restaurant. Ella, on the other hand, put her clothes on while looking at the naked body of her lover who has been walking in the room while talking to someone on his phone. When he saw Ella looking at him, he smiled at her. She smiled back at him, got up, and embraced him tightly.

Kayla swallowed painfully at the tone he used to talk to her and the murderous look he gave her. "You're talking as if you are a better individual when you're nothing but a goal digger. There's more to life than trying to associate yourself with someone like me. There's more to life than fake ass, fake boobs, ridiculous makeup and kinky sex.
