Xavier stood, walking towards Nyla,his height towering over her,his gaze dark and detached.
Nyla shivered,her lashes fluttering constantly,she gulped down her saliver as he got closer.
Xavier squatted to her position,he grabbed her jaw ,his dark gaze burning through her soul."If only Lisa had chosen not to be a coward by ending her life..." He spoke through clenched teeths and raised tone." If only she let me hunt her,torture her till death ... I wouldn't have let the beast grow in me,but it's too late Nyla..." His eyes were red and void."It's too late... Bianca is gone. So what use..."
"Bianca is gone,but your son still lives." Nyla summoned the courage to speak, staring into his eyes.
Xavier released her jaw harshly,his eyes burning with rage."Don't you dare call that trash my son!"
Nyla gasped.
"Once I find a way to end Dark don't expect to still breath...and Kiara. Leave now or I might be forced to take your life now!"
Nyla gulped down nothing. Quickly her hands gripped the hand rims and she began to wheel herself out.
Xavier stood,his breath harsh and his rage high. He took the glass containing wine and threw it in a wall. "Argh!"

Maxwell pov'
The next day.
Maxwell Dylan,a guy with perfectly built frame with broad shoulders and toned arms.
He grew up in a poor home. His parents couldn't take care of him and still ,the little money he manage to make his parents never appreciate. They keep cursing him— saying he was an evil child that should never have been born and it's because of him they're still poor.
Soon he was sent away from home by his parents.
So he started living on the street, joining bad gangs, getting involved in many bad deeds and then he became rich and he was able to further his education so he could be admitted into Nova core university which he attends,but he didn't come to Nova core university because of education,but inorder to locate his parents that abandoned him and also because of the connections he received.
Oxford city is where he received much money in his illegal business than in America where he came from.
Maxwell Dylan is a cadaver trafficker and he's the boss at his job.
Maxwell Dylan descended down the stairs,shirtless,his golden chain dangling around his neck.
The maids lowered their heads in respect as he passed.
Reaching the sitting room,he settled down on a recliner,crossed his legs and took a glass on the table, stretching his hand forward for a refill.
A maid quickly rushed towards him, picking his best wine,she refilled his glass,her hands trembling slightly.
"Is there anything you want me to do sir?" She spoke softly.
"Strip." He ordered,his tone low,but firm as his gaze trailed over her form.
"Ss...ir?"she stammered,fear lacing her voice.
"I can see you're a new maid here." His gaze narrowed towards the other maids who were also trembling,their heads lowered.
"And they didn't bother to tell you my rules here?"He smirked." I won't punish you... What's your name?"He licked his lips, staring at her figure.
"Anna."She answered quietly.
"So Anna...what you do not know must be learnt in two days. Cause I hate a boring show. Now leave."
"Yes sir." She hurriedly left.
Colin walked in quietly,his eyes sharp and calculative. He lowered his head before Maxwell in greetings. Then he raised his head to meet his boss gaze.
"You were one minute late."
"I'm sorry boss...I saw something suspicious going on with Ariana so I had to keep watch."
"What did you see?"He lowered his glass down on the table, folding his hands together.
"She knows what we did at Ridge view street."
"I know."
"I overheard her telling her friend what she saw at Ridge view street,but her friend didn't seem to believe her. She laughed over it.
Few hours later I saw Ariana get into her car so I followed her as she drove through Ridge view street and stopped at Fernandez villa ,but she didn't go further again after several times of glancing back."
"That's because she saw you. You fool! Now how do we know whether she saw us kill Fernandez!" He snapped,his eyes bloodshot."You're good at sensing situation. Yeah I'll rate you for that,but you never finish the job... can't you just be like Drake for once..."
Maxwell scowled.
Colin lowered his head, sighing quietly in frustration.
Maxwell continued."You followed Ariana,but you were clumsy to get caught,but if it was Drake he'll never get caught... you're just useless."
"If I was useless why don't you just let Drake be your personal guard,but you gave him a free holiday." Colin muttered quietly.
"What did you say?" His brows furrowed as he looked at Colin.
Colin raised his head." I was only saying Drake will be back soon and I won't make the same mistakes." Colin lied plainly.
Maxwell hissed." Same words repeated... What did you find about the newbie?"
"Yes I did find some information." Colin straightened." His name is Dark Hubbard, he's nineteen. No digital footprint... Someone must have erased his past which must mean...his identity was not meant to be known till now."
Maxwell brows twitched with interest."Go on."
"He has no school records,but he came from a very rich family— The Hubbard's.
And I noticed something about him."
"Speak."
"He seems not to be interested with anything or anyone in Nova core... He's either busy with his phone or staying in a dark corner alone. Mr Maxwell with this information I believe he was forced to attend Nova core. Maybe his father didn't want him again."
"If his father didn't want him again why will he send a guard to protect him." He glared at him in disgust." I appreciate the information Colin, but you must be smart for once."
Colin lowered his head in frustration.
"If Drake was here he won't have uttered such rubbish... Next time you don't utter what you don't know."
"Yes sir."
"Now get out. Keep an eye on Ariana before she says or do anything stupid."
"Yes sir." He bowed, turned and left.
...
Nova core university.
Dark arrived at the vice chancellor office,his hands in his pockets and his expression plain." You wanted to see me."
Mr Lombert raised his head,a smile spread across his face. He stretched his hand towards Dark." Yes I did. Come over here. Sit."
"I prefer to stand sir."
"Oh. Okay..." Mr Lombert cleared his throat." Mr Dean informed me to take full responsibility on your education which means you will be having further lessons on the subjects you've missed... You came when the lecture's soon to end so your few months here,you should be able to have learnt a lot. It's because you're Mr Dean nephew that's why such is allowed."
Dark stood, eyes fluttered as he stared at him in silence.
"Don't you have anything to say?"
"No...you called me here to give me some information and I accept. I didn't call you neither was I called to say anything so you shouldn't expect words from my mouth."
"Alright Mr Dark I'll..."
"Dark. Cut the formalities please."
"Alright Dark...you should be here very early tomorrow so you can start your lessons before the normal time for lectures begin. I'm sorry you'll have to sacrifice your time."
"Nah... My time's no use so I don't see any reasons why I shouldn't sacrifice it... Can I leave?"
"Yes of course. Nice meeting you Dark." He smiled, watching his retreating back.
Dark walked out of the office after shutting the door he almost tripped. He narrowed his gaze towards the person who was responsible,his eyes turning red with rage and bloodshot.
Prince walked over to him, smiling widely. He tapped his shoulder " oops...I didn't know it'll be you walking out that door. My bad." He sneered.
Dark pushed his hand off him,dusting where he placed his hand." I don't have much to say to you lad... seems your arrival from the hospital has brought great results."
Prince stared at him, filled with anger and disgust." I'm so disgusted to be called your cousin...I wish it was all a mistake and you were adopted."
"I wish so too." Dark muttered then a smile spread across his face." I'm also so happy and in anticipation to see your father reaction when he realizes the disappointment he calls his son."
Anger filled his heart." My father loves me ."
" Soon enough that word will fade away." He turned and walked away.
Prince made an attempt to follow,but Tinna and Mia appeared before him.
"Who made you so upset prince?" Tinna placed her hands around his neck, gazing into his eyes and his expression softened a bit,a smile spreading across his face.
" It's Dark... Don't worry I'm cool."
"Are you sure? You were so angry when I saw you."
" Yes I was... don't worry about me. Worry about you." He touched her cheeks softly.
"Me? What's wrong with me?" She suddenly remembered her friend, Mia and she turned,but didn't see her.
She tapped her forehead, mortified at Mia actions.
"What's wrong baby?" He touched her shoulder.
"No it's nothing. Let's head somewhere quiet shall we?"
They turned, walking away,hands held.
Mia had called Dark several times,but he didn't answer. So she ran towards him, standing before him,her arms folded. Her eyes scanned his figure and she licked her lips.
"How may I help you miss?" Dark stared down at her short figure,his gaze uninterested.
"I've been noticing you for quite a week now and you seem like a gentleman..."
"No." He answered plainly.
"Uh?"
"Don't bother trying to know me or you'll get your heart butchered to tiny pieces... I'm totally not your type." He moved passed her,but she still ran towards him.
"You can't just give up on what life is offering you... c'mon..."
"Life." Dark chuckled darkly." You don't know anything about life. Now move aside." He raised his hand, pushing her aside.
Mia touched her shoulder, smiling widely." He touched me... geez. I'm never going to watch this shirt. He even laughed...so cute." She kept drooling and smiling while walking down the school hallway.
...
AshVale Mansion.
Maxwell Dylan sat on his couch, relaxed, watching sports.
Then the door bell rang.
A maid ran to open the door.
She smiled, allowing her in because she was Maxwell girlfriend and she was always allowed to come into his mansion any time she wants.
Maxwell stood in surprise,his eyes scanning her whole figure. He gulped down nothing,his gaze lingered on Ariana as he couldn't resist the urge to hold her.
She was dressed in a fitted gown which brought out her curves.
Ariana smiled heartily." Did I disrupt something?"
