Hudson sat in the garden alone, he was clad on an armless top and a short, he had a lighter in one of his hands, while playing with a cigarette with his other free hand, moving it across his lips, inserting it in and out of his mouth, he seemed lost in space, staring at a blank space, it was evident that he was lost in his thought. He didn’t even notice the approaching footsteps that were behind him. He felt a hand grab his shoulders, he jolted out of his thoughts and turned back as fast as he could. Bethel was staring down at him with a smile on his face, Hudson let out a deep sigh and returned back to his former position, resuming what he was doing before. He inserted the cigarette back into the pack and placed it in between his laps. “Don’t beat yourself up over it, it was nothing, you can’t expect the first thing you take care of to go so smoothly after all, there have got to be challenges also, you can’t expect everything to go your way and your life should be a bed of roses
Alexis walked into her house with a very exhausted expression on her face, she saw her dad and muttered a greeting to him, dragging her feet on the ground as she walked past him. “I take it that you are very exhausted” “Yes, I am extremely exhausted” she responded as she ascended the flight of stairs, climbing it slowly, one step at a time till she finally got to her. She pushed the door open and slammed it shut, locking it immediately, she rested her back on the door and slumped down slowly, the tired expression on her face morphing into a pained expression. She had put on an exhausted look on her face when walking in, only because she doesn’t want to arouse suspicion from her dad which she had successfully done but now that she is in her room, she couldn’t hold up the feeling she had any longer, she buried her face in her palms and let out all the tears she had been fighting back. The incident that had happened at Hudson’s party kept repeating itself in her head over and over ag
"It was canceled again?" Alice asked with a surprised expression on her face, holding a phone in her ear. "Yeah" the person on the other end of the line said. "Oh," the expression on her face morphed immediately into a sad, downcasted and devastated expression on her face. "What was I expecting before?" she let out a soft chuckle, "after all, he had made it clear that he doesn't want anything to do with me" she muttered, totally forgetting that she was on a call. "Ma'am, do you have anything else you want me to help you with?" the person on the other end of the line said with an impatient tone. "Oh" she jolted out of her thoughts. "Sorry, I was lost in my thoughts, I have nothing else to say. Thanks a lot" she chuckled and ended the call, tossing the phone on the table, letting out a tired sigh. "It is all that bastard's fault" she cussed loudly and slammed her hands on the table with a frown plastered on her face. "Damn it" she facepalmed herself with a frustrated look.
Hudson let out a tired sigh as he slipped inside his car, Bethel ignited the car engine, “I shouldn’t have taken the wheels earlier and let your driver do his duty, driving you around is a very tiresome task” Bethel lamented. Hudson let out a loud laughter, “It is part of exercise also” Hudson said with a mocking expression on his face. “Exercise indeed” Bethel smirked, “Are you sure going out with your bodyguards is a good idea?” he asked with a look of concern plastered on his face, pressing his foot on the gas pedal. “Well, this place that we just went to does not require that we need to carry them along” “I know but being top of the mafia world at the moment makes one a target, you are more exposed to danger especially after taking over your dad’s empire” “I know, I just got tired of moving around with the bodyguards, I need this space once in a while and if you notice, carrying those bodyguards around in convoys attracts more attention compared to driving around like this,
“Another business deal that we need to wrap up today” Hudson said to Bethel who was seated beside him in the car, with a very tired expression on his face. “It is the last one for the day and moreover it is just the second one today, stop saying it like this is your tenth one for the day” Bethel responded with a frown plastered on his face while tapping away on his phone. “Only two alone is a very tiresome task, there is no way I am going to even take care of ten in a day, not even in my dreams” Hudson replied sharply. “Stop being a lazy ass, if you get used to this two and you have more deals on your plate, you will have to increase the number of meetings and deals you take in a day” “Will you please stop talking about it like that?” Hudson protested, “The thought of it alone is making more tired” he added with a frown on his face, turning to face Bethel who had a huge smile on his face while staring at the screen of his phone. “What is your reason of smile?” Hudson asked, peekin
“Shit” Hudson cussed, he could feel his left arm where he was shot going numb, Bethel rushed over to his side, he took off his suit and his shirt also, leaving the upper part of his body nude, he tore a part of his shirt and tied it on his arm injury, to reduce the bleeding. “Lucky bastard, huh?” he muttered with a slight frown of his face as he was being raised up to his feet by Bethel. “I can take care of myself, you should pick those injured ones to the car, let’s head to the hospital quickly” he barked an order to them and they all rushed to carry out the order. He used his right hand to hold the arm where he was shot, leading them outside. Loud sound of sirens filled the air, they stepped outside to see police cars speeding in, “Bunch of motherfuckers should have brought a goddamned ambulance with them” one of the injured guys cussed out loud with an angry expression plastered on his face. The police cars’ door was swung open and police men approached them with caution, the
“What do you mean by the countdown to our death begun after I made the first shot, do you want us to be killed there?” Jay asked with a big frown on his face, he was beginning to panic, he could feel the sound of gunshots coming closer, it was only a matter of seconds before they reached where he and Andy were staying. “We could have talked it out with him and not resulted to violence but I guess there was no other choice in that period of time” Andy replied calmly, taking a long drag from the cigarette again. “If you know that you have no plans of escaping, I am sorry but I will have to leave you behind” Jay replied and picked up a metal from the floor, hitting it on the glass severally till it broke into several pieces. "It's futile to try to escape, because the chances of you leaving this place completely is absolutely zero" Andy warned. Jay turned a deaf ear to what he was saying, he went ahead and pulled off the shards of glass remaining there and jumped down without hesitati
"Seems like Mr. Too serious, got a bit reckless this time" Emily said to Hudson while walking into the garden where he was seated, the upper part of his body was without clothes, the lower part of his body was clad on a black knicker. He had a bottle of wine placed beside him on a small table and a glass, the wine content had been poured into the glass, reaching half of what it can take. He tilted his head backwards and saw Emily walking towards him, she was clad in a white gown that stopped just above her knees, a smile brightening her facial features was plastered on her face, walking towards him majestically. Each step she took was with elegance. "If you are here to mock me, you know the way in, so you will also know your way out" Hudson said with a cold tone, raising the cigarette in between his fingers to his lips, he took a short drag and returned his face to the former position."I seem to have forgotten the way I passed through to get here, would you mind directing me?" she
FOUR MONTHS LATER Alexis sat nervously in the bedroom, dressed in her wedding gown but somehow she found herself sweating for absolutely no reason. The door opened slowly and Hudson walked in. "Hi babe... " "Hudson! You know it's not nice to see your bride in her wedding dress before she walked down aisle. ""I know... ""I just wanted to check up on you ""Now you have seen me, so just leave already before someone sees you here! By the way, how did you manage to get in here?" Alexis asked teasingly, with smiles in her face."Let's just say.. I sneaked in just to see how beautiful my bride looks. Truth be told Babe, you look absolutely stunning and I might just stay rooted at this spot and keep staring at you all day"Alexis blushed really hard as she tried to look down but Hudson held her jaw up."Don't! Let me keep looking" He said.She looked at him, straight into his eyes and all she could see was herself in it. She could see love in his eyes and that could only melt her heart
Chapter 134 Bethel stood in front of Kenny who was on his knees with his head busted, blood was dripping down his face. "What were you saying again?" he asked again. "What the fuck are you talking about, who the hell is Ethan?" he asked with a confused expression."Hudson is at the hospital with his wife that is the reason why he can't come here but he sent me specifically to greet you for him for the job well done that you carried out for Ethan or are you still going to keep up that stupid lies of yours that you just wanted to play a game with him?" he asked with a blank expression on his face, holding the bat with his hand but he placed it on his shoulder."I don't know what you are talking about but seeing that you came alone, I thought that you decided to be a real man and settle this with your fist and not beat up someone without a weapon," he said through gritted teeth with an angry expression on his face. "Well, if you think that I am scared of having a fair fight with you,
Chapter 133Hudson drove as fast as he could, jumping out of the car without slamming it close and before he even packed his car properly. Immediately he reached the entrance of the hospital, the people guarding the entrance bowed their heads to him slightly and let him walk past them into the hospital. He stopped at the counter, a ring heavy, "I am sorry, I am looking for someone named… Alexis Stewart, in this hospital" he said. "I am sorry, there is no one bearing that name in this hospital currently," she said with a calm voice which only irritated him, he groaned and ran his hand through his hair, looking frustrated and furious. "Fuck!" he muttered and turned away, he looked back at her, "Do you know me?" he asked, while pointing to his face, hoping she nods her head. She nodded her head slowly just like Hudson had expected, "Yes" she muttered, a smile making its way to her face, "Hudson Stewart, the number one richest and most powerful man, right?" "Yeah, yeah" he replied to
One down. Ethan was the first to lose a man, despite being the first to start the shooting. He was the only one taking proper cover, while the rest of them had confidence in their numbers being greater than the number of people on the other side. Seeing their behavior only made Hudson chuckle, he already knew they were going to have that thought and it was going to be to his advantage.He stayed in his car, with his hand on the trigger button, he had no intention of wasting bullets today. He turned to look at the person beside him and it only made him chuckle, he was lying down on the floor, pointing his gun through the hole under the car, he turned to look at Hudson and nodded his head. Hudson could already guess what he was trying to do but he needed to confirm, "Is it what I am thinking?" he questioned him and the lad nodded his head with a bright smile on his face. "I shoot the feet of someone since I have a very good aim, I am sure I won't miss and then once the bullet hit
Alexis was rushed to the emergency unit immediately after the attention of the doctor was called."Um… sir, can I have a few moments with you?" one of the doctors that was on duty said to Ethan, grabbing his attention. He turned to look at the doctor with a puzzled expression on his face, "A moment for what? How can I help you?" he asked with a harsh tone. "Do you do anything to make her unconscious, like do you by any chance hit her or something?" he asked, while making gestures with his hand and looking at him keenly. "What is giving you the thoughts that I would do such a thing to a woman that just gave birth? By the way, isn't that punishable by law?" he asked again, folding his arm on his chest. "Yeah sure it is, I am sorry for asking you such a ridiculous question, I don't know what came over me," the doctor said, running his hand through his hair and combing it backward, he shook his head and walked away. Ethan shook his head and stood up from where he sat, walking towards
“I want this call to be traced,” Hudson yelled, entering the place that was meant for the search for Alexis, all the equipment and technologies they needed were there, “Get working now! I want the exact location of the place” he barked at them. The people in charge of the tech and tracking quickly went to work and started the tracking of the call, it didn’t take long for them to locate where the call was coming from and immediately after they did, they sent the location to Hudson. He ended the call and looked up the place, it was a place that he knew too well, he ran outside as fast as his legs could carry him, immediately he got outside, he saw three more cars parked beside his car, Bethel popped his head out of the window of one, “Lead the way, let’s get moving” he yelled to Hudson. “How many people are available at the moment, I need at least five more extra, hope it is up to you,” Hudson said, pulling open the driver’s seat of his car, he stepped in and ignited the engine of hi
Ethan walked into the ward after Alexis was cleaned up, he turned to the nurses that were present in the ward with a puzzled expression, his eyes moving around the whole room, searching for something, where the newborn baby was but he couldn’t find him and it was getting on his nerves. “Where is the baby?” he asked suddenly with a calm voice but he didn’t get any response, he turned to one of the nurses who looked like she had a loose mouth and would spill anything if asked properly. “Sorry please, do you know where my baby is?” he asked, calmly with a worried tone. She stopped what she was doing and turned to face Ethan, flashing him a smile, she said, “I am so sorry but it seemed like the mother wasn’t in a good condition, she seemed stressed but emotionally and physically and this affected the baby, he is currently undergoing treatment, you just need to exercise a little patience and I am sure that you will see your baby in no time” she explained calmly with a sweet and assuring
Ethan walked up to the shade with a glass of red wine in one of his hands and a gossip magazine in his other free hand. Just like usual, he met Alexis seated there, doing nothing as usual, just staring at the garden and enjoying the cool breeze. It is only at periods like this that she looks alive but that doesn't seem to be the case here, she seemed different today, uncomfortable.Ethan raised the glass of wine to his lips, from the side of his eyes, he noticed her move uneasily on the chair that she was seated on. "Are you sure you are okay?" Ethan asked again with a worried tone for the umpteenth time. "Yes, yes, and yes and yes and yes and yes, how many times do you want to ask me that question and how many times do you want me to reply to you?" Alexis said with a hiss, rising to her feet. She walked past Ethan, with her hand on her stomach and a little difficulty, after taking a couple of steps past him, she let out a loud yell. Looking down, she saw the blood on the floor.
“I warned you, didn’t I?” Mr. Alexandros asked Hudson, immediately he stepped into his sitting room. Hudson jumped off his feet, “Oh, Dad, it’s quite a surprise to see you here without notice” Hudson said, forcing his lips to stretch into a smile. “Don’t deviate from the topic that we are discussing here” Mr. Alexxandros said while shaking his head, he had a very angry expression on his face. “Which topic is that, father?” Hudson asked, feigning a confused expression on his face and acting like he had no idea of what his father was talking about. “Oh, you know what I am talking about, Hudson, why would you attack Brandon?” his father asked.“Oh, that?” Hudson asked with a wave of his hand, a slight chuckle escaping his lips “Though I am very glad about how the idiot died when I heard the news, I mean he deserved that, the only thing that is making me not happy like I should is the fact that I am not the one that put a bullet through his skull” he said through gritted teeth. “You
