Lisa's POV
I entered the taxi and he started driving slowly, a man stopped him and also got into the taxi.
"Have you heard the latest news?" He asked the driver, I felt it was abnormal and highly bad to chat in a taxi because I couldn't do it, I hated it.
"I knew someone would bring up this topic and I'm excited, I'm just happy because people are seeing the type of man they voted as the best event planner in the Flutopia awards." The driver replied.
"What news?" I asked, I couldn't even stop myself, I wanted to hear the full gist.
"Aren't you in New York?" He asked rudely and I stared at him. "An old lady just fainted a few minutes ago, a billionaire splashed mud on her dress and she went to report to the cops, she fainted there, the internet is buzzing with news." He said and I frowned.
"It's the woman's fault, it must have been a mistake and she should have gotten over it, reporting to the cops was highly unnecessary." I replied and he brought out his phone and handed it to me.
"Ma'am, this woman is just a poor woman trying to leave her life, she's just a woman trying to survive, Mr Douglas revealed her identity as Mrs Kendrick." He said and my heart skipped a beat for a second.
Why did the name sound familiar? I looked at the picture on his phone and my heart raced. I almost screamed as I covered my mouth in shock. It was my mom.
I opened the car door and stepped out the car, I stopped a bike quickly. "Mauritius Hospital." I told him and he nodded, I climbed the bike and he drove off.
Alex's POV
"How's her condition?" I asked the doctor.
"She has not yet opened her eyes, she experienced serious shock and a cardiac arrest, we're doing everything to make her stable." He answered and I frowned.
"Look, if the press comes here, I'll deal with you, I'll kill you and you know that, if she's not waking up, get rid of her." I whispered and his eyes widened.
"I can't do that, she's an old lady." He reminded me.
"Should I do it then?" I asked.
"I can't kill my patient." He answered.
"Dr Johnson, if the press comes here, everything is going to be worse, totally everything, there's no way I can fix this, that's why you need to kill her." I said angrily, losing my temper.
"Sir, I killed the last person because of my sister's child, I'm not going to kill anyone again, it's my duty to save not kill."
"If you can't do it, I will." I said and walked into the room.
Suddenly, a lady also ran in, she didn't look at me, she just ran to hug the woman. She had started crying and brought her face up to look at me.
"You bastard." She muttered and looked at me. She pushed me to the floor and hit me on my face, I kicked her stomach and reached out for my gun in my back pocket. Before I could fire a shot at her, she kicked my leg and I groaned in pain, the gun falling down to the floor.
I grabbed her and we fell to the floor, she picked up the gun and pointed it at me. I looked at her in shock, I was surprised how a woman could overpower me and was also skilled in martial arts.
The cops came immediately and found her pointing a gun at me, I smiled, she fearfully dropped the gun but it was too late, the first man held her hands and brought her down to her knees.
"You don't have to arrest her, I really understand her pain." I lied. If they had arrested her, I wouldn't gain and I wouldn't lose.
"Are you sure, Mr Alex?" The other officer asked and I nodded, they left the ward after grabbing the gun from her hand.
I looked at me and she looked at me back in disbelief. "Why did you do that?" She asked standing up.
"I love your skills, you're one out of skillful female fighters." I answered and she ignored me and went straight to her mom who was still unconscious.
"What did you do to her?" She asked angrily.
"Absolutely nothing, the doctor said she had a cardiac arrest and she experienced seizure." I answered.
"It's all your fault, once the press gets here, I'm going to reveal everything to them," She said and looked at me. "I'm going to tell them that you're a son of a bitch, you're nothing but a useless gangster and fashion designer, Mr Alex, I don't even know why I submitted my credentials in your company for a job." She added angrily.
James did talk of his girlfriend who submitted her credentials. LISA KENDRICK! "So you're Lisa Kendrick?" I asked.
"Yes but don't think I'll still come and work with you after what you've done to my mother." She answered.
"Actually, you don't have a choice, look at this, if you tell the press everything and confirm that I actually caused all of these, your mom would be dead in seconds." He warned and my eyes widened.
"What are you insinuating?" She asked, I could hear the fear in her voice. Of course, I had found her weakness.
"If you tell them the truth, I go to jail, you lose your mom, if I come out of jail," I said and paused. "I'll kill you." I added before the door opened and my doctor walked in.
"Miss Lisa, the press are waiting for you outside to give a report of what happened." He told her and looked at me.
I smiled back at him and she looked at me before going outside. "Mr Alex, what do you think? Is she going to expose you?" He asked.
I ignored his question and walked out, I couldn't count the number of people outside the ward. They were asking different questions but Lisa stayed silent.
"What happened Miss Lisa?" One of the media reporter asked.
Alex's POV"I have nothing to say to you." Lisa said and went back to her mother's ward. I followed her in with a smirk. She was already crying, I smiled.James walked in and saw me. "Alex, what happened, I just saw you on the news, I was very worried." He asked concerned and I smiled."Your girlfriend proved to be a bit stubborn." I answered and he looked at her."Lisa, are you alright?" He asked and she nodded."She's not my girlfriend, I lied just to get her the job." He said and I frowned.
Lisa's POVI smiled as I brought out my sketch book from my bag. A woman walked towards me with a smile. "Hey Lisa." She said."Hi, you're?"
Alex's POV"Where's Lisa?" James asked as I helped him stand up."She's gone home." I lied.
Lisa's POVI was shocked and I ran out of the hall and entered James's car.James came to meet me and entered the driver's seat. "What's wrong?" He asked."Alex is a psycho, he told them that he was the one who planned the event, I don't think I can work in his company again, I want to resign." I answered and he frowned.He heaved a deep sigh. "Lisa, it's not advisable for you to quit, Alex will give you a bad recommendation and no one would want to employ you." He said and my eyes widened.
James's POVThe door opened and Alex walked in. I quickly jumped off the bed and he looked at me. "What were you trying to do?" He asked."Nothing, I was just trying to make sure she's asleep." I lied.
Alex's POVHe kissed me for like five seconds, it didn't last and I didn't want it to. "Let's stop the game." Alex said offended."I agree with Alex, I should get going now, my parents would be worried." I replied."I'll drive you." James suggested and I smiled."Okay."Alex went upstairs and returned with my bag, he handed me my bag and climbed the stairs without saying a word, I frowned and entered James's car.
Alex's POV"So you're saying that you're agreeing to go against me?" I asked, offended."Of course, for a million dollars, c'mon, you ain't worth any shit." Oliver answered."Look, I know that James is a criminal but I'm your brother, I mean our brotherly connection can beat any other connection." I said and he laughed."I don't work for love bro, I work for money, just stay out of James lane, he might ask me to kill you and I won't hesitate to do so." My heart raced and I punched him in his jaw and he screamed in pain. I flipped him and put him in a tight headlock. He tried to grab me from behind and succeeded in kicking him in his knees.He gr
Lisa's POVI surprisingly pushed the door open, it wasn't locked. I walked in and my heart raced. The house was silent, "Alex," I called out and I heard a slight moan behind the sofa.I quickly fell to the floor when I saw Alex groaning in pain. "Alex, who did this to you?" I asked with tears, it appeared that he was bleeding from maybe a fight."Oli...oli...li..ver." He stammered.I didn't answer him, his brother couldn't never do anything to hurt him. I helped him get up and took him to his room. "Will you like to go to the hospital?" I asked as I laid him on the bed.He was able to talk now, I brought out his first aid box and looked at him. "I don'
