The city is calm, but it's a rainy Monday for the people of the city. The clouds make the sky gray and hide the sun. It's on a day like this that people choose to call in sick to work and just sleep for the entire day, that's when the most crazy thing happens next. Four media houses simultaneously announce that they have a very important message to share with the people. It was leaked to them at midnight, and something that they believe should get to the people because it's such heavy news…Because of this, everyone leaves their beds and jumps in front of their television and counts down to 9pm, where the video will be played on every need network….Jackson Black appears on the screen, and he looks nothing like himself. His hair has been clipped off completely, and his face is so thin that his jaw bones are jutting out. If someone didn't know him before, they would have sworn that he has some kind of terminal illness. He is videoing with his phone and he sits on wet sand, ad

Oksana is in the boardroom, where the President is having a brief meeting with members of the staff, when the news plays on the television. It's so hard stopping herself from falling to her knees because of how weak her legs have suddenly become, but she manages not to. She has to grab a chair and one of her colleagues has to ask if she is okay, because she has turned as white as a plain sheet of paper. It's Jackson on the screen as he bears everything in front of the whole world. He never told her that he was going to do something like this, else she would have told him not to. This is madness, this is suicide, and if Anthony Petrov has been lenient with him, he won't be anymore. He is going to kill him as soon as he sets his eyes on Jackson. Phone calls start to go around, and Oksana is still restless because Gaston is just there, staring unblinkingly at the screen on the wall. Is he mad? Is he impressed with this selfless act from Jackson? What?The vice president, who is s

“What the fuck? What is this bastard doing here?” Oksana doesn't waste any time to pull her gun from her holster and points it at Anthony. He has a calm look of triumph on his face, and his hands are deep in his pockets. He doesn't even try to defend himself, not when he has this many soldiers. “Get behind me, now!” Oksana yells. Jackson pulls Alex close and they stay behind Oksana. Jackson's chest is moving up and down, staring long and hard at his brother, but he knows that there is nothing he can do. Like Roman told him, his brother is going to find and end him for the global stunt that he pulled. Alas…“Gaston, what's this man doing here?” Oksana asks again, voice hoarse with rage. “Tell me before I shoot.” “Put that gun away, Oksana. It's not going to help another now. It's over,” Gaston sighs. Her eyes stings with death, she hates to admit it, but she has been defeated. How many bullets does she have in her magazine? How many men are here? Since she has refused to stop p

Stephanie is soaked in her bathtub. She is trying to get the stress of the day out of her body. She is so tired that she doesn't know when she falls asleep in the bathtub, but the door opens and Athena walks in with bloodshot eyes. That's enough to fully wake her up. “Um, Honey? What's the matter?” She takes her daughter's hand. “It's not Pumpkin again, is it?” “No,” Athena's voice sounds tired from strain. Like she has cried alot. “Alex didn't come to school today.” They are very young kids, and it's not unusual for kids to miss a day or two of school, but this alarms Stephanie. She has been so busy and tired that she forgot that she had tried to call and text Oksana, but she got no reply. “Shit!” She grabs a towel and jumps out of the tub. Reaching for her phone, she rings Oksana, but it doesn't connect. Athena is standing next to her, her eyes expecting some kind of news. Stephanie knows how dangerous Oksana and Alex's lives are, so she can't help the heavy thumping in he

Anthony Petrov doesn't take Alex and Oksana to a dungeon, no. He keeps them in a penthouse somewhere in the heart of the city. If there is a way to massage his ego, is to put them on a penthouse that is sitting on a skyscraper, and allow them to look down, watch the city move around, knowing they can't yell for help. This is my far one of the most luxurious places that Oksana and her son has never been to, but they won't even dare to allow themselves to enjoy it. Every morning, afternoon, evening, trays of food are rolled in, dishes made from the best of hands. Presented in the most appealing of ways. Alex is sitting on the floor in the corner, hugging his knees, but his eyes are bone dry. Oksana has her hands placed against the ceiling-floor glasses, and she bites down on her lips until she tastes blood. “Mum, where are we? Where is Dad? Are we ever going to get out of here?” Alex voice shakes. “I'm working on it, son. I really am,” she sighs as she pulls herself away from th

Anthony walks out of the place, and he leaves Alex alone. With his father's corpse. Alex has his neck turned so that he can look up, and stare at his father's face that has been hidden in darkness. He sniffles and wipes the tears from his face. The ‘drip, drip, drip’ that he hears is eeriely the last bit of blood, dropping from his father's splitted skull. Alex is very scared, more scared than he has ever been in his life, but he musters enough courage and gets as close as he can to his father. “Dad?” He reaches out and pulls at the hem of his Dad's trousers. He knows that his father is a prankster, he is always mad at himself for falling for his father's tricks, so he is praying to heaven that this is one of them. But it's not. His father is still, unresponsive, and at that moment, the finality of this dawns on him. He will never see his father again. At least not alive. Since he doesn't want to get his uncle angry, he turns around to return to the elevator. Besides, he ha

Willow already feel her eyes get blurry, whatever this little demon has injected into her is already taking effect. She has faintly hear the screams from Athena, as she shakes and begs her to wake up. Willow clench her teeth, fighting so hard to fight the drowsiness that is taking over her. “Seatbelt! Now!” She yells with the last of her strength, then hit the reserve as hard as she can. The tires screech and Athena shuts her eyes tightly, but it's too late. The gate has already been closed, and the car meets it with a loud collision, the back of the car has been crushed into an ugly shape. Athena cries out in fear and pain. Even though Willow has thrown herself over the child to protect her, Athena has hit her head. Willow is unconscious now, bleeding some behind her hair. Smoke is rising from the engine of the car, and the crude smell of burning rubber is scratching Athena's throat and lungs. She stumbles out of the car, coughing and hitting her chest. She falls on her kn

Stephanie's holds her breath as she breeze past the doors of some private hospital room. She is just out of yet another surgery, and she should be going to rest in her office, but she is not. She is hurrying to room 233 because, she has just been informed that one of her servants was involved in a car accident. She wasn't given a name, but that doesn't make her any less worried. Besides, Roman is out of the country, so that means that she is responsible for everyone else in the meantime. She pushes the door, and her eyes lands on the patient. The young woman is so badly bruised up that she can't recognize her face at first. Poor woman, she winces and pulls herself to her feet, even when her nurse tries to stop her. “Mrs Croft…” Stephanie's back immediately hits against the wall. “Willow…” Willows jaw is clenched, and she keeps her eyes on the ground. “Where is my daughter?” Stephanie hand goes to her mouth as the sobs rushes out. “Please! Please! Where is my child?” The nu

John's throat immediately goes dry. There would have been many things he would have done differently if he had known that Roman is the CEO of such a huge finance company. For starters, he wouldn't have kidnapped the man's daughter with such cruelty. It's been almost thirty hours since they took the girl, and he and Finna have vehemently refused to admit to what they have done. Apart from Stephanie's outburst that left brushes on Finna's face, there has been no report to the police or anything. Roman was out of the country when his daughter was snatched away from school, but that was part of the entire plan…What John Kent never expected is for Roman to turn out to be a secret millionaire, and also calmly come to his office to ask for his child. His neck is slightly turned to the side, and he has a smile on his face. Like this whole thing better not be more than a big fat joke. “I– I don't know what you are talking about.” John won't hold his gaze. “Come on, John, don't be a s

Von Kent's company is in the red now, but that's not his most pressing problem. Under deep disguise, he visits the casinos and spends a couple of hundred thousands, before taking two beautiful ladies back to his mansion. Seeing him driving in with the two ladies that are young enough to be his grandchildren, the servants know the drill. They give each other curt nods and immediately jump to work. They clean up the house, drop some bottles of wine, some simple recreational drugs, and some stamina boosting drugs in his bedroom. “You girls are about to have the best time of your life,” he tells them with a voice slurred by alcohol. The girls, equally drunk, look at each other and giggle some more. “Mister Kent, we learned that you work directly for the Professor. You must be very rich!” One bites her finger. “And I'm about to be richer when he finally becomes President. Best for you guys to stick around me for that. You are going to be the envy of all your friends!” They manage
