Chasing After My Wife Chapter 537
Advertisement
Jade woke up in the middle of the night and climbed down of the bed to get some water since her throat was a little parch after eating a lot of sweets the day before.
"Sweetie, where are you going?" Savannah asked when she felt that the other side of the bed was empty.
"I'll get some water, Auntie Savy. Just go back to sleep. I'll be fine."
"Okay. Don't go out of the room."
"Yes, auntie." Jade poured a glass of water for herself and drank it. She also brought another little to place it on the bedside table, just in case she'd get thirsty again. She walked back to the bed with the bottle of water.
She noticed that there were people walking back and forth outside the room and base on their steps, she could tell that they were the soldiers stationed to keep them safe. How she knew? Well, she was living with four soldiers at home and she can distinguish the light steps whenever they walked.
Remembering what Savannah said, Jade ignored what was happening outside and went back to sleep. If she went out, she'd probably be taken as a hostage. There were members of the gang who infiltrated the hotel and the soldiers received the information not long ago.
They didn't have any idea who the people were and what kind of identities they used. They needed to strengthen their security. Stefan also received the news from the head of the security department of the hotel. Worried for the security of his friend's family, Stefan told the security department that other guests should use a different elevator, as well as the hotel employees. The elevator at the left wing should be used by the soldiers and Travis' family. No one else aside from them can use it.

It was another way for him to separate his special guests from the possible treat that came to his hotel. He also informed Travis about it via text message since he knew that it would be inappropriate to disturb him in the middle of the night.
When next morning came, Travis woke up first but he still stayed beside his wife. He knew that Jillyanna would panic when he's not there the moment she wakes up. He picked up his phone on the bedside table and cuddled her once again. He read the messages that he received overnight.
His eyes turned cold when he read the one from Stefan. It was a serious matter and if Jillyanna knew about it, she'd be worried again. She couldn't make a phone call with her in his arms so he sent a message to Savannah, Brown and Gabriel about it.
Savannah just woke from her sleep when she received the message from Travis and Jade was still sleeping beside her. "This is bad." Savannah whispered to herself as she read the message. She sent a response telling him to take care of themselves since she will take care of the children and the other people with her.
Travis was confident that everyone will be safe with the soldiers looking after them. Brown sent him a message with the same thought as Savy. The same went for Gabriel. Even if he can't fight, he can still fire a gun if someone would forcefully take anyone from their side.
Brown informed Riley and Jackie about the message that he got from Travis. Between the three of them, the twins were the ones who can fight admirably against enemies. They got skills and strength to defend the family whereas Shein was a little weaker compared to them but he was very smart as well and can think of things strategically.

Stefan went to the hotel the next day to see how everyone was doing. Since they were considered under his protection, he needed to make sure that they were doing fine in his hotel. After all, Travis had helped him a lot. It was his little way of repaying his kindness.
He went to look for Jade first and when he found that she was alright, she looked for Raizel which was being taken cared of Sky and Alex. He brought them fruits and other kind of food that they can consume. Even though they were in a resort, they couldn't enjoy the place because of the risk that's lurking around the corner.
It was Winter's soldier who found out that some of the escapee went to the resort where the Madrigal and the Madrid were staying. They were about to withdraw from the mission to wrap things up when he noticed that four people from the lists had a change of information.
He didn't know how it changed but he knew that Tristan did something with the profiles. Whenever the member tries to escape, the information will also change and it will show their current location. The reason why he knew that it was the resort that Jillyanna's family hid was because he was told by Winter to look after Gabriel from afar.
Wherever Gabriel was, Thomas should be there. Wherever Thomas was, Brown and Savannah would be there. Wherever these two people are, Jillyanna's family would be there. Therefore, he made a conclusion that it was where the whole family stayed. He relayed this information to Winter as soon as he can and she confirmed that it was indeed the resort where the whole family stayed.
Thus, the soldiers were dispatched once again to capture those men before they can harm the people at the resort. They can't be certain if they were targeting the Madrigal family but it would be troublesome if the criminals will involve the civilian, Madrigal, Madrid or not.
Soldiers were roaming around the place to make sure that no one will come to the two floors were the VIP guests were staying. Some people were even wondering what was going on. Yesterday, the soldiers were wearing civilian clothes but it would be difficult for the other family members to distinguish them from the other civilians.
Now, with the threat of the criminal being in the same premise as them, the soldiers changed into their camouflage and brought out their guns. They all had a serious facial expression and the looked really imposing.
The other guests feel comfortable as well, knowing that they were secured from any harm with the soldiers around them.
"Looks like we can't take action against them. It would be better if we surrender instead of getting killed. Our punishment should be lighter since we haven't killed anyone yet."

Viridescent Core
Some mortals see dungeons as a plague to destroy. Some mortals see dungeons as a resource to manage and harvest. Some mortals see dungeons as a place to train and advance. However, all of them agree on something. Dungeons are unnatural and deadly. Places where death stalks every corner and monsters thrive. What mortals forget, in their hubris of tools and civilizations, is that Mother Nature is often the deadliest of all. Feel free to write any comment, suggestion, or criticism. I read and appreciate every single one! Releases are on Mondays and Thursdays. With occasional bonus chapters on Saturdays. Have a nice day ^^

Kreig Goes Apesh*t (An AU of Returning to No Applause)
An AU of my previous story, Returning to No Applause, that asks the simple question of "What if it all went wrong?" When Kreig first appears on Earth again, after being stranded in another world for 130 years, he finds himself faced with weapons and guns. In a fit of instinct, he accidentally murders one of the many Fighters, causing what can only be described as a massacre to take place. The story that follows this simple premise is completely opposed to the one told before, focusing less on character improvement and more so degradation. It should come as no surprise that I personally recommend reading the OG story before checking this one out, and if you've already done so, great! Swell havin' ya! Any such readers might remember that I mentioned writing a story like this a while back, and... Here we are. This is in no way a continuation or sequel, nor will it be very long. Expect around 15 chapters at most depending on various factors. All and all, the 5-page length will remain the same (apart from chap. 1) and so will the release time, Sundays at 20:30 EST (I think?). All that aside, I sure hope you'll enjoy this! It'll obviously be very different from the OG story, but I personally think that's a good thing. Cheerio!

Rimward Bound
Every citizen of the sky-cities of His Majesty's Star-Empire knows that a ship, both sky- and star-, is more then just a few bits of metal. It is the grand sum of it's hull and the crew that sail it. 'Hulls of battle-steel and men to match!' That's what the Navy's recruitment poster's claim at least. Every sailor knows that there is one more component that the city-bound folk ignore at their own peril: the soul of the ship. That it takes both man and hull to make a true ship, and that neither alone serve well or for long. In 8225 Lord Jeffrye Saltonstall the Fourth, Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps, demands semi-automated ships to 'reduce the loss of life among our brave crews', manages to convince the other politicians and bureaucrats to fund them, and gets the Office of Ship Construction to sign off on the ships as structurally sound. Dockyard workers shake their heads at the ships, muttering that they are cursed from birth, even as construction drags on. In 8230 the Explorer, first of her class, is launched. She sets out in 8233 to great fanfare on a trip expected to last six months. Neither she nor her twelve-person crew is ever heard from again. By 8235, the remaining seven Explorers are are commissioned. Lord Saltonstall managed to find crews for six of them but at the cost of mass resignations. The Night Horse, last of the Explorer class, sat in reserve as her sister-ships served well enough despite ill luck and misfortune. The Office of Ship Construction quietly issues notice that no more semi-automated ships are to be built and that all active Semi-automated ships are to be quietly retired and broken up for scrap over the next ten years. The Night Horse, sitting in reserve, is missed due to bureaucratic oversight. In 8250 Lord Ayland Wynstryngham the Eighth assumes the office of Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps. His first act is to issue notice that no ship is to be without crew nor sit in dock or reserve for longer then required for maintenance and upkeep. The Night Horse, all but forgotten, is quietly brought back into active service. Recruiting a crew for her proves another matter entirely. What poor or desperate fool would willingly sign on to crew, much less command, a cursed ship and spend months or years in deep space? Well, you would, of course. Where else is a kid from the gutters going to find that kind of freedom in the service of His Majesty? A [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] 2021. Warnings: Second person is used in this work. Semi-Polished draft: Posted chapters are subject to revision as needed as things progress. Mild Profanity on occasion.
