"Who are you people?" Alex asked as the car zoomed off. "If you want to get to where we are taking you to safe and sound we suggest that you keep shut and not ask us any questions." One of the men, who seemed to be their leader spoke out. "I can't just..." Before Alex could complete his sentence, two of the men seated in the back with him pounced on him, hitting his head and almost breaking his hand. The screams of Alex were like music to the men's ears and it only made them do more. "Enough!" Their boss said after a while."I'm not sure he has had enough boss. I say we give him some more slaps." One of the men said "And I said that's enough! The next time you try to question my orders again, I promise you I will feed you to the dogs. Now get your filthy hands off him." The man ordered and his men went back to seating. The boss walked up to Alex and leaned to see his face that was only suspending from his neck. "I can see that you have decided to stop asking me foolish question
"Natalie," he whispers to himself. Not totally sure if that is her or another person. But if it were her, what would she be doing in such a lonely road all by herself. "Oh my God Alex," she said and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw him. She ran to his side, desperate to be hugged by a familiar face. "What's going on? What are you doing out here all by yourself?" Alex asks. "Well, I ordered this Uber to drive me to school. Inside the car, I kept complaining that I am extremely late for school and the man then offered to use another route because he said that it was a very good shortcut and it always got him to school faster than possible. Since I was very late, I told him okay and we started the journey. Only for his car to stop working halfway and as he was trying to fix it, some armed men came out. I ran for my life and I don't even know what happened to him." Something about her story just did not sit well what the Alex. He did not know why but a huge part of him still belie
Alex did not spend so much time at the office. He had already told Damien that he was needed in school and would have to meet up with all he had lost over time. He was all up for whatever he wanted to do to promote the company but he also wanted to focus on his education. He knew that his grandfather would have wanted that for him. "Is everything okay with you?" Damien asked as soon as he stepped in. "Were you able to get the information I wanted?" He asked, going straight to the point. "Not yet but I believe that with time I will get them. Probably before the end of the day.""Okay, please get them ready. I need to have those documents because I do have a lot to clarify. What about Stiles?" He asked "I sent some police men over to his place. He should be in hand cuffs by now." "Very good. I don't want to hear that he was released for any reasons at all.""The evidence are pretty strong so I don't think he will be released." "Very good." He said and leaned back on his chair. "C
"You know what?" Alex said and puts his hand over her shoulder. "Babe I did not even notice that it was you." Alex said softly to the girl. "Oh that's a relief. For a while there I thought if your memory had been wiped clean." The girl said chuckling"That would have just been terrible, right?" "Will you get your disgusting hands off her?" The boy said in anger as he tried to push Alex hand off the girl's shoulder but Alex had a tight grip and he wasn't letting go. "This is nothing but madness, Camille. Are you trying to tell me that you are actually dating this riff raff?" "Hey you watch your tone. My man is not a riff Raff..he is twice the man you will ever be and I will not allow you to insult him anymore." Camille said. "Oh I will insult him all I want because this is madness. You are wicked young woman. Cruel even. You know very well that your father designed you for me. You know that my family has invested so much in yours and the price was that you will have to get married
"Sir, I believe that we can actually get through to this is we..." A voice rang from the phone."How many times do I have to repeat myself? I said that I don't care how you do it but just get it done. Am I dealing with a bunch of riff raffs? Why can't one of you just understand what I am trying to say and do what I said you should do without troubling me this way?" Mr. Adams screamed over the phone and immediately ended the call. As soon as he did, his phone rang again and he picked it up angrily. "What?" He screamed. "Good afternoon sir. This is Lily," a tiny voice said. Lily was his assistant, the only one that he refused to yell at because she sounded so much like his own daughter but he was not in a good mood. His contractors were calling him asking for money before they could do anything getting him the structure that he wanted. At that point, he was sick and tired of it already and all he wanted was to have some peace of mind. Because of Alex, he could not get the money that
"Dad!" Bobby said as he came running into the room. He heard the sound of a glass cup shattering and knew that the old man was drinking again. The little incident with Alex had ruined his life and he was slowly becoming a shadow of himself. "Dad, what's wrong?" The boy said as he approached his father. The man stood heavily on the ground, heaving in anger. Bobby had seen him like that several times. It was his rage that drove his mother out of the house and yet, his father never wanted to attend any anger management class. According to him, nothing was wrong with him and the people that really needed help were the ones that kept getting on his nerves."Dad, what's wrong?" He asked again when he got no response from him "You see that little twit that parades himself like a boss around town, influencing the decision of every business owner in this state?" He then turned and looked at him. "I want him dead." He said staring at his son."Dad, what happened?" Bobby knew that his father w
"What the fuck happened?" He exclaimed, not understanding what he was staring at. "The news got to me few moments ago. I wanted to go check out the site but I wanted you to come with me.""What caused this Damien? Or should I be asking, who caused this?" Alex wasn't naive. He knew that just a few weeks he was in the industry, he has caused troubles for a lot of people and had created enemies for himself but at that point, he did not care anymore. he came in to see that the system was rigged and he was not going to allow it to continue like that. He was going to ensure that he did everything in his power to correct what had to be corrected. It was the only way his company would grow well without any obstacles as it's doing now."We don't know if it was a person that did it but reports have it that a natural disasters happened in that location." "That can't be possible. You and I know very well that we checked all of these things. Before we even got that place, we had to ensure that i
Alex stares at the warehouse, dumbfounded about what could really be happening. He was startled back to reality by a soft touch on his back. "Everything is gone?" He heard Damien voice behind him. "Now do you believe that someone did this?" Alex asks him and walks away, back to his car. He sits in the car waiting for Damien and watches as Damien tries to explain what he does not understand to the media. He could feel his blood boiling. Millions of dollars were wasted and the one that caused it was properly in their palour, sipping on a good cocktail and having a blast. "Is there any cause to worry?" He asked Damien as soon as the man got back to the car "Nope. None at all. They just asked the normal obvious questions and I gave them the normal obvious answers.""Good. Driver, let's go to the office." Alex said and sat back to think and collect his thoughts. As soon as he enters the company, he moves straight to his office and pours brandy to two glasses. He passes one down to Da
