I observed that Alex had stationed only one guard at the dungeon and I could easily defeat him if it came down to a physical struggle. The day was almost gone and I realized that the guard would be in the dungeon at any minute. I weighed my options, to get out of the dungeon using the key, or wait for the guard to come meet me,but what if he noticed the missing keys before then.Swiftly, I stood up from the chair and dusted off my haggard clothes as they were filled with dust and tiptoed all the way to the entrance of the dungeon. I looked around to know if anyone was watching, but there was no one in sight. I slowly inserted the key into the lock and twisted it open silently to avoid making any noise. My breathing was heavy as I knew that if any mistake occurred and I was caught, there would be serious consequences.Once the lock had been opened, I moved out of the dungeon quietly and saw the guard standing miles away from the dungeon. I was glad he hadn’t heard a no
It was raining heavily outside and the sounds and gentle patter of the raindrops against the window like melodious tunes was accompanied by occasional rumbles of thunder.The air thick with the smell of wet earth, and the trees dancing to the melodious tune of the breeze, making the leaves rustle softly. In the distance, the occasional car horn or siren can be heard, but mostly the night is quiet and still. The rain creates a sense of peace and calm, and the darkness makes the world feel small and cozy.I had made my way into the club. The loud music blasting through the speakers, making everyone sway their hips to its rhythm. I wasn't here to party, I had serious business at hand and there was only one place I could discuss my business; in the inner room.Before I would be allowed access into the inner room, I had to be checked thoroughly by the security at the doors and the moment I gained access, I was welcomed into the smoke filled atmosphere.Beside the window, seve
Jaxon had other plans in mind, rather than going back home immediately, he began to strategize in his mind how he was going to deal with Alex. If I am going to fight this as dirty as Alex is doing, he thought to himself. I'm going to have to go the extra mile and that meant revisiting my inner demons once again.After minutes of driving, I arrived at a shopping complex which had long been deserted and has been put to other use. I made my way down to the back of the shopping complex and stepped inside. There was a lot of music going on, but the moment I stepped in the music stopped and all eyes were on me . Everyone in the room kept staring at me and that was because I hadn't been here in a very long while."Look who's back? The prodigal son himself!" I looked up to see Evans coming down the stairs with a glass of wine in his hands."Nice to see you too, Evans. You have surely added some meat." Jaxon’s comment would leave Snicker of laughter across the room from everyone."
The alarm went off and I rolled over to the side of the bed, placing my hands on Ayla’s warm body. The latter hummed in satisfaction as the sweet morning scent of her husband hit her nostril.I was glad that I could finally wake up every day to Ayla by my side and while I didn't know what to expect in this marriage, it had turned out to be quite amazing.The sun rose through the curtain, giving the room a warm golden light. I rose up from the bed and grabbed my schedule book, skimming through the content. "Babe... I have to get to work." I said, realizing I had a special meeting with the board of directors at the consortium. I had been able to establish an empire that would be the pride of the entire country and half the population of the world as well. "I thought we would spend more time together?" Ayla muttered through the sheets."I know, but you need to understand that today's meeting is important." Ayla rose from the bed, her hair messier than usual, due to their intimacy
When I arrived at the slated restaurant, it was already minutes late and I hated the fact that the weather was cold. I looked around the whole place and found Lisa seated at a corner, with the menu card in her hands."I was beginning to think that you wouldn't make it Jaxon." Lisa said, the moment I took a seat. "Let's get straight to the point.” I demanded, but Lisa waved her hand making me stop what was about to say. “How about we act like civil humans and order meals and eat....think of it more like a date." Lisa said."I am not here for any of your stupid mind dates. I came here to give you a note of warning. That stunt you came to pull at my house yesterday, shouldn't repeat itself again” I warned. Lisa rolled her eyes and leaned back into the chair, staring at me unfazed by my threats. “My heart is pained each time I realize that the only wrong I probably have done against you was loving you. Can't you see it?" Lisa asked, a hurt accompanying her statement.
It's been a really hot day and the house was warm when he got home,so he turned on the air conditioner in the sitting room and headed to the bedroom to have a change of clothing.It's been a long day, and he needed to get some rest. He went into his room to change into something casual,he was pissed to see the whole place messed up. He wondered why Polly didn't clean up the place.He bent down to pick up the pillows and just then noticed something a bit unusual,Polly's slippers were in front of his bathroom ... .that was strange as she never uses his bathroom. Something doesn't add up here,he thought to himself as he made his way slowly to the bathroom and opened the door gently.The shower was running and it appeared that someone was having their bath. The moment he opened the door, he let out a loud cry at the scene before his eyes.Polly's lifeless body in the bathtub….she appeared to have been drowned by someone. He didn't know what to do, looking around for anything or clue tha
I was surprised by how horrified she looked. It was clear that whatever was going on in her mind regarding Lisa, must have brought back terrible memories for her."I just need information regarding her whereabouts. I need to know that she is okay." I lied through my teeth. I noticed the woman looking everywhere and then leaned forward to my side, apparently with the intent to tell him something. "Lisa was a crazy girl. When we discovered an anomaly with her, we had to transfer her to the hospital, where she was given a therapist to stay with." I froze for a second. It was no wonder she acted strange. I thought to myself."Can I know where this therapist lives?" I asked and almost immediately, the woman pulled her phone out and looked through the contact and handed it over to him."That's her number." She revealed and I copied the contact on my phone, thanked the woman and left the building.The moment I got to my car, I noticed my phone ringing and it was Ayla . "H
I wasn’t naive. I knew very well that Lewis wouldn’t be able to get out of this mess without me. It seemed he had made the mistake of angering Alex and at least, I was able to help him. Even if it meant giving up my own freedom.I didn't know why I was being this nice to the same man who had abandoned me so many times when I needed him…. he was like a brother and I felt somewhat responsible for him.“I… I want my brother safe,” I began to speak after a moment's pause. “I want to see him leave alive and for your men to never go after him again.”“And in return, you’ll take my offer,” he mused. I nodded and the smirk on Alex’s face widened. “That’s a deal,” he responded, his tone final. I felt a little bit of relief, even though my heart pounded in my chest.Then, his hand snaked up my arm and I gasped at how warm his palm was on my cool skin. Up my arm, to my shoulder and then, resting on my delicate neck. Alex’s eyes still didn’t leave mine and I felt beholden by it.
