Roman's jaw slacks all the way to the ground. “What?” “I said you should be the one to kill the boy. Except you have something to hide, croft.” Linc doubles down. Roman sighs, pressing two of his fingers against his forehead. He hates this so much. Since joining the army, he has made a rule for himself that he will never kill an innocent person. How can he kill a college boy because the Professor wants to keep something hidden? “Linc is right, Roman. This is your turn to show your loyalty towards me. You will kill the boy, and also deposit the body.” A slight of frustration leaves Roman's mouth as his fingers go through his short hair. “But, Professor, how am I supposed to kill and deposit a body when I'm new here? I don't even know my way around campus yet!” The Professor cannot be bothered, not when he is busy smoking his expensive cigarette. “You will figure it out, Roman. You seem like a smart kid.” For the first time ever, Linc has a triumphant smile on his face. He a

Roman stops and slowly turns around to face Henry with realization. “You did what?” “I know, it was stupid. He was saying some nonsensical things about money, drugs, killing people, and I actually thought it was a form of madness. My girlfriend rang me, and that was how he discovered me…” Roman immediately scans Henry's pocket for a sign of a phone. “Where is your phone?” Henry touches his pockets, as if until now, he hasn't realized that it's not with him. “Yeah, about that, the big scary guy smashed it with his boot. My gallery is automatically backed up to my email account though…” This might just be the best thing that Roman has heard in a very long time. He places a firm hand on Henry's shoulder and looks him straight in the eyes. “Please tell me that you are not the kind of person that forgets their email passwords.” “I've got it all in my head right here.” Henry taps his temple. “You are going to tell it to me, mate.” “What? What if you go back and tell it all to th

Somehow, Roman is able to make it home and also fulfill his duty as a husband and father, before returning to work the next day without raising any suspicion. Linc is waiting at the door for him, and Roman heaves under his breath. “A good morning, isn't it, Linc?” He asks. “I have some questions for you, Croft.” “I don't answer to anyone except the Professor.” “Bullshit, you answer to me too. I'm the one who can make or destroy you at this job.” Linc snorts. “Answer my questions, or we are going to have problems.” Roman stops and folds his hands. Maybe he will have to get rid of Linc one way or the other. “Fine, what's your question?” He shrugs. Linc's hand brushes against his nose. “What did you do with the body yesterday?” Roman chuckles. “Seriously? After you abandoned me to deal with it on my own, you are going to ask me that?” “Why don't you just answer the question? What did you do with the body?” Roman folds his hands. “Okay. Burning or burying it would have been too

“Sir, the plane has just landed. We are getting ready to step out.” The hostess informs Anthony Petrov, the Professor. Anthony was going through a magazine, but now he drops it and gets ready to get down from the plane. He has come alone, and left his trusted bodyguards back in the city to handle his affairs. He is not supposed to be scared because this is the country where he was born, and where his family ran one or the biggest drug cartel for the last hundred years. Anthony Petrov built a different image for himself, away from the atrocities of his family, and it was worth it at first. Until everyone started to see him as a weak leader. Well, that also ended when he killed his family…. Stepping out of the plane. The entire place is swarmed with reporters, flashing their cameras at him, and thrusting their recording devices to his face. “Ladies and gentlemen, please,” Anthony says in the most humble tone. “I would hate for anyone to get crushed because of the excitement!” “S

Jackson slowly lowers his gun. But that doesn't mean that he has dropped his guard around his very sketchy brother. Anthony places a hand on his chest and exhales, like he is relieved, but the truth is that he knew from the very moment that his brother was never going to shoot him. “Okay, bro, glad to see that you have kept the place immaculate.” Anthony looks around. Jackson goes into the kitchen and finds a bottle of liquor from the cupboard, and pours himself a very generous glass. “Don't get too comfortable, Anthony. You won't be welcomed here for too long.” “Of course,” Anthony rolls his eyes as he hoists himself on one of the stools. "Aren't you going to pour me a drink?” Jackson glares at him. “If I were you, I wouldn't get too comfortable. Now, what do you want?” Anthony sighs and taps his fingers on the table. “Like I said over email, I want to talk. It's been a while since we sat down like this.” “We've never sat down to talk about anything, Anthony. You were the ma

Five dead bodies, that's how many are being pulled from the water after Linc shot them for refusing to hand over Jackson Black’s parcels on the yacht. At this point, Roman steps out of the car with his gun tucked neatly between his belt. “Hey, I said stay in the car!” Linc yells at him. Roman doesn't listen to him. He is struggling with the bodies, and at this point, they are going to be caught. He grabs one of the bodies and throws it over with such ease that Linc has to stop and stare. No one Roman was able to beat him easily the other time. He is like ten times stronger than he actually looks.After putting them in the warehouse, and dumping some planks and old bags on them, they start to put the parcels into the car. “What happens if the police see this?” Roman asks, as his hands keep moving. Linc shrugs. “Drug deal gone wrong, Jackson's identity is all over the whole thing, and that's all that matters.” Roman blinks with disbelief. The first thing he learned when he go

This is her first day going back to medicine school after many years, and Stephanie is almost bursting with happiness and excitement. She would have overslept, but her husband wakes her up with a kiss. “Good morning, my queen. I can't allow you to be late on your first day back to school.” He says. She yawns and open her eyes, and she is immediately glad that she did, because there is a very attractive tray of breakfast in front of her. Roman normally goes to his job as a bodyguard very early in the morning, and like other times, he is already dressed up. “Oh Roman, you didn't have to do all this!” She pouts, her hand going over her mouth. “Are you kidding me? You deserve this and more.” He kiss her cheek. “I have to go, okay? But I want to hear about your first day when we get back home. I want all the details!” He blows a kiss in her direction before he disappears. With a satisfied smile on her face, Stephanie has her breakfast before she gets ready for work. She proudly r

Stephanie can call her supervisor and explain how she is being bullied by her peers, but she doesn't want to. They laugh at her and insult her, before sending her away in the cleaners uniform. Another doctor would see it totally beyond them, but not Stephanie. She finds out that the cleaners are more friendly, and kinder to her than the Doctors. “We weren't informed that a new hire was made.” A sweet young lady called Lily, tells her. “Oh, that's because I'm not actually a cleaner. I'm a Doctor, but my senior colleagues have forced me to do this. I think it's a kind of hazing.” Stephanie laughs it off, but Lily doesn't find it funny. “Was it Doctor Lee that is behind this?” Stephanie scratches behind her ear. “Um… yeah.” Lily gives a big roll of her eyes. “I hate him so much! Because he scored the highest in the examination, that's why he has been going around with so much pride!” Lily is already walking towards the telephone attached to the wall. “Woah, Lily, what are you d

The slap is such a hard one that Stephanie tastes blood in her mouth. She can't come out of the shock, the slap has left her eyes stinging with tears, and her ears ringing. Not one person looks shocked that Doctor Lee has hit her. Something tells her that she is not the first person to be bullied like this. As if that's not enough, he grabs her hair and pulls it in such a way that she is forced to kneel to the ground, whimpering. “Do you think you are better than me? Than all of us? Is that why you dared to report me to the chief?!” He shouts.“Please, please, I didn't report you. I only saved that kid's life because it was the right thing to do. I'm sorry if I have offended you by doing that.” Doctor Lee laughs wickedly through his teeth. “You think you can offend me? My family is very rich, and I come from a long line of very important Doctors! You can report me all you want, but nothing is going to come out of it.” “Yeah, don't let her go scout free!” “Teach her a lesson,

“Doctor Croft is more proud than any of us expected.” “She is trying to play the long game, don't worry. She will be back to beg once she accepts that she can't save that girl, and that it's going to affect her internship score.” They are discussing it at the table, but Doctor Lee has not said a word. His colleagues are just saying these things because they want to be on his good side, but there is much more that they don't know. He has sneaked to watch how she tends to the girl, and there is a fearful determination with which she carries herself and he has been going through Nicole's file secretly; she has been responding to treatments! Stephanie on the other hand, sacrificed a lot for Nicole. She has been coming to the hospital very early in the morning. She would clean her up, change her clothes, before she starts to administer the medicines. Sometimes Doctor Lee and his friends would gather at the door to laugh at her, but she has never given up. At some point, Lee can'
