Lisa decided to leave work early, to go home and check on her patient who still hasnât regained consciousness. She said goodbye to nurse Susan and went down to the lobby to sign out. After signing out, she went to the parking lot for her car and left the hospital. When she arrived at her apartmentâs underground parking lot, she noticed 4 black alligator SUVs. She felt there was something suspicious and strange about it, nonetheless, she put it at the back of her mind and walked towards the lobby. â©âGood afternoon,â Lisa greeted the elevator attendant the moment she entered the elevator. âGood afternoon Miss Lynn,â He responded as he pressed the floor number, the elevator closed and started to ascend.As the elevator ascended, Lisa noticed the elevator attendant kept stealing glances at her as if he wanted to say something but was hesitant about it, however, since he was not able to tell her whatever it was, she wouldnât inquire about it. When the elevator arrived on the fifth flo
-/Country A/-â© Golden heights corporation â©Meanwhile, in an office on the hundredth floor of Golden Heights Corporation, Trey Collins stares blankly at the vast ocean view through the glass wall of his enormous office. With a fierce look on his face, if thereâs one thing that riled him, itâs when things donât go his way.He turns around to face his three highly skilled efficient bodyguards, who were able to retrieve a needle when dropped into the vast sea, but were standing in front of him, repeating the same bullshit!â©Baam!! â©The three men gazed up nervously, then hastily retracted their gaze down, feeling weak in the leg at the sound of a hand slammed on the desk in front of them.â©âIt been 3 weeks, 3 f*cking weeks and youâre fucking telling me you havenât found her? Why the hell do I pay you when you can't even find a single, frail womanâs whereabouts!? Huh!!â Trey asked sternly, his expression darkened into a venomous glare. âYou have a week to find out wherever sheâs hiding,
âI want to show you something.â Don Antonio said as he took steady steps towards Lisa, deliberately not to frighten her more than she already was. Considering Lisaâs silence and calmed demeanor as an indication to proceed, he started to unbutton his shirt, as he undid the buttons, his eyes remained fixed on Lisaâs face, ready to stop if there was a slight form of uneasiness from her. Since there wasnât any, he opened it to show her his bandage chest.âDid you do this?â He asked in a gentle tone.âOh my God!.. â Lisa uttered, her eyes widened as her hand flew to her mouth as realization dawned on her, and then she frowned. âIt was you, no wonder I thought you looked familiar, you bastard!!â Lisa yelled angrily. Matteo and Timothy who were standing outside the door heard Lisa calling the boss a bastard, they started to feel pity for her, for offending the boss, now there was no way she could escape the bossâs wrath.âYou pointed a gun at a person who saved your life!? I knew I should
âIs she alright?â Don Antonio asked Susan who just walked out of Lisaâs room.âYeah.., she has fallen asleep,â Susan muttered. She approached the sofa to sit but became hesitant, she heard that Don has a disorder, he doesnât like women around him, not to mention touch him, and it got her wondering how he was able to carry Lisa earlier. She remained standing in front of the sofa, as she fidgeted with her fingers. Antonio who was replying to a message on his phone, realized the space beside him was empty, then looked up at the woman who was standing still, with an expression he couldnât decipher. âWhy is she standing,â he thought Susan was approaching to sit, but it had been a few minutes now, but he didnât feel the sofa dip, and since he was busy with his phone, he just remembered she wasnât seated beside him. He looked up at Susan.âAre you going to stand there?â He questioned.âI⊠um, umm youâre sick.â She replied, staring down at her feet, still playing with her fingers. âIâm sic

Please skip it if it makes you uncomfortable, it does not contain any major plot.***The moment Don Antonio sat in the back of his car at Lisaâs apartment underground parking lot, all traces of the man from earlier disappeared, being replaced with a stern, fierce-looking man.âGo to the base.â The intensity of his voice causes the temperature inside the car to drop abruptly. Matteo who was seated at the passengerâs seat shivered. As his bossâs personal bodyguard, he has noticed the change in his bossâs aura.âYes, boss.â Marco, his driver, replied.About an hour later, the line of cars stopped in front of a high-end Club Casino Hotel in the central part of country B. Matteo got down and immediately opened the door for his boss. Don Antonio walked with long strides into the building followed by a few of his men, whilst the others remained guard at the entrance with the many bodyguards who were already stationed. H
Back in Lisaâs apartment, Susan after checking up on Lisa in her bedroom, decided to prepare some food and tidy up the kitchen and living room to beat time, since she had nothing to do but to sit idly around feeling bored.After about an hour and a half time, Susan was done with cleaning, she proceed to the kitchen to begin cooking, she started by chopping the vegetables, then blended some onions, garlic, ginger, and tomatoes, then placed the saucepan on the stove, and poured some oil, just when she was about to add the blended onions, garlic, and ginger, the doorbell began to ring, she turned the knob on the stove off, but since she was in a hurry, she turned the knob downwards instead. She went to the door to check who it was.âHello, how may I help you?â Susan asked the delivery man standing outside the door holding a bouquet of white lilies.âIs this Miss Lynnâs apartment?â The delivery guy asked and Susan nodded.âOkay, I was asked to deliver this bouquet here, please sign here.â
When Don Antonio stepped out of the elevator on the fourth floor, he saw his consigliere already seated inside his office, he smirked.âWelcome back,â his consigliere said, spreading out his arms wide to welcome Antonio with a hug. They embraced each other as Lucas said, âI thought weâd lost you, man.â He patted Antonio on the back as they broke the hug, Antonio walked to the other side of the desk taking a seat on his black high-back swivel chair.âI have to meet this woman who saved your life. We're in debt to her. I really canât explain how delighted I was when you called me to send some men over and a change of clothes. I wanted to come personally, but we had a situation in the cells,â Lucas said. Don Antonio leaned back against his seat, looking as if he was deep in thought. âWere they Faustoâs men?â Antonio asked. âTheyâve refused to speak,â Lucas said, taking a deep breath, Antonio nodded.âWhat about the information I asked you to get,â Lucas nodded, taking a seat on the cha
âHello?ââLisaâŠ, my love,â she froze. âHow is it possible? Huh-huh, no! Thereâs no way he'll call her.â Lisa doubted it.âTreyâŠ?â She muttered dejectedly. But instead of hearing a response from him, what she heard was the clearing of a throat, after a while the response finally came.âMiss Lynn, hi, itâs me, Don Antonio Aguilla,â he said, â how are you doing?ââDon AntonioâŠ?â Lisa asked perplexed, she could certify she heard Treyâs voice earlier.âYes, Mellisa? Were you expecting someone else?â Don Antonio asked, but the tone of his voice didnât sit well with Lisa, it was as if he was aware of what he was doing. Lisa thought.âNo, Umm⊠I was just wondering how you got my contact,â Lisa said, trying to get rid of any thoughts regarding Trey, she was starting to overthink things again. âI have my ways,â Don Antonio answered teasingly, making Lisa roll her eyes, as she imagined the kind of expression he must have on his face. âThat arrogant bastard, so full of himself, who points a gu
