*** ***Asher sat in his car, watching from a far, giving orders to the gang leader. He didn't want to come out to see Alina so she wouldn't be suspicious with seeing him and Ryan together every time. Ryan's eyes caught the unmistakable car of Asher's metres away from them as they were ushered into a van to their house while the other members went another way.Ryan felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He doesn't remember collecting his phone back or anything. Alina was looking at both of them, ignoring him.Ryan took out his phone to read the message."Well played, my men are dead! I'll get back to you."Ryan turns his phone off and returns it back to his pocket.Resting his head on the head rest, giving into sleep.*** ***Adams laid the bed for Trish, after he dressed her wounds for her, then helps her to bed to sleep while he went to his study room to go through the logo and the information he has gathered. Nothing sensible has come from Mr Morbian's phone yet, so it is all beco
*** *** It's been a week since their awful incident, Olivia and Ethan weren't talking to each other which could also be said for Ryan and Alina but Ryan couldn't be bothered, not with the revenge list still in head topping by names."There's no need to follow me today," Ryan tell Ethan as soon as Alina and Olivia leaves the house."Why?" Ethan asks."I'm going to train station.""To?""Do nothing, just sit there.""Aren't you going to work out your relationship with Alina?" "No, not now at least.""Why?""She just needs time to herself.""What will I do then if I don't follow you?""Anything? Go out, have fun.."Ethan furrowed his brows at Ryan, "Or are you suspecting for drugging you?"Ryan pursed his lips, "I must admit, I did. You served me that cake.""I didn't serve Alina. I only helped the family and I wanted to be the one to serve you, look after what they serve you and all. I was just putting myself out there to be useful!!""I said I did. The past tense.""It's nothing, it'
*** *** "Your parents are dead?""What?!""I'm sorry dear."Hayley snatched her hands back, "no... No... That can not be possible, I spoke to them four days ago. They told me they went on a vacation.""Oh dear," Teresa stared at her sympathetically, "Someone has been lying to you. Your parents have been dead for weeks, waiting in the mortuary for you to set them to peace."Hayley shook her head vehemently, "No... No that can't be possible. Zara would never lie to her. Zara was the one that contacted her parents first."Zara."I'm sorry I am the one breaking the news to you, very few people know, other thought they went on a vacation too, so I can't blame you. I have to run along, take care of yourself okay?" Teresa pats her arm and walked her way.Even after minutes later, Hayley stood frozen, then the tears began to stream down her face uncontrollably, ignoring the weird stares she got."What is it?" Clyde asks her the minute she entered, walking like a zombie.She looks at Clyde li
*** ***She couldn't believe even her father has now joined them."Hey..." She called, entering the kitchen.Ryan stares at her questioningly in response."We're you really going to let me go just like that?""I wasn't going to let you die there." Ryan shrugged."So you felt signing the papers would help?""Are you okay?" Ryan asks instead.Alina frowns, "why?""I meant how are you coping after you umm..." He left the words incomplete."Olivia enters the kitchen with Ethan, ambushing them, "Are you guys ready to tell us what happened now?"Ryan and Alina shared a glance."We were abducted." Ryan said."I wanted more than that, you guys should be able to give is more than that." Olivia argued."I am sure Alina didn't suspect you of drugging her." Ethan murmured.."If I were Ryan, I would suspect you too and even have you arrested.""But you are not Ryan, so your opinion doesn't matter.""Have you met before here?" Ryan asks, wearing an amused look."No!" Ethan and Olivia chorused in un
*** ***"Hello Lucas." Mr G smirked."Lucas?" Lucas echoed back his own name, "Who is that?"Mr G smirk faltered, "Are you pretending to not know me?""I am sorry, am I supposed to know you? Who are you? If you don't tell your minions to return me back to where I was abducted, I'll have the police arrest you.""You joking... I remember you well, so I don't think all your pretense would work!""Care to explain who you are again?"Mr G held Lucas' eyes for a full minute, if it was the Lucas he knew, he would avert his gaze, but this person is bold, not backing down one bit."Fine... " Mr G backed down, "it seems I had the wrong person?""What's your name? So I can report you to the police." Lucas asks."Get him out of here." Mr G nods at Lucas, "And also keep a careful eyes on him, he added.** "He was here one minute and the next he wasn't?" Ryan asks Doctor Harry."He has been taking unsupervised walks around town, so I didn't think this was any problem.""If it was no problem, why d
*** ***Hayley arrives Alina's apartment, a murderous glint in her eyes.She had earlier called Alina for her home address before going to Zara's.She clenched her fist tightly outside the apartment, willing herself to calm down.Alina opens the door to throw away the trash and finds Hayley by the door.She gave her most welcoming smile to Hayley, hugging her excitedly.Hayley responds stiffly, following Alina into the apartment."Hayley?" Olivia asks in shock, "Olivia?" Surprise filled Hayley's features, what is going on here?""Olivia and I are living together, let's talk about you, are you fine? How's your baby and your parents?""Been a while I heard from your family as a whole." Olivia chirped in.Hayley stares at both of them looking for any signs of mock in their eyes. "Are you guys being serious right now?""Is there a problem, I noticed you are not your usual self too?" Alina said"My parents are dead and Zara lied to me and pretended to be my parents.""Oh my goodness.!" O
*** *** "Hey." Trish stops Asher's as he finished breakfast."Pretending you don't exist isn't enough for you? Do you want me to ask my boss to put more pressure on you or have you arrested?""Are you going to work?""No, the playground." Asher snaps."How are you so different now, you weren't this way.""Maybe when your brother is keeping secrets from you and decides to pretend you don't exist because of a woman, you'll understand me." Trish flinched, "it's all my fault, I'm sorry.""Why did you stop me?""I've forgotten." Trish replied.Asher rolled his eyes, "Fine, whatever.""Ash..." Adams called softly.Asher ignores both of them and goes out.He was really angry, still pissed, obviously his brother had chosen Trish over him.A human who had assisted in ruining the life of her nephew, how was he supposed to accommodate someone like that in his house.Asher sat fuming in his car, his anger simmering just below the surface. He still couldn't believe what his brother had done. He
*** ***"Are you sure we should be going there you know it is not right as rival companies." Devin asked Alex scoffs, "You know Mr Morbian, why don't you take up with him?"Devin swallows back his comment and nods, driving them towards the Nolvani company."Is everything ready?" Devin asks to be sure."I have a mouth watering offer the CEO wouldn't want to miss, it's from Russia.""Hmmm." Their car screeched to a halt outside the company."Ready?" Devin asks "As I'll ever be." Alex wore a cocky grin and makes his way to the company.Devin's smile faltered a little as he watched Alex in front of him. He has just three days left to get Mr Morbian what he wants and no matter how he thinks about it, there is no way around it. "Come on, why are you lagging behind!?" Alex snapped.Devin shakes his head but picks up his pace. They both entered the office in time to see Ryan walking towards to elevator."Stop there Ryan!!" Alex boomed, "What are you doing here?""I can ask the same of y
