Roses And Thorns
Peeling my eyes open took a much greater effort than it should. Stain glass windows came into view.
The array of colours in the glass casting a pinkish hue in the room, rousing a dovish feel in me.
The sharp sting of pain in my jaw, kickstarted my perforated memory, causing a rush of the previous event to ram into my head all at once. I winced when I realized I had been kidnapped once again.
For the first time, I took notice of the room I was in and awed at the architecture. Almost everything in the bedroom was antique. No wonder the windows were a made of stain glass.
Who the hell uses stain glass windows in this era if not in a church... Or is this a castle?

"I know what you're thinking in that pretty little head of yours" "If you try to escape, I will find you", he spoke through gritted, his Topaz pools turning dark. "Then I'd really consider the whorehouse, I bet many would love to have a taste of this", his eyes raked hungrily over my body and even though I was fully clothed with a jacket on, I still felt naked and vuln

I could recall that day in the rain, he shot someone, but I couldn't be sure, maybe I was hallucinating.I pulled out a business card I had been hiding and looked at it. Maybe he could help, but I was afraid of getting him involved, what if Miguel was really dangerous and gets him killed....

I paced the length of my room impatiently. I had the opportunity to carry out my plan since Miguel was working from home and his office would be unlocked.

Conquering Miguel Prologue
It wasa stormynight that fateful day. The loud rumble of thunder overhead did nothing to drown out the screams of the woman in labour. A nurse wiped at the sweat dribbling down her forehead as her breathing became even more erratic. Her legs were spread open and the doctor placed a gloved hand on her swollen stomach, encouraging her to push one more time. With all her might, the woman pushed and the cry of a new born filled the room. A smile formed on her chapped lips as joy filled her heart. An exhausted exhale fell past her lips as she stared idly at the white ceiling. The new born continued to wail
Conquering Miguel Karma! Thou Hath No Fury
I jolted awake at the blaring sound of my alarm clock. Sighing, I pressed the off button. Groggily, I got out of bed and walked out of my room toward the bathroom. Opening the faucet, I splashed water on my face and stared at the mirror for a few seconds. I tied my Auburn hair in a messy bun and proceeded in brushing my teeth. Once done, I made my way to the kitchen first. My mother and I lived in a two bedroom apartment which I was responsible for keeping spotless. I scrambled into the living room after preparing a steaming cup of coffee for mother, leaving it to cool for a while. After cleaning the living room, I proceeded to the kitchen to make breakfast before mother awakes.

I walked briskly down to the bus stop and boarded a bus. In about ten minutes, the bus halted and I got down.Outside, I took in the busy atmosphere while walking down the cobblestone pavement of the street.I quickened my pace when I spotted the small diner I worked in ahead. Pushing the glass door open, the bell chimed signalling my entrance.Inside, I spotted Nancy, my co-worker and friend on the far end corner of the shop wiping furiously at a table.Her unruly dark brown curls were swishing back and forth as she wiped the table.Chuckling, I padded on towards the staff room at the back of the counter while calling and waving in her direction.

You know that moment when you're caught doing something you know you shouldn't be doing, then you feel like a deer caught in the headlights. It all moves in slow motion, the impending doom.That was exactly how I felt when I watched mother stand with a fear stricken face."Get her!", Cruz yelled at his bodyguard who stood motionlessly behind him."No!, let her go, I didn't bargain for this!", she protested, trying to hold the bodyguard back but he shrugged her off of him without effort.He stalked towards me menacingly and I continued to back away from him while still on the floor paralysed with fear.With a newly found energy, I sprung up and raced towards the front door and pulled
