Just as John finished talking to Miss B and was about to leave the restroom to head to her place, his phone rang again. The shrill ringtone echoed off the tiled walls, jolting him out of his thoughts. He figured it was Miss B calling back, her voice still fresh in his mind. But when he glanced at the screen, he saw Brad’s name. A wave of unease washed over him, and his heart started to race.

John stood there for a moment, staring at the phone vibrating in his hand. The name “Brad” flashed insistently, and he felt a knot form in his stomach. What was he going to say? The restroom’s cold, sterile air seemed to close in on him, making it hard to think. Just as the call was about to go to voicemail, he took a deep breath and answered, his hand shaking slightly.

“Hey, John,” Brad’s voice came through, rough and tired. He sounded like he hadn’t slept in days, a hint of desperation in his tone.

“Yes, I can hear you. Why did you call?” John asked, pressing the phone to his ear. His voice wave

    “I still can’t believe we’ve finally gotten rid of Stephanie and all the drama she brought into our lives,” Miss B said, her voice laced with a mixture of relief and lingering disbelief. She was seated opposite John, her eyes scanning his face for any signs of the tumultuous emotions that had plagued them both in the recent past. The weight of the ordeal they had endured was still fresh, but so was the sweet taste of victory.John’s lips curled into a smirk, a subtle but telling expression that spoke volumes of the satisfaction brewing within him. The long, arduous battle that had consumed their lives had finally reached its conclusion. Stephanie, Jeffrey, and their cohorts, who had once loomed large over their lives like dark, ominous clouds, were now nothing more than a distant, fading memory. However, beneath the surface of his triumphant exterior, John couldn’t shake the shadow of sorrow that lingered in his heart, a sorrow born from the irreplaceable loss of his son, James, in

    "It's not fair you know " Carl smirked as he advanced into the Training chamber. Seeing him disgusted me and also scared my ass out. He stopped abruptly where I stood and gosh, I felt like he really had an ulterior motive." Sorry Carl, we just needed to sweat a little before you arrive" Brad apologies smiling and Carl as well was smiling." No eish man, at least i am here now" I bawled and spanked my ass tight before he walked away giving me a wink. I shook on the spank he gave to me as I wasn't expecting such dirty behavior from him at that time." What's wrong?" Alexis inquired as she noticed the way I shook. I ground my teeth and scowled at Carl but actually that's all I could do." No it's nothing, I am fine" I said, staring at Carl angrily. " Are you sure you're fine" Alexis persisted and I gazed at her pissed off." I just said I am Fucking fine Alex" I snapped and she shrugged." It's Okay, I just noticed some anomaly and that's why I asked." She said and turned her gaze aw

    " It's actually a long story" I said and dabbed my gaze away from hers. I became a little shaky and tense remembering my essence for coming in the first place." Are you sure? You can talk to me" she said and placed her hand on my thighs, slowly rubbing my pants. I glimpsed at her and grunted." Yeah, I am fine. It's really nothing important" I said stuttering but then had a valiant look to make my facade believable. She stared at me for a while and then nodded. I sighed and smiled as well.I sipped the tea but then I realized that I had nowhere to go after taking the tea. My eyes widened and the tea hooked in my throat. I didn't want Chloe's mom to know my broken side, but then I really needed her help in order to know where Adrian lived and how to get to him. "I will be right back, I need to go give Chloe her pills" she said and stood up."Umm hmm" I muttered and nodded, with a fake smile. I watched her walk away and when she was no longer in sight, I dropped the tea cup down and s

    I pulled the door open and peeped outside. It was perch black but then I saw Zelda not so far from the door." Zelda?" I called out not so sure if my mind. She quickly rushed her head and turned back to me. She was backing me earlier before I beckoned on her. " Alina, why are you outside?" She queried and quickly rushed back to me. She walked back to me as I was also standing outside. She stood in front of me and I could read from her uncertain visage that something was wrong."I spoke to Chloe and she told me you were outside. I came to check up on you." I bawle gently, whilst my eyes traveled around still surveying for anyone or anything weird. I was sure I heard a voice when I opened the door before it died off."Oh okay, let's go inside" she said and led the way but then I held her as she tried walking past me. " What's wrong? I am sure you are hiding something from me." I snapped staring into her face. She glared at me and then pushed a smile up. Thought It was very evidently

    " You!!!?" I queried in surprise..I was caught off guard seeing that Zelda was the one who rat me out to Tiana. I was still shocked how she knew I was hiding something."Yes, I did it, '' she said, smiling. My eyes widened in fear and my jaw cracked slightly.we both stared into each other's eyes but then I wondered why she was smiling so broadly."How did you know and why did you do it?" I questioned whilst she took steps closer to me. My eyes didn't blink as I fixated it on her. "I wanted to make you happy and put a smile on your face, '' she bawled. I was totally confused at what she was driving out. She ratted me out to Tiana and said she did it to make me happy. I gasped and gaped in shocn for a couple of seconds. But then how did she know that I was hiding something. That was the question that filled my mind and head."You wanted to make me happy? How is that, I never thought you'd do such to me. What did you even know?" I asked with a firm scowl. Suddenly the smile she had on h

    "Let's go now and avenge Chloe's death,” Zelda snapped. I was also enraged and ready to attack. “ This is what I wanted to hear. I want war” Maddy snarled at me. I huffed and shook as she spoke. I wasn't really expecting it to take as it seemed she ran away when Chloe lost her life.“No, we are not doing that” Adrian said. We all turned out gae at him. He seems very serious but rh I wondered why he was throwing the mission out through the window.“ Why!?“ Zelda questioned immediately before I could even speak. I had to swallow my words which were vait coming out.“ That's because we are not ready. Tiana is not Someone we are going to attack when we are not prepared. She is fully ready for us and she will be waiting for us to take this move. I'm sure she has already laid a trap for us as she did today but this time around we aren't going to get entangled in it”. Adrian said. Thinking about it made me see the reason for his disapproval and it was the best idea.“But what's about Chloe'
