"What exactly is going on here?" The owner asked as he walked towards them. "Manager, are you shouting at customers in the middle of my restaurant? Where other customers can see you? Have you lost your mind completely?!" He said enraged. "Sir," the manager begun to stutter. "Sir, it's not like I have lost my mind. I was just trying to explain to this man that we don't actually attend to people like that in our company. I was just trying to tell him that we are not going to attend to him and that he should leave." "And why won't you attend to him?" The owner asked."Sir?" The manager replied."Have you gone deaf? I asked why won't you attend to him? Did he say that he will not pay?" "Ah, sir. He did not have to say that he won't pay. It's already obvious that he won't pay. As a matter of fact sir, it is obvious that he cannot pay." "And what makes it obvious?" "Sir, come on. Look at the way he is dressed. I am sure he is a hooligan or some sort of criminal that just broke out fro
"No sir, I don't believe we have met before." Alex said and feared for the worse. He couldn't have remembered meeting the man but he did know that he had met a lot of people since he acquired his wealth and he prayed that this man was not one of them."No, that can't be right. I am sure that I have seen your face somewhere before." "Well till you can remember where we met, I am afraid we will be taking our leave now." "Oh no, I can't allow you to do that." The owner said."And why is that?" Alex asked."Well you came here to eat and I need to ensure that you actually eat. So you wait right there and I am going to get another waiter to serve you." "Wait," Alex said and turned to Natalie."Do you still want to eat here?" He asked her calmly. "Well I am hungry and it will take a while before we can get to the next restaurant. Plus, the food here promises to be great so I say we just eat here at once." "Alright then. If that is what you want then we will eat here." "Fantastic. I wil
Natalie sees David walking back to their table and begins to freak out. Her sweat pores open up and she can feel the banging sensation on her head. "What are we going to do? After making such a big scene about being able to afford this place and now we will not be able to pay? My goodness, it is going to be so embarrassing." Natalie complains bitterly. Her heart began pounding fast and she knew that Alex would never agree to go out with her again. She had successfully ruined the one good thing she had because of her foolishness. "Okay, Natalie calm down. You look like you are about to have a heart attack." Alex told her but the young girl paid no mind to him."I must have forgotten it in such a haste because we were rushing to leave the house. If I had just checked, we won't have to be in this problem." She continued ranting, oblivious to the fact that Alex sat calmly, not bothered by it at all. "Hello ma, I am back with our machine and the total cost of your food is $25,000." "2
"What?" Bobby asked surprised. "Yes. Exactly. Alex is the one that paid for the dinner. He is much of a man than you will ever be so if I were you, I would just walk away and stop trying to get people to believe your ridiculous lies." Natalie said happily. Finally excited that she could shut Bobby up. Bobby looked from Natalie to Alex and suddenly, he bursted out in laughter. "What's so funny?" Natalie asked angrily and Alex stood quietly, watching him become dramatic. "I said what's so funny?" Natalie asked again with so much anger. "I just can't believe that you believe his lies. I mean, I know you can be gullible but babe, come on now. Do you how expensive things in this restaurant actually are? This boy here cannot even afford a bottle of water talk less of an entire meal." Bobby said. "Call him boy one more time and you will have me to contend with," Natalie said angrily taking slow meanacing steps towards him. "Oh be serious darling. You know you can't do anything to hurt
He almost stood up in anger when he saw the man entering by himself. He did not understand what was happening but he knew very well that he did not like it one bit. He was supposed to come in with Alex. After all, that was what he was paid for. So why was he coming in by himself. He waited patiently till the man located him. He had on a face mask, restricting anyone from seeing his full face. But he sat in front of Professor Stiles and he knew that he was the one he sent on a job. "What are we doing here by ourselves? You were supposed to get me what I wanted. So where is he? Why are we here?" Professor Stiles asked all his questions at once. "You will have to keep your voice down before you allow someone to catch us." "Do I look like I actually care if anyone hears us? I paid you for a bloody job and you are just sitting there without saying a single thing. What the actual hell is going on?" "Well if you must know, the plan was not successful." "What?!" He almost yelled."Well
"Okay what happened?" Emily asked as she returned with a drink. The red haired took the glass and drained every drop that was in the glass."Well I was working at the bar today and I overheard two men talking. I couldn't really tell what they were talking about because they were talking in hushed tones so I walked a bit closer to them and that was when I heard everything. They were planning to kidnap this guy and then the assassin failed at it and his employer was shouting at him.""Oh my God." Emily gasped. "Yes, that was when the tray I was holding fell from my hand and they could notice my presence. I told them I was just trying to serve drinks and that I was a bit clumsy and that was why the drink fell from my hand. I left there immediately and started heading home but I know they came after me because I saw them outside as I was running back home and it seemed like they were looking for me." She finally talking and Emily could see that she was shaking. "Oh no. What the hell ha
Aurora woke up with a smile on her face and the aroma of fresh coffee brewing in the kitchen. Her best friend, Emily Sanders was a chef who unfortunately, was not well known for her talent. But Aurora was confident that one day, all that would change. Whistling out of happiness, she stood up from the bed and moved towards the kitchen. "Good morning," she greeted with a cheerful glee. "Good morning. How are you doing?" Emily responded. "Very good and you?" She responded happily and pour herself a glass of water. "Why are you so happy?" She asked. "I am not so happy. I am just normal. I mean it's a bright and beautiful morning..." "And you need to go to work because today is pay day and we could really use the money around here." "That's true. I will go get ready." "Wait," Emily said and stood in front of her. "I hope you are not thinking of going to meet Alexander today.""What?" Aurora said and laughed. "I wouldn't do such a thing. Listen, I already understand that the proces
Alex couldn't have asked for a better assistant. His office looked so organized and arranged. He knew it could only be as a result of her hard work. He walked towards his coffee brown table and saw that the documents were arranged neatly on the table. Dropping his phone on the glass table, he pulled back the seat and got to work on the documents in front of him. Close to when he was to be done, he felt a presence in the room. "How may I help you?" He said, knowing that only one person could come into his office without knocking or announcing himself."The partners are here to see you. They are ready for the meeting now." Damien said. "Tell them to give me a few minutes, I will be down soon.""Okay, we will be waiting in the conference room." He said and walked out. ***The conference from has a see through glass wall and once the partners spotted Alex walking towards the room with his assistant behind him, they all stood up to welcome him. "Good morning sir," the man that stood c
Alex's blood ran cold as he stared at the message in front of him. He could not believe that Nancy could actually be the one behind everything. Immediately, he found a way to jiggle out of his woman embrace and went to the kitchen to make a call. As soon as he entered, he saw his men watching a football game and he immediately told them to lowered the volume of it. "What's going on?" Hayden asked as he lowered the volume of the game. "I need to make a call." "No, what you need to do is to cuddle Ivy while she sleeps " Dustin said, standing up an walking towards him. "She is already fast asleep. Trust me. This is equally as important." He said as he placed a call to the commissioner. "Commissioner, talk to me, what is actually going on?" Alex asked. "Exactly what I sent to you." He said. "Who did this test?" "Trust me sir. We are not lukewarm and incompetent over here. I had that test done by people who actually know what they are doing and for it to come out this way, it mean
Alex's sat down. He knew that whatever he was about to say would have to be received while sitting. He feared for the very worst and hoped that the young man would not be saying anything that would lead to him being more Disturbed than he already was. "Damien, what is it?" He asked. "Before I answer that question I need to ask. Have you guys gotten Ivy? Is she okay?" He asked again. "Well yes. She is. We have gotten a hold of her and she is currently in the hospital receiving some treatments. Damien, what the hell is going on?" He asked. "Well, first, you will need to find a way to calm down. But after you guys left, I called Cole and I had him do some digging around about the letter." "Okay and what is going on with the letter?" He asked. "Well, we found out some very striking things that I think needs to be addressed. He took samples and he was quick to run them by an illegal lab that he knows so that we could get immediate results. We did and you would never believe who is be
"Doctor, what is it?" Alex asked, not sure if he really wanted to know the answer to that question. He struggled within himself but he knew that he had to know exactly what was going on and he could not run from the truth forever. "Well, Mr. Albert, nothing is wrong with her. She just has some broken ribs that we will need to correct because if we don't, it could lead to something more drastic." "Okay then fine. Go ahead and correct it," Alex said as he heaved a sigh of relief. "Why then was your face like that? You had me worried you know." "Well my face has to be like this because most of her bones have been broken and even though we have not done am x-ray scan on her yet, we are positive that this may just be across her entire body. And you know how long it takes for bone to heal." Alex understood. Ivy would have to go through another set of pains. "doctor, as long as it is something that can be fixed and you know how to fix it, I will say that you do not bother yourself and ju
Alex could not believe what he was actually seeing. His woman was finally free. He saw a man carrying her out from the building and he brought her to the truck. Immediately they had gotten inside, Alex was the first to run to her and he immediately wrapped her in his arms. "Ivy," he said as he released as breath of air. Finally he could breath as he saw his woman and he was assured that she was safe. She felt too cold to touch and Alex could only imagine all the things she had to go through while she was in the arms of those men and ladies. He could only wish that none of those men had so much as touched her because if they did, he was not going to hesitate to actually drive a stake through their hearts. "Alex," she said softly as she almost collapsed into his arms. She took in the warmth of his presence and held as tightly as she could to not lose the sanity that his presence brought to her. "I'm so sorry," he said as he held her. "I am so sorry that I allowed this to happen to
The drive there was a fast one. Alex did not care about traffic. All he wanted was to get to the warehouse on time and ensure that Ivy was okay. "You can slow down now, we are almost there." Andres said but still, Alex did not bother to listen. He kept going at high speed wanting nothing more than to reach Ivy without the blink of an eye. Suddenly, he turned into an abandoned road filled with potholes. "Okay you really need to slow down now. You can't be driving at such speed on a road like this you know. You are going to wreck this car." "Oh calm down already. Nothing will happen to the car," Alex said ignoring him as he kept driving. Soon he reached a lonely path. "We should walk on our feet here." Andres suggested "Why? The road is wide enough to be driven on." "Yes it is but with the way you are going, you will definitely get all of us killed. We need to be subtle and if you haven't noticed, you are driving at an enormous speed right now. So the best option is for us to wa
The time on the wall read 7:15pm and Alex looked out to see that it was dark. Alex could not rest, he kept pacing around and Andres did not bother to tell him to rest. He understood what the man was going through. Anxiety, worry, panic. It was to be expected. After all, the love of his life was stuck in a bad place and he had to do nothing else but sit and worry all day. He could not even go to help her. "Are you sure that we should not go to her? I mean come on now. How sure are you that those your guys will be able to handle this all by themselves? What if they mess everything up? You know that I will hold you responsible if anything should happen right?" Alex finally said after a long time of keeping mute. "Yes I know that I will be held responsible and I will take full responsibility if it gets to that but right now sir, the best thing that we can do is allow these men to do their job. I can assure you they are well trained and they know what they are doing. They won't mess it
Alex knocked on his door and Dustin opened to see a very distressed looking man. "What happened?" He asked as Alex walked into the house, followed by Andres. "Those bitches called again." Alex answered as he went into his kitchen to get himself a cup of water. "And what did they say?" He asked. "Well they did not say anything good other than the fact that this is going out of hand and that they know my family is in town." Hayden laughed as he heard Alex finish talking and the man did not get what was so funny. "Okay what are you laughing at right now?" He asked. "Well that is not the truth right. You don't have a family so you obviously fooled them." He said still laughing but stopped along the way as realized that Alex was not laughing with him. "What is it?" He asked again. "It's not funny because I do have a family. " *What?" Hayden excalimed. "How come you have a family and yet I have never heard of this family before. What the hell is that?" He asked in outrage but Alex
"Why are you doing this?" Ivy asked as she ate the food in a haste. She did not even know that she was hungry. She imagined she must have gone for close to two days without food nor water. Her energy was drained and the only thing she was working on was the adrenaline to get out of whatever mess she had found herself in alive. "Well what can I say? I took pity on you and I knew that Davina had not given you something to eat or drink. I feel like it's very cruel. I mean after all, we are not after you. You are not the bad guy here, you just happened to be a little bit stuck in between a cross fire." "Is that how you want to describe it?!" Ivy asked as she finished her meal."What other way is there to actually describe something like this?" She asked. "Well you guys would have just served your time and gotten out of prison as free women. What do you think is going to happen if Alex does not decide to go through with your plan." "Are you serious?" Rebecca said as she turned to look
Rebecca heaved a sigh as she watched her being dragged out of the room. She would have never believed that she would have to do something like that to the girl but the truth was that she was slowly losing her mind and what she did would benefit both of them. She knew very well that Alex was not the kind of man for them to double cross and if she tried to hurt Ivy or worse, if she actually went through with killing the girl. Alex would go to great heights to ensure that we are locked up in a place that the sun never shines. Rebecca did not know much about her but she could tell that she wanted to live her life and not be subjected to having to hide. To achieve that, then she would have to not allow her to do what she planned on doing. "I can't actually believe this girl," she muttered under her breath as she massaged her head. She was stressed out and wished that she will just hear the good news already so that she could Ivy free and also walk away as a free woman. She craved to go
