Ava rushed downstairs at the speed of lightning.She felt energetic and full of life, she met Mrs. Donovan where she had left her and she smiled cutely at her.making her way to the basement of the building through the wide hall that leads outside.she suddenly stops in her tracks, "I thought I heard someone groan just now," she said to herself.she took another step, the loud groan was coming from the basement."Is it Drexel? is he in so much pain?" she fastened her step as the excitement in her evaporated with each step she takes as she get closer.she stood right at the doorpost, she pressed her ear on the door to listen to the sound coming out from the basement.she did not know that the door was not properly shut and she had put all her weight on the door.Ava would have tripped and fall, but her hand held on to the doorknob as it flung up with force.she look up and her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.she stood there, dazed and shocked at the sight before her.Drexel h

****Albertrossa's holiday home*********phone buzzes. "Hello, Lagan" a deep voice picked up the phone. "Boss," lagan said. "How did it go, did Merge and his men succeeded in the mission," Albertrossa asked. "Merge and his men were all wiped out like that was not enough, the snitch killer sends his men to look for merges remaining men and also kill them, boss," Lagan reported. " How dare he cross the line?" Albertrossa said with rage, his grip on the phone tightened. "Come down to my study immediately," Albertrossa commanded. "on my way boss," Lagan said. Some minutes later, lagan arrived but alongside him was Xavier. "Good evening father," he bends slightly as a sign of respect. "Xavier," Albertrossa said looking up at his son. "What brings you here?" he added. "I was having a drink downtown and Lagan ran into me, he excused himself to call you and I overheard you had issues with the notorious assassin boss, father," Xavier said.

Ava alighted from the car, she was so embarrassed that she asked the one that drove her to stop the car some miles away from the company. Ava had a short red dress with black heels on, Tyler had brought her a new dress, but when she checked them online with Tyler's phone there were all costly designers and her jaw dropped at the price tag, so she pleaded with Tyler to get some of her things from her house and he had the promise to do that after taking permission from Drexel. Ava had put on her eyeglasses as a disguise and then she head into the tall building. She first ran into a suspicious man who was looking her up and down. "Good day sir," Ava offered courtesy, the bald hair guy just mumbled something under his breath, ava nodded at him and stood behind him. He did not press any button, he only stood staring at Ava's reflection. Ava was shaken up but she tried to pretend, she so much wished Drexel had not thrown her phone away that day he kidnapped her. She breathed an air o

It's been an hour since Drex asked one of his drivers to go pick Ava up from her workplace but no sign of them yet.What could be keeping those two for this long? He wondered. He is sitting on the couch in his bedchambers with a copy of Mixed Miss in his hand, not a fan of books like that but he felt he should look it up and pick some ideas about tackling a woman's emotion and mood swings More than anything, he is fed up with having to endure all the strange emotions he experience a lot lately all because of the unidentified bond they share.He sighed and tossed the book aside, picked up his wristwatch on the table, and glance at the time- past six!She is supposed to be home by now. What could be keeping her?Is she in trouble? No way. If she is, he would have felt one or two pains on a part of his body by now.He waited some thirty minutes more and grabbed his phone."Damn it" He hissed out loud"I didn't even get that captive of mine a phone" he muttered under his breath. He remem

Ava's POVMy heart jumped into my throat. I felt the air in my lungs get sucked out, as I came face to face with the only man I have been trying so hard to avoid.I took a step back and held my stomach immediately "Ouch" I muttered, lowering my body the more"Hey!" The baldhead man yelled.I ignored him."He..hello, can I have my privacy I need to relieve myself" I lied, feigning to be in much pain.The man seemed to be unmoved by my front. He edged forward"You! I have seen you before, who are you? Take off those glasses at once" he said sternly.Fear gripped me.If I survive this, there's no situation I won't survive in my life. I racked my brain for what to do next but nothing. I felt helpless."Miss take off those glasses now or I will take them off myself" he warned and tried to move closer but I took a step backThis part of the building is a hallway and there was no one around. Right now, I can only wish that someone passes by."Stay back!" I said firmly, my head still bowed.
