Unable to respond, Caleb watched as she left. He stood there for some time not knowing what to do. Did Nazima follow them last night or did someone tell her what happened.Caleb wondered if he had a spy following him or did Victoria tell Nazima? He didn’t think so though, he thought Victoria would never do something like that. Not after he warmed her against it.Caleb looked like a lost boy looking for his mother just standing there with a sad look in his face. Zane who was still in the meeting hall came out and happen to see Caleb standing there.He watched him for a few minutes before he walked over to him. “You look troubled.” He commented, Caleb turned his head and looked at him. He knew this man did not like him.But at that moment he did not know what came over him. Caleb opened his mouth and asked the man for help. “I need your help, Zane.” His request shocked Zane himself.He only went there to mock him but when he took a closer look the man looked broken. Zane sighed and gest
Caleb now understood what the problem was, with him not wanting to confront Victoria in front of Nazima last night made her think that he was enjoying what Victoria was doing. Which was far from the truth.Caleb only wanted to confront Victoria far away to not make Nazima angrier than she already was. He was trying to be considerate towards but ended up making things worse.Thinking that she was right by what she said and taking Caleb’s silence as an agreement, Nazima continued. “What I don’t understand is why you strangled her if you were enjoying her company so much, or was it part of the romance. People are into a lot of things you never know.”Caleb’s eyes widened, yes, he was into that thing but that was not what happened between him and Victoria. “Then again, she might not have liked it much because she came here afterwards.” When she said that Caleb got the idea of what happened and how Nazima got to know about what went on between him and Victoria.“I need you to stop talking
Brandon was called to the station early in the morning. When he got the call he was worried that maybe one of his staff members had reported him for what happened. But he was Brandon Roberts, CEO of the biggest company in the country and he was going to take care of the problem.He had people who could make anything go away, he need not to worry about such minor things. Brandon had his breakfast alone thinking about his men who have not reported back to him in hours.The matter about the police was going to be taken care of anyway so he did not worry about that. But the matter his men were dealing with was of importance and was going to make Brandon millions.He needed that to be resolved and the Naga leader back in his lab and even more of his kind if possible. He got out of the house and his driver and guards were already waiting for him.He settled into the backseat of the car then instructed. “To the police station.” The driver only nodded
In the evening of that every same day. Nazima was preparing to meet Caleb when Zane came to her with a worried look on his face. Zane was not one to wear such a look for nothing and when Nazima saw it, she knew that something was seriously wrong.She dropped what she was doing and walked closer to him. “What is the matter?” a lot of things were in her mind at that time. She thought of the humans, Caleb, and Victoria.“Our scouts have just reported another boat in the same area those ones were following us to. They are heading to our direction.” Zane informed. I did not know if the people on the boat were from the company or not.But who else would know where to look for them if not the company? Austin was probably dead, and his friends were dead too. Who else would come looking for them if not the company?“They don’t know where we are, and we don’t know if they are looking for us. Have the scouts continue to keep
Grenades were being thrown like hot stones, too hot for the men to keep in their hands for too long. Their actions were provocative and violent. Caleb and the warriors heard the explosions before they could even come to view of the boat.“Two of you with me, we will look for the divers and get rid of them. the rest will deal with the men on the ship.” Caleb gave orders to the warriors. Since the humans didn’t learn the first time, he was going to make sure to teach them a lesson they will never forget this time.They were stubborn creatures it seems and yet they were weak. Caleb admired their resilience but cursed it at the same time.He and the two warriors dived deep and searched for the divers. They saw the first one busy doing something on the rock. He was planting the explosives.“We must hurry, we don’t know how long it will take for each of those things to explode.” Caleb urged, he was not worried about their kind getting injured as he believed they were far enough.What he wa
Their eyes widened in shock, the explosion was loud and that could mean only one thing. The humans have found them. while the others were still in shock Nazima was already swimming out.“Nazima wait, Nazima!” Caleb called out but Nazima was already gone. Caleb tried to get up and follow but the healer pushed him back down. “Where are you going? You are already injured and lost a lot of blood. You will only be in the way out there and the queen can take care of herself if that is what you are worried about.”Caleb could not believe the audacity of his subordinate. How dare she tell him what to do? He was her general and he was the one giving orders not her!“Get out of my way Nadine, your queen is alone out there, and she needs me.” the woman looked at Caleb as if he had just lost his mind. What was he talking about anyway? The queen was more than capable of taking care of herself and everyone knew that.Caleb, knew that better than anyone, or was there a different reason for him to wa
With huge eyes and death right in front of them. the men regretted taking the job. If they knew things would turn out this way, then they would not have taken the job. This easy money was not so easy anymore. They were about to lose their lives for this.They did not even get a chance to spend the money. The lifeboats started lifting up the closer the wave got. They could see how powerful the wave was just by looking at how it lifted the ship that high.When it got to them the wave lifted them up as well and when they thought they could be saved if the wave continued this way until it got to shore. But that hope was soon crushed when the front part of the wave started folding.It was so fast that the one moment they were looking at it pushing them towards the shore and the next the lifeboats were going under the wave. There were no screams or anything like that as the wave got them under fast before they could even think about creaming.They are being span around by the wave under wat
Caleb watched Nazima leave then turned to glare at Nadine. “Do you see what you have done, are you happy now, huh?” Nadine did not know how to answer. She didn’t mean for this to happen.When she told on Caleb, she thought Nazima will only scold him and she would get to watch the show. But now the queen seemed to be angry, and she was not the only one. Her general, Caleb was angry too.“I am sorry general, I did not mean for this to happen, I only wanted you to look after yourself so that you can heal properly. I thought the queen would only ask you to stay put.”Caleb did not know what else to say, he was angry and wanted to go after Nazima, but he could not. She would think that he wanted to cause a feud between his people and hers.He didn’t know where that came from. “Since you caused this, I want you to go out there and get me the person who did this.” Instructed Caleb. Nadine’s face turned pale.She was not an investigator; she was only a healer and nothing more. How was she sup
