“Oh no!” She squirmed internally as her legs and whole body trembled. It was as if she was going to pass out the next second. Alaric on the other hand didn't stop staring at her like she was a piece for auction in a bidding contest.Kaylan knew Alaric before now but this was their first physical meeting, thanks to his dealings that were exposed to the public. She didn't need anyone to tell her she was meeting with a dangerous man. His aura and everything about him screamed danger, prompting her to scream too but she couldn't even make a sound. “You seem to have a lot of time on your hand.” He finally broke the silence but that didn't make Kaylan relieved even for a second. She felt blood draining from her, as the grip on her phone weakend. Just when she was about to pass out in fright, Alaric's phone began to buzz in his pocket and he pulled it out. He took a few steps away from her, blocking her path in the process but nevertheless, she let out the breath she had been holding i
With her headphones plugged in, Rose sat behind the screens which were fixed in her bedroom, her eyes moving from one camera to the other as she tried to detect anything fishy. Kaylan had helped in placing cameras in strategic places in the building so they would also have access to what was going on. “Ugh! It's so boring here.” She muttered, yawning as she tilted her head to the side. It wasn't up to five seconds when she took her gaze off the screen that they went off suddenly. Thinking it was a disruption in the connection, she tried to fix it but it was to no avail. “Dammit!” She sucked her teeth, slamming her hand against the table as she fumed with anger. Stepping out of her room, she made her way straight to the guardrail, “Hey! The cameras went off.” Immediately Giovanni and Dave heard that, they left what they were doing and rushed to her room. Just like she tried fixing it, they attempted the same thing but it was to no avail. “I bet the cameras have been detected.”
For the next few minutes, Kaylan kept exchanging words to the men who were patient with her as she waited for any car to pass by but it seemed that wasn't going to happen. “I’m going to call the police right away and get you sued.” She scowled, picking up her phone to make the call only to discover that there was no service. The look on her face made the men burst into a mocking laughter as she tried to get a hang of what was happening but it was to no avail. She was still trying to wrap her head around the situation when one of the men yanked the door open. He didn't have to say anything to her before she stumbled out of the car, cold sweat breaking out of her pores. Why aren't there any cars for miles? — She thought, staring at her phone which was almost useless. While others checked her car, one of the men walked up to her, placing his hand on her shoulder and with a smirk, he said, “You shouldn't engage yourself in dangerous stuff.” “Let go of me.” She tried to pull away fr
Seething with anger, Alaric stormed out of his home office only to storm back in almost immediately. His men who were frightened all held their breath as no one dared to question him. Karl had called him concerning Kaylan after he had informed him of the presence of a spy. At the moment, Alaric didn't know what to do as he was lost and frustrated. If he had known, he wouldn't have told Karl about Kaylan until he had caught her red handed. “Sir, is there anything we can do to help?” A bold guard asked and without thinking twice, Alaric sent the nib of his pen into his neck. Sucking his teeth in anger, he stormed out finally and then drove to the Presidential Villa where Karl was currently waiting for him. Curious to find out the outcome of his investigation, Karl said, “Can I get the details already?” When Alaric didn't say a word to him, he tilted his head to the side, his whole gaze fixated on him, still yet, Alaric wouldn't say anything. “What happened?” Karl asked with a sli
On arrival, Liam was busy speaking to some staff concerning the upcoming project they were to embark on. Immediately they noticed the presence of Alaric, they all dispersed. Liam on the other hand wore a neutral expression as he kept staring at Alaric's who had refused to say a word since he came around. He didn't need anyone to tell him that Alaric had discovered who Kaylan was, so he was a bit perturbed but he didn't show it. After what seemed like forever, Alaric closed the gap between them and with his full gaze on Liam, he said, “Why did you put her in that situation knowing fully well it's a danger zone?” His tone was low but loud enough for Liam to hear him properly. Feigning ignorance, Liam scrunched his brow, parting his lips slightly as if he was trying to wrap his head around what he was saying. Furious with this, Alaric wanted to grab his shoulder but he left his hand hanging mid air. “Are you certain you aren't going to regret this? Karl knows about Kaylan now and
Sitting in the bar section of his home, Alaric was sipping a glass of water with his hands folded in front of him. Karl's words were making him uncomfortable.Silencing someone wasn't a hard task for him to do but he wasn't moved to do the same to Kaylan when she was merely working on Liam's instruction. Balling his hands into a fist, he would clench it for a while and then release it.This went on for a long time and when he finally stopped, he rose up only to plop back on his seat with a thud. “I'm a pawn in this game.” He muttered, tugging his hair. “He even has a replacement for me already. Who could that be?” He pondered, feeling his neck and back of his head for the presence of any cut but there was none. Shaking his head vehemently, he rose but as usual, he fell back on his seat, grabbing his head as he squinted. “I can't meet Liam for help. He is going to look down on me and I can't let that happen.” He huffed and with his lips caged in between his teeth, he grunted. Jus
First, it was the faint sound of a door opening and then a bang. Rolling to the end of her bed, Kaylan nuzzled deeply into her pillow, trying to seek comfort as she relaxed from the grueling events of the day. When the noise became consistent, she threw her legs off her bed with her eyes partially open. Rubbing on it, she got off and then headed to the kitchen to get herself a glass of water. She had just placed the empty glass on the counter when she saw another glass on the counter, this time around it contained another liquid. Trying to wrap her head around what she had seen, she parted her lips as she racked her head only for the faint sound of a footstep to filter into her ears. Scared to the bones, she ran to the telephone only to discover that the wires had been disconnected, this did nothing but to increase her fright.With cold beads of sweat breaking out on her forehead, she kept darting her eyes around as she thought of her next step of action. “What have I gotten my
Liam on the other hand had been watching Alaric through the camera he had at his house — the necklace which adorned Kaylan's neck. Kaylan on her part had no idea about it since Liam had given it to her as a gift which she wasn't prepared to let go off. “I wonder what is going to happen next.” Rose commented, moving around until Liam grabbed the arm of the chair. Pulling her up, he pushed her towards the bathroom. “You stink, go clean up.” He had his nose scrunched up like the odor was offensive. Dave who was currently with them at that time wasn't left out as they watched a furious Rose stomp off. Just when Alaric was about to pull Kaylan by her hair, Liam dialed his phone and immediately the call went through, he received it, stepping away from her. “Are you calling to check up on Kaylan?” Alaric asked with a smirk dancing on his lips. Casting a glance to Kaylan who was just staring when in the real sense she wanted to yell out to Liam for help, he let out a low chuckle. “Wha
