"Dad!" Leila yelled, "That isn't fair.""I think I am the fairest with you, darling."Leila stomped her feet on the floor and stalked out of the room after the unsuccessful attempt to get him to grant her the permission she needed.It was just like always, her father refusing to let her do what she wanted.He wouldn't let her even walk the distance from the entrance door to the huge gate without having Anthony, his loyal bodyguard and chief security officer follow her.She detested it. All she had ever wanted was her freedom. Yet, it seemed it wouldn't come anytime soon.Her father had freaking confined her in the house and didn't care about anything she wanted.Although he provided all that she wanted, he assumed that giving her everything was what she only needed.She wanted more.She wanted his attention. She wanted a father and daughter moment and she wanted her freedom as well.Leila wondered if she was being selfish to have wanted her freedom as her father always did what he was
Amused at how he addressed himself, Leila giggled. She found his sense of humour sexy and wondered if he often joked like that all the time.The truth was, Trevor Saint Williamson was dangerously handsome. The smile he was flashing her way was doing more than it should to her.Her body reacted to him and she didn't mind. She only wondered if he felt the same way as he would be the first man she'd desired even before knowing who he was.Trevor chuckled. Her thoughts were amusing even though that was how he affected all the women he had been with except one.A shadow crossed his face as he remembered her, the woman that had been invading his dream. The woman who felt nothing for him and had almost murdered him without a second thought.The woman he believed had disappeared from the surface of the earth...Trevor's eyes snapped to Leila as he felt her hands on him. He furrowed his brows, staring at her oval-shaped face."Don't you want me too?"She was too forward, but that was how he li
"So, is it a deal or no deal?" Silas tilted his head whilst moving around his vast living room.The living room he used alone in the mansion he stayed in."Deal."He let out a relieved sigh as he heard the deep voice at the other end."It should be done before 10 PM, you know we don't want anyone knowing," Silas said."No one would suspect a thing except you rat us out and it will be done smoothly. Be rest assured." The voice said again.Silas nodded, before hanging up.He didn't need to be present in the meeting being held at the moment. He was certain everything would go on smoothly without him.Although he trusted no one, he had little trust in his allies. They often did a great job in his presence and absence.Silas smiled briefly as the call ended and he stepped towards the bar.Life was a lot easier, he mused and imagined the vast fortune that would be his tomorrow.He couldn't wait for that to happen and he'd surely get the most out of it.**********Trevor groaned as he landed
"I saw Leila with you last night," Anthony said.His face was grim as he scrutinized the woman in front of him.He didn't need to know what her answer was with the way she twisted her fingers together. She moved from one foot to another and exhaled each second.She was nervous. He saw that and he believed she knew everything that was going on."Where is she, Mrs Morgan?" He asked again."I-I..." Mrs Morgan stuttered. She breathed out and clenched her teeth.She didn't want to beat about the bush but the hunch she was feeling for the past minutes even got stronger.Something didn't feel right. Leila should be home by now but she couldn't seem to think of what had gone wrong.Even the tracker she placed in her bag had ceased working. It felt as though someone disconnected it.But she was sure of all the locations she had been to before it stopped. She had made sure to track her movement."Where is she? I believe you are aware of all that is going on.""I swear, I didn't mean to let her
Mist swirled around the vast temple and mother Lucia mumbled. The words were incoherent.Not even anyone near her would know what she was saying. Except for her.It wasn't unusual. She did that each time she was meditating and it was part of her.Still, there was something different about what she was feeling.Her body tingled, and her palms which were placed in front of her trembled. She groaned and gasped.Her head tossed back and her mouth opened agape.Her once dark eyes turned white and she let out a soft sigh.She was in a trance, she was certain of that. It wasn't new that she was having visions. But, it didn't happen all the time and whenever it did, it often took her by surprise. Most times, the visions were awful and made her have nightmares for days if they weren't fulfilled.Moreover, she could predict the future but then she didn't rely on the gift most of the time seeing as it was mostly unpredictable.Her astral body projected out of the physical one. As she floated aro
"I care less about the urgency in her voice!" Kira swirled and twisted her hands in the air.Mist gathered around them and she stepped towards Fuji."Let her know she's a liar! A stupid one at that. None of her prophecies has ever come to pass and she has never been accurate!"Kira was extremely rude. She had never spoken this way but ever since she met the mysterious man, she couldn't help but feel that way.She couldn't help but be disappointed in the woman she had trusted ever since she was born. She felt as though she was betrayed because she had adhered to all her instructions according to the prophecy but all were fallacies.The man she had met wasn't a king as she had said. He was a nobody and a monster at that. Kira shivered and wrapped her arms around her as she thought of how they had met.Goodness, she had felt the sign for some minutes and had assumed him to be the man for her even though she had seen what he did.Until she knew his status."You need to go find the man Kir
Governor Silas bristled. He paced around the room and flung the controller towards the 32 inches TV screen that was in the corner of the room.He didn't think he heard what the reporter had said. He was certain of that.But the more he stared at the screen, the more it rang in his head. And he glared at Anthony.The same guilt was still on his face."Where is she?!" Silas barked. He marched towards Anthony and yanked the tie he donned.Anthony groaned but made no move to remove the governor's hand. He expected far worse but he was glad it was only his necktie he could grip."Where is Leila?!" He asked again.His body trembled with rage and several things he could do to the CSO in front of him surged through his mind."I-I am sorry sir." Anthony stuttered. He took a deep breath and stared at the floor with his head bowed."She is dead."Governor Silas shoved him. "And how should I feel about that? Happy? That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.""I'm sorry, sir," Anthony sa
"That will drain you." Mother Lucia said.Kira nodded. As much as she could do everything she said, it would drain her and she believed the necklace as an alternative was awesome."There's a special spell I'd like for you to try but first and foremost, you need to promise me not to go overboard."Kira hesitated, after a while, she nodded, "I won't.""Good, look at the wall," Mother Lucia said, pointing to the parrot in the cage.Kira's lips curved up in a mischievous smile as an idea popped into her head, instead of looking at the wall as instructed, she stretched out her hands to where the guards stayed.She had seen Eugene and Fuji the moment she stepped into the temple. She wanted to freeze Fuji in particular as he often annoyed her.Mother Lucia stepped towards her and whispered in her ear. "Infrizzi."Kira grinned. She remembered the spell. It was the same mother Lucia had used on her and she didn't use it all the time.She only did it when she was being destructive."Infrizzi," A
