The car came to a halt at Jessica's apartment and Natalie hurried up to get the car opened for him.Alex adjusted the shirt he had on, stayed calm and beckoned on the girl he found by the doorstep if Jessica was around.The child scrutinized the man in front of her and suddenly ran inside. Natalie was behind wondering what next scene would be created.She must say, her first day at work is just honorifics. Alex shoved his face at her and asked;"Do I look scary?"His PA gave a him a positive reply and it made him sigh. But then why did the little girl run away on sighting him? While he was lost in his contemplations, an old man approached him with a grumpy face."Ethan?" The old man mused counting the steps before him to reach the young man."Yes?" Alex responded clearing his throat and shifting his gaze to the old man. He gave a bow In a courtesy way and the old man scoffed."Get in, we've got serious issues to discuss" the old man snapped and Alex gulp. Seriously? He wasn't here for

Natalie gazed at her hand, the phone she had was beeping loudly. Where she stood, she could hear some employees gossiping and trembling about something.Her legs stood behind her bosses door, just Incase he needed any attention. It was her first day at work and so, she needed to do her best not to be kicked out by this mood swinging boss of hers who was so unpredictable.The Ethan she knew of, his actions could be determined by his employees and those close to him. He was a mafia afterall which meant ever wrong was right to him.It was through some pokenosers that she learnt about the current situation Alex was passing through. The bemused girl had to answer the phone call in a hast."I couldn't, but I had a reason why" she snapped immediately a question was thrown at her by the caller."You must have heard what's on the news, it seems fate is on our side" the voice mumbled over the phone and Natalie squints her eyes."That certainly means his death has to be place on halt" Natalie mu

"Wake up! Please! Alex!"Those words made his ears tingle as the voice seems similar to his mother. Hot tears dropped on his face causing his body to quaver."Could he be back home?"He tried opening his eyes but they were shut, he tried moving his hands, but they weren't moving! His body was stiff that he couldn't make a sound. It could only be that he was paralyzed.His ears could hear the holter monitor beeping slowly. His body was hypersensitive that any touch made him shiver."Alex, please stay alive for me, I'm so sorry!" The voice cried and he heard other voices crying in the background.How comes they call him his real name? Wasn't he referred to as boss or Ethan. Soon, he heard a voice which his mind read could be a doctor say;"He's in a vegetative state, it would be advisable you give him rest""Alex, I love you, please don't go yet" that same voice which sounded like his mother pleaded while implanting a kiss on his forehead.There was silence in a short while and he could

It was quite disturbing, to be questioned in that kind of situation. His breath was almost sinking as all he thought of was been brutally killed by this crazy woman in front of him.This was beyond imaginations and she was still smiling at him."Why do...y.o.u...want...me...dead?" He stammered in a shaky tone.She chuckled and winked at him, why would she want him dead?"Just joking!" She claimed and handed him the letter claiming that was what she was looking for before the equipments came out.He sighed and collected the letter, although with doubts and fear. His hands refused to open it and so, he requested her to do so."Alright, let me read it aloud, mother sent it specially for you" she teased giggling again.Whenever she does that, he feels his heart has stop breathing for a moment. Alex murmured to himself, couldn't her mother just make a simple call rather than sending a deadly letter.She sat beside him, about to open the letter, for Alex, he had to shift a bit just Incase t

An act of self defense they would say, but will society accept it that way? It was certain he would be looked upon as a murderer.He shivered where he laid but then felt a warm hand on his head, a second hand patting him on the back as though not to worry.Alex was confused about the reaction he was feeling, over who this person could be. It was obvious he had a nightmare with the way he writhe, shivered and cried.But all of a sudden, a warm hand made him relax! He gradually opened his eyes to take a look at who it was and surprisedly, it was Natalie, faking a smile.He shuddered and hauled her hands away from him because he was feeling unease around her. What was she doing over there this early?Wow! How was she going to explain her side of the story on how she got here? Wasn't she meant to be away gathering the mobs?Her fake smile made him stun that he jerk from the stretcher and sighed. She shoved her hands away, gnashed her teeth and said;"I thought you were awake,...I well cam
