She was soon interrupted when a call entered her phone. Apprehensively, she stopped what she was doing and searched for her phone. Seeing it was her nightmare, she sighed and then swiped the green icon with shaky hands. "I want to see you today Alicia. Make your way to Fountain Valley in thirty minutes. Delay can be very dangerous." "..." Before Alicia could say anything, the call got ended by him. Knowing the man as a man of his words, she quickly got herself ready and walked out of the room. She collided with Velon who was walking in tiredly at that moment. The man looked her over before asking, "Where are you going?" "To meet a friend." It wasn't the first time he had asked her such but it was the first time she reacted in a calm manner. Her behavior got the man suspicious but he decided not to let it show and merely nodded his head. "Okay." The woman hurried out of the house almost immediately and the man continued walking to their bedroom. When he met the disheveled room, h
Before anyone knew it, two months had passed and Queenie had become even more cranky. Audrey, Jessica and Roxanne had returned to her side and as a result, she didn't think anything was wrong. As her day of delivery grew closer, so did the nervousness in their body heighten. Natasha nor Raphael hadn't made any move and the thought that they could be aiming to hurt Queenie and her child when they were at their lowest caused everyone a heartache. Jacobs on the other hand battled with his cancer while having restless nights. That morning, Queenie walked out of the bathroom with a face towel to wipe off the water on her face. Pierce, who was typing something, stopped and looked towards her. He put the laptop down and walked to her. She sat down on the bed and held her waist as her bulging stomach caused her great pain. "Have you come again to see what your children are doing?" She asked with a smile. Pierce returned the smile and squatted, then placed his head gently on her stomac
In a suiteNatasha poured a glass of whiskey for the nervous Raphael. She dropped the bottle and took up the glass. "Here, have a drink to calm your nerves." She said as she pushed it towards him. The man stared at her then at the glass. He took it after a moment of hesitation and took an aggressive sip. "I don't get your plan, Natasha." He said as he dropped the glass back on the table hastily. Natasha smirked and drank directly from the bottle. "What exactly do you not understand, Raphael?" "Queenie should go into labour any time soon. I heard you instructing someone over the phone to take action when that happens. That is what I don't understand." The man clarified. Natasha looked at him and shrugged. "The road will be blocked and she'll stay in traffic for a long time before she gets to the hospital." "You don't sound like someone who would be willing to remove the cause of the traffic later on." Raphael mused. "Yeah, I know." She sighed and took his glass of whiskey after
Many diving into the water and others running as fast as they could, there was an uproar."I will skin Natasha alive the next time I see her!" Audrey screamed bitterly as she plunged into the sea while Roxanne followed.The bomb detonated two minutes later. A lot of people dropped dead on the bridge while others were caught mid air and fell into the water dead. Minutes later, numerous police vans rushed towards the bridge with fire fighters trailing behind them. The emergency response also arrived."Help me, help me please." a woman sitting next to his son whose two legs were detached in the explosion begs, she was covered in bruises. She was still speaking when the ambulance arrived and helped the boy to the ambulance cot...."I'm very tired, Jessica. Let's find somewhere and rest for a minute. I don't think I can move any further." Queenie, who was running out of breath, said breathlessly. However, Jessica didn't stop moving. She was tired as well, but because she was scared the
In the hospitalIt's been two hours since Queenie got to the hospital, everyone was waiting but there was no news from the doctor and this bothered Pierce so much, he decided to go meet the doctor himself but Jessica suggested he stayed back."How long does it take for a woman to give birth?" This he asked subconsciously, placing his hand on his jaw in wonderment."It could take a few hours depending on the person and condition." Jessica, who was worried as well, replied. Peirce wore a worried look. "It's normal to be worried. But if you keep acting like this we'd both be crazy and on edge. So, please, Pierce Verlice, calm down." She said word for word. She paused for a while then continued, "Child birth can take the whole day or even two days, you never can tell.""A whole day, really?" Pierce narrowed his eyes at Jessica's direction. The almighty Pierce Verlice was acting like a child and the thought of that made her let out a laugh. "As I said earlier, you just have to be calm
In the hideout suite "have you contacted Kim, yet?" Natasha enquiries, pouring wine in a glass.Raphael had a sinister look and replied "I think her line is off the hook, I tried over and over again." He paused for a moment, he continued. "Natash, don't you think you went too far?" This he said, motioning his hand and head in a suggestive but fearful manner.On hearing him, Natasha cast a warning and malicious look at him.Raphael sensed danger so he rephrased his statement."I mean, we went too far, concerning the bomb but sending Kim to the hospital to kill Queenie is way too much.""And your point is?" Natasha replied, motioning her hands."Never mind, Queenie deserves whatever she is going through right now." Raphael commented, although he didn't really mean what he said, his purpose was to convince Natasha he's on her side.As she gulped the wine from the bottle, and uttered "who needs glass when you can just drink from the bottle itself, it tastes much better, don't you think
"You forgot to tell us where to locate Our friend Roxanne, remember?""Oh! yeah, she's in the intensive room, close to right opposite the emergency room.""Got it" she said, and without any hesitation she headed to the door and walked away majestically, she totally had a time of her life flirting with the Doctor."So sexy!" She let out excitedly, she walked towards Jessica, who had an understanding look on her face.On seeing Audrey stride towards her with an infectious smile, Jessica couldn't help but give a beaming smile. "Well done, miss!" Jessica applauded. "It took you thirty minutes to get the direction, right? I know what you're up to, hope you got his contact though." She teased.Audrey giggled and uttered "Oh men that guy is hot! Trust me I will surely come back for his contact.""You don't say. Please let's hurry, I am dying to see Roxanne." Jessica urged.The two hurried to the intensive room. "Uhhuu, I think it's there." Audrey said, pointing at the entrance tiredly. Je
The explosion threw everyone into confusion. It affected several other wards. Thankfully, Pierce and the children were already outside. However, Roxanne who was just a few wards away got knocked unconscious. Breath seizing from her lungs. Audrey and Jessica weren't left out. But they weren't totally knocked out. They got up as soon as possible and headed in different directions. When Jessica arrived in Queenie's ward, she fell to her knees seeing the charred corpse on it and wept bitterly. When she got up, she looked more lifeless than when she got flung aside by the explosion. "Roxanne is not breathing!" Audrey yelled as she made her way into Queenie's ward. Jessica realizing she couldn't lose more of her friends, got up and headed outside with Audrey. They got into a white Land Rover and drove out. They drove to the nearest hospital where Roxanne was instantly placed in an ICU. "Queenie is…dead." Jessica muttered as she looked up at Audrey. Audrey nodded and looked to the
Pierce walked out of the bathroom with a towel tied loosely around his waist. Queenie who had been sulking on the bed raised her eyes to say something but it got stuck in her throat seeing his chiseled muscles.It also occurred to her this was the most intimate she had ever been with Pierce. Her body heated up at the thought of that and she groaned in displeasure. She was supposed to be angry but she was horny instead. Pierce had no idea what was going on with her but he did notice her frown deepened every passing second. "Queenie, are you alright?" He asked slowly and she snapped out of her thoughts. However, she ignored him. The man chuckled to himself and walked to the clothes he had taken off before going to have his bath. He took out something and handed it over to her. "Just like I thought, you were the one with the diary." She mumbled as she took it. "Yes. I came across it once in her office and decided to take it. Unfortunately, when I read the part regarding the formula,
Velon managed to get them through the corridor undetected. Queenie practically limped the whole time but quietly. However, just before they got to the elevator, they saw a green light and froze. There was someone inside. There was no time for them to decide as the elevator dinged open and Henry walked out of it. His face scrunched over when he realized what was going on and he immediately raised an alarm. "Who are you and who gave you the go ahead order to move them?" His sharp voice echoed throughout the empty corridor. Velon and Queenie felt movements towards them and sighed silently. Just like that, their perfect escape had been ruined by a lousy mouth relative. Despite her weak state, she tried to move when Velon held her back. "If you do that they'll get you again. Just get into the elevator." Upon hearing him, Henry scoffed and stood guard in front of the elevator door. Taking Queenie down would've been an impossible task but at this point, he knew she was beyond weak and
"But I still don't understand what the talk has to do with your plan with the formula for more drugs." Queenie scoffed, turning her face back to Mishael. "True. I've deviated from my storyline." The man replied, flashing an apologetic smile. "My father spent all his life's savings on Transformers because he knew he'd get more out of the product. The Transformers' drugs boost the human body. Increases things like speed, retention ability and some special abilities one might acquire as a side effect." "So you're trying to tell me you plan on doing the same thing which caused my mother to burn down the laboratory in the first place?" Queenie asked just to be sure and the man nodded. "It's called, continuing the family's legacy." Mishael enunciated and walked back to where he dropped his bottle of bourbon. "What if they don't find it?" Queenie asked as he filled his cup again. He only gave a dark chuckle. "I don't mind doing the same thing my father did." "Bring children and use the
Texas Velon returned home after being released by Queenie. He first had his son released but as he looked down at the boy, his heart skipped when he realized there was no resemblance between. "Daddy, those people took mommy away." Matt said, tears brewing in his eyes. He hadn't forgotten the sight he saw that day. "We'll go to mommy now. Don't cry." Velon consoled snapping out of his world.He grabbed the boy and took him into his arms. Just to affirm that Queenie was just messing with him, he stopped by a hospital and had them run a paternity test. "The result will be out in an hour, sir." The doctor told him. Then his eyes settled on Matt. "You have a handsome boy." "Thank you." Velon replied and led Matt out of the hospital. "The results can also be sent to your email in case you don't make it here on time. It's always more convenient." The doctor added with a smile. Finding no harm in it, Velon gave the doctor his email address before leaving. He found the police station w
Lucas and Audrey turned to see Deborah standing behind them with a smile. The most baffling thing was that they had no idea when she arrived. "How long have you been here?" Lucas asked, turning to her fully. Deborah flicked her wristwatch and stared at the time for a few seconds before raising her head again, "Three minutes. Just enough to kill you both and dump your bodies in the middle of the sea."If she was trying to scare them, she didn't succeed as they just stared at her blankly. "What are you doing here?" Deborah asked again, furrowing his brows in displeasure. "I worked for your parents. Of course I had to attend your father's funeral." Deborah replied with a snicker. "They gave you away. Frankly speaking, you don't look like you care about him." Lucas continued saying while Audrey watched silently. "You're right." Deborah chuckled, "I came to be sure Queenie won't run with the medicine she purified. It's unfortunate that Mishael now has his hands on her." "Mishael? Li
Mishael turned off his phone and turned his attention back to Queenie. David stood by the side with tears in his eyes. Just a few minutes ago, Mishael had suddenly instructed him to strung up Queenie and hit her. He had obeyed since he was hypnotized. "You know you don't have to make him watch as you hit me." Queenie who had regained her breath said. Mishael picked up his glass and walked close to her. "Then where's the fun?" Queenie sighed and lowered her head. "You do know they might not find the diary, don't you?" "Yes, I do." "That's good to know. What do you intend to do when they don't find it?" She asked and the man grinned crazily. "I intend to cut off your body parts for every hour it takes them to find it. It'll be a really unfortunate sight if they don't hand me that diary." Mishael replied, taking a slip from his cup. "I can help you find it. My mother stayed away from home almost all the time. So I made it a habit to follow her thinking she was cheating on my dad.
Knight's Mansion Natasha watched the funeral from a reasonable distance. She turned and headed back to her room when a hand reached out and dragged her into a corner. "It's me." Lucian shushed Natasha who was about to become violent making her freeze momentarily. She looked up to see her three elder brothers looking down at her with stoic looks. This was the closest she had been with them ever since they grew up. "I didn't come to cause Queenie any harm." She told them after a minute passed with none of them saying anything. However, her words were far from what Lucas needed to hear. He opened his mouth to say something. Fortunately, Lucian beat him to it. "When did you become so close to Queenie?"Natasha looked up at them silently. It was clear from the look in her eyes she wanted nothing other than to run away from them. But that only made the protective brothers curious. "I'm sorry but I'm not supposed to be discussing that with you." She told them after their gazes became
Queenie's pupils dilated as soon as she heard that name. "Now, give me the envelope." David said afterward and Queenie reluctantly gave it to him. There was no debating it. If she resisted, David would kill himself and Mishael would send someone else after her. If she still refused to hand it over, the same thing would keep repeating. David glanced at the envelope quickly before putting it into his suit pocket. Then he glanced up at her and said, "Mishael says thank you." He got up and lowered his gun. "Mishael, that bastard!" She groaned, trying her best to rein the anger within her. How Mishael had manipulated David to be so stupid was what baffled her. "Give me the gun." She told him but the boy shook his head with a confused look. "I don't want to give it to you." "Then point it at me before I get my hands on you." David had an even more confusing look on his face when he heard her. He glanced at his gun again and tried to point it at her but realized he couldn't. "Queen
"When did you find out?" Lucas asked. "Yesterday during my talk with Deborah." Queenie replied, "When did you two get your information as well?" "Oh, from Mary Leicester. She was one of the founding members of the experiment." Roxanne retorted. Lucas also nodded in agreement. "In as much as I want to continue this discussion, I have a father and a husband to mourn. After this funeral, I'll get to the bottom of all this." Queenie sighed and got up. Lucas and Roxanne also took that as their cue to leave and left as soon as Queenie made her way into her closet. "You think she's really affected by Pierce's demise?" Roxanne asked sadly as they walked in the corridor. "I don't know." Lucas said, at a loss at what to say. Queenie had always been one who hated revealing her emotions to people. He could imagine how hard it was for her. Not only had she lost the only father figure she had, she also lost her husband on the day of her father's funeral. Anyone would be racked up with pain.
