.Grey pov I had not expected that I could even have a short slumber at all after all the information that I got last evening, but I still managed to take a short nap. I woke up at five in the morning . I could not sleep any more . I did not go into my gym room as it is usually supposed to be . I was still devastated from the news of Richard dying . I decided to take a woke around the mansion . Seriously since Fargon died, I have not gone around the whole of the house since I am always occupied with one thing or another . I therefore decided to take a short walk around . All the guards were at there points . Each of them murmured me a greeting and I made sure that I replied each one of them until something too my attention . There were two people talking at the extreme side of the gate . It was the same spot that my ‘dear ‘ wife was arguing with some one on the other day of the party. This attracted my attention and I knew I had to go there . I think it was high time to se
.Grey pov I was so eager to get to work hoping that I could find my personal assistant Noreen . I knew that she was the only person who was going to help me out with what I was going through . I swear things seemed to be disturbing me out . The moment I got to the office , I dialed on her number and in just a few minutes she was right there . I paced around my office as she entered the office . “yes boss, I am here boss.” She said in her usual calm yet composed tone of voice . I looked at her wondering how she was able to be that calm even in the situations where myself was not okay at all ..This girl is not just a common one I can say . “Noreen , I am so happy that you are here .” I said feeling so desperate . I could not believe the fact that she was able calm me down and she had even become my confidant . . She was some one that I had just known and yet I did not mind telling her everything that was disturbing me . Life is really funny that you can trust some one that you
.GREY POVI thought about what I was going to do and knew it was what was right for this time . “She sir,” she said in her usual calm voice. I juts admired how calm she was all the time without having to back out when there seemed to be something that was puzzling her .“Yes boss, here I am .” she said . She went on to emphasize as though was not sure that I ad heard what she had just said.I looked up at her for some time trying to think about what was the best way that I was going to say what I wanted to tell her . I opened my mouth the first time but there was not a single word that I was able to say . I swear I could not tell how I was able to get this timid before someone who was just my personal assistant . This was just a force that was far beyond my own control . I could not control it all.“Boss , do you have anything that is disturbing you ? You know very well that I am here for you at all the time when you happen to have some problems.” I could not believe how she is
. Grey(Ben) POVThat was the piece of news that I needed during a time like this. It was going to really rebrand me and make me much richer. This means that fighting all those who happen to be against me is going to get much easier than how it has been in the past.The excitement was nearly killing me and so I had to at least share it. I called through for my personal assistant who arrived in just a blink of an eye. “Yes, boss, you just called for me.” she said her usual calm composure that always make her peculiar in all that she does.“Yes, Noreen. It is true that I indeed called for you and that us why you are here.” Even at this point it seemed to be hard for me to the the wide smile that was forming on my face continuously without stopping. “Boss, you seem to be having something that is so happy that has happened to you.” she said seeming happy That she had seen me happy.“Yes, I have got a call that has made me so happy. Can you believe that I am getting much richer in just a
.Grey pov Just seeing the body that was right there was not something that a normal person could just take in . It was something that was so rebreathing . My mind once again rushes to all the times when we were happy . The times when I could not tell that such a moment could ever come at all. My dear friend , Richard west just lay there lifeless. The reality that this was indeed true was so muh into me . Why could some one like him just loss his life just like that . This was really not what I wanted the end to be . As if that is not enough , there was a bullet hole right in his heart . “no no .” I cried in pain . This as so disheartening . I could not believe what I was seeing sincerely .How could some one take his life ? Who the hell was this person? What was really behind this ?the questions swirl but the answers were no were to be seen or even heard. I felt like I was drowning in a sea of despair but Noreen’s gentle touch on my and told me that I was never alone in all this
.Grey povDid not believe what was going on in my life at the moment. The thing that was going on between me and my secretary was something that I had not even imagined that I could see at all . With all that realization I knew that what I ad to do was to end it and that way I pulled away from her . I look at Noreen right in the eyes , but s if she as provoking me her yes don’t leave mine . Her gaze is still locked in me with an intensity that makes my heart race . I feel a flush rise ti my cheeks , a mix of excitement, nervousness and then something else that I could not tell what it was . I did not know I it was there to destroy me or to feed me and make me so much strong .I took a deep breath and I could feel that she was also doing the same , there as no doubt that everything between us had changed . I knew that the thing that I was supposed to do at that time was to apologized and promise that that it was not going to happen again but not did I do any of that . Not at all . w
.Grey povI stared at my phone as it went on to ring .If I was to do anything last then it was to pick this damn caller.“hello.” I hesitate but then speak after some time . I felt the heaviest burden just talking to her . I cou;d rather do something else rather than talk to her.“Hey , I have been trying to get to you but all in vain.”“I never expected that you could go to work today .” She went on to bubble . I swear I did not want to listen to anything that she was saying . “You went without even telling me , come on that was not how it was supposed to be .” I reached at a moment and I did not know what to say to her any more. I could not tell whether all this that she was saying was aimed at provoking me or not .“I had to .” that is all I could say .“Ben , I am your partner . You have to involve me in everything that you do . I know you are going through so much at the moment but I want to let you know that I am going to be there for us .” of course if she was talking all th
.Grey povI stared at his black unkempt beard and hair .My eyes then slowly travelled up at his right cheek, there was a very huge scar that was now healing . His left cheek equally had some scars but those could only be seen by some one who was very observant . He slightly smiled showing me a broken tooth at the front.His faded black jeans hanged well around his body . Just looking at him could make any person wonder what the hell he was doing in such a place .His looks did not fit in such a place . He was not meant for this place that was all .“What are you doing here ?” I asked him perhaps the tenth time . Just like he had done the previous times, he did not care at all . The way he acted was as though he owned this place . Instead of saying anything , what he did was just to stand up and moved drastically towards the window . He felt all relaxed just like a boss. After a bout five seconds, he turned back and sat down again . Up to this time , he had not said a single word to m
Noreen POVBut I was not going to let her have any of that . I had to find out who was calling her and it had to be now.“Excuse me, I have to pick this call.” She said as she started to move way but I did not et that happen , I quickly got hold of her phone and in one instant it was no longer in her hands but rather in my hands . “I have to see who is calling , it seems like you are already beginning to go off topic. You know what we have agreed about and that is not happening .” I cursed out as I stared at her phone . it was not not hard to tell who was calling her . It was obvious her husband who actually doubles as my boyfriend.Hahaha, things were really funny and this really Made me laugh.“Give me my phone. I have to answer him.” I however did not give a damn on what she was saying. I quickly ended the call without even giving it any second thoughts and then dashed her phone back to her.“Mariana , don’t tell me that you are beginning to feel otherwise, let us just have to co
.Noreen povI wondered what he had in mind. I wanted so hard to try and see that I could at least get it but it was impossible . I wondered what he wanted to tell me . Any way , I decided to ignore it at the moment and stood up heading back to my office .I had to complete everything I had to do before I went back to a very important meeting that I had later on. I sat in my office but my mind was completely far away. There was no way it could be here . I had no idea that my life could move on this way . Things were moving in the very way that I needed them to move . This was the most happier thing that had happened to me for some time now .When Rob left his office , he did not come back. This was a perfect moment for me to accomplish what I have been planning for quite a long period of time.At 4pm, I got my bag and exited the office. The cab took like forever but it finally came and I got in .I gave the cab driver the location . I was so excited at all this . It had been some
Grey povI was bond to find out whose car it belonged to without fail. I knew he did not have a car . I stealthily went into my car and started following the black BMW. My heart was racing as I wondered what the hell was waiting for me a head.My mind hear very many conflicting royalties as I wondered what the hell I was to do . I had so many things going on in my mind.The cool air of the afternoon whipped through my hair as I drove closely behind the BMW. My senses heightened. As I followed , memories from back in the cafe swept through me . I recalled exactly how Noreen was talking with the mysterious woman . I had tried so much but at the end of it I had not been able to see her right in the face.Maybe that could have helped me to solve this riddle that is going on. I could have been able to get all the answers that I need to solve all that I am going through. What if Noreen was just like all those that have been problematic to me . At this time , I did not now what and whom t
.Grey POVI sat in my car wondering if it was not insane for me to go after there . I could not believe how far I had gone but that was the right thing to do .After having conflicting loyalties with in myself. I decided to once again let my curiosity take me over . It was better to always let you find out the answers to all those questions that you have . I pulled into the café parking lot , my heart was obviously racing as I wondered if what I was doing was the right thing to do .It was now or never, I was now going to confirm if Noreen was up to something. I was tired of not underrating anything that was taking place . I needed to find out everything once and for all.I got out of my car , I scanned the area and headed towards the café , it was one of those popular cafes that is in the middle of the city . it had words at the entrance that were in calligraphy “Busy café.” A busy place where everyone meets and sees .I pushed the door open and stepped into the warm inviting atmos
.Grey PovI practically stormed out of the house. I was feeling so angry . I felt so angry in a way that I did not even know that I could .it appeared like my emotions were suddenly not mine anymore. I rushed towards my parking lot and entered the first car that I found . I felt like my life was taken over by someone else. It happened as though everything that I had going on was now escalating.I recalled all the events that had resulted into this . I could not believe that things could get any more serious like they were now . They were now much more than what I had ever expected them to be . I then started the engine and started the car towards my office. As I drove, my thoughts consumed by the uncertainty . I was still wondering how things had gotten to this point . I could I changed the point at which I wanted them to move . Maybe I should not have married her and decided to have then punished instantly. The traffic however seemed heavier than always . I found myself in a sea o
Grey povWhen I went out of the bathroom, I swear I was not the same at all. I had such terrible misconceptions of everything .I was a walking Zombie back to the bedroom that I did not even hear how Mariana was calling me. “Are you okay?” I was obviously tired with her question all the time. How I wish she even knew that she was root cause of everything that I was going through.I turned back looking at her . She was flashing me one of those innocent faces that she was good at portraying but of course I did not care since I was more able to dig through them all and know what this was about . I opened my mouth ready to say the first word that my mouth could produce after all , there was nothing I came up with. My mouth instead just betrayed me .I turned around and got my laptop heading outside immediately . I did not care how she felt that I had ignored her. I knew very well that she did not feel anything at all. I went straight into my home office . Surely there was so much
.Grey POVI did not say anything to her but just took the ringing of my phone as an excuse to get away from her . She was managing to get my crazy even without me realizing it. So much was getting into me . I stepped out of the hospital building and quickly put the phone on my ear . It was a number that was unknown but I suspected who had called. “Yes.” I said the moment I stepped outside the building . “Have you finished reading the paper?” there was no way I could forget the voice of that mysterious lady. This increased my curiosity and recalled that I still had the piece of paper in my pocket.“No…I meannnn…. yes.” I said stammering .“You are not serious . We labored a lot but you are rather taking us for granted.” She switched off the light. I got puzzled even more. I could not think about any reason that could make them pressure me this way .Perhaps there was something that I was missing . it was actually becoming more like a puzzle that was very difficult to solve . What
.Grey povI stepped through the doorway , and the heavy wooden door creaked shut behind me , enveloping in total darkness. The air inside the place was stale , and the smell of old books and dust filled my nostrils arising my allergies but I managed to contain them. This was not the moment for that .After some time , I managed to adjust my eyes into the darkness getting familiar to everything that was here. I saw his silhouette ahead , his footsteps echoing off the stone walls. “Man?” I said as I had not yet found out the name of my companion .He turned , his eyes gleaming into the faint light . ‘Where are we ?” I asked , my voice barely above a whisper.“This is where you are going to get the information that you are looking for .” I stared around but could not make out anything serious at all. It was like he was leading me into a mystery like those that we have seen in those thriller movies that are always so hard to tell their meaning .I stared at this man and I swear I was
I could not believe what I had just uttered out to her . I swear I did not mean to mention anything like that . It just came at a period when I did not expect it . I was slowly losing everything that I had as sanity . I was now just a useless nincompoop who formerly was the most suitable bachelor in town . Not only that but also one of the richest in town.I turned towards the Bristia who was looking at me keenly.“Now what are you looking at !” I cursed and then stormed out of the café . Outside I stood there looking at this side of the country that is completely dark .I wondered why lights had to go off at this time of the night . I stormed back to the café . My mind raced with questions . What the hell was happening altogether . What exactly had happened to Richard? what if it was true that Richard was not died. “Richard was died for some time and now why was I getting calls now?’’I paced for a moment and then decided to first call Noreen , she needed to get apologies for how I h
