*** *** ***"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
*** *** ***The next two days, Asher, Ethan and Ryan got busy with collecting informations."I always knew there's more to you" Ethan whispers, earning a warning glare from Ryan."Sorry." Ethan mouthed as they heard footsteps. Ryan only shaked his head in response. They've agreed Asher was going to reveal himself to the world the following day.Then whatever comes next, they'll battle it together and start attacking the members .How??! Only Ryan and Asher knows that. Since they were still suspicious of Ethan, he was kept in the dark and only allowed to offer an opinion in matters that didn't matter."Hey soldier boy," Olivia entered the kitchen, "I didn't realize this is now your base!" She sneers."Hello marketer." Ethan replies in an overly sweet voice, "it's nice you found interest in monitoring me.""Ryan, tell your minion to stop using my shampoo!! And his hair is usually everywhere.""You should be happy I deem your shampoo worthy of my hair.""Why are you here in the first pl
*** *** "Can I tag along?" Olivia asks, the minute Alina entered the kitchen."Just after you threatened my mother? Sorry no and besides, you heard Grandma Joan, Family only.""I am family too.""I suppose..... In a way but we are talking about Grandma Joan here." Alina explained, almost pleading with her voice for Olivia to understand her."What about Ethan?" Olivia argued.Ethan scoffs, "If Ryan is going, no one can stop me from tagging along.""There, you have it." Olivia opened her arms, as if proving a point."Why do you even want to go? You have no business there.""I want to see how your family is like." Olivia shrugs.Alina face palmed herself and walked to the room. There was no use convincing them.** **Grandma Joan had always been a formidable presence in the family. Despite being in her late seventies, she still had a sharp mind and a commanding voice. So when she called a family dinner in honor of their late grandfather, Javier, everyone knew they had to be there. They
*** *** ***Ryan woke up to a banging head ache. He groaned in pain, opening his eyes slowly.The alarm went off in his head at the unfamiliar surrounding. It looked like a ware house, he noticed, oddly similar to his but this is bigger and.. and....He juggled his body in a daze.He was tied to a chair, the room is dark, save for a single yellow bulb that is supposed to illuminate the entire room."Ah... I see... Sleeping beauty his finally awake." A voice chuckled.Ryan stilled, recognizing the all familiar voice then a giggle followed.Tht giggle. He had warned and threaten her, yet she went ahead with whatever this was?Ryan wore a deep frown instantly, trying to make sense of his surroundings and the circumstances that led him here.He had eaten from the food at the Bruce family house.Everyone ate the same thing, so there wasn't a chance it was drugged, except. His frown got deeper.The dessert was cake, short ones and of different colors, so it was entirely possible he was dr
