Taa!Taa!!Taa!!!"Haven't I warned you never to touch anything that belongs to me or my husband?"The sound of the slaps echoed throughout the half-empty hall like a thunderclap, causing everyone to look in their direction.This was the seventh time Alex Waynee, the family maid, had been slapped today.His face burned red hot with anger as he glared viciously at Iris Douglas."What do you want to do..uh…do you want to slap me back?" Iris Douglas's voice is heard as she holds Alex Waynee by his shirt and lands him another hot Slap."Taa!"That serves him right…beat him up… that good-for-nothing bastard." The voice of Lady Karen Douglas was vehement as she ran towards the scene with Donald Douglas, her favorite grandson.Iris Douglas was pulled away from Alex Waynee by her husband. Alex Waynee stood up, his shirt all rumpled from the struggle, and he gazed around, as tears wells down his eyes.Shit!He couldn't find Sandra Douglas, his fiancée, anywhere around."I have told you several
"What do you mean you wouldn't ditch that loser Alex Waynee for Jose Louis…a more handsome, prominent young man?" Sandra Douglas is standing staring at Lady Karen Douglas in bewilderment, although she isn't that surprised as this wasn't the first time her cousin's wife, Iris Douglas had pulled off such a stunt.The other day, Sandra Douglas almost ended up beating her for insulting her fiance."Grandma, I am not surprised that you would take Iris's side on this matter as usual." She shakes her hair in disbelief."So what…do you want me to take sides with you when all you have decided is to bring disdain and shame to this family by rejecting Edward Hinnbergs?" "Do you know that you just destroyed our one opportunity of becoming more prominent… if you had married Edward Hinnberg, we would have merged both families' companies into one powerful financial conglomerate." She says as her heart heaves up and down in vexation.She was really angry that Sandra Douglas had chosen Alex Waynee o
"Lets go" Sandra Douglas pulls him out the revolving door."Who the hell was that man…and why were the both of you staring at each other with so much venom in your eyes?" Her voice was tremulous, as the both of them held hands and crossed the road to enter the Douglas global empire.The building was a magnificent one, an eight-story building with a helipad that could carry two choppers.The building was meticulously constructed to match the opulent and sophisticated taste of Lady Karen Douglas.The building's architecture and interior design were a testament to her impeccable style and preference for luxury.The windows were adorned with intricate stained glass patterns and framed in ornate gold leaf, allowing natural light to stream in, casting a warm and inviting glow throughout the grand hallways.Each window was a work of art, a fusion of form and art that perfectly complemented the overall building aesthetic."Oh! You mean the guy that had his face seared by a blade… am not sure
"Grandma! You wouldn't be serious about letting Sandra leave the administration, right? Donald Douglas's voice is laced with fear as he paces up and down Lady Karen Douglas's office.The office was a beauty in the making, the backdrop behind Lady Karen Douglas displaying the numerous business grand awards she had won, an impressive tableau that seemed to stretch out for miles."Relax, Donald… I know what I'm doing… how did you think I was able to get Janet to ditch Alex Waynee even though your grandfather had betrothed her to Alex Waynee before his mysterious death." Her voice was hoarse as she continued to sign the files on her desk without sparing Donald Douglas a glance."Grandma, as I am talking to you she is done packing her stuff and she has already left the complex…Grandma! do something…you realize Sandra Douglas plays a crucial role in this company…removing her now that we have more competitors out there in the market…wouldn't be in our favour." His voice was reeking with trep
"Shit!"Watch where you are going…you just slipped hot coffee all over my shirt." The voice of Edward Hinnberg was laced with anger, raising his eyes, his demeanor changed immediately.His fist clenched, and he gritted his teeth, his heart heaved up and down in anger.His eyes were ablaze as he set them on the one who had ruined his presentation outfit."If it ain't you bastard!... What are you doing here…did you miss your way to the market…c'mon let me see the list of things your mother-in-law sent to go get at the market…the market is that way bastard." His voice was laced with pure hatred as though every word was dripping venom, his eyes burning with a furious intensity that could ignite a wildfire of conflict at any moment."Edward…am really sor…" Those words didn't come out of his mouth completely as Edward completely emptied the remaining coffee on his head and over his black shirt."This should teach him to look properly and not walk around without his eyes, bumping into people
Who is this man that has been stalking me? What the hell does he want from me? What does he know about my mom and dad Charles and Jessica Wayne? All this and many thoughts ran through his mind as he stared intently out the window of the 7th floor of Dex Palm palace. He had a bottle of wine and a plate of lasagna on his table. It was a cold evening, the sun was just setting beyond the horizon, casting a warm amber glow that painted the rooms in the hue of orange and gold. The rich aroma of the lasagna filled the air, blending with the fruity notes of the wine. As he took a sip of the wine and a forkful of the lasagna, he couldn't help but appreciate the simple yet comforting beauty of the moment. The Dex Palm Palace was just one of the luxury hotels Eric Raymond had secured for him today. Staring intently at his grandfather's smartphone, he thought of the best way to punish that animal that calls himself Gwen Falls. Swiping through his phone he searched for Gwen's YouTube chann
"Did you say he didn't see this message?" His voice is laced with authority as he turns her hand back to her face."Wow! That wasn't there 10 seconds ago!" She stared deeply into Alex's eyes."Alex Waynee!""I know all your secrets…I know everything you are hiding." Her voice is hypnotic."You say what now?" "I know all your secrets…I know who you truly are beneath." Her voice was hypnotic as she gazed intently into Alex Waynee's eye. Trepidation reeked all over Alex Waynee's body, beads of sweat building down his cheeks. 'How on earth did she find out who I truly was?' 'Does she truly know?' This and many thoughts ran through the mind of Alex Waynee as he stared into the eyes of Sandra Douglas, his face expressionless. "So when were you going to tell me?" She said as she sipped her wine, her eyes reeking all over Alex Waynee as though trying to suck the secret right out of him, the weight of her question hung in the air as the tension between them thickened. "Tell you wha
Waking up early due to excitement, Sandra Douglas steps into the bathroom to take her bath. Alex Waynee couldn't help but stare at her through the opaque glass door of the bathroom.He gazed as the warm water cascaded down her body like a soothing waterfall.Her laughter filled the room, a joyful melody that danced with the steam rising from the hot shower.The scent of lavender soap filled the air, intertwining the hum with her favourite song playing on the radio.With every drop of water that fell from her, Alex Waynee's dream of making Sandra Douglas his own tightens.He couldn't fathom another man having Sandra's heart and waking up to the enchanting site he just witnessed.It was a memory he would never forget, Sandra had such lovely skin.He watched as droplets of water clung to her skin, like liquid diamonds, each one a reminder of the moments they shared.Moments later…"Wish me luck, baby." Sandra's voice was hypnotic as she held Alex Waynee's soft hands.Her gaze was so inte
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
