2024-02-27 04:01:47The air around Alex suddenly became tensed. What the hell just happened? The bright and shining countenance on his face faded away as his eyes saw the Old Man bowing to Ethan.
"This can't be happening." Alex thought in his mind as terror slowly creeped into his body as the reality of the events began to settle in his mind.
He had known the The Housekeeper was the president of Majestic Skies Building. He had also known that there was a Super Family backing The Housekeeper.
A deeper level of fear ran through his spine as he tried to put the pieces together. If The Housekeeper saluted Ethan with so much respect, was Ethan a member of the Super Family?
"No he couldn't be!" Alex screamed in his mind. That made no sense. Or did it? As Alex pounded on these thoughts, sweat beads began forming on his forehead, his palm getting sweaty, his breathing became laboured.
"Hope you didn't experience much discomfort?" The Old Man asked with so much care.
"Nothing to worry about." Ethan responded.
"I'm glad to hear that."
"Who's this man?" Ethan asked, pointing at Alex, with eyes red with fury and resentment.
Alex's eyes widened with fear as Ethan pointed at him. His fears had materialized right in front of him. He was fucked.
The Old Man looked at Alex with confusion. Trying so hard to recall his identity but to no avail.
"To be honest with you, I don't even know who he is." The Old Man answered after looking at Alex.
"Get me my secretary Rachel, she'll definitely know who he is." The Old Man faced one of the bodyguards.
The bodyguard simply bowed and went away.
The waiting period was the longest time in Alex's life. His entire livelihood hung in the balance. The horrors that awaited him had already began to haunt him.
In what felt like an eternity to Alex, The bodyguard arrived with Rachel.
"I'm here sir." Rachel announced her presence with a soft tone. She had on a light pink gown that stopped just a little above her knees. The gown was fitted on her and brought out her feminine shape.
She also had a batch on the right side of the chest that spelt "RACHEL".
"Who's this man right here?" The Old Man asked, pointing to Alex.
Taking a look at the man pointed to, "He's one of the mangers working here sir." Rachel answered.
Alex tried putting up a smile as Rachel mentioned his position.
"Very well then. No wonder I don't know him. We have quite a number of them working here." The Old Man said. "You may go." He added, dismissing Rachel.
"Yes sir" Rachel answered as she bowed and went back inside.
"What's the problem? Is he someone you know?" The Old Man faced Ethan.
"This man right here is a very immoral man. A disgrace to the good men out there." Ethan began, pointing his finger at Alex.
As Alex heard the words, the air around him became stiff. Covered with sweat, Alex loosened his tie a bit as he couldn't breathe in well. This was the nightmare of nightmares.
"Men like this shouldn't be allowed anywhere near an establishment of honour. He's a parasite and a bag egg, polluting everything he touches." Ethan poured out.
As each word left Ethan's mouth, Alex felt his soul deplete bit by bit. He was ruined for sure. His throat dried up and tightened. This was the end for him.
"How could they hire someone like this in the first place?" Ethan questioned.
"I'll definitely have a word with the Board." The Old Man promised. Turning to face Alex, his wrinkled face, squeezed with anger. "I don't want to ever you near this premises again. You're fired." The Old Man dropped the bomb.
Knowing the bomb was coming didn't make the actual thing hurt any less.
Upon hearing the words from The Housekeeper, Alex legs gave way, as he fell to his knees.
"Please sir, have mercy on me." Alex begged, tears running freely down his face.
"Don't do this to me please I beg you." Alex pleaded more.
"It's already Done. Get up and get out." The Old Man ordered.
"I'm so sorry please forgive me." Alex turned and faced Ethan, still on his knees. "Please forgive me." He begged, the tears ran freely with no end in sight.
It was a case of hitting rock bottom for Alex. Never had he imagined he would be in this position, let alone to someone like Ethan.
"Actions have consequences. Never forget that." Ethan said, looking at the sorry state Alex had fell into. He felt zero pity for him. This was the result of his actions after all.
"Come on." The Old Man took Ethan by the hand and led him inside. "Throw him outside and never let him step foot within this premises ever again." The old man turned and faced the guards
"Yes sir!" They both chorused as they dragged Alex out.
The tables had turned yet again. The one who ordered the removal of Ethan was the one that ended up being removed.
"Please I have nothing to fall back on." Alex kept pleading as Ethan and the Old Man left him there struggling with the guardss.

The warmth of a quiet morning bathed Rhys and Denera in soft golden light as they sat together on a wide sofa in their tastefully decorated living room. The chaos that had consumed their lives for months felt like a distant memory. Denera rested her head on Rhys’s chest, his arm draped protectively around her. Their hands were intertwined, fingers lightly brushing against each other—a silent vow to never let go. "I still can’t believe we’re here," Denera murmured, her voice carrying a blend of disbelief and gratitude. Rhys tilted her chin up, his piercing gaze meeting hers. "We fought for this, Denera. We’ve been through hell, but we came out stronger. I don’t just love you—I’m in awe of you." She smiled, her cheeks tinged with a soft blush. "And I’m in awe of us. Let’s promise to never let anything or anyone come between us again." Rhys leaned down and kissed her gently. "Not a chance. We’re unbreakable now." The two sat in silence for a moment, basking in the tranquility

The morning sun bathed the city in a golden hue as a soft breeze carried the fragrance of blooming flowers. A week has passed and normalcy has somewhat returned. It was a perfect day, fitting for an event of such grandeur. The wedding of Paul and Rachel-the moment everyone had been waiting for had finally arrived. The venue was a masterpiece: one of the most magnificent halls in the city, renowned for its towering crystal chandeliers and intricately carved marble pillars. From the outside, the building glistened with a mix of modern architectural elegance and timeless charm. Inside, the hall was transformed into a dreamland. A canopy of white roses and orchids draped across the ceiling, interspersed with tiny, twinkling lights that mimicked a starry night. Golden chairs lined the aisle, their backs adorned with silk ribbons and floral arrangements. At the center, a raised platform housed an altar framed by cascading vines and glittering drapery. Guests began to arrive, dress

The dim light of Alex’s makeshift room flickered, casting shadows on the cracked walls and the scattered remnants of his old life. He sat on the edge of a wooden crate, methodically strapping his gear into place. His breaths were steady, but his eyes burned with purpose. Tonight was the night. This was what he had been training for—the moment he would finally free Laurel and eliminate Jason. Alex picked up his blade, its polished steel glinting in the faint light. He ran his fingers over the edge, testing its sharpness. A small scar on his knuckle caught his eye—a reminder of all the battles he’d fought leading up to this. He glanced at the photo of Laurel taped to the wall, her smile a beacon of hope amidst his darkened world. “This is it,” he muttered to himself. “For you, Laurel.”With his weapons secured and resolve hardened, Alex stood, pulling his hood over his head. He left the room without a glance back, the door creaking shut behind him.---The screen went black, the t

Beside him, Denera exuded quiet confidence, her heels clicking against the pavement as she moved. She wore a crimson trench coat, her eyes glinting with a dangerous mix of fury and satisfaction.The heavy front doors of the mansion creaked open, and Gerald emerged with his ever-present smirk plastered on his face. He was flanked by a small squad of armed guards, their weapons gleaming under the lights. Gerald was impeccably dressed, his dark green sui

The Anderson mansion was eerily quiet, the moonlight casting a pale glow over the scene of destruction. Ethan and Paul stood amidst the chaos, their eyes fixed on the lifeless bodies of Jackson and Sebastian sprawled across the bloodied garden. The heavy scent of iron lingered in the air, mixing with the faint rustle of leaves. Ethan’s chest heaved as he struggled to steady his breath, his shirt torn and stained with sweat and blood.Paul glanced at Ethan, concern etched on his face. "You good?" he asked, his voice low but steady.Ethan nodded, though exhaustion weighed on every inch of his body. He pulled out his phone, his hands trembling slightly, and dialed Sandra’s number. The ringing seemed to stretch on forever until her voice finally came through.“Ethan…” Sandra’s voice was weak, barely a whisper. Ethan’s stomach tightened. “Sandra, what happened? Are you okay?” he demanded, his tone laced with panic.There was a pause, and then she spoke again, her words strained. “Sebas
