"Eric! We need to figure out who the heck this guy is…I saw him the other day at the restaurant…and now…he just sent this message…I'm really getting scared." His voice laced with fear, he continued pacing around the car.It was really late at night, immediately a cop just stopped by their vehicle.The sound of the siren was deafening."What's happening fellas?" His voice was laced with a mixture of authority and concern."Did the car break down?" He asked as he stepped out of his car, jamming the door, he let out a loud deafening sound."Fix this…fast." Alex Waynee said to Eric, his voice slightly above Whispers as he glared at the police officer, who just toggled his gun porch as a show of deterrence.Nodding, Eric Raymond turned to meet the cop."Hi officer." His voice a bit hoarse, he showed him his ID card. A black gold plated card that Lord Wayne had specifically made for him."Oh my God! Am really sorry Lord Wayne…I didn't know you were the one." The policeman's voice was very q
Alex Waynee's steps were heavy, his weight making the floorboard creak. His heart throbbing fast, he turns and looks back in the room, and for a moment he thought he didn't see Sandra on the bed. Scrubbing his eyes hard, he gazed again and this time he realized that his eyes were just deceiving him. She was just stretching and rolling to the other side of the bed. Taking a deep breath of relief, he continued on his way to the kitchen downstairs. 'For a moment, I thought this house was haunted.' His thoughts were on a rampage as he navigated his way downstairs. The flickering of the curtains and clattering sounds he heard added to the spookiness of the moment. His hands and feet wobbled as he took cautious steps down the stairs. Looking at the cage that housed the parrot, it was wide open. 'What is going on here?' His thoughts raced. Stopping in his tracks, His eyebrows up furrowed in bewilderment as he saw a shadow cast on the wall, he couldn't decipher who or what it was. Be
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
