Alex sat comfortably on his plush couch, he was engrossed with what he was watching on his phone. He would laugh at a few posts, and likewise frown at a few others. While he was scrolling through his phone, John walked up to him."Young master," He called, drawing Alex's attention to himself. He's been wanting to have this conversation, but he didn't want to seem too pushy over things so he gave it a second thought, deciding to have the earlier incident discussed. Alex paused the video he was watching, averting his gaze at John who was standing before him. "Yes?" He answered, then asked almost immediately. "Is there a problem?"John took a seat opposite Alex, leaning forward slightly. "Not really. I... I was only curious about your safety, that's all."Alex let out a faint smile on his lips as he acknowledged John's words. "I'm really grateful for your concern, John."John nodded his head. "But, I can't seem to wonder who it is that desperately wants you dead." He pointed. "I know I s

"Did you just say the assassination failed?" Dominic squinted his brows as he looked at Jeremiah, anger written on his face."Yes, Young Master," Jeremiah answered slowly as he could see that Dominic's expression was not good and could tell that the latter was slowly losing it."Tell me, how were you able to fail?" Dominic asked, his voice cold and chilly."Young Master, please don't be offended, but Alex already had the information that we'll be sending assassins over from whoever knows and was already prepared for the attack which was why it fell through."Jeremiah tried to explain that Dominic wouldn't lose his cool."I don't care!" Dominic suddenly yelled as he flew into a rage."Tell me, how weren't you able to carry out that simple thing, you were not doing anything much, all you had to do was to send skilled assassins who could eliminate him and yet you sent subpar ones. Do you even have a reason?" "Sir...""Shut the hell up!" Dominic roared as he hit the table feeling even mor

Still feeling the agonizing pain from his injury Alex dragged himself to the bathroom, he had this urge to get rid of the pain as fast as he could as it was feeling agonizing already, he opened the drawer and after a while got exactly what he had been looking for He stared at the almost empty bottle that had the inscription “Aspirin” on it, as luck would have it, there were two pills left.Alex walked out after swallowing.“Where In the hell is John? It has been over an hour already."From how rotten the injury was starting to look, it was starting to look like it was infected, the fact remained that he would do anything to get rid of the sickling feeling it was starting to give him.He took out his phone and dialed John but again it wasn't picked.“Pick up your fucking phone, damn!"He threw the phone again on the bed feeling irritated.The pain persisted and he took a seat to stop it from aggravating. The idea of not moving seemed like a very good idea as the pain starts to recede.

Alex was finally back to his feet. Even as John tried to convince him to stay an extra day off, he refused to take a break. He felt doing so would make Dominic see him as a loser. However, all thanks to Tesla who was there for him when he needed her the most. Her presence spoke a lot to him, her care was a balm to his wound. She was just a friend to him, but yesterday, she stood more than a friend, and that was just enough for him.John drove Alex to the office, he wanted to be sure of his safety. He had tried his best to change Alex's mind towards working for the day, but Alex wouldn't listen to him.On reaching the office, Alex didn't wait for him to open the door, he stepped out, adjusting his tie and suit jacket before making his way into the building."Ask Mia to order my favorite coffee, I need something hot this morning." He told John as they stepped out of the elevator.John took a different direction as he headed for Mia's office. Mia on the other hand, was with a friend of

"Young Master, what did Dominic say to you?" John asked as he walked into the office."Hehehehe." Alex chuckled as he turned around to look at John."Young Master, what's wrong, why are you laughing?" John frowned."Everything is fine." Alex smiled as he looked at John."But I think my previous plan won't work, we'll have to attack." Alex continued as he walked back to his chair."Why?" John asked, looking confused at his sudden change of mind."That's because the main character has decided to continue to be the main character and won't stop attacking the villain." Alex burst out into a cackle as he said..."I don't understand, young master?" John frowned, looking confused."Well, Dominic came and simply told me he was the one who attacked me and was going to continue with his attack until I met Hades," Alex replied."Huh?"John froze hearing Alex's words as he couldn't believe his ears. What the hell was that idiot thinking? He had the guts to say that to the young master's face.Was
