"Boom, I got the location." Mike rubbed his hand with satisfaction. Only then, did Alec feel a ray of hope.There were some hope right? A little smile formed at the corner of his lips."What now?" Mike asked, shrugging his shoulders with low esteem."We have to get to the location you idiot." Alec ran to his car and got inside. In a fit, he started the engine and drive off immediately.Mike who was distracted stared with widened eyes, and ran after the car. "Hey, this is not fair, wait for me," He ran as his legs could carry him.Ten minutes later, they were at an uncompleted building, the whole reeked of nothing but alcohol.Alec opened the door and stepped out of the car, he covered his nose and stared around.Mike arrived at the area, he wiped his the layer of sweat, and stared his around."Jeez. This place stinks," Mike said with a frown emitted on his face.Alec stared around. His fist making a ball. "Blood will spill tonight," He stared at the night sky suddenly muttering in som
"You can never escape this way," The stranger yelled. Suddenly, a loud siren sounded everywhere.Bommm. The door creaked open and ten huge men came in, their balls unto a fist."No, No, I can't do this," Mike shuddered behind Alec. His face glared with terror clear written everywhere."Be strong." Alec pushed him aside and gazed at the men."You wanna fight? sure, we will fight," His lips formed into a smirk.The huge bodied men smiled, they were ready for a right, they looked huge, probably they had been training for years now.Immediately, they charged towards Mike and knocked him down, causing Mike to blank away.Alec scoffed internally, "What a weak Mike!"He then rolled up his sleeves, and charged towards them.He grabbed the hand of one, and suddenly twisted his hand in a motion, the man fell on the floor immediately.Natasha watched in horror, as Alec took down all those guys one by one, in between a minute, cries of pain were heard all around the room, it was painful to one ea
Seeing her collapse, Alec rushed toward her immediately. Fear pounding all over his heart.For once in his life, he was worried. He was scared, scared of losing someone."Natasha, Natasha, come on wake up," He wriggled her body, expecting her to flutter her eyes open, but, no she didn't."Please Natasha, I beg you, just wake up," His eyes was teary. It was threatening to fall down like a dam.He gazed around the whole room, but, was surprised to see Mike flat on the floor. He also fainted too. Scoff. What a weakling.He had to do something, in a fit, he picked up Natasha in a bridal style, and walked outside. He opened his car, and dropped her in.Mike would take care of himself, right?He started the engine and soon drove off to the hotel, he couldn't afford to go to the ball anymore. It was just not safe for him and Natasha, after knowing that they were trailing Natasha now.Alec sighed for a brief moment as he drove the car wheel, he was frustrated, he gazed at the back and Natash
"You can never escape this way," The stranger yelled. Suddenly, a loud siren sounded everywhere.Bommm. The door creaked open and ten huge men came in, their balls unto a fist."No, No, I can't do this," Mike shuddered behind Alec. His face glared with terror clear written everywhere."Be strong."

The bright morning rays shined brightly on Natasha's face, she snuggled with the pillow, trying to adjust herself from the ray of sunlight.But, as much as she tried, it was as if it wasn't working, her plans was abortive, thereby causing her to click her eyes open at once.She stared at the room, confused of where she was. Her head banged of yesterday's memory, what actually happened?She tried remembering, she was at the ball, she talked with Mike, She got in contact with Jace, and then, when she was going, she got knocked down by some men.Fear gripped her, her heart pounding loudly. What actually happened?And where is..... Alec?She gazed at the couch as was surprised to see him snuggled on the couch, why did he not sleep on the bed?She was scared, did she do something wrong? the bed made a creaking sound, as her feet touched the cold tile, she walked towards him slowly and tapped him on his shoulder.He looked peaceful as he slept, her breathing sleeping techniques was in great
Passerby couldn't help because but cringe their head and gaze at them. They were all worried. Some felt sorry for her while some just shrugged their shoulders and left immediately. The whole atmosphere was cringed, no sign of happiness, the sky turned blurred immediately, making the whole scent appear blur. Presently, Natasha held her cheek, the slap stinged her hard, compared to the numerous bruises on her face. For a moment, Alec was surprised, but, then, he confronted his sister. "Why would you do that?" He yelled at her, Alexis blinked her eye lids innocently, she waved her hands up in the air. "Did you just yell at me?" Her face turned red with complete anger. She turned towards Priya and tapped her mother's shoulder impatiently. "Mother, say something, Alec is overreacting nearly because I slapped his assistant, was I clearly wrong?" She yelled. Priya, undoubtedly was unusually quiet, she brought no motion to even say anything, she stared dazly, but, could only nod her hea
She was taken aback, that was what, her mouth was left agape, but, quickly, she twisted the door knob and hurriedly left.Alec smirked for a bit, before arranging the folders on the chair. "Cindy, there is something about you that's weird."**Nova wiped the sweat that formed in part of her forehead, as she sliced the carrots like a pro with the knife and chop board, honestly, this was the worst experience of her life, working as Edward's personal chef wasn't what she had actually expected. He was hardly home, and when ever he was, she was always informed to make his food. Thank goodness, she didn't live in the mansion.Edward was nice towards her, even though, she still acts like a guy, but, the guy he hired also, were worst. They were bullies."How are you doing chopping those carrots?" The guy in charge of the mansion said, strolling towards Nova."Noah, right?" He licked his lips."Yeah." Nova concentrated back on the carrots she was chopping, honestly, it was better not to interf
The twins ran to Natasha and embraced her warmly, she was soaked in the love, sweetly, she played with their hair and stared at her, pure love clearly written all over her face."I am back for good," She smiled heartily at her, before squeezing their hand, laughing.Nova watched from a distance, her heart being soaked in pure love, she had never seen the kind of display of love Natasha had for her kids.Maybe, one day she would have her own kids just like Niccy and Nikky, but when would that day come?Her mind trailed off to Edward, making a blush form in the corner of her cheek, why in the heck was she suddenly thinking about him?She tried all her best and pushed all his thoughts away, she dangled with the key in her hand and walked to wards Natasha."We can't stay outside for too long," She smiled heading towards the door, she twisted the key into its Hobe and opened the door."Let us get in." She said.Natasha and the twins got into the house, embracing the warmth the house had to

One year later,Thanksgiving day.The room smelt like any other thanksgiving room, roasted turkey, cream, salad and a bunch of people sipping wine. The dinner was about to start, and soon everyone was going to be saying what they were thankful for.Zoey recounted, she didn't even know where to begin, just one year ago, her life had changed ever so much. Perfectly well, it had gone along.Dexter came into her life, Rafael stumbled in, and oh, she didn't know how, but they both loved her daughter so much, well. Zara better get used to having two overprotective fathers.Miranda, Stella and Zoey have become quite the inseparable trio, having tea on Mondays, hitting the gyms, and gossiping about their husbands.Presently, Zoey was sprawled on the bed, her hands swiping through her phone, just waiting for it to be ringing, finally it chimed. She swiped it up immediately."Stella!" She beams, cheeks pink. "How's the baby moon going? Is Mexico alright?"Stella's voice sounded so angelic from
Two Months later."Zoey hurry! We don't want to be late for Sky's concert. Do we?" Stella yells from the bedroom, her gaze directed at the dressing room."Coming! Just trying to get the zipper on, damn, it's too hard!" Zoey yells back.Stella takes in a little giggle, and stares outside the room, the view is perfect, she could see the sun set even from here. She was having a giddy feeling today, but it didn't sum up her excitement.Today was Sky's first concert after his music block has been overcomed and he was singing his new song. People are flooding all over Los Angeles just to hear his voice, She, Zoey and the rest already got their tickets. She couldn't wait to see him sing after his music block. Excitement is washing over her. She can't wait.Zara enters the room, a smile on her face. "Aunt Stella!" She throws herself towards her."How was your night? Little Pumpkin?" Stella nudges her hair playfully, her hands moving to tickle her."It's fine." Zara scrunched her nose, before
Even though one week had passed and everything seemed to be moving well, Zoey still felt this urge: sinking and swimming through her, prompting her to see her mother in jail, so that's why early in the morning, she got into her Sedan and drove towards the lane."What do you want?" The receptionist barked at her, her face gruff, prison was not a good place, no doubt. It smelt of stale coffee, the place looks rugged, like criminals had been jacked into this place, struggling to get inside."I want to see my mother." Zoey made to speak again, but the angry looking woman waved her off."Sorry. Kid." The woman puffed her cigar in between her hands, "But visiting hours are over, if you would please return later, I am sure you would be entertained with whoever you want to meet."The woman is really rude, no doubt, but Zoey doesn't want to leave without seeing her mother. Sometimes, your name is very important, and if using that name would get her what she wants. Then, why the heck not?She
The whole room felt so small as Zoey ran past them, it was like oxygen was racking her spine as she counted the rooms. Her breath was short-lived, she could only pray under her breath."Zara!" She calls out, fear evident in her voice, the pain of losing her own daughter sends tears to her eyes. The hall was stretched out, too many rooms. The stairs looking back at her.She stopped at the living room, she could feel the throbbing in her head."Zara! Please come out. Please." She just stood there rooted, it was like the alarm was buzzing in her head: countdown, five, four..Sweat clanged the corner of her hair, she checked her father's study, it looked rather untouched. Her father's favorite novel, 'Rich man, poor man,' sat there elegantly on the table. Hope. It needled through her, then vanished into thin air. She called again, this time more loudly, perhaps her daughter might hear her. "Zara!" The room was eerily quiet.With lost hope, she just stood there, she would rather blow with
The next day came rather too quickly, and like her mother used to say when she was young: You just have to face it.So, when she sprang up from the bed, she kissed Dexter on the forehead gently before heading downstairs. Rafael was by the counter making cereal for her daughter while balancing a cup of coffee on one hand."Ready for the big day, huh?" He hands her a cup, while gently pouring the milk into the bowl, Zara watches with her eyes fluttering."It's funny how you made it sound so casual." Zoey says casually, everything has been planned, they are all meeting up in her father's house. Nova, her husband, Alec and his wife, Stella and Sky. Miranda was going to meet them there.Zara shoves her spoon into the bowl, her mouth full of corn flakes. "Mother. Can I come with you? Pretty please?""Yes. Dexter and I will get the car ready, why don't Rafael pick out your dress, okay sweetheart?"She nods and focuses on her food, just by staring at her daughter makes her heart swell, the on
In life, you could be either lucky or unlucky, but there's no such thing as luck or not luck, it's the chance we have, it's the choice we get that defines us, not our luck, that's why as Lin sat down, fiddling with the hemline of her gown, she recalled all the choices she had got to make, and one of them dealt with forgiving her husband, Asher.He was only being threatened, he just wanted to protect her. He loves her, that's why he wanted to protect, because for the person you love, you could go through extreme lengths just to make sure they were safe."Lin? Lin, are you listening to me?" Asher said, clutching the cup of coffee in one hand.She snapped out of her daydream, before staring around, waiting. What was he saying? She didn't even hear a thing."I was saying whether we should take the kids to Disneyland this year?" That was one thing she would always love about him, his ability to remember anything."But Mommy, we went to Disneyland last year!" Her seven year old daughter wai
Stella had imagined countless things in her life, but here she was. Seating opposite her parents with Sky by her side, this time. She wasn't scared, hope brimmed in her chest, because with him she felt strong, she felt like somebody."You want to date him?" Her mother said, under those lashes of hers, her words held some kind of deep warning, "What about Doctor Rodriguez?"Her father dropped the spoon on the plate, the metallic sound filling their eyes. "Stella dear. You can't go out with him. He's not for-""I didn't come here for your approval." Her tone sent them all warning, Sky placed his hand on her shoulder, his gaze, a reassuring one. He turned towards her parents."I am Sky. Well, I dated your daughter, until you threatened me to leave her, I fell in love with her, again. I fell hard, I am still falling for her. She makes me, she completes me. I love her so much."Neither of them blinked."And I am sorry, but you can't stand in the way of our love," He breathed in, "She helpe
Loud chattering filled the room, kids chasing each other, muttering words under their breath, some kids sprawled on the neat blue rug, playing with their toys.The kitchen linked to the living room, some adults were leaning against the island, each gripping a glass of wine. There's some muttering, no laughter here, just clear talking.Relax. Zoey's head throbbed, but she just couldn't. Dexter's hand was placed on hers, it was warm, at least that made her calm down a little, but still. She wanted to sprang up the seat, and protect those she loved, her mind reeled. To her mother's word, to Lin's words.Thankfully, Zara was talking to her cousin 'Damien', they seemed to be arguing though, but hey, it was her daughter."Everybody." Natasha clicked the glass, the whole room went silent. The kids stopped and turned to look at her, immediately she received the call, she didn't know what prompted her to call Natasha, Natasha was soothing on the other end, and they agreed to call a meeting.Li
