Stone can be seen pacing around his room. Uneasiness was wrapped around him. His arms are clasped behind his back. He felt betrayed after hearing about Stacy as Jason's secretary. How could he do this to me? Has he been harbouring this lady all this while? Does he want to take all the wealth to himself? Are they a thing? His eyes flinched in utter shock and an abrupt movement, he turned to see Xavier standing behind him. This time it wasn't the calm Xavier but one whose countenance screamed anger and sadness. "Why him?" He mumbled. Stone stood there with a jumbled mind, his gaze fixated on him. "An order, just an order and I will end him. He can't be giving you this troub-""Silence Xavier. It's Jason! We are talking about not some random thug" he shunned Xavier who strode toward him as if he were to hit him. Tears welled at the edges of his eyes. "I'm here Stone. I'm always here. Why do I seem inconspicuous to you? You never ask me to do something of relevance but you use me as a sec
Xavier opened his eyes and got welcomed by a sharp headache. He groaned and sat down scratching his stiff nape. With bleary eyes, he scanned the room, it looked like his but there were no wallpapers. He stood up, cleaning his eyes slowly, everything looked strange. "Good morning..." He almost jumped out of his skin until he turned to see the lady who ran into him the other time, his new neighbour, Bethany. She waved awkwardly with a tray of cereals and milk sealed in a carton in her hands. Xavier squinted his eyes and darted them across the room. "Ho...w did I get here?" His eyes skirted to his shirt and he noticed that two buttons were loosen. "Did you touch m-" Bethany's eyes widened and she rushed to where he was. "No... You were sweating yesterday and I thought it right to unbutton the shirt, Not...hing happened between us" she blushed at the thought of that. Xavier squeezed his lips and Bethany's eyes followed the movement. He turned to leave when Bethany knock herself off the "b
Blaze lowered her face to the ground while Jason leaned on the wall. "And how is that my problem?" He asked coldly. She widened her eyes never expecting that statement. "Get your ass off my garage and leave my premises, we are done here" he peeled himself off the wall and was about to walk out when Blaze spoke up. "Please, the witch should be after me by now. She i...s heartless and merciless, I'm on the verge of losing my life or will lose it once caught on sight. I need your help." Her voice trembled as she explained. "I can do your chores and do everything you want" she crawled to his feet and her hair lay on his flip-flop. "Who told you that I want to keep a murderer in my custody? A murderer begging to be alive? Why don't you taste death yourself?" He kicked her off his feet making her grunt in pain."Aren't you one of us?" Jason stopped in his tracks to get what she was saying. "Seeing you fight that day gave out the fact. Also, the way you tortured me, your gun, your isolate
Jason adjusted making Alya stand upright, she apologized for being clumsy while Jason shot her a hard glare. He cleaned his shirt and sat down properly. Alya got irritated with the way he acted. "Why is he acting like I'm not a woman? Unlike some CEOs, I had met who won't hesitate to call me over for a night's stand." She grunted lowly."Meet Jeremy Miles at the end of the second floor for some documents and finalization. He will explain everything remaining" she smiled halfway, picked up her bag and left in search of Jeremy's office. Stacy blinked her eyes rapidly to avoid tears falling. The scene she saw at the office kept on replaying in her mind bringing back dead memories of Samuel her ex-lover with Alya her ex-best friend. Her head ached and she felt like going home to get proper sleep. She couldn't hold back the tears, their overpowered her and kept falling. Later on, She took a deep breath, cleaned her face and took out the document to submit in Jason's office. On getting th
"I thought you were smarter than this, Jason" Xavier crossed his legs as Jason uttered nothing, waiting for him to continue."I just realized that you were no good. I wonder why he always chooses you over me" he scoffed and stood up while the wind played with his black leather jacket. His back was against Jason. He tucked one of his hands in his pocket and the other held his cigarette.Jason curled up his fist into a ball. He had this urge to punch him on his stomach or throw him off the roof. Xavier turned to him and continued"Stone's been looking for you and he's stupidly waiting for you to carry out your assignment" he scoffed and walked to him. "I'm sorry for him, 'cause he's obviously obsessed with you, turning a blind eye to your flaws, keeping me aside" he chuckled and stood upright. "Well, as a good son, I've turned out to be. I'm gonna help relieve him of his misery." "What are you driving at Xavier?" Finally, Jason spoke up curiously."I'll help you find Stacy Torres, or w
"Matteo?" Stacy called and ran towards him. She couldn't believe her eyes. She forgot about her torn clothes when she crashed her body into his, in a hug. He reciprocated and after a few seconds, he led her by the hand and scurried away. They got into his car and he drove towards a route. Jason drove like an insane man, where could she be? He felt angry, he felt like killing anyone that troubles him at the moment. "I'm so stupid! I should have known he was up to no good. He hit his sterling wheel consecutively in anger and frustration.Stacy's eyes trailed down to her body and she became seriously mortified. Matteo chose to ignore her torn clothes and kept on driving, Later on, he parked into a lonely bungalow and got down to open the door for Stacy. When she got out, She lowered her head to the ground walking hand in hand with him. After a few minutes, when they were already inside, he walked towards Stacy in a large-sized white shirt. "Here, change... I don't have any other clothe
Bethany cleaned her teary eyes and tried Stacy's phone for the fifth time, it was switched off. She's been trying her number while she was at the office. She wanted to ask her a few questions about everything. She was about to enter the cafeteria when she sighted Stacy moving out with Jason. "Something is fishy about those two and my best friend isn't willing to me yet, well, I'll wait. What else?" She asked herself angrily and left.She remembered her incident with Xavier and it made her feel bad. "Why would he do that?" She bit her lips and buried her head in her pillow. "Argh! She shouted."What should we do? Looks like Jason has bailed on us again" Stone yelled angrily banging on the table in front of him. Alya had a pen that she was biting on. "I want to ask, how did you gain control of such an adamant strong charming man?"Stone looked at her in anger before rolling his eyes. "It's none of your business" "If I remember correctly, you need my help. I thought we have gotten clo
Blaze wandered around the house. "Why are there no photos in this huge house? Boring..." She flipped the remote and tuned in the television. "Breaking news! a man has been washed ashore. He was identified as Mr Clark Derks and someone claimed that know his engagement with one of the Mafia clans in Italy." Blaze's jaw slacked "Clark? Clark's dead?" Tears brimmed at the edges of her eyes. Clark was her closest friend, her backbone. Someone that motivated her the most in the cartel, the person that made her reach the height she's at now. As one of the best in the witch clan. This failed assignment was assigned to her and Clark and now he's dead. "I'm sure, the witch has a hand in this" she clenched her fist and yelled furiously. "Why is she so heartless? All she does is issue instructions and nothing else. After a few seconds, she began panicking, losing him like this made her think about her life. Moreover, Clark and she were one of the witch's best crew but she just killed him li
