Boss." A sharp feminine voice came from the end as though Naomi, her assistance had never slept too. "You're still awake. Is it about the project?"Evelyn rose from the chair and nodded gently even though Naomi couldn't see her. "Yes, Naomi." She clipped, "Alexander Blackthorn is copying my work. Same pattern. Same logic. He's playing games and building the project Genesis behind the scenes while smiling at my face.""What!" Naomi gasped in shock. "How long?" "I found out about it seven days ago and I confirmed it yesterday." She exhaled softly walking towards the window. The Crisp evening breeze blew across her face, fluttering her hair behind. "He has been duplicating every procedure from the onset, hiding behind a Front company. And he's playing it well, paying enough investment so we won't suspect his motive." "The Blackthorn family is rich and powerful. Compared to the Hedge family, you're almost equal." Naomi said Smartly, thinking further. "he's not doing this for money or

Rose didn't start eating the fried rice immediately. She stared at Zane across from her and asked gently, her small voice tinged with curiosity."Are you going to hurt me?" She asked quietly, "the other men took me from mum and poisoned my food and now you're giving me another food. Have you Poisoned it too?" Zane turned his look to her. He exchanged glances with Tara. They understood her concern and fear perfectly.Zane set down his spoon and leaned forward over the table, her elbows resting on the table edge."We will never do that to you, Rose," He said gently, his voice firm and assuring, "and that man who did that to you will be punished." "Can..can I trust you?" Her voice cracked slightly.Tara stood up and walked up to her. She crouched to her level and gave out a warm smile. He held her hand gently as she started saying,"Do you know that that man sitting over there is your Uncle?" She nodded at Zane and continued with the same tone, "he will not hurt you. And the reason he

Zane walked inside the room to hear the running of water echoing from the Bathroom."She's having her bath." He said and exhaled sharply. He pulled off his blood stained shirt and tossed it into the laundry basket. He looked down at the bullet injury from earlier. The place had already healed up, smooth with no scars. Suddenly, Tara screamed from the bathroom. Zane was already up, "Tara." He gasped and barged into the bathroom, pushing the door open at once, but he paused immediately he saw the air in the bathroom. Everywhere was clouded with mist yet water kept hammering against the marble, echoing through the room."Tara? Are you there.." Zane walked in further taking slow steps, waving his arms through the air to disperse the mist for more visibility. "I'm here....I think I pressed the wrong button." Tara's voice came through the fog. Unbeknownst to the two of them, they were walking towards each other and they eventually collided. The visible faded slightly between them.Zan

A hand shoved Rose back with enough force that made her staggered back three steps, she lost her footing and reeled backward, flailing her arms in the air for balance as the world tilted before her eyes. She screamed in horror. The fall was inevitable.Zane moved with an impossible speed, air blasted around him, fluttering clothes. He was already there, and Rose landed safely in his arms. Rose gasped sharply. She just survived death in the space of a heartbeat. The hard floor could have splattered his small head like a melon.Zane gently helped her stand straighter, holding her arms gently and staring into her eyes. Rose was still shaking with fear and the realization that she just survived a death."Relax, Rose," Zane said Calmly, "Are you okay?" Rose nodded her head stiffly. "Yes, Uncle." She whispered and Zane nodded gently. Zane looked around. Fortunately, the hall didn't notice him when he used his power. Only when he saved her did some of them turned their looks to the scene.

Mrs. Vincent raised up his hand to smack Rose on the face but her hand froze in the air, clamped in an unshakeable iron grip.She looked up and saw a pair of eyes— cold, staring her down.Zane."Don't even try it." He said curtly. His voice wasn't loud but it was enough to make the woman freeze in place. "Your daughter attacked my cousin's first. Are you angry now because she decided to stand for herself?" "Let go of me!!" Mrs. Vincent screamed, wriggling to break free from his grip but Zane's finger didn't even bulge. Mr. Vincent who had been quiet all along finally snapped. He stepped forward with a face red with anger and embarrassment from the entire exchange."Remove your stinking hand from my wife now!!" He growled, his voice tight.Zane turned to look at the man, his expression indifferent. "Next time before you give command, then you should teach your wife a lesson never to insult other people especially when she's wrong. She should apologize" Zane shoved her back slightly.
