The creeping sound of feet hasten towards where a chest laid. Its hands unbuckled the lock and quickly sprang it open."What a relief"A minute after those words were uttered, a loud bang was heard and stomping feet's became louder "Where's Natalie?" A voice rang through her ears, filling the room with anger, which emitted with desire to kill and truly, this being was going to rip her off if she desires has the item with her.The latter in question was at the rooftop, thinking of a possible way to come out. But that wouldn't work because she had to climb down and might end up meeting them.Her hands were still on the chest, and she didn't want it to be handed over to the wrong hands; because she couldn't afford losing all what she worked hard for."What do I do?" Natalie mused and then shuddered as she perceived that they were scattering her house for the item.Her body was stiff to where she sat attempting not to alert them if she makes a sound.Perhaps, Rodger was already suspecting
The doorbell rang and a maid hasten to get the door. It was the delivery man and she wondered what took him so long to arrive.The delivery man explained that there was a break down of the car and he needed to fix it."I would need Mr Ethan's signature" the young man beckoned bringing out a paper which he could sign.However, the maid did that on behalf of her boss. She didn't want to disturb him that early in the morning.Alex yawn as he strides outside his room only to be greeted by a large box which he would have almost kicked if he have looked clearly."Oh, it has arrived" he thought and tried to lift it but couldn't."Wow, so heavy" he affirmed, grimaced at the box, and called out to a servant; who could join hands with him to get the box inside.He had ordered for musical equipments, he was getting bored over searching and solving problems rather than enjoying his prime.Today, he had planned to go sightseeing, anything relating to the original owner of this body he possessed co
AT RODGER'S HOUSEHe could be seen preparing to head out, when his phone rang. It was his mother calling to ask how far he has gone, in the search for the item."I have sent a spy over her house, but it seems someone else had attacked her" he reported taking his wristwatch from his bed, which he intended to put on."Did you question her if she has it?""Even if she does, do you think she would open up to us? Even she knows what that single button could perform"The old lady contemplated over what he said, but then suggested that her stepson must have duplicated the item and hid it somewhere just to fool them.Mrs Anna mused on the phone and told him to pay a visit to his stepbrother just to confirm her presumptions."Why mother? I don't want to have mutual relationship with...""Shut up fool!" Her voice muffled on the phone as she narrated to him that it was best to keep the enemy close.Rodger scoffed and told her they were after the item and all that belongs to him not to build up a
“What are you here for?” Alex asked as he realizes that Rodger had been silent for a while.“Just curious about your health” he responded, faking a smile and gazing around.“I am doing fine, thanks for your care” Alex muttered studying the room if perhaps Natalie might be close by, but she was nowhere to be found.“About the company, how's it going” Rodger asked and Alex's response was that he should try visiting the company if he desires to know its welfare.Rodger scoffed at his reply. He undeniably knew how to be sweet and tough at the same time. This new attitude of Ethan was hilarious to him.“I guess you've heard about the vital item?” Alex began scrutinizing Rodger, who licked his lower lips subconsciously and then smirked at him.“Why do you ask?”“Just curious” Alex responded, crossing his legs over where he sat. He narrowed his eyes at Rodger, whose eyes were going to and fro.“Heard it went missing…”“Wow…news are sure to spread fast, if I could recall, only Lucian, Natalie
Alex switched off the light and drew closer to the petrified Rodger, who could now stare at him in the eyes.“What are you doing here?”That question again! This time around, Rodger had to give a convincing reason, but then Natalie suddenly appeared behind him and scolded Rodger.“You? Haven't I told you this was the wrong room? Why do you keep assuming this was your room?”Alex gazed at them both and demanded an accurate explanation of what was going on.“Well Alex, I intended to take a look at my room one more time before leaving, only to discover someone else inside” he mused with a straight face.“Why didn't you ask me? Why do you have to do it in secret”“Exactly, who are you? He could be a thief boss” Natalie added and Rodger scoffed, indicating that he was the stepbrother to her boss.She added to the fact that he kept asking her what she was doing in room and had tried raising an alarm before he decided to leave.“That's because you wouldn't allow me, I was scared though” Rodg
At last, he found the file belonging to Rodger and realized it was an agreement on the ownership of a company.This was so unfair, why would Ethan take away all that Rodger had? Could there have been a conflict between the two?Everything was quite complicated, and he needed Lucian to break it down for him. He sat on the floor close to his desk, and thud his hands on the ground trying to reason hard if possibly some flash of Ethan's memory would lurk it, but there was nothing.It seems like Ethan's memory comes at its will, and it got Alex perplexed. The young lad read through other agreement papers to see for himself the kind of alliance he went through with them.Most of the agreement papers were concerning properties and formation of alliance. The more he read, the more he got inclined in knowing this Ethan.Alex began to trace around a big shelf over there just to get more facts about Ethan. He slashes down the book on the shelves, intending to find any item concealed.His eyes tr
She gazed at him, wondering why he had been speechless and sober. Her boss hadn't attended the urgent meetings and conferences set up.He had just been seated on his executive seat, exhausted and lost in thoughts. Every schedule for the day had to be postponed.His personal assistant stood beside him, silent also as he was. She had handed him Rodger's address as requested this morning, but he only stared at the paper she wrote it in and winced.“Boss, would you mind taking a break off?” Natalie asked out of concern, but Alex only beckoned on her to be quiet.She gulped and stood still, desiring to read his mind. What happened last night suddenly eluded her memory. Natalie whimpered and then shut her eyes.“What kind of person was I? A monster? A demon or just a bloodthirsty revenger?” He suddenly spoke. There have been word from his lips and now that he had finally unmuted, he was asking a question.“I have no idea…”“That's a lie, Natalie, tell me!” He barked and she shuddered, stepp
Lucian served Evelyn coffee as he kept silence to her offer. If she could propose such words, it could only mean she knew what his true agenda was.“What made you change your mind? You were all over heels for him…”“Lucian, don't act like you have no idea, I can't just leave Ethan who had made my life miserable” she mused frowning at the cup of coffee set before her.Lucian scoffed, everyone wanted revenge, but who was ready to forgive?“How about the other ladies?” Lucian asked, narrowing his eyes at her as the steam from the coffee hovered all over his face.“I don't care about them, I guess they would still be stucked to him” she responded, swallowing hard. Evelyn was becoming tensed with the way Lucian stared at her.“They could be our greatest weapon to pulling him down, I got my men to raid Natalie's house, and they confirmed she ran away with it”“So where's she?” She cuts in, intrigued by what Lucian was passing across.“I'm not convinced, but my speculations revolves around E
