Her toes were curled as her eyes followed him till he disappeared, the last words he said was;
"What's wrong with me"
Deep in her heart, she wished to run furthered with him, it was the first time she was really this close to a man especially this man who everyone knew as being ruthless but he was quite different from today! Her eyes met her palm which still felt his warmth from earlier when they locked hands to escape from danger.
He had beckoned on her to tie up that stranding hair of hers, so it could aid her too to see clearly and just walked pass her lamenting to himself. What made her heart melt was the fact that this man accorded with respect and even thanked her, out of the blue for offering to help him, from those after him.
His voice was so serene that it got her bothering if he was the same man from the rumors, her eyes scrutinized what he wore, his wedding dress had really become a mess that she could describe how it looked on him. However, he still charming and those alluring dark eyes of his could make anyone fall for him despite his wretched outfit. A sad smile was suspended on her lips as she glanced at the sky then the white sand which almost buried her feet. It got her wondering how she ran into this runaway groom.
"What a pervert, he truly doesn't remember that night does he?" She muttered as her gaze became agonized. Her heart thundered and she plunge her hand in her pocket, brought out an expensive watch and scoffed, then she tugged it back.
Furthermore, she packed her hair into a dough, sigh and took a different path too without giving much thought about it because she was certain he knew his way around this place.
***
He raked his hair with his fingers and limply sat on the sand, he felt like weeping because everything was tiring, where would he go from here? It got him confused why a woman in a wedding dress joined the queue of those that demanded him wanted? What if a huge ransom was placed on his head?
Possibly that could be enough reason why everyone was after him, however, he was still surprised why that strange bossy girl helped him out. He had been running in circles so he thought as every path was leading to the sea! He didn't even know his way around here but just saw a need to leave that girl alone because he was a loner who needed to carry his problems along.
"What's going on!" He yelled panting briefly as he couldn't go further in his journey but needed to take cover in this place. From the look of it, he was in an island and hiding in the forest could be risky since wild animals might devour him.
"Damn it! Where have I been brought to? The whole world's on my neck!" He groaned and began to wince, his resting feet kicked against the sand frantically, and mistakenly they fell on someone who grunt softly.
She shook off the dust from her head, hiccuped and tottered to where the anxious Alex sat. It was a drawn lady who was facing the vast ocean and attempted to stand up when she was bath with sand from the lad.
At first, he thought she was a ghost since it was dark except for the moon that acted like a guide. However, when she drew closer, he could tell she was a pathetic woman who had given her weary soul to drinking. Nevertheless, he was in trouble for provoking a drunkard. He had to apologize but she kept coming closer as though to drain his blood or something.
Her eyes were boggy, as she fought hard to get a glimpse of this man whose skin looked perfectly tone, she couldn't help but stare at his eyes which had innocence in them. She snickered while staggering close to him. As for Alex, he shifted his body backwards if perhaps she was danger he needed to refrain from.
She had beer in one hand and the other pointed hazardly at his face and said;
"Found ya!"
Alex swallowed hard, placed his hands on the sand as this drunked lady leaned her face over and giggled. He didn't want to go through the trouble of encountering another pretty lady again.
"How could I forget this face" she cried almost stumbling on him but she rolled herself over, to sit beside him while weeping. Her hand unhanded the bottle in her hand as she laughed hysterically to ease the pain in her chest but it wasn't going off.
"How dare..." She tried to speak a word at his face but her voice got choked that she had to cough out the mucus that was trapped in her throat. Alex saw this as a chance to sneak away from her but something made him stay put.
This lady suddenly leaned her head on his shoulder, closed her eyes and whispered;
"Please don't leave me again... I'm really scared"
He could see tears trickle from her shut eyes, she was mumbling something and he could tell she was falling asleep. No way! He can't be lured by this strange lady, what could he probably do?
"Hey!" He motioned shaking her to wake up and she puffed, sprang her eyes open, raised her head a bit and then chuckled with a sleepy tone This time around her head banged his chest which made him wince as he tapped her to stay conscious while questioning her where she lives if he could lead her home.
This lady's state was piteous and he felt she was suffering from heartbreaks because she kept saying; someone left her alone.
Obviously not him because she might have mistaken him for someone, couldn't this ladies tell he was their junior? Alex help her to get on her feet, she couldn't walk in this state neither could he carry her so he thought but then like a flash, he lifted her in his arms and gestured to her to lead the way.
This act of his made her heart flutter that goosebumps got her, those butterflies in her tummy hovered around with excitement but her face could tell that depression wouldn't wear off her face. She tested her head lazily on his shoulder while her lips spoke of the directions. He couldn't believe he was carrying yet another lady in his arm even when he was weary let alone walking with her! Where was the strength coming from as a minor?
There were a lot of puzzling questions that he needed to ask someone but there was no one to give him a respond.This lady kept disturbing his ears with irrelevant things as he had to bear her weight, act like a gentleman and take her destination.After a long walk, they got to an isolated place where he could see lights illuminations from windows, this place made him remember home as though he had been her before. Gently he dropped her from his arms and gestured to her to go although he gave her a warm smile which melt her heart."Come.with.me, you can.spend.the night" she snapped like though her drunken state had wear off, although her tongue felt heavy to spat the words straight as so the words had to be stress. This lady rubbed her eyes to wade off sleep but it was useless.Alex couldn't risk staying over with a total stranger as he was still pronounced wanted by public and she could betray him. One couldn't trust a stranger badly, however he needed to tell her something that migh
A sneeze erupted from his nose, that got his eyes opened, his body stiffen as he attempted to turn around but couldn't due to the pain that coarse in his body. He let out a groan, stretched his arms and then blinked his eyes.A sweet scent of lavenda and rose hit his nose that he hastily jolted up from where he laid just to figure out where he was. He glanced at his chest and suddenly screamed. His swing his head up, scrutinized this place and speculates that he was in a room.Could he be in heaven? If so, God spared his sins and gave him a special suite to stay. However, if this was heaven, then, it was his soul here. He snapped out of that thought and brought out another assertion, although they weren't relating with the situation on ground.Could this be a different trap to make him die a rosy death or perhaps die by poison? Torture? However it couldn't be in such a beautiful room. He just hoped he would wake up from this nightmare that lingered in his head because he couldn't find
At last, his stucked body came out of the bed, his strain elbow made him cuss as his back lean on the bed, distressed over what was happening.While he was lost in thoughts, the door flung open and five men in suit appeared, each giving him a bow, their serious look made him flinch that almost thought they were there to end his life."Boss, are you okay?" The first asked and he shook his head negatively while attempting to rise to his feet but the second aided him up. He almost stumbled but held the edge of the bed and sat down while taking a blanket for shield"Get the drinks, and cigarettes" the third ordered the fourth who dashed out but alex beckoned on him not to.They speculate he was behaving this way because he haven't gotten his drugs in his system, since he was addicted and if he had some, then their boss would get a hold of himself. However, he was refusing them which got these men perplexed.He could barely utter a word, only signs got him now.These men asked him what he
Making them agree with his decisions was a tough ride but he succeded. He would have passed out because of hunger, but luck might just be for him; as he got a chance to be alone. Though, they stood outside like robots waiting, until he calls anyone of them inside but he didn't care, as long as he was alone for now, he loved it. What his secretary said earlier got him thrilled to know more about this man, he was mistaken to be. He was eating ravishingly that he didn't want any thought to pop out of his head. "Must be hot tempered like the books I read" he squeezed out of his mouth which was filled up with burger and bacons. From the look of it, he would choke to death with the amount of food he stuff in his mouth. Alex coughed and flushed down the meal with milkshake and then water. This might just be paradise, but this paradise could somewhat be creepy. He belch loudly and sighed sharply while gasping for air as he was too filled up to even get up to his feet. His room became mes
He wouldn't lie to himself that he wasn't perplexed by what his secretary whispered to him.The thought that first rang in his pathetic mind was; escape, they found out. His tongue was heavy to spit out a word because he wasn't himself anylonger.This paradise was a trick and leaving quietly was all that matters."He's on his way to the warehouse, would you like to meet him? Or I should finish him off?" The secretary furthered and Alex widened his eyes at him."Who is that?" He managed to question with probing eyes that might fall out if not held back."It's Eric, the journalist""Eric? I thought he was dead? I killed him that night!"Alex suddenly grimaced as he noted that he had air his thoughts loudly to the ears of the secretary who was puzzled and tried reading meaning to what his boss says."I suggest you meet him, boss, any slight mistake could tarnish your image and for the incident yesterday, I've tackled it, so don't worry over it" Lucian declared with an indifference look a
The cold of the noon flew pass the city as a Lamborghini drove pass a company which stood elegantly in the city centre. It made a halt at the entrance of the building and its doors flung open.The media personnels which stood in wait by the entrance flooded the car at once as the occupants of the car could barely step out. The place was becoming rowdy as journalist pressed further to grab something vital while here.Instantly, some bouncers joggled towards the mob of news press and shoved them aside from the car. Like a suspense before their eyes, two pairs of shoes stepped out. Soon, the being came out in his full figure.Flash lights flooded his face, he had a stern look and didn't seem impressed by what was going on. His was dressed in wealth which could tell he was an elite in the society."Mr Rodger, is the accusations laid upon you true?" A journalist screamed and soon other questions began trooping in. The bouncers created a pathway through their midst and to make barriers to p
Her eyes scrutinized the area, nervousness filled her face as she intended to sneak out through the exit door but the security around were tight that she could barely escape.Instantly, she made a U-turn and took the route meant for the elites of this company but it was heavily guarded, hence she needed to derail for another path."What do I do?" She mused panicking and searching her brain for an idea, though none was popping through. This girl couldn't afford to be caught after all the stress she went through to get what she ventured for over here. Her feet race through the stairs and in a bide to escape being caught, she mistakenly bumped into someone making a jewelry fall from the pouch which hung across her shoulder to the waist.Quickly, she collected it from the ground and hide it along with her face from being recognized. Her teeth gnashed against each other as she pretended nothing happened and intended to walk pass him but this man was like a barrier for her to move through.
"what's going on?" A voice cried in the dark and Alex had to stand up while assuring that everything was going to be fine and he needed to check what was going on.The young lady beckoned on them to switch on the lights on their gadget while she goes along with Alex to check what the situation was outside.Adding to the troubles was the fact that there was no network connections in this place. Something was definitely fishy and the smart ones could perceive that.Unexpectedly, a bullet flew pass where Alex stood and it burst through the curtains which caused grave panic. No one knew where they came from, but all they knew was they were in a state of emergency and anyone could drop dead.First, he needed to save everyone from this state, however, there was no plan on how he was going to do just that. Another bullet was shot and this time, it hit the shoulder of the second man seated at the left wing of this room. Everyone swiveled their at the man who fell limply on the ground."Profes
