"What's going on?""Oh, she's a thief, who stole something vital, don't worry sir, she would be put behind bars" the manager assured combing his brows with his fingers and faking a smile, that was obvious it was an act. Who could smile genuinely at this man's presence? Everyone just has to maintain their distance somehow and if this manager had his way, he would have preferred to be a minor worker over here than being promoted to a manager which got him doing dirty jobs for this man."Sir, this way" the Manager's voice eluded his thoughts and Alex scoffed, bothered by what to say at the conference. Mostly when he wasn't with Lucian to guard him. That secretary of his took a different path when they got out of the elevator, claiming he needed to handle another issue that came up.While the manager led the way, Gerald kept looking back if perhaps he might have a glimpse of that strange girl but she was gone. He hoped she escaped them though because he needed to get information from her
These two stepped out as soon as the elevator came to a halt at their designated place, and then each took different route with a different agenda in their mind.Meanwhile, the latter who was Gerald, accompanied by his secretary had gotten into the company. They were able to surpass the mob of press outside. Gerald had no idea why this was the second place they had to visit after sealing up the matter with the claimed journalist who goes by the name, Eric. Since they got here, the latter haven't said a word as his dull and unexpressive face could tell that he was distressed over something.His secretary always had a serious look so it was hard to guess if he was worried or even emotional for a bit, he had to beckon on gerald to act all natural or else might give the personnels they were going to meet a negative impression.Earlier, he would say to himself that he fumbled, not knowing what to say to the greedy journalist he saw, but his secretary helped out in a bloody way. It was diff
"We're all going to die!" A middle age woman cried while covering her ears from going deaf due to the sound made by the shooting gun. To worsen it, they couldn't see who was pulling the trigger but they could tell, the person was close by. Horripilations hits them, wondering how this would end.Gerald shuddered, tears had gathered in his eyes, only this woman seemed courageous over here as she flip off the curtains to expose the windows. She took a squatting position when doing that and motioned to the stiffen Gerald that they needed to get out, somehow.Shockingly, she saw one of the assassins at another building aiming the gun at the conference room, it targeted at Gerald but kept missing the target."Shit!" She lamented thinking of a possible way to escape, her eyes gazed below, the height was a distance and she could barely see the ground completely, the assassin found her preying and intended to shoot at her but she was clever enough to shove herself aside.He could hear whispers
Lucian collected the card and tore it in his presence with no much wastage of time because he was a man with actions."Watch your steps Rodger or else, you might fall into your own trap, have a nice day" he whispered and gave a sided smile."You...sly!" Rodger wroth clenching his teeth as he could see Lucian lower his eyes at his feet then at the suit he wore.He was fond of being called name by this mafia and one thing others knew was that Lucian was fearless, perhaps that's why Gerald kept him close to do all dirty jobs for him. However, it was hard to dictate what goes on in Lucian's mind if was against Gerald or for him."It was you that night" Lucian thought to himself and suddenly paced away with a nervous face. As for rodger, a groan could be heard from him, he could tell what that act of Lucian meant and definitely needed to curb this man's thoughts about him.Rodger chuckled hysterically, this man knows way too much and the only way to keep him silent was ending his life befo
"Who do you suspect sir?" Lucian Furthered making Alex puzzled. Of course it was the man standing here, his experience at home had made him lose trust in anyone. Gerald had to ask Lucian where he was off to and Lucian gave him a lucid explanation.He went off to have an agreement with the underdog lord's as a representative of Gerald It got complicated that Alex had to ask if he had any family or relatives. However his response was that, he never had one."I'm an orphan?""You cut off from your family a long time ago, so they are as good as dead""How about siblings?""Yes, one"Lucian was charged with responsibility of answering all this questions set by the curious Gerald who needed to do what was right while he was here.Lucian needed to know if perhaps his boss actually did the set up so that these men wouldn't expose the proposed plans and be ahead of it, however this man was actually asking about his biography indirectly instead of focusing on the attack."What does he do for a
Even though he was the one, he sure knew how to escape the law. It made Gerald hate the character he was in, obviously, couldn't he just have transmigrated into someone good or an old man who sure was done with his life either good or bad."You're saying he's the one, do you have any evidence?" Lucian defended but she didn't give a respond rather, her peering eyes rested on Gerald who held firmly the file in his hand.Her heart raced seeing him like that, this was the only she chance she had to be close by yet this damn secretary wasn't giving her the chance and questioning her.Though she knew Gerald wouldn't help out, she still wanted to give a try. She was quite surprised when he used polite words for her and wasn't acting all ruthless like he does but looked worried. If she was dreaming, then she never wanted to wake up and just live in this imaginations.She had slapped him out of anger and frustrations, he had told her to wait for him that they would be together but rather, he
He stretched his hand for her to grab and she held on to it immediately while crossing over the unconscious man in mask."Gerald?" she called out as she was close to him now, her hand resting on his chest and her breath horassing his face but the sting of alcohol made him lean his face away."How did you get here?" she asked but there was no response, he squat before this man to examine who it could be.Evelyn stood in shook, wondering if this was her imaginations that this man was over at her place and even rescued her! When had Ethan who cares only for himself done that?"It seems like a thug miss, sent by someone" he began and she swallowed hard. Her body froze because it was hard to believe that he was there for real and could just be a mere fantasy. She had to pinch herself if it was all reality and once she felt the pains, she knew it was true. Ethan was actually there.But how did he get there when someone hours ago, she left him at the parking lot? She knew he was chasing afte
"I could shot you right this moment if you don't yield to my demands" he raged wondering if she would become scared and hand over what he needed.She chuckled and drew even more closer that her his chest rubbed against hers while they exchanged breath."There's no bullet"Her reply made the gun fall off his hand as he could tell she was a clever lady who was able to detect that there was no bullet.That was because Gerald mistakenly cracked the gun while pointing it at her. She flinched at first on hearing the sound but not came out of it and then she thought of seizing that chance in making him grant her desires.He suddenly felt chills run his spine cord as her hand grab his c**k, while she licked her lower lips trying her best to seduce him with her fingers."Don't you miss those moments with me?" She reminded and kissed him on the neck but he shoved her aside and looked at his c**k which had almost stood erect.How could he have fallen for her tricks! He didn't like such cheap wom
Brian walked gently towards his car which was parked outside waiting patiently for him to get in. He gave a fake smile at whom he found inside and she returned his gestures. The chauffeur drove them to the airport and they got there thirty minutes before the flight takes off. It was a business trip along with his secretary lucy and planned to be back within a month even before it was over. They got to their destination safely and Lucy handled everything properly while they got off the plane. He wasn't ready to address anyone that day and Lucy had to inform those who wishes to see him that he was unavailable for that moment. It was late at night and he intended to take a walk around this place where he was going to stay for a while. He had an earpod on listening to music that could soothe his mood. As he strolled, he took pictures of captivating features in this place. His eyes met a girl who seemed stranded by the bridge side, she was wincing and shivering in the cold. Perhap
He turned off the phone immediately and warned Brian to stay off his family as he got informed that his wife was involved in an accident."You made a wrong choice by messing with those that were dear to me" Brian said as Felix narrowed a brow at this man right in front of him who always does as he threaten.He couldn't say a word back at Brian as he hurriedly rushed out while his brother glared at the table with an evil intention written all over his face.It rained heavily as he could be found drained in the rain, every effort to get in touch with those whom he lost in the fire outbreak proved abortive as deep in his heart.He didn't want to believe that they were consumed in the fire, he had a lot of memories attached to those people mostly the woman who stole his heart.His life was a mess as he had lost the one whom he tried to protect. He suddenly felt a shield covering him from the rain and when he lifted his head. Brian found someone holding an umbrella over his head and he s
She studied her son, the brief smile that escaped his lips.When she mentioned Julie's name, which made her heart flutter. All she wants this time is to hear Brian call her mother again."How about we pay her a visit tomorrow?" She suggested, he grimaced at her and sighed, and she knew that was a yes. His father demanded to see him privately, and he yielded to his demand. The old man laid on the bed exhausted for the day as the party was getting dismissed gradually. He smiled immediately he saw Brian and got relieved that at least he was forgiven."No one is giving me the answers I need…why did you send me back?". His scoffed and rose from the bed while beckoning on Brian to pick a file which laid on the desk."Someone talked some sense into me" he confessed sad at heart and Brian smirked at him while picking up the file lazily."Transfer of property?" Brian read and his father nodded."I don't need anything that is yours…""I knew you would say that, but son you're the only one I
His eyes strictly monitoring her hair and shoes."You can't follow me with that" he stated and offered to follow her to her room.She smiled as she followed suit. To be honest, she did that on purpose. The hair thing actually."I won't wait all day!" he yelled from the room as he got there before her. She rolled her eyes and hastened her footsteps into the room.He pulled out her makeup seat and tapped it with his hands, beckoning on her to sit down.She sat down as he instructed and stared at the mirror. She wondered if he can really dress a person's hair because his own hair never looked properly kept.She gulped as he began combing her hair with his hands."Shouldn't he be using a comb for that?" she questioned.He began twirling part of her hair and held it up with a pin. He made a twirl with another part and made held it again.She placed her hand on her cheek and let him do his thing.He was done in a minute.She kept staring at her hair while her eyes admired it.She didn't
The thought of her former apartment popped up in his memory and he decided to drive off there. Josh who was hurrying up to met his mother's needs found him at the gates."You came for her?" He just said with a wry smile."Where's she?" Brian asked with the assertion that this naughty boy was referring to Julie."Mom's apartment, she's a psycho this time around, so be careful" he advised with no formal gestures as though the kid was having an indifference attitude towards him. Brian intended him to ask him a question which concerned a drawing of his but he had to see Julie first. Brian rang the doorbell and josh scoffed;"Why are you acting like a gentle man?" He asked opening the door for Brian. In here, everyone surrounded someone and he guessed it was Julie. Quickly, he excused himself through their midst to take a look at her and once their eyes met, she flinched and folded her legs on the bed frightened. This act of hers averted their gaze on him as they sensed he was danger.
The wailing of siren could be heard as it drove to the nearest hospital. Some doctors could be seen hurrying to take a woman to the ICU. Brian got worries written all over his face, as he hoped the victim wakes up. Lucy was less bothered besides this woman would be out of her way. She glanced at the doctor who got out of the room to address them. He was sad too. Brian had it in mind that this doctor was going to tell him that the patient lost her memory. Lucy ticked her tongue hoping that she hears this woman was dead."Can I see her?" Brian asked in whispers and the doctor nodded. They transferred her from the ICU to a ward where she could be visited. Brian wasn't allowed in as he could see nurses and a security agent rushing.After the doctor assign to administer medication to her sighed sharply and ushered Brian inside. The door glide open gently as he paced towards were she sat chained to the bed, he narrowed a brow at her surprised at the sudden scene. Her hair was wet an
"Do always cry like a child whenever she spoke to you this bad?". She scoffed and ditched the coffee in his hand again."Are you here to hurt me the more""No! I'm just learning new features, you know I despise people when they cry, but you look beautiful when you do such" he teased, and she smiled wiping her tears the more and then collected the coffee from him yet again. It seems she was going to keep to act this way with the pissed off mug of coffee."Really?" She beckoned, bringing out a mirror."Seriously? You always keep a mirror with you?""Yeah, to see if I look good when I'm done" she said laughing as he only smiled a little. It didn't take long when she began yawning by then, she was done with coffee and handed him back his mug."Goodnight Brian, I've got a lot to do tomorrow at my restaurant…stay happy! But don't cross that lioness part, she's scary when she's angry" she said in a faint voice as she walked away."Julie, are okay right where you are?" He thought, glancing a
"My biggest fan?" She echoed impressive though because she never knew she's got fans from just saving lives and her biggest fan was definitely jimmy disguised; however, the late line was awkward as he says she should be grateful he wrote it. There was no doubt that she needed to call him, although she still got my pride. She carried the box inside because she didn't want anyone to see the gift inside. Once she got in.She unfolded the wrap from the box and found a necklace. It was gorgeous and made of pure diamond."Not bad" She commented because it was expensive and wow he sure knew she wanted such. Julie was more like a materialistic person, although it would have been romantic if he wore it on her and then say: "I'm sorry love for suspecting you". It wasn't only a necklace she found but a pen and diary which wrote;"Pour it all out to me, I might be of great help". Weird right but this damn book got her laughing, just what she wanted, a diary. Well, the last two gifts she saw wa
The rain had started falling and Brian intended to leave the office. He was somewhat jealous when he mistakenly found jimmy and Julie kissing. It got him all riled up, he picked an umbrella from his office and dashed outside, however Julie's voice drew him back when she said;"Please wait, let's go together". He glanced at her as she ran through the rain to meet with him, Julie had no umbrella and once she reached out to him, she went under his umbrella while rubbing her palm together annoyed. Brian wished to ask a question but couldn't, he had snubbed her earlier because he didn't want to admit to himself that he was having feelings for this woman.Besides wading off any such feelings was for good because she was going to die someday.He kept staring at her and not taking a step forward neither was she, rather this woman was staring at the rain drop."Let's go Brian" she uttered, turning her gaze to him. He felt like telling it to her face that she should end any relationship she had
