Butterflies fluttered in his stomach. Was he really about to have his first kiss?Charlene's heart pounded as Dalton's hot breath touched her nose. His brown lips were only inches away and she closed her eyes. And...*BEEP BEEP*Their watch started beeping and flashing red.***Melanie struggled with the two masked men holding her in Alexia's bedroom. One held her torso covering her mouth while the other man tried to tie her ankles with a rope.They had been struggling for almost fifteen minutes now. The men didn't think Melanie would be this strong.How did they end up like this?When Melanie entered the house, she spoke with Alexia about her pregnancy for some minutes. Alexia went to her room to get something and Melanie heard her scream. She rushed to her room only to be grabbed by these men and they've been struggling since.The man's grip was tight but Melanie still wriggled and struggled, making it difficult for them to tie her down. "Stay still, you." The man holding hissed an

Melanie woke up to the scent of iodoform. She closed her eyes immediately as a bright white light almost blinded her. Using her hands to block the light rays, she opened her eyes and blinked speedily to unblur her eyesight. She was in a room that almost looked like a hospital ward. The windows were closed, so the only source of light was the white light bulb. Almost everything in the ward was white including the walls, ceiling, bed she was lying on, the first aid box attached to the wall, and the white cupboard next to a white table that had a sterilizer on it. Melanie had no problem knowing which room she was in. It was Richard's mansion infirmary. She was dressed in a white patient gown. She touched her side and felt medical plasters covering her injury. Apart from a slight headache and a little pain from her injury, she seemed okay. The door opened as Brian and Charlene walked in to check on her. "Mel, thank goodness." Charlene beamed and bent towards her. "How are you feeli

Finding Gabe's house wasn't a problem. They just had to ask Lana for it. Even though she wondered why they asked, she told them.So, that same Thursday, at night, Dalton parked a black Toyota Corolla near the building next to Gabe's house.Brian examined the neighborhood. The area was secluded from the highway so it was quiet. Only the chirping of crickets from the bushes could be heard. The neighborhood gave a haunted vibe."Good. Let's do this." Brian said.They emerged from the car. They were all dressed in black turtlenecks, black elastic pants, black boots, and black beanies. The black contrasted with the darkness, so it was difficult to spot them in the dark.Two Gray Guardians, which Brian brought to help, came out of the car behind them.Brian took the lead. He walked cautiously towards Gabe's bungalow front door. As expected, the front door was locked. Gabe and his friends weren't home.On the highway, they saw them leave with their new car. Their departure was Brian's clue t

That same day, at nine o'clock, the black Corolla parked in front of Gabe's house again with another car trailing behind. Once the car had been parked, they emerged from it. Just like the previous day, they were dressed in black turtlenecks, black jeans, black boots, and black beanies. It felt like a deja vu. But unlike the previous day, two Nightbirds and two Butterflies followed them this time, no Gray Guardians. The Butterflies were dressed in their uniform – an overall tight-fitting leather suit while the Nightbirds were dressed like the rest of them. Brian tried his best to avoid looking at their curvy bodies for too long. "You two, stay here and keep watch. Alert us if any emergency comes up." Brian ordered the two Nightbirds with authority, which they bowed to. They proceeded to the front door. Brian didn't bother checking whether anyone was home or not. If anyone was at home, it's not like they can do anything to stop them. Brian kicked the front door. The force snapped t

A look of surprise formed on Gabe's face as he stared at the picture. The picture depicted Brian entering the university. "Uh..." Gabe hesitated, realizing he was in another trouble. He should have gotten rid of the picture instead of dropping it here. But then, he wasn't expecting Brian to discover his secret room. "Do you want us to start this again?" Brian growled. He waved the syrup bottle. "I'll start with Andrew this time." "I'll talk." Andrew offered. Before Gabe could shoot him a glare, Andrew started blurting out. "That's the picture someone sent to us for a job." Brian gave him a quizzical look. "What job?" "Andrew." Gabe interrupted with a raised voice and a warning glare. Brian shot his own warning glare. "Do you want to end up like TJ over there?" Andrew gulped and glanced at TJ who was still stroking his genitalia. He couldn't take the risk. "He gave us your picture...so...we could..." His voice lowered. "...kidnap you." Silence followed Andrew's revelation a
