*** ***"Why?" Aiya asks in her robotic voice, "I missed you.""Just for today, Aiya. I'll be back."Ryan lays Alex on the worn out breath and did a quick check up, he could see Alex's organs were failing him. He could die anytime soon. "Get me the medic tools.""Where?!" Asher asks, confused."Behind that cupboard." Ryan pointed outAsher rushed towards it and brought it out, handing it over to Ryan.Ryan opened it and brought out long acupuncture needles, putting it in certain places in Alex's body.Ryan writes a list of herbal leaves on a piece of paper, "Go behind this place, you'll get everything you need!"Asher stares at the paper confusedly, "I.. how do I know which to pluck. I know nothing about this one things."Ryan snatches the paper from Asher and proceeds to go outside."If you notice any change at all, call me! I'll be just behind this place."Asher nods and went to stand over Alex who is taking in short, ragged, painful breaths."Ryan got the leaves he needed quickly
*** *** ***Olivia opens her eyes gradually, trying to make sense of her environment. She notices she wasn't hand cuffed to the bed like the first time she woke up and she's still in the hospital, she notices. She opens her eyes fully with a smile, her plan worked! She did it!! She is finally free."Hello there." A nurse peered at her, "I see you are finally awake. How are you feeling?""I feel good." Olivia rasped out. "I need to call my parents to pay the hospital bills.""We've tried reaching out to your parents but they are not in the country presently but rest assured, your bills have been paid.""Really? By who?""A man, he said he is your brother. He also helped you do away with the police officers offering over you. They were really reluctant to leave here."" My brother??"Yes your brother. You must have a fine gentle man." "You didn't see him?""No.. I didn't. But he should come in today."Great!Olivia frowned, wondering who might be disguising as her brother. It could b
*** *** Justin hears the clucking of a gun and the next second, it's noose was kissing the back of his head. Justin swallowed loudly, "I wasn't with my phone when you called and it was on silent. I'm sorry." "Really, should test that?" Mr Anonymous asks.Justin nods, he hated he couldn't see the person he is talking to and he is in darkness. "Where's your phone?""Inside." Justin replied. Mr Anonymous places the car, a smirk on his face. "If my men so much as hears a noise, I'll take it you can't be trusted anymore."Justin nods, there was no way they are going to find out, not when the phone is with him and really on silent. The only problem now was, Zelda shouldn't make a fvcking sound.Mr Anonymous hated that Justin was calm and isn't squirming like he used to. He hates the sudden boldness, now he couldn't play with his favourite toy for long anymore."You're lucky!" Mr Anonymous said, ", Now back to business.""Yes sir." Justin squirmed.Mr Anonymous wore a big smile, perhaps
*** *** ***It was the day to finally meet his parents and yet, he has no culprit in mind, except Justin. Was it only Justin he was going to tell his parents he found. He promised them to start when he is ready and but with him now focusing on the task, they must be thinking he took everything as a joke.He allowed himself to get caught up in other things, there's no excuse for that, especially with the Bruce family.Ryan shakes his head at himself in the bathroom mirror, he doesn't deserve to dress well to his parents as a means of punishment.He and Alina were back to their silent treatment and all, he can feel she's mad at him, but he can't be too bothered about it, not with the things he has on mind.He took his phone and head out of the house, the second Alina answered an incoming call.He could allow himself the luxury of taking the bus but he doesn't deserve it, he doesn't deserve anything good.He put his phone on silent, he doesn't need any disturbance from Asher, especially
*** *** ***Alex enters his company, feeling on top on the world. He wouldn't let that low life words get to him."Where are you coming from?" Mr Morbian asks, Alex enters his office and meets his father there, sitting cross legged."A trip to death land!" He snapped at his father, "I can't believe you wanted be brain dead.""What good is it to have a child to barely listens to me. You're better off as dead.""Sorry dad, but I am here to stay." Alex glared at his father."Thanks to your nonchalancy, the company lost the contract. I invited them over and we lost the contract to another company.""And you want to blame for that?""Who else am I to blame? Me? You had a job and it was to get the contract which you lost?""I fell sick father!!! Shouldn't you have an ounce of sympathy for me?!""Did I put that sickness in you? Did I ask for to be that way? All I asked for was a son who would listen to me.""Why don't you find another son to do your biddings?!""Why else do I need your sper
*** *** ***Alina notices Ryan didn't come home either. She wondered by Hayley's mother asked for his number. Or was he on some kind of trouble? She had called Zelda's a million times but her wasn't going, she couldn't help but being worried. She just waited with bated breath for some kind of news.As she walked by the road, heading to the noodles shop down the road, she notices the restaurant she once went to for job has closed down and in it's place laid a boutique.She frowned at it in surprise. How could it have shut down, it had so much potential and it's doesn't seem like one that would shut down anytime soon."Hey!" Someone popped behind her.Alina jumped in surprise, "goodness!!""Scared you?" Eleanor grinned."Don't you have work?""I do. It's Grandpa's, I can leave anytime.""Still, you shouldn't take it for granted!" Alina said, here she was searching for job up and down and Eleanor is taking hers for granted."Durhhhh." Eleanor rolled her eyes."Why are you here?!""Where
*** *** ***Ryan rubbed his temples tiredly, they are in an ice cream shop.Asher had called that they meet up urgently and they've been at the shop for almost thirty minutes, Asher is yet to say anything, instead he kept sneaking glances at his boss."My patience is weaning." Ryan warned, glaring at Asher, "Why did you call me out?"", It's about my brother." Asher muttered, still finding it hard to make up his mind. If Adams ever finds out about what he is about to do, he will never forgive him, definitely not in this lifetime."Is he dead?""What?! No!" Asher shrieked, glaring at Ryan in disbelief."Do you want to go blind?"Asher lowered his eyes quickly, playing with the new toy on his wrist, then scoot his chair closer, "Boss, do you remember this necklace I saw you on three years ago when we met?""Necklace?" Ryan frowned, "The one with pendant similar to a cloud?""Yes, yes! That one."",Yeah, I remember, what about it?""Is it a popular necklace, like can it be gotten anywher
*** *** Mrs Bruce and Sasha sat by the pool, under the sun, tanning their skin."Did you hear that the Morbian company lost a contract worth millions to the Nolvani company? One proposal from the CEO and they ditched the Morbians immediately!" Sasha giggled excitedly."That's wholesome!" Mrs Bruce exclaimed, "That's going to be a great loss to the Morbians.""Serves them about right." Sasha snickered."Still, that doesn't mean they should be looked down upon." Mrs Bruce defended."Are you still blind to see that the Era of the Morbians has ended? The Nolvani are what is reigning now! We should find out who the CEO is and suggest Alina to him if he's single.""And if he is not?""Suggest Alina to him as a second wife. I'm sure Alina wouldn't mind."Mrs Bruce kept silent, thinking. "But you do know the Morbians are topping the list in the country.""They won't be there for long, trust me? If we are not careful, our company is ranking fifth right? We might never be in the top three beca
