Gazing at their daughter in bewilderment, Both of them could only but wonder where their young innocent daughter had gotten this unusual courage from.Gazing at them as though she was scanning them, she spoke vehemently, her voice bearing true testament to the anger she had boiling up in her."Alex and I would be leaving this house for his apartment." Her voice is a bit hoarse.The statement caused both parents to gaze askance at one another.They knew that Alex Waynee was a loser and believed he could never amount to anything."Am sorry…did you say Alex Waynee's apartment?... How can someone who isn't working own an apartment?" Mr Roberts's voice was laced with a mixture of surprise and concern."How can someone whose trousers are supposed to be used as rags afford an apartment in this city?" Mrs Mary's voice breaks through from the dishwasher, as she neatly arranges the already washed dishes in the rack carefully."Mom! I really don't care…with the way you guys are treating him, eve
"What happened to her?" His voice was vehement and laced with trepidation.Alex Waynee wasn't privileged to meet or know Lord Wayne and Lady Margaret Wayne.Since the day he met Eric Raymond in the garden and he announced the sudden death of Lord Wayne, Alex Wayne hadn't been himself at all.His heart raced as he paced about the ice cream store, not minding the peering eyes of the onlookers."Eric! Speak!"The silence from the other end of the phone only cranked up the emotional thermostat of Alex from 5 to 500.Beards of sweat build up his face, soaking his top. His hands wobbled as he held the phone.Staring at the phone, the call was still ongoing but he couldn't hear Eric.His eyebrows furrowed in bewilderment, and his heart raced, gazing at the table, he immediately picked up the partly eaten ice cream and heaved it into the waste bin a few steps away from him.He tries to sit, but he just couldn't find peace at the moment.He ended the call immediately and tried calling Eric Ray
Turning around, Alex Waynee meets face-to-face with his mother-in-law. Her eyes beam with anger, her breath is hot as it caresses Alex Waynee's forehead.Gazing into the dark living room, Alex could see someone approaching out of the darkness with a flashlight."Mom…I had a little bit of an issue on the road…the traffic was too much and I couldn't come back on…." Before he could complete those sentences, Mrs Mary sent a heavy slap towards him.Immediately he swerved and caught the hands of Mrs Mary in the air.His fist clenches, his eyebrows furrowed up in disgust, as he stared at her."Do you realize what you just did?…How dare you?" Her voice was vehement. Her heart heaved, and she gazed into Alex Waynee's flaming eyeballs.Moments later…"Alex, am asking you, where have you been, have you suddenly gone deaf?"Alex Waynee immediately jolts out of his trance, staring at Mrs Mary who was standing with her husband, he realizes he had been imagining things.Staring at Mrs Mary he wishe
The journey to the Wayne's was a long one, after about 2 hours, finally, they were at the gate of the mansion.The mansion stood as a testament to the opulent nature of Lord Wayne.The mansion gate was made of reinforced titanium and presented itself as a powerful barrier against intruders.To Alex Waynee's surprise, he didn't find any security at the gate. 'For a mansion such as this, one would expect to see an army guarding the gate' His thoughts went on a rampage."Eric! Why aren't we going inside?" His voice slightly above Whispers as he gazed at Eric."It's security protocol…although I could bypass it…you too could bypass it…since you are a Wayne…quick let's test it out." He said chuckling.Stepping out from the Lamborghini Aventador, he motions to Alex Wayne to cross over to the other side.They were now standing before a biometric fingerprint and optics scanner."Go on, try it" His voice is persuasive.Walking over to the optics scanner, the automated robotic voice goes: WELCO
The door of the elevator opens, revealing a state-of-the-art hospital, hidden 74 feet beneath the ground.Alex Waynee couldn't believe his eyes as he gazed with his mouth agape."What is this place?" His voice was slightly above Whispers and laced with bewilderment."This my friend is the Casa per ricchi." Eric Raymond's voice is a bit vehement. His eyes glinted in happiness."Uh…" Alex Waynee's gaze askance at Eric."Oh…it's Home for the wealthy, in Italian." He clarifies Alex Waynee."Lord Wayne loved Italy a lot, he spent his vacations in Turin and Verona, two of the most popular cities in Italy." His face was etched with a warm smile, causing Alex Waynee to smile gleefully.The underground facility was one of a kind. The hospital was sophisticated and awe-inspiring, a marvel of cutting-edge technology seamlessly integrated with the serenity of Italian architectural design.The walls were adorned with intricate murals depicting Italian history and culture, creating an ambience tha
"Doctor! How is he doing?" Alex Waynee's voice is laced with trepidation, his gaze askance at the female doctor."Well…He really sustained a lot of injuries, he is in Coma." Her face was etched with a mixture of trepidation and concern.Pacing around the office with his hand tugging his hair, he sits down on the sofa next to the mahogany wooden desk.Staring at the ceiling, he shakes his head and pulls out his phone to call Eric Raymond."Eric! How the hell could this even happen right in the mansion?" His voice reeked with anger."Sire! We are currently performing a security sweep…I'm as confused as you are right now." The background was noisy, as police sirens and armed forces troop into the mansion.Cutting the call, he locked eyes with Dr. Maureen. His heart was throbbing fast, he tried his best to contain his tears but he just couldn't as tears wells down his face uncontrollably.His heart was ripped into two by what he saw.The young boy of about 14 years was lying down in his p
The search for the guard was like navigating a labyrinthine puzzle, each twist and turn akin to unravelling a cryptic enigma.It felt as elusive as chasing a spectre through the veils of fog, every step echoing with the tension of an unseen spectre lurking in the shadows, the suspense building with each heartbeat, akin to pursuing a ghost through a hauntingly intricate maze.The security team and the guards ransacked every part of the mansion, searching for the mysterious guard, but all to efforts proved futile."Any sign of him around." Alex Waynee asks Captain Paul Lex, who was just coming out of a room, His face was laced with gloom."No Sire! Finding this guard would be like finding a needle in a realm of Whispers, it's as though he vanished into the very fabric of air itself." His voice laced a bit hoarse."Or, He stabbed Michael Belmar, rigged the alarm systems not to go off and went out through the fence." Alex Waynee's voice slightly above Whispers, he made faces at the guard,
"I don't understand what happened back at the mansion." Alex Waynee's voice was hoarse, as he gazed out the window of the Aston Martin.Silence enveloped the car for about 30 seconds before Eric Raymond replied."Lord Wayne, I assure you that the men behind all this shenanigan will be brought to justice in this life, and not in the next one." His face was etched with a mixture of reassurance and sadness for the young boy Michael Belmar."My greatest concern is for the well-being of Michael….I need him alive." His voice was laced with authority.The intonation of his voice caused Eric Raymond to gaze at his face in askance."The boy will be fine…I hope so." His hands were wobbly as he continued driving at an unprecedented speed."What's that smell?" His voice was laced with concern as he twitched his nose and stared around the car in bewilderment.The car was gradually getting filled with smoke, blurring the vision of both Alex Waynee and Eric Raymond."What the hell!" Eric Raymond's
Moments later, Lord Douglas is seated in the church as everyone gathered around him to hear his story. The situation was intense and palpable as Lord Douglas began his story. "All I wanted was for my beautiful granddaughter Janet to marry Alex Waynee in a bid to preserve the Wayne's lineage, but as it may seem, she immediately ditched him after my fake death." Lord Douglas said as he stared at Janet and Tyler who bowed their heads in disappointment. "Many years ago, the seven great families in whistling meadows, the Wayne's, the Lex's, the Osborne's, the Well's, the Douglas's, the Louis's and the Hinnbergs formed a business pact." "Things were going on very well until the rest of the family Lords noticed that Lord Wayne and his family were dominating the entire business space." "So they plotted their total annihilation." His voice was laced with a mixture of bewilderment and regret. "Luckily I was at the meeting but before my warning could reach my friend Lord Wayne, it was alr
Three weeks later, Sandra Douglas is stepping out of the car, her father, Mr Robert is helping her out of the car as her bridesmaid holds her wedding gown train.The cathedral was filled up as Sandra Douglas starred into the high ceiling above her head, tears wells down her eyes slowly."So I'm really doing this…so Alex Waynee is actually gone forever."She muttered to herself as she walked towards the aisle slowly with her father holding her by the hand.She had taken her grandmother's advice to marry Edward Hinnberg after all these years.The cathedral was filled with a soft, melodic hymn, echoing through the grandeur of the sacred space.The intricate stained glass windows filtered the sunlight, casting a kaleidoscope of colors on the floor as Sandra made her way to the altar."Sandra c'mon put up a little smile please."Mr Robert said to Sandra as they walked slowly to meet the priest and Edward Hinnberg at the altar.Edward Hinnberg stood at the altar with a smile that couldn't h
It's one year already since Alex Waynee left to see the dude at Farmer's ville.In Sandra's room, she is staring at a newspaper that read…'Lost in the woods.'Tears wells down her eyes profusely as she stared at the newspaper.Her face etched with a mixture of trepidation and anxiety.All efforts to console her by Mr Robert and Mrs Mary were all efforts in futility."Sandra, are you going to keep mourning and weeping over him all the rest of your life.""It's been a year already and you haven't even gone to the office for once.""What if the real CEO of Elvis Global Empire finds out and sacks you immediately.""Alex Waynee is gone and there is nothing you can ever do to bring him back."Mrs Mary's voice was barely above whispers as she stared at her daughter who laid on the bed weeping profusely.Her hair was all messed up in tears."Mom, he isn't gone.""He left this note and disappeared…I'm very sure this might be a prank or something."Sandra Douglas said, her voice was barely abov
"To meet…he didn't say who.""He said that's the condition or else he would proceed with the main plan which is to reveal my true identity to the whole world."Alex Waynee said as he plopped himself into the sofa by his side.Eric Raymond, Evans Raymond, Nicole and John Paul all stared at him in incredulity, the weight of the situation settling heavily in the room."We can't let him expose you like that."Eric Raymond's voice held a sense of urgency as he paced back and forth, his mind racing with possible solutions."Is there any way we can track this masked figure down? Find out who he is?"Nicole asked, her fingers dancing across the keyboard as she tried to trace the origin of the recent call.Alex Waynee sighed, running a hand through his hair, the whole event had covered him up in frustration and bewilderment."He's been elusive so far, covering his tracks well. But we need to find a way, and fast."His voice was barely above whispers.John Paul spoke up, "What about the tasks h
The weight of the dude's question hung in the air like a heavy storm cloud, casting a dark and ominous shadow over Alex Waynee's already tumultuous night."Are you seriously going to broadcast my true identity to the whole world?"Alex Waynee asked, his voice barely above whispers and laced with a mixture of concern and anxiety.The threat of his true identity being exposed to the public added a layer of urgency to an already complex situation."I never wanted to, but you brought this upon yourself."The voice was cold and detached.Alex Waynee stares askance at the ceiling above him, with a clenched jaw, Alex Waynee paced back and forth on the balcony.The cool night air doing little to soothe the fire of anxiety burning within him.The city below seemed to echo his internal chaos, with distant sirens adding a discordant note to the symphony of the night."I gave you vivid instructions and you choose to play games with me.""You are yet to realize what you are truly up against."His
It's Saturday night, the night after the incident, Alex Waynee is awake and lying beside Sandra Douglas who is already fast asleep.Sleep has evaded Alex Waynee as if it had fled from the weight of the recent events.Alex Waynee's mind was a tsunami of thoughts.The echoes of the masked figure's words reverberating through the corridors of his consciousness.The revelation that he played a role, unwitting or not, in the creation of this weird adversary clawed at the edges of his sanity."This is just unbelievable..."He muttered to himself as he quietly slipped out of bed, careful not to disturb Sandra's slumber.The night air was cool as he made his way to the balcony, the cityscape below shimmering with the distant lights of life carrying on, unaware of the turmoil within.Leaning against the railing, Alex Waynee stared into the horizon, searching for answers amidst the shadows of uncertainty. The events of the past days played in his mind like a well edited video, each scene an in
The night came upon whistling meadows very fast.Alex Waynee is at the same spot, at the same thing with two briefcases stashed with three billion dollars in cash.Eric Raymond, Evans Raymond, John Paul and Nicole are hiding some blocks away in the dark and they all are in Comms with each other."I hope everyone is ready for action and fully understands the plan?"Eric Raymond asked, his voice barely above whispers and laced with a mixture of concern and authority."Crystal clear…we fully understand the plan perfectly."John Paul said, his voice very loud over the Comms as he continued his surveillance from the black van packed a bit far from the scene."Guys I would also like to bring to your notice that we are not alone…he has some henchmen lurking around.""I think they are for backup or something."John Paul said as he continued staring askance at his monitor in the black tech van."Remember, we are to wait until he has the cash in his hand, then we swoop in immediately…let's not
Moments later Alex Waynee is pacing around in the private lounge, they all have retired to the private lounge.As he paced around, Eric Raymond stared back and forth at him.The situation was intense and palpable as everyone was confused with the weight of the situation."Lord Alex Waynee, if you could just relax for a minute."Eric Raymond called out as he stared at him continuously.Alex Waynee immediately stopped in his tracks and stared at Eric Raymond and back to all his team members."How do you expect me to calm down and relax under this tension?""We don't know what this guy is capable of yet.""None of us know what this guy can do or not do at this point in time."Alex Waynee said, his eyebrows furrowed in a mixture of trepidation and anxiety. The private lounge, once a refuge for strategic discussions, now felt like a fortress under siege, its walls echoing with the unsettling words of an unknown adversary."We don't expect you to calm down at a point like this, but a littl
Alex Waynee said as he turned his back to the receptionist and faced his team members."Who is this?"Alex Waynee asked his voice barely above whispers and laced with a mixture of concern and anxiety."So you thought we were done with you?"The voice finally broke through causing Alex Waynee to shudder in trepidation."It's him."Alex Waynee whispered to his team as he covered the mic of the telephone.The whole team stood up abruptly in anticipation of what might come next."What do you want from me, I thought we have been over this?"Alex Waynee asked, his voice filled with a mix of frustration and impatience.The dude chuckled on the other end, a chilling sound that seemed to reverberate through the phone. "Oh, Lord Alex Waynee, we're far from done.""You see, you've stepped into a game much larger than you comprehend."His voice was laced with a mixture of authority and power."What game are you talking about?"Alex Waynee asked, his tone sharper now, his eyes narrowing in suspic
