“I am sorry,” Ezra whispered shakingly as she slowly pointed the gun at Evan's way and pulled the trigger.Bang! A loud resonating gun sound echoed in the vast land killing all silence away. After a while, the sound slowly disappeared and silence returned to the land.“Ug!” A heavy thud sounded in front of Ezra as she watched the man bleed profusely.He coughed heavily and crashed to the floor. As much as he doesn't want to believe it, but looks at the blood sipping away from the hole in his head. Reality dawned on him as he realized that he had been shut. But it was too late to say anything as his mouth was too heavy for him to move anyway.All that was left in his eyes was regrets, pains, and… confusion.“Are you okay?” Evan's calm voice broke the silence and Ezra turned towards him fearfully.She gazed at Evan, then back at the man that was once behind him threatening to stab him. She held the gun in her hand and subconsciously clenched it tightly.“It's okay. You can leave the g
“Wake up,” “Ezra…”“Um? Where am I?” A soft groan escaped Ezra's lips the instant her eyes pried open. Different emotions flashed before her eyes but the instant she noticed a figure resting at the window… the confusion in her heart died away.“Master… You saved me,” She muttered softly and at the same time sat on the bed. Evan stopped with what he was doing and glanced in her direction with an unreasonable expression on his face.“Tell me in detail, everything that happened last night,” Evan's icy reply broke pierced through the air and the smile on her face silently disappeared.Her eyes flashed complicated emotions and one could see the disappointment in them. “Y-yes,” Her voice sounded feeble but she still held her shoulders high and glanced at him. Her lips parted slightly and the first words escaped her lips, “I went out for a walk yesterday… because of how tired I was with everything unfolding before me.” She started.“I walked around the garden admiring the flowers but at t
Evan stood motionlessly in front of his office table as he thought more about what Claus had sent to him.“How's that possible?” He frowned and took out how phone to check the message.It was still there! “If truly her parents are alive and somehow ended up in the basement. How did Damien get to know about it?”He thought. “This is getting frustrating,” He added and then turned towards the documents piled up on the table.He sighed lightly, then sat on the chair. He calmly took one of the documents and went through them. He was still reading through the books when William burst forth into the office. “Sir! You must see this!” William exclaimed as he rushed forward with a tablet in his hands. “What happened?” Evan frowned on hearing the urgency in his voice. William stepped forward and placed the tablet on the table. On the screen of the tablet was a video… No, a live broadcast. A reporter was on a live stream in front of a burning warehouse.“This place looks familiar,” Evan mutt
After the incident that occurred two days ago, the media made sure to give its viewers detailed information concerning the incident. But, there was one thing they still haven't been able to clear out yet. And that was the footage found in one of the CCTV cameras. A man was found helping a lady to his car, nothing happened after they left. But surprisingly 5 hours after they left, the warehouse went ablaze.And this sparks the interest of the viewers.(Who was the man and the woman?)“Damn it! I can't believe we still haven't been able to gather much information!” A slender woman in a formal suit flung the files on her table away and yelled in frustration.She breathed heavily and then glared at the feeble man in front of her.“What are you still doing here, Lucas? Do you want me to kneel and beg you to do something about this?” She lashed out at the young man. “N-no, ma'am. I am sorry,” Lucas bowed his head fearfully and one could hear the trembling in his voice. “Damn it! You ar
William and Claus stood in front of Evan with a serious expression on their faces. The atmosphere in the room was tense and not a pin drop could be heard.William's gaze shifted back and forth between Claus and Evan, waiting for someone to break the tense silence. But neither man spoke, and the seconds ticked by with agonizing slowness. William's nerves were shot, his heart hammering in his chest. He felt as if he were standing on the edge of a precipice, waiting for the ground to fall away beneath him.“What do you suggest, sir? Should I send a team over to search for her and investigate the situation?” William asked, breaking the silence. Evan sat back in his chair as a calm expression appeared on his face.“What do you suggest, Claus? I think this issue will come up often when I am away. How do you think you can solve this situation?” William's eyes widened slightly as he faced Claus waiting for him to speak. “In general, they have no clue that we already have this informati
"You must be the VP of the Vertice Capital company?" Mrs. Bertha rushed towards Claus with a delightful expression on her face.Silence fell as all the employees glanced at the duo and then back at Evan who was silent watching the scene unfold in front of him. "You are very correct ma'am. And that should have been enough reasons for you to stop the disturbance," He calmly replied and the smile on Mrs. Bertha's face died down. "Pardon me," She smiled, but then frowned and pointed at the lady."But I must say that your employees should be checked occasionally. Some bad seeds might be the cause of low visits from business partners to this company," She pointed out and Claus's gaze hardened slightly. "You mustn't worry about it. I will discuss everything with the CEO," He assured her and Mrs.Bertha's eyes widened in surprise."That is more like it," She smiled. "And that reminds me. I would love to have a meeting with your boss. I came for a pressing matter and I need his help," "How
"Please save my daughter! I will make sure I change, please," She tried to hold his hands but Evan moved back and flashed her a cold glare. "Take our past family relationship to this. Will the old man be happy if he were to witness this?" She asked tearfully. Her hands moved to her pause and she took out a handkerchief to mop the tears off her cheeks. "The old man will understand my actions if he were to witness it," Evan added calmly and turned to leave.Mrs. Bertha saw that her tears weren't working and as such she ran forward and tried to hold him, but William beat her to it and held her back. "Please, ma'am. You must leave the company, right now. You have caused enough disturbance and the CEO does not wish to discuss with you anymore," William said in displeasure. He held back the urge to drag her out of the company and shut the door in her face, but he knew that would be a bad thing to do. Mrs. Bertha stood there panting in frustration. She glared at him and then signed heav
Evan's hands clenched tightly as his attention slowly moved to where the voice came from. “Harry?” He called out with a frown on his face. Harry who had thought he had succeeded in his dare game with his friends froze slightly and gazed at Evan with a horrific expression on his face.“E-evan!” He stuttered as he moved back subconsciously, only to step on his toes and crash landed on his butt. “I am sorry. I didn't know that it was you,” He quickly said in a shaky voice. One could hear the fear in his voice and how his eyes darted around fearfully.This small scene caused all the customers to stop what they were doing and glance direction. They all had questioning expressions and wondered if the man was okay. Evan gazed at Harry calmly and then back at his friends who were giggling behind him at their reservation. “Are you talking about them?” He frowned and Harry's eyes widened slightly. He slowly turned his head towards the table and saw that all his friends were drinking and en
