"Mr Alves is very busy, he doesn't have the time for things like this. If you have any other reasons for visiting, say it. But if you are here for a motive that is not well spelt out, I'm sorry I'll be forced to show you the way out of this office."Manuel had stopped working and was staring sternly at Madam Casper and Laura. The two women were seated before him, staring as though they would make holes in his face. "Manuel..."Mrs Casper started. "Mom..."Laura wanted to caution her but she glared at Laura. Laura, knowing what was best of her, kept shut. She knew when to push her luck. It wasn't that moment. Manuel was really stunned when Madam called his name. Dropping honorific out of the blue. It was quite obvious that Manuel wasn't expecting anything close to that. He was still struggling to adjust to the sudden change when Madam continued immediately, "Why did you change all of a sudden? Have you forgotten so easily how we have been? You've forgotten what we have shared? Why
"That bastard!"Madam Casper flung her bag into one of the couches and began to walk from one corner to the other. "That jinx!"She didn't for once stop pacing. As she walked from one end, she walked to the other. Her eyes were red and her face fledged in fury. She was very furious. Laura couldn't do anything but dance on the same spot in an attempt to calm her mother down. Even without uttering a word. "I'll make him pay with his life."She didn't stop yet. Madam didn't stop the wild walk yet. "I'll make him beg for his life. I'll skin him and brush his lips against the wall, until they fell and he finds no mouth to talk again in his entire pitiful life."She halted all of a sudden. It was as though an idea had just hit her. It was quite hard to tell what was going on in her mind, even though her words and facial expressions said a million things. "All I have to do is get my hand on that Mr Jared. As soon as I do....that's just all I need. Oh... when I do that."It was obvious t
Alves was in the middle of the Huthi Farmland. He had a lot going on in his mind. There were so many things to think about. He had asked to be left alone all by himself. He didn't have anything to worry about. Especially not wild animals. The Huthi Farmland used to be a national treasure. No wild animal was recorded to live in it. He was safe. He looked from one corner to the other. There was a precise question that kept repeating in his mind. A question which he didn't have quite an answer to yet. WHY DID I BUY THIS FARM?He knew and realised that that wasn't the question he should be asking. There were a million things to think about and that was the last thing on his mind. Knowing fully well that he couldn't give an answer to that question, and that he was reluctant to keep the question alive, he turned. His back was to the opening path which led into the forest. "He said her pendant might have something to do with this land?"He thought out loud. Few steps ahead of him were t
A fight had broken out between the henchmen of Alves and the two lanky bodyguards of Mia. The both parties had fought over the location of interests. While the henchmen of Alves had argued that since the ugly incident happened to both Alves and Mia, the both of them should be taken to a private hospital owned by a conglomerate who has a contract deal with AUSTRIX group. But the bodyguards of Mia had refused point blank. The two lanky bodyguards had argued that their boss would never be taken to an unkown place. They had argued and fought for her to be taken to her place and call her doctor. At the end of the day, Villian had arrived and had suggested that both Alves and Mia should be taken to the MANGRID tower. Since the bodyguards of Mia had never being to that Trillionaire tower that everyone would kill to visit, they snapped at the chance at once. They also knew that their boss wouldn't be mad at them if she found out when she wakes up. And even if she got mad at them, it would
For a couple seconds, Alves just stood there staring. He couldn't had thought about this even if he was left alone the whole night. GARETH? WHAT IS HE DOING HERE?Those were the questions he could ask himself.Since he woke up couple minutes ago, he had done absolutely nothing but ask himself several questions over and over again. Questions which he had no answers to. Gareth also was staring at him, but it wasn't in disbelief. Because in the blink of an eye, Gareth had looked away from him to Mia who was equally stunned. "I heard you collapsed. Are you fine? I was worried. I haven't been myself since I heard the news. Are you alright?"Gareth said with so much emotions, as he tried to walk even closer to Mia, but Villian was standing in his way. Mia's bodyguards quickly took the position of Villian in protecting their boss. "Who is he?"Mia looked from Gareth to one of her bodyguards. "He's the guy. The last child of the Casper family."Alves watched the reaction of Mia change af
"For how long would he have to stay. It's been almost a week."Michael, who was also known as Matthew asked. He was staring keenly at the doctor who obviously had the answer to his question. "He is fine now, Mr Matthew.""Michael is a preferable name."Michael corrected the doctor, even though that wasn't so necessary. "Yes, Mr Michael. Your brother is fine. He can go home with you today."A ray of light swept across Michael's face at that news. A ray of hope. He was quite happy to have been told that by the doctor and he didn't hide it,"Thank you very much. I have cleared out the bills. Thanks for your expertise."Michael reached out his hands to change the doctor. The doctor took his hand. Michael shook the hand so roughly that the doctor struggled to pull away. He was about to leave when the doctor called,"This might seem off the topic. But I have been curious. I hope you don't take this wrongly."As soon as the doctor came to a pause, Michael's eyes squinted in curiosity. If h
"If you don't think I'm going out of line, Mia."One of her bodyguards raised a question. Mia was settled down in a couch. She was taking a luxury position. "What's that?"She looked up at him."Do you like him or are you just leading him on?"The man asked. Immediately the man asked the question, he dropped his gaze as though he didn't mean to ask the question in the first place. "Him who?"Mia had looked away from him. He pushed his head back up. "I mean the youngest of the Casper family."The bodyguard stressed. Mia took a deep breath. The deep breath was enough to raise concerns of the guard. "Since when did we talk about my personal life?"She scolded. "I'm sorry. Pretend I didn't ask. I'll just leave now."He turned to leave. "What if I don't want to pretend?"She held unto the argument. The man had no choice but to turn back to her. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ---""What do you think of him?"Mia cut the man short. "Huh..."It was as though he was caught off guard. As
Mia drove into and towards the space of the MANGRID tower. As soon as the call pulled over, and she reached out to get the door of the Maybach, she saw Villian walking towards her. For a moment, she hesitated to step out after getting the door. Even if she wanted to, Villian had caught up with her. "Come with me, I'll take you to where he is."Villian said as soon as he got to her. Mia stepped out of the car eventually. Her bodyguard stepped out too. As soon as Villian led the way, the bodyguard followed Mia. All of a sudden, Villian stopped walking and turned. "He can't come with us. My boss made sure to stress that he wants to speak with you alone."Villian stressed. "This is bullshit, Mia. How can he wants to see you alone late at this night? And he's not even leading you inside the apartment, he is taking you through the corner towards where I don't know. And you don't want me to come? You really think I will ---""That's enough."Mia cut her bodyguard short. The fellow didn'
