The car came to a halt at Jessica's apartment and Natalie hurried up to get the car opened for him.Alex adjusted the shirt he had on, stayed calm and beckoned on the girl he found by the doorstep if Jessica was around.The child scrutinized the man in front of her and suddenly ran inside. Natalie was behind wondering what next scene would be created.She must say, her first day at work is just honorifics. Alex shoved his face at her and asked;"Do I look scary?"His PA gave a him a positive reply and it made him sigh. But then why did the little girl run away on sighting him? While he was lost in his contemplations, an old man approached him with a grumpy face."Ethan?" The old man mused counting the steps before him to reach the young man."Yes?" Alex responded clearing his throat and shifting his gaze to the old man. He gave a bow In a courtesy way and the old man scoffed."Get in, we've got serious issues to discuss" the old man snapped and Alex gulp. Seriously? He wasn't here for
Once she was done making the call, she hurried back. Beckoned on her boss that she was done eating and they took a ride to Evelyn's house.He got a negative report at her house, which made him stress out."Who could have gotten in?" She reasoned with him and all he could do was shake his head, disappointed."How about the CCTV footage?" Evelyn pressed on. He explained that they found nothing and only had Sophia walking in late at night."All of the footage?""Yes Evelyn" he cussed pacing to and fro. Since his arrival he haven't taken a seat and was just worried."Who do you think would want to have it?" Evelyn interrogated and his reply was;"Everyone, everyone is after that stuff stucked in the chest which I have no knowledge of""I'm aware of that, you don't need to remind me, have you sent some of your men to look into it" "Yes, I haven't heard a news from them yet"Evelyn drew close to him and pat him gently on the back. She had to beckon on him to relax or his blood wouldn't flo
Natalie gazed at her hand, the phone she had was beeping loudly. Where she stood, she could hear some employees gossiping and trembling about something.Her legs stood behind her bosses door, just Incase he needed any attention. It was her first day at work and so, she needed to do her best not to be kicked out by this mood swinging boss of hers who was so unpredictable.The Ethan she knew of, his actions could be determined by his employees and those close to him. He was a mafia afterall which meant ever wrong was right to him.It was through some pokenosers that she learnt about the current situation Alex was passing through. The bemused girl had to answer the phone call in a hast."I couldn't, but I had a reason why" she snapped immediately a question was thrown at her by the caller."You must have heard what's on the news, it seems fate is on our side" the voice mumbled over the phone and Natalie squints her eyes."That certainly means his death has to be place on halt" Natalie mu
wait up Lucian!" A voice called at the man who was in a hast to leave. It was an employee who perceived it was a perfect time to speak with the secretary."I'm busy" he snapped but then the employee hastily tuck a card into Lucian's breast pocket and grinned."Play your part well" he muttered in devious manner and attempted to go but then Lucian hauled him back.He pulled the card from his breast pocket and tore it into shreds. Lucian glared at the man before him."Tell Rodger, I'm not interested" he snarled and dumped the pieces into the employee's opened palm."Why do you stick to that man always?" Jimmy, the employee asked and Lucian scoffed."No can tell if a sheep turns out to be the wolf" he whispered and bounced away.Jimmy was marvelled by the parable this man just said and he tried relating to what he meant. It wasn't even similar to the question he asked. He quickly communicated on the phone to the man who sent him to deliver the card to Lucian."He's proving stubborn" he be
"Wake up! Please! Alex!"Those words made his ears tingle as the voice seems similar to his mother. Hot tears dropped on his face causing his body to quaver."Could he be back home?"He tried opening his eyes but they were shut, he tried moving his hands, but they weren't moving! His body was stiff that he couldn't make a sound. It could only be that he was paralyzed.His ears could hear the holter monitor beeping slowly. His body was hypersensitive that any touch made him shiver."Alex, please stay alive for me, I'm so sorry!" The voice cried and he heard other voices crying in the background.How comes they call him his real name? Wasn't he referred to as boss or Ethan. Soon, he heard a voice which his mind read could be a doctor say;"He's in a vegetative state, it would be advisable you give him rest""Alex, I love you, please don't go yet" that same voice which sounded like his mother pleaded while implanting a kiss on his forehead.There was silence in a short while and he could
Natalie bashed inside with fright as she alarm the others that Alex had fallen unconscious again! It led to another panic but in the meantime, the girls were dismissed.She was left alone with him, worried though that he shouldn't die yet. The secretary had left to attend to the crazy girls outside who were still arguing outside.Her hands were pinned together while her eyes stared at him waiting for those eyes of his, to rise and gaze upon her."Don't die now, you owe me alot" she mused frowning at him and he suddenly said;"You just resumed today, and you're bad at driving"Natalie jerked from her seat startled. Was he awake all this while that she had been here? How pathetic because she didn't expect him to reply!Alex spun his eyes open and a sigh escaped his lips. It got him weary that the noise caused by those ladies could result to an earthquake.Where did Ethan ever get them from? A silent hiss left his lips and he shoved his face to the bemused Natalie who he responded to, se
It was quite disturbing, to be questioned in that kind of situation. His breath was almost sinking as all he thought of was been brutally killed by this crazy woman in front of him.This was beyond imaginations and she was still smiling at him."Why do...y.o.u...want...me...dead?" He stammered in a shaky tone.She chuckled and winked at him, why would she want him dead?"Just joking!" She claimed and handed him the letter claiming that was what she was looking for before the equipments came out.He sighed and collected the letter, although with doubts and fear. His hands refused to open it and so, he requested her to do so."Alright, let me read it aloud, mother sent it specially for you" she teased giggling again.Whenever she does that, he feels his heart has stop breathing for a moment. Alex murmured to himself, couldn't her mother just make a simple call rather than sending a deadly letter.She sat beside him, about to open the letter, for Alex, he had to shift a bit just Incase t
The letter she read had warning on him that he would die if he doesn't fulfill her demands, afterall, her parents were the most affluent of them all.She didn't care if he was going to get married to Sophia, all that matters is that he was always there for her.He would say that letter was more like a threat from her mother and it was concerning the way he treats her.Presently, she was going to be living with him, how would he handle that? It was so tiresome but he had to believe in himself that he could handle her.Whose parent would let their daughter stay in such a man's house? Really, some wealthy parents could be something else. Just for buisness, they could sell their children off.Of course with the way her expression and tone was, she got him more scared. It seems all his life was going to be crown with fears because he wasn't one who could muster courage just yet.Luckily for him, he slept soundly because of Natalie who had saved the day for him against those unwanted visito
