Louis looked forward, unmoved by the reaction of people around him. Some of them looked fearful as jitters ran down their spine, causing them to shiver awkwardly, while others, the original competitors who started from the first test of the game, looked relaxed, their composure showing off their fearless nature.“Ladies and gentlemen, please can I have your attention,” the voice echoed through the speakers, causing Louis to mutter the word “finally”He leaned forward but remained conscious of where his foot tread. His eyes stayed fixed on the speaker, his ears stretched impatiently, waiting to hear what the next statement would be.The gap in silence from the speaker made him angry and question why they waited. They already have our attention, what are they still waiting for, Louis muttered. He knuckled his left palm and gazed in the direction where he spoke to Jessica and Raul, but they were not there. His main fear was Greg, who though he had not seen him, Louis could sense the tw

Chapter 124BLOOD!” Louis exclaimed. Speechlessly taking glances at the writing and Queen.“Can someone explain to me what happened here?” Louis yelled at the guardsThey rushed to his side, at a loss for answers to tell him. Their mouths quivered in fear as they pretended they were just seeing it.“What is this? How come this appeared here?” Louis thundered to the guards.They opened their mouths with no sounds coming out from them. Louis gaped at the blood in silence, shaken to his bones; he had never seen anything like this, not since the last docu-series of true crime he watched months ago. This was a dream, he prayed to feel a light tap that would wake him up from this gory scene but the rancid stench of the blood slapped him back from his wishes.He came closer to the scene, the blood was fresh on the floor, and it was a message written for him. He glanced at Queen who stared at him with worried eyes.“Is this what you tried to stop me from seeing?” Louis askedShe nodded and po

The guards scanned the area, noticing the gate behind them were locked. They stared back at Queen who was making real on her threats.“How do you know of this and why didn't we see you enter,” they asked “The patriarchy must have messed up your head!” Queen blurted out “If I recall, you are in no position to be asking questions”“I know but I think we are on the same page,” The spokesperson of the ex-guards said “You knew we were plotting with an outsider to threaten Louis and you remained silent. If you ask me, we can work together…” Queen, without waiting for the guard to complete his statement, rushed forward, giving him a hot slap on his face. Her eyes burned like an angry goddess, sending hailstones to her offenders“How dare you insinuate that. I am nothing like you and will never be,” she claimed.“And for your information, I came early to file a document that was important but luckily, there I was, watching the five of you talking mysteriously to a stranger,”Queen was on a

She begged for Louis to take her words seriously, to trust her when she said she had handled it to a certain extent.“I can feel the temptation to add this to your cart but you must consider yourself,”Louis stared at Queen, giving her words a thought. Everything sounded like facts to him but he couldn't hold himself from handling his problem. His fingers itched to get busy and his conscience wanted a dismissal of her pleas. However, deep down in his heart, he wanted to see if Queen had what it took to hold true to her words. With a grudge filled heart and a reply that felt like the weight of the world, crumpled upon it, muffling the volume of his voice.“Okay, thank you very much,” Louis uttered.Queen gaped at him, thinking Louis gave her a response to another question. She asked again if Louis would fuss over the situation but Louis gave her the same half-hearted response.“Gosh!” She exclaimed, brushing her hair to the side. “I didn't know you'd agree so easily,”Louis kept silen

Was Mrs Kimberly a good person to associate with? He wondered. Was she worth any trouble? And if he turned out she was actually devious, would he be able to protect her?It also puzzled Louis why he never thought of this; maybe it was his instincts.“Desperate times call for desperate measures,” Louis stated. He decided to add Mrs Kimberly as part of his future alliance. He hoped they would work in his favor and never backstab him.The day went by without Louis making up his mind about his pick for the designs, but he was resolved to decide who would form his alliance.The next day, Louis went to a location to meet up with Greg. It marked the second time he waited for him. Louis subtly prayed for Greg to put any thought of wearing disguises aside. He wasn't in a mood to attract attention, especially when people knew who Greg was.However, to Louis' dismay, there was Greg dressed in casual wear at a five-star restaurant. The address was sent to him an hour after their last call, making
