“No I’m not.” Nicholas replied calmly. His deep voice added a touch of firmness to the reply. Jean looked at him, looked even harder, looked away and looked back again. He showed his head and stood up, putting both hands on his hip“I’ve been talking to a mad man this entire time haven’t I? You have gone bloody senile haven’t you?” Jean accused him. Nicholas found it funny although he knew it wasn’t . Only mad men would think of doing what he was asking for.“The Prince has the influence I need to get into the En Companion Tower. I’ve tried and failed before. I won’t fail again, I need his help to make sure of that.”“The prince of IRLORE is the devil. He is from hell. He answers to the devil every night and he sleeps with witches. He is bellzabul or whatever they call it. He will rip in pieces before you cross the border into his neighboring states, not even his state. He doesn't do favors, you of all people know that.”“Still I need his help. My enemy brought an entire army against

Their lips disentangled, Zalaya stepping back and lowering her head a little. Her dress was a little wet. Nicholas made a faint smile. There was a short pause after that. The two not sure who would go first eventually Nicholas did.“You are still hanging onto that old crush, haven’t you? You should move on, you know. You should forget me.”“Let's not… let’s not talk about it.”“How is your health? Do you still get the nose bleed?” he looked right into her eyes. He knew when she was lying and she was just about to tell a lie.“I’m…getting better.”“Don’t lie. You know I hate that. “ Nicholas took off his shoes and dried his feet. Zalaya rushed off to get him something to change into. Seconds later, she waltzed back into the room and looked at Nicholas.“You can put this on…” her voice cut off, her eyes growing wider. Nicholas was standing in the middle of the room, with his khakis and his shirt folded up in his arms. She gulped. He looked so different. It’s only been two years since sh

“Daddy he is bleeding.  You can’t be asking him questions in a situation like this.” Zalaya yelled at her father, he sneered at her, she ignored him, rushing to Nicholas.“Zalaya, wait…” Nicholas grumbled, getting up painfully. He straightened himself, clenching his teeth as he swallowed the pain and heaved. He looked The prince in the eyes again.“You are right, I am related to the Belford family’s patriarch. He is my father. I am the heir of the Belford family.”Everyone looked at him. There was an instant spell of silence on their lips, then, The Prince began to laugh. His laughter filled the entire room. It sounded so freaking upsetting. Nicholas clenched his fist, but everything about him was calm. He stood firm, with his dead eyes, blood dripping from his bullet wound.It took the big fat Prince five minutes to finally stop laughing. He came close to Nicholas and patted him on the back, really hard. The Prince breathed, chuckling a little bit.“Oh boy, you have quite a sense of

“I understand. I..”“Oh no, you don’t get to tell me what you will give, I make the demands. Everything has to be in my favor, remember that.”Nicholas sealed his lips, nodded his head obediently. The Prince made a smug look, glancing at this baby girl a few times before he finally made a decision. “My offer is very simple. Since I pretty much have everything in the world and more, I will need you to sleep with my daughter.”Nicholas’ smile vanished. He glanced at Zalaya, she pretended like she didn’t know what was happening. Like she didn’t even hear it. He turned away calmly. Well, he was in the house of a devil, there was no way his demand would not be unreasonable, he should have expected this but still..“Don’t worry, you don’t need to marry her. I have better options for her. But since my little rainbow sweet cake wants you, I have to let her have what she wants. Give her two good nights and the nuke is yours. If she is satisfied, you have three nukes if you want.” The Prince la

EN COMPANION TOWERNicholas stood in front of the finest tower ever built in the whole world. More beautiful than any of the other four towers. The beautiful tower has been wrecked. It looked like a zombie version of its original look. Well, he expected the chaos would escalate to the point of damaging the tower but this kind of damage, he did not fathom at all.He looked down at the scorched and bludgeoned bodies of Anton’s henchmen. Anton was not amongst them. It didn’t surprise him though. He knew he would have to hunt Anton and he was already loving the thought of that.“I count about eighty four bodies. That’s almost everyone we made sure was in the tower when we released the broadcast. Huh, I have to admit these people did a better job than any Mafia gang I know. We should do this again. I wonder if we can employ this city to become our henchmen.”She looked at Nicholas, he was not saying a word. He didn’t even catch the joke. She clicked her mind. Honestly she had to stop carin

Nicholas drove into a parking space , a mile away from the airport. He alighted from his car, pulled out a briefcase and then a pair of back glasses. He covered his eyes, while striding out of the lot.He made his way to the airport like a calm salesman looking to pitch a deal. He walked into the airport and casually stopped beside the waiting seats where people sat and chatted while awaiting their flight time. He scanned for an empty spot, there were a few. He picked one at random. Well, it looked like that’s what he did..He crossed his legs and smiled at the guy next to him. He extended his  hands and Hagan took it, shaking him warmly.“Have you been waiting a while?” Nicholas asked, checking his watch.“No. Not really. But it doesn’t matter how long I wait, so long as I get what I was waiting for.”  Hagan replied. Nicholas beamed with warmth and optimism, like he wasn’t about to make a cold-hearted deal.“Well, I’m sure this will find you well then.” Nicholas rummaged through his

The husky fellow stepped aside, allowing the pretty lady to go first. The woman took off the thin purple scarf that tried a little to hide her cleavage.She sauntered to Nicholas’ table and pulled herself a seat. She crossed her leg and let out a loud sigh. “This view is getting so old. When will this restaurant change this crappy sight? I mean it’s about time, don’t you think?” She glanced at Nicholas. He met her gaze and looked away, ignoring her. His vodka was more important and he made sure she understood that.“Drinking alone huh? That must be so lonely.” She stood up and circled around the table. Her fingers crawled up Nicholas’ arm and stopped on his shoulder. She massaged him gently while she brought her lips close to his ears and whispered.“Don’t waste a lovely night like this. I know a really good place where you can have all the vodka you want and even more.” She stuck out her tongue and licked his lips. Nicholas shuddered, standing up from his seat and shaking her off imm

“What do you want? Have I offended you in any way?” Nicholas took two steps back, demurely settling on a chair that was conveniently lying behind him. He crossed his legs and sighed.“I’ve offended a lot of people these days. If you are going to say yes, then I suggest you also tell me how and when I offended you because I’m going to need a lot of details before I can remember.”The husky fellow began to laugh. He chuckled so loud even the heavens could hear him. He looked back at Nicholas and laughed a little more before he said. “It's how you are so convinced this is a very simple situation, that amuses me. Well you know how it is. A man who doesn’t understand what he has done, will also never understand the consequences.”“Well why don’t you tell me what exactly I did. Perhaps I might understand these consequences you are talking about.”“Its very simple really. You displeased someone and that someone came to me and my friends, asking us to save him, to end his problems. That probl

A HOUR LATERThe husky fellow stood over the body of Nicholas, staring down at what he had done. There was blood all over the  floor and on his suit. He looked like he had just slaughtered an animal. Lumps of Nicholas’ flesh were lying around. He had carelessly flung them in different directions while he’s performing his terrible knife job and listening to the blood curdling sound of Nicholas’ scream.The fellow puffed, dipping his bloody hand in his pocket and pulling out his phone. He dialed the last number on his contact list. The phone rang before the guy on the other end picked up.“Is he dead or alive?” was the first thing the receiver spoke immediately he put the phone close to his lips.“He is alive, unfortunately.”“Bring him back then. It’s not our fault he has such a rotten fate.”“I will do that. I’m going to need my brothers, it’s quite…” he glanced at Nicholas. “Red and wet over here. I will need someone to drive me out, give me a change of everything. Make it a comfy ca

MILES AWAY FROM THE MANOR IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERENora walked into a bar adjacent to a children’s center. She ordered a big jug of rum. The bar man gave her a long look before he went ahead to pour her a jug full of rum.“You must be quite a drinker. I don’t see a lot of girls around here who can drink more than three glasses of champagne, talk more of a jug full of rum.” He put down the bottle. “If you don’t mind, can I know where you are from? Perhaps it's because of your native land that you have such skill.”Nora put the jug close to her lips and gulped down the entire thing, she turned the jug over and shook it above her head, her way of saying it’s empty. She slammed the jug on the table. The men in the bar turned heads. Some smiled, obviously impressed by what she just did.“Give me another shot. I’m feeling like getting drunk before I head home.” She told the bar man. He nodded, answering a “Yes mam.” Before he hurried off to get two stronger brands of run for her. He mixed h
