*** ***~ ~ Few hours earlier ~ ~They had just finished cleaning the restaurant, everything was as good as new, although they still have few goods that was going to be shipped in later in honor of the restaurant. Alina didn't want to spend too much, since her only source of money is the money the CEO of Nolvani gave her few days ago which suspiciously, no matter how much she took, the money doesn't seem to go down.She made a mental note to go visit Asher later in the hospital, tomorrow and also help Eleanor overcome whatever experience she's had in the hospital.Earlier today, she'd seen the look on Eleanor's face as she watched her enter. The look really tore at her heart."Are you listening?" Olivia asks,Alina blinks back to reality. "Sorry, I was gone for a second, what was it you said?""Um.... It is more like a favour." Olivia muttered, it had taken her a great deal to get it out the first time. She needs a family, and asides from knowing her half brother is a murderer, she
*** ***At twenty two, he already thinks of himself as useless, worthless, waste of space on earth.His blue eyes glowed angrily, he had cut his hair to the lowest in preparation for what he is about to do. His muscles peeked from under the shirt he wore, he used to love boxing and exercising, but none of it is going to matter anymore.Ethan paced around, his eyes bloodshot red and his face hard and emotionless, his hands fisted tightly into a ball. He was a medical student, but was given a notice to drop out of school today due to the illegal activities he has been into.He had been selling and distributing drugs in school. He collected his drop out letter afraid of how he is going to face his parents. That was the the only trouble he was in, the cartel he is working for were also searching for him, he was duped by a no name person and the dealer doesn't believe him, they're asking for his life or money.Suddenly, his mind flooded with regret. If only, if only he had listened to his
*** ***Zara stopped by in the evening by Alina's apartment, putting asides all her dislike for the environment. She needed to confirm if Olivia was just pulling her legs.She rang the doorbell, looking around for any sign of Olivia."Hey!" Alina welcomed her with a smile, swiftly hiding her frown. She was surprised to see Zara on her doorstep."What's up? What are you doing here?" Alina added.Zara pushed past her, entering the living room. She sighs in relief when she caught no sign of Olivia. "Crazy girl! She was just joking!" Zara muttered under her breath."Why are you looking around like you are searching for something?" Alina asks."Oh... It's nothing." Zara replies with a smile."I am kind of busy, do you need help with something?""Is it bad to come visit my friend?" Zara retorts back."We both know you Zara, you never come somewhere unless you have something to say.""I came here only to say hi and I'll soon be on my way." Zara added sweetly, too sweet to Alina's notice."I
*** *** ***~ ~ Futuere unanimous club ~ ~"Who called for this impromptu meeting again?" Mr G asks."It's me!" Mr Morbian announces."Do you have another problem?""No... Not really..""Why then, did you call for the meeting?""Because of the Fotin family." Another member stated."Are we to kill the last standing member or what?" Mr G frowns."I'm guessing you have not seen the news." Another member said."What's in the news?"A member stands and goes to give Mr G his tablet to watched the saved video of the news.Inside, Mr G was fuming, he has talked more than he bargained since he became a member of the club."So?" Mr G passed the phone back, "Just the words of a brother mourning, so?"All members exchanged glances, including Mr Morbian."Adams Fotin just declared war on us, he must know we are the ones."Mr G laughed humorlessly, "I didn't think all of you were dumb. How would he single out this club when there are 5 million people in this state alone, not to talk of the country.
*** ***" 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
