He panted heavily as they were enclosed in the tunnel. At least, now they were breathing but an eerie hun whispered in the background. His heart raced and he was gasping for breath.Angela stood in shock and her eyes darted around the area, her hands tightly clasped on the gun. John's heart raced against his chest and a wave of fear washed them all. As for the rest, they were always panting, just that this time, it was worse. Their hearts were far away from their souls and the chaos ruled the air.Goosebumps filled the skins as they turned around, searching for something they didn't even understand.Lucas was fighting to be calm, but his breath failed him this time. He couldn't breathe, despite the fresh air that was coming in. His lungs locked and his chest was filled with guilt and fear.For a fleeting second, he saw Freya's beautiful face, her lips whispered softly into his ears—don’t give up. Don't be afraid.Those words sparked vigour in him and he stood firm with grit, his fist

The fortress shook heavily. The walls vibrated violently and Lucas and his crew tumbled over. Their hearts raced sharply as they fought back to their feet and his grip tightened on the gun.He listened closely, using his hearing ability and heard rivals chattering outside. They were the ones behind the explosion. It was clear the fortress had locked the moment they walked through it and they couldn't get in. They had to try explosives to force the door open.Lucas pinned his ear against the wall, listening to every detail of their conversation, paying attention to every small detail and his eyes narrowed.The others laid low and the place was consumed with a sickening silence. Lucas' eyes darted around the area as he continued to listen to their faint voices.“Release the missile,” the words sent shivers down his spine.“Get down!” He dived immediately to the ground, his body thud against the ground, alongside the others.The place shook again violently, the walls vibrated and the ear

My heart raced but the uncertainty clawing in my heart quickened my pulse. My eyes were on alert after what had happened and something tells me we're not alone in here.Our footsteps clicked softly against the stone staircase as we descended into the darkness, his mind paced endlessly with questions he didn't even remember. But above all, the feeling of being watched crawled beneath his skin.However, he forged ahead, leading the crew with the beaded sweat on his head and a faint breath. Angela's grip tightened on her gun each passing second as she stood by the rear. The darkness continually swallowed the luminance of their flashlights and soon, they were going to be completely consumed by it.John's eyes darted around the area, his heart swelling with pain each passing second. As for the others, fear was understatement to what they felt. If and only if it was possible, they would have gone back home.Lucas' head ached and he was totally numbed from any emotion. To him, to win this ba

A chilling sensation filled his spine as he scanned the walls carefully. His fingers scanned them carefully and he was careful of where he stepped on.The walls revealed lots of patterns, symbols and certain strange drawings. The ground beneath them vibrated softly as if something beneath was breathing.His heart was clawed with an icy wall of fear and his soul sank in a drowning river of agony and regret. But it was too late to regret anything. He had already come this far and the way it seemed, he was just a few strides to the finish line.Giving up wasn't an option and even if it was, there was no way. Each door they unlocked closed with another pattern the moment they walked through it so there was no way out.They gathered together and studied the pattern together like a team. It was a puzzle tied to ancient monarch timelines…The pattern baffled then, but Lucas was filled with determination and ready to take it head on.Their bodies leaned against each other as they studied them

“Slow and steady…” Lucas whispered, his voice echoed softly. Their hearts pounded against their chests as they moved into the tunnels slowly. There skins were covered with goosebumps and thief breaths hitched inside their throats.Lucas took the led, Angela was by his side, her eyes narrowing at intervals while John stayed behind them all, his fist tightly clasped on his gun.His breath was shallow and the sound of their boots echoed in the tunnels. It was metallic, almost like the one they escaped from when they went to get John, the only difference was it was straight and large enough to be walked on.Lucas' eyes scanned through the walls, his fingers outlining the eerie markings. “Those who seek immortality…” he whispered, his breath faltered.His mind was filled with thoughts and the questions just kept increasing each passing second.What was the main aim of this mission? Why did the system want this artifact? What can it do? Why did it choose him?His heart raced as he moved sl

Sweat rolled down their foreheads as their eyes scanned the terrifying area. Lucas's heart pounded, and though pain clouded his mind, there was absolutely no going back now. "Gean," he called. She responded with a soft ting as she began her system scan. The others joined the slow search, their eyes poised in the thick darkness that brought deep shivers down their spines.Lucas was fearless and completely relentless, he pushed ahead, leading the team by himself. Angela walked steadily by his side, her focus unwavering, while John took the rear, covering their back. Gean clung to the wall, her sophisticated sensors scanning the messy puzzles that lined the path. They were a chaotic mix, foreign and ancient languages, complex math problems, and traps beyond human comprehension. For them to succeed in this mission, the meaning of every single one of those puzzles had to be unlocked.Lucas moved ahead, his grip tight on his rifle and his breath was shallow. Their feet thumped softly a

Their gaze fell on Samantha as she walked rapidly with a smile on her face as she walked towards Eric, who looked away from her as he wanted to act like he was angry at her. She chuckled lightly, and she sat on the couch beside him, heaving a sigh before she talked.“I am so sorry for getting you worried. When I just received the call from him, and he asked me to come over, I didn't know what to do. I had wanted to tell you, but he had instructed me not to tell you.” She explained and at this point, Lydia was already smiling.“You got us all worried. But I am glad that you are alright.” Lydia talked even before Eric could talk, and they both tilted their heads to look at her. Samantha smiled slightly before she inhaled deeply, clearing her throat to talk.“I honestly did not mean to put you all through such position. I apologize for that.” Samantha pleaded, and then there was a moment of silence before Eric cleared his throat slightly, tilting his head to see the expression on Samanth

“It's Emily.” Her voice echoed and Eric quickly drew his face into a puzzle as he looked at her before she picked up the call and placed it over her ear to talk to Emily. Eric looked away from her as different thoughts ran through his mind. Just then, he tilted his head back to look at Lydia, who was still talking to Emily over the phone.“Where are you now?” Lydia asked and then tilted her head to look at Eric, who was looking directly into her eyes for a moment before she brought the phone off her ear to place the call on the loudspeaker.“On my way out of my house, I met someone in front of my doorstep. He is not letting me leave the house. Have you arrived at Master Eric's house?” She talked rapidly, and Eric slowly took his gaze away as different thoughts ran through his mind. “What was she talking about?” He asked himself.“Yes. I got here not long ago. I thought that I was going to meet you here, but the reverse was the case. Who is that person that is holding you from reaching

“That's very true. But at least, I should have gotten a hint that she was going out. Even if she did not tell me that she was coming to your place. Do you know how worried I was?” Eric asked in a sharp tone as he heaved a heavy sigh of relief.“Well, sorry you had to go through all those worries. I am done actually with her, and she will be back to your pace very soon.” He said, and Eric inhaled deeply as he looked to expel his anger and talk in a calm tone. He stood up from the bed and just as he was about to talk, a knock came in on the door, and he turned around to walk to the door.“Okay. I will be waiting for her.” He heaved a sigh as he walked to the door to get the door. As he tilted the doorknob, his gaze fell on the maid who brought his food to him, and he opened the door widely for her to bring the food inside the room. “Thank you. Is this for me and my wife?” He could not help but ask as he looked at her in the eyes, and she looked away before she nodded her head slowly be

Eric woke up to the buzzing sound of his phone, and he opened his eyes slowly to check who was calling him. As he looked around for his phone, he noticed that Samantha was not in bed with him, and it made him draw a puzzled face as he wondered where she could be at that point in time. Not minding that his phone was ringing, he sat up slowly on the bed and rubbed his palm over his face as he thought deeply, about where she might be. A thought popped up in his mind and he tilted his head immediately to look at the bathroom, but there was no sign at all that she was there.“Samantha!” He yelled out and waited to see if he would get any response, but he did not get any. He gradually came off the bed, heaving a sigh as he tossed his phone on the bed before walking towards the bathroom to check.“Samantha!” He called lowly as he walked inside the bathroom and looked everywhere but could not find her. “Where is she?” He asked himself as he quickly walked out of the room and headed out to lo

“How did you know that?” Samantha asked with a frown on her face, but Eric kept tapping her gently to maintain calmness so that Rachael could go on with what she was saying.“Someone told me about it. I would not say the name of the person for some reason.” She raised her head to look at her daughter and then at Eric for a moment before she inhaled deeply to talk.“I know, you probably don't ever want to have anything to do with me, but I just want you to let me clear my mind and make things right.” “There is nothing to make a right, mom. You already made your mark and you stood by it.” Samantha chipped in immediately, tilting her head to look at her husband for a moment before she exhaled deeply.“Sam, I told you to calm down. Just let her finish what she has to say.” Eric tilted his head back to look at Rachael before he talked to her.“You can go on.” Eric's voice echoed, and Rachael made a sign to thank him. She inhaled deeply before she continued to talk.“As I was saying, I kno

Samantha brought the phone off her ear quickly to end the call. Her heart began to beat erratically as she did not know what was going on with her mother. She took in several deep breaths to calm her racing heart, but it only got was. She constantly checked her phone to see if her mother had sent the address to her, but she had not sent it. Eric noticed how perturbed she was, and then he moved closer to her to talk to her.“You should be calm. She is going to be alright.” He said in a low tone, and she immediately tilted her head to look at Eric who had a pale look on his face.“She still had not sent her address. I don't think there is anyone with her right now.” She could not but talk back at him, looking away immediately after she finished talking.“I know. But I want you to be calm. You should not harm yourself before she sends her address….” Just as he was trying to talk to her, her phone suddenly chimed, and she quickly brought it to look at what came in. She noticed that Rachae

"Everything with Mr Peter has been settled. I'm sorry it was chaotic dealing with him," Mr Smith apologized to Liam."I don't want your apology. I know it would happen this way," Liam said trying to force a smile but he was burning with rage.He wished he was able to deal with Peter this way sooner, then he wouldn't have gone through the hell he saw in the hands of him and his mother."Take me to any top restaurant around. I'm famished," Liam said to his driver."Yes sir," The driver replied and started heading towards the car."Should I join you," Mr Smith asked."Of course," Liam replied.He started heading to the car to meet his driver. Mr Smith ran after him.They got in and his driver drove out of the company's premises."I found five top restaurants around on Google Maps. Which will you love to go," Mr Smith asked, showing Liam the restaurants he found on the map."The first one," Liam replied and handed the tablet back to Mr Smith."Let's head a bit towards town," Mr Smith said

I would have thought of letting this go, but you went overboard,” Liam said to the attendant, while at the store.Here he told the store owner that the attendant should be sacked.Liam asked the store owner to give out books to each and every one of the students whatever they wanted and he left with the driver after telling him he was going to the company.Mr Smith asked Liam to go with him but he refused stating that he’d need to settle the student who was still waiting for him. Seeing he insisted Mr Smith agreed. Then he assigned a driver to Liam before he left.At the company the driver packed at the parking lot and Liam came down walking to the company, but as he was about to go in, he saw Peter coming out from his car.Liam immediately moved sideways and he pretended not to see Peter because he didn’t want any trouble, nor did he want to be reminded of how he was betrayed by Peter.As he took one step further, he heard his name being called from behind.“ Hi Liam, so surprising I

The butler of Liam’s Grandpa Mr Smith was pacing around in his room, with a phone in his ear. He’d actually told him about Liam’s decision about returning home.Grandpa Kendrid was so happy, he didn’t believe after years of looking for his grandson that he could finally find him. At first he thought it was his wishful thinking, but now it has become a reality.“Really? I don’t believe you,” His voice boomed from the other end.“I’m not joking Grandmaster, he’d be returning sooner that expected,” Mr Smith said and Grandpa Kendrid Joy knew no boundaries.“Did he tell you when he’d be returning?” He asked.“Not yet Sir, he’s still very much busy for now, but I’m working towards bringing him home as soon as possible, so rest assured,” Mr Smith replied and he sighed.“Thank goodness he’d be back, at least I won’t bother about my legacy going down the drain without an heir.” Grandpa Kendrid said.“I’ll make him come back,”“I hope you’ve given him everything he’d need for the time being? I

Liam had already left the hotel room. He was walking around the area looking for where to board a cab so he could go to the company like he agreed on last night, but the place was only flagged with luxurious cars all around.As he walked further, he was surprised to see some group of students crying in front of a store.Liam slowed his steps as he approached the bookstore, his curiosity increased by the sight of the crying students. They were huddled together, their faces wet with tears, their voices hushed. He couldn't help but wonder what had happened, what could have caused such distress. He hesitated, unsure if it was appropriate to intrude on their moment of grief. But something told him to move closer, to try to offer comfort if he could.“Hey kids, what’s wrong?” Liam asked but their cries only increased.“We were chased out of school because we didn’t have any textbooks,” The older one among them said and Liam sighed.Liam felt an overwhelming urge to help the students. He wa

In just about fifteen minutes or so if he calculated right, Liam heard hurried footsteps and a familiar figure walking into the hotel.The figure was Mr Smith as she walked up to Liam, panting heavily.“Young master,” He smiled at Liam who kept a steady reaction as he didn’t know what to say.The guests and staff who saw how Mr Smith was reacting towards Liam wondered what was going on. He was the same man a young lady belittled a while ago. How come he was receiving such attention from a man who drove in with convoys? They didn’t know he was a big shot who wasn’t aware of it himself.“Young master, please come with me,” Mr Smith said and he immediately led the way.As the walked out, he saw a sleek black car idling in front of the hotel. The moment he got close to it, the door was opened and he went into it. He leaned back in the seat and he let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding.“Do you need anything? I came as fast as I could,” Mr Smith said, furrowing his already squeezed

Liam’s eyes widened in shock as he recognized the person’s voice. He stood frozen, unable to move or speak. His mind raced, trying to make sense of what he heard. It couldn't be real, it had to be a mistake. But as he turned back and looked into the person's eyes, he knew it was no mistake. The person in front of him was real, and the presence was like a punch to the gut. His heart pounded in his chest, his palms grew sweaty. He felt like he was falling, spiraling out of control.“I guess you’ve lost your way, because you wouldn’t be given a job here as a cleaner, talk more of a waiter,” The voice said again, it was no other than his ex wife, Ella.Liam heaved a heavy sigh and turned away from the woman who had caused him such pain. He took a few steps, but his feet felt heavy, weighted down by all the emotions churning inside him. He couldn't bring himself to leave, no matter how hard he tried. He kept looking back over his shoulder, unable to resist pulling her into his arms, b
