Rejected as a Commoner, Wanted as an Heir Twelve Miles Away
*Christian* Taut Jaws, Strained muscles, endless flow of adrenaline in my veins.. I needed to hit something... To let out the frustration bottled inside of me through an aggressive act. There were blood stains.. on the tiled floor, smeared on the walls, on the dining table... Shattered glasses spread all over the floor, it's sharp edges exposed without caution. With all the images crossing my vision, the only person I could think of was her... I do care about the rest but Her... She doesn't deserve to go through this.. not when she recently got involved in a fatal accident.. not when she's still temporarily blind. 'Wake up the island! Approach whoever you can!! Get as many information as possible... I need to know who they are! What direction they took..' I gritted out my orders.. They were attentive, quick to grasp onto my every word. Out of the corner of my eyes, I could sight the one camera lenses broken, on the floor. I did a quick through search around the house... maybe I'd

*Christian*The warehouse was located in a secluded, less urban like area... Untarred roads, over grown weeds were all visible in the environment. This particular street seems like it had been abandoned for years.. there were unmaintained houses, no vehicles, no humans in sight. The warehouse building stood alone with its facade unwelcoming. Various parts of the walls were also cracked, it might decide to tear up anytime and bring the whole building onto the ground.'They're in there' Donna relayed, busy on the tab with things I'm yet to make out. Without further ado, I alighted the vehicle, seeking my way into the building. 'Boss.. you can't go in unarmed!' I heard Donna yell at me but by the time I started to consider the contingency of her words, it was too late.. Two masked men stood nose to nose with me, both had the barrel of their guns resting dangerously on either sides of my forehead. 'Raise your hands above your head' the bald one ordered, his low, deep voice resonating j

~Christian~I didn't take my time to think things through. I charged at him and punched him in the nose multiple times before I got held back by his men. Annoyance flicked his eyes when he wiped an amount of blood from his nose.. 'Still quick to anger, I see' he commented while he collected the wipe being given to him to clean up the blood smears.'What are you doing? Where did you keep them?!' I growled, fighting relentlessly at the men who kept me restricted.'It's a surprise you were able to find me so quick. How did you know we were here? Huh..?'He crossed his right leg on the other, his fingers tapping the arm of the wooden chair he settled on, carefully. He simply stared at me.. neither did he acknowledge my words or proceed to give me an answer to my asked question.The more I stared, the more irritated I became. I really wanted to knock that sly look off his face, beat him to a pulp for attacking them in my absence and more for taking her from me those days I had nothing. It

~Christian~Watching her stand up for herself filled me with a sense of pride and I couldn't escape a little grin. This was Lauren. One I had always known. Smart enough to turn situations around for her favour. I still held my gun up just in case on if his guards decide to act stupidly. As if on cue, the blaring sounds of police sirens reached us...'You can't do this to me, Lauren. You can't get me into trouble because I tried to save you.' he repeated, his eyes wide with fear.'This...' I paused, taking few, graceful strides to where Lauren had him pinned. '..is game over, Gabe.'I collected the gun from Lauren,. encouraged her to leave now that it was safe. While she left, the officers surfaced, Donna also trailed behind. For facts unknown to me, she wouldn't stop poking her eyes at me. They took him out and the rest of his accomplices. It was remaining just us.'If you want to get yourself killed asap, then do that when I quit my job' she screeched, irritation crossing her feature

Retired Armies, Renowned business men, politicians e.t.c.I secured myself a seat on a table that wasn't too out in the open. The last thing I wanted right now was unwelcomed attention. The guests rolled in. Some came as a duo, some as a trio and some individually.

~Christian~I tailed her till she got home safe before ordering my driver to take me back to the office. If only she knew the woman she was messing with. Linda is no lovely, smokey friend. Certainly, she's got something up her sleeve. I'm not sure what yet, not until I found out.'Is this the new normal, sir?' my driver called out from where he controlled the wheels.My forehead wrinkled. 'New normal for what?''Miss Lauren Palmer. Tailing her till she's home'Unfortunately, he wasn't looking at me enough to notice the unpleasant expression I displayed. This was the first time in two months I was doing this. And I was doing this to be sure she got home safe after coming to a realization she was playing with a serpent's tongue.. If I ain't sure of her safety, I wouldn't be settled.

~Christian~Just as I was about to board my waiting vehicle, Audrey Hepburn crossed my path, a coy smile on his face. 'Well, well. Congratulations brother. I couldn't let you leave without telling you one.' His tone was mocking rather than congratulatory. I snickered disapprovingly without saying a word. He sized me up. 'So, what am I supposed to address you as now? HEIR. Christian Forbes?' he added spitefully, emphasizing on the word 'Heir' aggressively. 'Now that you have most of our father's share and the legal head of Forbes Consortium, the respect should be accorded to you, right?''If you've got nothing to say, step aside. I have somewhere to be' I grimaced, sickened with his childish display 'How did the News about my unborn child go with you?'Somehow, I knew the conversation was going to lead here. For Crissakes I've no strength to deal with this or him.I ignored and walked past him. Our shoulders hit each other as I did so.'It's so sad she wouldn't be working for you an

~Lauren~It was my first time visiting the 'Forbes exclusive mansion', as they call it. It was similar to the ones displayed and seen on magazines, news papers, TVs e t c. Everything about it screamed luxury. The air itself had a floral scent. Several guards were by the gate, few within in the mansion, standing in positions as if waiting for an opportunity to charge at unwanted visitors. I was thoroughly examined before allowed to go further into the compound. Interlocks were arranged neatly on the ground, a water fountain was located in the center of the compound. A guard led me to the main entrance of the mansion, handing me over to a short, stout maid by the door.'Miss Lauren Palmer, I presume' she uttered the instant she saw me. I nodded, concurring to her conclusion. She smiled, revealing her lost, two front teeth. 'Well, Mrs. Forbes is in her study, waiting for your presence.' she mentioned. 'I'll lead you there but please give me a moment''Sure ma'am'. I nodded politely, wat
