《Stylish, sassy and feisty》Chapter 20 - 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐧

The hotel was on fire. My fucking hotel was on fire. And you and I both know the only person who would do this to piss me off.
Martinez.
He's gone too far.
I entered the site.
When a Adelina approached me she panted 'Everyone was out in time and no one's hurt but the buildings need repairing. Most of the people have lost their stuff in the fire so will demand some sort of money. Reina, you ok?'
'No, my hotel just burnt down with near to a thousand people living in it.'
'I know but-'
'No buts Ade, innocent lives could have been spilled.'
She hesitated and then questioned 'You know who did this?'
'Who do you think?' I replied not taking my eye off the dying fire.
'Jax Martinez.' she said quietly.
I nodded.
He won't be getting any hesitation from me.
The crowd looked worried and concerned and as soon as the fire died out I needed to speak to them.
'Ladies and Gentlemen. As you can see a fire has disrupted us from our normal lives and it is not something that makes you able to go and live your life. So for this reason, slowly fifty people at a time will come into the hotel and take whatever is left of their belongings. In addition to this, you will all receive 5000 US Dollars from the company as an apology for your stay with us being disturbed. If you need any help, my secretary and I will be on the site as well as other members of staff. Thank you.'
I saw camera crews from local news swarming around in the site. The cops were here as well. They questioned people on the case but I know they won't find any leads because they are under the pay salary of Martinez. So they will stay as quiet as a dormouse.

I told Serephina to deal with the cops and firemen.
Adelina would deal with the money given to our clients.
And I was going to deal with the culprit behind this whole fire incident.
The big Martinez headquarters.
Grand and beautiful as per always but the owner not so much.
I went in and saw the receptionist.
'I need to speak to Martinez.'
'Ma'am he is not in the city for now. Should I book you a meeting for when he is back?'
'No need.' I said while exiting and proceeded to his office.
I knew she was lying. I was trained to realise it when I was younger so I could be able to differ the truth from the lies.
And there was the man.
Sitting on his chair talking to another man who by the looks of it was his friend.
White shirt. Blue pants. Blue blazer.
He shot his friend a glare and commanded 'leave'
The man looked at me up and down. So I did the same and as he walked past I whispered 'your boss has small dick energy.'
He was clearly amused by my little joke but I think he thinks that I am lying but I ain't.
He walked out.
As soon as I heard the door shut. I glared at him.
'You think burning my hotel is the best way to piss me off.'
'What is your crazy head winding on about now because I have no clue what you are on about.'
I wanted to play him at his own game.
I went by his desk but on his side and made my way onto his lap.
I straddled him and I felt him go hard.
My fingertips were outlining every inch of his body starting from his knees to his abs to his chest and I wrapped my hands around his neck.
I was literally 2 inches away from his face.
He stared into my eyes as I stared into his.
I leaned into his ear and whispered,
'I truly am the Queen of the chessboard.'
And like that I got up and snapped his chair making him fall apart and made a jump out of the window.

Wolf's Tail Reboot
I always thought death would be the end, but I later found out that it was just the beginning. I was a slave for my entire life. I served diligently, hoping I would be free someday. But then I died. My stomach was slashed open in a flash, and I bled out. I was ready for death; I had been since I was first collared. I was even happy to sleep an eternal rest. I just didn't realize that death was my opportunity to really live. -------------------------- Author's Note: I don't plan on having any explicit sexual content, but the tag is on so that I won't feel restrained in my writings. Also, the updates will be sporadic at best since I can only write when I'm free which is, unfortunately, rare.

Dark Winter
It is always darkest before the dawn. After the divorce, Katie Fox was forced to live with her mother in New York after the judge ruled that her father, a former Army Ranger, wasn’t stable enough. They called him ‘that crazy bunker guy’ or ‘that paranoid freak.’ Whatever they called him, Christopher Fox was a Prepper. He taught those willing to listen how to survive in a catastrophe and how to prepare for the end of the world. More than that though, he was her father and she would rather spend her life in his underground bunker than another minute in that New York highrise. So, she ran away. The date is November 28th, Black Friday and hell has been unleashed on the world. A freak storm mixes with a deadly virus that turns its victims into mindless hunters of flesh. Katie will have to use everything her father taught her to survive and reach the safety of his underground bunker. Note from the author: Thanks for stopping by! The plan is to upload a chapter every Saturday or Sunday (as my schedule allows). Hope you enjoy the story!

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
