In the wardSalto stirred awake with a happy smile on his face. However, that smile soon faded when he felt his side and there was no sign of anyone. His eyes flew open and he got out of bed and threw on his clothes, his hands reaching into his pockets. He dialed the security's number but it went unanswered. He needed no one to tell him what was happening. "I think Natasha has escaped." He said as soon as his call connected to Pierce's line. "Really? You let her escape!" The other man bellowed. "Look, I didn't know, alright?" Salto said forcefully. "If you had listened to me when I told you to give my wife to you none of this would've happened!" Pierce insisted from the other hand. "Natasha has done a lot of vile things to Queenie. If I had given her back to you and she happens to regain her memory my fiance would be done for." Salto scoffed as he walked out of the room. "Then guess what?" Pierce asked mockingly from the other end. "What?" "We have a mad woman on the loose
Country AQueenie couldn't help the fact Lawrence kept staring at her. So when she was down with her work that morning, she walked towards him. "I never knew you work here." She said when she got to him. Lawrence laughed slightly and nodded. "It's not exactly like that. I will say I'm working part-time." Queenie wanted to ask what kind of work but refrained as she thought she'd sound pervasive. One of the TVs next to them changed channels and it was a live broadcast of someone and somewhere Lawrence knew very well. Thankfully, the place was crowded, hence, Queenie didn't notice on time. But the instincts remained and she naturally turned towards the TV when she felt people's attention on it. It was at that moment Lawrence reached out and grabbed her hand. "There's something I want to show you." For reasons she couldn't comprehend, she felt safe with him. They took the elevator straight to Saltos office. In the elevator, his phone chimed with a message from Pierce. "Tell me y
Lawrence stared into Queenie's eyes with uncertainty. However, the next second, she fell into his arms, pressing him into a bone crushing hug. "Lawrence, what happened to me?" She asked after disengaging from the hug. "You lost your memory." Lawrence replied, pressing his lips into a tight frown. Queenie scoffed almost immediately. "Memory loss doesn't just happen that sudden. The last thing I remember is dad messing with my head. He did it, didn't he?" Lawrence sighed and sat on the floor. Queenie did so too and the two stared silent. "He did but it was for your own good." The man sighed. "You all have always taken his side. And do I need to remind you that I'm no longer 18! By the way, how long has it been?" "Five years." "Oh, wow. And you say I shouldn't make him pay?" Queenie laughed coldly. "No one said that but at this moment, that shouldn't be your primary worry." The man said and turned to hold her hand. "Natasha has gone rogue and The Dragon Conglomerate has fallen.
Queenie remained frozen as she glanced between her three children. The others mistook her blank look for her having her moment. So they filed out of the room one after the other. When they were gone, Pierce was the only one left. The man slowly got up and pinned his eyes on her. Aster had gone to take shade behind her brothers. Although Queenie looked familiar, she couldn't ignore the fact she was a stranger who she had never set eyes on. Pierce noticed this and walked towards the children. "These are our children. Aster, Aaron and Adrian." Queenie smiled at the three but refused taking any errors to meet them. "Where are your nannies?" Pierce asked as he lowered his eyes to meet with the children's. "Here, sir. They found their way out of my grip. I'm sorry." One of the nannies said as she walked out. "Take them inside." Pierce ordered. The three who didn't dare to go to Queenie, poked her with their eyes before they were taken into their rooms. The two stayed silent for mi
Knights Villa, MaileLucian lurked around his father after Velon had been driven out by him.He had received a call during the confrontation and was excited. Jacobs noticed his countenance but didn't bother to ask him what was going on. "Dad, there's something you should know." Lucian finally said. Jacobs glanced up at his son and asked, "What's that?" Lucian hesitated for a while before he spoke, "Queenie is alive and she recognizes us. She has gotten back her memories." Jacobs' heart stopped beating for a second and his face paled off. Lucian rushed to him almost immediately. "Dad, are you alright?" "I am." The elderly man said as he waved his son off. "Then hurry up and get to her. You have to explain to her we didn't forget her." "She knows. Lucas and the others have already explained everything to her." Lucian replied before adding worriedly, "We need to go to the hospital.""There's no need. The doctor said I have less than two months to leave. However, my situation can d
No one dared to say a word until she was fully into the room. Queenie stared at each and every of their faces as she walked to the highest chair in the room. When she sat on it, she released an oppressive aura which subdued that of the others. Roxanne, Audrey and Jessica weren't left out. As she rubbed the blood coloured ring on her index finger, Queenie spoke. "It has come to my knowledge that when I was gone, some of you suddenly had guts to be in cohorts with Natasha Knight." Once again, no one said a word. Queenie snorted at the silent room and suddenly got up. "If you know you worked with her when I was gone, come out now and I will assign a punishment other than death to you." She promised and smiled widely. "You have ten seconds to do that." Everyone's impression of Queenie wasn't that of a kind hearted person, so normally, no one dared to step out. The guilty ones all had one though in mind: Queenie would end the meeting and go in search of those who had supported Natash
When Guerilla finished with the gruesome murders, the room was filled with dead bodies. Queenie went to each and everyone of them and inspected them like they were jewelries. After she was done, she got up and walked back to Guerilla. "You did well, Guerilla. But this isn't the end. You're the only surviving one of Natasha's spies, so you'll do something for me." Guerilla listened with rapt attention. After all, it had everything to do with his daughter's wellbeing. After Queenie was done, he nodded his head and stood beside her. Queenie then addressed the rest of the conglomerate. "It's amazing how they had forgotten my rule in such a short span of five years. And they did just as they pleased." One of them who was uneasy on his chair quickly caught the attention of Queenie. And she looked towards the woman. "You look like you have something to say." The woman hesitated for a while before she got up. "You were gone for five years. We were told that your memory might not ret
Eleven Years AgoKnight's Villa, Maile In the masters' bedroom Jacobs leaned on a bed where a sick woman was. "So, what were you saying about Queenie and Lucas?" "Those two got into a street. The others who fought against them are all lieing in the hospital. Their strength never ceases to amaze me." Jacobs spoke, his finger rubbing hers gently. The woman who looked pale smiled frigidly. "My little girl never ceases to amaze me." Then she suddenly asked. "What about the little girl you adopted?" The man paused for a few seconds before recalling who she was referring to. "Natasha is doing well. She's currently reading in her room." "She's gonna be a bright kid, Jacobs. Take care of the children, Jacobs." The woman added. The man's hand suddenly tightened around hers. "You're not dying. Once Queenie returns and donates her blood to you, you'll be fine. Don't say another word about dying again, Collette." Collette Knight smiled wryly. "Queenie's blood might keep me alive for a
