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
A knock drew his attention to the door as he was preparing to head to the office. He was knotting his tie before heading to reply whosoever was by the door.The person he met at the door gave him goosebumps. He had to narrow his eyes at this person who held a bouquet of flowers like though proposing to him.“Hi brother”Rodger was still unsure if it was his stepbrother he was seeing and if it were him, then it meant trouble had drawn close.“E.t.h.an?” Rodger stressed, and then glanced around if he came with anyone, but he was all alone and flowers were for him.“What brings you here?” He furthered, and Alex said;“Wouldn't you let your brother inside?”“No, what do you want from me?” Rodger protested, slamming the door behind him and drawing near to Alex.There was no way he was letting his stepbrother inside because his presence wasn't welcome. He only remained calm on his stepbrother, because of his mother.“Reconciliation” Alex declared and Rodger ducked his head at him. Did he ju
She was whined when she arrived at his mansion. The wearied lady glanced at her watch and then at her boss's study room.That was the place they were to meet after her research for today, but it seems he was delaying.Natalie shook her head negatively and intended to leave when she bumped into Lucian. He made her shudder rather than apologizing.His glare at her caused her to wince in silence as she stepped a distance away from him, but he said;“What's your plan with him?”Natalie scoffed, attempting to look brave in his eyes but deep inside her, she was panicking.“Why do you want to know? It's between my boss and I” she snapped, crossing her arms and praying Alex shows up quickly.Lucian narrowed his brows at her and furthered in his interrogations.“I know you have that control…”“Hold on, why do you guys keep blaming me over a remote button which I have no idea about?” She cuts in with an innocent gaze, and Lucian mocked her.He knew this girl would act like though she was innoce
Natalie thought of a way to come up with an excuse just not to come along with Alex; however, it was effortless and somehow, Lucian attributed in making her leave with Alex.Besides, the table would be turned to his favor if they leave. Immediately he saw that they were gone, he rushed to Natalie's room, got a master key and then got inside.He began his search from beneath her bed and then anywhere possible that she could have hidden such a control button.Meanwhile, while Natalie and Alex had ridden a distance from the mansion, she suddenly said;“I have the control button”Alex who was focused on the jotter she had handed over to him. This list had the names of people who were close with Ethan when he was still a lad.He shifted his eyes and ordered her to stop driving, which she did at once.“I'm sorry I didn't inform you on time” she furthered, hoping Alex orders that they should return home to get it.“Why are you telling me now?” He asked, staring at her eyes through the rear m
He raced outside, informing the bodyguards around to get a hold of the man who just left the mansion.They shot at this person; however, it seems he knew the in and out of this mansion and found it easy to escape unharmed.The culprit had a van outside waiting for him, and he jumped into it. Alex quickly memorized the plate number before the vehicle drove away.Some of his men hurried to convey themselves into a bus and drive after him, on the command of their boss.Alex groaned and intended to check the CCTV footage around his mansion, but then Natalie had ventured outside and pronounced the name of who has it.He sighed and scoffed at her. How many more does this girl know, and she's hiding from him. Alex ordered his men to keep him on track, if they're on Lucian, while he and Natalie comes after.“Get the car started, we're chasing after him” he beckoned and raced towards the gates. Natalie nodded and hurried towards where the car was parked.For now, their argument had to cease be
