Allen arrived at his office and his appearance was just the normal way of how things were being run in the company. He was going through one of the files on his table as usual with Kyle on the sofa watching a soccer match. He was deeply engrossed in it and couldn't hide his excitement whenever his favourite team won. The office was soundproof luckily so Allen was faced with no other choice but to go for the last option...pretend to be deaf by putting on the bluetooth device. A female secretary knocked, despite the music blasting through the earpiece and the soccer going on, the two men could still hear the knock. At a moment, Kyle cheerful look turned cold while Allen's remained expressionless. " Come in. " He ordered. The secretary dressed in a tight fitted skirt and a top walked in swaying her hips effortlessly. Kyle didn't spare a glance at her as his eyes were still glued to the screen. The secretary frowned a little because she had dressed this way to impress and seduce the
Allen's car halted in front of an abandoned building and he looked at his left-hand side as if searching for a human's movement. The breeze blew softly against his cold skin as he got out of the car. It was late in the evening already. He pressed the Bluetooth device in his ear to receive the incoming call. " I just arrived and I am about to go in. " He said and the caller ended the conversation.Allen walked towards the building and opened the door. He entered, and his feet made a loud sound on the broken glasses on the ground. He looked around the room which appeared to be the sitting room scrutinizing each detail he could find. He brought out his phone and dialed Xander's number. " Yes, Allen. " " I am in the sitting room right now. " Allen said. " Okay. Find the basement, I believe that he must be there. " " How sure are you that it is the basement? " Allen asked silently. " The basement is a place of an evil hideout, Allen. " Xander replied and ended the call.The weak wood
Kyle did not say a word until they arrived at Allen's mansion. If Old Madam Ryan's mansion was big then this mansion was super huge than anything she could have ever imagined. Though she wasn't the religious type, she also heard that if you build a whole building on this Earth, you can only sleep in a room designed only for you. Her mysterious husband's status must be high.Kyle peeped at the rearview mirror for the second time, the look of admiration that Jane had on her face was pleasing to see. He did a roundabout following the area of a garden filled with different types of flowers before he parked the car in an allocated area, the garage.He quickly got out of the car but before he could rush over to open the door like he closed it earlier, Jane had already gotten out of it. " Whoa. "She wondered that maybe going for the contract wasn't really bad. Since it was dark already, she could hardly see the exterior designs in the compound but she assured herself that tomorrow was goin
The next morning, Jane woke up from her bed feeling more relaxed or better still, more energetic than ever. She opened her eyes clearly and looked at the spacious room. Where was she? It didn't look like she was kidnapped or battered so where...oh, she remembered that she was brought in here by a handsome-looking man just to see her husband and probably to start living with him. Then she was reminded by her heart that she ought to be downstairs last night for dinner so she braced herself up and went to the bathtub. Taking a bath in the tub was overwhelming but it would take her some time so she used the shower instead.She had her towel tied around her wet hair as sheopened the wardrobe, to her surprise, it was filled with different ladies' dresses and mostly underwear. That made her blush. Where and when did they get to buy these? Was there perhaps a female living in this same room that she was staying in now before or did her supposed husband just happen to be a pervert?Neverthele
After Bert made sure that she was satisfied with the morning meal she had eaten, they started the tour of the mansion. He began to introduce the rooms to her and also some parts of the mansion so she wouldn't get confused.The mansion had five bedrooms, four sitting rooms, a mini cinema house and a sports arena, a big swimming pool, and a gym house. Jane was being blasted by surprises, this was something she couldn't comprehend.She only saw this in the movies and not, in reality,everything was overwhelming to her. "I hope you like it... everything, Miss Jane?" Bertasked. He needed a positive response from her so his head wouldn't get beheaded unnecessarily, at least not after what he had seen that morning. "Like it? I love it! " Jane screamed that Bert had to cover both ears so they didn't get blocked by her screams. "I am sorry, I didn't mean to yell like that. " She tucked the strand of her brown hair behind her ear as it had covered her face. "It's fine. "Bert said. " Are t
In another part of the city, inside a big air-conditioned office with different trophies neatly arranged on the shelf and turned towards the entrance so it could show off the glory of its master, a man sat on the sofa provided at the other end of the office. He had a calm posture as he flipped his office file one after the other. His skin wasn't pale but white and attractive which could sweep girls off their feet. He didn't have that chilly aura and vibe that Allen exhibited but he was also feared and respected among his mates, he was no other than the first son of Ezekiel and Rose Ryan.As he continued his work, someone barged into his office which startled him. It was no one else than his father, Ezekiel Ryan. He was panting heavily like he had just run a marathon and his face formed wrinkles due to the negative energy oozing out of him. He looked at his son who was also staring at him with his calm posture.Stephen was counting the seconds left in his head before his father would e
Allen arrived home in his car alongside Xander and his brother, Kyle. He walked in and saw that the house was lifeless, not that it was expected to be filled with life though. He couldn't sense any being's presence. He furrowed his eyebrows as he climbed the stairs to his room. On his way, he stopped in front of the room Jane slept in last night and stared at it for a while. He felt a different yet strange energy coming from the room but he continued his walk. On getting to his room, he scanned his right palm to unlock the door and entered.He closed the door and removed his suit before pouring himself a glass of his red drink as usual. Instead of gulping it down as once, he simply relished the warm taste of the drink. Someone knocked on the door but he didn't respond for a minute. The person knocked again. "Come in. " His cold voice ordered.Bert walked in, slightly shivering as he faced Allen. "Where is she? " Allen asked. " She went out this morning and she is yet to be back. "
Jane wriggled slightly as her eyes fluttered open. She squeezed then a bit and yawned. Wait... Why did it feel like she was hugging a stiff object? She opened her eyes more clearly to see what was ongoing, she saw that she wasn't hugging a stiff object but a stiff human, a stiff what now? She raised her head only to face Allen's light brown eyes staring at her. If she was to compliment him through words, he looked gorgeous like an idol. She just couldn't believe that she was here with such a handsome man. She froze for a while because Allen didn't even blink as his stare intensified. " If you are done... "Allen's voice sounded cold.She dashed away from him and covered her face with her palms, her face had turned crimson. Why did it have to happen? Allen looked at the woman who was now blushing hard. " I am so sorry. I didn't mean to. " Jane apologized. " You didn't mean to? You were clinging to me like a Koala bear. "Allen spoke as he stared at her and this made Jane blush harder.
