Robert laid on his bed staring at the ceiling with both of his hand under the back of his head. He was putting on a straight face, he was clad on only black pajamas trouser while the upper part of his body was naked. The words of Liam echoing in his head again and again, now he doesn’t want to involve himself in the matters of taking down the dirty ones again, he just wants to focus on doing and minding his day-to-day business and also most of all focusing most of his attention on finding the cure for Hazel together with Lucian. But you can’t do that, you have dipped your hand in this shit, you really have to finish what you started. If he really wants to bow out now, he was sure that his decision now will come back to haunt him. Nothing is more dangerous than a wounded lion and he had inflicted more damage on the now Babe – no, Babylon Industries. He had destroyed their pride, dragged their face in the mud and tainted their public image, made them lose a lot of money, dragged off
“The incident at the Babylon ceremony yesterday which ended in commotion resulted in the loss of prominent people like Alec Gilgamesh the past CEO of the Babylon Industries and the head of the Gilgamesh family just after he handed over power to Antonio Gilgamesh officially….” The melodious voice of the female reporter came from the television screen, she had a calm voice as she read out the news of the day. “Other members of the Gilgamesh family also lost their life is Victor Gilgamesh, his wife and his children all lost their life. Another man by the name Samuel Bentacur lost his life also. The all abovementioned people lost their life due to bullet from what is being suspected to be a sniper.”“Also some people from where reported dead from the prison…” Robert picked up the remote on his table and switched off the television, he remembered the two people photo posted on the television, there were the two people sent to assassinate him that he had put in jail in exchange for him sa
Antonio stood inside his huge mansion that have a very huge glass that stood as a window, he stood before it with a glass of wine in his hand staring outside at the not busy road of the city. It was nighttime already so most of the people had already retired to their respective homes. The half-moon which sit lazily in the sky surrounded by the clouds and the stars reflected on a part of his body while the other part was dark. He pulls out his other hand that was buried deep in his pockets and ran it through his brown hair, his muscles flexing and moving easily, sliding beneath his taut skin of an athlete body. He sipped from his cup, he had an expressionless face.Shit. He thought. A frown appearing on his face. It was clear that he wasn't pleased. He sipped again, the red liquid content from his cup. Lucy sat at the edge of the bedroom, she was clad in her nighties with her head bent low facing the ground and her hands intertwined together. There was a mixture of emotion on her
Robert was clad on a black top and a gray pants his hands folded across his chest, his brows furrowed, he was pissed. Staring at the already burnt building that was black now compared to the former ash colored building that stood as his warehouse just a few hours ago. Most of the goods were lost at the third and second floor were lost, only a few at the last floor were being recovered if the firefighters haven't gotten here he would have lost all his goods completely. There were detectives, the sheriff and the lieutenant all gathered around looking for what the cause to the fire might be, for the source. "One thing for sure is that the fire was set from the inside, it was like one of the goods was caught up with the electricity or some stuff like that" Detective Thomas said with a serious look plastered on his face while he folded his arms across his chest but his voice didn’t sound with any conviction at all. Robert could feel that he was lyingHe was the one that is going to be
Robert stared at him waiting for answer, he was getting impatient, he could feel his heart thudding loudly against his chest as he stared at Lucian who had a blank expression on his face. “Well let’s say I have got a good news and a bad news also, so which one do you want to hear first my lord?” Robert let out a deep sigh and relaxed his back on the chair he was sitting on with his arms folded on his chest. His gaze was locked on the empty space outside and then it averted to the moving cars and trucks across the road. “Aren’t people always choosing to hear the bad one first? I will go with the opposite one” Robert replied, his eyes still locked on the moving vehicles as they zoomed past, some were barely a blur, they were probably driving in their utmost speed to catch up with something or to meet their deadline. His mind diverted to his life when he was still living with the Williams, anger flashed in his eyes for a brief second as he remembered the suffering he went through.
Robert sat on his swivel chair turning it around to face the door and tapping on the arm of the chair with his fingers. He pulled his chair closer to his huge office table that was barely filled with documents that he needs to go through. He pulled open one and then he stopped as his eyes caught another one that needed his immediate signing. It was the building of another warehouse. He rubbed his temple slowly, he lost a huge deal of money that Friday night, no matter how he tried to act like he wasn’t pained by it, it was all just a lie and he was beginning to fail miserably at that job. “Fuck!” he yelled and slammed his hands on the table angrily scattering some of the things on the table, his face had squeezed slightly, and his brows had drawn closer to each other. “Fuck you Antonio!” he cussed silently, his tone was laced with anger. There was a knock on the door, “Come in” he said and raised his head to see who was coming in. “Sir you have a visitor, he said he is here on
"Who the fuck are you?" Antonio asked again, the fear that he felt some minutes ago had disappear. Standing up to his feet slowly. There is no way you can be a fucking human!. Antonio thought, his brows furrowed. He no longer felt the presence of the monster again, it was like he was standing in a room where the Robert he really knew was having a remorse over what he had just done. Antonio was sure that if he was the one, if the position was reversed, he wouldn't have hesitated or thought twice before snapping his neck. Robert turned his head slowly to look at him from his side eye. "Know your place dog!" Robert barked out at him, his eyes were still reddened with anger.The look from him was still terrifying like it was some minutes ago. Antonio tried all he could not to cower in fear, he masked the fear he was feeling perfectly. "What is your reason for coming here?" Robert asked in a calm and reserved voice. It was like there a lump appeared in Antonio's throat suddenly, he
Liam walked in the passageway slowly with both of his hands buried deep in his pocket. Nodding his head to greeting from the workers there that are all passing by. Robert have been so engrossed in his quest for Hazel’s cure that he had barely focused on work, leaving most – no, it’s all of them that he had been leaving for him to do lately, he understands that she is Robert’s wife and she is his own sister also, he would have loved to assist but someone have to take care of the company also. Though all the power was dwelled on him with Robert and Hazel’s absence he is the next in line. He never knew that it was going to have a huge disadvantage such as immense stress and fatigue attached to it also. Liam sighed tiredly for the umpteenth time as he made his way to Robert’s office which was not too far from his, they were both located on the same floor. He was seriously worn down, he had his mind fixed on probably taking the next day as break or even a week if possible. He pushed
