Drexel was in the meeting hall with the foreigners, when he felt like someone hit him on his head.
He had a hard and aggressive countenance on."Are you okay?" one of the men asked."Yes I'm fine, thank you," Drexel did not care to fake a smile.He lifts his hand to his face as he felt hot liquid dripping down his face. He brought his hand down to his face."Blood!" he said alarmed.He knew what was going on, his forehead was already red from the hit.he wanted to end the meeting as he was afraid someone might have decided to kill her."what if Albert gets to her," he thought.he was absentminded and he was not listening to what the men around him were saying."What's your take on that, Mister Mason," one of the gray-haired man asked.he looked on at them speechless as he doesn't even know what they were talking about anymore."We would see about that," Drexel said nodding his head.All the men at the table were confused by his response as they do not know what he was talking about.that very moment Tyler came in, upon seeing him, Drexel stood up beckoning to him to come.he pushed him forward making him stand facing them."I'm sorry but something so important came up, he will let you in on everything," he said faking a smile.Tyler had a grim look on his face then he noticed the red patch on his forehead, he was sure that Drexel wouldn't have involved himself in a fight in just this little moment he had left him, what then happened to his head? "He sure knows how to dump his responsibility on me," Tyler said slightly annoyed."did you pack it at my favorite spot?" Drexel whispered to Tyler."Yeah, I did, the.......keys" he stretch his hand with the keys over to him but at the speed of lightning he had stormed out of the office."What is wrong with him," Tyler breathed in frustration.he faced the men who had been watching the drama unfolding in front of them and smile."So gentlemen, where were we?" he asked them cheerfully.Drexel stormed into the lift, he didn't let the lift stop on any floor, straight to the last floor it went.he ran to his car and pull the door."Shit! My keysssss! he screamed angrily.he used the small pin on his wristwatch to open the door of the car and went in he used a manual way to kickstart the car.this was one common knowledge of assassins.he zoomed off from that premises to his villa.Drexel was sweating profusely when he got to his villa, it was quiet contrary to how he had pictured the house to be.somewhere in his mind, he wished his theory of feeling her pain was wrong and that someone had killed her but if his theory was right."I won't let anyone that raises a hand not even a pat on her shoulder, I will murder that person," he said to himself.he met the guards outside as it should.He rushed inside his enormous villa, and aside from the guards he met the chief servants and the home caretaker. Mrs. Lilly Donovan was quite old with gray hair."Good evening, young master," she greeted."Where is our guest?" he asked anxiously."We had no guest here today sir," was all she said with a smile.His sanity disappeared as he brought out his phone to call Tyler and lash him with his tongue."Young master, why don't you check the rooms, I went for groceries, maybe the guest might be in one of the rooms," though if it were one of the men that had just given him such advice he would have punished him, but now that she's one of his oldest staff and also old enough to be his mother.Drexel just gave her a stern look and he was sure she understands it."I'm sorry, young master," she pleaded.He put back the phone in his back pocket, Drexel muttered to himself." Not that I can call him now""just take care of yourself," he said to her as he move around the room.Drexel does not want all the guards to find out that he didn't kill the lady he was supposed to kill. He knew Albertrosso will do everything to get back at him, not that he was scared, but he was not ready to fight now. not when he could feel the pain of this worthless woman, he thought to himself.Drexel was now done with checking the down-floor rooms, his villa which had fifty-five well-furnished rooms and thirteen empty rooms, he was half way done with the fifteenth, when one of the strongest and dumbest guard came up to him."Boss," he greeted him."Yes, Brooke are you okay?" Drexel asked.Brooke was shut of words, this was the first time since he had been here that the boss had called his name and now he didn't just call his name, he had asked him if he was okay.He was beyond happy, so he stood speechless in shock and awe.Drexel was not used to talking to the people around him so, he didn't care much about their expression and he know nothing about it either.he frown at Brooke that was staring at him like he was in a stupor."Ahhh, I have no time to entertain this nonsense," Drexel said as he turned his back on him."Boss," he ran after him."What is it again Brooke?" he said turning to face him with his brow knitted."A black-haired woman with a coat on, tried escaping from the empty nineteenth floor upstairs and I.....," he announced."Not a word to anyone brooke!" He warned."Yes, Bo.. "Drexel did not let him finish his words, as he stormed headlong towards the stairs.He reach the door with a hinge breath, he turn the door knob and the door creaked open.it was pitch dark in there, he walk confidently towards the switch and turned on the light, he had studied most of the rooms during his training and he knew exactly where a switch is always placed on a wall of a room."Here you are," he said to the lady curled on the bare floor half unconscious.Drexel walked up to her, her long hair covering her face So, he was not able to see a clear glimpse of her face. He squats close to her and slowly removes those long strands of her covering her face. He stare at the little bruise on her forehead which is now a big swollen red patch on her head, he saw the dried blood glued to her skin. Drexel checked his right-hand pocket and brought out a tube in his hand, he had bought it on his way home. He was about to apply it on her head when she flutter her eyes open. As soon as she saw him, she jolted and crawl away from his reach to the corner of the room. She was weak and had no life in her to scream or cry. Drexel stood up and walked toward her, she didn't try to run again. He roughly rubbed the healing balm on her head. Then he stood up to go, and he felt something tug on his trouser, "Please let me go," she whisper almost inaudibly to him. Drexel felt his heartache with a sudden sadness. This feeling is frustrating him so much. H
***Ava's POV **Even when I tried to be strong, I still cried. Why do bad things happen to me? I asked myself. The moment that huge man lock me in, I lay down without a fight. I was exhausted the whole situation made me hungry. I remember I didn't eat last night before going to bed and my stomach growled in response to my thoughts about food. Slowly I draw back to sleep only to be woken by a slight touch of hands on my face.the smell of pines and sweet and a shadow of someone hovered over me.I fluttered my eyes open and they fell on a dark with flickers of gray hair man in his thirties, he wore a white long sleeve and suit trousers, his suit coat hung around his shoulder, and his hair was well creamed and made to cover half of his left eye, he had an oval-shaped face with well shaved defined jaws, his close well-arched brows always look crease due to his never smiling personality, he had a long pointed nose and a fiery ocean blue eyes, he had a peach colored small but full lips wh
***Godfather Albertrosso******A middle-aged man with dyed long jet black hair in his office, he has a grey color suit on and a big cigarette in between his fingers, his teeth were crooked and tainted with stains from tobacco.he puffed out the smoke from his nose as he breathe out with his mouth tightly shut.he's the boss of the underworld, the Capo of the Malvagio clan, here in the central city his words were the law.He's feared by many, including the laws and those that governed the law.he has lots of prominent leaders under his arm, the ones who had come to him for a favor, and once he helps them, they become his pawn forever and when Godfather Albertrosso find them unworthy or not important, he gets rid of them before they become a problem to him.He has an Italian wife, his moll, which he met as a thug, two sons, and one daughter who always fight over their father's criminal throne.To Drexel who sees him as only his business partner, they both respected their title and for ye
Drexel took Ava to a room and roughly dropped her on the bed. "Ahhh" she cried out. Drexel marvels at her complaint about everything. "ish, what a crybaby," he mumbled to himself. After crying out as if he had thrown her down from the top of the mountain, she lay down motionless. "What again?" Drexel asked, if not for this unknown curse that had to bind them together he was never someone that will stoop to anyone's level of understanding. She did not answer him and continued pretending to have fainted. Drexel move towards the big family-size bed where he had dropped her and with one of his hands placed on the bedside slightly above her head, he undid the first button of her oversized coat. She immediately pushes him off her and covers her chest where he had undone the button with her hands. He stood up from the bed and gaze at this little kitten who dares to taunt him. "The next time you play such foolish trick with me I will make sure I pull off all your clothes!" he said w
Drexel was quiet, not that he had nothing to say, he became interested in the woman fighting for the servant who would have dealt with her if he had not shown up in the first place. Tyler tries to get past her to the servant but Ava was not having it. "Take me with her or better still, let her go. Everything happened because of me" Ava pleaded. "enlighten me, how it happened since you dim me punishing her wrong," Drexel said knitting his brows. "She was only asking me not to touch the painting, but... bbu.. but I was so caught up in its beauty that I ignored her plea to me not to touch it," Ava explained, not daring to look into Drexel's eyes for fear of getting caught. "So everything is your fault not hers right?" Drexel asked. Tyler had moved away from the servant and Ava, the servant was now on her kneels sobbing loudly without saying a word. Ava did not respond to his question, even though she was scared of what he would do to her, but if she denies it, the servant alone wi
******Drexel's POV *******When she asked me what the occasion was, I found my tongue-tied, I didn't know what to say to her the only thing that popped up in my head was her death, I'm not the type to sugarcoat someone, regardless of the reason she's still alive and well, was all thanks to the life bound or what it is, that I don't know.I want to make her happy today, my mood had changed a hundred times since I meet her, I was either happy, sad, or crying, right now I feel so hungry even when I just finished eating.Those fucking emotions are what I never had to bother myself with in the past.and here she's opening the door to my locked-up emotions, I won't let that happen.I will find a way and put an end to this feeling, and after that, I will put an end to her miserable life.I'm only doing her a favor anyway, she should be lucky she was given the opportunity to die in my hand. I thought to myself.the table was already set and I sit in the middle of the dining room. I have never
Drexel took her upstairs to his room, then he called in Tyler who was oblivious to what happened.He meet Drexel seated at the side of his bed and was shocked when he looked around and found a woman lying comfortably on Drexel's bed.Tyler use his hands to rub his eyes as he could never believe a day like this would come when his cold-hearted boss will let a woman lay in his bed.Tyler open his mouth to say something, but he was interrupted by Drexel's commanding voice."Get me doctor Amelia," Drexel said to him.Amelia is Drexel's home doctor right from the early days."Ye..ye..yes boss," Tyler stuttered.he opened the door about to walk out but stop in his trail to ask what had happened. As if Drexel already know what was going on in his mind, this time he yelled at him aggressively."What are you still standing there doing!!"Tyler hurried downstairs, and within some minutes he was back with the doctor.She hurried to the patient's side without many pleasantries.After she was done
Ava slowly regain consciousness, and her gaze fell on a man with his back to her standing in front of the mirror, his back was broad and a beautiful sight to her vision, she stayed like that for a moment bathing her eyelid in the beauty of the man with his back at her. "but wait, where am I?" she questions herself as she stares around. This has to be his room, it has the same aura as the one standing in front of the room. She noticed that she was carefully tucked in a black duvet and inside was a fluffy white color bed sheet, she moved her eyes around the room she was in. it's was different from the first one she had been to. The bedroom interior theme was black and white, the owner of this bedroom must have been against bright colors and also a freak, who else would make the theme of its bedroom black and white? The wallpaper was also designed in black and white, and so was the thick curtains, there was this scary-looking painting of a ghost slightly above the bed interior, it s
