Asriel drove up to Elvira's apartment. He was feeling a little tipsy and hoped to just get some sleep, but when she invited him over, he had to go.Asriel couldn't understand how he had suddenly become drank, not after the little whiskey he had taken which normally had no effects on him." Boss, you don't look so good, I suggest you should head home and relax," Nicko said glancing back at Asriel who supported his head with his hand." Aren't we close?" Asriel asked, his voice almost inaudible." Yes sir, we are like two minutes away," Nicko said.Asriel supported his head to the headrest before he had passed out.Nicko was torn on what to do as he came to a stop on the parking lot. He wanted to turn back, but Asriel's mobile rang. " Are you almost here?" Came Elvira's anxious voice." I'm sorry ma'am, but the boss just passed out. I'm at the parking lot, but I suggest I should take him home," Nicko responded." Just help him up, it would be better to let him rest here. Besides, he's
At Elvira's huge mansion, she had slowly woken up due to the excitement about all her accomplishments. She slept for nearly two hours before she lay there, still, beside Asriel, her eyes clear of sleep.She felt him move, and at that instant, she lay still, her eyes shut completely. The cold air hit her naked butts before the warm blankets covered it.Asriel had woken up lightheaded. He glanced around at the strange surrounding till he had landed his eyes on the naked body beside him, his eyes immediately returned to his own, naked as well. He immediately covered her up noticing the little goosebumps on her body. He supported his head with his hands as he tried to remember what happened last night, but he was totally blank.Slowly he got up from the bed and stepped on the floor, only for his legs to land on the clothes littered on the floor. He walked into the bathroom, his butts naked and unbothered. He had cleaned himself before he went back into the room.Elvira was up, the blanket
Three guards rushed into the room at once and held Asriel down. He struggled to keep himself up, but they had overpowered.His blazing eyes glanced at Elvira. If hatred could kill, then his eyes alone could have thrown a thousand daggers at Elvira heart."You'll pay for this," Asriel uttered as he was dragged outside.The room became suddenly quiet, the board members glancing uneasily at the lady before them. They had feared Asriel, but if she were able to do that to him, then she was far more lethal." Forgive me for the little scene. I'm hopeful that we can't create good working conditions, and hopefully everything will run out smoothly.And I'm here to assure everyone here, that your investments are safe with me. Drusilla is here to help, and with her back, I'm sure your confidence in the company is upheld," The members only nodded at this." Anyways, I think that was enough drama for today. We'll organise a little party, just for us, to get to know each other better. Otherwise, I
Asriel stood by a cliff, staring down at the green valley below him. His head hurt badly, he was funding it difficult to breathe. Some invisible force was squeezing the life out of him. He grasped for air as he supported himself to a huge rock before he had slowly slumbered to the ground, leaning on the rock.Before long, he had closed his heavy eyes, drowning in total darkness. For the first time in his life, he had been hopeless, as useless as an empty shell.Zia drove off into the sparsely forested area before she stopped at the base of the steep hill. She had parked her car next to that of Asriel. She was moving up when an approaching car caught her attention. She stood there, till a woman in high heels and a long dress stepped out of the car. Zia identifed her easily as she walked closer to her, though with a lot of difficulty." Zia, is that right?" Elvira asked with a smirk." You have any problems with me?" Zia asked with a creased brow." Nah...I had no idea we could be at th
" Thank you ma'am, I better get going now," Zia said breaking off the embrace. She had felt vulnerable for the first time in her mother's embrace, something she had yearned for her entire life, someone who truly loved her, her real mother, her she was, and she didn't feel all the warmth she had desired, more like she was forcing things from the other end." Zia, could we meet up and talk," Getrude said, holding onto Zia's hand." Sure, call me whenever you are ready," Zia said and broke away from her grasp. She turned around, holding the tears that threatened to fall from her eyes. She had lost a mother, yet gained another who seemed unwilling to recognise her.She wiped off the tear that had escaped her eye before she glanced around. Her eyes rested in the general, having a chat with Elvira. She now confirmed they had truly known each other." General, I must say I was surprised seeing you here," Elvira started." Likewise to you. So, what's your relations with Zia? " The general ask
Zia stood infront of the huge mirror as she admired herself. She had let her hair loose. Satisfied, she had one last glance at the image on her laptop screen. The beautiful family picture. Her mother and siblings, the late president. What a happy family.Zia had mastered all their names, the kind of jobs they did, and basically all their lives. She had been surprised leaning that Alvin was really her step brother.They had met a few years ago, while Zia had accompanied her dad in a business meeting abroad. He had shown some kind of interest in her, but due to the tight schedule, they hadn't seen each other after that. Zia wondered if he had known from back then that they had been related. Zia immediately stepped out of the villa, headed for her red car before she had driven away.It had been exactly one month since she had promised her mother to visit their house, to get to know her family, and here she was, driving in the posh presidential estate.The buildings weren't that magnifi
Zia had driven fast out of the presidential estate. She had hoped to catch up with Alvin and maybe get to talk. But the road ahead was clear and awefully quiet. It was few minutes to eleven at night, when almost everyone had retired into their homes for the night.Zia had drifted off the main highway as she took a short cut that would lead back to her villa. She was driving fast when few meters ahead she spotted close to three vehicles that had blocked the road. She slowed down before she had retrieved her binoculars that were at her back seat.Her eyes scanned the cars from a distance having parked by the road. She had spotted close to three guys, heavy guns in their hands. Then her eyes spotted the car she felt a little familiar with, the same car she had found parked at the Washington family mansion.Zia squinted her eyes to get a clear view of the car, and she could see him, Alvin held at gunpoint by one of the men as the other ransacked his pockets, the other searched around in th
Zia sighed, she needed to move in. It was at that moment she had concentrated on eavesdropping that a guy came out of nowhere and spotted her at once. He fired a gun at her which she expertly dogged. With her cover broken, she leapt and caught the guy by the throat, slicing it such that blood oozed out immediately.With the guys inside alert, Elvira moved back and entered the next room.Kelon had his gun pointed at Alvin." Shoot that bastard," Elvira shouted as she left. No, she couldn't be part of a gun battle." I'll blow your brains off, now give it to me Alvin," Kelon threatened. His fingers shook with the gun in his hand. He had never killed someone before.Another bullet had gone through the door, the intruder must definitely be close by." Guys, go check it out," Kelon said holding him at gunpoint.With the guys gone, Alvin calculated his moves. Whoever it was that had gone to rescue him had entered into a lion's den, and he had better save himself first.At once, Alvin got up
