Chris POV

" Congratulations, Mr Christopher. We have gone through the documents and we like what we have seen, so we have agreed to sign the contract with your company. It's our pleasure to partner with you. We look forward to greater achievements and a profitable partnership with you."

I smiled. Finally, after throwing tantrums at Jace about why he brought me there when I had a date with Joanna, I and the Japanese company agreed and signed the partnership contract.

It's a win for me. Now my company will keep growing at its pace without interruptions from other competitive companies. My tech company remains one of the leading tech companies. Now I can return and have fun with Joanna as much as I want.

" What time is my flight?" I asked Jace, Im was sure he must have been tired as I repeatedly ask him the same question.

" Did anyone call from home?" I asked hoping he w

Slowly, I got attracted to her though I'm not sure if I'm head over heels for her yet.She didn't smile brightly like she did earlier, and I guess something must be troubling her, I ruled out mind reading as it would mean trespassing boundaries...

So I trusted him when he said that he had something important to take care of, instinctively I knew that he had something to take care of and didn't ask him what he had done.I was tempted to ask him what it was at some point when he was driving us home but I had to leave it to him. I didn't get a hold of him like we were not officially committed to each other, I was just a partner he uses when he feels like making out.I don't force people to come into my life and I don't beg them to stay so Chris wasn't an exception. I didn't know how hurt Yolanda was until she yelled at me in the hospital and when she spoke angrily and out of breath with Chris when we were in the car I thought she was okay with the way I was with Chris but within she was pained even when she was the one to convince me to go out with Chris.He didn't seem suspicious but I felt an energy, something I have neve

I looked around for Yolanda but she was not in the room, after eating dinner we went to sleep in the same room as Yolanda rarely sleeps in a different room when she is with me. I went out to look for her, I was still shuddering in fear and my hands and feet were cold. I found her watching a movie, I tiptoed to where she was and sat next to her without her being able to notice when I walked into the living room to sit next to her. When she turned and saw a figure sitting next to her in the darkroom she could not decipher that it was me, she screamed her life out without realizing how wrong she was because she was controlled by the effect of the horror she was watching and it took much scrambling to put on the lights before she could stop screaming." I'm sorry that you got scared. I should have put on the light but did not want to distract you." I apol

As immortal creatures, we are never allowed to interfere in the life of the mortals even on matters concerning life and death no matter how pitiful it looked and for that very reason, we were severed from the power of raising the dead.Back when I was in the spirit realm I often watch innocent babies, children, pregnant women and even teenagers that were not worthy of death die pathetically and we were never allowed to save them from the hands of death.Since the day I stepped my feet on the mortal realm, I have witnessed death from the couples that took care of me and Axen to my neighbours, friends and even a passerby that got hit by a truck while crossing the same road.I crossed a few seconds away yet I have not for once in my years of living among me

Anyway, who cares about that now?Slowly, I dragged myself up. My feet were shaky and I've lost the hours I had being bounded and left here to perish or await whatever judgement. A Ginn was outside watching my every move inside, I threw a glance at him and noticed that he had been distracted... Perfect!I sneaked to where he was and slid my hands through the bars trying to get the keys from the other side, but at the instant, I found myself at a strange place covered in ice with hot coals dripping at intervals."Where am I?" I asked hoping to get an answer from whoever it could be. Lately, a whole lot has been happening and I can't seem to wrap my head around them."You're at where you should be." A voice replied to my question.I turned around to meet an enchanting being, "And you are?" I asked quite stunned."It seems y

    Joanna's POVI found myself in a maze with mirrors reflecting my image the very moment my eyes jerked open in a strange place. I've only heard of this kind of place once, though not vividly, but somehow the description was just like this. I've read about it in a journal I retrieved from the attic in the orphanage I stayed. I was stranded standing in the middle of nowhere with nothing to get a clue of where I was except mirrors and my reflection, I looked around hoping to find a way out of the maze.Then suddenly, a chilling voice spoke up, "Why are you judging yourself when you did nothing wrong?"I turned to the direction of the voice, it came from the mirror behind me, and it was my reflection, the spitting image of me. She was adorned with everything alluring, while I looked tattered like an abandoned child."Excuse me?" I said, stepping backwards as it kept approaching me. The image had left the mirror and was walking towards me now."Fear not! We're one." It said."I don't under

Seated in glamour were the twenty-four elders council each robed in their finest apparel with straight faces and lips ready to condemn.Joanna and Axen were left at the threshold while I sat on the second high table, it's been ages since I sat among the elders of the council. It is a norm to gather like this when there's a serious matter in the Ginn's realm and other times are just for formalities.There was a terrific silence while a golden clock the only source of sound kept ticking lazily on the wall. I glanced at the two ladies on the threshold, shot a look at the senior ranking elder of the council and then cleared my throat to disturb the silence."What is this impromptu meeting about?" I asked.They all looked at each other in the "Why is he asking us that" kind of look. The senior ranking elder cleared his throat and started."We called this urgent meeting because the law we made and agreed on has been broken." He

I did as he said grudgingly and left them alone to sleep.Axen left in the morning before I could wake up to see her. I walked into the living room to see Chris focused on a book, "Good morning, Chris." I greeted and moved to get a glass of milk."It's not morning now," Chris replied. "Oh. What time is it?" I asked nonchalantly."It's past noon," He replied stealing a glance at me."What?! Don't tell me I slept all through till now?" I said. It was a rhetorical question, but Chris replied."Yeah, you did."My jaw dropped. That's incredible because I can't remember being stressed, still I had to sleep through the day."So, you just got back from work?"

How could he choose to seduce me this way? I swallowed my saliva, walking closer to where he sat like I was spellbound."Why do you look petrified like you've just seen a ghost?" Chris asked.Damn... That sexy baritone voice makes me fall harder each time. My stomach tightened, my heart racing sending signals to every nerve in my body. Somehow, I wanted to throw up."What's wrong with me?" I mumbled still dragging my feet to the seat.I felt hot suddenly, my face flushed a couple of times. Somehow, I wanted to grab that body and do things for him. Whatever I'm feeling right now is strange because I've never felt this way around him."What is wrong with you, pumpkin cherry?" He asked gazing at me.My heart skipped thrice in a second, "What did you just call me?" I asked him."Don't you like it?" He asked and gave me a wi

The truth is every time I think of how fragile Joanna is, it makes me stand on my toes.Exactly why I was restless when I could not find Joanna in her room. Not until she returned twenty minutes after I arrived only to tell me sad news which involved her best friend. "Pardon me for making you wait that long, Mr Chris." The doctor in charge of Joanna said as he walked in interrupting my thoughts."I did not wait for too long, Doctor Charles. I heard you were in the operating room... How did the surgery go?" I asked.

    Joanna's POV"I know who you are..." She whispered to my ear, and I looked back at her trying not to show how startled I was. I straightened up after recovering from the shock of her raising a knife at me. Axen sheathed the knife she held in her pocket with her upper lips curved in a smile of triumph."Poor thing, whimpering for dear life... I won't kill you at once, I'll torture you to death for stealing what belongs to me." She said"I didn't steal anything from you, Axen," I replied walking back to my bed to recover from the shock. "You should have known your place, you beast!" She shrieked. "I didn't chase after Chris, he came running to me and pleading for a chance which means you were never in his line of options," I replied bluntly." This is my final warning to you, bitch." Axen warned pointing her fingers at me.I raised my middle finger at her making her face redder in fury, "I should be the rightful person warning you to know your place else, you'll regret your actions."
