Star drove home with tears in her eyes. She was devastated. She made Ray, she did and now that he is wealthy he thinks he can push her aside. Never, it will never happen. If he wants to drown her then they will all die together. She honk her car waiting for the gates to open but nothing. She honk it again and the security guard got out."Are you deaf, did you not hear me the first time? All these things have been employed here. Open the damn door and step aside. Did you hear me? Hey. Hey"The guard stood still at his place not moving an inch. He was not even moved by all the insult haling at him. He has received strict orders from his Boss to search Star when she arrives at the Den. And he gladly wants to search her and open the gate but this spit fire is not shutting up for him to relay the instructions. Star kept raining insults on the stone face guard. Seeing that he is not moving out of the way, she stepped out and landed a slap on the guard’s cheek. He exhale and stared deep into
It has been snowing for the past month. In a dark hole filled with water lies a man who has been tied. His legs were submerged into the water leaving his upper body bare. He was not responding to the cold weather as he was only wearing a boxer short. His body was beaten and bruised beyond recognition. His eyes swollen and slow faints of breath could be heard coming from him. The metal trap door made noise indicating someone coming into the prison. The heavy steps descending the stairs leading to him ceased. The pulley was pressed and it pulled him up from the hole with water draining down from him. “Get up you worm. You are sleeping. How good for you to treat here as a vacation when you are about to die. “The man was kicked in his stomach making him cough up blood. He was released from the hang and dragged up by his hair . Blood dripped unto the floor. The abuser laughed “You disgusting piece of shit. You want to be our King. Brave but stupid . Walking into a gathering of the Five
Sarah run home. She hugged her mother tightly and freely letting her tears go. Mona had embarrassed her beyond her wildest dream. After she heard her conservation with her brother on the phone. She announced to the cafe how hard it was for the Royals of Port City to get the hit tickets.She took out hers , waved it around and laughed with her friends saying the Woods could not attend the event, she begged the Cafe to lend a helping hand to the less privileged Royals. The scene vividly fresh in her memory."Dear why are you crying, what is wrong""Mum she........she........at the Cafe""What happened, who did this to you""She disgrace me and called us poor""What, who did this, talk to me. Who had such audacity to smear us. Stop crying and move your lips""Mona mum. Mabel Carter""She again. This girl does not stop does she. Just you wait until your father hears this"Mavis Wood reached for her phone and called her husband Louis Wood. The call ended after the last ring. She called again
The long awaited day was finally here and everything was set. In the main center of the building, decorations were getting final touches and the hall was being wiped cleaned to the dot. Ray knew how he had hyped this event and if he does not supervised everything himself, he feels it will be a disaster.He walked the whole hall pointing out errors and making sure they were corrected. He checked the line ups of the performers, the dance routines, and the seating arrangements. He also checked the stage firmness, lights and the cameras. He wanted to record the event and later sell it to the media houses for the citizens to be in awe and get a slight view into the elite life and their expensive lifestyle. His Phoenix has to shock the whole world.The anticipated evening . Spotlight was on, everyone was set and ready to make this night a historical one . Performers were being dressed , Musical instruments were being polished and everything was being set in place . Soft music filled the room
The seats in the hall filled to it capacity. Every face seated held a high position either a CEO, a Minister or a world renowned person. The seating area was divided into three sections, the entertainment celebrities were seated at one side, the government personnel on the second side and the business tycoons on the last side. This arrangement was Ray's idea to lend a hand for business deals, promotions and collaborations to be created. He needed them to be indebted to him. Having a powerful person in your chain on friends could be a blessing in disguise. In between the guests was a dance floor. Four chairs were surrounding a table with each and every person’s name printed on it. Information provided by the front gates helped in making the name cards and each table has its own waitress serving the guests with their orders. After the Red carpet event, Ushers shown the guests their table. The main show began. Ray Cruz came on the platform and greeted the guests thanking them for making
A voice cleared into the mic drawing the attention of the guests onto the stage. He was tall and well-built and anyone in the Elite circle know him as Don Mateo. He is a close friend to Ray and they are two peas in a pod.Louis Wood looked at the man and smiled he knew he will be here and he will not waste this opportunity to introduce him to his daughter. Don was someone he really admired and would love to pull him into his family as all the Business men seem to shy away from him whenever he makes a move to approach them. This evening has been a bad loss for him indeed. He could have made million dollar deals and got investors too.Mavis Wood turned and saw her husband smiling while looking at Don. She calculated in her head and yes if her daughter marries Don they will never be disrespected again. She saw the struggles her husband has been going through since they arrived and she has been smiling foolishly to maintain her grace and save their face. Don’s Grandfather was a sailor and
People were grouped outside in their numbers waiting for Alexander Mace to be finally released. The Five made a decision in secret to wait it out and make the public forget him. Then he will be killed but the information got leaked out, something that has never happened before. Because of the news people complained and protested to leave the mainland, abandoned the cause and break communication with the Five forcing them to release him against their will.Old blood relatives of the Hallbergs sprang out of the shadows to fund these protest and for 2 years since his arrest Alex finally stepped out of the gates as a freed man. He has won the people’s heart and sympathy to his side and he knows the Five will not dare to make a mistake at this moment when the whole coven eyes are on him. This time too was the moment he has to strike and fast before they pushed him from his pedestal.“Alex we love you““We are with you always““We will be your family now“Words of encouragement were being s
“How did you survive the attack“ Grandma Elise has been quiet since he and Alex came to sit under the Oak tree at the back of the big house. Her mind was so full of questions but her tongue so heavy to speak and her mouth so hard to ask. Alex has also been mute, he knew there was a sack full of curiosity within him to empty; but he was waiting for the old woman to clear her mind first and not burden her with anything she doesn’t want to say. Her first question made his heart smile and hurt at the same time. His memories pushed their image into his eyes, and it watered over. “My father sent me away on the pretense that I have to school abroad. I was angry at him at a point in time because I felt he was trying to erase my existence from my home, he was pushing me away because he did not want me to be happy with my life ; how wrong I was. He was saving me from the lion’s den and I had no idea. I felt something was off when he came home one night very angry about a smuggling in his own h
