Gavin gave a knowing look at Evans, who stared back at him as though to ask if he might be mad for looking at him that way. There were many things Gavin wanted to say to him, but he held his tongue, not really because he feared losing his job, but really because if he said anything to the man, it would immediately ruin the surprise that was waiting for them in the nearest future.Gavin swallowed his pride, as he had always done, bowed his head again and began opening the door to go get the equipment needed to clean up the office."Where are you going, you ingrate?" Mr. Evans held him back. "Are you so low in culture and class that you are forgetting that you ought to apologize and ask for forgiveness for your insolent behavior.Gavin turned back around, paused and looked at the two of them. Mr. Evans was really indeed pushing him. But he bowed again. "I am sorry, Mr. Brax. I will not do it again." "Be sorry for yourself" Brax said in an insidious manner, rolling his eyes back and fo
Gavin had always had problems with his co-workers. On one hand they were jealous of how hard he worked, seeing him toil day and night doing two jobs. They secretly wanted to be as hardworking as he was, but could not dare tell him to his face, lest they felt he would judge them, or their own sick conscience would judge themselves.On another hand they despised and disrespected him, not only because he was working hard in two jobs that only paid him peanuts, but because he was also considerably lonesome. Gavin never talked to anyone. He was always alone by himself, quiet, hardly making a fuss of anything, and hardly doing anything that would make a fuss out of him.This brought the thought to their heads that perhaps he sincerely believed he was better than them in all ramifications.They would look at his worn out clothes, his cleared old shoes that should be thrown away, and laugh wondering how such a person who could not take care of himself, despite the jobs he worked, could even l
Meghan was already in her parents' house. She felt goosebumps on her body as she laid on the bed. Her mom peeked through the window and saw just how relaxed she was."Now do you not consider yourself free?" her mom said. Her tone was somewhere in the middle of being happy, and being sober. A smile drew itself on her face."Well, I will not. I kind of do." Meghan got up from the bed, and with a few steps away she hugged her mom. "I promise that I will never fall for a man like Gavin again.""Well, I'll take your word for it," Mrs Stallion said."Well, well, well a happy mother and daughter moment that I was not invited to." Sophie's voice floated in the room. Both women looked at her standing at the door."You know it's not like that, Sophie." Mrs Stallion laughed shyly."Well whatever" Sophie whistled. "Dad said he wants the both of you in the living room. You know we just got out of jail and have to sort things out not just in the family front, but as well, in the company front."Th
The Stallions stormed the hospital like there was an emergency going on. Everyone, including Mr. Stallion, who now had a low opinion on James had worried looks on their faces. But none was this most visible than on the faces of Meghan and her sister, Sophie. Both of their loves were in the hospital, and so they were shaking, from their limbs to their hearts.They met the receptionists who directed them at where the two men were kept. Room after room the family looked, and the more they did not see the two men, the more their hearts flew out of their chests.They finally found them in a hospital large enough to fit not only them, but also another man who was with them also, lying down on the bed with bandages covering more than half of his body.James and Harry also had bandages wrapped around their entire body, but quite unlike the other man.The two Stallion daughters did not even wait or break a sweat, they immediately flew off their feets and landed on the bodies of Harry and Jame
The family was in shock at Ron's words. Meghan knew she had seen him somewhere else before, and could even recognize the voice from the phone calls Gavin would have from work. There was always a condescending tone to his words."I am telling you if you don't believe me. He is a real monster. Just because of a little quarrel we had at work, he sent thugs after me and had me beaten up like I was a mere rag doll.""What the hell?" Mr. Stallion roared. "You mean that Gavin is capable of doing all of that.""Yes. And I have the scars to prove it. It's such a good thing."And who are you to him?" Meghan asked, still unsure of the man, wanting for him to confirm his identity by his own self. "Well, I am his direct superior at the City Express," Ron said. Over there I am the Chief Security officer. He is directly below me in rank. He did all of this because of a minor quarrel between the both of us. He wants my job and has been jealous of me over it, ever since he got employed there."The St
"Yes we must get him arrested," the entire family yelled out in unison.Meghan was quiet, despite the bruises she had seen on the men's bodies, she still felt as though she was the person most affected by Gavin and his shenanigans. She wished she would cry for all the mistakes she had made, but there were no tears forthcoming from her eyes. None.She felt the tender but bandaged arms of James' hold her from behind. "Sorry about it. It is going to be okay. We have all made mistakes like these in the past. All of us. You should noh take it too hard on yourself.”She flipped his arms away. "That hurt." He cringed from the pain."You do not get it," she screamed frantically at the top of her voice. "This means that I have wasted years, eating, drinking, kissing, and living with a good-for-nothing man that would not waste time to hurt those I care about just because he can. It breaks my heart everytime I think about it. He made me go against my family. He also made me go against my dreams
After the emissary Evans pronounced the name of the new boss and it was Gavin's, he met a glare in Thomas' eyes. But it quickly disappeared and got replaced by a laughing face."Haha," Mr. Brax laughed. "I noticed that you have also developed a craving to tease the loathsome oaf, but please be serious, Evans. You know this is not a time to joke around, I want to be really clear on who this person is. I know my curiosity seems a bit unwarranted, but I really do mean no harm. It's just how I get when I am anxious. You ought not make jokes of me because of it."But in Brax's view, the man he so expected to be joking, had on his face the same stoic structure he had had ever since he stepped in the place. There was no space for a smile. Not even the ones that he had been having when he and Thomas made jokes."On the contrary, Mr. Brax...I am really not joking. Neither am I trying to tease the young man. The name here is most certainly Gavin. There is not a mistake about it. I can't make t
Brax was afraid. Very afraid. His heart beat slowly, and then faster, and then slowly again. Infact he was not just merely afraid, he was paranoid and frightened. "What the hell is going on?" Brax yelled out into the air. "Why the fuck is Gavin here? This cannot be. What the fuck is going on?""Mr. Brax, relax" Mr Evans, who was handling the situation, even far more than Brax, despite the fact that he was as distressed, and, in his head, was fighting with himself, and the possiblity that he might have just really treated his boss's superior badly because he was wearing nothing but a raggedly uniform."How on earth can I relax, when I just found out that the new boss of my company, is fucking Gavin Roman. The worker that I have always insulted and treated badly? I am having a really bad day, Mr. Evans. If I had known this I would not have signed that deal." At that point, it hit Mr. Brax in his head, a thought so dangerous and wild. "That boy planned this all along."Mr. Evans could o
