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 times that you are no longer welcome here…go back to the orphanage you came from." Her eyes glinted with venom as she spoke viciously.
"Alexander!" Donald Douglas' voice breaks through. Since he was the eldest son everyone respected him, and silence came upon the room as his voice came through.
"I will advise you to do as my grandmother said…Janet rejected you for Tyler Wells and soon your Sandra…will also leave you for either Jose Louis or Jack Osborne…truly you have no place here."
He said as he twitched his nose in irritation.
Alex Waynee gazed at everyone, he was like a lone sheep surrounded by many hungry wolves, each person's gaze piercing through him like a predator sizing up its prey.
The weight of the world seemed to press down on his shoulders, making him acutely aware of his vulnerability in that sea of unfriendly faces.
"The man who adopted you is dead and long buried…so go back to the slums he picked you from."
"You are really a loser… you know that… how did you ever think you could come from nowhere and become part of this highly esteemed family… I mean look at you, you are nothing but a poor bastard."
Lady Karen's voice was hoarse, her face laced with disgust.
That last statement shocked Alex Waynee to his bone marrow, he couldn't take it as tears well down his eyes controllably.
He ran out towards the door, his eyes darted on the one he first loved, Janet Douglas, she immediately turned her eyes away, and he sped past her and ran to the only place he found peace in the whole of whistling meadows.
"Wait!!! You forgot your smelly handkerchief. Iris Douglas holds his handkerchief up with the handle of a mop stick, with a peg on her nose.
Everyone bursts into laughter as she mocks poor Alex Waynee.
—------------------------------------------------------
Stopping fast in his track, Alex Waynee yanks on the gate of the garden park.
Shit! The gatekeeper was gone.
With tears in his eyes, he retrieves a spare key and opens the garden park. He had made a spare the day Mr Parker left him the keys and went home.
The garden was serene, only the harmonious sounds of the birds filled the air, their melodies weaving together like a soothing lullaby that transported anyone who listened to a tranquil dream-like state.
Rushing to the wishing well, he gazed into it, teardrops from his eyes falling freely in the deep well, rippling the water's mirrored surface as though each one had a wish in it.
"I really don't understand why Lord Jerry Douglas would take me off from the orphanage and bring me here, I was better off at the orphanage."
"I wished I was really rich and influential… I will step on all who humiliated me." His voice was laced with sadness.
"All this wouldn't have happened had my parents not died in that accident that night."
"Master Alex Wayne!" A voice suddenly broke the silence in the garden.
"I have been searching all over for you."
Alex Waynee turned in shock. Standing before him was a man whom he only had childhood memories of, he was dressed in a black Saint Brioni suit, his cover coat flickering in the wind.
"What are you doing here? haven't Lord Luthor caused me enough pain already… and don't pretend, I know all the story." Alex Waynee's voice was hoarse, his eyes gazed at the man standing in front of him.
"Master Alex Wayne, I brought bad news…Lord Luthor Wayne is dead."
He said as he knelt, removing his cap, he bowed down to Alex Waynee.
"Wait! grandfather is dead?" Alex Waynee says tears welling down his cheeks.
"His last wish was that you return to the Waynes immediately for your safety."
"A good friend of yours leaked your whereabouts to me…I and your grandmother, Lady Margaret Wayne, have been searching for you since the day we found your parent's body at the site of the accident." He sighs deeply.
"Am deeply sorry for your loss…but…you must return with me at once to the Wayne's for your protection." He lifts his face and gazes straight into Alex Waynee's eye.
"What do you mean, my protection?" Alex Waynee says, his voice tremulous as he paced around the garden.
"The same night your dad and mom fled the mansion… all your uncles and their sons were assassinated, making you the only…"
"Living heir to the Waynes global empire's wealth," Alex said, still pacing around, his face smeared with trepidation.
"Master Alex! You really have to come back to the Waynes…"
"No way… the mansion where my uncles and my cousins were murdered…what of Ray, was he killed too?" His voice was tremulous.
"Sadly! Yes… not a single heir survived."
"I really can't go with you back to that house, not until I have found the one who is behind all this." His voice is Ortund.
Eric Raymond, his grandfather's butler stood up.
"Lady Margaret Wayne said you wouldn't agree to come…at least not yet… so she insisted you have your grandfather's premium elite card… it has access to over 100 million dollars…" stretching out his hand to Alex Waynee.
Alex Waynee turns his back on him.
"What's the meaning of this… is this Lady Margaret Wayne trying to make up for all the years the Waynes had left to suffer…to be humiliated like a dog by nobodies?" Anger reeked all over him.
"I assure you that is not the case… master Alex… but you need these funds to survive while you and I figure out the culprit behind the murder of the Wayne's…I suspect the accident that took your parents lives was planned?" Eric Raymond is now sitting on the well.
"But by who?... You know what, I will have the access card… I have some payback to do." His face glinted as he smirked.
"Not just that, Lord Luthor had purchased almost all the companies back at Beethoven clove and the popular Elvis global empire was purchased 2 days ago by Lady Margaret Wayne in your name… these are the documents." He says as he hands over a file to him.
"Also, Lord Luthor Wayne insisted you have his Elite smartphone, it's the only one in the country, it has all the number of the most influential people in whistling meadows, Beethoven clove and across the country… any call placed from this phone is treated with utmost urgency and respect."
"I also came with a VIP pass to the best hotel, where you will now be living and some Rolls Royce just in case you want to travel.."
"How many Rolls Royce did you say you came with?" Alex Waynee asks, his eyes furrowed in astonishment.
"Just 14, Master Alex."
"Just 14, Are you kidding me? What am I supposed to do with 14 Rolls Royce…open a car stand?… that wouldn't be necessary…I will just keep the elite card, the smartphone and the documents."
"Your number is here right?"
"Yes sir."
"That would be all, I appreciate… Who did you say, told you about my location again?"
" A dead man." Eric Raymond said laughing as he made his way out of the garden park.
Moments later…
Alex Wayne is running towards the venue where the Douglas family had their end-of-the-year party, he could hear the voice of Sandra Douglas screaming, it was as though someone was beating her.
Oh my God!
Sandra, what have they done to you?

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."

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?

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.

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."

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.

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.
