Steve Wilson froze from within, and ice, instead of blood, flowed through his veins. “What did you say?” He voiced out “Take it down now. Hurry.”“I was on it right before I called. I just thought you should know.” He replied, and Steve Wilson ended the call.He went straight to the media on his phone. It had soared to the number one search term in just a couple of hours. He clicked on the video, and watched, ignoring the water drops from his hair, falling onto his screen. The video looked bad. It looked worse than it had actually been, and the ladies screaming didn't make it any better. The shares were massive, and comments were overflowing already underneath the video.What the heck? Is that a product they're intending to serve to us?Gateway to hell. That's what they're making.They're not making this for us, are they?They should be shut down! Did that man just get hit? Did he get injured? This is dangerous. Their license should be revoked.If the man gets injured, let's all m
“Set up a meeting with the different team leaders of each department. I need to address a brief issue.” Steve Wilson said to Daniel, fixing his watch, as they exited the meeting room. “Right now?” Daniel asked, keeping up the pace with Steve Wilson.“In two hours’, time. Get everyone ready.” Steve Wilson replied, and loosened his tie as he made his way to his office. Surprisingly, Regina was there, looking around at the portraits, with two bags in her hands.“Regina.” He called in surprise, and she got up from the sofa, a smile spreading on her face.“I hope I'm not disturbing you. I just… You know, you didn't eat before you left. I know how stressed you were when you returned from work yesterday. So, I just got snacks, and stuff.” She said, taking out burgers from the bag she brought, and a can of Sprite. “I was rushing because I didn't want you to be in the thick of work when I showed up. You have some time to grab a few bites, right?” She asked, and opened a little plate. “I got
The next day, Steve Wilson went to see the executive in the hospital. He had been unable to see him the previous evening because he was sleeping, and didn't want to interrupt his sleep. The executive was sitting up, watching the news when Steve Wilson came in.“Sir.” He said, trying to get to his feet, but Steve Wilson stopped him.“How are you feeling?” Steve Wilson asked, and placed the fruits he got for him on the little table over his legs. “I’m sorry. I…”“You're sorry? That was none of your fault.” He said, trying to make him feel at rest.“A reporter came by and saw me injured.” The executive said, feeling like he had made things worse.“Oh yeah, that reporter? He came to threaten me.” Steve Wilson said, with a laugh. “What? How dare he?” He spoke, with his brows, raised.“Let him be. Just focus on your health.” “I'm healing already. It was a deep gash, but the drugs and minor sewing which they did, made me feel much better than yesterday. Even if he speaks to the public, I
“Your wife whom no one knows about, is in our custody, and I can’t guarantee how long she is going to live.”Steve Wilson’s heart raced as he read the message. He couldn't quite make sense of it, as his mind went blank. His thoughts were in his head like scattered pieces. Who could have dared to abduct her? Why? The message included an address, but he didn't bother checking it yet. First, he needed to confirm that this wasn't some sick prank or a trap. He felt that it could just be some people thinking they could bait him into walking into their trap.Steve Wilson quickly dialed his wife’s number, tapping his feet impatiently, but it went straight to voicemail. His anxiety spiked. “Why wasn't she answering? It couldn't really be that she was taken, could it?” He thought to himself, then tried calling over and over, but the result stayed the same. Panic set in."Step on it!" He urged his driver, his voice firm, but laced with worry. "I need to get home as quickly as possible." He add
Regina was in her home, thinking about all the progress that had come into hee life, ever since she met Steve Wilson.She was willing to keep him by her side, for as long as she could, and more importantly, when she had gained all she needed from him.“Here are the fruits you asked for, ma'am.” A maid said to her as she handed over the tray of fruits to her.“Thanks. I'm expecting a friend of mine, today, so when she comes, lead her to the garden. I'll be there.” Regina informed her.“Alright, ma'am.” She responded, respectfully.“Good.”Regina rose to her feet with the tray of fruits in her hand, and then headed to the garden.She had made other maids to prepare the garden, the way she wanted it, and in an atmosphere that would encourage the conversation between her and her friend.It had actually been a while since she saw her friend, because she had travelled out, and the last time her friend saw her, she was in a level, lower than her current one.Although, she wasn't planning to b
Steve Wilson opened his eyes, and the first thing he set his eyes on was the ceiling. He was about to question himself to know where he was, but even before he could think about that, the smell of a hospital had hit him.There was no one who wouldn’t know the sick smell of a hospital, except they had never been in one, before.Although, it was confusing how he got here, as he couldn’t recollect any memory that made him understand how he got here, but he was glad that he was away from that ugly scene.While he was trying to remember what had happened, the door slid open, and Daniel walked in.“You’re awake.” He said, looking relieved.“Yes, I am. How did you find me?” Steve Wilson managed to make his voice, audible.“I was able to track your car. Your car has a device on it that whenever it has been hit, really bad; probably another car run into it, or you ran into a wall or a tree, it would send an emergency to the tracking system. Fortunately, I was still on the laptops, checking out
As Daniel set his eyes on Adrian, he scoffed, and walked up to him, maintaining the same pace he had, while walking, before he saw him. Adrian could already tell that Daniel was pissed, because despite that he had seen him, he wasn’t increasing his pace, neither was he acting interested in seeing him.“So, you finally remembered me. Or you were passing by, and you were reminded that you had told me you would be back for me.” Daniel uttered, speaking like a truly vexed teenager.“Look. I know you must have felt disappointed, back then, but I was occupied with so many things, and that’s why I couldn’t reach out to you. And to show that I really have you in mind, I came back.” Adrian uttered, hoping Daniel was going to consider his plea.“Hmmm. I thought you had left, just like everyone else.” He uttered, looking a bit sober.Then Adrian knew just what to do at that moment, so, he moved closer to Daniel, and gave him a tight hug.He knew that Daniel must have felt really devastated, and
Adrian had to quickly interfere, before they would take any action.“Why are you accusing him of thievery? He didn’t steal anything, did he?” He questioned, defending Daniel.Daniel tugged at his shirt, gently, trying to say something to him, but Adrian ignored him, having an idea of what he wanted to say.“I don’t know if he stole something here, but for him to be here, then he is about to steal something.”“I came with him, and I’m shopping for him, so, do not raise false alarm.” Adrian urged.“Oh. He probably scammed you into doing this for him. What did he say is going on with him? That he needs to pay his mother’s hospital bills, or he got lost? Or he has people chasing after him? Or he has a disease?”The man was beginning to act annoying to Adrian, and he wished he could just give him a punch, so he could keep shut.“This young boy has changed. He does none of the things you mentioned.” Adrian tried to explain, but he was interrupted by the cops who walked into the store.“Who
