Drexel was in the meeting hall with the foreigners, when he felt like someone hit him on his head.
He had a hard and aggressive countenance on."Are you okay?" one of the men asked."Yes I'm fine, thank you," Drexel did not care to fake a smile.He lifts his hand to his face as he felt hot liquid dripping down his face. He brought his hand down to his face."Blood!" he said alarmed.He knew what was going on, his forehead was already red from the hit.he wanted to end the meeting as he was afraid someone might have decided to kill her."what if Albert gets to her," he thought.he was absentminded and he was not listening to what the men around him were saying."What's your take on that, Mister Mason," one of the gray-haired man asked.he looked on at them speechless as he doesn't even know what they were talking about anymore."We would see about that," Drexel said nodding his head.All the men at the table were confused by his response as they do not know what he was talking about.that very moment Tyler came in, upon seeing him, Drexel stood up beckoning to him to come.he pushed him forward making him stand facing them."I'm sorry but something so important came up, he will let you in on everything," he said faking a smile.Tyler had a grim look on his face then he noticed the red patch on his forehead, he was sure that Drexel wouldn't have involved himself in a fight in just this little moment he had left him, what then happened to his head? "He sure knows how to dump his responsibility on me," Tyler said slightly annoyed."did you pack it at my favorite spot?" Drexel whispered to Tyler."Yeah, I did, the.......keys" he stretch his hand with the keys over to him but at the speed of lightning he had stormed out of the office."What is wrong with him," Tyler breathed in frustration.he faced the men who had been watching the drama unfolding in front of them and smile."So gentlemen, where were we?" he asked them cheerfully.Drexel stormed into the lift, he didn't let the lift stop on any floor, straight to the last floor it went.he ran to his car and pull the door."Shit! My keysssss! he screamed angrily.he used the small pin on his wristwatch to open the door of the car and went in he used a manual way to kickstart the car.this was one common knowledge of assassins.he zoomed off from that premises to his villa.Drexel was sweating profusely when he got to his villa, it was quiet contrary to how he had pictured the house to be.somewhere in his mind, he wished his theory of feeling her pain was wrong and that someone had killed her but if his theory was right."I won't let anyone that raises a hand not even a pat on her shoulder, I will murder that person," he said to himself.he met the guards outside as it should.He rushed inside his enormous villa, and aside from the guards he met the chief servants and the home caretaker. Mrs. Lilly Donovan was quite old with gray hair."Good evening, young master," she greeted."Where is our guest?" he asked anxiously."We had no guest here today sir," was all she said with a smile.His sanity disappeared as he brought out his phone to call Tyler and lash him with his tongue."Young master, why don't you check the rooms, I went for groceries, maybe the guest might be in one of the rooms," though if it were one of the men that had just given him such advice he would have punished him, but now that she's one of his oldest staff and also old enough to be his mother.Drexel just gave her a stern look and he was sure she understands it."I'm sorry, young master," she pleaded.He put back the phone in his back pocket, Drexel muttered to himself." Not that I can call him now""just take care of yourself," he said to her as he move around the room.Drexel does not want all the guards to find out that he didn't kill the lady he was supposed to kill. He knew Albertrosso will do everything to get back at him, not that he was scared, but he was not ready to fight now. not when he could feel the pain of this worthless woman, he thought to himself.Drexel was now done with checking the down-floor rooms, his villa which had fifty-five well-furnished rooms and thirteen empty rooms, he was half way done with the fifteenth, when one of the strongest and dumbest guard came up to him."Boss," he greeted him."Yes, Brooke are you okay?" Drexel asked.Brooke was shut of words, this was the first time since he had been here that the boss had called his name and now he didn't just call his name, he had asked him if he was okay.He was beyond happy, so he stood speechless in shock and awe.Drexel was not used to talking to the people around him so, he didn't care much about their expression and he know nothing about it either.he frown at Brooke that was staring at him like he was in a stupor."Ahhh, I have no time to entertain this nonsense," Drexel said as he turned his back on him."Boss," he ran after him."What is it again Brooke?" he said turning to face him with his brow knitted."A black-haired woman with a coat on, tried escaping from the empty nineteenth floor upstairs and I.....," he announced."Not a word to anyone brooke!" He warned."Yes, Bo.. "Drexel did not let him finish his words, as he stormed headlong towards the stairs.He reach the door with a hinge breath, he turn the door knob and the door creaked open.it was pitch dark in there, he walk confidently towards the switch and turned on the light, he had studied most of the rooms during his training and he knew exactly where a switch is always placed on a wall of a room."Here you are," he said to the lady curled on the bare floor half unconscious.Drex POVI can't believe I am doing this! She said it as a mere suggestion; a passing thought.At first, I discarded the idea, that I do not need to play in power politics to bring Albertrosso down but later, it struck me.In this game, the best way to make an opponent deploy all their secret weapon is when they feel threatened.So, I decided to heed Ava's advice. There's so much more to her than meets the eye.Sometimes, I end meetings in a hurry just to be around her. She has not realized it yet, but most of her statements hold one or two brilliant ideas. Maybe because she feels less panic than she initially felt. I have also noticed that my countenance and moods have been a lot more stable than usual; with fewer mood swings, and more focus.It all depends on how her state of mind.As I head back home from the office, her thoughts preoccupied my mind.Suddenly my phone rang- Tyler"Yes?""Hey boss, there is a special message for you..." Said Tyler over the phone."Who is it from?"
"Get my new coat" ordered Sarafina. She's been thinking ever since she saw the news.After much thought, she decided that it is time to pay Albertrosso a visit to his quarters.Sarafina and Albertrosso meet only on schedule. The mafia lord has set a strict rule that his wife is not allowed in his chambers unless when invited or it is an emergency.Earlier that day, she sent a message to him that she will be paying him a visit by noon.Sarafina put on a long armless gown, which hugs her skin to the knees where it parted with a slit and a flare.Red is the color for a meeting like this. She aims to capture Albertrosso with her alluring look. Though she is well into her fifties, she looked stunning in the dress.On getting to the large entrance, the guard opened the door for her and greeted her, bowing his head slightly, "Good day ma'am"Sarafina with her chin held up high merely grunted a "Hm" reply without turning to look his way.Just as she appeared, she was taken aback by Albertross
Chapter #Ava's POVA ray of light shone on my face, waking me up from my peaceful sleep.I squinted my eyes as I tried to open them. Something about this morning feels different. It feels...cozy!I threw my eyes open at last and almost jumped out of bed.My messy head and hair lay firmly on a muscular arm stretching far to the other side cornering around my back!My thighs lay high and curved on top of strong abs which is someone's stomach. Drexel's stomach!I froze in bed.I tried to move my leg but he stirred. I stiffened.Then he was motionless again.Slowly, I began to pull my leg, stopping when he stir, until it was completely off his.I rolled away and sat up ready to jump down from the bed."Hey, messy kitten" A drowsy voice called.Damn, he sounds so so..I don't know!I stopped in my track. "You are up so early huh? Ready to get those resources flowing now?" He askedI squeezed my eyes shut. Unbelievable!How can that be the first thing he is talking About?"Good morning, sl
The old lady asked the driver to halt the car. She stepped out of the car and pulled her glasses. The street hasn't changed much but there are more buildings now.As she walked slowly, memories flooded her. The air still smelled the same."Georgina Street" a signboard read. The building which housed her and her ex-lover for over five years still stood there looking the same.Tears swell in her eyes. She mounted the stairs up to apartment '7832' Yes. She remembers the number to date.As she approached the door her heart raced.Two quick knocks and the door gave way. The face which she will never forget till the end of time came into view-RodriguezAt the sight of her, the pleasant look on his face instantly turned sour."Who are you?" He asked bitterly, making a distorted face. Anita's heart sank at once.How dare Anita show her face again after all these years- twenty whole years for that matter? thought Rodriguez.Anita felt betrayed. There was no way Rodriguez would ever forget
"Speak, you imbecile!", Sarafina yelled at the battered guard at the brink of death. She has been torturing him for over an hour now, but the seemingly loyal guard has refused to spill even a word. According to him, he is dead anyway, whether he speaks or not.Sarafina grew furious and impatient. She stood up slowly from her sit and threw the glass of sizzling hot water at him. His muffled cry echoed throughout the old warehouse now turned slaughterhouse."You loyal dog! I will send you to the hell you badly crave!" She croaked devilishly, grabbed a knife from one of her men standing close by, and slit the guard's throat in one single motion. It is not her first and not the last.Blood splashed on her. A croak-ish sound could be heard coming from the slitted throat. She let go of the knife in her hand which fell to the floor with a clanking sound. And just like that, she wiped her blood-stained hands on one of her men's shirts.Though disgusted by the act, he dare not make a fuss o
"Boss, litters of bodies have been found on the scene. No sign of Miss Ava in sight. Another thing.." The Journalist hesitated."Speak Cornelius!" The Boss, Daily Times Newspaper, ordered impatiently."The body of one of the Mothers has been found alongside the other bodies, it also carries a note. Shit! Boss, I think you need to see this.." Cornelius said, his voice filled with urgency"Get out of there, right now! Get out!" He ordered and hung up.He has been worried for three days nonstop. No news about Ava's whereabouts reached him, he hasn't heard from her ever since she left.What worries him most is that even the man who he has put in charge of Watching Ava has not contacted him in daysHe is beginning to panic and that is why he sent his best journalist, Cornelius to go check the orphanage which was Ava's last location communicated to him by his man before he went AWOL.Cornelius said he met bodies there including the body of the house Mother and Ava missing. It could only me
