Rey lay on the bed, shirtless. He had his arms folded at the back of his head as he stared at the ceiling of the dark bedroom. The room was designed with fine dark wood, just the way Rey loved it. It would give anyone who came into it a chilly feeling. He was lost in his thoughts as he just stared into space without even blinking.His thoughts were interrupted by a knock on his door. He averted his gaze to look at the door."Come in." He said. The door was pushed open and Charlie walked in."Boss." He greeted them with a slight bow."Speak," Rey ordered, sitting up to look at Charlie properly."The job has been done," Charlie revealed. Rey nodded his head."Good." He stated. That was supposed to be good news but he still didn't look satisfied. He lay back on the bed, resuming his staring competition with the ceiling. After some minutes, he turned again to see Charlie still standing there."What? Is there something else?" He asked."Not at all boss, I was waiting for an order from you,
Chelsea stared at Mr Brown. She didn't understand why he was suddenly mute.She began to walk towards the stairs to go to Amelia's bedroom."Stop." Mr Brown ordered and Chelsea halted. She turned blankly to look at him. Why was he acting strangely? Did Amelia tell him what had happened between them? And was he going to send her away now?"Amelia..." Mr Brown suddenly felt a lump grow in his throat. "She is at your place, right?" He finally asked. Chelsea's eyes narrowed confusedly. "My place?" She questioned again, with her hand on her chest."She said you both were having a girl's night out or whatever she called it." Mr Brown confirmed.Chelsea shook her head. "No, we aren't. We didn't make any plans for something like that. We haven't even started talking to each other yet." She said, utterly confused.Mr Brown was speechless, he quietly sat down on the couch, not knowing what to even think of Amelia's whereabouts."I don't understand what is going on," Chelsea said. There was a w
Rey gave Amelia the best sex she would have ever asked for. They both realized that sex in the open with just the stars watching them was the best. They were both so exhausted that they slept off immediately after they were done.They had just slept for a few minutes when the watch on Rey's hand began to beep. Rey's eyes snapped open. The beeping sound of the watch was a sign that there was an armed or dangerous external presence nearby. It was something Charlie had gotten for him to protect himself in the mountain. Rey's eyes darted around the place trying to check for signs of something or someone. The moonlight was very bright so he didn't even need a torchlight to be able to see his way around. He gradually stood up, rolling Amelia off of him.He couldn't see anything, but the watch was still beeping and his nerves were on the high end. Rey always trusted his instincts so it was either whatever it was that wanted to attack them was hiding and lurking somewhere around or he just h
Amelia woke up the next morning to see it was daylight. Her heart skipped, and she immediately picked up her phone to check the time. She had about an hour to be at work. She turned to Rey who was still asleep."Rey? Rey?" She called, tapping him vigorously.Rey opened his eyes in panic as he thought something was wrong. "What is it?" He questioned."It's daylight already!" Amelia announced. Rey stared at her confusedly. It was daylight, he wasn't blind."Okay...so? I can see that." He responded."I have to go to work!" Amelia reminded him. Rey's lips formed an O shape as he remembered."Yeah, that's right. You do. Are you late already?" He asked and Amelia shook her head."Not yet, but I will be in an hour. Get out of the car." She ordered."Huh?" Rey mumbled."Yeah, get out. I need to change my clothes." Amelia said again."Go ahead and change, there's nothing I haven't seen before," Ray stated, with a shrug."Rey, get out! Now!" "Really? I have- you know what? Nevermind." Rey sai
Amelia's body was trembling. The driver of the car had sped off after hitting the man. Amelia had no idea who the brown leather jacket man was, but she felt really bad for him. Tears were stinging the corners of her eyes as a crowd began to grow around the spot. No one tried to help the man as most of them were busy recording the scene. Amelia couldn't bear to watch it anymore, she rushed into the office premises then she brought out her phone.Her hands were trembling as she tried to dial 911."911, what's your emergency?" A female voice said over the phone."An accident. There is an accident." Amelia started in a shaky voice."Calm down Miss. Take a deep breath, try to be calm. Where are you and what is your name?" The cop asked."I wasn't a victim of the accident. It happened right in front of me. He could be dead." Amelia cried."Where are you?" The cop inquired again."Uhh...Voltez Ventures. It happened right in front of Voltez Ventures, please hurry." Amelia pleaded."We are on
Amelia didn't feel okay for the rest of the day. She was still trying to comprehend what had happened. As soon as she got home, she went into her bedroom and locked herself inside. She didn't even care about her father calling her to dinner later as she had no appetite and she didn't even want to see him.She had already drifted off into a dreamless sleep when the sound of her phone ringing woke her up. She reached for the phone, tapping the bed until she finally grabbed it. Without even opening her eyes or checking the caller ID, she pressed the power button of the phone to decline the call and turned to the other side of the bed. The phone rang again and this time, she finally opened her eyes."Who the fuck is this?" She muttered sleepily. She picked up the phone and saw it was Rey calling, her eyes immediately became fully opened."Hey." She said as she picked up the call, then she cleared her throat as her voice was husky."Were you asleep?" Rey questioned."Yeah, I was. But It d
"Where are we going?" Amelia asked, trying to keep her feet stable.Rey took her to her car. "Get in. Give me the keys, I'm driving." He ordered.Amelia gave him the keys as she went to sit on the passenger seat, while Rey mounted the driver's seat."Where are we going?" Amelia asked again."You are not the only one allowed to look different, your car does too," Rey responded."Huh?" Amelia muttered, but she didn't get any response.He soon pulls up at a car shop. "Get down." He said, unfastening his seatbelt. Amelia did the same and got out of the car."Hey man, this is the car I told you about," Rey said to the man he met there."Oh, it's a good one. Hello Miss." He said, then waved at Amelia with a little smile.Rey cleared his throat. "Please focus on the car." He said to the man, without trying to hide his jealousy. Amelia found it very amusing."So, what are we doing?" The man asked."Just repaint the car and change its number plate," Rey replied."Alright, noted." Amelia gentl
Rey helped Amelia prepare about thirty slides for the presentation, when they were done, she was so exhausted that she slept off while still on a call with him.The next day, Amelia got to work early to prepare herself more for the presentation. Shortly after her arrival, Susan, her father's secretary walked into her office."Hello, Amelia." Susan greeted me with a smile."Hi," Amelia responded with a straight face."The boss sends for you. He wants you in his office as soon as possible." Susan said then she walked out of the office.Amelia rolled her eyes after she left, she wasn't going to honor his invitation."Dana?" She called, a few minutes after Susan left.Dana walked into the office from the toilet where she had been. "Yes, Amelia?" She responded."My father wants to see me," Amelia revealed and Dana raised a brow at her, waiting for her to go on."Stop staring at me that way, you're going there in place of me " Amelia added."But he asked to see you and not me." Dana retort
Rey sat next to Amelia, gently stroking her head and staring into space as he was lost in thoughts. The sound of his phone ringing dragged him out of his thoughts. He blinked twice before picking up the phone. He frowned slightly when he saw the caller ID. It was Julian.He sighed and stood up, then be walked out of the room. He was still being vigilant just in case Amelia woke up. He didn't want her to listen to his conversation with a person like Julian.Rey waited for Julian to call again and as soon as he did, he picked up the call."Hello Raymond. I almost thought you were avoiding me, it's been a while, why do....""What do you want, Julian?" Rey cut in."Uhh...is everything okay with you? Why do you sound so uptight? Did I do something that I am not aware of?" Julian asked confusedly."What do you want?" Rey questioned again."Well, I'm in town. I was hoping you could drop by for a drink or two at our usual spot." Julian responded and Rey chuckled softly."You must be delusiona
Chelsea leaned against the car's headrest as her father drove home. Neither of them were talking to each other. It was drizzling and Chelsea's gaze was fixed on the water splashes on the window. Soon, Chief Reynolds pulled up at the garage."Here we are." He said and without turning to look at Chelsea, he unlocked the door and got out of the car. Chelsea sighed and got out too. It was clear they were both disturbed by something. Chelsea didn't know what was wrong with her father, but he knew exactly what was going on with her.She went straight up to her bedroom where she exhaustedly fell on the bed and curled herself up without even taking off her shoes. Chief Reynolds walked into the master bedroom to see his wife on the bed."You're back." Lauren remarked with her eyes still glued to the TV screen.Chief Reynolds looked around the room, there were clothes strewn everywhere."Lauren, why is the whole place messed up? These are your clothes." He complained.Lauren rolled her eyes
Rey had dozed off on the couch in Amelia's private room. He had watched her through out the night and was finally getting some well deserved rest. A gentle but sudden knock on the door immediately sent his eyes flying open and he turned to look at the door. He had been very vigilant about who entered the room because of the two million dollars Grant on Amelia.He got up and walked to the door, then he opened it slowly and peeped through the small opening to see who it was.It was Dr Alvarez."Oh, it's just you, Doctor." Rey stated, relieved.Dr Alvarez only gave him a small smile, then she walked past him and straight to Amelia.Rey carefully locked the door and walked back to his initial position on the couch. Dr Alvarez donned a pair of gloves and a face mask, then she picked up a thermometer and placed it under Amelia's armpit.As it was reading, she turned to look at Rey. "How has she been so far?" She questioned, but Rey shook his head sadly and sighed."Well, still no improveme
Charlie's car was parked a few meters away from the hotel. The hotel was close to the beach. The beach he had kept Amelia's car was very close to the hotel so he had come to monitor it to know when the police would find it when he noticed them around there, but they weren't coming towards the beach, instead they were going to the hotel. He watched closely as he couldn't tell who they were there for. He was just about to peel his eyes away from them when he noticed Mr Brown. His brows creased. He wondered what he was doing there with the police. But he knew that whatever it is they were doing had something to do with Amelia.He immediately brought out his phone and dialled Rey. "Speak." Rey ordered as soon as the line connected."I am currently monitoring the car like you ordered, and I just saw Amelia's father and the police go into the hotel close to the beach." Charlie revealed."Are you sure about that? Are you sure he is her father?" Rey questioned."Yes I am hundred percent sur
Mr Brown walked towards the receptionist's desk to look at the name himself."That jerk. What the hell is he doing here?" He said in a low tone with his eyes darkened.Chief Reynolds looked confused."Who is Max Carter?" He inquired.Chelsea looked up at him with a slightly guilty expression."He..um..He is..." She stuttered."Max is Amelia's ex boyfriend. The one your daughter had an affair with." Mr Brown cut in and Chelsea looked away.Chief Reynolds lips curved into an O shape in realization."Oh wow. What a coincidence. Chelsea, care to explain how he is here right now?" He questioned."I have no idea dad. We stopped talking to each other." She said, straightforwardly. "The only person who can answer this is Max himself or perhaps Amelia because this isn't a mere coincidence. Stop looking at me like that. What happened between Max and I is all in the past and it was a mistake." She added."Chief, I couldn't find any Tesla in the garage. I asked the security guard and he confirmed
"Dad,is there a new update?" Chelsea questioned curiously as soon as her father arrived. Chief Reynolds sighed as he took off his jacket and threw it to the back seat."Well, apparently, Mr Brown has a tracker on his phone." He revealed and Chelsea's eyes narrowed."Yes! Yes he does! I remember! He once followed Amelia and I when we went to the arcade." She said, then she frowned. "But why didn't he use it all this while we've been searching for her?" She added."He said his head had been muddled up and he just didn't think of it then. Well, now he has remembered that, so we should make a good use of it." Chief Reynolds said and then he walked away,towards Mr Brown"Alright, is everything set?" He questioned."Yes, Chief." Mr Brown responded."Okay, can I see the tracker?" Chief Reynolds asked and Mr Brown handed his phone to him."Okay..." He mumbled as he stared at the phone, trying to track Amelia's car."From the look of things, she is still around this vicinity." Chief Reynolds
There were beads of sweat on Chelsea's forehead as she looked very exhausted."Dad, I can't hold up much longer. I am exhausted." She complained."You ate, didn't you?" Chief Reynolds questioned."This isn't about food. My legs are numb. I can barely move. I really don't think Amelia is in this dorm." She replied and Chief Reynolds let out a gentle laughter."You suggested this dorm thing, didn't you? Well, we have to finish what we started. We are checking every single room in each block. We still have five more blocks to go, so be more agile and fast, we do not have much time." He stated as he climbed up the stairs, while Chelsea could barely even lift up her legs to climb."Each block contains two hundred rooms and ten floors. It's so hard." Chelsea complained."Life isn't simple either." Chief Reynolds remarked."Dad, why don't we just use the elevator? It is faster and less stressful." She suggested."I knew there was an elevator before I said we use the stairs, only lazy people
Chelsea stomped to the front of the station. She took out her phone and booked a ride to the dorm, silently regretting not owning a car yet and biting her lips as she waited for the ride to arrive. As soon as the car came, she matched forward towards it and in the process of trying to get in, she stomped her foot on the edge of the car."Ouch! Stupid car!" She hissed in pain."Are you okay ma'am?" The driver asked, filled with concern, but instead he got a glare from Chelsea in response."It is none of your business. Just drive!" She snapped at him.The driver didn't say anything else, he simply started the car and drove off towards the dorm, while Chelsea occasionally touched her sore foot, trying to nurse it."Ma'am, are you sure you are okay? We could stop at a clinic so you could have your foot checked." The driver suggested and Chelsea scoffed."Are you hard of hearing? Or don't you know what mind your own business mean? Aha..hold on. You just spoke about my foot which means you
They had only driven for a few minutes when Chief Reynolds got a call from his walkie talkie. "Chief, the commissioner has asked to see you concerning the life spotting machine. It's really urgent, I suggest you come immediately." The voice said."Alright, I'll be on my way, thank you." Chief Reynolds said. He turned the car and began to drive back to the station."Dad, that is not the way to the dorm." Chelsea remarked."I'm aware of that. I'm the one driving." Chief Reynolds responded."Where are we going?" Chelsea asked."Back to the station. The commissioner has asked to see me." He calmly responded.Chelsea gulped, her eyes moving from her father to the road and back to him again. She felt her father going back to the station instead of just heading for the dorm didn't make any sense, but she couldn't question his decisions.They soon arrived at the station. It was even busier than it had been when they came earlier. Literally everyone was greeting Chief Reynolds, which made Che
