Walking very fast to avoid any fallout with the manager of the coffee shop, Josh said, "Alex Waynee! Would you keep up, I don't want you getting into trouble with Mr Chung, especially since you are a newcomer." His voice was barely above whispers."Alex!" He called out and there wasn't any response, turning, he gazed behind him and to his surprise, Alex Waynee had disappeared into the blues."What the hell!""Alex!" He called out and when he didn't get any response he ran into the coffee shop and took his place before Mr Chung came down for inspection.Luckily for Alex Waynee, Mr Chung's wife came around and was all over him, so he couldn't care less about anyone who wasn't at his duty post even when Kevin vehemently called his attention to Alex Waynee's disappearance.The half-day work continued with Josh, thinking of who Alex Wayne really was and why he had a butler raise an umbrella over his head as he entered a Rolls-Royce the other day.'This is just insane. How can a young boy l
Josh waited at Molly's Cafeteria all day long and there was no sign of Alex Waynee anywhere.Gazing around the workstation, everyone was starting to bid their friends goodbye, while he stood apart and watched them like a lone ranger.The friend he had managed to make had bailed on him at the last minute.Everything happened so far, one minute he was here and the other minute he disappeared like an apparition.Now stepping into the dressing room, he gazed through the door and noticed that Mr Chung's light was still on, meaning he was still around.Furrowing his eyebrows, Josh said, "This is weird, he never stays until this time." His voice was laced with curiosity."Maybe it's because his wife is here today." The deep voice of Alex Waynee causes his friend to shudder in trepidation.Gazing around, he couldn't believe his eyes. Standing before him was Alex Waynee.His eyebrows furrowed in bewilderment and anger.Walking closer his footsteps were loud on the wooden floorboard.His gaze l
Chapter fifty-three."Yes, Doctor! I'm Josh, the son of Mrs Gloria over here." He said, his voice slightly above whispers as he pointed at his mom.He gazed at the doctor who wore his immaculate white lab coat, his name tag read; Dr.Musk, his hair was perfectly styled to perfection, a testament to his meticulous nature. Dr. Musk's poised demeanour exuded professionalism and confidence, an embodiment of someone deeply dedicated to their profession.His attentive gaze reflected both expertise and empathy, a reassuring sight amid uncertainty.Josh seemed a bit nervous, maybe overwhelmed by clinical settings or just concerned for his mom.Lost in his gaze, the doctor's voice jolted him back to reality."Josh, I need you to sign here, here and here." He said as he pointed his calligraphic pen on the report book he held with him.Moving away from Josh, he went to Mrs Gloria, smiling gleefully at her, he adjusted some of the rubber pipes that were on her body."How are you doing today, Mrs
"Come on in." The voice of the lady at the door was vehement.Gazing askance at her, Alex Waynee's brain couldn't fully process if he had seen her before or not.Shuddering backwards he peered into the living room to be sure he was in the right place."Excuse me, what's going on here?" Alex Waynee asked, his voice laced with curiosity.Gazing at Alex Waynee, she asked with full confidence, "Aren't you the live-in son-in-law of Lady Karen Douglas?"Her voice was vehement and packed with certainty.Alex Waynee couldn't believe his ears as he stared askance at the lady who was almost the age of Lady Karen Douglas."Well, I thought so, you are right in time for her birthday party." Her voice was laced with exhilaration.'Birthday party…is lady Karen Douglas having her birthday today?' Alex Waynee's thoughts went on a rampage as he stepped into the living room."Oh my God…I knew I wasn't seeing the clearer and bigger picture from that window." Alex Waynee said as he stood in awe of the liv
"You are just a good-for-nothing misfit and if you think I would be alive to watch you marry my beautiful granddaughter…then you have got another thing coming." Lady Karen Douglas' voice was vehement and laced with sarcasm.The whole living room was silent as everyone had stopped laughing and just watched as Lady Karen Douglas battered Alex Waynee with causes."Sandra!" Lady Karen Douglas called out.Her face was etched with bewilderment."What is your deal?… I mean do you feel happy presenting this dweeb as your husband at your office." Her voice was laced with sarcasm.Sandra was standing afar off, gazing at her grandmother abusing the hell out of the love of her life."Let me ask you a question…If the real CEO of Elvis Global Empire calls you to a family dinner, will you go with this good-for-nothing misfit?" Her voice was laced with anger, as she pointed down on Alex Waynee from the top of the podium where she sat as the birthday celebrant.Each disdainful word was like a thousand
The next morning, Alex Waynee got up early and escorted Sandra Douglas to her workplace."Don't you want to enter inside the main complex?" Sandra Douglas asked, her eyes furrowed in surprise."No, I have to catch up with my friends at the cafeteria." He said as he walked backwards almost bumping into a passerby."Sorry!" He voiced out to the stranger who didn't care as he ran off to wherever it was he was going."Sandra, I really appreciate you looking out for me yesterday…thanks a million." His voice was laced with care, concern and gratitude."It's nothing…someone has got to stand up to my goofy grandmother some days." She said as both of them laughed out loud."So about the secret I told you earlier…please don't slip it…I may be the CEO of Elvis Global Empire but I certainly don't want any trouble with the Hinnbergs and their secret drug cartel." Her voice was barely above whispers as she gazed around to make sure no one was watching them."Your secret is safe with me.""But do yo
Gazing around his room, Kevin couldn't sleep all through the night.Standing up, he leapt to the shower to take his bath, as he walked, the footsteps were printed in blood.His head was heavy and his eyes hazy as he managed to see and walk into the bathroom.As his hands touched the white bathroom wall, his prints were etched with blood.Touching his face, he could feel the bruises and welts that were now somewhat etched permanently on his face.As he undonns his sweatshirt, his body gave out the most excruciating pain, as he dumped the cloth into his basket of dirty laundry, it was soaked up in the blood and sweat.Turning on the shower, the cold water cascades down his body as if it sought not just to wash away the blood stains but the haunting echoes of the nightmarish reality.The Icy tendrils of water slithered over the skin, a stark contrast to the searing ache that pulsed within him.Each drop of water felt like a fleeting moment of reprieve, a temporary escape from the labyrin
"We found out that Lord Wayne belongs to some kind of secret alliance made up of 7 families…an issue arises between them but we still haven't been able to link anything to the assassination of the Waynes." Eric Raymond said, His voice barely above whispers but packed with revelation."Eric Raymond! This is really huge, a secret alliance made up of 7 families…Lord Wayne doesn't cease to amaze me every day.""I really wish he was alive to tell us how everything happened." Alex Waynee's voice was barely above whispers as he continued pacing around the bedroom."Relax Lord Alex Wayne…everything will be fixed…if there is one thing I know is that the secret we need to find our assassins is locked away somewhere within the secret library." Eric Raymond said, his voice barely above whispers.Silence enveloped the entire room as Alex Waynee plopped into the bed with the phone still on his ear."Young master!""What is it, Eric?" Alex Waynee said as he stood up abruptly from the bed and he real
