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
The stroking sound of a wood could be heard coming from a warehouse, inside was a man covered with injuries as he was almost stroke to death by a plank.They were two men stroking him and they had to stop on their boss's command."You failed to kill him again, remember, I said when the news goes wild, you end Ethan""It...feel...like... he's surrounded by luck...I shot him thrice at the same... spot" he stressed while coughing out blood.His boss rose up from where he sat and scoff, his gaze rested on the bruised man."You know what happens when someone fails a mission right?" The boss whispered and the man quavered while begging for mercy.He explains that the chaffeur and his personal assistant was around or else he would have died."Then you would have just shot them also" he barked and the wounded man cried begging for a chance."Too late, it's time to pay for your crimes anyway, I'm doing you a favor" he mocked, and then beckoned on one of the men to hand him over a gun.Before t
