Alec ripped the tape from Lisa's lips, his movements deliberate and cruel. She groaned in pain and cursed him immediately with a venomous hiss that made Alec's smile grow."You filthy animal," Lisa spat, her voice trembling with rage. Her eyes were already bloodshot red from crying. She had to be in the hospital that evening and she knew Dora would be worried sick.Alec's gaze locked onto Lisa's terrified face, his eyes glinting with sadistic pleasure. "You know, Lisa, your husband is quite...attached to you. I wonder how long he'll hold out."Lisa's eyes welled with tears, but her voice was steady, her sharp mouth still muttering curses confidently. "You'll never get away with this. Andrew will find me, and when he does, you'll pay."Alec chuckled, his lips stretching across his face like a grotesque mask. "Oh, but I already have. Your husband is dancing on my strings, and soon, he'll hand over everything I want including the box of papers." He said then burst into uncontrollable lau
Andrew stormed into the room, his eyes locked onto Alec's smug face. Lisa's terrified gaze met his, and he knew he had to act fast."You're a monster," Andrew spat, his voice venomous.Alec sneered, his hand tightening around the gun. "And you're a fool. You think you can double cross me and get away with it? You'll never leave this place alive."Andrew charged forward, his fists clenched. "The police have already been alerted and they will be here any moment, your game is over and You'll pay for what you've done to Lisa."Alec snarled, his finger twitching on the trigger. "You're too late. She's already seen the truth. Your precious wife knows who you really are."Andrew's eyes flashed with anger. "You did what?" Andrew asked turning to Lisa who was staring at him with a mix of love and anger.The two men clashed, their blows raining down on each other. Alec's gun clattered to the floor as they fought."You'll never win," Alec snarled, his face twisted with rage."I already have, the
Andrew's vision blurred, and he felt himself being pulled through a tunnel of darkness. When his sight cleared, he found himself standing on a windswept cliff, overlooking a breathtaking landscape. The sky above was a brilliant blue, with wispy clouds drifting lazily across.Andrew stumbled backward, his footing uncertain on the rocky terrain. His mind spun with confusion, and his voice was swept away by the howling wind."Where am I?" he muttered, his words lost in the emptiness.Fear crept in, its icy grip tightening around his heart. Was this the afterlife? Had he truly left Lisa behind, forever trapped in a world without her?Panic set in, and Andrew's emotions boiled over. He wailed, his anguished cry echoing off the mountainside, bouncing back in haunting reverberations. The sound seemed to shake the very foundations of the cliff, and for a moment, Andrew felt the weight of his grief crushing him.But just as despair threatened to consume him, he heard voices – faint whispers ca
Lisa sat beside Andrew's hospital bed, her hand grasping his’ tightly as if willing him back to life. She stared at him and tears trickled down her cheeks.“Please come back to me baby, I forgive you, I forgave you even before you apologized. I love you, please don’t leave me.” She said in tears kissing the back of his palm. The doctor entered, a warm smile spreading across his face. She returned the smiles knowing it wasn’t genuine. She also knew the doctor’s wasn’t genuine as well. He just offered it to me to ease the tension I was feeling and I understood. "He seems… you know… stable," the doctor announced, his eyes shining with optimism. "The...device in his arm seems to be sustaining his life."Lisa's eyes filled with tears, her voice trembling. "Will he wake up? Are you sure he can make it? Should I have any hope at all?"The doctor nodded. "We're hopeful. He doesn’t seem to be in any danger at the moment though but he isn’t awake as well so let’s just keep being hopeful. Alth
After a few days, Andrew was finally discharged from the hospital. Back at the mansion, he felt a mix of relief and amusement as Patrick rushed to check on him every few minutes. When a familiar knock echoed at the door, Andrew couldn’t help but smile—it was Patrick again.“I’m fine, Patrick! You can stop hovering over me,” he said, stifling a laugh. It struck him as funny; only babies got this kind of treatment.“Does he really think I’m a child?” Andrew mused to himself, a chuckle escaping his lips.“No, young master, I’m here with something urgent. You’ll definitely want to hear this,” Patrick called from outside, his voice tinged with excitement.“Alright, come in,” Andrew replied, curiosity piqued. Patrick entered with a radiant smile, his enthusiasm almost contagious.“What couldn’t wait, Patrick? I’m trying to catch my breath here,” Andrew said gently, though his interest was clearly growing.“It’s about the company,” Patrick announced, and Andrew’s heart raced. This was incred
Andrew strode confidently toward the entrance of the luxurious mansion, his footsteps echoing off the marble floor. The warm sunlight streaming through the glass doors highlighted his demure expression. As he approached the security checkpoint, a burly guard, Joe, stepped forward, blocking his path. Joe's thick arms crossed his chest, and his brow furrowed. Andrew stared at him with disdain. He was one of the Guards who made his life a living hell in the mansion and Andrew felt like throwing a punch on his face but held back. "Hold up, Andrew. You're not welcome here anymore," Joe growled, staring at him intently as though he would beat him up if he made another move. Andrew raised an eyebrow, his eyes narrowing slightly. "What are you talking about? Will you get out of my sight this Instant! he scolded , his voice loud enough to alert another guard who started walking towards them hastily. Joe shifted his weight, his eyes darting to the side. "Lady Gaga's orders. You're not allo
The warm air in the garden felt different, grazing Lisa's skin. She couldn't tell what it was in the serene environment but it soothed her nerves, making her insides relaxed and propelling her for the question that lingered on her mind. She opened her mouth to say something but then hesitated and closed it back. Her thoughts were toppling over and she had needed answers to each lingering question on her mind. Andrew could feel Lisa's temperature change from just her palm, he looked down at where their palms were intertwined before looking back at her. "Is everything okay, sweetie?" Andrew couldn't help but ask, her worry was evident in her slight trots. Lisa turned to look at Andrew with a surprised look spread across her features. "How do you know something is bothering me?" She asked. "I can tell, sweetie, it's all over your face," Andrew replied. Lisa sighed and kept her gaze ahead. "I did not want to ruin our walk, Andrew, let's just keep that aside." "Oh c'mon now, it's ju
"And please allow me to invite you to the table up here with me.....well come on up here, Patrick. " Andrew gestured toward Patrick who held an expectant gaze on his face. Patrick adjusted his tuxedo before he stood up and made his way across the conference room, a smile playing across his face. Patrick couldn't contain his excitement as he joined Andrew. "Thank you so much, boss," Patrick said, reaching his hand out for a handshake. "I should be the one thanking you, Patrick." Andrew started, taking his hand, "You have managed this company well and you deserve this promotion." Andrew took Patrick's hand and shook it fervently. Patrick didn't know how to respond other than to let out another thank you. "Please let's give our new CEO of THE GENIUS GROUP OF COMPANIES, Patrick a round of applause." Andrew let out and all pairs of hands began to resound in an applause of accolade. "Thank you so much boss, I just cannot thank you enough." Patrick let out. "You are welcome, Patrick,"
