*** *** ***"It's you! I know you!" Eleanor gasps."I know you too!" Asher exclaimed"When you saw me with Ryan, you couldn't take your eyes off right? That's why you looked shocked." Eleanor accused."I'm shocked because I have sincerely surprised. My brother set me up on this date and he went on and on about how you are cool, I'm sure he didn't see you for you.""I bet you saw me and still went ahead to come?"Asher scoffs, "You wish! Would you have rather I stood you up? Besides aren't you all about Ryan, why are you on a dating site, looking for love.""A lady got to expand her choices. If by the end of the day, Ryan decides to stick to his unable wife, where does that leave me?""Just so you know, Ryan is not going to leave his wife, at least, not in this life time.""And what do you know about him!?" Eleanor snapped, looking pained. "You don't even know him half as much as I do!""That doesn't matter, it's obvious, Ryan is not the kind to leave his marriage.""How did you meet R
*** *** Eleanor groaned into the pillow of her bed, her head banging."Glad to see you are finally awake." Grandpa Tony coughed.Eleanor sprang up from the bed, "How did I get home?""A fine young man brought you home." Grandpa Tony smiled."A fine young man?"'"Mmmh....." Grandpa Tony winked, "What was his name again?? Yeah, I think Asher!.""Shoot! That guy?!""Yeah, who ever the guy is. Have you finally decide to stop being obsessed with Ryan.""No way!" Eleanor argued.As if hitting replay, her brain replayed when she'd ask Asher if she could love him and her confession for yearning for love."Eleanor buried her head again and groaned into the pillow."I'll take it something embarrassing happened yesterday." Grandpa Tony chuckled."I don't want to talk about it?" Eleanor replied, the pillow muffling her voice."Did you guys at least kiss?" Grandpa Tony teased, "Such a beautiful night would go to waste if you guys hadn't kissed.""We did not kiss!" Eleanor defended indignantly, "
*** *** ***Alina dressed, her mind made up. She used the last money on her to go back to her family's house. They aren't expecting her and are going to be shocked when they see her. She sneaks out of the house, not feeling obligated to tell Ryan about where she is going. When Ryan wakes up, he didn't find Alina anywhere, he assumed she went on one of her job hunts. He hated seeing her that way, worried over everything little thing. Even though he is being secretive over a lot of things, he wasn't going to allow them starve. He would always send help to her one way or the other..His respect for her increased when she rejects the job offer his company offered, because she doesn't want to be indebted to the owner.He decides to stop by Alex's office, make an offer with him or call in a favour with him or perhaps, since Alina trusts Asher, he could use Asher as an helper to her, yet, he needs to stop by Alex and see how he is doing, maybe back to his usual bitchy and cry baby self.**
*** *** ***Alex hung around till Alina left, feeling proud of himself for finally standing up to her after years. As he was about to enter the company, he gets dragged to the alley beside the company and gagged in order for him not to scream. Fortunately for his intruder, there was barely anyone in sight."What the heck!" Alex exclaims after he was released, removing his gag."Olivia? What are you doing here? When did you get out of Prison? How did you?"Olivia threw the first punch at him, bursting his lips instantly."Are you crazy? What are you doing?!""Yes! I'm crazy!" Olivia screams, "And it's all because of you!!"She grabs him by the shirt and slaps him repeatedly until his cheeks were red.Alex tried to rip her off him, but she was too strong, it was like she grew super powers overnight. Olivia gives him another blow to the face, putting half of her strength into the punch, breaking his nose instantly. The instant she releases him, Alex tried to make an escape.Olivia th
*** *** ***Ryan entered the half opened gate, making a mental note to himself to fix the lock later on."What are you doing here?" Olivia stops him by the front lounge.Ryan outs his hands in his pocket, "Checking up on you, how's your health?""Better, you can go." Alina snaps.Ryan stood there, both of them studying each other.Olivia has a memory flash, to anyone and everyone, she's living a life befitting for a princess. No one knows what it was like to live in her house. It was night mares upon nightmares. Only Alex had an inkling of what she passed through and yet he used her as his scapegoat and did not bother coming to her rescue.She grew up knowing her mother had abandoned her here and was her father mistress.Her father, mad he couldn't have her mother for himself always yelled at her and didn't care she was being maltreated by his new wife. There was a time he told her he hated seeing her face because they reminded him so much of someone.She didn't need a soothsayer to t
*** *** Those working in the camera room at first were too busy to eating and bantering around to notice then one of them caught sight of what was happening in the rear view camera close to the alley and saw two ladies attacking their boss. He immediately raised an alarm to the securities. When security arrived at the scene, the ladies had disappeared, leaving their knocked out boss on the floor. He had a lot on injuries and broken bones. After admitting Alex on the hospital, Devin comes back to the office to finish the day's activities and file a complaint to the police. Mr Morbian enters the office, a smirk on his face. "Mr Morbian!" Devin stood in acknowledgment, "I was just about to lay a complaint to the police so they can find the culprit behind this." "Oh." Mr Morbian chuckled, "that wouldn't be necessary at all." "I'm sorry?" Devin needed to be sure he heard what he thinks he just heard correctly. "I said that would not be necessary at all." "I'm sorry, if I may ask
*** ***Alina visits her new mini company, and true to her suspicion, everything about the company is withered, it's a surprise the building is still standing. The door creaked open, it sound resonating through out the building.Alina took few steps backwards as the stale air from the building hit her. The cleaning company she called arrived just in time.As they worked, Alina noted a few things..The so called restaurant is like a bar house where veterans came to recount stories, have a good laugh, coupled with a drink or two, and also play poker..For the first time in a while, Alina felt alive. She had a sense of purpose and responsibility, asides from Eleanor's hidden threat, she needed to prove her family wrong. A company without her would be missing out on so much."Hey..." Alina heard a new voice behind her, "I was told I'll find you here."Alina turned to see who it was"Olivia?" Alina asks, shock filling her features."Yeah, that's me." Olivia shrugs awkwardly. She knows Z
*** ***Mr Morbian received the phone he's being waiting all day for."It's done" Mr G simply said and hung up.Mr Morbian yelled in victory. Finally, his rival is out of the picture. He turned on his television and waited for the new that will come on soon.Ten minutes later, the TV channel abruptly switched to News. Every channel was rushing to be the first to deliver the news. Ads popped up everywhere, announcing Asher's death."It's been brought to our notice." The reporter started, "That a Mr Asher Fotin, managing Director of the Nolvani company has been shot dead, along side his assailant on bus 3704, Johnson street. It was reported that Asher had just closed from work, his car was down or maybe tampered with and so he used the bus instead where he was killed. We'll be back after gathering more information on his death!"Mr Morbian popped his champagne open happily.. "You are next son." He smirked, eyeing the picture of Alex on his desk. *** "Thank heavens, I've been starving
