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
An act of self defense they would say, but will society accept it that way? It was certain he would be looked upon as a murderer.He shivered where he laid but then felt a warm hand on his head, a second hand patting him on the back as though not to worry.Alex was confused about the reaction he was feeling, over who this person could be. It was obvious he had a nightmare with the way he writhe, shivered and cried.But all of a sudden, a warm hand made him relax! He gradually opened his eyes to take a look at who it was and surprisedly, it was Natalie, faking a smile.He shuddered and hauled her hands away from him because he was feeling unease around her. What was she doing over there this early?Wow! How was she going to explain her side of the story on how she got here? Wasn't she meant to be away gathering the mobs?Her fake smile made him stun that he jerk from the stretcher and sighed. She shoved her hands away, gnashed her teeth and said;"I thought you were awake,...I well cam
"News?" Alex beckoned with a terrified gaze at her. What news couldn't wait until sunset?"Yes, Lucian had solved everything sir" she declared pushing herself with the chair metres away from him."That's great news, I see why you couldn't wait" he declared with a sad face. He didn't show any sign of excitement as he still felt goosebumps, seeing her around."Where's Lucian? He's meant to be here too" Alex added not wanting to ask her why those hands of hers were on him earlier."Work sir, he still has to explain to the executives that you're unwell and won't be attending any conference call" she explained broading a smile and gulping.She was praying hard for him to just say; "you may leave" however, that prayer wasn't answered as he made her run errands.What the hell? This was more like punishment, as she was made to get him meals which he dislikes once a minute passes.The grocery shop was a long way down and how does he expect her to be quick as a flash?Never had she walked that
