“Mission completed.” Iliana muttered lazily as she turned on the unique wireless earphone.
“Excellent. However, you spent a significant amount of time on this one... Anyway, I'll see you!”
“Clara!” exclaimed Iliana, "I swear I'm going to kill you.”
“Bye!!!”
“Damn it! That evil Barbie!” She said to herself as she sped away into the night.
She soon arrived in the city, where she paused to think for a bit. “I'm leaving the bike at the alley we met before I left,” she said, turning on the earpiece once more. "You are welcome to pick it up there.”
When she arrived at the dark alley, she dismounted and carried the bag containing her clothes with her.
The time was 7:15 p.m according to the wristwatch she was wearing.
"I've got to get to the mansion as soon as possible." She said to no one in particular.
As she neared the mansion at breakneck spe
“ Let’s start with my mission. “I recall that you said that it was not successful but then you still returned with the briefcase and the Mr C whom you were sent to mysteriously appeared at the ball and forced you to dance with him. And then you guys probably did some physical business and you interrupted my fun time with that pretty boy I was talking to…” “Just shut up Iliana. You are making no sense. You are just rambling….don’t tell me you’re sleep talking…Iliana!” “Clara…I’m tired” Iliana whined. “I guess you don’t want the cookies anymore. It’s fine. You can sleep. I’ll just eat them alone.” “Fine! I’m listening.” “Good. Okay. So my mission was going very well at the start. It wasn’t even as difficult as my first mission. However, everything was a trap Iliana. When I got into his room, I was surrounded by guards and although he could have killed me, he gave me the briefcase and let me go with an oath to never tell Mark about anythi
Clara turned off the lights after Iliana finished with her cookies and they both soon fell asleep.The mansion became very quiet indicating that everyone was sleeping.However, that night, not everyone could sleep and enjoy the comfort of their beds. Melina paced about in her room with a phone in her hand. It was quite obvious that she was expecting a call from the anxious look on her face as she stared at her phone. Annoyed, she threw it on the queen sized bed and stomped her foot in anger.“When will he call…when will he call?”Very soon, her phone rang and she ran across the room to get it.“Spring of roses, were you able to get anything on them? Where they live, who they are?”“I traced the plate number of the car, however, the car had been placed for sale as a second hand vehicle.I asked the car dealer if he knew who sold the car to him and he told me that the person came wearing a hood. I also t
“What did you do to him?”“Good morning Mistress”“That is not the answer to my question!”“I am sorry, but I do not know who my mistress is referring to.”“You’ll soon know.” Melina said as she furiously slapped Iliana.“So tell me, now do you know the answer? You ungrateful brat, do you?! I saw everything that happened just now. I know what you are trying to do. You want to enchant elder brother so that you can have a say in this mansion, so that you can own this place, the company, everything…but I won’t let that happen. Can’t you have some shame? He is your cousin!”“I clearly refused him, but….”Grabbing her neck, Lina interrupted with a dangerous look on her face, “But what! You are just a worthless orphan who wants to sneak her way into a wealthy family, but the next time I see you getting cozy with my brother, you won’t like what I’ll do to you.”“I….I…won’t go..n..ne..ar…h..im..again.” Iliana managed to say with tears trailing down her cheeks.“You disgust me.” Melina spat an
Unknown PovAs a human, I would say that the supernaturals are non-physical entities that often defy the physical laws of nature. Many humans would have never believed that such creatures existed but as children, they were the monsters who lived underneath our beds, a core part of our nightmares and an important subject of our beliefs. Many adults around us saw them as superstitions, but then, who were we to argue with them? For humans will always provide a logical explanation for everything that they do not understand simply because it scares them. This also explains why many refuse to believe the existence of the supreme being who created all things - including spirits and humans, angels and demons, living and dead. I, as the daughter of the King Reuben of Ascarisa, was less concerned about all these, afterall, I was only a female who would end up in the arms of a Prince whom I do not love, simply for my family and kingdom's happiness. This was how it was until that war, the one tha
10 years ago "Iliana! Iliana! Iliana, my dear! Please come back inside. It is too late for you to run about like this." A middle - aged woman pleaded with an exasperated look on her face as she tried to chase after the little girl running out of her room. "No Sugar Plum Aunt, I'm not coming back inside. I heard the gates being opened. I think they're back." Iliana answered as she dashed out of the sitting room's door and fondled the mansion's main door handle. The door burst open, revealing two adults and five helpers carrying what she felt were her parents' belongings. As her father picked her up, Iliana beamed with joy. "Welcome father, welcome mother," she said, kissing his cheek. "I missed you so much." "Awwn, we missed you too dart." Her father responded. "Don't lie to me; did you even notice I was gone? Where's my kiss?" Her mother grumbled with feigned anger. "Mum, I really did miss you a lot. We have so much to
The following morning, Iliana woke up to the golden rays of the morning star glowing brightly in her room. It was late in the afternoon already. The ten year old stood up, brushed her teeth, bathed herself and changed into a pretty pink dress. She was glad Sugar plum wasn't around because she would have forced the female maids to give her a bath in scented roses and she always felt embarrassed being bare in front of three grown maids. Smiling, she went to her parents' room to greet them as she knew that they would be waiting for her. Everyone had breakfast together on Saturdays. When she got there, she knocked but got no response. Curious, she opened the door to find that the room was empty. Puzzled, she checked around all the rooms on the first floor and second floor thinking they probably wanted to surprise her. After checking all fifteen bedrooms, she still couldn't find them. She walked along the passage, pondering on where they could be. Suddenly, she stopped i
A sad look crossed Mark's face as he announced, "She also went with them. Her belongings were found on the plane." "Daddy! Please bring Iliana back. I really miss her." A nine year old girl cried with her face wet with tears while her brother shook his head from the corner he stood and soon everyone's attention was diverted on her. "Poor girl, she must be heart broken that she won't ever see her cousin again" "They must have been very close." "The Ronald family is so selfless. They left their house and everything just so that everything the deceased left behind would not perish." "Not even a real brother might do that for their own brother." On hearing their whispers, Mark said "We are still in grief and as you can see my wife isn't feeling too well so we won't be accepting any other questions. Cole, Xander please escort them outside and give them refreshments as well." "Yes sir!" "Thank you for coming. Goodbye"
At the main sitting room where the family of three were watching the evening news while waiting for dinner, The headline news read, " The Prominent Williams Couple and their daughter Dead in Airplane crash" A picture of the scene of the plane crash was displayed and the scene changed to where the interview was held and a pitiful looking Mrs Juliana was seen crying uncontrollably. "Mother! Mother! Look! We are on the news!" "Just look at how beautiful my little princess looks on camera even while crying!" Her mother exclaimed. "No doubt, you two did very well." Her father said smiling proudly. "Thank you father. Nechel did very well too. But daddy, what are you going to do about Iliana?" "That isn't for you to worry about my dear princess. Just keep enjoying yourself." "I will daddy!" Melina squealed and Nechel covered his ears. "Good evening boss! Young mistress' and Young master's rooms are ready" Clara announc
