"News?" Alex beckoned with a terrified gaze at her. What news couldn't wait until sunset?"Yes, Lucian had solved everything sir" she declared pushing herself with the chair metres away from him."That's great news, I see why you couldn't wait" he declared with a sad face. He didn't show any sign of excitement as he still felt goosebumps, seeing her around."Where's Lucian? He's meant to be here too" Alex added not wanting to ask her why those hands of hers were on him earlier."Work sir, he still has to explain to the executives that you're unwell and won't be attending any conference call" she explained broading a smile and gulping.She was praying hard for him to just say; "you may leave" however, that prayer wasn't answered as he made her run errands.What the hell? This was more like punishment, as she was made to get him meals which he dislikes once a minute passes.The grocery shop was a long way down and how does he expect her to be quick as a flash?Never had she walked that

A gasp escape her lips as she realizes she was naked and on top of the man she despises! Her weight on his made him fall to the ground.It was a close corner and quite an isolated place and so passerbys could barely be seen. His arms mistakenly went round her waist and she widened her eyes at him.Fortunately for her, Alex had his eyes closed and she quickly stood up and tied back her towel before anyone sees her nudity.She felt so embarrassed that she hurried back to her room not minding if Alex was still on the ground.He felt she had left him and jerked up immediately with an astonished look. Oh no, he just felt a naked woman on him and it made him feel awkward.Alex was glue to where he sat, still outside her door, that he didn't realize a lady booting him on the thigh to get up because he was in a path way.His eyes rolled at who it could be, it was a middle aged woman who desired to get into Natalie's house also."Young man, did she ditch you again?" The old woman asked bluntly

Natalie sucked her breath and wrapped her arms around him. Certainly, she felt she needed an embrace too.Back there, she thought she would be dead by now, if Alex had found out that she still had it.However, that slap her aunt got, somewhat saved the day as it made her boss cause a commotion, and the men he sent to check the rooftop failed.She could feel his tears sinking through her shirt. It made her really sad, and she couldn't help but stroke him gently, on the shoulder.Most times, everyone needed someone they could relate to, and also understands them. Over here, Alex had them all.***She mused to and fro, wondering why her fiance wasn't home yet. It has got people talking if a wedding would ever hold.Sophia just couldn't afford to get a heartbreak. Well, she was aware he needed to recover from the shot he received days back but then, their wedding was important!While in her wonder, she met lucy cartwalking towards her with that annoying pet of hers.Sophia scoffed at her,

The creeping sound of feet hasten towards where a chest laid. Its hands unbuckled the lock and quickly sprang it open."What a relief"A minute after those words were uttered, a loud bang was heard and stomping feet's became louder "Where's Natalie?" A voice rang through her ears, filling the room with anger, which emitted with desire to kill and truly, this being was going to rip her off if she desires has the item with her.The latter in question was at the rooftop, thinking of a possible way to come out. But that wouldn't work because she had to climb down and might end up meeting them.Her hands were still on the chest, and she didn't want it to be handed over to the wrong hands; because she couldn't afford losing all what she worked hard for."What do I do?" Natalie mused and then shuddered as she perceived that they were scattering her house for the item.Her body was stiff to where she sat attempting not to alert them if she makes a sound.Perhaps, Rodger was already suspecting

AT RODGER'S HOUSEHe could be seen preparing to head out, when his phone rang. It was his mother calling to ask how far he has gone, in the search for the item."I have sent a spy over her house, but it seems someone else had attacked her" he reported taking his wristwatch from his bed, which he intended to put on."Did you question her if she has it?""Even if she does, do you think she would open up to us? Even she knows what that single button could perform"The old lady contemplated over what he said, but then suggested that her stepson must have duplicated the item and hid it somewhere just to fool them.Mrs Anna mused on the phone and told him to pay a visit to his stepbrother just to confirm her presumptions."Why mother? I don't want to have mutual relationship with...""Shut up fool!" Her voice muffled on the phone as she narrated to him that it was best to keep the enemy close.Rodger scoffed and told her they were after the item and all that belongs to him not to build up a
