Hikaru immediately turned towards the door but it was not unclogged yet, so that meant the person who shot Freed was...he gasped loudly as he immediately turned only to find Mystique on her feet with a gun on her shaky grip but she was falling as the gun fell out from her hand but luckily, Hikaru was fast as he caught her before she landed on the floor. He shook her but Mystique was now completely unconscious, blood rushing out from between her legs, tears slipped out from his eyes as he held her close to his chest, waiting for someone to find them and soon, the door was blasted opened and there stood was none other than Damien Martinez dressed in all black, his hair was disarrayed and his eyes was bloodshot, completely animal-like and hanging low on his hand was a katana sword dripping with blood.
"Help" Hikaru cried out and that was when the beast's gaze landed on an unconscious Mystique, lying unconsciously in a young boy's arms, both were in
She stared, she blinked, she watched the white cell, she gulped but the rest of her body felt numb. Anger, shock, denial, guilt, fear, she couldn't tell the extra emotion. Her chest was clenched, her stomach felt tighten, her head ached, her head felt explosive but her body felt numb, her ears were dead to the world, the only thing visible in her world was that pale white wall, she blinked suddenly feeling her mouth dry, she felt nausea and a hollow feeling in the stomach. Suddenly, everything stopped making sense. She lost her little one, her ball of light and it was all her fault, Mystique suddenly laughed out, catching her treating nurse off guard as she jerked a bit but then she was back to the way she was, unfeeling, without sensation and unmoving, just numb. Not too long, Bell and Mr. Eddard walked in through the door but Mystique was staring past them, gazing at the white stainless wal
"I know you must be very disappointed in me, I didn't take care of Mystique enough based on the kind of man I am," Damien said with depression. "You are right, am disappointed but it isn't entirely your fault, Madam Appa is a cunning woman and anyone would fall for traps" Mr. Eddard shook his head before standing on his feet. "Come meet me later, I think it's time we have a chat together. For now, am leaving my niece in your hands, I want this to be the last time I would visit her in the hospital because of you, trust me you won't like me when am mad" he palmed him on the shoulder encouraging him before walking out from the room, Bell stood up and silentlyshadowed him, wanting to give the couple some space. Damien sighed turning his gaze back to Mystique with a determined face. "I will make all of them pay, it's time for action" *~* Slowly, her eyes fluttered and the firs
Fling off his upper coat, Damien wadded up the sleeves of his shirt to his elbows, his black pants hanging perfectly on his waist and his feet were covered with well-polished black leather shoes. His feet were clangorous, hefty steps echoing throughout the building as he walked towards his secret basement. It's about time he played a little. Reaching the lowest floor of his mansion, one of his men guarding the door opened it for him and he ostentatiously made his way in. Archer and Ichabod were waiting for him with a chair between them and a little table that had his tools. Elegantly, he sat himself down, three empty chairs a few meters before him. "Bring them in" he ordered in a deep husky and grim voice. Without wasting any second, the door opened and three of his men walked in with three other people, a sack over their heads and a rope tied tightly around their wrist from behin
She tilted her head. "Let me guess, he is the mastermind behind my kidnapping" Mystique articulated cold-blooded, nearly sending shivers down Damien's spine. "Mystique, I can ex-explain...!" Renley blabbered, sweats dripping from his forehead and his throat making a gulping sound. "Explain what, explain the fact that you sent those men after me just so you could save me and I would believe you were a kind man helping a helpless soul!" Mystique suddenly raised her voice, making most around him jerk in fright. "It's not his fault you are stupid enough to fall for our little tricks, your denseness made you lose your child, deal with it, don't blame us for your imbecility!" Ashley spatted but Mystique smirked, her eyes suddenly displaying madness as She slowly rose from Damien's thighs, went over to the little table that had all kinds of torturing tools, she picked one up, twisting it between her f
Slowly, she pushed the glass doors and she stepped her foot in but stopped as a lump solidified in her throat. She inhaled and exhaled, composing herself from panicking. With one finally intake of breath, she pushed the doors wider and strolled in, the brightness of the room nearly dazzling but she didn't care as her attention was on the demised body lying on the bed, attached with machines to breathe, she gulped feeling a sudden tightness in her chest. Was this her fault...? Of course, it was, everything was her fault. Not only did she lose her child, but Harriet was also fighting for her life and it was all because of her, because of her innocent, naive ways. Taking baby steps, she stopped beside the bed where the other person laid lifelessly, only the sound of the monitor was there to indicate she was still alive, struggling to make it to the land of the living. Harriet, a lady she was used to seeing every
"Move away!" Mystique ordered, trying to keep her voice as nice and calm as she could but the man found her threat jesting as he burst out laughing. "Damien's little slut is tough, I like that. I wonder how tough you'll be when I have you tied to my bed, screaming beneath me as I po..." His sentence was left halfway as Mystique's landed a fist on his nose, making it bleed, she smirked in satisfaction. "I am no one's whore asshole!" She spatted, kicking the man in his stomach and he ended up falling on the ground, wailing and moaning in pain. "You price of shit!" The man cursed. "What did you say?" Just when Mystique was about to give him another kick in the guts, Damien came out. "What's going on here?" Damien asked signaling the two men walking behind him and they rushed forward, putting the man on his feet, Damien didn't fail to notice the cunning smirk playing on Mys
Reaching the front gates of her uncle's house, the car came to stop. Mystique sighed for the nth time since she left Damien's mansion. "Are you not going to tell me what that person is planning?" Mystique couldn't help but ask Archer who happened to be her driver. "The boss knows what he is going on, whatever he does now is to protect you and the future" Archer answered in a steely tone, Mystique was taken back by how hard and emotionless his voice sounded which gave her more hint that whatever Damien was happening was not good. "I am not a child that needs protecting!" Mystique spatted and was about to leave when Archer's voice stopped her. "Don't leave the house, our men are watching your every move" said Archer, staring at the other through the glass mirror. Mystique scoffed. "Does your boss know you are treating me like a criminal, I know you blame me for what happe
Theo came out from his little kitchen with a cup of coffee and placed it on the little table before Mystique, who had been quite nice she arrived, Theo didn't know what to do but offer her a cup of coffee though he could tell the other person did not come to his house just for coffee, he wasn't even sure if his coffee was good or not, he stopped making that stuff years ago. "What do you want?" Theo started in a calm manner seeing how the other wasn't ready to speak yet. "I want the truth, the full story of everything that happened years ago, the story that put all of us into this mess" Mystique voiced out instantly, gazing up at the other person, Theo could see the determination in her eyes and he knew Mystique wouldn't be leaving till she got what she wanted. "Does Damien know you're here? Am sure he doesn't trust me enough to allow his lover to come to visit me at my place, that means you sneaked out but do you r

Unconsciously she smiled as a warm sensation raced through her. Still, with her eyes closed, she held the soft pillow tightly but instead of softness, she was met with a hard yet soft and warm surface.Since when did her pillow become this hard yet so warm and comfortable. Unconsciously, her hands moved on their own, tracing everywhere just to make sure it was her pillow."Keep touching me and you'll regret it" a deep husky voice rang in her ears and her eyes jerk opened and instantly met the orbs of her husband of almost a year now.Mystique consciously smiled as she moved closer to that warmth that was raging from the other person. "Good morning" she uttered in a low soft tone as she slowly shut her eyes but the other person didn't buy it as he suddenly hovered over her which made Mystique open her eyes. "What," she asked lazily with fluttering eyes."I want you!" Damien burst out gazing down
"Damien?!" Mystique called with uncertainty in her voice and her breath immediately got caught in her throat and when the person before her took off his hoodie from his head, finally revealing his identity, Mystique nearly lost her balance but she held herself steady with the couch.Then she burst out laughing at her misfortune as tears gathered in her eyes and her heart pound faster than it had ever done before. She immediately placed a hand over her chest and clenched tightly."Are you alright?" Damien asked worriedly taking a step forward but Mystique held her palm out, stopping him on his tracks."Shut up, you are just another one of my nightmares, just my imagination again" she uttered to herself with her eyes shut tightly."But Mama, you are not dreaming," Dean said as he ran to Damien, slipping through her hands who tried to catch him."Dean, come back here. That's not you
"Dean, who is at the door!?" Mystique's loud voice came from the inside."Daddy?!" The young child passed with uncertainty but when the man outside his doorstep lifted his head and gazed into his eyes that bared so much familiarity, Little Dean's heartbeat fastly beneath his chest and he slammed the door shut.Mystique came out from the kitchen with a towel wiping her hands clean to find her son standing there with his back pressed against the door, his hand clenched tightly on his chest while he stared blankly as if he had just encountered a ghost outside his doorstep."Dean, what is it, who is at the door?" Mystique asked worriedly seeing her son's actions as she advanced."He's at the door!" The young boy muttered to himself."Who is at door?" Mystique grilled again as she was now standing in front of him."Daddy" The boy revealed in a whisper and Mystique
Through the years, everything the Miller's owned had been transferred to Mystique and Damien's wealth and his family wealth had also be transferred to her name, one could say she was bathing with money but being unfit to look after two companies, Archer and Harriet' because the temporary owners till Mystique was ready to take responsibility which would take a whole lifetime. "I'm surviving Harriet" Mystique replied after a few seconds of silence. Harriet sighed and threw her hands up in the air in frustration. "Jesus Mystique, you are a lost case!" Silently, Mystique moved around with the baby, and then, Bell, V, Liam, and Hikaru walked in and Mystique's eyes immediately met the sorrowful ones of Bell who was another lost case, another lost soul as Theo also never made it out from that fire. "Bell" Mystique acknowledged her best friend. "Mystique" T
"The shut down of AL Group of Companies has been a mystery and shock to the public as the sudden disappearance of the Martinez's had also been a big blow and after so many years, The CEO of AL companies, Appa Alice Martinez has been declared dead by the police in a fire after a careful investigation while the disappearance of Damien Martinez remained unknown....!""Dean, switch off that television this minute!!" a loud voice shouted from a distance and five tiny fingers immediately grabbed the remote control and turned off the TV, and laid down on the large couch while hugging a teddy bear tightly to his chest and shut his eyes, pretending to be asleep as the clicking sound of footsteps could be heard and soon, a young lady came out from the hall with a little girl in her arms.The girl giggled at the kid lying on the couch as the man put her down and scrolled over to the couch."Dean?" She called in a warning tone and t
While the five men carried Archer, Harriet, Ichabod, and V on their backs and ran out, Bell and Hikaru struggled to pull Mystique away from Damien's cold body but she held him even more tightly, refusing to let go, wanting to join him as she wept and wailed to go with her lover.Finally being able to take hold of himself, Liam joined them as they were finally able to pull her away and dragged her out from sight while her cries got louder and louder by the minute.But Theo remained as he stood quietly in front of his mother before squatting down to her level as she laid on the floor struggling to breathe as she pants while her entire right arm was gone.She gazed up at him, her breathing began to come out slowly as her eyes suddenly softened at the sight of her son, her eyes showing an emotion he had never seen in his entire existence, something she lacked for so many years, the affection that only a mother could di
Please vote and comment.*~*"This is taking way too long" Madam clasped her hands together, following the locale with avidness. How congenial. She giggled internally.Damien unflinchingly stared at his once hobnobber directly into his eyes, trying to make out if this was one of those frivolous escapades they typically played at the last minute whenever their mission didn't go as planned but as he gazed intensively, he found nothing as he only saw lividity, contrition, execration, and anguish.Damien sighed inwardly as he realized how devitalizing this game was but he was determined to end it with or without Benvolio."Goodbye, Damien!" He enunciated as he slowly pulled the trigger when halted his movements when an obstreperous voice ejaculated."STOP!!" A voice unanticipatedly exclaimed and they turned in a time as Mystique ran and stood beside Damien
The more listened, the more her eyes felt like they wanted to pop out from her socket, the more her heart pound loudly beneath her chest, the more thousands of layers formed and doubled in his stomach. She gulped painfully but the lump that had formed in her throat refused to be gulped down and finally the recording came to an end and she was immediately upon her feet, forgetting that fact that she was still in her sleeping pajamas as she dashed for the door but Bell immediately caught her wrist, preventing her from escaping."Let me go Bell. It's a trap, she's gonna kill him" she said helplessly as her eyes sparkled with tears wanting to stream down her face so badly."He knows that but judging from the map, they had everything planned out" Bell assured him but Mystique shook her head as she didn't feel assured one bit.Finally, a single teardrop slipped out from his eyes. "This is Appa Alice Martinez we are talking abo
