Everything happened within the blink of an eye, that all who heard the story found it hard to believe. The people whispered throughout the city, just how unbelievable the situation was. Just recently she had lost her husband to the law and today, Leia had gone mad, it was a juicy topic for everyone.As everyone gathered before the Sky cooperation escorting the army of medics as they restrained Leia, Leia was on a rampage. "Let me go, let go of me, I don't want you touching me…," she screamed non-stop while the cameras and light flashes before her eyes. "I want to see my husband, where's my husband, I want my child and my husband," she continued. At the hearing of a child, the journalist went crazy. They press their recorders forward, hoping to get a bit more juice out of Leia when another set of sirens flood the area. "Alright, everybody back away," they say, forming a barricade around the ambulance. The chief officer walks out from his car, and makes his way towards Claire. "
Her head was throbbing by the time she got up. Her vision, still unsteady, began to get better by the second, as she felt her body push violently back and forth. Thud!Small bright lights flashes before her eyes, a torch light it seems. Desperate to protect her eyes which have only recently begun to clear she covers her face when two large hands reach out and pull her. "Wait…!" Is all she can shout as they pull her out. Her legs unable to keep up slips, and she falls to the ground, grazing her beautiful skin. "Glad to see you made it, I was getting worried and thought you lost it," she hears Mark say to her. "Enough talking," Leia says, as she dusts herself, standing up from the dusty ground. A small cut appears on Leia's legs as she gets up, and it so happens to catch Mark's eyes. With a terrifying gaze, Mark glances over at the person guilty of the crime and nods to someone behind him. As the man walks forward, Mark takes Leia by the back and gently leads her away. His la
Confused, Leia tilts her head as she stares back at him, "Excuse me?" She questions but Mark's face was drawing too close to hers. "I can remember how you'd wrap your arms around me so I can call you by that name," his hands begin to trace around her back as he rests his head upon her shoulders. "What made you change so much?" The words whisper in her ear, causing Leia to freeze. The two stand outside the elevator when Mark leaves her to summon the elevator. "What made me change so much?" She asks herself. For a brief second, she stands confused, replaying his question repeatedly in her head until she opens her mouth and says with a smile. "Nothing, I just grew up."Mark stares at her for a moment and rubs his jaw. He tilts his face side to side as he observes Leia's face making her uncomfortable, but then he beams brightly. "Well that's a better explanation," he answers, leading Leia inside the elevator. "I guess I can agree with that, after all, you and Kasen couldn't even
If anything, hearing this scumbag's idea was the biggest shocker she has received since she opened her eyes. Staring at Mark, she can tell that he's not joking in the very least, but the thought of being given to some criminal was just too much for her to stomach. "Don't you think you're going a bit too far?" She asks, but Mark laughs off her complaints as he heads to his room, Leia tailing from behind."I'm surprised to see you hesitate, it didn't used to be this way in the past Leia," Mark tells her. Leia rolls her eyes tired from explaining herself. With a deep sigh she repeats herself, just a little louder so he can't forget. "Again, I grew up, and I don't see a reason why I should do such work any more?" Abruptly, Mark spins around, caughting Leia off guard that she misses a step on the stairs. "Ah!" She gasps for air as she closes her eyes. The next thing she hears are chuckles as a warm hand rests upon her back. The laugh is more of a mockery that Leia began to conside
"I'll need some funds," Leia starts murmuring to herself.Her regret after realizing how broke she was irks her more. "Had I known better, I would have come with some extra cash," she scowls. Her attention diverts as soon as her cell phone comes on and she hurries to reach her contacts with it one name appears. There was no name no history, save the phone number lying in wait for Leia. Her heart begins to thump hard as she stares hard at the phone in her hand, debating on whether or not she should take the bold step and call the number. It isn't until after three minutes that she father's courage and does what she must. The phone rings loudly for a while, and Leia chomps off her finger in wait, pressing her phone against her ear. "Who?" A deep intimidating voice answers and Leia freezes. "I've got a lot of things to do, so I'd appreciate it if you don't waste my time, I'll hang up now" the voice tells her. "Wait!" There's a brief silence from both ends of the phone as Leia p
The environment is noisy with the sound of loud music echoing all around, loud enough to just make one go deaf, it’s a surprise anyone here can hear themselves, still, nothing beats the attention of men surrounding the strippers as they’re showered with money and attention. Mark, residing in a private lounge, stares at his iPad, grinning each minute accompanied by chuckles out of excitement, as he stares at his screen, paying no heed to the ladies fighting for his attention. “You seem pretty pleased,” a tall man with red tan skin nudges at him as he raises a glass of wine. Mark gently puts his phone away as he chuckles more. “Oh it’s nothing,” he answers, his eyes deviating back to his screen once more as he lies the phone on its front, “I just happened to have bought a pet.”“That’s unlike you Mark, you sure you are not hiding something from me, man?” The man persistently asks. There’s a long awkward silence as Mark reaches for his pocket and takes out a cigar as he lights. He
Get off!" Leia yells again, her hands lifting from the bed to push at Mark roughly by the shoulder.The man blinks at the struggling woman as he smiles widely, exposing his set of white teeth. "And here I thought you were asleep." He said with a smarmy grin. She knows too well that Mark was aware she wasn't asleep, and she finds his cheap trick stir with irritation and her face twisting with disgust before shoving him with more force."I SAID get off!." She hollers into his face. Mark winces at the noise but she can't tell he's enjoying himself. He reluctantly moves before the woman succeeds in making him go deaf.He pushes himself into a sitting position, watching as Leia immediately scrambles away from him and hunches herself into the headboard of the bed.He smiles at the furious expression on her face."I wonder if you were asleep or just pretending…. You know maybe you were awake and you didn't move because you liked what I was doing to y-.""Shut up!" She yells, cutting off Ma
Leia keeps her eyes on her feet as she heads down the stairs. She can feel the prickling sensation that comes with watches but she ignores it, after all, this wouldn't be the first time she was doing something like this. Her eyes are on the road as she cautiously walks, as if to attract more attention, while her shape in the dress seduces the eyes behind. None of their gazes affected her, as she would rather focus on her 4-inch shoes to avoid tripping. She finally reaches downstairs and reluctantly accepts Mark's offer by hand to come down."You look splendid," he whispers close to her ear and her neck starts to tingle from his hot breath. Given the goosebumps, she has to force herself not to gag at Mark's words while she notices that his eyes haven't stopped staring since she walked down the stairs. She doesn't reply to his words as she is led outside where they have a sleek car waiting.Mark upon noticing her silence swallows his words as he holds open the door for Leia who lo
Leia clung to Opal, her body trembling as tears streamed down her face. Her friend lay in her arms, pale and fading, her life slipping away with each passing moment. The atmosphere seemed to close in around them, as if walls were pressing in on them, bearing witness to the tragedy that had unfolded.Amidst her heart-wrenching sobs, Leia's tear-blurred eyes rose to meet the gaze of the man who had just tried to take her life. It was the big boss, his face bruised and battered, his trousers stained with blood. He regarded Leia with disdain, his lip curled into a cruel sneer. He pointed the gun at her once more, his voice laced with a chilling determination."Second time's a charm," he hissed, his finger tightening on the trigger.Leia's world seemed to freeze at that moment. She closed her eyes, expecting the deafening gunshot to be the last sound she would ever hear. Death felt imminent, a crushing weight that pressed upon her chest.But then, the sound she heard was not the gunshot sh
Kasen and Leia stood in the dimly lit, small brick-walled room, their hearts pounding in their chests. The air was thick with tension, and the sound of trickling water echoed through the enclosed space, a chilling reminder of their predicament. Leia's eyes darted around, desperately searching for an escape route, but there were no windows, no doors, just cold, damp stone walls that seemed to be closing in on them. Her breaths came in short, panicked gasps as the water steadily crept up from cracks. She couldn't swim, and the rising water terrified her. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she began to cry. She sniffled a sob, trying to control her emotions. Kasen, determined to keep them both calm, reached out and gently touched Leia's shoulder. "Hey, Leia, listen to me," he said, his voice steady but laced with concern. "We need to stay calm and think this through. Panicking won't help us." Leia nodded, though her tears continued to flow. Kasen helped her press her back against t
Mark's eyes cracked open slowly, adjusting to the sterile, white surroundings of the hospital room. His head throbbed with pain, and every movement sent waves of discomfort through his body. He tried to remember how he had ended up here, but the events leading to this moment were a blur.As his vision cleared, Mark noticed two police officers standing by his bedside, their faces stern and unwavering. They were ready to question him, to unravel the web of events that had led to this tumultuous situation.Before they could begin their interrogation, the door to the hospital room swung open, and Kasen entered, his expression sombre. He walked over to the police officers and said something in a hushed tone. They nodded and reluctantly left the room, leaving Mark alone with Kasen.Mark tried to sit up, but the pain in his body made him wince. "Kasen, what's going on?"Kasen pulled up a chair and sat down, his gaze fixed on Mark. "I'll just talk to the inspector, it won't take long," he sai
The smell of gunpowder filled the air as bullets continue to whisk past them. Opal dove into the ground, escaping some shots merely by luck. "Retreat! Take cover!" She yelled, realising that in their current position, they could stand toe to toe against Mark's men.As they rushed backwards, a bullet sunk into the shoulders of one of Opal's men, ten impact making him to fall face down and roll. Opal quickly hopped over a rock, finding cover behind it as she rested her back against it, her chest heaving with exhaustion. She retrieved her gun and reloaded it, holding it tight with both her arms as she prepared for anything."Opal! I'm here, come out and fucking face me!" His voice resonated through the air, meeting her ears. He sounded like he was close, she wasn't sure how close, but close enough. Closer than he should be.She takes in a deep breath, "Fuck off!" She yelled back, hoping to deter him."Face me you coward!" He spat, his voice laced with anger."No!" She replied, her tone m
Mark and Leia had been running for what felt like hours, their breaths ragged and their hearts pounding. They had stumbled upon this cave in a desperate bid to escape the clutches of the big boss and his relentless henchmen. Now, as Leia rested her back against the damp, rocky wall, her chest heaved with exertion. The darkness of the cave enveloped them, offering a sliver of safety in an otherwise perilous situation.Outside, the big boss had ordered his patrol to scour the area, leaving no stone unturned in their search for his fugitives. The tension in the cave was palpable as Mark and Leia strained their ears for any signs of pursuit."So what now?" Leia asked. "They're after us."Mark sighed, knowing that what she was saying was true. "I don't know. Maybe we can wait it out in this cave," he replied.Just then, Mark's sharp eyes caught a flicker of movement at the cave entrance. He nudged Leia, and she froze, her fear mirroring the uncertainty in his eyes. The henchman who had jus
Although they had gone far, much farther than they could imagine, Mark's fears still caught up with him as he constantly turned back to look of her was safe from harm or not. Luckily he was with his phone as he speed dialed for back up, he couldn't wait any longer and it was times to put his plans into actions. "Everyone will pay he murmurs to himself out of anger. He couldn't possibly tane note of all those who had wronged him but there were a considerable amount that he remembers and couldn't wait to get his hands upon, one of them was his dearly most beloved cousin. Finally he reaches his safe place the place he had agreed upon to meet with his mean I'm order to get things in order. Everything was far behind but he could still see the flames from afar and Leia still choking from having inhaled a huge amount of it was coughing repeatedly to his disappointment. Finally he makes a turn and has Leie get down as they would continue the rest of their journey on foot, and Leia althou
Leia's breath could hardly breathe as she gasps for air repeatedly, her resistance knows no bounds as Mark couldn't help but fear, still he couldn't let her loose because he knows what she's capable off. She struggles against the restraints binding her to the ornate bed frame to the point where she had begun to bleed due to the injury on her wrist. Mark couldn't help but feel guilty as he found no one but himself responsible for her behaviour. Her eyes flickered with a wild, haunted look as they darted around the dimly lit room. "Let me go, let me go right now you madman, just you wait, I'll kill you as soon as I get away from here!" She promises Mark much to his fear. He couldn't possibly believe the words coming out of her mouth and feared the worst. Now she's become dangerous to both herself and himself. Mark stood at a cautious distance, not knowing what to do, his eyes filled with a mix of concern and fear. "Please calm down Leia, everything is going to be fine, I'll get yo
It took more than a while to calm Leia down as she would continuously try to wiggle her way out until she was finally subdued by Mark and fell asleep. Everything looked like hell for Mark wouldn't couldn't help but hope for the best to happen as it pained him to see Leia in this pathetic state, so much so that he refused to leave her bedside when she fell asleep.Everything was a disaster at this point and he just couldn't take it anymore. "Boss," his subordinate called for his attention. Mark couldn't help but feel irritated and yet he couldn't simply ignore their request as he knows that there's more to this interruption. With a heavy sigh he rises from the chair and follows them outside to hear what it is that they have to say. His men look rather worries while he was getting angry and the mere thought that they refuse to speak after calling him out. "Are you mute, hurry up and say something," he yells at them. Finally one of them volunteers to do the talking to which he appr
Despite his happiness, Mark's worst fears were about to become a reality. He dashed through the hallway, shoving whoever dared get in his way as he hurried for Leia's room."Is she okay, how is she, is she in good shape, is it something serious?" Mark suddenly questions in a rush. He couldn't wait, especially not after waiting two days already for either of the ladies to wake up. His joy at the moment knows no bounds as he hurries to enter into the bedroom, the only stopping him is the doctor in his way. "Should I kill him?" Mark questions himself while he stares at the frightened woman who seems to repeatedly block each route he tries to take. "For god sake Mr. Sky you have to calm down," the woman yells. He couldn't possibly believe his eyes and eyes as he stared at the puny woman who seemed to lack a lot more flesh than Leia had. "It'll just take one twist and she'd probably pass on," he tells himself as she stares at her, examining what to do about this sudden disturbance.
