"Dad!" Leila yelled, "That isn't fair.""I think I am the fairest with you, darling."Leila stomped her feet on the floor and stalked out of the room after the unsuccessful attempt to get him to grant her the permission she needed.It was just like always, her father refusing to let her do what she wanted.He wouldn't let her even walk the distance from the entrance door to the huge gate without having Anthony, his loyal bodyguard and chief security officer follow her.She detested it. All she had ever wanted was her freedom. Yet, it seemed it wouldn't come anytime soon.Her father had freaking confined her in the house and didn't care about anything she wanted.Although he provided all that she wanted, he assumed that giving her everything was what she only needed.She wanted more.She wanted his attention. She wanted a father and daughter moment and she wanted her freedom as well.Leila wondered if she was being selfish to have wanted her freedom as her father always did what he was
Amused at how he addressed himself, Leila giggled. She found his sense of humour sexy and wondered if he often joked like that all the time.The truth was, Trevor Saint Williamson was dangerously handsome. The smile he was flashing her way was doing more than it should to her.Her body reacted to him and she didn't mind. She only wondered if he felt the same way as he would be the first man she'd desired even before knowing who he was.Trevor chuckled. Her thoughts were amusing even though that was how he affected all the women he had been with except one.A shadow crossed his face as he remembered her, the woman that had been invading his dream. The woman who felt nothing for him and had almost murdered him without a second thought.The woman he believed had disappeared from the surface of the earth...Trevor's eyes snapped to Leila as he felt her hands on him. He furrowed his brows, staring at her oval-shaped face."Don't you want me too?"She was too forward, but that was how he li
"So, is it a deal or no deal?" Silas tilted his head whilst moving around his vast living room.The living room he used alone in the mansion he stayed in."Deal."He let out a relieved sigh as he heard the deep voice at the other end."It should be done before 10 PM, you know we don't want anyone knowing," Silas said."No one would suspect a thing except you rat us out and it will be done smoothly. Be rest assured." The voice said again.Silas nodded, before hanging up.He didn't need to be present in the meeting being held at the moment. He was certain everything would go on smoothly without him.Although he trusted no one, he had little trust in his allies. They often did a great job in his presence and absence.Silas smiled briefly as the call ended and he stepped towards the bar.Life was a lot easier, he mused and imagined the vast fortune that would be his tomorrow.He couldn't wait for that to happen and he'd surely get the most out of it.**********Trevor groaned as he landed
"I saw Leila with you last night," Anthony said.His face was grim as he scrutinized the woman in front of him.He didn't need to know what her answer was with the way she twisted her fingers together. She moved from one foot to another and exhaled each second.She was nervous. He saw that and he believed she knew everything that was going on."Where is she, Mrs Morgan?" He asked again."I-I..." Mrs Morgan stuttered. She breathed out and clenched her teeth.She didn't want to beat about the bush but the hunch she was feeling for the past minutes even got stronger.Something didn't feel right. Leila should be home by now but she couldn't seem to think of what had gone wrong.Even the tracker she placed in her bag had ceased working. It felt as though someone disconnected it.But she was sure of all the locations she had been to before it stopped. She had made sure to track her movement."Where is she? I believe you are aware of all that is going on.""I swear, I didn't mean to let her
Mist swirled around the vast temple and mother Lucia mumbled. The words were incoherent.Not even anyone near her would know what she was saying. Except for her.It wasn't unusual. She did that each time she was meditating and it was part of her.Still, there was something different about what she was feeling.Her body tingled, and her palms which were placed in front of her trembled. She groaned and gasped.Her head tossed back and her mouth opened agape.Her once dark eyes turned white and she let out a soft sigh.She was in a trance, she was certain of that. It wasn't new that she was having visions. But, it didn't happen all the time and whenever it did, it often took her by surprise. Most times, the visions were awful and made her have nightmares for days if they weren't fulfilled.Moreover, she could predict the future but then she didn't rely on the gift most of the time seeing as it was mostly unpredictable.Her astral body projected out of the physical one. As she floated aro
"I care less about the urgency in her voice!" Kira swirled and twisted her hands in the air.Mist gathered around them and she stepped towards Fuji."Let her know she's a liar! A stupid one at that. None of her prophecies has ever come to pass and she has never been accurate!"Kira was extremely rude. She had never spoken this way but ever since she met the mysterious man, she couldn't help but feel that way.She couldn't help but be disappointed in the woman she had trusted ever since she was born. She felt as though she was betrayed because she had adhered to all her instructions according to the prophecy but all were fallacies.The man she had met wasn't a king as she had said. He was a nobody and a monster at that. Kira shivered and wrapped her arms around her as she thought of how they had met.Goodness, she had felt the sign for some minutes and had assumed him to be the man for her even though she had seen what he did.Until she knew his status."You need to go find the man Kir
Governor Silas bristled. He paced around the room and flung the controller towards the 32 inches TV screen that was in the corner of the room.He didn't think he heard what the reporter had said. He was certain of that.But the more he stared at the screen, the more it rang in his head. And he glared at Anthony.The same guilt was still on his face."Where is she?!" Silas barked. He marched towards Anthony and yanked the tie he donned.Anthony groaned but made no move to remove the governor's hand. He expected far worse but he was glad it was only his necktie he could grip."Where is Leila?!" He asked again.His body trembled with rage and several things he could do to the CSO in front of him surged through his mind."I-I am sorry sir." Anthony stuttered. He took a deep breath and stared at the floor with his head bowed."She is dead."Governor Silas shoved him. "And how should I feel about that? Happy? That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.""I'm sorry, sir," Anthony sa
"That will drain you." Mother Lucia said.Kira nodded. As much as she could do everything she said, it would drain her and she believed the necklace as an alternative was awesome."There's a special spell I'd like for you to try but first and foremost, you need to promise me not to go overboard."Kira hesitated, after a while, she nodded, "I won't.""Good, look at the wall," Mother Lucia said, pointing to the parrot in the cage.Kira's lips curved up in a mischievous smile as an idea popped into her head, instead of looking at the wall as instructed, she stretched out her hands to where the guards stayed.She had seen Eugene and Fuji the moment she stepped into the temple. She wanted to freeze Fuji in particular as he often annoyed her.Mother Lucia stepped towards her and whispered in her ear. "Infrizzi."Kira grinned. She remembered the spell. It was the same mother Lucia had used on her and she didn't use it all the time.She only did it when she was being destructive."Infrizzi," A
Trevor jerked awake.Groaning, he let out a breath; his throat was parched, and he felt as though it had been a while since he tasted any liquid.Coughing slightly, a wince escaped his lips, and he muttered, "I need water," Attempting to stand to his, he felt a pull and frowned.For the first time since he came awake, he gazed around and noticed they were in one of the rooms in the building, but he wasn't alone. Kira was with him and...Trevor swallowed hard as his eyes locked on her. She was snuggled into him, and her arms were wrapped around his midsection to prevent him from moving. Although he could easily disentangle himself, he was amused.For someone as small as she was, she had a tight grip."Kira," He muttered with a frown as his eyes glided from her small heart-shaped face to her lithe body and then back to her face.He shook his head as several inappropriate thoughts crossed his mind, and he imagined her unclothed. It was his first time thinking of a woman in such a manner.
Trevor paced about the small room, then he halted again. He had been doing that since they got back home(They acquired a flat they could stay in for the meantime.) He gazed at Kira; she was near Rachel's son, and Trevor's ears perked up as he heard her muttering.Then his eyes flickered to Doctor Greg as he heard a groan from him.Trevor stepped towards him and tossed a bucket of chilly water atop his head. He leaned towards him and narrowed his eyes."Where is my father?" Trevor asked.He remembered all the conversations back at the lab. Doctor Greg was keeping his father for some experiment of some sort, and he refused to tell him where the man was.Despite all he did to him, he kept mute and preferred to be tortured.Dr Greg shivers with his eyes shut. They were swollen, and he had multiple cuts on his face. It was due to the several slaps he had received from Trevor for keeping quiet. He groaned as he tried moving his lips. It hurt, and he wondered if he'd be able to use them prop
The car at her back was gaining in on her, and they had not ceased fire. It was a wonder she was alive because she was getting shot at from any angle, and she barely had the time to dodge and drive. "Shit!" Rachel gasped out suddenly as she heard the hissing of the tyre.She swerved to the side to avoid slamming into an oncoming vehicle.The car was slowing down because the tyre had been hit.Rachel struggled to get it moving, but it was to no avail.The security guard's car that was once behind her was beside her and slammed into the vanilla.Rachel groaned, and her hand went to her neck as she marched on the accelerator.Her hands tightened on the steering again, and she grimaced as she glimpsed the crimson liquid staining it.Shit!She had assumed it was a taser! Rachel choked out as she felt the bullet pierce at her vital organ.She gripped the hem of the flannel Jerry donned and yanked it, pulling. It was a light material, and it quickly tore.She removed her hand from the steer
Marie was the first to unfreeze. She gasped and jumped; her eyes darted here and there in search of the blonde girl she had seen a while ago.She didn't know what had gone wrong, but it seemed as though time had frozen, and she was only given a chance to move freely after all the deeds had been done.Her ears twitched as she heard the ringing of the alarm.Someone must have turned it on, and she wondered if they were still in the building. Marie sprinted towards the security room to see what was causing the ruckus; she bumped into Allan, one of the security guards.He steadied her, and his eyes narrowed at her whilst searching her face.Marie frowned, she didn't know what he was strictly looking at, but she doubted she needed to guess any longer."Something happened, right? To Doctor Greg?" She asked, her heart in her throat as she awaited what he was going to say.He nodded. "We were alerted he got abducted."Marie let out a staggering breath."I don't know by whom, but I will meet t
Staring at the rearview mirror to see if they were being followed, Kira let out a relieved sigh as she saw nothing.The spell held on longer than she could have thought.Kira believed before they came to, they'd have gotten to their destination.Also, she was glad the mission wasn't abortive. It was her first time, and it was successful. She wondered if it would have been if Rachel hadn't helped by giving some information.Again, she doubted Rachel would have given her any information if she hadn't threatened to kill her son.Kira's eyes flickered to Trevor. He was sprawled on the chair beside her, and she occasionally stole glances at him.The injury on him had somewhat cleared, although not all. But from the angle she was in, she barely saw the bruises she had seen on him a while ago.Maybe, his healing reflexes had kicked in; she mused as she continued to watch him.She couldn't stop staring at his chiselled face. Even as it was scrunched up, it didn't take away his sexiness.His t
A few seconds passed by, and when nothing happened, Trevor opened his eyes and he stared at Dr Greg, who seemed to be deep in thought.Using the opportunity he saw before him, he rolled atop the gurney he was on to the other side.Dr Greg snapped out of his daze at the sudden movements, and his hand pulled the trigger.Trevor clasped his hands over his ears and let out a grunt. His body twitched due to the noise, and his sensitive ears perked up."What the fuck?!" He rasped, looking above his head where the bullet had pierced. Smoke sizzled from the area, and Trevor narrowed his eyes as he glimpsed the green liquid dripping down the glass wall."wolfsbane." He let out a grunt. He wouldn't have died if the bullet hit him, but he knew he'd be severely injured because wolfsbane was a bane to his kind of specie.Due to the different genes he had in him; he would have collapsed as soon as he was hit but not dead. Trevor was aware it would take a lot of things to kill him off, but he didn'
"You are acting sus, be natural," Kira whispered.Rachel flashed Kira a bright smile as they neared the giant facility."Hey, Tate!""Mrs Jensen." Tate acknowledges with a nod before gazing at Kira."Hi, Tate." Kira grinned, "I'm the new intern, and she is my supervisor. She is showing me around."Tate grasped the ID in his hand, accessed it, and nodded."Of course. Sorry for keeping you waiting." He stepped back from the door and let them in."You see, easy peasy," Kira said. "I told you nothing to be scared of."Rachel nodded and heaved a breath. Getting past Tate was the hardest. He often did a thorough search when it came to entering the facility.There were explosives, and the last thing needed was a suicide bomber.Again, Rachel was still stunned he had let them in after only checking her ID."Now, where is the next stop?" Kira asked.Rachel's eyes darted to Kira. "It's the place where he's kept. It's restricted, and I am the only one who can get in since I clean. It'll be suspic
Rachel watched as the girl she assumed was Kira(The name she read in the paper) lay sprawled on the couch. Kira was not sleeping; Rachel was aware of that.The screen of her phone illuminated her oval-shaped face, and she wondered what she was doing."Mama," Her eyes flickered away from Kira's to meet her son, Jerry.The light in the room had gone dim. She didn't know how but she heard Kira snap her fingers and mutter something. Yet, she could still make out where he was huddled."It's past bedtime," Jerry said.Rachel imagined his black eyes darting from hers to Kira, who was on the couch."Go ahead," She gave him a tight-lipped smile."You should listen to your child," Kira chimed in. "We have a long day tomorrow, and you might need to sleep to conserve your energy."Rachel nodded and heaved a breath. Her eyes darted to her son; he had come near her. She gripped his hand, "You should sleep."She mumbled, pointing towards the door with a blue colour."I want to stay with you, mama,"
Kira furrowed her brows as she gazed into the binoculars with her for the umpteenth time.An hour before she arrived, the guard at the entrance didn't reduce, and she wondered what it was needed for, seeing as the facility itself was in a remote area.She wondered what would happen if she decided to attack by herself.Kira sighed. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ears and wrinkled her nose. She peered into the binoculars, and she straightened as she sighted a woman striding out of the huge gate. "A female and a worker. Quite easy." Kira grinned, and her eyes followed her where she went on the binoculars.She gathered her things and walked in the direction the female worker had gone. Luckily, she didn't get caught whilst running. The last thing she needed was to be locked up in a cage, or wherever it was, they kept prisoners. And who knows what might happen to her.*********The day went by quickly, and midnight came. It was exactly what Kira had been anticipating to carry out
