Late Night At Work
Alex tapped on the screen of his phone, as he gently massaged his temples with the tip of his fingers,he could feel the stress weighing down on him heavily, he and his team had been working non-stop all week trying to finish off their project for the company.
The screen of the phone came to life at his touch,he heaved a sigh of relief, even though his team was short of a member they had managed to come this far in such quick notice,it was already late at night but he didn't care, he would have to take the long late night walk back home, even though he lived only a few blocks from the company, he had a lot to do, he hadn't heard from sarah for a week now,he barely saw her at work,he wondered if it was all because he was always busy and he never had time for the relationship.The office door flew open, startling him as Jim ,his co-worker, ran inside excitedly."It's happening!" Jim screamed excitedly,he held his phone to his face as he screamed at the screen excitedly."What's happening?" Alex asked sullenly. Jim was always excited about any new entertainment update, he knew all the music stars, movie stars and always knew about any new buzz in their lives."Are you that off, Alex? How don't you know about Bruce's proposal?" Jim asked as he stared at Alex with a queer look on his face.Bruce was the Ceo's son, and Alex had never liked him from the start, he was always a pompous asshole who was protected by his father's wealth and could get away with anything."I didn't know about Bruce's planned proposal…" Alex trailed off, he was already losing interest in knowing about the proposal, especially since it involved Bruce."Damn. He's so lucky, he and Sarah would make a beautiful couple." Jim continued as he did a little dance to his chair.Alex felt a sinking feeling in his heart as he heard the name, his heart beat got louder and faster. Maybe he heard wrong, maybe it was someone else."S-Sarah?" He stuttered as he looked at Jim, hoping it would be another Sarah he was talking about."Yeah. Sarah… the one that joined our company a while ago," Jim continued, giving him the queer look again as he dusted his pants.Alex sank back into his chair, his face was getting hot, cold sweat broke all over his body, his head was pounding, he could feel his heart slowing down. He was suffocating, what he just heard was suffocating him.Their company was a large company. There must be at least two or more Sarahs, maybe Jim was mixing them up.He gathered strength into his trembling legs as he slowly walked over to where Jim stood, watching the Live video excitedly.Alex caught a glimpse of the screen and his heart stopped beating, his legs failed him and he saw himself falling to the ground, a million things running through his mind.It was Sarah—And he had caught a glimpse of her kissing Bruce.He hit the ground hard.Sarah was his girlfriend, she was his first girlfriend! They had been dating since college, they had been in the same department and after graduation when he got a job with the company, she had complained about not liking the separation and about wanting them to be together again so she had asked him to help her work her way into the company too.They had agreed to keep their relationship a secret and to take things slow so as to focus and work well in the company and be open to bigger job opportunities.Sarah had taken the 'keeping the relationship a secret' serious so he had to follow suit. But none of these had stopped Alex from loving her, he had loved her from day one and he knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.He had been saving and preparing to propose to her at the end of the year."It cost sixty thousand bucks to stay there for a night!" Jim exclaimed, he had been so absorbed in his phone that he hadn't noticed what happened to Alex behind him."And an additional twenty thousand bucks for a nice meal..." Jim trailed off as he typed excitedly.Alex mind raced back and forth, he felt cold sweat break out in his forehead and trickle down his neck.How long has it been going on? How could Sarah do this to him? Why didn't he notice anything? Why didn't she tell him anything?Maybe she was being forced! She was definitely being forced! Sarah would never do this to him.Alex slowly propped himself back up, using the chair beside him as leverage, he had hit his head hard and now his vision was a little blurred, his head hurt from when he had hit the floor hard.Sarah would never do this to him.He had to go and meet her. He had to see her.A new wave of strength flowed through his body, as he staggered to the door."I knew they would end up together! I mean… who dates for two months and breaks off everything?" Jim commented.Alex had not noticed anything going on around him and was rather focused on the live streamed video he was watching. He tried to push everything he had heard out of his head as he stumbled out of the building, he could feel a range of emotions and he was beginning to lose control of each of them.The air was chilly, it was already quite late and the cars on the streets had reduced, it was like any other night, only that this time he was not himself.Alex flagged down a taxi and called out the hotel's name to the driver, saying the name almost choked him. He quickly touched his pocket in a mad frenzy, he had left his phone on his office desk. Luckily, his second phone was always in his pocket, he searched out the live stream on dukduk, it popped up immediately,the number of current views made his chest tighten, thousands of people knew about the proposal except him, if Jim hadn't come to the office,he wouldn't have known about it.The hotel's restaurant was flashy, it screamed luxury, everything was out of his class but none of that could rip his attention as he stared straight into the screen, staring hard at Sarah, she didn't look like someone who was forced, she looked like she was enjoying herself well,He hated to say it but she looked happy, she looked happy breaking his heart into a million pieces, she looked happy throwing everything they had! everything they built! into the trash.His grip around the phone tightened,he couldn't bear to look away, no matter how much he tried to deny it, he knew deep in him that this was Sarah.She was holding him romantically, he held her tight as he placed a kiss on her forehead and she returned it to his lip with the people present there cheering them on.Alex could feel his stomach churning, his face was hot, tears rolled down his cheeks as he looked on, he wanted to see Sarah, he wanted to talk to her,even if it was for a minute, he wanted to just ask her why. Why was she doing this to him, why was she betraying him! why she was betraying everything they had.None of this had to be true! he was probably dreaming! he had probably fallen asleep at work and was now dreaming!This couldn't be real.Alex looked at the screen and saw Bruce kneel down and bring out the ring. He stared hard at Sarah, hot tears streaming down his face.He couldn't believe his beloved girl would cheat on him..

Fantasy Realm Portal Between Life And Death
Joe’s hands trembled as he gripped the controls of the shuttle, Damm, this can't be happening, Lena! Lena!" Joe shouted as the alien ship’s explosion still replayed in his mind, the fiery burst that swallowed Lena. He could not shake the image, the gut-wrenching certainty that she was gone. His gaze flickered at Martin, who lay unconscious beside him, his skin ashen and his breathing shallow. “ Hang on, Martin, I won't lose you also, I won't allow it.” Joe muttered under his breath, adjusting their course towards the Vanguard airship. The shuttle hummed as it sped through space, the stars blurring into streaks of light. Every second felt like an eternity, the silence inside the cockpit heavy with dread. Joe’s crackled to life, a familiar voice cutting through the static. “Joe, what’s your status? ” It was Commander Reeves, the leader of their Vanguard unit. Joe swallowed hard, his voice shaky as he replied. “ Commander, we have... we have lost Lena. The alien ship exploded. She d

"Massimo! Help! Somebody, please help me!" Elena cried out, her voice filled with desperation.Massimo, who had been sitting in his study, poring over the ancient journal that he was given by Detai, heard her scream and immediately sprang to his feet. His heart pounded in his chest as he raced down the hallway to their bedroom. His mind was flooded with fear and worry; the memory of the recent incident flashed on his mind. Massimo burst into the room, finding Elena clutching her stomach, her face contorted in agony. "Elena! What’s wrong?" he asked, his voice shaking with concern as he rushed to her side.Elena's eyes were wide with pain and terror. "It hurts, Massimo. It hurts so much," she gasped, tears streaming down her cheeks.Massimo gently lifted her into his arms, feeling the tremors that wracked her body. "Hang on, darling. I’m getting you to the hospital."Just as he was about to carry her out of the room, two of the guardians, who had heard Elena's screams, appeared in the

Fantasy Realm Portal The Night
The evening was still, the calm before the storm. Massimo, Elena, and the Guardian were in the living room, discussing their next steps in the ongoing battle against the dark forces. The house, fortified with ancient wards, felt secure but there was a lingering tension in the air, an unspoken awareness that safety was temporary. Suddenly, the tranquility was shattered by the sound of glass breaking. Massimo jumped to his feet, his heart racing. "What was that?Before anyone could react, the front door burst open, and several figures in black masks stormed in. The Guardian was the first to respond, moving with lightning speed to intercept the intruders. "Stay behind me!" he commanded, his voice a mix of authority and urgency.Massimo grabbed Elena's hand, pulling her close. "Elena, stay with me. We need to get out of here."But the attackers were relentless. They moved with precision, clearly well-trained and intent on their mission. One of them lunged at Massimo, a blade glinting in

Fantasy Realm Portal The Sudden News
The morning sun streamed through the kitchen windows, casting a warm glow over the table where Massimo, Elena, and the Guardian sat, eating breakfast. The scent of freshly brewed coffee and pancakes filled the air, a comforting contrast to the tension that lingered from the previous night's revelations. As Massimo lifted his cup to take a sip, his phone buzzed on the table. He glanced at the screen and saw his boss's name flash across it."I need to take this," he said, standing up and moving toward the living room for privacy. Elena watched him go, a knot of anxiety tightening in her stomach. She turned to the Guardian, who sat across from her, his expression calm yet alert. Massimo answered the call, his heart already heavy with the foreboding tone in his boss's voice. "Hello, Mr. Stevenson.""Massimo," Mr. Stevenson's voice was flat and formal, lacking its usual warmth. "I hope I did not catch you at a bad time."" No, it's fine," Massimo replied, his eyes darting back to the kitc

Fantasy Realm Portal late Night Visit
The living room was dimly lit, the flickering glow of the television casting long shadows on the walls. Elena sat on the edge of the couch, her fingers anxiously twisting the edge of a blanket. The evening news played in the background, but her attention was fixed on the door, her mind racing with worry. It was past midnight, and Massimo had still not returned home.The clock on the wall ticked steadily, each second amplifying her anxiety. Elena picked up her phone for the tenth time, checking for any missed calls or messages. Nothing. Her heart pounded as a thousand scenarios flashed through her mind, each more troubling than the last. Massimo had been distant lately, his work consuming him. But he had never stayed out this late without at least sending a message.Suddenly, she heard the sound of the front door unlocking. Elena's heart leapt into her throat. She jumped up, rushing to the entryway just as the door creaked open. There stood Massimo, his face a mask of exhaustion and wo

The streets were quiet in the early afternoon as Massimo walked home, his mind still reeling from the events of the day. The loss of Detai weighed heavily on his heart, the pain fresh and raw. He barely noticed the people he passed, his thoughts a tangled web of grief and determination. His surroundings seemed muted, as though the world had lost some of its color.He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice the figure following him until it was too late. A strong hand suddenly clamped over his mouth, and he felt a piece of cloth being pressed against his nose and mouth. He struggled, panic surging through him, but the grip was too strong. A sickly sweet smell filled his nostrils, and darkness quickly overtook him.When Massimo regained consciousness, he was disoriented, his head throbbing. He tried to move, but his hands were bound tightly behind his back. The air was thick with the smell of dust and mildew, and the dim light cast eerie shadows on the walls. He was in a wareh
