“What do you mean by she escaped your hands, how did she manage to outsmart you? I could have sworn that you wouldn't be able to be gotten rid of, but now she did it without any stress” B spoke angrily. Of all the things that he expected his brother to do, this was certainly not it. He paced around the office, if it were another person who committed this crime, he wouldn't have hesitated to kill them off, but here he was trying to hear what his twin's stupid reason was. “Let's have it.” He said, and he looked at him, with a withering glare.“ It would have been too obvious if I stopped her from leaving, it was tantamount to kidnap, you know that. Drugging her would have been the best.” Terrence said. Blaze was very angry and his eyes raged with furious anger, if it were another person, shit! He would have killed them instantly, how dare Terence tell him that his option was better," You are getting on my nerves and I don't like it. I gave you a simple job, I got Henry without stres
Henry felt the impact of the gunshot rang into the air, and he ducked as fast as he could. Blaze turned when his hand began to hurt, he turned toward his attacker and saw that it was none other than Detective Caine.“ You!” he pointed at him angrily but was met with Caine's nonchalant expression, he was not interested in hearing whatever Blaze had to say. “ You are under arrest for kidnap, illegal possession of guns, and attempted murder.” He said. Blaze chuckled loudly," You think you can arrest me? Is that what this is?” He asked, and Caine didn't reply. He was here alone, so he had to be careful. “Crawl back to the hole you came out from.” He said and flicked his hand like he was talking to a fly on the wall.“And if I don't?” Caine asked as he moved a step closer. This man needed to be taught a great lesson. He thought as he walked closer again. Blaze looked around and waved his hand across the room," I will kill you.” Caine sighed, he didn't want to kill Blaze, he wanted hi
Clara took a step backward when she heard what he said," You killed someone?” Henry repeated to be certain he heard him well.“ Yes. I admit that there was a time when I was involved in some dealings at a point in my life. He tried to kill me, and I retaliated. I should have known that he would have a kid that would try to take vengeance.” Pops sighed and shut his eyes as he remembered the unfortunate incident.“ Do you think his brother will return?” Henry asked. It was only normal that Terrence would try to retaliate, he didn't want to continue the cycle again.“Caine is working towards that.” “ I'm sorry to announce to you that he is not the only one who is after you.” Caine interrupted from the doorway, cutting their attention away. “ I found out that we might have other people who are after you, and so you still have to be under protection.” He said.Henry sighed, this was what he feared, he wouldn't be able to move freely without looking over his shoulder. “ What's the way fo
The hotel was twenty minutes away from the hospital, so if it was an urgent situation as she was moving on, she heard the voice, but there was nothing it “ I will leave in thirty minutes, can you make it down here?” Pops asked her.“ Yes.” She replied.“ I'll wait till then, thank you.” He found it amazing that she was quick to answer every one of Henry's needs. He made a mental note to increase her salary. She was playing the role of a nurse.“ You're welcome, sir.” she replies and shut down her laptop before rushing toward the door and exiting the hotel. She hailed a cab and got in," Thanks for the ride.” She told the cab man. As she was about to step into the lobby, her phone rang. It was an unknown number.“ Hello, Clara speaking.” She said politely.A familiar chuckle resonated from the receiver. “ Hello, dear. How's your brother doing?” Terrence asked. His warm voice sent unwanted shivers down her spine, and she couldn't help but wonder why he was calling.“ He's getting bett
Derek didn't waste time in hugging Clara, and he went as far as twirling her around as Clara stared in horror. Oh my goodness, what would he be thinking? She wondered.“ Derek!” She exclaimed and slapped his hands away when she saw Henry's eyes zone in on their joined bodies. His stare was disapproving and she felt weird.“Hey, it's nice to see you back to life.” Derek joked, but Henry didn't find it funny, his lips curled up in distaste.What are you doing? Clara wondered, but he didn't say anything. He looked like he was enjoying himself. “ How are things on your end?” Henry inquired. Derek didn't look like he was still mourning his dad one bit, and they looked at him. His sunny disposition needed to be studied. “I am glad to see both of you happy and well.” He said, and they stared at each other.“ What?” “ You are alive and well, isn't it a great thing?” He asked and they nodded. “ That's what I wanted to hear,” Derek said and observed the pair, they had not confessed their fe
Meanwhile, Henry stewed inside the room, was she in a relationship with him? He remembered that she was married. What would make a married woman get involved in things like that? For every minute they spent outside, his brain was roaming with ideas. He stopped himself from going outside to see what they were doing.By the time Clara returned to his room, she was with a pint of ice cream.He merely raised his brows at the gift she brought in. He was buying her gifts now? Didn't she know that whenever the male species did things for people, it was because they wanted something in return and not because they liked the person that much?“ Would you like some ice cream, sir?” She offered.The hell? With the anger that pulsated in him, if he got hold of that bucket, he could smash it, but that was unethical, so he shook his head quietly. He was trying to strike up a conversation with Clara when Derek walked in, now that atmosphere was gone, he would have to wait until another time before
Clara woke up with a start when she felt a hand on her shoulder, it was light and feathery abs she nuzzled into the hands. They felt familiar and she smiled. She hopes that it was Henry. Well, that could be the only person who could touch her shoulder without her permission, and she wouldn't get angry too well. As she saw that he was staring at her with a surprised expression, she jumped to her feet immediately. Did she do something wrong? She wondered.Oh! She was supposed to work on the presentation tomorrow, but here she was sleeping. “ I'm sorry, I didn't work on my computer, if you would permit me, I'll run along and get it from my room.” She said, her eyes unable to meet his. “ It's okay.” Henry said. Clara panicked, and her legs trembled, why was he staring at her as though she had committed a heinous crime? For all she knew, she hadn't done anything wrong except fall asleep.“ Did I do something wrong, sir?” She asked.“ No, you didn't,” He replied.Then why are you stari
By the next morning, Henry was barking orders at Clara. He figured out that she had been talking to Derek last night, and it annoyed him to the bone. Who knew what they had been discussing? It was no secret that Derek didn't regard him as someone important.He didn't rub it in his face, but he alway made it obvious that he wasn't his worker. That man had an unhealthy dose of problem in his veins, and he was afraid that one way or the other it was going to rub off on her. He saw the way her lips quirked when he was talking to her. With the way he shouted at her, she maintained a joyful expression, and he wanted to shake her and at the same time throttle her for answers. He knew that he was acting weird, but he couldn't help himself, and before he knew what was happening, he had to ask her to excuse him.He needed some fresh air, his mind was clouded with her thoughts which were against his will. He didn't want to think about her, but that seemed impossible.He sighed, and called Grin
