APEX SYNDICATE EMPIRE, DOMINIC’S SUITE*

Adeline still hasn’t been able to sleep cos of the pains in her tummy. She hasn’t stopped crying either.

She looks drained physically and mentally, and Trixie already ran out of ideas to ease her pains.

Fatima came in with a tray of warm cocoa, and Trixie stood.

“Time for me to take over” Fatima smiled, dropping the tray on the bedstand.

“Can you stay with her? I need to go shower” Trixie said.

“Sure” Fatima winked, and Trixie kissed Adeline’s forehead before leaving the room.

“Here…drink this… it’d ease your period cramps” Fatima said, taking the cup.

She supported Adeline’s back with a pillow before bringing it to her mouth.

Adeline took a sip, then another and another.

“Good” Fatima said, smiling before dropping the cup.

Immediately she did, Adeline grabbed her stomach tightly.

“What’s happening to…ahh!!” She cried, holding the tummy with her other hand too.

It’s like the cocoa worsened her pains times ten.

“Ahhh!!!” She groaned, unable to speak as she rolled down from the bed, wriggling in insane pains.

“Fati…ma!!” She cried, hot sweat covering her completely.

“I’m so sorry… Tessa…I’m sorry” Fatima muttered, and the head guard came in with ten others.

“Are you sure you won’t kill her?” Fatima asked.

“Dominic will kill us if we kill her, so chill… We only wanna teach her how to be obedient” that one replied, snapping his fingers at the others.

Adeline was picked up, and her pains grew hellish as they took her out of the room, throwing her in a van.

The van drove out of the estate almost immediately, and Fatima started panicking in front of the suite.

Trixie returned surprisingly, and her eyes widened.

“Are you done showering?” She awkwardly asked.

“Nope. I brought more pads for my sister since it seems her flow is pretty much. She needs to change” Trixie replied and tried entering, but Fatima blocked her.

“She’s… She’s actually resting” she said.

“Doesn’t mean I can’t drop the pad without waking her” Trixie replied and tried entering again.

Fatima blocked her for the second time, and her eyes flicked suspiciously, then he pushed Fatima out of the way.

Fatima fell on the ground, and Trixie entered the suite, running into the bedroom.

She was breathless when she got there and couldn’t find Adeline in bed.

She ran out again, and she met Fatima shaking already.

She grabbed her blouse in the front with her two hands, slamming her back on the pillar.

“Where is my sister! Where is she!!!” She yelled impatiently.

“I’m…I’m sorry it’s…

“Where is Adeline!!!” Trixie yelled again, grabbing Fatima’s hair this time.

“Trixie” the unique deep voice said behind them, and Trixie slowly let go of her, turning back to see Madden standing there with his eyes hooded.

“Mr. Vernon?” Trixie muttered.

“Madden” Madden corrected, and Trixie covered her mouth in raw shock.

Fatima almost entered the ground, and fear made her start running, but Madden grabbed her in no time.

She was thrown to the ground, and she started shifting back on her butt.

“The head guard made me do it. He said if I didn’t bring her the poisoned cocoa, he’d have to kill Trixie. I had no choice cos he said they wouldn’t kill her, they just wanna teach her a lesson” Fatima said fearfully.

“Where did they take her?” He asked calmly.

“I dunno! I dunno!” She shook her head innocently, and Madden pointed the gun at her.

“No! No!” Fatima cried.

Baron was quick to appear, covering her.

“I knew you’re no ordinary person… Madden Smirnov” he said.

He already heard the news from the hospital.

“Where is my woman?” Madden demanded dangerously, his gun still up at Baron’s chest.

“I’ll give you a list of all the possible hideouts, you’ll find her before nightfall” Baron assured.

*

HONG KONG*

The hospital has been in chaos since last night.

After the twins went missing, Nazeera arrested every doctor and nurse on duty that particular time, and the cops are all-over the city, searching relentlessly for the kids.

There has been no success since last night, and Nazeera is at the verge of going crazy right now.

The just finished cops searching another unsuccessful location, and she faced them angrily.

“Y’all are not searching enough! You are not searching enough!!!!” She yelled frustratedly.

“We’re trying our biggest best as you can see, ma’am” they replied, and she’d have shouted at them again, but the ringing of her phone stopped her.

She stepped back to pick. It’s her hitmen.

“Yes?”

“I’m sending you pictures of Madden’s new face right now, captured at the syndicate hospital not long ago” the thick voice came.

Nazeera hung up, and almost immediately, she received the pictures and started laughing.

“I knew it! You can’t escape my  pain, Madden… I have to move fast” she muttered, rushing back to join the search.

…

Meanwhile, in a rural street of Hong Kong, the twins are hiding behind some garbage drums.

Their faces are smudged with soot, dirt, and mud.

Angelika’s leg is even swollen from too much running, but surprisingly, she’s not crying as usual.

“Are you sure this is a good idea? I’m sure our faces are all-over the streets now, and I’m hungry” she muttered.

Her eyes suddenly caught a trashed pizza in the garbage, and she took it

Before she could eat, Aleksandr hit it away from her.

“But I’m hungry” she whined.

“Just keep calm and let me handle this” he replied, and she nodded.

Aleks slowly sneaked out from behind the can, grabbing a passing lady by her jacket.

“Ma’am, can I use your phone?” He asked politely.

“néih whu gong matyeh? (What are you saying?)” The woman replied in Cantonese.

“I don’t understand Cantonese, but… Phone” Aleksandr replied, demonstrating.

“Phone?” The woman caught on, and he nodded, then she gave him her phone.

Aleksandr dialled Zoya’s line straight away, and throughout the first ring, she didn’t pick, so he dialled again.

This time, she picked.

“Mum?” He said.

“Aleks! Aleks is that you?” Zoya shouted in instant recognition.

“Mommy!!” Angelika cried, coming out from behind the drums.

“Angel! Oh my gawd! My gawd!” Zoya exclaimed.

“We’re in Hong Kong, and…”

The phone died at this point, and their faces fell.

Aleksandr returned the phone to the woman slowly.

“dōu jeih (thank you)” he said.

It’s the only Cantonese word he understands.

The woman nodded in understanding before leaving.

“What are we gonna do now?” Angelika asked.

“We continue hiding. I’m sure mum will track us” Aleksandr replied, pulling her into another corner.

*

RUSSIA, THE BAYOU*

“Are we celebrating New year’s in like four days time? This is about to be the most boring New year’s day ever” Maya complained.

“That shouldn’t come from someone who never came out of her witchy room when we were still at the compound” Andrei replied, and she grinned, resting on his chest.

They’re sitting on the couch with several others while expecting dinner.

It’s 6pm.

Jinx is on Loud’s laps while Malik and Sin are opposite them.

Malik is glaring at them but Sin is sketching Trixie’s picture on his laptop.

Igor is sitting on the adjacent couch, reading his journals as usual.

The other mobsters are chatting, so it’s a busy living room.

Ksenia suddenly rushed out of the room, breathing hard.

“Father called just now! The twins called Zoya… they’re in Hong Kong!” She broke the news.

Everyone spranged up, and then Maya got a call from Madden almost immediately too.

She picked hastily, her eyes widening with each second till the call ended.

“Adeline…is alive” she muttered, and the shock doubled.

“What are y’all waiting for? Get the jet ready!” Igor shouted, and the living room scattered.

COLORADO, APEX SYNDICATE EMPIRE~ SICKROOM*

The doctor had to stitch Dominic’s  ear and head, and by logic, he’s not supposed to wake up till daybreak, but maybe his system is adamant too, cos at exactly 6pm, his eyes opened.

He sat up in bed, but he can’t hear anything with his second ear, and his head his banging with unfunny headache.

The cut ear affected it a lot, and the pain is immeasurable.

He was about to stand when the guards at the door rushed in.

“Boss! Turns out Vernon is Madden!” He announced, but Dominic heard nothing at all.

“What did you say?” He replied, cringing in pains.

The guard got his phone and typed VERNON IS MADDEN WITH A NEW FACE.

He showed him, and immediately Dominic saw it, his skull clanged.

The guard further informed him about how the head guard took Adeline away and how Madden is on his way to get her.

“Well then… gather all my guards from the east, north, and south. Get the mercenaries and terminators too. I’m gonna have to paint this city with his blood if he tries to take her, and if worse comes to worse, I’m killing the two of them. She’s mine, and if she can’t accept that, then she’d accept death. They’re not leaving this country” he said.

The guard smiled, bowing.

“Yes boss. I’ll gather everyone” he said, rushing out.

*

A DARK ALLEY*

A heavy downpour of water came down on Adeline’s face, and that woke her up.

She actually passed out during the ride here.

The  pain in her tummy resumed immediately, and she grabbed the tummy with her two hands as she tried to stand up.

She could hear the guards laughing at her weakness, and the laughter of the ugly head guard was the loudest.

She was staggering, and her legs were shaking sickly on the ground as she tried to take a stand.

“C’mon run your mouth again! Call me a ugly frog again!” The head guard pushed her, and when she tried attacking him back, her stomach turned.

“Hmmm!!!” She groaned, holding it tighter as she staggered on the wall.

“You can’t? You can’t speak anymore? Then run! Run little girl!” He pushed her again, and she fell on the ground.

She started crawling, and the guards followed her, laughing harder and enjoying this moment too much.

The pains is starting to enter Adeline’s head, and her eyes white is starting to turn yellow as a result of the poison.

She scrambled to her feet, and they pushed her again. She weakly fell.

Their laughter increased as she crawled to her feet again, but they still pushed her.

Each time she stood, they pushed her back to the ground heavily till they came out of the dark alley, to a dark silent street.

When they pushed her for the twentieth time, her knees peeled and were bleeding already, staining her white gown.

She was crawling on her hands and knees, and they’re still laughing.

“You shouldn’t have messed with the boss! Tessa is dead because she disobeyed him too much! Who do you think you are?” The head guard spat again.

Adeline couldn’t even stand anymore, she just continued crawling, her eyes turning and her bones crushing.

Seems like her flesh is getting blended too, and her blood feels too hot it’s evaporating.

“Madd… Madden…” She drooled, their mocking laughter drowning her weak words.

“Madden… Madd…en” she muttered again, ages at the verge of fainting again.

But then something flew into the air, sliding into that angle and ramming into the head of the head guard.

It’s a digger!

The sharp blade of the digger tore into his head, splitting his skull brutally into two.

The rest of the guards stepped back petrified as he fell with a loud thud, landing hard on the ground.

A blurry light suddenly came on in the tower not far from them, shinning on the road as the shadow of a devilish human appeared, walking giantly to them.

Adeline scrambled powerlessly to her feet, feeling so f+çking dizzy as dragged breaths escaped her hot nostrils.

The light from the tower shone directly on the coming devil, revealing the necklace on his chest.

The cross necklace, it was dangling sinfully on his chest.

Adeline’s rapid heartbeats came back, and hot tears escaped her eyes as she watched him…

She could have fainted, but his deep voice stopped her.

His words came filtering through the blurry light.

“Dusha…
