ALEX'S POV;I looked out through the window and took a deep breath of relief when Saraya drove into the compound."You can ease your worry, " Mary's voice interrupted my thoughts, her hand patting my back. "Now that she is back.""I don't think I can ease my worries, Mary" I snapped before realizing and could see the shock on Mary's face. Seeing how I must have scared her. "I'm sorry, I yelled at you. It wasn't my intention. It just feels like a storm I'm not prepared for is fast approaching. Mother is acting weird and had not been the same since Saraya was announced as the new CEO." I sighed."While I pretend it's nothing, it's eating my heart terribly and Saraya?" I asked. "She's been withdrawing and crawling back to her shell. With my mother and daughter this way, I can barely catch my breath in this house."Mary sighed. "I understand how you feel, I will try talking to Saraya." She suggested.I shook my head. "No, I will do it." I replied. "She is the CEO of the Newman's empire, s

SARAYA'S POV;It was mid day and I still couldn’t concentrate at work. Throughout the meeting, my mind kept drifting back to what I’d seen this morning; Arlan and Matilda.I picked up the landline on my desk and entered some digits. “Peter,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper.“Yes, Ms. Newman?”“Cancel all my appointments for the rest of the day. I... I do not feel great at the moment.” My voice cracked.“I'll do that ma'am. Do you need me to get you anything?” Peter asked.I shook my head like he was in front of me. "Not at the moment, I just want to be left alone without any disturbance.""I'll see to that, ma'am." Peter replied before I ended the phone call.Grabbing my tablet, I hesitated for a moment before opening the browser. My fingers hovered over the keyboard, but my curiosity won. I typed in Matilda’s name and hit the search button.Her profile popped up instantly. The first thing I noticed was how perfect her life looked. Perfect hair, perfect smile, and, of course,

MATILDA'S POV;I drove out of Arlan's house, a satisfied smile playing on my lips."Who knew fate could be so generous?" I asked laughing out hysterically.Saraya finding me in bed with Arlan was the perfect twist. It was almost too easy."I wouldn’t have to work too hard to pull them apart now." I mused, drumming my fingers on the wheel. "She’ll do it all on her own." I increased the sound of my car stereo as the jam 'dangerous game.' was played.*THE NIGHT BEFORE...*Looking around to make sure it was safe, I bought out the drug from my pocket. It was in a small nylon. "Don't blame me for this, Arlan." I fetched the glasses, I slipped the drug into his drink, my hands steady and my heart pounding.As we drank, the effects began to show. His usually sharp eyes grew hazy, and his words stumbled over themselves. He leaned back in his chair, his guard completely down.I took my chance, leaning in and kissing him deeply. His lips were soft and warm. “You’re all mine, Arlan,” I whispere

SARAYA'S POVI stumbled down the stairs, my legs barely holding me up as my chest heaved with broken sobs. The image was burned into my mind—Arlan, half-naked, scrambling out of bed, while Matilda stood there in nothing but her panties.“Saraya, wait! Please, let me explain!” His voice chased after me like a ghost, hollow and meaningless.Explain? What was there to explain? I had seen enough. The sight of his disheveled hair and Matilda’s smug expression said everything I needed to know.“Don’t follow me, Arlan!” I screamed over my shoulder, my voice cracking.But of course, he didn’t listen. I heard his footsteps behind me, his desperation clawing at my back.“Saraya! Please! It’s not what you think!”“Not what I think?!” I spun around at the bottom of the stairs, my face wet with tears. “You were in bed with her, Arlan! What exactly am I supposed to think?!”His mouth opened, then shut, and for a moment, I saw guilt flicker across his face. That was it. That was all I needed.I bolt

SARAYA'S POV;Perched on the edge of the bed, my mind drifted to Alan. How he had shown up for me today at the Central Precinct."Here I was thinking I was doing a great job suppressing my feelings but why did I feel that way then? And why do I feel this way now?" I bit my lower lip as I placed my hand on my chest, bearing the sporadic rhythm of my heartbeat.The tingly sensation made me happy yet made me nervous.I shook my head as if to shake off the thought of him, but his thoughts continued to fill my mind. I laid my back against the bed, hoping to get some sleep and stop thinking about him but even sleep was far away from my eyes.My eyes squeezed shut but opened with frustration written over my face. It didn't work. The worried look on his face when he came to the Central Precinct to bail me was all I could see when I closed my eyes and all I could think of.“Perhaps you should go see him rather than sitting here doing nothing.” A voice whispered in my thoughts.I shook my hea

ALAN'S POV;I pulled over the car at the garage, a deep huff escaped from my lips with as I leaned back on my seat.It had been a long day, one I didn't expect.I alighted from the car and headed to my apartment. Punching in the pin in the lock, I recalled how Saraya looked at me at the Central Precinct.Though she did nothing to be sorry for, she must have been awfully embarrassed. I would be too if I was in her shoes."What was I thinking?"Opening the door, I dragged my feet inside and sank on the couch in the living room.“Bridget? Bridget!” I called out but there was response. I was tired, famished and was craving some good food for the night.At least, something good for the day. I rolled my eyes after some second of waiting for a response but didn't get any.“Bridget?” I called again as I rose to my feet and headed to the kitchen. That was when I remembered it was her day off from work.“What a good day!” I scoffed with my face slightly marred with a frown. “Could today just be

Arthur was devastated at the news of Matilda's death, he had blamed himself for her death and took what was left of her ashes and placed it in a columbarium.Bella stood by his side, mourning with him and helping him through that phase.The police launched a full investigation, arresting Patricia and Amelia. Arthur's gathered evidences were very instrumental in their arrest.Soon, Patricia and Amelia were arraigned for trial. Bella had pleaded for a chance to talk to Patricia at the final trial. "Why do you have to hurt us so much? I treated like you a sister and James adorned you.""Tell me why I should be nice to you filthy pieces of trash?" Patricia asked showing no remorse. "You stole Arthur from me, I regretted not poisoning you to death when I had the chance."Bella bursted into another round of fresh tears, "you're hopeless.""Take her away."Arthur pulled Bella to himself. "Everything would be fine, I'm certain justice would prevail, let's go in and hear the final verdict." He

Fargo took off the glasses and smashed it to pieces disconnecting the live video. "What do you think you're doing?" He asked as he rained slaps on Arthur's face.Arthur groaned loudly in pain. "I'm unveiling who you truly are to the world.""I'll kill you." Fargo said angrily as he sent Arthur crashing on the ground with another blow.Arthur spat blood. "You shouldn't have touched my family."Fargo took out a pocket knife, "I'll let you experience pain and beg me to kill you.""The moment you kill me, your entire life will be over. No matter where you go, you'll always have to be on the run.""I've killed once, you think I'll be afraid to do again?" Fargo asked."The choice is yours; turn yourself to the police and face the law or be on the run all your life like a rat.""We would see about that, I'm going to take my time with you." Fargo replied. He grabbed a small bottle and a syringe and injected it Arthur s body causing him to feel numb and weak. "Remember, nobody is coming to save

Arthur laid Patricia on the sofa, he quickly arranged for some bodyguards to take over and secure the place while he proceeded with his next step of action.He called a number on his phone. "Hello, Carla?""Yes, who is..." Carla immediately recognized the voice. "Arthur Lorenzo?""Yes it's me.""To whom do I owe this pleasure?" Carla asked in surprise."I thought you would be interested in being a real reporter this time.""Hmmmmm, I don't think I'm ready, I resigned from my job to take a break.""I know you resigned and that is the more reason you're the perfect fit for this job. Enough break, Carla. It's time to get back to work.""What are you talking about? I already said I'm not going to be anyone prawn.""You tell me, how does being n independent famous reporter sound?""What do you have for me?" Carla asked, taking interest."We are going live, Carla." Arthur announced. "Two of my friends are being hostage by a drug baron who happens to be an acquaintance of Amelia.""What?" Ca

"oh my god," Bella gasped as she saw james lying motionlessly on the bed. "What happened to you?" She held his hand and kissed his forehead.Arthur stood right beside her, watching the one grid reunion. "There is something you need to know." He began. Rubbing off the tears from her face, "what is it?""I need you to be brave, Bel." Arthur grabbed her shoulder. "Can you spill it out already?"Arthur took a deep breathe before spilling the beans, "The doctors said James doesn't have much time with us."Bella tried to speak while processing the words that had fallen out of Arthur's mouth but found herself staggering, all thanks to Arthur's firm grip on her, she would have fallen to the ground."He was doing well before he left, what happened?""Unfortunately his health relapsed, we have to prepare ourselves for the worst." Arthur replied."That bitch, what has she done to my brother?" Bella cussed and yelled.Arthur drew her closer, "I'll take care of everything."Bella scoffed. "How w

Bella was lost in thoughts about what to do with the pregnancy when she heard a soft but persistent knock on the door.She wasn't expecting anyone, besides it was already late but at the thought of James, she quickly ran and opened the door without asking who it was.Her reaction was emotionless but she could swear her heart had beaten a thousand times in a spilt second while looking at the figure in front of her.The two stared at each other intensely without any spoken words and increased breathing, she had believed he would never appear in front of her again and to think he was actually in her house for the very first time made it difficult for her to know what to do.A quick glance at his handsome face revealed how pale he looked and her heart broke. "What are you doing here?" She asked, afraid he wouldn't say a thing and remained at the door."We found him." Arthur said in almost a whisper."You found James?" Her eyes lit up with surprise and excitement.Arthur found himself unab

"Tie them up.""Why did you stop us from chasing after them, boss." Hugo asked."Use your brain, James is going to die soon. I've been thinking of ways to dispose him without having to stain my hands, who knew luck would shine on me?"Hugo nodded his head, "but what are we going to do about them?""We are going to use them to negotiate with Arthur. We should get some money off them to compensate for all of our troubles.""Do you think he is going to give in?""Of course, he won't leave them behind." Fargo replied."Are you giving on the lady?""Of course, of what use is she when she is penniless?" Fargo replied. "There are plenty of beauties scattered round the world."***Arthur drove on a very high speed as he headed to the location sent to his phone by Matteo."Damn you Fargo, damn you Patricia." He cussed out. "I'll rip you both into pieces, I promise."Looking at the map on his phone, he could tell he was very close to his destination. He looked up and saw a house in sight. It wa

Bethany looped her hand around the crook of Adonis' arm as they walked down the path.It was winter now and though the roads were filled with snow, her life was filled with joy. She was happy, more happy than she had ever been. With Adonis in her life, she had had beautiful experiences and she wanted those experiences to continue. Well, today another beautiful experience was set to occur and she did not know how to react to it."Do not worry. You would not miss me too much." Talina replied back to her raging thoughts."I would definitely miss you. You have been in my body since I was a baby, how do I live without you?" Bethany said to her."You have Adonis now and now, your body is sitting enough to function on its own. Most importantly, it is time for me to get the rest I have so desperately wanted." Talina replied in Bethany's head."Are you okay?" Adonis squeezed Bethany's hand. "I am just asking Talina if it is necessary for her to leave my body? I am already used to having her

Adonis ran up to Bethany's parents to ensure they were safe. If Bethany was going to give herself up for her parents, he may as well ensure that they do live and that her sacrifice is not in vain. He could never trust Kalta. The blood-sucking demon could decide to kill them even after having Bethany and it was the more reason he wanted Kalta dead.Just as he was about to take them somewhere safe, Bethany's mom whispered in a very weak voice, "What is that bastard going to my daughter?"Adonis immediately spun his head in the direction of Kalta and his body grew weak from the sight before him. Kalta's lips were buried deep into Bethany's neck, drinking her blood. "Kalta!" He yelled and stretched forth his hands, this time around ready to bring down the entire palace and the world way if he had to. Everything in the direction of Adonis' hands began to freeze, traveling so fast that there was barely any time to react to the ice cold that took over everything. But not Kalta. The power

A strong rush of adrenaline filled Adonis as he ended the lives of the death agents in the place. His entire being was filled with anger and hatred, he found his anger depleting as he sniffed life out of the death agents, so he continued to sizzle them to nothingness, completely ignoring Kalta. Talina felt super proud of Adonis, especially now that she saw a strong possibility of them winning this battle. She knew that with most of the death agents out of the way, killing Kalta would be easier. The moment she saw Kalta stand up from his throne with a death glare in his eyes, she immediately activated her shield. She knew how sneaky Kalta could be and she was not ready to risk anything being around him. "Kalta, you better give up now. Your men are retreating and soon enough, you will be left alone with no protection." She yelled at him."You know, I can never give up, but be certain that you will never see your parents ever again." He said and balled his hands into fists and began t

Talina saw the fear in the eyes of the death agents and wondered what was going on. The ones around her had all stopped in their tracks and were exchanging looks with one another. She immediately swung her head in the direction where this fear was emanating from and found that more than half of Kalta's men had been frozen to death by Adonis's magic. "Great job!" She praised him and took on a defensive stance at the rest of the death agents. "Come on. I can't wait to kill all of you." "You all have the chance to leave here with your lives intact. Do not allow a coward like Kalta to ruin your lives." Adonis warned the rest of the death agents who were standing by the other side contemplating if they should fight him or not.The death agents exchanged looks among themselves and stared at one another weighing their options of of living or fighting to their certain death. Kalta saw the decision his men were struggling to make and knew that if he did not do something really quick, this b

Kalta's blood boiled as he realized it had been a full day and Bethany and Adonis were not at his palace yet. Bethany was supposed to be back here, begging him to release her parents and willingly offer her heart and her blood to him. He stared at her mother who had been in the trance-like look for hours. She had definitely made the connection and except if Bethany did not care about her parents, she was supposed to be here. Well, there was nothing a little more pain could not guarantee. He thought and squeezed his arms at the woman’s body. She let out a loud yell of pain and Mr. Blake fell to the floor and clasped tightly to his hand. "Please, have mercy on my wife. You have put her in a lot of pain already." The man begged. "Well, your daughter does not think I have put her in enough pain. All of these would kindly end if your daughter comes here now. It is all in her hands." He chuckled and tightened his fist harder on the woman's body. The entire palace of Ice and soul shook w

Talina stared at the tiring look on Adonis face and knew that if they were going to face Kalta like this, they might just be finished in seconds. She knew Adonis was powerful, but he had yet to harness and master his powers and if he wanted to defeat Kalta at his palace, then he needed to put some more effort in. The problem however was that they had no time and her body was already getting weaker from the Kalta was sending her way.She tried to convey her disappointment to him, but the pain rolling off her body did not permit her to talk. Bethany was in so much pain and it was taking a toll on her."I am so sorry," Adonis said as he rushed to her. He hated to see her in pain and it was weakening him in ways he could not explain. It was the more reason he could not channel his energy in the right direction right now. "You'd better be, because if those weak blows of yours are what you want to win Kalta with, then I am sorry to tell you, but we would be toast as soon as we enter into
