Quietly, not to alert her colleagues, the elderly waitress who came to check who was knocking on their back door closed the door and stepped out.She walked to the corner of the restaurant which was a little isolated as Alex kept showing her the gun.“Three minutes almost over,” he said for the lady to sigh.“She….” The elderly lady sighs as she looks like she made a promise not to say anything but her life is at stake now.“Her name is Gloria, she was once our colleague” she said for Alex to nod.“And?” He asked for the lady to sigh.“The girl with you looked like the blue-eyed baby she does show us that she had in her first marriage before she divorced and got married to a drug dealer lord in New York. After a year in the marriage according to her, he was toxic and forced her to take drugs. She kept on until five years later she couldn’t take it anymore when he wanted to do what he used to do to her, she defended herself with a gun which automatically took his life and ever since sh
The old man looked at Alex, trying to find anything in him.Alex noticed the old man's eyeball going around his body before he sighed dropping his cup of coffee.“I don’t look much like my mother,” he said for the old man to squeeze his brows.“Ex…excuse me,” he said in shock.“I’m Alexander McCollum’s and if she’s your daughter then I’m your grandson because she’s my mother,” he said pointing at his mother's picture on his phone.“No way” the old man gasped.“No way,” he said again not believing the grown-up man in his front was his family. When he thought he was going to die alone in this world after the disappearance of his daughter and the death of his wife.“Marie son” he whispered for Alex to nod smiling.“Can I hug you?” He asked looking at Alex with tears in his eyes.“Please let me hug you, Alexander,” he said standing up as he immediately removed his coat looking at Alex who stood up and the old man hugged him.“ Marie son” he called again hugging Alex who hugged him back.“
At the tunnel entrance close to the stream, both men walk in with Hazel who still struggles to free herself.“Please just say whatever you want. Don’t hurt me please” she pleaded for them both not to respond.“Have you searched for her phone?” One asked for the other one to shake his head.“We don’t need anything, Marcus, just enjoy her and leave.” The other responded for Hazel to begin to cry.“Please I beg you” she cried for the other one to chuckle.“Somebody help!!” Hazel screamed hoping her voice would echo and this got both men angry and Marcus slapped her making her fall to her knees.“Please” Hazel cried as her mouth began to bleed.“Find a suitable place, Marcus, we have walked for too long, I’m losing my patience.” The other one said as he looked at Hazel smiling.Marcus pushed Hazel to the ground after they left the damp area of the tunnel.“Let’s take turns,” he said for Hazel to shake her head pleading.Outside the county, in a damp area, Sam stopped the car for Alex to i
Hazel looked away because it was a thought she had been curious about which she would even call the mastermind of going to find her mother.“I don’t understand Alex” she finally said for Alex to sit close to her holding her hands.“Let me make you understand Hazel,” he said looking deep into her blue eyes.Hazel could feel the heat between them but she’s very sure Alex won’t touch her because she’s still bleeding.“I want to hate the fact that Marie is your mother's friend and she advised your mother to abandon your father because he’s very poor but still it’s very obvious that Marie could be my very own mother Marie.” He said pushing Hazel's hair back of her ear.“And if that happens to be, will you hate my mother?” He asked using his thumb to rub her thick luscious lips.Hazel could not speak as she could feel Alex's breath on her face. She parted her lips trying to breathe through her mouth since his closeness was making her breathless but she didn’t know that was a trigger for Ale
Hazel held tight to Alex as they all stood looking at the old woman.“And you are?” Alex asked covering his fear with curiosity.“Gladys, Gladys Kentucky,” she said with a smile.“Are you Gloria Kentucky's mother?” he asked for the old woman to smile.“Oh, dear Gloria, I’m her aunty. I am Gloria's father's sister. I saw the Kentucky bloodline in her that’s why I came directly to her. Come” she said walking towards the shabby house.“Alex, let’s go back” Hazel whispered for Alex to chuckle.“Let’s feed our curiosity, dear wife.” He said as he held Hazel's hands and they quietly followed the old lady towards the old farmhouse.Inside the dark-looking room with light sipping from the broken weak woods of the house, the old lady asked the three of them to sit but none was ready to risk sitting on a shabby-looking cushion chair.“We are good, thanks,” Alex said for the old lady to chuckle.“I might be a witch, but I can’t hurt her, that means I can’t hurt you both too because she’s with yo
After the long drive, during the sunset, a black car drove into Alex's mansion, Sam drove to the garage and packed the car while Alex carried Hazel who was sleeping down as he walked into the mansion.All the maids and the mansion butler stood to welcome their boss who walked past them carrying his wife without responding to their greetings.Gently Alex dropped Hazel on the bed before he began to pull off his clothes to take a shower.Once he was done, he came out with a towel around his waist to hear a knock on his bedroom door.“Who is it?” Alex's deep voice asked for his butler to quickly respond.“Boss, the chairman is at the study,” he said for Alex to sigh.“Ok,” he said as he went to his wardrobe to dress up.Alex walks out of his bedroom in white long pants and a white shirt, he walks towards his study.“I’ve told you this is my territory, you don’t walk in here like you want,” he said to his father who sat on his cushion chair reading a magazine.“You are becoming reckless,”
Hazel already arranged Alex's head on her lap as she kept rubbing his back to calm him down which he already did.It’s been almost thirty minutes of silence when Alex's phone rang and Hazel looked at the caller I’d.“Simon” she whispered before picking up.“Boss, I sent the madam's mother information to the email already, and also I’ve prepared some men to go bring your grandfather from the western county,” he said but got no response.“Boss” he called for Hazel to respond.“He’s sleeping,” she said and hung up.She wondered what information Alex asked for and what Simon found and most importantly he never mentioned he had a grandparent in the western county.Simon covered his mouth as he didn’t know if his boss would be happy for his wife to be aware of the findings now. He sigh going through his computer as he wonder what on earth pushed Hazel's mother to get married to one of America's most notorious drug lords.Alex felt Hazel moving her legs like she was feeling numb so he raised
Immediately Hazel sat down as she kept looking at the photo, her tears were rolling because she knew her father was long gone, and seeing someone look exactly like him brings back his memories of suffering.“Who are you? why are you showing me this?” She asked for the unknown sender to reply.“I am anonymous and I’m showing you this because you know who is he” the sender responded.“My father is dead” she typed.“No, he isn’t. I will thank Katherine for telling me that your father was actually not dead, he suggested they fake his death to let you live your life in peace” the sender responded for Hazel to frown.“How did you know Katherine?” She furiously typed.“Oh I don’t know her she contacted me.” The sender responded as it sent along the papers of Mr Smith's release from the Geriatric Hospital.“Ahh” Hazel gasped as she covered her mouth after reading the papers.“Who are you? please don’t hurt him. What do you want?” She asked in her text as her body became nervous.“Calm down, f
