Two Weeks laterQueenie's eyes flew open when she heard the door open. Pierce who was going through some papers turned to look at the bed hearing her move. His eyes glistened when he saw the woman's eyes wide open. Abandoning his paperworks, he rushed to her side. "Are you alright?" "I'm fine." She replied croakily. The man's hand moved to the beside table where there was a filled glass of water. "Here." She accepted it and gulped down the entire glass in less than ten seconds not surprising to the man. "What happened to me and how long have I been unconscious?" She asked after she became clearheaded. The question was one that the man had prepared to answer from the day she went unconscious so it didn't come as a surprise to him. "You visited your therapist but then realized that her aim was to scam you through hynosis. When you realized, you tried to leave but she did something which knocked you unconscious. We brought in so many doctors to examine you and they each assured m
"Your injuries aren't that deep. Take this twice everyday, don't forget to change your plaster any time you have a bath." Dr. Fox instructed handing Roxanne a container containing drugs. Roxanne nodded obediently but the man who knew her like the back of his hands, warned her seriously, "If you don't take it, your injuries will cover up but will keep hurting from the inside." Then he turned and walked away. As soon as he left, Audrey entered. "I'm guessing you should be a little bit better now. We have something to tackle." She sat on Roxanne's bed and opened the laptop she had walked in with, as she typed on it, she informed, "I've had some of my men go in search of Natasha since that day. They hadn't gotten a single sign of her until yesterday when I received a picture of her." "They've seen her." Roxanne concluded. However, Audrey shook her head. "She left me a message on his phone. Apparently, she knows she's being sought for. So she killed one of my men and recorded a video
He heaved a sigh of relief seeing it was just an image conjured in his mind. His eyes traveled to Queenie who was now fast asleep. After calming his nerves, he walked towards his closet to have a change of clothes then walked out minutes later. "Keep an eye on Mrs. Verlice and inform me the moment you notice something wrong with her." He instructed Vincent and got into a black Maybach. Vincent nodded and watched him drive out of the compound. ...IN MARONLiam also got to work as soon as he got off the phone with Pierce. The man who had sent for the company's manager, looked up at the man and got up. "You'll help me do something." He started, grabbing his suit jacket which he had drooped around the chair he sat on. "I have something to take care of and it might take an hour or two. Since my presence is needed, I'll need you to create a distraction until I arrive." He patted the manager's shoulder whose name was John Pat, and walked past him. When he got to the door, he turned
A battered car was a terrible sight. Enough to scare away pedestrians. But when it was a bullet filled car, they kept an even more distance from it. "Were you shot?" Sarah asked worriedly, seeing the man clutching onto his side. She extended her hand to touch him but got scared off by a glare from him. The man took away his hand and placed it on the steering. Seeing the blood on it, the woman affirmed he had really been shot. "If you continue bleeding, you stand a very high risk of ending up dead in a few minutes." She reminded. Liam sighed and looked at her. Then at her legs, or so she thought. "There's a first aid kit under your chair." The woman raised her chair and pulled out the little kit. "I wasn't shot. A bullet just grazed my side." She nodded and got to work. Took out some cottons, a pair of scissors and methanol. After taking her desired quantity of wool, she held it with the small, silver scissors and dipped into the methanol before turning to look at him. "Pull
Jessica was in a press conference when her phone rang. She took a peak at the caller and when she saw it was an unknown number, she didn't answer at first. But when the number kept interrupting her, she ended the meeting. "This meeting will be adjourned to Friday. Take your time, plot your presentations, Maybe then, we'd be able to narrow down on what to do on Friday." She didn't waste anymore time before ending the call. Then she picked up her phone and dialed the number that kept calling. "I'm I speaking to Jessica?" A familiar voice asked. She instantly recognized it to belong to Liam and said in agreement. "Yes, what is it?" "Right now, I'm on the run. The Dragon Conglomerate are after me." Liam said. Jessica's eyes widened. "Why would they be after you? Are you sure about this?" As she spoke, she turned to her computer and entered a website. Her ID and a scan of her iris was requested before she was let in. The first thing her eyes came in contact with was a headhunt for
Verlice VillaQueenie sat in the balcony ready nursery rhymes while her free hand caressed her bulging stomach. She stopped hearing loud footsteps behind her and smiled when she saw Pierce. Her smile faded when she saw the man wasn't smiling. When he saw her, he forced out a smile and stopped inches away. "Are you alright?" She asked. The man nodded and opened his mouth to say something when his eyes met with the pill on the table. His eyes widened in shock as he grabbed it with both hands. "Where did you get this?" "A maid delivered it to me. Said you asked her to get it for me." Queenie replied with a smile. "A maid? Do you recall what she looks like?" Pierce asked, anxious to grasp whoever it is that delivered the pill. "I don't. You have tons of maids and I can't make it my job to memorize what they look like. Why are you in a panic?" She asked at once. "This medicine isn't a nice one and it's all of us in jeopardy." The man finally said calmly. "Does it affect the baby
A Village In JaronLiam and Sarah had been walking for days, evading the men from the conglomerate took up most of their energies. "Can I die now?" Sarah cried, falling heavily to the ground. Liam looked back r her but didn't go to help. "I'm tired as well. According to the direction given to us, we should be nearing the sea depot. Once we have them there, we'd cause a distraction and head back to the village. Then we'd be out. Just hold on a little longer, please." Sarah didn't say anything as she already had her eyes closed, breathing shallowly. When she opened her eyes, it met with the man's hardened yet handsome face. "Fine!" She got up and staggered towards him. They walked into a corner before the two got dragged into a corner. Sarah had already given up her life to fate while Liam struggled out of their grips and fought a few of them. But because he had been starved for days, his strength had weakened. "We're not foes." One of the men hurriedly said as he took off his m
A Village In JaronA man putting on a face mask got down from the last car and walked towards the four of them. "Cheetah and Lynx, I didn't think I'd see you guys anytime soon. However, it's a pleasure meeting you." The man said. "Is this the traitorous Python who betrayed his master in exchange for just a little power? I must say, I expected more." Cheetah scoffed. Python pulled off his mask and his dark skinned face came into their view. A smile radiated his face next as he said, "Because we just met, I'd disregard your words. However, if I may ask, give me Liam Verlice and Sarah Mooney and we can't pretend none of this ever happened." "Sorry traitor, but you'd be getting them over my dead body." Lynx said, stepping forward. "If you say so, who I'm I not to grant your request." The smile on Python's face deepened as he raised both hands signalling the men with him to aim his guns at Cheetah and Python. Before he gave the final order, he asked, "Are you sure about this?" Cheeta
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.
