He heaved a sigh of relief seeing it was just an image conjured in his mind. His eyes traveled to Queenie who was now fast asleep. After calming his nerves, he walked towards his closet to have a change of clothes then walked out minutes later. "Keep an eye on Mrs. Verlice and inform me the moment you notice something wrong with her." He instructed Vincent and got into a black Maybach. Vincent nodded and watched him drive out of the compound. ...IN MARONLiam also got to work as soon as he got off the phone with Pierce. The man who had sent for the company's manager, looked up at the man and got up. "You'll help me do something." He started, grabbing his suit jacket which he had drooped around the chair he sat on. "I have something to take care of and it might take an hour or two. Since my presence is needed, I'll need you to create a distraction until I arrive." He patted the manager's shoulder whose name was John Pat, and walked past him. When he got to the door, he turned

Jessica was in a press conference when her phone rang. She took a peak at the caller and when she saw it was an unknown number, she didn't answer at first. But when the number kept interrupting her, she ended the meeting. "This meeting will be adjourned to Friday. Take your time, plot your presentations, Maybe then, we'd be able to narrow down on what to do on Friday." She didn't waste anymore time before ending the call. Then she picked up her phone and dialed the number that kept calling. "I'm I speaking to Jessica?" A familiar voice asked. She instantly recognized it to belong to Liam and said in agreement. "Yes, what is it?" "Right now, I'm on the run. The Dragon Conglomerate are after me." Liam said. Jessica's eyes widened. "Why would they be after you? Are you sure about this?" As she spoke, she turned to her computer and entered a website. Her ID and a scan of her iris was requested before she was let in. The first thing her eyes came in contact with was a headhunt for

A Village In JaronLiam and Sarah had been walking for days, evading the men from the conglomerate took up most of their energies. "Can I die now?" Sarah cried, falling heavily to the ground. Liam looked back r her but didn't go to help. "I'm tired as well. According to the direction given to us, we should be nearing the sea depot. Once we have them there, we'd cause a distraction and head back to the village. Then we'd be out. Just hold on a little longer, please." Sarah didn't say anything as she already had her eyes closed, breathing shallowly. When she opened her eyes, it met with the man's hardened yet handsome face. "Fine!" She got up and staggered towards him. They walked into a corner before the two got dragged into a corner. Sarah had already given up her life to fate while Liam struggled out of their grips and fought a few of them. But because he had been starved for days, his strength had weakened. "We're not foes." One of the men hurriedly said as he took off his m

Underground House Of PierceQueenie laid on her bed that morning with creased eyebrows. She seemed to be recalling something but they made no sense. The door to the room opened and Pierce walked in carrying some bags. When he saw her expression, he dropped the bags and rushed to her. "Is everything alright, Queenie?" He asked worriedly, his hands going to her neck. Queenie shook her head and struggled to get up but her bloated stomach prevented her. In the end, she had to continue laying down. "When is our vacation ending? We've been here for a month." Cold sweat instantly appeared on the man's forehead. He had made her believe they needed to go on a vacation somewhere. She had asked him times without number where the vacation was but the man kept mute. "We will go soon. I'm having an important meeting in Hiltonia next week. We should be gone by then." The man said hurriedly when he saw her brows twitch together.The woman said nothing afterwards. With soft pats from Pierce she

No one said anything. Roxanne seemed rather relaxed as she drummed her finger on the table. It sounded like she was counting but when they looked at her face, she had her signature smug smile which made it difficult for them to know what she was thinking. "Are you all accepting her back to the conglomerate?" She finally asked, relieving her finger of the work of drumming on the table. "Should I remind you of what the three of them did back then?" "They're all aware, Roxanne. Besides, people do make mistakes. You do also, so why are you holding ours against us?" Raphael asked, a gloomy smile evident on his face. Roxanne's eyes settled on his face and a frown occupied her face. "Raphael Dean, I wasn't talking to you. But since you took the initiative to speak to me first, I'll answer you." Then she leaned forward and spat out. "Your errors have long surpassed what anyone can think of. The only mistake Queenie made back then was to leave you half dead. She disregarded my suggestion o
