Chapter 8

872 Words
Maya’s P. O. V.   It did not take much time to arrive right in front of the entrance of the Luxor Hotel and Casino as I could clearly see the name was glittering magnificently in the night on the very top of the tower. “Finally.” I breathed out in relief, thinking that I reached till this point at least just as how I had planned. But that also means I have a lot to accomplish now. Without any further ado, I went straight up to their reception and after going through some formalities, I, at last, checked in to the room 7015, where I will be staying for a couple of days, at least until I complete the task for which I came here in the first place. The room which I got was not so bad either. It is fully air conditioned. The room was perfectly decorated in a luxurious set up with a king size bed in the middle. Throwing my backpack to a side, I walked straight to open the long curtains only to get mesmerized all over again, cause as soon as I removed the curtains an entire wall made of glass appeared right in front of my eyes from where the entire city came into my vision. It felt like I have come to some kind of heaven as everything looked so small from up here and those lights all over the city were enough to enchant someone with the splendid view of the city. A sound of popped up notification on my phone pulled me. Out of my trance all of a sudden and only then I remembered that I have not contacted Charlie since when I have arrived here in Las Vegas. Without thinking much, I quickly dialed his number and it started ringing on the other side in no tie and I waited for him to pick up. “Good evening, Miss.” Charlie’s voice came from the other side of the call as soon as he picked up. “Yes, I have arrived. Is everything okay over there?” I asked cautiously cause the only thing I wanted to know is about Zoe. “Yes, Miss. The youngest miss Walton had just returned from her after school classes.” Informed Charlie. “After school classes?” I could not help but ask, cause as far as I know that she never had any kind of classes like this. So, what about this now? “Yes, miss. She joined today only. She wanted to utilize her time before the exam as none of you or even Mr Walton is here to keep her company any more.” Whatever Charlie said over the phone, was indeed all new to me and I could not help but get startled. Cause it seemed like whatever happened in the past is not going to repeat in the same manner. It is more like everything depends on what I did different in this life as my sudden change of action will be responsible for changing the events of the time as well. Even so, I could do nothing as I have already come far away from home. “Okay.” That was what I said before hanging up the phone, cause now I have enough reason to worry. What if my actions initiated the process of Dad’s accident even earlier than the actual time? What if I fail to save him this time either? A lot of anxieties kept coming up in my mind only to make me even more exhausted than I am. But then the strangest thing happened to me for which I was definitely not ready. Cause I heard a voice, when there was no one except me inside the room. And what it said freaked me out without any doubt.   ‘****Attention**** You have just unlocked a new skill. From now on you will be able to see the choices before you decide what you will do to prevent the time from repeating once again. Demonstration: Your father is going to be attacked in a few days which will cause him a great injury. While on the other hand, a conspiracy is going to happen at your own home which involves your sister Zoe. Now, you have two options and you could choose to do any one of them. 1.     You can find out your father’s assassin before time and save your father, but it will also mean that you will never get to know who is going to betray The Sapphire Syndicate and how. 2.     If you chose to reveal the faces of the traitors of The Sapphire Syndicate to end all the rivalries once and for all, you will lose the chance to save your father and he will die in a few months. Now, what would you like to choose?’ An unfamiliar animated voice resonated around the room all of a sudden, which frightened me to death. Cause at first I thought that I must have been found out by the other mafias and now they are going to trap me with these stupid tricks. But it was not the case.
