As she prepared her drink, she felt her phone buzzing again. She was a little tire but still, she took it out."Hun?" She glanced at the caller then answered it."Boss," A nervous voice came through. Ariana's face furrowed as she felt something was wrong."What happened?" She asked."The plan failed. I am so sorry that I gave you a wrong information," The man apologised.Arianna went silent for a while then walked out of the cafeteria back to her office."You missed it? It's fine. I'll call you later," She said then hang up the call. She scrolled through her phone's call log and dialed Vincenzo's number." Hello?" He picked at the second attempt. He was in his office going through some files and its surprising that he picked her call."How is it going?" She asked as she turned on her laptop."The plan?" Vincenzo asked in return."Yes, the plan. Have you done anything?" She inquired."I got a few updates from my men and I think you'll like them." He paused giving room for tension.Then
"What did you say?" Shirley gasped in surprised. She couldn't believe her ears."What did you just say to me Ariana?!" She yelled angrily."I don't want us to have any issues Shirley. Please leave," Ariana calmly told her then turned to leave but Shirley grabbed her right arm preventing her from moving."You aren't like this. This isn't you Ariana. Please do not become a murderer," She begged but Ariana scoffed at her."Is that what you came here to tell me? If that's the case, fine I don't be a murderer are you satisfied now? Please leave," She said again.Shirley shook her head stubbornly causing Ariana to frown."I do not want us to have any issues, Shirley. You are the last person I ever wanted to see me like this and if you don't leave. I am afraid I'll have to make you get out of my room by force," She coldly replied. The beautiful smile on her face was already gone and what was there was a cold and dead eyes.Shirley took steps back unknowingly as she couldn't believe her ears.
"Who are we talking about now?" Vincenzo asked.Ariana shook her head then distanced herself from him."It's fine. I thought she told you something," She said. Vincenzo's eyes never left her and he wondered what she was hiding.His eyes trailed down her body and that was when he saw her hands were bandaged."When did this happen?" He blurted out and grabbed her hand catching her off guard. Ariana's eyes widened in fear as she saw the cold look in his eyes.He was getting furious and might flare at her. "How did you sustain this injury?" He bellowed.Ariana's heart skipped a bit and she quickly tried to remove her hand but his grip didn't lesson on it."You are hurting me,"She cried out but he shut her up ruthlessly."You are the one hurting yourself, Ariana. Why did you hide this from me? You hid it so well that I didn't take notice of it. Is this what you feared? You feared that 'she' was going to tell me? And who's this she? Is it Shirley?" He probed, asking questions upon question
Damn! The man was so terrifying! Shirley couldn't help but shiver at Vincenzo's cold expression. He looked like someone who was angered from home. Could it be that he quarreled with Ariana?Shirley walked inside the room, swallowing her fear. She took a deep breath then walked inside, wearing a forced smile. She couldn't even fake a real smile! "Good morning, sir. I am sorry for barging in on you," She said, nervously as she tried hard to get away from his hostile gaze. Why doesn't she get used to his cold ways? "Welcome, please have a seat," Vincenzo calmly replied. One could see the curiosity in his eyes but the cold and expressionless face denied people from seeing that."Martin told me that you wanted to tell me something important." He started. He closed the file he was going through then leaned against the office chair. His probing eyes rested on the woman before him. Even if Martin hadn't told him she wanted to see him, he would have called her over. Ariana was acting suspic
Ariana walked inside the room feeling happy. She sat gently on the bed and took out her phone then logged inside a legit site that publishes daily news."Hun? There is plenty of news in just 2 minutes, let's see," She muttered while scrolling through the news feeds but there was nothing there."What's going on?" Her brows furrowed tightly and she logged out of there into another site but nothing was there.What's going on?"Hello boss," Titus's voice sounded from the phone and from the noisy background alone it showed that he was busy."Any updates from the assassins?" She asked. " Oh, I haven't checked that. Give me a few minutes," He said, then hung up the call.Ariana dropped her phone waiting patiently. Her brows creased lightly as a thought crossed her mind." No, he can never do it. He wouldn't dare to go against our agreement," She clenched her hands still waiting for the call.Her phone's screen turned on and she quickly answered the call."What's the update?" she asked anxio
Vincenzo stared at the fear stricken woman before him and his eyes cleared."What have I done?" He muttered and quickly got away from her. He stared at her with worry in his eyes but he still feared to near her.His eyes blinked rapidly as he saw how visibly shaken she was. He noticed the red marks on her neck and his heart almost stopped beating.'What have I turned myself into?' He thought then slowly make his way to the door and left the room.Ariana watched him leave the room without saying a word and she cried out bitterly. She held her chest and cried out all the pain she felt.Vincenzo listened from the door then took out his phone."What's the update?" He asked coldly with an expressionless face."It's the Silver organization," Martin sighed helplessly." Explain in details," He muttered as he made his way back to his room." They are among the top 3 middle tier organization and completely involved with a lot of serial killings for the past 10 years. I feared that Ariana has p
Rex walked out of the bedrooms with bags underneath his eyes. He yawned heavily then sat on the almost worn out sofa."It has been a few days since I left the house. I am so hungry and tired," He muttered to himself as he picked the remote to watch any station available.And as he scrolled through the channels a soft knock sounded from the door."Hum?" His brows raised up. "Maybe it's not here," He muttered then faced the tv. He made sure not to get out of the house because of the letter he received from an unknown sender."It's that I die inside my rented apartment than have a bullet engraved in my brain," He hissed and continued scrolling through the internet when the knock came again which was then followed by the door bell.He hissed then quickly got up from the sofa to see who the person might be."I hope it's not those serial killers?" He muttered as his lazy eyes looked through the peephole but no one was there."Is this some type of prank?" He muttered and shook his and just
"Is this real?" Rex asked and the man nodded in confirmation. He took out the results and showed it to him.Rex stood abruptly with the paper tightly held in his hand. He felt tears blurred his vision and he quickly wiped them off."Can I see her now?" He asked"Sure, congratulations," The man said and he nodded."Thank you doctor…?" He stuttered."Henry, Doctor Henry." He replied, taking the handshake.Rex nodded and walked out of the room with him and in no time he saw the ward his wife was in."Here," Doctor Henry indicated."Thank you," He muttered and pushed the door open. He sniffed back the tears that threatened to fall and ran towards Vera who was unconscious."Thank you," He muttered and slowly raised her cold hand to his face, caressing it.He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead then smiled."This news is better than anything in the world. Thank you for standing with me even though the world is against us. Thank you for taking In my child and keeping the baby safe," He smil
