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
Mrs Mary's voice was barely above Whispers as she also gazed at Alex Waynee who still had this weird and annoying smile."Hey! Loser, why are you even smiling…keep those poor dentitions of yours away from this table." "I don't want you contaminating my food." She said as she stared at Sandra who was almost at the door.Staring at his wristwatch, Alex Waynee could only wonder why Eric Raymond hadn't restored light to the building.Peering through the peephole, she saw a man, gazing back at her family, she shuddered a bit."Who is there?" Her voice was laced with trepidation as she held the door handle, her hands wobbly."It's the postman…I have an urgent delivery." His voice is Vehement."Did any of you order anything?" Sandra's voice is slightly above Whispers, she tried to avoid the stranger hearing her."No! We didn't." Mr Robert and his wife answered simultaneously."What of you, Alex?" Her gaze askance at Alex Waynee."Does he have any money to buy flip-flops?" Mrs Mary's voice w
Gazing at his terrified face, Alex Waynee couldn't help but wonder what was the issue."Don't tell me Michael Belmar is…dead." His voice was cold and void of any emotions as he glared into the face of Eric Raymond, who was rather focused on the dashboard of the Limousine.Gazing at Alex Waynee's face, he managed to wear a little smile."Michael Belmar is doing great.""The Doctor said he could be discharged any moment." His voice barely above Whispers, his words infused life back to Alex Waynee's spirit.The last thing he needed was bad news, and especially not about Michael Belmar."Oh thank God." Alex Waynee's voice was barely above Whispers.He held his heart and breathed in slowly, reassurance and joy etched on his face as he looked out the windshield."Why are we parked here, in this alley, why don't we just go buy some hotel just for fun." Alex Waynee said, punching Eric Raymond in the shoulder who didn't respond in any way. His face was as hard as a flint as he gazed out into
"What about her…is she in any kind of danger?" Alex Waynee's voice was faced with fear.Beads of sweat build down his face, as he stares intently into Eric Raymond's face."She isn't in any trouble, Young master.""I know this might sound obnoxious or stupid…but I think Sandra Douglas is our culprit." His voice barely above Whispers, as he stares around making sure no one is hearing their conversation.As Alex Waynee was about to talk, he paused for a waiter to get past them before he continued.Staring at Eric's stern face, he was as confused as the tangled web of suspicion and uncertainties that surrounded them.The dimly lit restaurant provided a cloak of Shadows, intensifying the gravity of their clandestine discussion."Are you sure about this, Eric?" Alex Waynee questioned, his eyebrows furrowed in skeptism."Our Intel has never been wrong, We have been monitoring her for some time now." Eric Raymond's voice barely Whispers."Wait you have been monitoring my fiancé? Behind my ba
The door of the bathroom opens revealing Sandra, she has her white towel perfectly tied across her chest.The drops of water cascading down her body glistened like liquid diamonds, tracing an intricate map across her sun-kissed skin.The air in the bathroom had a delicate mix of warmth and moisture wrapping around her like an embrace.The faint scent of lavender from her shampoo lingered, adding a subtle floral note to the sensory symphony.As she adjusted her gown by the mirror, she notices that Alex Waynee's box is partly open.Gazing at the mirror in surprise, the mirror bore a reflection of the open box, exposing a brown file.'What could that be?' Her thoughts raced.Quickly she turned, she walked slowly towards the bag, her face etched in bewilderment.As she was about to pick up the file, "Wait!" The voice of Alex Waynee broke through.He was just coming out from the bathroom, his white towel perfectly tied around his waist, his perfect masculine physique was a testament to his
Sandra's SUV sped past some pedestrians."Hey! Watch it." One of them yelled at her.Sandra was sweating profusely inside the air-conditioned car.Her thoughts raced as she recalled everything that happened in the room.'I could swear that the file looked like Elvis Global Empire documents…or were my eyes deceiving me?''And what does he mean by that last statement…I have always been truthful to him.''The only thing I haven't told him is what happened between me and Edward Hinnberg that made me break up with him.''Apart from that, I haven't held anything back from him.''Does he think I am hiding something?' Her face furrows in a mix of anxiety and curiosity as she steers the SUV through the bustling city streets.The rhythmic honking of horns and the distant sound of urban life served as a discordant backdrop to Sandra's internal turmoil.The accusatory voice of the pedestrians lingered in the air.An unintended reminder of the unspoken truth and unraveling secrets that now cast a
It's been 4 days since the day Sandra met with the strange lady who gave her those instructions.Her life hadn't been going great, as each day passed, she could only but wonder why all this was happening to her."Hey babe!" Alex Waynee muttered from the bed.His gaze is fixated on Sandra Douglas who is looking at the mirror, trying to fix her earrings.There was no response from her, which caused Alex Waynee to jump up on his and walk to her.As he held her, she shuddered, a clear sign that she had been lost in her thoughts all along."What is wrong with you?" "For the past few days, you have been looking so pale…I think you need to see the doctor." He said, his face etched with a mixture of concern and empathy.She stared intently into his eyes.His eyeballs were aflame with love for her.The words of the young lady echo through her head as though she were caught in a loop of haunting memories.The strange lady's instructions, the mysterious events, and the overwhelming feeling of c
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
