REIGN ON ASHES

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Two years later.

“Are you sure you want to serve? It’s a big event, we don’t just let anyone serve. why don’t you stay backstage?” A tall dark dark-skinned man with a goat beard and little mustache asked the petite lady standing before him.

The girl nodded with a bright smile on her face, “Of course, I have been working with you for three months now, please give me an opportunity to serve, it’s not all the time we get to meet big people like that.” she pouted.

The man bit his lips as he looked at the lady standing before him, knowing that he couldn't resist her cuteness. He exhaled and smacked his hands over his face. “Fine, but if you don't know what to do, call me immediately!” the man blurted, stern yet assuring.

The girl giggled, “Yes sir.” she saluted and walked into the kitchen, getting dressed for the big night because it was going to be the beginning of everything.

Tonight, was not just another night where they cater for random people. Tonight was different, tonight, was the celebration of a Doctor, not just any Doctor but Doctor John. After successfully performing a surgery that was deemed impossible, Doctor John was given an award by the US embassy as one of the best Doctors of all time. His children returned from the state to join their father in celebration and this little petite girl had a big surprise for them.

“Hey, girl, I never got your name, it’s been three months and you’ve never told us your name.” A man, dressed in black pants and, a white shirt, was built like a guard yet forced to be a chef. Handsome with little or no flaws. He has taken a liken to our girl.

I mean who wouldn't? She is short, five foot four, with long brunette hair, her body curved like she was sculpted, her eyes strangely dim red making her stand out, her lips shaped like a heart and don't me started on her boobs and ass, she is endowed.

“Oh, right, I guess I never did, My name is Nova,” she said with a deadly smile.

The man of course didn't take a hint, “Oh, what a beautiful name.” He said in his Russian accent, looking at her like he would devour her if he got the chance, that’s if Nova doesn't break all his bones, turn him into a meatball, and feed her enemies. “Do you think we can have dinner tomorrow? We won't be working.” he muffled.

“No!” she said without batting an eye.

“Why? If I may ask?”

She exhaled, “First, no, you may not ask why, and second, because today will be the last day you see me.” she winked and walked away before he could say another word.

The sun was down and the party began. Guest strode into the outdoor space for the event. It was more like a close friend and colleague kind of event. It was more like a garden but it had a pool and wide space.

This is going to be so much fun.

Okay so, identity is revealed, I’m going to pass the story over to Nova now.

Enjoy.

*****NOVA****

First, I don’t know who the hell that was but I bet you’re wondering what I am doing here, how I survived the fall from a three-story building while paralyzed.

We still have about an hour before the main event starts so here is a brief explanation.

I almost died. AGAIN!

But Julius had injected me with something before throwing me out the window and might I remind you that I am superhuman? Superhumans don't just die from being thrown out the window, instead, it’s fueled my hunger for revenge and death.

The bag he gave me was nothing short of pure gold bars and money, lots and lots of money.

And here I am using the money he gave me to sponsor my revenge plan.

Story time’s over, time to get to work.

“A drink please.” a lady waved at me and I strode towards her with the tray in my left hand, serving her the white wine placed on it.

I did the same for everyone who raised their hands for one glass after another. I caught sight of Doctor John’s daughter, the first I assume, she should be about seventeen years old.

“Hi.” I greeted her handing her a glass and she shook her head.

“I don’t drink.” She muffled, smiling at me. Such an innocent girl. If only she knew what her father had done to give her this life.

“Your father, he is an amazing man right?” I muffled and her face lit up and she agreed.

“Best father in the world, I couldn’t ask for more. I want my future husband to be like my dad.”

I laughed.

Her brows frowned and she turned to me confused.

“You don’t want your man to be anything like him!” I grumbled.

“Excuse me! What the hell?” She sneered.

“Take your sister and go tell your father you love him … oh and make sure you sit next to him for the rest of the evening, who knows, this might be the last you’d see him.”

“What the hell?” She frowned but she did as I said, she must have realized that I wasn’t joking.

It was time to serve the main dish, heading backstage I saw that chef whispering to his sous chef and other assistants and they were all glaring my way.

Oh! Men! Disgusting creatures. I turn you down and now I am your enemy… Trust me you don’t want me as your enemy.

“It’s time for the toast, Taylor, take the wine to the doctor!” Our head chef ordered and I ran over to him, acting cute just as I have through the last three months to gain his favor.

“I want to.” I pouted.

“You are new, I can’t give you sure hard task.” He blurted.

“Please.” I pouted and he exhaled, “Fine.”

I grabbed the wine for the toast and placed it on the big tray which I had to push to where the doctor was sitting with his family.

“Good evening Doctor, I’m a fan,” I whispered while opening the bottle.

“Oh, thank you.” He chuckled.

He lifted the wine to his nose to take in the smell before he took a sip. “It smells different.” He mumbled.

“It’s a new wine, we picked it, especially for the occasion,” I answered.

He laughed and took a sip while I turned to excuse myself, my eyes locked with his daughter and I curled my lips into an evil smile. Horror spread on her face and she looked away.

Now this is the hour we all have been waiting for.

Doctor John got up to make his toast, “I would like to say a big thank you to every one of you.. *cough*… who took the time to… *cough* sorry, who took the time to come here to *cough* to *cough*” he cleared his throat and placed his hands on his neck, feeling slightly uncomfortable.

Seems like it’s working.

I sat with a wine in my hands, watching.

“Are you okay?” His wife asked, giving him the same wine to drink.

Hmm, does she not realize how dangerous that wine is?

Of course she doesn’t, no one knows except me.

“Sorry, as I was saying, I want to say a big thank you to everyone who took the time to …” The wine glass in his hands fell to the ground and I burst out laughing, causing everyone to turn to me.

Oh, did I forget to mention that I had a mic in my hands?

“Oh, I’m sorry, it’s just funny watching you struggle when you can feel the acid burning you from inside.” I jested.

Doctor John looked at me, horror in his eyes, “What… what .. what are you talking about.” He stuttered, his hands trembled, beads of sweat plastered on his head.

“Tell me, Doc, do you feel like your stomach is on fire? Do you feel it burning inside out?” I rasped.

Horror splashed on his face as he held his throat, “Water!”

“Give me water!” He yelled.

Should I tell him that water will only worsen his condition? Hell no!

As I said, this is going to be fun.

I watched him gulp down the glasses of water and once again burst out laughing.

“Doc, are you familiar with the word Nero accid?” I rasped and his eyes widened, of course, he was familiar.

It was an accid used on us while we were in the lab. While we were being tortured.

“No!”

“No!”

“Who the f**k are you!” He yelled.

“Me?”

“I am the one who will bring every last one of you to your grave! I will bring death to your doorstep! I will bring chaos, and havoc on all of you and you my friend, you are my stepping stone.”

I heard him scream out loud in pain, as his body began to burn from the inside until his intestines fell out of his body, until his face burnt from the inside out.

He screamed just like I screamed, he begged just as I begged and no one dared move near him. His daughters and wife cried out as they watched the man of their life go through an excruciating death but they can’t save him, just as no one saved the children they burnt, no one will save them.

This is the easiest death of all. The rest will face hell, they will beg for death and I will deprive them of it.

Death and Revenge are only what I live for and I will get every last one of them.
