"that's Jessica" his secretary announced while jumping out of the car, his nervous gaze could tell he knew what this lady was up to. "What do you think you're doing..." "Stay out of this" she retorts to lucian while walking towards Alex who had gotten out of the car. Quickly, she brought out a file and shoved it towards him but Lucian was standing in between and so the file landed on his own face. "How could you frame me Ethan? Really? After everything my father and I did for you?" "What are you saying?" Alex questioned taking the file from Lucian who swallowed hard and whispered some words to him. Alex had to place himself in the shoes of Ethan and it got him perplexed even to say a word to the furious lady. He had thought everyone was scared of him but from the looks of it, this lady wasn't talk less of the secretary. "You got framed? By me? How could that be when I was literally dead?" Alex wondered to himself and thought about how he was going to end the case because he had
"How would would you do that?" Alex beckoned with probing eyes and she let out a sigh, impressed that he plans was going according to her plan.***She pulled out the stained clothes she had on, picked a bottle of gin and then lit up a secret, she stride her feet to the bathroom where she could wash off the blood stains on her.Soon, when she was done, she headed to the sitting room and switched on the tv to give a listening ear over what the press release would be for the day.The headlines were about what transpired earlier at the chvala company and from the looks of it the blame was turned over to the CEO who launched a counter attack."You screwed up Ethan, couldn't just have handle it? what's wrong with you?" she mused, groaned and bashed the gin in her hand over the table. It broke into pieces and the strong smell made her smirk.Suddenly, another sound was heard, and this time it was from her balcony, someone must have lurk in to spy. She had no weapon on her and needed to act
One would wonder how Alex got over to Evelyn's house when few hours ago, he was at the garage with Jessica. Possibly Jessica must have told him Evelyn had an important item and headed straight to the place she resided. Perhaps, he had found this woman petrified over someone and decided to give a helping hand.Evelyn scoffed and stride towards the sitting room, while he paced after her, pressuring her to hand over the item. She let out a smirk, picked a cigarette and handed another to Alex who refute, he also beckoned on her not to smoke in his presence."I don't have it" she snapped sniffing and pacing to and fro in her scattered sitting room."You're lying, hand it over! or else...""I would die either way, do you think I'm a fool?" she cuts in locking her fingers together with a frown on the face.Alex was pushed to bring out the weapon he had with him because in such scenerio, threat was needed to make sure a person surrender.She scoffed, folded her lips and nodded."That's what I
He quickly hurried to assist her but she shoved his hand away while sobbing silently.Her disappointed eyes were shut as she curled herself on the ground."I'm sorry, I never meant that" He apologized and she sniffed mumbling some words to herself."Just go away!" she barked weeping loudly as it hurt her deeply."If you just complied, this wouldn't have happened"She was silent shivering and placed a palm on her bruised cheeks."you wanted that item right!" She snarled gnashing her teeth and quivering on the floor while Alex had troubles all over his face.He didn't respond and needed to check if she was okay because those long hairs of hers was making it impossible to stare at her cheeks."It what you always do, hit me as you like!" She always falls a victim of his wrath perhaps because she had no wealthy parents supporting her and had chose to live life as an independent woman. All this man needed was someone who could benefit him."I never meant to, I just...well that was my first
"I am... Ethan" he responded and placed a bandage on the injuried arm and she squeezed out the magic word "thank you""let's be tame Evelyn, that stuff is with Natalie right?""you don't believe me right? serve yourself!" She snarled placing her palm on his chest to push him away but he held her wrist. That move of his caused her head to lean over his."Don't act rude, just be you, miss Evelyn" he beckoned unhanding her and then packed the kit in order.Evelyn smirked at him as she stood up from where she sat, no making an utterance but just wanted him to go already.Her body shifted to the bed and she covered her face with a blanket just not to meet his gaze.He was making her embarrassed for trying to seduce him, and it didn't work, now he was relenting. If only he could read her eyes or was torturing her feeling on purpose."Thank you for saving me and those officials earlier, do take care" he concluded having speculates that she needed to be alone.He was about to step out when he
The banging on the door made her jolt from the bed. Why wouldn't he just go away?A hiss crept out of her lips and when she rose to answer the door, her toes curled. Quietly, she tiptoed to the door and peeped through its hole.Who she found gave her goosebumps, it wasn't the man who left earlier but a middle age woman."Open up Natalie!" the voice yelled panting heavily as she was tensed up.Her face became sober as she flung the door opened."Give a call when you coming over!" She snapped turning her back against the woman who had jumped inside and slammed the door."Oh my God Natalie, I met Ethan!" she proclaimed catching her breathe."So?"Obviously, why would her reply that? wasn't she frighten that she meant Ethan?"What if he knows about that night?" she panic and Natalie shrugged her shoulders."We should be dead by then" she snapped with no emotions as she still had sleep in her eyes."Let's leave the country Natalie, he's dangerous"This woman slapped her chest to get a hold
"where's the device?" Lucian questioned yanking her hair and she let out a groan while Alex motioned on him to stop. He was against violence on someone especially women.Vera trembled where she stood as she glanced at her younger sister who was in pain. Alex strides closely to Natalie, she was still standing and glaring at him, while her hands struggled from the grip of the men who had held her arms, side by side."Natalie?" he murmured again, staring into her nervous eyes balls but then vera ran and stood in front of him while going on her knees."Please, I will hand it over, just don't hurt her!" she cried and Alex lowered his gaze at the woman who was pleading."No! don't sister!" Natalie warned and Lucian grappled her throat almost choking her from speaking, so as not to intervene.He shuddered at how Lucian held her tightly, wondering if Lucian was going to choke this girl to death. He had to sink his heart inside, if he wants to act like the Ethan everyone regarded him as, espec
The shower head poured out water on him as he rubbed his sweaty hair, while bathing, he recalled what transpired earlier at Natalie's house. A sigh left him haven telling himself the decision he made was the best. He had beckoned on Lucian not to kill anyone since he was in control but how comes he ordered Lucian to kill them?Actually, the truth was that, there were no bullets in the guns those men had, and he just made that statement to frighten the ladies. Only that Natalie of a girl wasn't scared to die.He had to threaten them not to venture into illegal dealings, because it could be dangerous and never to mess with a guy like him. Even though saying that to these ladies who were older made him flinch inside, he had to summon courage to leave a threat behind.Alex wondered if his threat was good enough, because if he were in their shoes, he would definitely think of it as a child's play. He was bothered over the fact; on how he could be dangerous and at the same time calm when re
