I will have to kill you now

Bethany raised a brow and placed her hand on her chest and the other hand held on to her son. It all happened in a flash or could it be her imagination? She saw his eyes red. No, why would her baby's eyes turn red?

Maybe a light just reflected in his eyes. That would be the only reason.

She stepped back and shut the window, which only made Sebby wail.

"Baby, what is it?" she asked softly and went to seat down, Patting him gently but he wasn't ready to stop.

After some time, she was finally able to make him sleep and gently laid him on the bed to sleep to. Her husband, Edward have been sleeping in his room and so it was just her and her baby.

She closed her eyes and slowly drifted into the land of dreams.

...

The next morning.....

Bethany made sure to wake up early and prepared breakfast for her husband who would be leaving for a meeting that morning. He was getting ready in his room so she used that opportunity to prepare his meal.

Sebby was still asleep and she prayed silently that he wouldn't wake up any time soon. That will only make her slow and unable to finish up in the kitchen.

She rushed out of the kitchen when she heard footsteps, heading for the door.

"Are you leaving already? I prepared breakfast." she said.

Edward looked at her and shook his head. He has to be at the winepress or his boss will chop off his head.

"I don't need your breakfast," he replied staring at her as if irritated by her presence.

She swallowed hard and looked down. "It's going to be a long day at the company, why don't you eat first before leaving?" It's pointless but she decided to try to make him have his breakfast before he leaves.

"I said I am not eating." he said, raising his voice. "Do away with that trash you call a meal." he spat and walked away angrily. "What did I do wrong this time?" She thought in confusion.

Immediately he closed the door behind him, Bethany sat on the closest chair to her and allowed her tears to freely flow down her cheeks. "What did I do to deserve all these? Is this really love?"

Edward entered his old car and drove to the winepress where he works as the vice-chairman. He started off as a mere worker, who works in the factory but after a deal he was able to pull successfully, he was promoted by his young boss.

He pulled over and came out of his car. He took in a deep breath and let it out before he proceeded to his office.

"Sir, the president request for your presence in his office immediately." the secretary said immediately he entered his office.

"Mr. Power is in his office?"

That's strange. His boss is in his office. He hardly visits the office except he feels like it so he leaves the works for Edward.

He's really lazy and hates doing any work but he was really good at producing wine and that's why the factory produces the best wine in the world.

People wonder why a company as big and wealthy as the winepress will be located in the misty mountain town? According to the reports, his family lives in the city and have a comfortable life but he chose to stay in an ordinary village.

Edward left his office hurriedly, to go to Mr. Power's office as he was informed. He got to his office and stood outside the door, trying to calm his beating heart. He must have done something for him to be invited to the boss's office.

What has he done this time around?

He adjusted his tie and suit and after taking in a deep breath and releasing it out, he knocked on the door.

"Come in." The husky, tenor voice of his boss, called him in.

He swallowed the lumps gathered in his throat and went in. He locked the door behind him and bowed his head.

"You called for me, sir?" he asked with his head still bowed.

His boss, who was back facing him, leisurely took a sip of his coffee and scrunch his nose. "This tastes horrible. What kind of coffee is this?" he asked.

Edward raised his head a little and saw the pack of coffee on the desk.

"That is the red coffee. Heard it is really good for the heart."

"Hmm." Mr. power said and faced him, revealing his face which Edward had seen little times. "Then take it away from here. I hate it and never show it to my face again!" he snapped.

Edward hurriedly walked to the desk to pick it, but then, his boss held his hand. "What do you think you are doing?" he asked in a low but power filled voice.

Edward fearfully moved a bit but couldn't go any further. "Please boss, have mercy. I only wanted to take out the coffee as you instructed."

The boss smirked. "No, I am talking about Bethany. What were you thinking when you sent her out at that ungodly hour?" The boss questioned, staring at him menacingly.

"Please forgive me boss. I never meant to throw her out. I allowed my anger to take control of my thinking."

Jordan locked his fingers round his neck and his eyes turned red as he fumed in rage.

"What if she had been harmed after being thrown out? What would have happened to my child if he was all alone without his mother?" he asked and tightened his grip, making Edward's face turn red as he struggled to breathe.

"Have....... mercy...." Edward forced out those words.

"I will have to kill you now!!" he thundered and his office shook due to the impact caused by his power filled voice.

The door opened and a shocked Bethany walked in. "Edward?" she called softly.
