Stefan pov.The car was silent for the remaining journey til we got to our destinations, which was a mansion, owned by Owen, George and me. We contributed some moneys together to build it and just to have a property we can point to that is collectively owned by the three of us.I got out of the car with Ralph, and we began to walk deeper into the compound together, "Sir, I got the meeting scheduled and it is tomorrow's morning." He told me.I glanced at him, thinking that tomorrow's morning was too early, I still have to sit down and think of every possible questions I would be asked, so that I could have a befitting answer for each and everyone of the questions I would be asked. "Why tomorrow's morning? Why not next week?" I questioned him."It's not my fault sir, they are just in such an hurry to listen to you, and of course to have you among them. I really tried to convince them, but they didn't want to listen. Maybe I should tried calling them, instead of just chatting with them."
Stefan pov.I woke up the next morning at 7am, the supposed time for the interview and even as I woke up so late, I made no attempt of getting out of bed as I couldn't sleep throughout the night, I was thinking of what my father can possibly do to me this time for disobeying him.I can still remember Owen and George's voices whispering their advises in my ears. "If he try a shit, get him arrested, I will make sure to follow you to the interview tomorrow and I won't go with you alone, I will go with the cops as you have rightly know that I love my head so much." Owen had said. Although, I had laughed it off when he talked, I know the Owen that had been my friend didn't joke with matters like this and I'm sure that the cops will be there with him, just if dad does something crazy.George too was not left out, "You know I know that you're scared, but there is nothing to be afraid of, if you're afraid, just look behind you and when you see us, be calm, because we won't let anything happen
Stefan pov.I stared at Ben in astonishment as I tried to reason well to his question before answering, so that I won't give myself out and give the press a pleasure or space for criticism. I was in-between, I was thinking that my father must have told him to ask that question because the conflict between my father and me was not so obvious, so nobody must have given him a clue and I had no befitting answer for him.My friends stood up to their feet, ready to show themselves to the cameras and to tell Ben to fuck off, but they were stopped by the watch guards at the door, who were just there to make sure that everything was intact. They were made to sit down back unwillingly.But as always, Ralph was there to stop the shits, he stepped forward with a frown on his face, "I think your question is too personal, try asking one that has nothing to do with his father.""Oh! I'm sorry, I will keep that in check." Ben said and Ralph nodded before stepping back to his previous position.I glan
Stefan pov.I stood still on the spot in shock, even when dad left, I couldn't still move from my spot, I glued my eyes to my shoes in great embarrassment, I've never been so humiliated all my life and for the fact that I couldn't do anything hurts more, he was my father for fuck sake!"Come on man, I think we should leave now, the people are watching, you can decide to do anything when we get home where we will be alone." Owen said to me and patted my shoulder gently, trying to comfort me.I began to move with my head fixed on the floor and my friends followed behind me immediately."Is he okay?" I heard one of the people muttered to her neighbors and they all began their gossiping."How can you ask something like that when you know that he is not?""I've always known you to be very dumb but don't know that your dumbness is this serious."The people around just kept on talking, but I decided to shut my ear away from listening further.We all got into the car and it began moving with
Stefan pov.I came down from the plane in New York City and breath-in the fresh air, feeling at peace. This is the exact thing I want. I thought and began with my remaining journey out of the plane and down to the floor. I adjusted my blinds and face cap I used as disguise so as not to be recognized.I met a man holding a medium size banner with my name boldly written on it, giving me a clue that he was the man that Ralph prepared for me to take me to my lounge."You must be Mr Stefan." The man asked me and I nodded. "Please come with me." He told me.I followed the man to the car he was with, as he helped me to fix my luggage inside the trunk, and I entered with him without saying anything to each other, I was not in the mood for any discussion, and all I wanted was to just get to my hotel room and relax for the day, and maybe check in at a restaurant for the night.When we got at the hotel Ralph prepared, the man helped me in signing-in into the hotel and we left the lobby to the el
Stefan pov.I was so happy that Mabel had finally been found by me, it was such a blessing and I was beaming with smiles, but what I didn't understand was the frown that was fixed on her beautiful face, like she was not happy to see me. "Mabel, what's wrong?" I questioned her and got hold of her hands, "Don't you miss me too?" I questioned her, I felt my words breaking badly alongside my heart.She gently removed her hands from mine, "You should leave here immediately." She told me calmly and began to walk away.Her words hurt me so much but I was sure she didn't mean it, she loved me too much to chase me away, and I was sure about what I'm saying, I knew I know her more than I knew myself.I rushed to her as she continued walking away, then pulled her into a hug from behind. "I don't know what I did to you but I'm sorry, please don't push me away, I love you so much and I miss you so bad." I muttered to her hearing.By then, everyone in the coffee shop had turned us to a cinema, they
Mabel pov.I held tightly to Stefan's hand as I held the words of the doctors. They wanted to start the operation fully, they had only covered up the parts of his body, where he was bleeding from, in other words stopping the bleeding, so that he wouldn't lose much more blood than he had already lost, they have not begin any treatment on him since he was not cooperating with them like they said and they feared that he won't make it, as he was not willing to fight.But seeing that he gripped my hand gave them an assurance that he would be willing to fight now, probably to come back to me and that got me crying, he loved me, even at the point of death."Ma'am, I think you have to leave here now." A nurse said to me, ready to lead me out of the room.I nodded understanding that they were considering the fact that I was pregnant and that I might not like the sight of blood, which of course was simply the truth, I was even almost barfing at the thought of it not talking of seeing it.I gent
Unknown pov."What are you trying to tell me?!" My deep voice rang around my dark study room.I had command that the lights in the study to be switched off and it had been. The simple reason for my decree was to hit the incompetent fellows I sent on a simple errand, hard without them knowing how I would hit them, or where I would or when I would. I was just so annoyed and trying to be calm just to extract more information from them had been the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.Right now, I wanted to hear their reasons for always being so incompetent, then I will trash their souls to the grim ripper, before bringing in more smarter people that will help me in finishing up my obstacles once and for all."We saw his body......" One of my offenders was talking but I cut him off."Start from the beginning and you better not stammer, because the more you make a mistake, the harder you die. If you make no mistake while talking, then a bullet in the head but if you do, I don't want to
