last update Last Updated: 2025-02-08 23:32:00

Jasper woke up with a start. He heaved a sigh of relief as he pinched the bridge of his nose, while staring at the ceiling. He looked at Luna. She was sleeping peacefully, her face angelic and calm as her chest rose and dropped with each steady breath.

Jasper sat up gently, left the bed and walked over to a chair situated in the corner of the room. He sat down with a huff and pressed his fingers to his temples. He had been dreaming. Dreaming about being chased in the forest by masked gunmen.

“Luke was right. Trauma, if bottled up, would eventually fester and be problematic in the future.” Jasper whispered to himself.

He looked at the wall clock mounted on the wall opposite him. He had to prepare for work. He had a team meeting with Victoria Stefan. With a heavy heart and mind, he stood up and walked out of the room. Before he closed the door, he looked at Luna once again. She stirred once, but was soon fast asleep. He closed the door quietly behind him and walked towards his own ro

    Victoria's voice gave Jasper pause. He pinched the bridge of his nose with his left hand, with his back turned to her. “The meeting is over, Victoria. Any observation or suggestion should have been brought up during the meeting. We would have analyzed them with the help of all members of our joint team. Cohesion is our watchword. And for that to be achieved, all members should table their concerns during general meetings.” Jasper stated bluntly and a bit curtly.Victoria leaned back in her chair, the polished mahogany desk between her and Jasper. She sighed, brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “ The meeting addressed all my concerns. I don't have any suggestions or observations. I asked you to stay back because of another matter.” Victoria said with a sigh, she suddenly looked tired. Jasper turned and saw the look of worry on her face, he could tell that she had been battling some internal demons. He approached the desk and sat down opposite her .Victoria continued sol

    Jasper scoffed at the name lettered across the banner which was affixed to the wall of the quaint bungalow. He stood and stared at the banner and the surroundings. He pinched the bridge of his nose in exasperation. “What am I doing here?” He asked himself. After the chaotic private discussion with Victoria, he had needed a therapist, someone he could confide in and who had the necessary skills to aid in helping him navigate through the storm that was brewing inside him. He had reached out to Evans concerning the matter. Although he made sure not to divulge any information about his ordeal in Mali, he admitted that he was going through some emotional crisis and he needed a professional to help sift through his mess. Evans recommended a Dr. Chloe Atkins, founder and owner of The Mind's Eye– a safe haven for those who needed emotional support.Locating the building wasn't difficult. As Jasper stood in front of the building, he began to have cold feet. “Who needs a therapist? This is j

    Jasper chuckled. “Isn't that counter productive?” He asked.Dr. Chloe raised an eyebrow in confusion. “Counter productive? How?”Jasper chuckled again. “Clearly, if a prey sees a predator which it knows will overpower it, what will be the wisest decision to take at that moment? Stay and face the predator or run away in the opposite direction?” Jasper asked cheekily. Dr. Chloe smiled knowingly. “That's a good analogy. I like that. It shows that you are a realist.” She commended. “ However, we live in a world which is littered by predators. In the process of avoiding Predator A, it is very likely that the prey runs into Predator B.” She continued.Jasper heaved a sigh and leaned back into his chair. He watched the doctor quietly. Dr. Chloe noticed that she had Jasper's attention, she continued. “There must come a time in that prey's life where it has to stand its ground. Running and escaping can be exhausting, especially if you intend to do it perpetually. Irrespective of wisdom, faci

    “Did you drive here?” Jasper asked as he signaled for the valet to bring his car around.Victoria was in shock. The intensity of Jasper's command was brain numbing. His deep and guttural command sent a chill throughout her body. A chill that she had always wanted to feel. A welcome chill. “Ummm. Yeah. My driver drove me here, but he took the car away. I was supposed to call him to come pick me up when I was done. Jasper hummed a reply as he waited for the valet to alight from his car. The valet handed him the keys and bowed slightly. Jasper opened the passenger door for Victoria to enter and then walked round to the driver's side. The car revved up and drove away, leaving the valet in a daze of fumes and dust.“Where are you …..where are we going?” Victoria asked, her voice was shaky. She gripped her knees with her left hand and grabbed the handle bar with her right hand. Jasper was driving like a maniac, disregarding traffic signs. She had never seen him this way before; raw and im

    Victoria was stunned. She looked like a deer caught in the headlights. The atmosphere dropped by a few degrees. The air felt colder. Goosebumps were visible on her skin. She sucked in a quick breath. Her hands shakily moved towards the hem of her gown. She watched as Jasper walked towards her, like a leopard stalking its prey. Jasper clenched his jaw as he watched Victoria fidget with the hem of her dress. There was no going back now. He had tried resisting her, keeping his distance, burying the thoughts that surfaced in stolen glances and unspoken words. But Victoria was relentless—persistent in ways that had shaken his carefully constructed world. He finally bridged the gap between them. “Isn't this what you wanted, Victoria?” Jasper asked, with a devilish grin on his face.Victoria nodded her head silently. She was melting under Jasper's steady and primal gaze. She was undone. She heard a guttural growl escape from Jasper's lips as she bit her lower lip.Jasper moved fast, grip

    The weeks rolled by. For Luna, they were confusing weeks. She watched helplessly as the distance between her and Jasper grew. To her, it felt like Jasper was avoiding her. This was bewildering to her. She couldn't remember them having any fights or even minor altercations. One moment Jasper was sweet and open, and the next moment, he was closed off and distant. She thought that they were making solid progress, but the regression was a testament to the fact that something was wrong. Jasper was like a drone. He was emotionally detached from everything and everyone around him. The only thing that seemed to occupy his mind was his business. He immersed himself fully into his company's affairs. His subordinates felt the heat. They noticed the change in his demeanor. It was not news that Jasper was an overachiever, evidently, that was how he got rich. However, his new approach to work was backbreaking. Evans and Harriet could not decipher what caused the significant change in their boss .

    Luna watched as Jasper lifted his phone to his right ear. There was a mysterious look on his face. She tried to predict what he was thinking at that moment, but she couldn't. There was an uncomfortable silence which was broken by the occasional hums given by Jasper in response. Luna had an uncomfortable feeling about Victoria. According to Jasper, Victoria was just a business associate. However, Luna knew that there was more to it. She had done a thorough internet check on Victoria and what she discovered did very little to allay her doubts. Victoria was a beautiful and successful lady, whose charm was undeniable. It hurt her to know that there was another lady; a more sophisticated lady. Luna felt inadequate. The feeling of happiness she had felt prior began to dissipate. The waiter walked to their table with their orders. Luna gestured to the waiter to set the dishes on the table. The waiter did as he was instructed and walked away.

    Luna watched as Jasper hurried out of the restaurant. She was worried. She felt overwhelmed; with Jasper's profession of love and his sudden departure, she was out of sorts. She walked out of the restaurant into the sunset, breathed the cool air and scanned the surroundings. The streets were littered with people, walking and talking. Some joggers were seen, trying to get their cardiovascular counts in the evening. Daytime vendors were packing up and locking their stores for the day while nighttime vendors were getting ready for the start of their own business day. “Excuse me.” A voice called out from Luna's side. She gasped as she stepped out of the way. It was a jogger signaling for her to clear the path. She sighed and crossed the road. She stuck to the curb as she slowly strolled along. For some reason, she felt peaceful —more peaceful than she had ever been for the past weeks. She pulled out her phone from her purse and tried to navigate her way home using the Maps application o

    Two Months After The Shootout The courtroom had been silent when the judge read the sentence. Life Imprisonment Alexander Mason, once a feared man, had sat expressionless as the verdict was delivered. His fate had been sealed—the culmination of years of crime, deceit, and brutality. The United States government had wasted no time in securing his extradition. The evidence against him was overwhelming: the murder of Jake Morgan and Jung Yen, the torture and grievous bodily harm inflicted on Sebastian’s mother, Luna, Lin and his funding of a terrorist cell (Black Sentinel).There had been no grand farewell or dramatic objection from him; just a simple nod as the gavel came down, condemning him to a lifetime behind bars. His reign of terror had ended. In the weeks that followed, Thomas and Sebastian worked closely with the local authorities in Vietnam. With Alexander gone, the Black Sentinel crumbled, their remaining members either arrested or fleeing into the unknown. The contraban

    Five Hours EarlierThe convoy moved steadily along the winding dirt road, a line of black Humvees and trucks kicking up clouds of dust under the gaze of the moon. Inside one of them, Sebastian sat with his hands bound, his jaw clenched. Lin and Luna sat beside him, equally restrained. Across from them, Alexander Mason sat, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. Sebastian had expected many things when Alexander’s men had dragged Luna, Lin and him, bagged their heads and tossed them into the van, but the sight that greeted him when he had reoriented himself was not one of them. The moment his eyes landed on her, his breath caught in his throat.“Mum?” His voice cracked, disbelief rendering him momentarily frozen. Her eyes widened, and before anyone could react, Sebastian lunged forward, pulling her into his arms. Her thin frame trembled as she clung to him fiercely, her silent sobs shaking her body. “You’re alive.” Sebastian whispered, as he deepened the hug.Alexander chuckl

    Thomas adjusted his night-vision binoculars and focused on the camp below. Locating the camp after Jasper's direction wasn't hard, coupled with the fact that they had high-tech surveillance devices. The camp was a hive of activity, armed personnels moving swiftly in all directions. From their vantage point, he and his team had a clear view of the entire setup. The black tent in the center caught his attention again. Jasper had been clear. That was where Sebastian's mother was being held.However, getting into the camp wasn't going to be easy. It was heavily guarded and its location in the centre of the camp was a tactical nightmare. Thomas arched his brow as he noticed a pattern. There was a tall, bearded man, immaculately dressed, who strolled leisurely around the camp. As he walked, soldiers paused and slightly bowed to him in respect. This led Thomas to believe that the man held some sort of high authority. He was definitely the top dog in the camp, the shot caller. Thomas zoo

    Sebastian’s head hung low, blood dripping from his temple. His wrists were raw from the metal shackles that bound him to the wooden post. His body screamed with pain from the beatings, but he had endured worse. He would not break. He just hoped that Jasper had been able to escape and call for help.Lin was slumped beside him, barely conscious. Her face was swollen, her lip split open. They had fought. They had endured.With a venomous stare, he spat out a lump of blood on the boot of his torturer. The torturer was a bulky, dark man who had been tuning them up for days in search of information. He had proven to be an unyielding captor, and the fact that Sebastian and Lin refused to talk infuriated him. A knock vibrated the door. The torturer's attention snapped to the door. He had instructed his minions not to interrupt him whenever he was at work. With an irritated voice, he snapped.“Who's there?” He bellowed.No response.Sebastian and Lin exchanged weak glances. They were glad fo

    Jasper’s breath came in ragged gasps as he sprinted through the dense undergrowth. Twigs snapped underfoot, branches tore at his arms, and the darkness seemed to press against him from all sides. After running and simultaneously scanning his environment for hours, he had done it.He had escaped the camp.But now what? Realization dawned on him. Adrenaline had driven him out of the camp, but now that the rush was fading, reality set in.Where the hell was he?The jungle was vast and like a green void. He had no compass, no map, and no idea how far he had run. He sighed as he mentally facepalmed himself.He had been so reckless.How was he going to locate the shore where the boat had been hidden?He forced himself to keep moving. There was no turning back. As the hours stretched into days, Jasper’s pace slowed. His legs burned, his lips cracked from dehydration, and his stomach twisted painfully from hunger. No food. No water. The sun was relentless, beating down on him thro

    Jasper had begun to believe his father had abandoned him again. Days had passed without any word from him. It was therefore surprising when his father strode into his tent on a cold evening. His father stood at the entrance of the tent, a smug look on his face. Jasper hated how unaffected Alexander looked. He clenched his fists. “Where are my friends?” “They’re fine.” His father replied him, his voice devoid of emotion.Jasper studied him. He didn't believe anything he said.“I want to see them.” His father exhaled through his nose. “That won’t be happening.” Before Jasper could retort, Alexander held up a hand to cut him short. “I didn't come here to banter words with you. I came here to give you a choice.” Jasper’s jaw tightened. “What choice?” “You leave this island. Tomorrow morning, a helicopter will arrive. You’ll board it, and you’ll forget you ever saw me.” Jasper stared at him in disbelief and confusion.“Excuse me?” He inquired.“You heard me.” Jasper let out

    Two days passed by in quick succession. Ever since Alexander stormed out of the tent, he hadn't returned. The only people who had entered and left the tent were the nurse who came to change his bandage and the maids who came to drop off food and water for Jasper and the strange woman I'm the corner. Two days confined in a space with a mute woman who was like a lifeless husk—unwilling to socialize. The morning of the third day, Alexander decided to bless Jasper with his presence. Jasper sat on the edge of his chair, his father’s piercing gaze locking onto him like a predator studying its prey. Without any form of pleasantries, Alexander decided to swoop in for the kill. “Let’s try this again.” He said, his voice calm but firm. “My apologies. I wasn't entirely honest with you. Your friend Jung is in custody, that you already know. However, we also managed to capture two other people plus the commando-lady we picked up two weeks ago. They've already been questioned and I have to give i

    Jasper groaned as he stirred, pain radiating from his injured leg. His mind was foggy, the lingering effects of morphine dulling his senses. As his mind cleared, the first thing he registered was the smell of roasted coffee beans. Last time he checked, they weren't on a vacation island which provides luxuries like hot frothy coffee. With a huff, he sat up and properly assessed his surroundings. He was in a tent, that much he could deduce. The tent was well furnished, two plush couches arranged perpendicular to each other, a large shiny oak table in the centre, maps and documents spread across it, expensive-looking artworks propped up against the foot of the tent and another king-sized bed situated in the opposite corner of the tent. Glancing at his foot, he noticed that it had been neatly wrapped up with clean bandages. He sighed.His nostrils traced the source of the coffee smell. It came from a coffee pot which was placed on a tray with cups on a table in the corner of the tent. T

    From the shadows, figures emerged. At least five of them, dressed in a mixture of camouflage and dark clothing, their faces partially covered with cloth. Each one wielded a weapon—rifles, machetes, even crossbows.The leader, a tall man with a bald head, stepped closer. Unlike the other men, he didn't cover his face with a cloth. From the slant of his eyes, he seemed to be of oriental origin. However, his English was surprisingly clear and well-pronounced. “Who are you? And what are you doing on this island?” His voice boomed and reverberated around the forest floor. Sebastian's mind whirled as he tried to figure out the best way out of their current predicament. Looking at the men, it was evident that they weren't government military personnels; instead, they looked like the pirates that Lin had warned them about. Sebastian exchanged a tense glance with Luna. He knew one thing for certain. They were in serious trouble.“We are researchers, on a research mission to uncover the w
