The Hunt For The Fugitive Bride Chapter 10
Elise's pov;Without answering my questions, Mr Alarcon went inside the house. When I followed him to question him again, he said it's lunch time and went to the dining table. I sat with Mr Alarcon and Brian at the dining table. We ate in silence until Steve came to us and said something to Mr Alarcon in his ears. Mr Alarcon stood up and said, “You two stay at the house and dont go outside.” And pointed at me and continued, “Especially, you. Stay.” And hurriedly left the house along with Steve. When I looked at him, all the people who were working on clearing the snow left. Soon, some men in black suits came and stood in front of the house, guarding it from someone. What's happening here? While I was being confused about what's happening around me, Brian said, “There must be another threatening call.”I looked at him and asked, “What?”“He gets it every now and then.”“Threatening? Who?”He pointed the fork at himself and said, “Me. It's always about me. Dad says there's some bad p

Elise's pov;After everyone left, I went straight to my room after bidding goodnight to Brian. When I closed the door and laid on the bed, someone knocked on the door. Is it Brian? When I opened, Mr Alarcon was standing before me. Is he here to scold me? I said, rubbing my eyes, “I feel so sleepy. Can we talk tomorrow?”He stepped into my room and closed the door behind. “Mr Alarcon…”“I asked you to call me Max. Did you forget it already?”“I'm sorry… Max.”“Begin eating green vegetables a lot because you tend to forget a lot of things.” he sat on my bed and continued, “Who are those people who came tonight? You mentioned them as your friends but I heard them calling you as boss.”“They work in my bakery store. I consider them as my friends, that's why I introduced them as my friends.”“Is this how you treat your workers? If you give them a lot of space then they'll take advantage and don't do anything properly. They're workers so treat them as one.”Is he here to give me lessons?

Elise's pov;I came to Mr Alarcon house at 8 pm because we cleared out some stuff for decorations. When I came to the house, I saw Mr Alarcon and Brian eating at the dining table. Wasn't it too soon for dinner time? According to Mr Alarcon's rules. Brian yelled, “Emily, be quick. Let's have dinner together.”After seeing them together, I said, “It's alright. I ate out with my friends.” And I headed upstairs to my room in order to not disturb them. I dropped down on the bed as I stared at the ceiling above me. Mr Alarcon told me he'll help me but how am I going to ask him? And how should I do it? Should we make another deal? It's not a big amount to make a deal though. Let's just think of it as a loan and borrow from him. I feel hungry. I should have at least eaten the brownies which Teresa made at the store. I can't even go down stairs since Mr Alarcon and Brian are having their dinner. I sprang up from the bed and took my wallet and went downstairs. I said to Mr Alarcon, “I'm mee

Elise's pov;At my store, while I was calculating the expenses for the decorations inside my cabin, Teresa barged in saying, “Boss, your husband's here.”Husband? Oh, yeah. That guy. “Why do you look like you saw a ghost?”“You'll get it if you see for yourself, boss.”I came out of the cabin and when I saw him sitting with clenched jaws with a hostile glare. And he was surrounded by his mafia-like subordinates. What is he doing here with his men? Is he trying to make a scene? I sat across from him and asked, “What are you doing here?”His subordinates walked out of the store dragging my staff along with them. Mr Alarcon placed a piece of paper saying, “Sign it.”When I took a look at it, there were a number of rules listed in that paper and the first rule was not to leave the house after 10 pm. I gave back the paper saying, “No.”“What do you mean by no?”I let out a sigh and said, “I'm not one of your subordinates to go by the rules set by you.”He looked around my store and ask

Elise's pov;When I woke up, I was in the hospital bed this time. The white ceiling and the antiseptic smell surrounded me and when I lifted my head, I saw Mr Alarcon on his phone. After seeing me, he hung up on whoever he was on the call and asked me, “How do you feel now?”Why is he acting like he care about me? “What happened to me?” I asked as I sat straight on the bed. “I'll call the doctor.” And walked out of the room. The door opened and Mr Alarcon walked in along with the doctor. The doctor asked me, “When did you had your last meal?”“Morning.”“So that means you skipped lunch and dinner?”When I gave him a nod, he continued, “Skipping meals will make your blood sugar levels to drop that's why you fainted.” “I'll prescribe supplement tablets for you. You can take them after your meal. But avoid taking them in empty stomach.”Mr Alarcon asked the doctor, “Can I take her home then?”“Yeah, you can discharge her now.” And the doctor left. Mr Alarcon said, “I'll finish the d

Elise pov;At my bakery store, While we're arranging the tables, Jared came to our store asking, “Looks like you decorated the store finally.” He walked around while saying, “Oh, you put up the window display too. It's nice…”Teresa, “Boss, is he really here to praise or tease us?”“Do you still doubt that?” Teresa let out a chuckle and asked, “Doesn't he have a store to look after? Why is he always coming here, boss?”“There's only one word to describe. Jealousy.” And let out a chuckle. Theo talked to him, “Mr Matthews, would you like to see our menu?”Jared replied that he's only here to take a look and went to the Christmas tree. When theo gave a fed up look, I said to him, “Let him be. Don't mind.”Theo gave a stare at me and walked to the bill counter. I walked to him and asked, “How long will you give me this silent treatment?”When he didn't answer, I continued, “What if someone thinks we had a fight? Do you want that?”Theo, “Boss, it's business hours. Let's not talk abou

Elise's pov;The next morning, At the dining table, while everyone was having their breakfast quietly, Brian broke the silence by asking, “Elise, when will you come to my school today?”“Today?”“The performance that I'm doing for the Christmas program is today. Did you forget it already?”I shook my head and said, “I do remember. I was just thinking about something else. When will the program start? When should I be there at your school?”“The program will start at 10 am but my part will come by 11am.”“Okay, I'll be there.” And gave a smile at him before getting back to eating. Brian asked Mr Alarcon, “Dad, I'll be waiting for you too.”Mr Alarcon, “I have a meeting today so I'll try to come.”Brian tapped on my hand and said, “Elsie, dad's making an excuse. Ask him to come see my performance.”Instead of talking to Mr Alarcon, I said to Brian, “Don't worry, I'll be there to cheer for you.” and patted his head. When we finished breakfast, he started getting ready for school. In t

Elise's pov;After closing the store, I messaged Mr Alarcon that I'll be late and turned off the phone. Because I know he's going to flood my notification if I leave it on. I took a cab and headed to Mr Malcolm Hart's office. Mr Alarcon’s father. The reception didn't allow me and asked many questions since I came without any prior notice. After some calls, they allowed me to go to Mr Hart's office. When I entered the cabin, Mr Hart asked me to take a seat and asked, “What is it that you want to talk to me about?”I don't know if Mr Hart knows about Mr Alarcon's other business so I have to be careful with my choice of words. “I'm here to talk about Brian.” I said. He placed the file on the table he was looking into before and asked, “What do you want to talk about him?”“I came to know that Brian's parents passed away in an accident, Sir.”“So?” He asked like he didn't care about it. “If it's possible, I want to know if there are relatives from Brian's mother's side in touch. So tha
