Seeing that Conor had left, it was left with Alara and Dustin. Although tobin had called that he was already around.“I'll go ahead and bring him here.” Alara said to Dustin, then went on to find tobin.Dustin was alone and as if Alara did indeed knew he wanted to remain alone! How was it that Mr. Whales, whom he trusted the most, was actually lying to him. How can he make Ezra work for him, and then lie to him like that! It wasn't fair!He heard muffled voices and when he raised his head up, he saw Alara and tobin lost in an argument. When they saw the worrisome expression on his face, they kept quiet and took their seats.“Okay this place has been reserved. Also, I've secured the whole environment so whatever we say can't be heard outside.” Dustin said as soon as they took their seats.“I filled him in already, on our present situation. It's quite sad actually.” Alara said.Dustin frowned. “Why is that?” he asked Alara.“Because Ezra already gave us a few tips. Or rather, news.” tob
“So you met my son and became friends? Conor isn't always that friendly to everyone.” Mr. Whales said as soon as they began to eat.“Oh but that's where you're wrong. Conor was very nice to me even at first sight.” Dustin replied.“Conor was nice to you? Ha. Guess you're right and I don't know my own boy anymore.” the older man said.Conor looked down on his plate. He couldn't take it any longer. “He's right dad. You don't know your own son. But then,” he turned to meet Dustin's face, “my dad is also right.”“What do you mean?” Alara asked, taking another bite from her chicken.“I mean, I was rude to him. Very rude actually. And it was because he had a kind heart and he saved me from Ezra’s men that I became nice and sweet to him. Which in my defense, is wrong.” He said.“That's not important right now. What is, is that you were able to bring me to your dad. You see, we have been really trying to connect with him, to meet with him for a long time now.” Dustin said, still sending side
For two days straight, Dustin was not his normal self. How could he be, after what had happened with the only man he could have ever trusted? Conor tried reaching him but he was too afraid to even pick his call. Even he blocked out Alara from his life. He just needed to be alone.“Sir, you need to let us in.” Alara had said to him the day before.“I know what I need to do, Alara. But I just can't. I need to be alone.” He said back. He was right. No matter how good he tried to pretend he was alright, he wasn't. He just wasn't.“I understand that sir. But Conor sees you like his big brother now. And you are family, aren't you? You need to let him realize that his dad is bad. And you're the good guy.” Alara said softly, trying to convince him. “His dad would have came up with all sorts of lies, or he just wouldn't say anything at all, which can be equally worst. I just need you to be strong sir. For us, the people who still care about you.” she said at last.Dustin remembered every last
“Hello sir, we're ready to leave.” Said Alara from outside. Dustin felt bad she would have to see Laura inside.He felt bad about how awful things have been because of him with Alara. All because of his reckless sad sad feelings for his ex wife who treated him bad.He took one last look at Laura and then back to the door and finally opened up.Alara walked in as well as Bobby and Vincent, not even noticing Laura. “Hello sir, Vincent and Bobby here, happy to help…” then that was when she saw her.Laura had even made her presence noticed before Alara could notice her by humming a song.She looked at him with her brows arched up high as if to ask him: “Sir? What the hell is this woman doing here??” He felt like got the question straight and direct and took her outside. “I know this sounds and looks bad, but she just appeared out of no where! I promise you–”“No it's your personal business sir. I don't have to pry in it. I understand.” Alara said and it made him raise a brow and squint h
They all settled inside now. Alara was smart enough not to ask Dustin anything.“Okay, let's see if we can track -” Dustin said but his minions were already ahead of him.“We're tracking a place not so far to New city.” Vincent said.“All the way to New city? How are we going to even start looking? Before we get there, I wonder whey would have happened by then.” Dustin said “We have some other guys there right now as we speak, trying to locate the area.” Alara said, not exactly looking at Dustin directly in the eyes.“But once they're already there, I don't want Ezra doing anything to upset us by trying to harm them. They need to be on the look out alone, not to tamper with anything or face anyone.” Dustin said.“Alright, I'll tell them now sir. We need to pass on the new order.” Vincent said to Bobby.“Meanwhile, we need to be on our way now. Alara, you'll need to stand by. If things should by any means go haywire, I'll need you to call Mr. Whales at once.” Dustin said “Alright sir
Dustin had a lot of things to do that morning. After the whole escape plan of Conor, he and Mr whales had not seen each other, but now he wanted to pay a visit to his apartment.“Hey careful with that vase..it's imported.” He said to one of the men helping him clean his house. He would not let someone like Mr. Whales look down on him so easily. Even though his house wasn't a mansion, it was beautiful enough. “Sir the whole dish for the day is ready.” a maid said to him and he nodded to her as if in approval.“Thank you Sarah. You're the best. And what about the serving people?” he asked her.“Their also ready.” Sarah said.He said then went to his room. There were a whole lot of people already present. Dustin didn't want to tell the maids to keep a close watch on Mr. Whales and his men because he didn't want to frighten them. So instead, he had invited a few team over who would turn his room into a control room and watch the whole gathering without putting off too much suspect or ev
“Her name is Erika banks. She is actually a very influential woman, I mean I didn't know that before you know. Well, maybe Bianca was able to convince me a bit but–”“where the hell is Bianca now? Huh?” Dustin said angrily.“I know you hate her. I know she was a big influence in our misunderstandings but I can assure you that there's a reason for all of this. I know, try me.” she said. She looked a lot more at ease now as if she knew Dustin would already help her.“Okay then. What's this reason huh?” Dustin said.“Well Bianca said she has a big crush on you. She said she likes you! Can you imagine that?” she scoffed and waited for Dustin to say more. He said nothing and it made her frown. “What? Well, say something okay?”“I don't have anything to say actually. I know that you're lying okay. What do you mean by that? Bianca hates the hell out of me and now you're saying she might have a crush on me?” He scoffed.“I'm serious. She's only jealous that we're together. She tries to separa
They each gathered to their hotels. Dustin got a total of five hotels for them all, because he planed not to endanger anyone else life. “We'll leave as soon as we get a call from back home. We have to leave for the church soon. So for now, get yourselves prepared and just relax.” Dustin said to them all and they nodded.Laura made her way over to him. Somehow, Alara had been keeping her distance because she didn't to get in between Dustin and Laura. Their eyes locked for a while, and Dustin's heart skipped a bit. Finally, Laura was standing before him and she placed her hand on his chest and turned his face to look at her, averting the gaze between him and Alara. “Hey, I need to speak with you. Honestly,” Laura went on, not even caring that he had been meaning to have a moment alone or at least with Alara.“What's that?” Dustin said. Finally his attention was back to Laura. “Honestly, why can't we take the same room? I mean I know you have money and all, but I was just thinking tha
