“Are we going bankrupt?”Freya's voice burned with unfiltered anger and unheld emotions as she looked right into his eyes and spat them.The tired and shamed Lucas jerked sharply, as though hebhad just seen a ghost.“Freya!” He cried, almost crashing his head into the post.“Yes! I asked you a question?”He quickly rubbed his eyes and sat upright. He tried to reach out to her but she threw his hands away. The sizzling anger that burned in her and was written all over her face told him he was in great trouble tonight.“I'm sorry, I didn't hear you clearly. What was your question?” He yawned.“I said, are we going bankrupt?”His eyes shone in shock as he couldn't believe and also understand why Freya would come up with such question.“No… we're not bankrupt.”His reply was confident and Freya's scowl didn't weak his firm demeanor. However, Freya couldn't understand why he was acting the way he was lately at events and everything were pointers to one fact–they’re broke.“Explain this!”S

The next day, a new spirit burned in his soul. He decided to launch a new project for the company, maybe it would serve as a new distraction.Freya on the other hand had been sulking and barely ate. She going pale, but didn't care about it. Lucas felt her pain, but just couldn't do anything about it.Anytime he thought about his inability to help, tears always escaped his eyelids, but however, today wasn't for that.“Maybe, when I launch this new project and set in motion, maybe I'll win her again. Maybe I'll get the idea to get her back, I hope this system stuff would be over by then.”Those words felt like his morning prayers and thereafter, he headed out. But before he did, he peeped into Freya's room, she was curled up on a pillow and wet with tears.A deep sigh escaped his lips as he left the house in frustration.His engine hummed speedily out of the garage, it suddenly felt like it was new driver that held the wheels and it sped off into the distance.He turned on the music in

His heart thumped against his rib cage as his eyes scanned through the room, his quivering voice echoed across the area.“Freya!!! Freya!!!”He crashed to the ground in pain, his mind shattered. His soul was vexed as he never knew she'd leave. He never thought she'd be able to just walk out, and now, all the blame was on him.His heart sweared with pain as he tumbled the whole house, tearing everything down just to find her.After a futile search at home, he pickd up his phone, the fast clicks of his fingers against the screen filled the air. His eyes locked on it and the beeping sound of the call sang in his ears.“Come on, pick up…”His occasional groans were synchronized with the angry tapping of his feet against the cold floor that sent chills down his spine.The painful sensations that ran through his spine made him lose his control. Tears rolled down his cheek as he stared blankly into the phone, as if looking at her.“Freya, I'm sorry for everything. Please, just come back…” he

His mind pondered on the whole thing as he sat alone in the office, late at night while everyone had gone home.He was researching what brought the school down. His gaze was fixed on the screen as beads of sweat ran down his pale skin.His mind pondered on what could have happened that was hidden so badly that he couldn't find online.However, not finding it online was not an issue. There were other ways for any tech expert to get information.A smile tugged across the corners of his lips as he tossed that laptop aside and licked up another.He knew just what he had to do. In a few minutes, he was on t the nuke and crannies of the dark web, seeking for that high profile crime the school may have committed that was so hidden.His eyes shone with shock as he gazed at his screen, his mouth agape in disbelief.“No wonder. What?!”His mind was enveloped with shock as he couldn't understand how such could happen?“Raymond, the son of the last mayor was in a relationship with a teacher that

His body was pale with fear as he saw the cold body forced inside the toilet. Fear enveloped him and he almost threw up. He was shaken and just stood by the corner.The only luck they had was that the parents and every other person was too busy fighting for a spot for his scholarship. This was an advantage and as such, they had to act fast.By close examination, the body was still fresh and it seemed like the murder happened somewhere else and the body was dumped there. This was when he remembered that cryptic message he got before opening the school.‘Who is this that just wants to bring me down?’ he thought as he stood in frustration, his suit drenched in sweat. However, it wasn't something he would allow to spoil his day.“I want this place to be sealed and security be mounted here so no one has access to this area for today,” he ordered, his voice heavy with the words. Beads of sweat rolled down his head as he personally checked all the other classes, toilets and offices to make
