Sitting on the hospital bed with a broken heart, the woman felt a bit hesitant to disclose her ailment to the boy.
She gazed at the boy's tranquil expression and then at his innocent blue orbs. She didn't know why but she felt she could trust him."I have Osteosarcoma," she started slowly with a sullen look on her face. "I was diagnosed six months into my pregnancy and worse of all, my cancer had spread to my Lungs making it even harder to treat!" She confessed with a sunken spirit, the pain she felt burned her heart. It was the kind of pain one felt when a knife was pierced into the heart.She clutched unto her chest and let out short raspy breaths. She felt her lungs burn for air but she didn't get any.Blake appeared to have noticed her difficulty in breathing. Just when she was about to press the emergency button on her bed, his word stopped her, "Don't."As if possessed by an invisible force, she dropped her hands from the button. He placed two of his fingers on her forehead and her lungs immediately felt better. Her breath soon became steady. Surprise washed over her face as she stared at the boy with a perplexed expression."Who are you? And how did you do that?"He silently thought of a lie, he couldn't reveal his true identity. She would never give him her daughter if she knew. Only when he came up with the perfect lie did he respond, "I happen to be a powerful magician. I can heal you but you would have to give me something in return."The woman suddenly became excited as she felt her dreams could finally come true! Her greatest wish was watching her daughter grow up to become a great and lovely woman, so without thinking twice, she asked hurriedly, "What is it? Tell me. If it's something I can do, I will surely do it!"Her eyes were glistering with expectations and she looked like a five year old who had just been promised a pack of candy.He cast his gaze on the beautiful baby that was on his arms who had very much fallen asleep. He revealed with a wicked smirk, "I want you to betroth your daughter to me..."The smile on her face froze and she stared at the boy like a zombie. "What?!"The boy was handsome, he looked smart, well breed and innocent but she didn't want her daughter to get married to some random boy. She wanted her fall in love with the man of her dreams and get married to him."I-I can't." He nodded and simply placed her baby on her open hands. He made to leave, but before he left, he reminded her, "Mind you, I temporarily stabilized your lungs, but in five minutes, you will experience the same crisis so I advice you hold on tight to the emergency button and you are going to have go into surgery cause your lungs has collapsed. Also, your cancer has spread to your brain. Even with chemo and surgery, you still have at least six months to live."He paused and stared at the woman's frightened and anxious form, he then continued, "And mind you, I can still have your daughter with or without your help. I will just ask her dad nicely in future or maybe her evil step mother." The word 'step mother' caused her to crack.Her husband was a very busy man and his work entails a lot of traveling. When she dies, he may most likely marry another woman to take care of Ariana in the future and this frightened her so much. What if the woman treats her daughter badly? She knew her husband loved his daughter but he might not always be around to protect her.What Blake had said was true, whether or not, she helped him, Ariana was bound to be his! He only wanted her to grow up in a complete family, something he couldn't have.He reached for the door and was about to open it when her soft voice stopped him, "I don't want my daughter to suffer. I want to live for her and watch her grow, so I accept."A smirk of triumph manifested on his lips, he then turned to look at the woman with a serious expression, "Are you sure? It's not like I'm forcing you or anything.""Yes," she replied with determination in her voice.He strolled casually to her bedside, he then placed his palm on her forehead and ordered authoritatively, "Close your eyes." She immediately closed her eyes and once her eyelids were shut, black fumes emitted from his palm and entered her body.Moments later, he peeled his palm from her head and told her to open her eyes. Her eyes slowly fluttered open as they stared at the boy's face with a bemused look."How do you feel?""Better!" Her eyes narrowed to her swollen knee which was now at its normal size! She definitely felt better, she wasn't weak as before! Or was it the terrible headache she had due to brain metastasis and her chest region felt better than ever!"You may still need to do a test, if you doubt my capabilities but first..." He trailed a finger on the baby's neck and a beautiful rose tattoo appeared on her neck. That was his mark."She's mine now." He declared, turning to leave when her voice made him pause on his stand."What's your name boy?""My name is not important."The woman scrunched her nose and frowned. "At least I should know the name of the boy who will be marrying my daughter in future, Son-in-law?"Blake's face turned pale and his cheeks and ears flushed red with blood."Blake Houston." Came his rushed response. He briskly made his way to the door without looking back. Once he shut the door behind him, he let out a deep exhale and touched his hot cheeks. A smile of satisfaction became painted on his face as he strolled down the hallway with a gladdened heart.****The air in the police station became awfully tense as the two men stared at each other with malice in their eyes.One of the men was Lieutenant Governor Shane Jefferson (Jessica's father) and the other was Detective Collins.Despite the hatred in their eyes, they still managed to let out fake smiles as they shook hands."It's so nice to meet you, Collins. I've heard so many tales of your patriotic gestures. You're indeed a gem to the police force." Shane sang songs of praises to Collins as he tightened his grip on Collin's hand.Collins pulled his lips into a wide smile and asked politely despite the aching pain he suffered from the man's tight grip. "Enough with the praises, tell me why you're are here?"Shane chuckled softly and let go of his now red hand."Detective Collins, you really are a blunt man. You know why I'm here. I sent my men here but they were ignored so I had to come here myself. I'm here for my daughter," he confessed, the smile on his face freezing and his face turning cold."You're daughter was involved in a murder case. The evidence on her is overwhelming...""There's is no evidence!" His sharp voice cut Collins off."Detective Collins, you do know who I am right? I can destroy your life with the snap of a finger. It's worse that you made me come here myself which I would gladly overlook but it's best you destroy the evidence and... my daughter was never here. There was no dead body, no evidence at all. I believe you can handle this small matter, Collins." He pulled his lips into a sweet smile, his palm patting Collins back.Collins shook in rage and his fist was clenched so hard that his fingers became as white as snow.Shane was right. He indeed could destroy his life with just a phone call. He admitted his defeat by bowing his head, he then agreed through gritted teeth, "I can."Shane rose from his seat and curled his lips in victory. "You are one hell of a talent, it would have been a shame to lose someone like you in the police force. Hand over the phone?"Collins reluctantly handed him Liam's phone from a box on his desk. Shane smashed the phone on the ground and crushed it to pieces with the sole of his shoe."Your phone. The real evidence is there." Collins took out his phone and then deleted the evidence from his phone, a frown lingered on his face as he did that."Good boy. I'll take care of the rest. See you soon, Collins."The door immediately burst open and a man in black suit dashed into the room, his suit was drenched in sweat and his face held panic and fear."Your excellency! I'm afraid there's trouble!"He whispered some words into Shane's ear and then handed a phone to him. He took a step back for he knew that soon, he would expect an outburst and it would be directed at him. He was always at the receiving end.The expression on Shane's face darkened as he watched the video with sheer anger and a killing intent. It was the murder video of Katelyn. There wasn't any much talking, it only showed when Jessica stabbed and buried her. It was shortened to just a minute long and immediately after the video, the phone call conversation between Jessica and Liam played from the speaker. The caption on it further infuriated Shane.ILLEGITIMATE DAUGHTER OF LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR SHANE JEFFERSON, JESSICA JEFFERSON KILLIAN KILLS AND BURIES PREGNANT WOMAN IN THE FOREST. SHE ALSO ATTEMPTED TO KILL LIAM LEE; THE ONLY LIVING WITNESS TO HER EVIL DEEDS.He clenched his fist with blazing fury and flung the phone against the wall. The impact caused the phone to shatter into pieces."Get it off the net now!" His tone was commanding and the anger in his voice could make one pee on himself."We've t-tried. The hacker is very skilled and the video is all over the net, electronic billboards and TV stations in the city. We c-can not cover this up." As he said this, he took several steps back in fright and then waited for the man to explode in anger."Blake Houston!""I'm gonna kill that boy myself. How can an eight year old dare to ruin my plans?! Get the boys ready and kill him and his mother. Make no mistakes, I want a clean job!""Yes, sir!"Looks like Shane is ready to die. I'm gonna price a good coffin for his funeral, who's with me? Lol PS: I know you guys are tired of seeing eight year old Blake but in a few more chapters we will seeing grown up Blake in action. Who's excited? I am! Trust me guys, he's gonna be super hot and super evil and he's gonna make y'all drip! Stay tuned!
TRIGGER WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAIN SOME GORY SCENES.In an enormous living room, a man named Jacob Killian was seated on of the exquisite couches with a glass of whiskey in his hands and a picture frame of a beautiful woman.His eyes were red from the tears he had shed earlier and his heart felt heavy and it hurt so much. The love of his life was dead and soon he would be too. He pretty much knew that Shane already ordered for his execution. Shane was a dangerous man, it was impossible to escape from his grasp. At least, he knew he would soon be reunited with the love of his life.As he gulped down the entire content of the glass, the brownish liquid burned his throat. He stroked the woman's face on the frame and let out a bitter smile. He brought the picture to his face and gave it a light peck."Gross." A small voice mumbled from behind him and a sudden shudder of dread ran down his spine. He felt his hands quake in fright as Blake ambled over to where he sat. What was he doing he
TRIGGER WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS EXTREME GORY SCENES. ~~~Nineteen years later~~~ The crackling sound of fire became music to the ears as the dying branches and twigs breathed their last before tumbling into the glowing embers. Large number of sparks from the blazing bonfire were been blown away by rustling wind.Twelve young adults sat around the fire as they listened to tales of the mysterious faceless beast."In a lonely and dreaded forest, there lived a beast who took the shape of a man. Only one person ever lived to tell the tales of this dreaded beast. It was said to have red glowing eyes, sharp claws, two devilish horns on it's head. It was faceless and it could snap a person's neck without touching it, it could rip a person's heart out with it's claws and rip a person into shreds in seconds...""Okay, that's enough John!" Amelia snapped, fear flickering in her brown orbs. She didn't want to hear anymore of the frightening story."Don't tell me you're all scared. It's a
TRIGGER WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS SOME GORY SCENES.A metallic hand bell was rung several times, it's piercing and reverberating sound became prominent as it echoed through the walls of the room. Ariana let out a grunt of dissatisfaction in her sleep as she began to wriggle within the cozy and soft mattress, not wanting to let go of the beautiful dream she was having.She felt something cold splash on her body causing her eyes to abruptly opened. Her face became red with dismay as she stared at her wet clothes.She was just about to kiss the man of her dreams and they ruined it for her. Now she may never get that kiss. She thought with a pout."Kimberly! Bethany!" Gritting her teeth, she thundered. Both girls giggled with mischief. Kimberly and Bethany were identical twins, the only noticeable difference between them was that Kimberly had brown eyes while Bethany had brown and green colored eyes. That's right she was born with heterochromia, a unique phenomenal that occurs when
The door bell rang pulling Jackie out of her reverie. She panted heavily, her knuckles turning white as she clenched hard unto the fork, fighting so hard to quench her thirst to kill her. Now wasn't the time.The door bell rang again and Jackie rushed to answer it before anyone else could. She came back seconds later with a bouquet of one of the finest roses from the best flower shop in the city. Her face held even more anger than before."Riri, these are for you, from your boyfriend," she announced with a voice full of sarcasm."Oh, it has a note." She took out the white card attached to the bouquet and read aloud what was written on it.“Saw these beautiful roses and I was reminded of your mesmerizing beauty. I just couldn't resist getting it for you, my beautiful rose. Blake.”Riri blushed slightly, almost forgetting about the tense situation. That cheeky guy!"You nerd! Did you just blush? You're even more pathetic than I thought!" She hauled insults on her and then roared in laug
"Be a good girl and don't get into any fights at school!" Riri warned with seriousness in her tone.She knew her sister could be a real pain in the ass sometimes and a big time trouble maker. She was the complete opposite of her sister, while Ariana was quiet and collected, Ivy was loud mouthed and sassy. Although, Ariana was a big tease most times especially to her loved ones."You know that's not possible but I will try my best not to kill anyone for your sake," she crowed, a devilish smirk playing on her lips as she got out of the car."Oh, jesus!" She groaned in weariness while her friends chuckled at her sister's devilish attitude."It's not funny!" She protested, igniting the engine. She drove out of the school premises into the highway. Fresh air flowed into the car bringing the freshness of the country air to their senses."Oh my God Riri! Kim!" Beth screamed, eyes wide with horror. She placed her palm on her mouth as she gazed at her phone with a frightening expression."What
"Kimberly, Bethany and Ariana. You're late. Do you have a valid explanation for your lateness?" Miss Katrina questioned, her eyes peering into their faces as she awaited their explanation."Erm... Ma'am. My car broke down and I had to call my mechanic." Ariana scratched her head and lied blatantly. She was bad at lying and she knew it.The woman adjusted her glasses and frowned. Of course, she knew she was lying. "You can go to your seats. I will overlook this issue because it's actually the first time you're late to my class.""Thank you ma'am." They expressed their gratitude and took to their seats. The lecturer resumed teaching afterwards."Who was that guy?" Kim winked and questioned in a whisper. Ariana flushed and she felt butterflies wobble in her stomach when she thought of him. His touch... but he was a complete asshole. She felt embarrassed and mad at the way he let her drop to the ground.You have a boyfriend, Riri. Stop thinking of another man! She scolded herself."No one,
"You asked for this," he replied huskily, his fingers running up her thighs. Electricity runs through her body as she lets out a gasp.He curled his lips and toyed with the hem of her panties. He cupped her pussy through her paintes, his sultry lips kissing the red rose tatoo on her neck.She moaned and whimpered in pleasure as the sparks erupted from her pussy and then spreading to the rest of hee body. He ripped her dress to shreds like a feral beast.He got rid of her bra in an instant and gazed at her naked and plump breast with lust."So fucking mine!" He cupped her left breast, bringing chills to her body and a soft moan escaped her lips.Leaning down, he took one of her swollen nipples in his mouth. She thrashed and whimpered in pleasure as she felt an explosion-like sensation build up in her nipple as it quickly spread to a million parts of her body like a wildfire."Please, fuck me!" She begged when she couldn't take it anymore as the only thing she wanted was to have him deep
The man in her dreams!She gazed at him, scanning his sexy figure. His eyes were blue and they sparkled like the bioluminescence of the ocean at night. He had a long scar that ran from the conner of his right eye to the conner of his lips. Even with the scar, he looked even more stunning than he was last week. She wondered how he got that scar, there was no scar last week. Maybe, I'd ask him. On a second thought, I better avoid this guy!He was stratospheric and had an overly impressive height of 6'8. He was also bodily endowed with a muscular physique that could make one wet at first sight. His sexy toned chest and arms were threatening to spill out from the white button down shirt he was wearing.Riri blushed as she imagined running her fingers down his taut chest muscles. Stop it Ariana, you're are not sexually attracted to this guy! She reminded herself.Their eyes met briefly and he cast a small smirk in her direction. Her cheeks crimsoned and enormous butterflies danced in her
