"Yes?" Ezra's voice trailed off the instant she recognized who the voice belonged to."You did well, but next time make sure to understand the situation before you judge. At times, the customer might be right and the employee might be wrong," Evan calmly said to her and she nodded innocently."I will always learn from you master," She pressed her hands forward and bowed slightly."Stop doing that," Vera said and Evan rolled his eyes."You can call me Evan, instead of this master title," He said and her eyes widened slightly."Okay sir Evan," She replied joyfully."Only Evan," He sighed tiredly and Vera chuckled lightly."Okay, Evan," Ezra replied cautiously as though his name was fire and Vera couldn't take it anymore. She held her stomach as her laugh echoed on the first floor. ...After the dinner at the Mall, they decided to head back home and call it a day. The call pulled into Evan's house and Vera and Ezra stepped out of the car."Aren't you coming inside with us?" Vera asked
Evan's feet froze slightly as his ears perked up and his eyes stared at the stairs ahead. "Christel?" He called out and right at that moment the sound that came off the stairs ceased."She must be home," He sighed lightly and took out his phone as he felt a buzz from it earlier. Claus sent."Hmm," Evan gazed at the number that was sent along with the message and frowned slightly."Always meeting," He muttered and shoved the phone back into his pocket. He stared at the stairs in front of him and glanced at the house one last time.'Maybe it is because I haven't been here for long. It's probably the reason this feeling of ' vacant ' came into my mind, that was why I mistook the silence of no one being around,' He thought. "At least she should have closed the door," He sighed as he started to make his way to the door but right at that moment the sound of rushed footsteps sounded from the stairs. "Christel?" He called out but when his eyes landed on the person, a deep frown crossed hi
Time went by in a flash and soon it was morning. The melodious sounds of birds singing so early in the morning were the only lively sound heard in the morning. Evan gazed at his phone for the umpteenth time that morning and sighed heavily when he noticed that it was already past 8 am. " Sir, he will soon be here," William said cautiously."I know," Evan calmly replied."He's here sir," Claus's voice sounded ahead and soon the door opened. The sound of footsteps approaching sounded in the office and soon the people those footsteps belonged to appeared before them. Evan slowly looked up from the file he was going through as he stared at the presence in front of him. "Mister Evan, it is nice to finally meet you." A tall slender man with a smile on his face stood before Evan.His eyes were narrowed slightly and he had on a pair of glasses. Evan got off his office chair and handshake the hand stretched out to him."It is a pleasure, mister Damien," Evan calmly replied and in return sil
The warehouse was enormous, looking all grand and simple. Evan's gaze lingered on the warehouse building and then it landed on Damien who stood beside him, his hand in his pocket.Damien smiled at the view of the warehouse, very well convinced that Evan would bite the deal.Evan liked the idea, it was a great one but, he didn't know much about the land and he didn’t trust who he was buying it from - Damien. He also doesn't wish to invest in something in which he knows nothing to little things about. Evan bit his lower lips, rested his index finger on his cheek, and went into a very deep thought.After a few minutes of silence, Evan sighed.“Let me think about it and get back.”“Sure. No problem.”Damien nodded and brought out his hand for a handshake, Evan took it and they had a firm handshake. They both got into the car and exited the warehouse.~Evan still thought about it as he arrived at his workplace and made it to his office. Immediately he opened his office door and saw Mrs Be
"Damn it!" He cursed angrily as he quickly pulled to the sideways. Thank God his car didn't collide with that one. He shook his head and took out his phone to read the message that was sent to him again. "Damien..." He frowned slightly and took out his phone to call William. "Have you gotten anything so far?" He asked. "No sir," William replied.Evan nodded then shoved the phone back in his pocket. He went through his messages and stared at Damien's number.How did he know about Ezra? Evan frowned as the identity of Ezra became more complicated than it already looked.Who was she and why was she away that night? "The issue right now... is to find her," He thought and started to think of any possible location that she might be.Wait...."What if all this was a trap?" He frowned. As that thought crossed his mind. He quickly took out his phone and called Vera. The phone rang for a while before her voice came through and she sounded tired."Hello?""Is Ezra at home with you?" He a
“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
