"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
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
