Chapter three
******
Eduardo hopped out of the car just as the butler unlocked the main door of the mansion, he scampered into the house, he did not care if he hurt someone or not. He ran straight to his room to take his shower.
"Hey...what the fuck!." Uncle Linus shouted.
'What on earth could make him run in this manner.' He stood there for some minutes gaping.
A few minutes later, he didn't hear or see anything coming. He deliberately tip-toed in the direction of Eduado's room and barely opened the door to glimpse, but to find out that he was taking his shower, which made him surprised.
He gently closed the door, "Huh... finish with whatever you are doing up there and come down and deal with me." He went back to the sitting room and waited for him.
After some minutes he looked up and Eduardo was coming.
'Oh... my gush... Is this really Eduardo? I have never seen him looking this stunning before, I don't have to obligate him right now.'
"Hello, Uncle... what's up." Eduardo greeted.
"Eduardo... are you going out?" Uncle Linus asked him.
"Yes, I am." He answered.
"I almost forgot, must you frighten everyone in the house before going out? You ran into the house as if you were being wooed by demons." Uncle Linus taunted him.
Eduardo couldn't do anything but raise his eyebrows, wrinkled his forehead and strolled away.
He was so eager to have a little time to go clubbing and he doesn't wanna waste a single time of it.
Ever since he became the CEO of Oak-king Enterprises Company Limited, there's no time for him to flex around anymore.
The work on his table has finally been reduced and for that reason, he's less busy.
The butler, chef and one of the housekeepers laughed together, hearing how Uncle Linus was teasing him.
"Three of you want to be roasted meat when he comes back."
One of the servants who saw what happened reminded them that he is not who they were to mess with.
They quickly ran back to their duties.
Eduardo is someone that doesn't take shit from anyone and can easily do whatever he wishes to anyone without blinking an eye.
They all knew Eduardo as a cruel man. He hardly smiles at anyone not even his family.
He was a well-known person even in the clubhouse.
He walked majestically through the door of the clubhouse. The moment he came into view, he was greeted by the receptionist but as usual, he ignored her and walked inside.
They all knew he was such a rude and cruel man.
He has his personal seat in the club and he doesn't dance with just anyone. They normally reserve the kind of girl he likes.
He is a regular customer they wouldn't like to lose.
He got drunk before he decided to leave the club.
"Sir, you are drunk, let me drive you home."
A man he met in the club offered to help him but Little did he know that he was a kidnapper.
His drink was drugged and though he was used to it any time he went to the club, this time was different as it had been a long he took drugs.
It affected him for a while giving the man the opportunity to take him away.
Unknowingly to the man, he was dealing with the devil himself as he quickly regained his senses and struck the man's head immediately after he realized he had been kidnapped.
He pushed the man down and zoomed off.
******
"Boss! You never told me he was dangerous."
Cain said to someone on the phone holding his head in pain. Cain was so angry for losing a wonderful opportunity. As he presumed.
Based on their agreement, he was going to be paid handsomely, if he was able to kidnap Eduardo successfully. Cain's mind went to the amount of money he would have gotten if he was able to accomplish the mission, so he sighed and went back to their camp, frustrated.
******
"God damn it!!!." Eduardo blurted and a painful scream followed up.
Unfortunately, his car got involved in an accident as he was driving home, he quickly stepped on the brake and jumped out of the car to see how bad it was.
He was shocked to see a young girl lying Lifeless in front of his car but he was only bothered about his car.
In his opinion money can solve everything, he only took a quick glare at the girl and called Dean to come and take care of the situation while he drove away.
"Dean, I got in an accident and a girl was involved. Take care of her and pay every bill necessary."
Dean left what he was doing and rushed to the place immediately.
'If I don't go now it would be another story, who knows how badly the girl was hurt?'
He already knew him so well that he wouldn't care about what happened to the girl, he quickly rushed to the place to save her.
Dean arrived at the place and was shocked to see how badly the girl was injured and to think that Eduardo left her in that state was making him mad.
How could someone be this heartless, though he knew him before but he thought he had at least changed a bit.
He quickly put her in the car and drove off.
Dean is someone who always takes care of his problems outside his work. You could describe him as gentle but dangerous when it comes to his work.

"She's nowhere to be found, Dad, I've searched the streets in the estate, but couldn't find her," Desmond said angrily, and there was awkward silence among them, he turned towards his dad.
"Where's Cindy? What have you done to her?" Desmond asked staring at his dad.
"Listen, I did nothing to her, if there's anyone you want to ask about her, it's probably not me." Mr Black said and quickly went to his room not bothered.
Desmond knew his father lied to him as he was behaving strangely. Then he stood there glued to the floor without emotion, he vividly remembered several occasions he has been a saviour to her, as his father has attempted to rape her.
But this time he was not there to save her as he wasn't at home, actually his father didn't succeed in rapping her, she ran away from the house.
Before the last incident that made her run away, Desmond decided to fix a secret camera throughout the house and connect it to his iPad just for Cindy's safety.
Unknowingly to Mr Black, his son Desmond completely watched all that happened with him and Cindy that made her run away from the house.

Reaching the hospital, Dean carried her out of the car and rushed her to the VIP emergency room. The receptionist saw how he rushed in and called the doctor Immediately.
He laid her on the bed and turned to the nurse on duty, who helped him to open the ward.
"Call the doctor!! Nurse!"
But there was no response. He walked close to her,
"I said call the doctor!!!"
He angrily shouted at the nurse, all worried about the girl. But before the nurse responded the doctor entered the room.
"Right behind you, Dean." The doctor said.
"Oh good, thank God you are here, Doctor Elvis please do everything..., I mean everything in your power to save her life." Dean pleaded.
The doctor gave the nurse instructions to bring the necessary items needed.
"What happened? How did you get yourself into this?" The doctor asked Dean.
"Doctor..., she ran into my car!!" Dean answered him and sat down on a couch, all devastated.
"She will be fine. She had a little internal injury but with the help of some medication and Enough rest, she will regain her health." The doctor said as he was checking her.
"It alright doctor...," And that's all Dean could say at the moment.
Right in Eduardo's room, his phone beeped, he hesitated before removing his phone from his pocket but when he noticed it was a beep from Dean, he taped the message immediately to read it.
'She sustained an internal injury, but Doctor Elvis said she'll be fine.'
Though he acted cruel and heartless, somehow, his conscience denied him peace, the painful scream of that girl kept sounding in his head, but the moment he went through the message, he took a deep breath and his peace of mind was restored instantly.
'It's okay Dean.' Eduardo texted back and after some minutes he felt like calling him to know how everything was going.
And that was not him for real, like ever since he knew what's pain, never has he sympathized or ever felt for anyone but he just decided to call Dean.
Dean picked up his phone to see who was calling, he was surprised when he found out it was Eduardo.
Chapter four Dean stood up and walked himself out of the ward as he didn't want to bother the patient. "Hello, I received your note," Dean answered the call with an infuriated voice regardless of who he was. "Yeah." Eduardo gave attention to how he sounded and noticed that he was very angry with him, so he hesitated and took a profound breath. "Do you have any other speciality you need me to give attention to?" Dean asked and this time, he spoke calmly. "No, not really, I'll like to know if....erm." He stuttered for a moment and asked, "Are you taking off the hospital this night?" "No, I'm going nowhere, I'll stay around till she gets better. For God's sake, Eduardo, I didn't discover any information about her. Who am I leaving her for?" Dean replied offensively. "It's alright Dean..., just do whatever you think is acceptable," Eduardo said and disconnected. Dean dropped the phone and went back to the ward to look after her. Seven hours has gone and yet she was motionless
Chapter five"Okay, tell me, who's going to pick you up? Do you have anyone we can give a call?" Dean asked and was not ignorant of her reaction, immediately she heard his query, she became all moody."Cindy please say something, I know you have a lot going on in your mind right now, but you can still share it with me or are we, not friends yet?" He asked and as he was just looking at her, she replied,"I don't know why my mind is unburdened with you to share my misery with you, I trust you and I'll tell you everything." So she stood up from where she was sitting and folded her arms."I don't have anybody, my parents died in an accident years ago, but..." Saying that she hesitated and raised her head looking into the space."But what? Cindy?" He wrinkled and asked all patiently. "Yes, I have relatives who had always taken advantage of me as a maid, my uncle had never in his life taken care of me, even when people tried to help me because of my academic excellence, he warned me never
Chapter six"Oh come on..., you already know how bad it is, this house can automatically hide someone for eternity, Dean," He couldn't suppress his laughter anymore after hearing her banter, so he let it out.She heard his laughter and was gripped with anger, but she controlled her emotions and asked, "How was your day?""It was good..., anyways I'm on my way to see my boss and after that, I'll be coming home straight away." He knew that everything she needed was in the house, so he only needed to get ice cream and chips for her.She also felt like demanding for ice cream when she heard him say that he would be home very soon, 'Should I request for ice cream from him? No..., he must be very tired by now, let him just come back and rest, it's night.' then giving it a second thought she decided not to request for ice cream, so it was then she came out of her thought and she remembered that he was driving so she asked, "Aren't you driving?" "Of cause I am." He uttered and she said," Jus
Chapter seven "Yeah, I do..., I want to be great in life, I want to be like you, to live a better life, to work in a company or have my own company if possible and make cool money." Hearing her response, he stood up from where he was sitting and held her hand and asked. "So, why not go for it?" "What?" She asked all excited. "Yes, I said go for it, I'm gonna provide whatever you need for that, Okay?" he asked and squeezed her hands gently. "Like seriously..., you're going to do that for me?" She asked still after and tears started streaming down her cheeks. She hugged him and both of them hugged each other tightly, gulping his spit he said, "Yes of cause I'll do that for you Cindy, you don't have to cry, it's nothing, okay?" He asked and patted her back. He released his grip and cleaned her tears with the handkerchief he removed from his pocket and both of them sat down on the same sofa. Playfully he ran his finger through her hair, so she felt so relaxed and didn't know wh
Chapter eight Kate knew why he was saying all that but she didn't feel bad in any way because she somehow liked her. So she stared in the direction where Cindy was going, she tapped Dave on his shoulder and tilted her head, "Is that so?" Kate asked and gasped for air, "If we can't fight her, then let's make her our friend." She said and followed the exact direction where Cindy was heading to. Cindy was deeply in thought that she didn't know what was transpiring around her, but she jolted back to presence immediately she heard someone's voice behind her. "Hi Cindy, am Kate... Kate Williams." Saying that she sat down on the pavement that was just beside her, Cindy face palmed, and looking at her, she asked, "You know my name... huh? You were not in the college before I left, so how come you know about me?" Cindy asked peacefully. "Like seriously? Are you asking me such a question?" Kate asked arrogantly as she smiled wildly at Cindy who was fully surprised by her arrogant behavio
Chapter nine 'Why is this girl so innocent? There's something special about her.' Thoughtfully he asked and reshuffled his hair and shortly she stopped laughing. "Okay..., sleep tight." She said calmly and he was like not yet because he still want to hear her voice, but he didn't know what to ask her again so he kept quiet for a while before he said, "It's alright Cindy, good night." And disconnected. He took a deep breath as he laid back on the bed, staring up at the ceiling, he didn't know when he slept off. ****** She woke up the moment the reflection of the sun stroked her eyes through the window, slightly she opened her eyes and with the back of her palm she rubbed her eyes, 'O my God, am late.' She thought and swung her legs down from the bed. She hurriedly went to the bathroom and took her bath, immediately after she was done, she quickly dressed up not bothered about her breakfast, then picked up her purse and rushed out of the room. On her way, she collided with some
Chapter ten 'Never..., I'll rather die than let anybody know the truth.' Mr Black said in his mind, clearing his throat he stepped down from the bed slowly and strode close to a drawer that only he knows what was inside, And slightly he tap on it with his index finger, after awhile he went back, laid down on the bed and looked at the ceiling. He knew that it was only Cindy that can fight him if she has the means, but now that the whole truth was still hidden between them, he was going to die and be buried with the hidden truth and nobody would discover it. He didn't know that the original file of ownership to the company was with someone that he never thought of and the person has been working in the company for many years. He didn't know that the assistant manager of Mega Link Limited knew the whole truth about everything. She knew that he was the one behind the terror that befall his brother and his family and yet he took over his company. ****** Mrs Rose has been the one tak
Chapter Eleven"That's good, just do the necessary things, and let the managers know about it... anything else?" Eduardo asked."That's all, Sir," Fredrick answered and left.Later on, Eduardo mulled over what Fredrick said, so he decided to host a party for all his workers.All of them had been faithful to the company and hard-working, the sweet part of the whole thing was that non of them has ever make any attempt to steal from the company.He didn't let them know about the preparation, he planned everything to be a surprise for them.******Cindy later joined the dancing group and they were doing very well, even lecturers were recommending the group to friends and family.They've gone to different events to entertain people. Anytime they are presenting, it surprises many because they do it with passion and agility as if they were born into it and that makes their group so different.They grew to the point that they were only invited by wealthy and well-to-do people all over the sta
