"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

    "Dustin what is it?" Alex answers his call with a raspy voice. "Hey man, calm down. What's with the attitude? What happened?" He asks. "Okay, I'm sorry. I'm just having a shitty day as if is." "I was meaning to ask you where you ran off to. I mean, we turned around and you were no where to be found. After you left the class, we figured that maybe you just wanted to get some fresh air or you wanted to use the restroom. What happened along the way because we couldn't find you anymore?" "I had some emergencies to take care of." He gave them a short response, not willing to disclose everything just yet. "Oh come on now Alex. This is exactly what the problem is!" Dustin exclaimed "What are you talking about?" He asked. "How can you say that to me? I am your friend and of late, it feels like I don't even know you. I mean what exactly is going on? What sort of emergency are you referring to?""I think you need to calm down. Honestly, it's nothing serious. It's just that I have a whole

    "I don't need a personal bodyguard Damien," Alex argued. He knew what having a personal bodyguard entails. He would be forced to constantly work around with the guy and the was no way he was going to do that without people suspecting him for being more than just a lottery ticket winner."How can you can say that? Do you not understand the things happening in your life. You are being attacked from all angles. I will not just sit back and do nothing when I know for a fact that this is not normal. It's not normal Alex. We need to ensure that you are properly armed before something that I cannot comprehend happens to you. Your grandfather will be so upset with me if anything should happen to you." "Damien, I don't care. We are not getting a personal bodyguard for me and that is final." He said and ended the call. "We are here sir," his driver said as he pulled up into the driveway of a club that Alex could not recongize. he was not the type that loved going out but still, he knew some o

    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 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
