“If we aren't careful, we won’t be fine here,” Edwin repeated, settling into the seat while others watched him."Boss, what happened? What's the problem?" Both Draco and Alaric were alert trying to depict the meaning of Edwin's statement "We won't be fine. Klaus is serious about finding Linda, and at this point, he is going to go to any length just to find her. He already promised that if we don't get her, then he doesn't mind breaking the whole city just to get her.""This is serious, but getting a solution shouldn't be too far boss," Draco said hopefully."Hopefully Draco. Hopefully. Klaus is a deadly criminal, but we should be deadlier. But how to go about that I don't know yet." Edwin responded differently."For now, the most important thing is telling Linda to make sure she doesn't violate the rules by going out anywhere." Alaric chipped in, everyone looking slightly confused about what to do next."Let that slide for now, Draco, you need to speed up things with Ciara and Kimbe
"Mr Yen is arriving today, I think we should prepare a place for him instead of him arriving here," Edwin said after receiving the report of the arrival."There is no need to bother about that boss. The Carlos Conglomerate has a hotel here in Eastcliff, it's one of the biggest. We can easily get a presidential suite for Mr Yen.""Really?! The Carlos Conglomerate is that large?!" Edwin was quite surprised that he exclaimed."Yes, boss. There's a lot from Carlos Conglomerate. I'll get going so I won't miss them.""Alright, get going so we pick up from somewhere."Alaric was just about to leave when Draco said. "Should I go with you? I could be a good use, you know. A good company.""You are supposed to be with Kimberly, not mess around," Edwin said with furrowed brows."Sorry, boss. I was merely joking." Draco apologised immediately, while Alaric left.Arriving at the waiting zone, Alaric was quick to get cardboard with a marker on it, he visibly wrote. "Calvin."After about half an hou
The following morning, awoken by an alarm, and the sun escaping through the curtain blinds, Alaric forcefully opened his eyes.It took him some time to recollect what had happened the previous night and where he was, and then he remembered the last person he had spoken to the previous day was Ariana.However, turning his head sideways, he caught the beautiful woman he had married years back, lying close to him and peacefully snoring.Immediately he planted a kiss on her forehead, but she awoke."Rushing somewhere?" she said leaning on her chin."I have to take Mr Yen somewhere as soon as possible.""Hmm… Okay." she was just about sinking back when he said."You are his assistant right? You should be going with him."She immediately threw the blanket on her face. "Gosh, I am. What was I thinking?"Ariana stood up immediately, going to the bathroom. On second thought, she was suddenly remembering that if Mr Yen caught her with Alaric, she wasn't so sure what his reaction would be."Alar
On the other hand, Xander was left to watch over Linda while the others were out.Considering the fact that he was the one placed in charge of watching over her, he tried all he could to keep her in place. However, for two days, she had sealed herself away from all of them, locking herself up in her room."Check on your girlfriend, Xander." That was what the others had said before they left home.But considering her words. "I'm not ready for love, I want revenge," he had the thoughts of stepping back, but he was filled with concern.She had not being out of her room for three days, worry was drawn over him as he wondered if she was really fine."Linda! Linda! Linda!" He called at the front of her door, placing a knock at intervals while he did so."Linda, I know you are in there, you've being in for the past three days, come on open up." he had concern laced in his tone.However, regardless of how much he hit the door, she never came to open it.Xander had to pause for a while, trying
"You want to know why I care this much?" Xander leaned over staring into her Emerald green eye ball, which Linda kept gulping, wondering what was going to happen next."I keep doing this because I care about you. I am in love with you, and you hurt me each time you behave selfishly like you just did. Trying sucide, do you know how many people you actually put in trouble? You put our lives on the line all because you want to kill yourself and end your fucking life!"He sighed heavily. "You just…" he wanted to say more, but then he was pissed, he turned around to leave immediately without batting an eye at her.Linda on the otherhand sank into the bed.**** Meeting with Mr Yen and trying to fit him into the current situation of things.Discussion has being going on for about an hour, and there were still so much to fill Mr Yen into."Alaric, fighting this man would be pretty hard. And with all youve explained about his status, I would say he is a tough criminal. Now, going against him,
"I will get the door Alaric, never mind." Edwin stood up to do as he said. However, approaching the door, he didn't bother checking the loophole, all he wanted instead was to open the door to blast whoever it was, due to the repeated knocking."Why behave like a miscreant?" Edwin yelled out, and opened the door, upon sighting Helen, he slammed the door to her face before she could even say a word. Edwin behaving as thought he saw no one."What the heck does she want from us?" Edwin ranted, locking the door behind them and returning to his seat.Nevertheless, the knock continued, making Alaric's curiosity piqued."Boss, who was it?" Alaric asked, seeming inquisitive."Just some passerby who seemed to take this place for granted." his response didn't sound quite impressive, hence, Alaric asked again the second time."Passerby! Why would a passerby be at our door?" Alaric mumbled, but then the knock kept coming through."Boss!" Alaric softly called, however, Edwin was now more engrossed
The paintings on the wall caught Edwin's attention and he turned to check. He could find the picture of a full family. Helen, Mrs Howard and the younger sister.However, the picture was tagged with a date, tracing the date back, it turned out that the date was just the previous year.His curiosity piqued and then he decided to ask questions. "Mrs Howard, what year did you get confined to the wheelchair?" Mrs Howard, who was still joking and smiling with Alaric suddenly got her face firm."Just last year son! You know after the death of my husband, I had to take over the responsibility of being a father to my kids. I worked tirelessly and that was it. On a rainy day, returning home I got involved in a car accident." she sniffed trying to fight back the tears of remembering the old days."The doctor said we needed to deposit a million dollars for the surgery but what do we do? I would rather be confined to a wheelchair than remain without having anything to feed my kids. Plus the docto
"Hey babe. It's been a while since we had some time together. How about I stop by your place and then we have some moments together before I return to that old man?"Draco smiled, picking up the phone. At least he finally was convinced that the poor Ciara couldn't do without him, that was just the plan and she was slowly falling for it.Instead of replying to the text, he dialled her number.An evidence that she was really missing him was this. The phone had barely rang when she picked immediately."You miss me that much?" he said with a goofy smile."Sure, why won't I? And you? Have you just taken me off your mind like that?"Draco sat at the edge of the bed and then said. "Sure, I miss you. I miss having you around me." "Hmm…" she leaned into the chair, reduced her voice to a messily soft and seductive tone. "Do you want me over? I could be there anytime soon." Connecting the dots immediately, Draco smiled and said. "With your old man around, I doubt if you will be able to come ar
