*** ***" you are looking different from when you arrived at the lake." Ethan pointed out instead.Ryan sighed loudly n relief, glad that it was a stranger that helped him out."Um... If you don't minds, can you get me a bit of charcoal and water paint and ice, lots of it?" Ryan asks."Ah.... I see you like a character in one of those books girls obsess about, one that have two identities."Ryan rolled his eyes at him, "Can you get it or not.""I'm not with money." Ethan stated.Ryan brings out his wallet and gives Ethan."Are you crazy? You are giving a stranger your wallet! What if I run away?""I know you won't. You have nothing to lose anyway."Ethan snatches the wallet from Ryan with a grumble and saunters off to the nearest store.Ryan rests his back against a rock, waiting for Zelda's body to reach the shore.As soon as it got to the shore, he took out his phone and almost placed a call to Asher, then he remembers Asher is still unconscious.He stands, carries the body and hide
*** ***Jonas woke up in the alley with a groan.Events of the day rushed back to him."You sly b@stard!" He swore under his breath, standing up."I have been looking you everywhere!" Yumi exclaimed, appearing from no where, you just disappeared on us."I had a big fish to catch. I saw that detective from the window.""Does he know anything about where Trish is?""His stupid ass is hiding her from me, can you imagine!""Take it easy, let's go back to the hotel and treat your wounds." Yumi says calmly, helping him walk to the other side of the road, where their hotel sat.Jonas had just been staring out the window when he saw reporters crowded around Adams, the very guy he has been looking for."Found anything yet about the imposter?" He asks."No, not yet. We are still looking into it. It's like the person disappeared without a trace." Yumi said in awe, "He is damn good in covering his tracks.""There has to be a loophole somewhere, search for it.""I'm tried, but this person is perfe
*** ***"He's as harmless as teddy bear, he does hurt." Ryan mutters."Until he becomes Chucky? No thanks, I'll pass." Harry scoffs.Ryan sighs and head out, Harry locking the door behind him instantly.Ryan went to the mens' room, knowing Ethan would follow him. He waited till they were alone before he faced him, waving him to come over by one of the sink at the farthest part of the toilet."Okay, if you want to be like this, there are going to be few rules.""Sure boss!" Ethan's replies in a deep gruff voice.Ryan cast a quick glance at him before staring straight ahead. Ethan could easily pass as a soldier." You have to keep at least 100 metres away from me and follow at a safe distance.""Okay!""If I enter a office and I ask you to wait outside, you should and you are only allowed to check up every 20 minutes.""I have a objection." Ethan interrupts, "That's too far. Anything could have within 20 minutes.""I'll have Asher prepare a device so if at all I am in danger, you'll be
*** *** ***"I'm going out for a smoke" Adams tells Asher. It's been a week Asher woke up and the doctor in charge said he could be discharged the following day. Since he woke up, only Alina came by but he noticed Asher is always on his phone typing and smiling."From the desk of CNW, a sad news just reached us." A reporter announced from the TV, "The CEO of Glen's accessories, Dollos has been found dead."Both Asher and Adams glanced up.Asher frowned, recognizing one of the logos owned by the company. It was the same as the one on his killer's wrist."Found you." Adams smirked, he finally got the link he's being searching for. Now he's going to dig into Dollos' death and see if it's any way connected to Asher's murder attempt.It took one week but his indirect threat worked."The doctor said I can be discharged tomorrow right?" Asher asks."Yeah, why?""Convince him let me out today.""No one knows you are alive, may I remind you?""Your guards can follow me home.""Still..." Adams
*** *** ***"Austin!" Clyde called, gesturing for him to come over.,"Yes boss.,""Any news yet as to their new address?" Clyde asks. He'd ask Austin to send gifts to Hayley's parents but he heard from Hayley that they went on a vacation and he's been trying to get hold of them but to no avail."No," Austin replied, avoiding Clyde's gaze, "I haven't gotten in touch with them."Clyde frowned at him, noticing Austin's strange behavior."Are you hiding something from me?""Not really, I just don't know how to break it to you.""What's it about?""They are dead."Clyde sprang up from his seat, "Tell me this is a joke.""I'm sorry.""And you decided to keep it away from me?""I didn't know how to break it to you.""How did you know they are dead?""A family member registered their death, a fifth cousin or something."Clyde collapse back into his seat."Are you going to tell Miss Hayley or should I do it instead?" Austin asks, silently praying Clyde says he'll announce it himself."Not a wo
*** ***"Is there anywhere you want to go to?" Devin asks as they packed Alex's belongings from the hospital.They had somehow successfully avoid his father as suspiciously, Mr Morbian hadn't made a move on them.Alex knew he can't be too relaxed especially when it comes to matters concerning his father."I'm going home, my villa. I can't risk being seen by my father.""Do you need me to hire men for you?""Nah... I'll be fine. There's no threat if father isn't aware of where I am."Devin nods, "Alright then. I'll just grab few of my things and stay with you.""About that?" Alex makes eye contact with Devin, "I would rather be on my own for now.""Huh?" Devin frowned, "A...are you sure about that?""Positive. I need some alone time." Alex nods, "Go have fun, do something. Take a break from worrying about me too much. Tomorrow evening, you can come back and then we'll start worrying about what to do about my father together."Devin frowns, wondering what has gotten into his boss but he
*** ***"To take what I believe belongs to me." Mr Morbian replied. "What you believe belongs to you?!" Alex boomed, unable to believe his ears."I believe you heard me correctly.""What the heck dad!!" Alex yelled,"suddenly appeared in my house with half baked girls?? Sorry but I am not interested. I have someone I like so you will wait till I win her love over." "Incase you didn't notice." Mr Morbian smirked, nodding to the girls, "I didn't ask for your opinion."Alex glared at his father with so much hatred as the girls closed in on him, giggling.Alex jumped reaching for the drawer near his TV. He opened it swiftly bringing out a gun and pointing at himself.If he didn't know his father well, he would have pointed the gun at him instead, but knowing his father, that wouldn't faze him."I've had enough of you controlling my life!" Alex yelled.The smile wiped off from Mr Morbian face as he stood, eyes focused on his son, "you wouldn't dare!"Alex laughed maniacally, "Try me Mr Mo
*** *** ****Grandma Joan assembled the family in the dining room, giving them a hard stare.Mr Bruce cleared his throat, "Why are we here mother?"Grandma Joan glared at him, "keep quiet, I'm trying to get a moment here." She snaps."I'm not feeling too well mother." Jeffery announced."Oh my baby." Grandma Joan cooed, "Go and take a rest. I'll tell you about the meeting later on"Jeffrey smiles and walks out much to the annoyance of others. He has always been the favourite of Grandma Joan.Grandma Joan returned her attention to the others, with a sigh, glaring at her.Grandma Joan was not a happy woman, she seemed like a woman whose happiness was snatched from her. She had been working on securing a contract with the Nolvani company for months now, and the deadline was fast approaching. She had recruited her family members to help her, but so far, none of them had made any progress, even with the promise of sponsoring their vacation. She couldn't lose the bet she had made at the lea
