THE NEW APARTMENT.

"Die!" she shouted snapping her fingers but it was already too late, Elizabeth has taken control back but still a shock wave manage to hit the rage master disintegrating him instantly. Elizabeth opened her eyelid slowly, she wondered what had transpired when she lost control. Her head rang as the heiress's voices reverberated in her head. She lost her balance plummeting back to the ground.

Fortunately, Oliver was close by and ran forward stretching his arms he caught her holding her close to his chest.

"Thank you" She managed to say before passing out. Oliver stood for a while staring at her pale face with mixed expressions written all over his face. He carried her back into his house and laid her on his bed.

*BUZZ

His watch rang...

[ Incoming call from building agent ]

[ Accept || Decline ]

" Is this Mr twist?"

"Yes…"

"It's time we talk about your building"

"Ah, nearly forgot that will be there in minutes."

"Ok... we'll be expecting your company Mr twist "

"Yeah"

Oliver hung up.

Getting out of the room he grabbed a white top from his wardrobe and went into the bathroom to get changed, by the time he return Elizabeth was wide awake already staring outside the window.

"You're awake?"

"Yeah, just now…"

"Good um...how did you?"

"Forget it, let not talk about that now"

"Ok "

"And please don't tell anyone about what happened here can you do that for me?" She asked staring at him as he nodded in reply before speaking

"I'm going out now for the apartment issue and will be back before two hours"

"Alright!…wait can I also stay with you for a while before saving up to get a new apartment for myself "

"Sure you're always welcome "

"Thank you" She said as Oliver nodded again walking out of the house...

'Why do I feel so close to her it's kinda weird…we just knew each other recently'

[ It the contract… ]

'Is there nothing you can do about it '

[ Nothing unless you die or she dies, you guys will get closer and closer ]

' That's...beyond a normal contract it's like a curse '

[ Yeah, you can put it that way…but as you know all things have advantages and disadvantages ]

'Advantages and disadvantages like what?'

[ Read about bonded contract ]

'Phew...that would be later'

Oliver trekked to a parking lot and ordered a sliding car...The slide cars are well-known technological cars and also the fastest taxi on earth currently.

After a while, a car stopped in front of him and the door slid open.

He entered the car which sped up. Until after thirty-five minutes the car stopped at West land the agent's location which was at the edge of the scarlet city...

West land is a place known for having cheap and standard apartments.

Getting down from the car paying his t-fare the car…looking around...this was his first time here in west land even he didn't expect he would get there this fast because according to the map West land looks very distant and faint at the edge of scarlet city, it also the most busy district in Scarlet city.

Oliver crossed over to a small tea shop as he phoning the agent about his arrival, who in turn told Oliver to meet him in a certain building adjacent to where he was, Oliver picked up pace and went adjacent where he found a big building with the name 'Builders '...just like the agent had described, he walked into the building and saw a blonde haired man in a black business suit.

"Welcome to our company Mr. twist" The man greeted as they both shook hands. "It's nice meeting you"

"Same here, Mr…"

"The name is Mr.Mustapha "

"Oh…ok" Oliver nodded as Mr. Mustapha showed him the way to his office offering him a sit.

"Thank you, Mr. Mustapha "

"Jayden!" Mr. Mustapha called, after some minutes a beautiful young lady with long pants and a t-shirt with builders logo on the left pocket.

"You called me?" She asked politely.

"Yeah!, meet Oliver our latest customer…and Oliver meet my assistant Jayden"

"Hi"

"Heyy" she chirped waving quickly and stood next to Mr. Mustapha.

"Always shy jayden, so Mr twist would you like some coffee before we get started "

"Nah, I'm good"

"Ok…so to business," Mr. Mustapha said rubbing his palm together, they started discussing the kind of apartment, he (Oliver) would like to rent.

Mr. Mustapha brought out a holographic projection device that projected different kinds of houses, after going through several apartments he finally found one that looks very suitable to his taste, finally making his choice.

"I would like this one" Oliver said pointing at the apartment displayed on the projection.

"Oh this, are you sure?" Mr. Mustapha inquired staring at Oliver.

" Yes!"

"Mmmh, ok then it done" Mr. Mustapha said tapping the projected apartment, which displayed a price of [ $60,000 ]. Collecting the company's account details Oliver transfered the exact amount into their account.

After confirmation,

Oliver and Mr. Mustapha drove out to check the new apartment.

Arriving at the new apartment, a tall seven-story building painted blue and white, which has six stories situated three streets away from Beverly high school Oliver's school. Oliver looked around amazed by what he saw;

At the far end of the street Is a barrier separating a grade B jungle from the city in other to keep the civilians safe. 'DOPE!' Oliver thought with a huge scary grin plastered on his face. Mr. Mustapha showed him around and walked him into his very own apartment which was located on the third floor...the first apartment by the stairs.

Mr. Mustapha took him into the apartment, showing him how it looked.

In the apartment were two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dining room, a sitting room, and a kitchen as for the laundry it was in a small cellar on the last floor.

Later in the evening, Mr. Mustapha's assistant Jayden drove Oliver home with other workers to take their load to their second apartment before that Oliver already phoned Elizabeth and told her to be prepared that they were moving out today.

***

After loading all their stuff in (Including Elizabeth's) Oliver paid the workers as they drove off.

Oliver and Elizabeth returned to their apartment on their way back...Oliver was in front lost in thought leaving Elizabeth behind

"Oliver" she called begin him as he turned back waiting for her to catch up.

"What's wrong?"

"No…thing just...wanted to say thank you, I owe you a lot," She said shyly giving Oliver's hand an affectionate squeeze Oliver stared at their hands and Elizabeth's face dumbfounded and speechless. Elizabeth's face turned bright red blushing in embarrassment...making the situation worse their new neighbors were already waiting to welcome them seeing this they broke hands quickly as they exchange pleasantries with their new neighbors.

It was nighttime already...Oliver went to bed happily, his daily task has been canceled including the appointment he had with the unknown leader…which he decided he would see after school tomorrow.

"GOOD NIGHT"
