Robert sat on a chair in the ward room in the hospital where Hazel was receiving treatment, a blank expression plastered on his face. He smirked and folded his hands together, throwing his head back, his eyes was reddened with anger and he looked at his palm with a very serious expression on his face with only one thing on his mind. “I need to get stronger than my current state, learn faster” he muttered and curled his fingers into fist and he folded it tighter till his knuckles turned white as he remember the person that put her in the condition that she is currently. His eyes moved to the window where the flowers where kept, a fresh new one was kept there replacing the former ones. He had just brought them there recently. He let out a sigh as his mind went back to what happened the previous day. “Hazel, some people attacked me last night and I barely escaped. I guess they were after my life but it was quite surprising though ‘cause I know it came from Antonio but he is not supp
Lucy didn’t pick out her car, she took a cab to Penfolds Industries and she was putting on a dark shade sunglass on her face and a nose mask also. She didn’t want anyone to find out that she is the one at all. She had the thought that what will all those reporters that are sniffing around for story say, which rumors will be spread around in town next. She sighed and got off the cab, what they say is not any of her business, it’s not like Babylon Industries have any restaurant and she can say she want to try out the classic most talked about restaurant in town, but the problem now is she is seeing someone who she must not be caught talking to in public.She stood in front of the huge restaurant and was about to proceed inside when she was approached by a lady who look like she is in her late twenties. She was clad in a black suit a neatly ironed black pencil skirt. “Good day ma, are you here to see the CEO?” the lady asked in a different accent. Lucy hesitated for a while, how did
Robert stood in front of his office staring outside at the city, with a cigarette at the edge of his mouth, his hand was buried deep in his pocket. There were lines at his forehead like he was thinking deep about something. The office was cold like in the winter, it was due to the air condition, he had increased the temperature, the sun was quite harsh out there. “Been long I smelt the air before the rain last” Robert muttered under his breath as he raised his head to look at the sky. There were a lot of clouds today covering the sun at intervals as they passed by. His mind wandered off to his previous conversation with Lucy, the daughter of the fallen powerhouse as she was popularly known as. The family had done a very deep search and digging to check for who is the next to be the head of the family after Harry and had found out after a thorough search that the real head of the family who was pulling the strings from behind is none other than Antonio Gilgamesh and Lucy had set her
Lucy sat at the back seat with her head resting on the window, with her eyes staring outside at the beautiful fence that was surrounded by beautiful plants, the huge golden gate that stood at the entrance was opened remotely. There were security members standing at each side of the gate, they both bowed their head as the car drove in. The driver drove straight into the garage and parked the car. The mansion was once an ancient building and wasn’t huge like it currently is, it was built in the 1900s. It was taken down a decade ago and the lands and houses around it were bought and brought down. A bigger one was rebuilt there. The driver drove the car straight to the garage. The door was opened by one of the bodyguards that was standing close by. Lucy alighted the car and looked around, there was a lot of cars parked around, including those that didn’t belong to her parents. It was the meeting day of the most important people in the family, they needed to hear the progress report of h
Robert was clad on a black blazers suit, a black pair of trouser and a black inner shirt. He rested his head on the back seat of the car with his arms folded, his eyes closed. He has already drifted off to sleep, the sign of fatigue clearly visible on his face. Liam took a look and let out a soft chuckle, he had never seen Robert so exhausted like he currently is now that he even slept off in the car. Liam rested his head on the window, taking a look at the blur of things as the car they were in sped past. They both occupy the back seat of the Bentley they were in, while they had a car in front of them with a couple of bodyguards and another one behind them occupying a couple of bodyguards also. They were having a conference in another town. They drove into the parking garage of a huge building that had Penfolds Hotel boldly designed in front of the building. “We are here sir” the driver said as he parked the car. “Robert” Liam called and tapped softly to wake Robert up from h
That dark smile that was plastered on Robert’s face sent shivers down Davies spine. Davies swallowed his saliva with difficulty, it was like there is a lump in his throat. “Davies Williams” Robert stretched his hands for a handshake with a spiteful look on his face. Davies composed himself and stretched his hands to accept Robert’s handshake, masking the fear that he was feeling with a composed look on his face. “This is my assistant CEO here” Robert said, introducing Liam to Davies. Liam was quite surprised by the position Robert introduced him as but her tried not to show it at all. Davies stretched his hand to shake Liam, Liam accepted the shake with a smile on his face. Davies was quite relieved. Maybe Robert no longer mean any harm again, after all he is one of the most powerful people of this nation why will he have my time. Liam still held Davies hand in a firm grip, he squeezed his hand to bring him back to reality, Davies pulled out his hand after feeling that pain tin
“Huh, the fuck?!” Davies yelled into the phone, squinting his eyebrows, different emotions written all over his face – worry and fear. The beeping sound of the call being hung up sounded loudly in his ear, that sound skyrocketed his heartbeat. He had totally forgotten that he had an extra pound of weight rested on him now, he made to take another step before feeling it and the voice and action that followed him next made him realize that he wasn’t the only person in the room. “Davies baby, what the fuck is making you worry, let me take away your worries for you” the female companion in the room that had her hands hung around his shoulders whispered sultrily in his ear and running her wet tongues on his earlobes. Due to what he had just heard on his phone a couple of seconds ago, instead of her actions to arouse, it did the exact opposite instead. It stirred a negative reaction from him, his face etched up n irritation. “Fuck off me!” he pushed her off him angrily, she fell with he
As Robert had walked away from Davies side after the reporters had clouded him. He felt that Davies was putting on an act and that act would have fooled anyone but not him. He had spent quite a long period of time at the Williams mansion so he knows everyone of them like the back of his palm. He could tell that the way Davies felt devastated and sad like he had lost when the news reporter had started reporting on the national TV which was nationwide wasn't real, he had seen the way he looks and behave whenever he lost in anyone of his videogames.Normally every human reaction knowing that the loss of what you have struggled to build is becoming so inevitable is pain. Pain will be so visible behind the eye and that feeling will be plastered on your face even if it's for a brief minute but Davies didn't exhibit those things. All these things were so suspicious and Robert wanted to do a background check on him but he was lacking one thing – his new name. He turned back and saw one of
