The early morning breeze blew strongly as Madeline's hair got romanced by the wind and a few strands covered part of her face. She suddenly regretted why she didn't tie it into a ponytail. She held the bedsheets in form of a rope tightly and her heartbeat accelerated with every passing minute. She was scared to her wits and her hands were shaking.She has never been this brave in her entire life and this was the first time she was pulling a stunt like this. Bending her head to look down, her hands almost let go of the rope bedsheets in fear and her whole body shook in the air. The rope bedsheet was now showing her a sign that it was not strong anymore. She was almost there. She was on the third floor and just two floors were remaining before she gets to the ground. She was terrified by all of this. What if the rope bedsheets suddenly cut and she fell? If she ever survives it would be a miracle and her well-shaped waist would be dislocated.Ring! Ring!Her phone rang loudly in her bag
They both stood up and walked in the direction where the sound came from. Madeline hurriedly came out of her hiding and sighed. Oh no! She had forgotten that the gate needed a remote button that would make it open. Goodness! Where was she going to find the remote to open this goddamn gate? Hell! She started tapping her foot several times on the ground as her head filled with different thoughts. She walked to the spot where the two gate guards were standing and looked around. Was it that they took the gate remote with them? That was bad.Madeline looked further and just then her eyes came in contact with a blue small remote on the ground. “Yes, that’s it.” She bent down to pick it up and looked at it in confusion. There were three buttons in it, different in size. The first was the biggest, the second was medium size and the last was the smallest. She didn’t know which button to press and what they were made for. Her finger unconsciously moved to the last button and she pressed it.
"I already told you, we're going to be using five and that's final. I don't care how you do it, but make sure it's possible," Elias ordered. "Yes sir," Mr. Madison replied. His employer is so difficult to deal with. Trying to extract some more money from him is harder than walking on a burning furnace. Ring Ring! Elias's phone rang and he decided to ignore it. "Now, show us what you have for us, Mr. Benson. I hope..."Ring Ring!"Damnit!" He exclaimed before angrily answering the call. "What the fuck do you want. Do you desire my wrath?" He roared at the person on the other side of the phone. "What! I'll be right there," he exclaimed and abruptly stood up from his chair. "Sir, where are you going? We're in the middle of a meeting," Mr. Benson said as they all looked at him."This meeting is adjourned," he declared before wearing his mask and storming out of the conference room, ignoring
After waiting for a while, Elias decided to go look for her himself. He stood up from the chair and headed to the door of the room when the door pushed open and someone walked in."Brother Elias? Why is everyone running up and down in your mansion?" Evelyn asked. "Why are you here?""I came to see you. I don't think it's wrong coming to see you once in a while. I do that usually you know," she replied, her voice sweeter and tiny than usual. She gave him a shy smile and used her forefinger to curl her hair. "If you have nothing reasonable to say, get out of my way. As you can see, I'm busy," he said, trying to walk out, but she quickly clenched his arms."Wait, Elias. Your father sent me here." "Why did he send you here? Speak.""He gave me that task you so much wanted and he wants you to guide me," she answered."What? Don't you dare lie to me, Evelyn.""Won't you? I also want to be respected in the organization. You're the only one who yields so much power as the don. I also want
Evelyn quickly rushed to him and held his arms to prevent him from leaving. She knew that the only thing stopping him from dealing with her was the rules of the organization. She could see him stopping himself from forcefully throwing her off him. "Evelyn," she heard his deep voice call. "I'm warning you again. You won't like what I'll do to you if you don't get your hands off me," he threatened. He was trying his best to hold himself back. He doesn't want any more problems but if she doesn't listen to him, he was going to forget about everything and teach her a lesson. Her grip on him was so tight and the more he tried to remove his arms from her hands, the more she clung to him. He didn't want to hurt her and that was why he was asking her nicely. "Ok, fine, fine, Elias. If you don't love me, it's fine. If you don't want to divorce that girl and get married to me, it's fine. If you hate seeing my face, it's fine too. I won't bother you anymore, but please grant my last request,"
“Yes, I wanted to kill her. I would have done it if I hadn't found out now. I have known you for years but you never loved me, talk more of getting married to me. But you went ahead and married that lowlife who isn’t up to your profile,” Evelyn continued, moving her hands furiously. “Her family is rich, yes, but they are far below us. You got married to her and that’s why I wanted to get rid of her. She stole you away from me. If I may ask, Elias. How could you allow your wife to walk around unprotected knowing fully well that you have lots of enemies? Haha. If this continues, then I won’t have to do anything and someone else will do it,” she laughed. Elias gritted his teeth and roared in anger.“Don’t you dare get involved in my family matters. If you try something like this again, I’m going to make your life more miserable than it already is. Don’t think you’re forgiven for this time because I’m not done with you. I’ll teach you a lesson.”His eyes were brewing fire making Evelyn
Elias strode into the restaurant and as always, all eyes turned to him. His aura and appearance screamed power and influence. He walked to the reception and asked the fair well dressed lady. “Where is your boss?”“Hello, sir. Do you want a VIP or VVIP private room?” She asked, flashing him a charming smile. His fingers tapped the reception table in annoyance as he glared at the lady who was smiling broadly at him. “I asked you where your boss is. Did I not?” He repeated.“Y..yes you did. If you want something I can ask someone to get it for you, sir.”Elias snapped. If this place was his, he was surely going to fire this receptionist. He hates it when someone makes him repeat himself. Obviously, this woman was doing one of the things he hates the most. His patience snapped and he hit the table and yelled at the lady. “Where the hell is your boss? If you make me repeat myself one more time, I'm going to throw you into the woods
“W-where are we going?” Madeline asked.“Scared for your life, huh?”Madeline kept quiet and decided to keep watching ignoring her beating heart. His presence in the car was making her so conscious, coupled with the fact that she was sitting too close to him, their legs almost brushing. He should at least give her some private space to breath. She was already leaning towards the window and still yet he was so close to her. He was doing this on purpose, she wassure of that. Making her uncomfortable on purpose. Maybe this was one of his ways of punishing her and making her regret leaving his mansion. Tsk. A hour later, their black expensive car finally drove into his mansion and came to a stop. The middle aged driver quickly came down and opened the back door for Elias to step out of it. Elias came down from the car and stretched his hand for the woman inside to take. Refusing to take his hands, Madeline opened the door at her side of the car and stepped out. She gulped when she hear
