Drax gripped the steering wheel tightly as he navigated the crowded streets. Cara sat beside him, her eyes fixed on her phone."We're almost there," she said, her voice low and pressured.Drax grunted as his his eyes scanned the road ahead. He hated hospitals. Hated the smell of disinfectant and the sound of beeping machines. As they turned into the hospital parking lot, Cara pointed to a vacant spot. "There."Drax pulled into the spot and killed the engine. Then, in unison, they opened their doors and stepped out onto the pavement.Holding Cara's hand, they rushed into the hospital and soon met with a nurse at the nurse's station who directed them to room 3 on the VIP suites where Cara's father was admitted.Taking a lift, they went to the fourth floor and located the room. When Cara saw her grandfather lying on the bed unconscious, she gasped and clasped her hands on her mouth."Oh my God…" Cara muttered as she stepped closer to him. A maid was tending to the older man and she sto

"Drax, are you okay?" Cara asked while Drax looked around, wearing a frown on his face. His system was still sending waves and waves of warning his way. But Drax could not see any threats around."Yes, I'm fine-" he stopped when he turned to Cara and found her frozen on the spot. Her lips were parted, eyes fixed on a spot, and the gentle humming that once livened the restaurant instantly died down.Drax gently stood up from his seat and looked at other customers. They were all frozen as well. Even the drinks weren't spared as a customer's glass that was being rocked in his hand earlier, slanted toward the right, almost spilling the amber coloured champagne."What is going on right now?" Drax asked his system. The blue light appeared in his mind's eye.[He's here]The system replied to him. Drax's brows furrowed as he kept looking around."Who's here?" He asked again, and suddenly, the floor began to vibrate. Drax took a step back as a large crack suddenly appeared on the ground and e

"Jason, guess who I just saw right fucking now!" Kira gritted her teeth as Jason picked up the call from the other side of the phone."Who?" Jason asked, his tone discordant and harsh, but Kira didn't sense it. She was too angry to pick up hints."It was my good-for-nothing ex-husband. That trash really has gotten his hands dirty!" She yelled as she dug her fingers into her hair, clawing at it.Jason let out a sigh, but Kira couldn't believe her ears."Are you even listening to me? I'm telling you something serious right now. That bastard allegedly bought our wedding car. What the hell are we supposed to do now? So many things aren't connected!" She said again."Your ex is now the acting CEO of Blackview Incorporated. I got fired today. And I heard them calling him Drax. It's fucking crazy," Jason dropped the bombshell.Kira's heart skipped a beat while she received the news. "What do you mean you got fired? How did Alex or Drax or whatever his name is I don't fucking care, get your

The car parked with a subtle screech in front of DQ cars dealership, and Drax stepped out. He gazed at the building for a moment before he gently approached while the driver hurled off to the garage.The security men shot him glares as he walked into the building. He ignored their looks and was soon greeted by a large, open reception space. DQ cars dealership was the best in the city, and Drax had done his research."Are you Mr Drax who I spoke with on the phone?" A tall, lanky man appeared and took a stare down at Drax, sizing him from head to toe. Although Drax wore an expensive suit, the years of ill-treatment still took it's toll on his general appearance."I am. And what was that about you not having my proposed car in stock anymore?" Drax questioned him, but the man sighed, paying little to no regards to Drax. Of course, Drax recognized him as the manager."I'm sorry to inform you sir, but that car you wanted has been purchased already. We got a higher offer for it. But I can s

"How do you see your office, Drax?" Cara asked as they stepped into an elegant office with polished hardwood floors and floor-to-ceiling windows. A stunning executive desk, crafted from mahogany, anchored the room as soft, golden lighting and elegant artwork completed the space, creating a serene and professional atmosphere perfect for high-level meetings and focused work."It's beautiful," Drax replied and nodded his head while he gently approached the desk, trailing his fingers on it. Cara approached him."Here's my family's black card. It has one hundred million dollars inside it. It's all yours to spend on some accessories," she said and handed him a card with the Blackview family crest engraved on it."How did you make such an accurate prediction on my grandfather's business? It was almost as if you could see it coming," she asked.Drax turned to her. "I have experience in that field. Lots of experience," he said."Well, it has served you excellently. My family will ensure that

"I'm not a thief. Do not say what you don't know," Drax fumed while the accusation hit him, but the woman scoffed in response."You're supposed to be on your knees begging for your life right now! You look like the beggar that came earlier today for alms giving. How dare you break into this house to steal?" She yelled again, waving her hands in the air in an exaggerated manner.Drax was beyond angry at that point. Of all the terrible things that has happened to him that evening, this was by far the worse."Maybe I should just call the police on you. I don't know why the guards are taking so long to pick you up and throw you out of this house!" The woman added."You shouldn't speak to me in that manner," Drax replied to her gently, his face twisting into something darker."Or what? What will you do? Kill me? Are you also a killer? I should definitely get you locked up!" The woman screamed out loud."Why are you harassing my guest? Aren't you supposed to be in the kitchen cooking?" Cara

Devin didn’t care about what nonsense they warlock was spewing at him here. He didn’t care about what he did or did not do, he was going to get what he came here for. Jareth’s eyes twinkled as he watched Devin carefully, like he was studying a rare creature. The man before him was quite intriguing, and he felt powerful. But Jareth felt he could take him on if it came to it, defeat him even. “I need the necklace.” Devin said simply. Jareth leaned back against the leather armchair behind him with an amused smile playing on his lips. “Everyone needs something, Mr Stone. That’s not how transactions begin.” Devin folded his arms, trying to hold back his irritation. “Alright then. How much?” Jareth started to laugh mine Devin had told him the funniest thing ever. “Y-you want to buy it? You will go bankrupt and have your soul in debt for the rest of eternity if I give you a price.” He wiped off a tear. Devin shrugged slightly. “Money, power, land, whatever you want. N

Amanda sat down on the bed, taking her drink slowly as the warlord, Jareth Alatar, walked out of the bathroom shirtless with a towel hanging low on his hips. His necklace gleamed as he walked out and it was quite obvious that it was not made for decoration. Amanda tried not to stare at it too long. “You’re nervous.” Jareth said casually, walking over to the side of the bed where he placed a tiny black case. He opened it, revealing small silver instruments, scalpels, stones, all things that Amanda didn’t even want to try bothering to name. “Should I be?” She asked, flashing him a smile. “That depends. Do you like pain, dear?” “Only the good kind.” She replied. Jareth grinned, walking back to her and sitting down beside her with the slow confidence of a man who had never rushed for anything in his life. Amanda tried to hide her discomfort, seeing that something about him just didn’t sit right. He looked like he could kill someone with his eyes, but she had come too far to

Amanda had never felt this invisible in her entire life. She was sitting quietly of Viktor’s living room, munching on some food and scrolling through her cracked phone. Viktor had barely spoken to her in two days, let alone offer to get her a new device. No good mornings, no how are yous, and not even his usual smartass comments he would say when they discussed before all of… this happened. He barely looked even at her. The silence wasn’t peaceful, it was suffocating. She dropped the fork and crossed her arms, glaring at the back of his head. He was sitting by the window, reading a thick old book like she didn’t even exist. “You’re ignoring me, aren’t you?” She asked. Viktor didn’t even act like he was being spoken to. “So we’re doing this now?” Amanda snapped. “I’m just some bug you’re waiting to squash?” “No.” Viktor said without looking up. “Bugs at least make noise. You’ve been sulking like a rejected puppy.” Amanda’s jaw clenched. She got up and walked over, standi

Devin was sitting in a boardroom of thirty people, but it might as well have been just him. The way they looked at him said everything. They felt respect, fear, envy just by looking at him. Some of them pretended to be calm, and others just sweated through their suits like pigs in a cage. The air conditioning didn’t help them much. Devin leaned back in his chair, his fingers steepled together while his lawyer finished reading the last clause of the contract. "...and that would finalise the share transfer to Mr Stone.” The lawyer said, looking at Devin. “What do you think sir?” “What I think is that it’s unfair that he gets such a large percentage, and we get much less.” Avery Stein said, looking directly at Devin. She was a powerful woman, not as powerful as he was, but she had influence, and she wasn’t afraid to speak. Devin let the head of Forstman speak instead. “That’s because you are to earn your rankings. His share values are so much bigger because his name alone p

Amanda didn't stop walking around right away. "Maybe I'm just being paranoid.” Amanda muttered, shaking her head. It couldn't have been. She adjusted her bag higher onto her shoulder and casually checked the glass reflection of a nearby boutique window. There. The guy was still behind her, following her. "Not today." She sighed, speeding up. She cut across a row of shops, past the escalators, then down the ramp that led to the parking lot. Her legs were starting to ache but she wasn't going to stop. Right in front of the road, something fell from the top of the lot! A heavy trash bin that landed with a metallic crash, blocking the exit. Amanda took a few steps back, gasping, her heart racing. "What the hell?" She gasped, holding her chest and looking around in fear. "Is someone trying to kill me now?" She ran to the side of the road, her heart racing, hands shaking. But before she could take a proper breath, she saw him again. The hooded figure. The person was now st

Amanda sat down with a half-empty bottle of wine in her hand and kept her eyes on the ceiling fan above her. It spun slowly, creaking every few seconds like it was bored too. She was in Luther’s house, but he wasn’t home. She hadn't spoken to anyone all day, and she hadn’t eaten either. She didn’t feel very hungry. She could still remember what Viktor had told her, and it was all she could think about. Would it do her good to agree to ally with him? She blinked hard, shaking her head. Was she really considering this? Killing Kia? She was after Devin, but then again, Kia could count as a part of him. Her hand trembled slightly as she raised the bottle to her lips again. “Devin’s child.” She muttered. “Of course. It’s always fucking Devin.” She should have been the one carrying his baby. If only he was patient! But no! He had to go and be with someone else. The door opened, but she didn’t bother to look. Luther walked in, holding a bag in one hand and his keys in the other. He l

Jane stormed into the coffee shop, her eyes blazing with anger. Her friend, Rachel, looked up from her laptop, concern etched on her face."Jane, what's wrong?" Rachel asked, closing her laptop.Jane collapsed into the chair, her voice trembling. "He rejected me. Jaxson rejected me."Rachel's expression softened. "Oh, Jane. I'm so sorry."Jane's hands clenched into fists. "I went to him, poured my heart out, and he just...dismissed me. Like I meant nothing."Rachel's eyes widened. "What did he say exactly?"Jane's words spilled out in a torrent. "He said I used him, manipulated him. That he wouldn't be fooled again. Foolish? Me? Ha!"Rachel's gentle touch on Jane's arm was a stark contrast to Jane's seething emotions."Jane, maybe you should take a step back. Reevaluate—"Jane's fury boiled over. "No! You don't understand. Jaxson owes me. He used me, too. He pretended to love me, and now he's just...gone?"Rachel's voice remained calm. "Jane, you know Jaxson's engaged to Semira now. M

Jaxson's phone soon rang as his secretary put a call across to him. He had asked not to be disturbed for he wanted the entire night to himself and Semira alone."Yes?" Jaxson asked, his voice Stern."Pardon me for interrupting your night sir but Marcus Thompson is here, and he wants to see you," she said to him.Marcus was a business partner that Jaxson was trying to get a contract with. But Marcus has been proven stubborn, and Jaxson knew it was because of the silly rumors about him that spread weeks earlier."What does Thompson want?" Jaxson asked the secretary."I think he wants to pull out of the negotiations sir," She replied. Semira overhead the words and gazed at Jaxson."I'll be there" he replied and hung up. "Driver, take me to the office," Jaxson said."I'm sorry for this, Semira. I didn't think this would happen tonight," Jaxson apologized. Semira smiled and held his hand."Let's get that contract once and for all!" She replied to him.Jaxson stood confidently in the sleek

The soft glow of candlelight danced across the crystal chandeliers, casting a warm ambiance over the elegant dining room. Jaxson Green sat across from his stunning fiancée, Semira, at the city's most exclusive restaurant, Le Coeur.Their table, nestled near the floor-to-ceiling windows, offered a breathtaking view of the city skyline. The maître d' poured champagne, and Jaxson raised his glass in a silent toast.Semira's eyes sparkled as she sipped her drink. "To our future, my love."Jaxson's smile was genuine. "To forever with you."Their dinner arrived, and the aroma of roasted duck and sautéed vegetables wafted through the air. Semira closed her eyes, savoring the flavors."Mmm, this is heavenly," she whispered.Jaxson chuckled. "Only the best for my princess."As they dined, their conversation turned to their upcoming wedding."Have you finalized the guest list?" Semira asked, her brow furrowed."Almost," Jaxson replied. "I've decided to invite a few business associates, but I wa

Jane sauntered into the police station, her designer heels clicking on the worn linoleum. She flashed a saccharine smile at the officer behind the desk, her eyes gleaming with malice.What Parker just told her still made her uneasy, and the shock had not worn off her. But she had another plan to safeguard herself.It doesn't matter whether Jaxson was engaged or not. She had to get him back, and she was confident that he would.Jane smiled again. Men were tools for her to play with. Plus, she had already dated Jaxson in the past. It wouldn't be hard to get him to submit to her."Visiting my father, Vance," she cooed, handing over her ID.The officer nodded, unaware of the venom lurking beneath Jane's polished exterior.As she entered the cell, Vance looked up from his cot, his eyes weary from days of detention. "Jane, what brings you here?"Jane's smile twisted. "Just thought I'd drop by and share some...enlightening news, Father dear."Vance's instincts prickled. He could see the deme

"Jaxson Brown. Why have you called? Have you called me to float because let me tell you, you're late!" Parker snapped at Jaxson who just chuckled. "Detective. I called to extend my sympathy. Your career is over as we speak," Jaxson said to him."And whose fault is that? Huh? You leaked everything. How did you even do it? How did you get your hands on those information? I don't understand it," he said to Jaxson who Chuckled again. The winds of change had blown, and Jaxson had won."I'll advise you, Parker, to change your ways. You may think that you are discreet but I assure you there are people out there who are even more curious. Change your ways so that you will not find yourself in prison," Jaxson said to him. Parker frowned."What do you mean?" He asked. "What else do you know?" He asked Jaxson. Jaxson sighed."Isn't it obvious? I left out details of that particular murder that you committed. Didn't you observe it, Parker? That it wasn't mentioned at all?" Jaxson asked and Parke

Detective Parker drove back to the station, wondering why his boss has requested to see him in such a notice. He was especially worried about the suddenly revelation that Jaxson had made to the public.What game was he trying to play? Detective Parker wondered. With Jaxson's revelation, Parker couldn't extort money from him. He had become immune.As soon as detective Parker stepped into the station, all eyes fell on him. He suddenly became self aware as he walked past the cops glaring at him with their scrutinizing eyes. The thing about cops was that they had a way of breaking a person with their glares alone and Parker knew all too well."Hey, what's going on? Why is everyone looking at me like I just returned from space?" He asked a rookie who looked around with caution before he replied. Parker could see the hesitation in the rookie's face.He didn't want to talk to him. "Look, sir, I don't want any trouble. Just leave me alone," the rookie replied and tried to walk away but Park
