The next day at Henhall University, Diana prepared her report in their class Medicine I.

They are in their last month for the first semester and would soon be having their Winter Break.

“Ready, Diana?” Doctor Hector Gallagher asked.

“Yes, Doctor..” She nodded and began her report.

The room was almost dark, only illuminated by the projector screen in front. Diana held a pen to highlight parts of her output.

Everyone was engrossed in her report when they suddenly heard knocks, which became louder by the minute.

“Could someone open the door?” Doctor Gallagher’s forehead creased.

The student nearest to the door stood up and unlocked the door.

He almost got slammed on the nose when the door swung open.

As soon as the person who knocked entered, the students cou

    If it weren’t for Erin’s experience as a nursing student, she would have already let panic dominate her being in this moment.She picked up Erin’s wrist and felt her pulse.‘Slow.’ She sucked in her breath.She leaned down, putting her ear close to Darcie’s face.‘Shallow breaths.’“Darcie–Darcie.. Wake up..” She shook her, trying to wake her up.Still no response.“What’s wrong?” Harvey asked.“She’s not waking up.”“She’s probably so hammered from last night.. Ugh.. I have a bad headache..

    Erin was not the only one watching the news at this moment. Besides those who regularly watch the evening news, two closest to her were also watching. Mathilda was watching it with her parents who had already moved to the living room after having dinner. Mathilda was about to go back to her room when she suddenly heard her mother exclaim.In another house, Sophie was watching the news with Carlos who regularly watched it.Carlos didn’t utter a word but it was obvious how relieved he was that Sophie was not in her friend’s place.He could only imagine what sort of things Sophie had done before they entered into a relationship.It was not hard to imagine, after all, their first meeting was somewhat unusual. Probably only drunk people or those high on drugs would do such a thing, and yet, both of them were sober at that time. Still, Carlos couldn’t bring himself to regret it.&n

All of our guests have confirmed that they will attend.” Halynn’s mother said.“Yes. Thank goodness. Oh! Before I forget.. I think it’s best not to include some of the bridesmaids. Perhaps they could come as guests instead.” Jayden’s mother said.Halynn’s brows shot up. “Umm–may I ask why?”For the first time, Jayden’s mother looked at Halynn pointedly. “Well–since you asked, then I would say it now. Some of your friends are not ideal.”Apart from Halynn’s friends, there’s only some of her cousins who were also part of her entourage. “Not ideal?”“Yes. And I would advise that you stop seeing

    Two weeks later, the entertainment news announced the marriage of Halynn Ashton and Jayden Lewis.It was quite a grand celebration, attended by several businessmen and wealthy families.Evidently, it was not up to the same standard as that of the Great 7 families. None of them attended the ceremony and the dinner after. They didn’t have the connections to even hand out an invitation in the first place.Even so, within their circle, they still thought of themselves as the elite, if they were to compare themselves to the average earners and those in poverty.Erin watched this piece of news from the television with a glum face.She was supposed to be one of the bridesmaids.She had received Jayden’s message a few days after the incident with Darcie.He told her that in order for them, meaning her and Darcie, to not be hounded by

    Lillian, Ernest and the rest arrived at the airport and were quickly assisted through the process. They were able to leave the airport and head to their residence easily. Adrian looked around and saw that everything seemed strange in his eyes. Nothing was familiar to him. It was when they were finally close to the mansion when he recognized the structure. He had dreamt of this place so many times. It had become hazy at some point. But now, he could see that this was more or less the place he lived in before he was taken. It had some new additions along with other changes such as the paint and the landscape design. But the overall structure was the same. As they entered the gates, he saw that there were a lot of people outside of the house. They were lined up even in this cold weather. Most of them seemed to be wearing uniforms under their black coats. The only ones who looked different than the others were the three couples and two young men. “Ah.. Everyone’s here.” Emma smiled

    Adrian and Violet were apprehensive when they saw the big plane that they were going to ride on.Fortunately for them, they were flying through the private plane of the Lovell family, else, they would be even more embarrassed by the way they were acting.To their memory, this was their first time being on any plane.That simply was not true for Adrian, as the family had gone on vacations before that needed the plane. It’s just that this memory may have been forgotten by Adrian already.As for Violet, this was her first ever flight.They at least knew what a plane was.They were only anxious as to how they would feel once they’re already up in the air.Lillian and the rest tried to distract them from these thoughts.Hugh and Leroy offered them some wine and snacks.Emma and Priscilla showed them the movies they could watch on the screen in front of their seat.Lillian especially made sure they felt warm and comfortable, giving them blankets and pillows, showing them how to recline thei

    “Yes, Dad. Alright–Mn..Goodnight.” Lucas said to Hugh on the phone.Hugh had called him to let him know that they would be heading back in the morning with Adrian and his friend, Violet.Hugh and Leroy’s secretaries have received updates regarding a background check on Violet’s family.They’ve decided to let Violet stay with the Lovell family as a guest.In the residence, there’s usually only the elders living with their staff. Usually, it would be busier during holidays and if there are any special occasions. In those times, everyone would gather in the residence and stay in their rooms reserved for them.Lillian and Ernest have held out hope that Adrian would return to them so they never thought of letting anybody else use it.Lillian would personally clean it and it was only in the later years that she let her staff help her.She wanted to preserve whatever remaining scent Adrian had left.There were times when she would burst out in tears, realizing that she could no longer recall

    Soon, the driver, John Garcia, pulled up outside of the hotel where Lillian and the rest were staying.Adrian was no longer as anxious as he was half an hour ago, still he could still remember the bullets trying to penetrate through the car and the explosion after those goons’ cars had collided.Detective Jones glanced at him, noticing how pale Adrian was.Still, he commended him for not breaking down and not getting in their way.And also, because of him, they were able to rescue so many people who have been missing for years.Perhaps the Mayor might even think of rewarding Adrian because of his contribution.At the moment though, it was inappropriate to bring it up, given what the man had just experienced.So after escorting them to the hotel, Detective Jones left them, joining the other Officers with the rescued people.It was a field day for the reporters, gathering outside the police department.On the televisions of most households, they showed several people with their heads lo

    As John Garcia was driving the car forward, everyone in the car held their breaths.They already knew that those people were Mortimer’s men. They could only play along for now, hoping for them to think that Adrian was in the other cars.But then–that possibility is very low.The black car they’re in was far from ordinary upon close inspection.And like clockwork, shots rang.Adrian ducked, covering his head with his arms.John Garcia gripped the steering wheel while Howard Dawson and Detective Jones cocked their guns.A voice of one of the policemen came on the comms. “Keep going. Follow the second group!”No matter what, they couldn’t let Adrian and the people who had just been rescued be in Mortimer’s hands again.John Garcia didn’t hesitate and quickly sped on.Mortimer’s men have picked the road where there’s only farm crops on each side, the road only leading one way.The city was still quite far so blending in or hiding in some alleyway would still be impossible.For now, they s

    The drive was calm, with John Garcia, the driver not making any stops if he could help it.The car could drive even without gas as it can run on solar power.It could be recharged at a charging station, could store gas and could be powered through solar. This is all thanks to the upgrades done by the Lovell Technologies.With the drive being calm, Adrian fell to sleep.Even Detective Jones dozed off as well, his head hitting the window a couple of times.An hour into the drive, the car suddenly beeped in alarm.Adrian and Detective Jones groaned, having been woken up by the alarm.“What is it? What’s happening?” Detective Jones asked.“There seems to be an accident up ahead.” John Garcia answered, pointing at the GPS shown on the screen in front of him.“Is there another road we can take?” The bodyguard, Hoyt Cole asked.“This is the only road back to Westbury..” John Garcia answered.“Maybe the road is not totally blocked–” Detective Jones said.“Alright then–we’ll keep going..”“Sta

    After canvassing the full layout of the building and accounting the number of people inside, Detective Jones and the other Officers made their strategic plan.An hour later, they made their move.Adrian was made to stay in the car while he viewed their perspective from the tablet device.He was given eyes for different cameras. Two more Officers were also monitoring it from their tablet devices.They compared every person found to the sketches from Adrian’s description of the people held captive. And also of the ones Adrian said were the people who ordered them around.Adrian watched as the trained Officers infiltrated the area covertly.CCTV cameras were hacked and made to play the same view over and over again.They knocked out the guards with tranquilizers, making sure they wouldn’t be waking up so soon.They were separated into groups. One made way to the sleeping quarters of the captives, another entered the main building, and another surrounded all possible exits.There were onl

    Adrian held her hand, squeezing it.At that moment, Hugh returned to the room and was startled by the silence.“What happened?” He asked. His eyes wandered to Violet who now had her head lowered, her hand covering her eyes and her shoulders shaking.‘Is she crying?’ His brows furrowed.“Violet just remembered what happened that time when she was taken away.” Emma summarized it for him.He nodded. “By the way–I’ve just received information just now. Violet–it has something to do with you. If this is not a good time, I won’t say it.”She looked up, quickly wiping her tears with the cloth napkin.“No, please, I want to hear it.”Hugh nodded.“What is it, Hugh?” Emma asked.“It’s about her family.”They all glanced at Violet, gauging her reaction.“I remember–my mother died that time.” She said.Hugh nodded, confirming what she had remembered.Her heart fell. Deep inside, she was hoping that she was wrong. That she remembered it wrongly.Tears continued to fall down her cheeks. The napkin

    Knock. Knock.“I’ll go get it..” Emma said.She opened the door and saw her younger brother, Adrian.“Ah.. Adrian.. What is it?”Adrian was startled.He stepped back to check if he knocked on the correct room or not.“You have something you need from Violet?” She smiled.His brows shot up. “Oh. Um–I was going to bring her to the dining room.”“Ah.. I see. Well, just in time. We’re done here as well.” Emma smiled. She turned her head and called over. “Come on you two..”“Okay!” Priscilla said. “Let’s go Violet..”Priscilla brought Violet over.Adrian was struck for a moment when he saw Violet.He had never seen her so dolled up.Her hair was beautiful and so is her overall look. Her face was even more beautiful than usual.Violet’s head hung as her cheeks blushed bright red.Adrian cleared his throat.“Let’s go..” Adrian tilted his head.“Mn.” Violet nodded.
