2023-08-20 14:42:46Alice glared back at him.
“Don’t give me that bullshit. I will ask you again what are you doing in my apartment.”Khan leaned forward as his eyes were still focused on hers. His nose brushed against her. Alice stood her ground. She refused back down. A few seconds passed with the intensity rising between them. Khan pulled back and sneered.“You never learn do you.”‘Oh, I do, you just don’t know.’ Alice thought to herself.Khan turned around and walked back to the couch. He took a seat and crossed his legs.Alice leaned against the door frame while watching Khan.“Where were you?” Khan asked.“Why? Did anything happen at the company?”“ANSWER ME, DAMIT!” Khan screamed.It’s kind of intrigued Alice to see him get so wound up. She knew he felt like he was losing control over her and that pissed him off the most,“Khan. I went to see a client.” Alice said calmly showing him that the threats in his voice did not bother her in the least. She folded her arms as she walked up to him. Alice stopped a few feet from him and tilted her head as she looked at him unfazed by the tantrum he was throwing.“We are way past that point where I have to answer to you. If you have a problem with my whereabouts take it up with my father.”“Oh - Oh, with your father, you say. The one who wants you dead. Ha - have you lost your mind, Alice?”“Did I Khan?”“Yes! It looks that way.”“Then get out of my fucking house so I can get some rest and get my sanity back!”Khan looked at her for a second contemplating. “Fine. Get your shit in order. We are transporting a big load out to LLC, next week.”Alice closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. “You are in control of arranging the drop-off. I did my part Khan. Do you want me to do your job as well?”“It seems you are in one of your moods again. I am leaving. Call me when you get your shit in order.”Alice gritted her teeth as she watched him leave. The door slammed behind Khan as he walked out. Alice clenched her fist against her sides while staring at the closed door.The next morning Alice went to see Khan. He wanted Alice to arrange for people to escort the trucks to the delivery site,“Khan you are taking a big risk transporting such a big order at once,” Alice said as she looked at Khan while he was sitting in his office behind his desk. Alice was standing at the window looking over the city.“I know what I am doing. Just do what I ask of you.”Alice jerked her head to him. "Fine. I will arrange people.”“Is there something else on your mind?” Khan asked.“Why are you asking?”“You are acting strange,” Khan had a glint of mistrust in his eyes and Alice knew she could not show him that she knew he was lying to her.Alice turned to him and stared him straight in the eyes. “Don’t you dare look at me like that?”“Like what?”“Like you are not trusting me. Are you saying that I am acting strange? Different? Really? Well, you know what, do you blame me? You kept telling me over the year that I am not ready but when I almost got killed, you tell me my father is the one who wants to kill me and was also responsible for killing Kevin. You tell me how the fuck should I react? I am sorry for not being mis sunshine. Wait, no. You know what. If you have a fucking problem with my attitude, get someone else to do whatever you want to do because I can arrange to kill my father on my own. Fuck this. I have been showing you nothing but loyalty so if you still can't trust me after all this time you will never.” Alice turned around walking toward the door.“Alice. Wait,” Khan yelled out.An evil smile played out on her lips as she stopped. As she turned around the smile was gone, replaced by anger that showed through her eyes.“What?”“Your right. I trust you. I am sorry.”“Khan. If this ever happens again. You can find yourself a new partner. Even if you still have not told me why you are after Adriano. I think you have more to live for than me. I truly don’t care if I live or die, and you know that.”“Your right okay. Let's drop it.”Alice stared at him for a bit.“When do you need the men?” Alice asked getting back to what they originally talked about.“Next Friday.”“Okay then. I will arrange everything. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave then.”Khan nodded. Alice left his office as she walked toward her office, she texted Jackson.A - ‘How are things moving along?’To Alice's astonishment, she got a direct reply.J - ‘As planned.”A - ‘Great. Get the guys ready for a heist next Friday. I will meet you later to talk about it in more detail.’J - ‘On it.’Related chapters
Two Worlds Apart Chapter 26
Alice was quite impressed with Jackson. He had managed to arrange all their men, start their business, and equipped the whole base in a manner of two weeks.It was Friday night. The night their first heist would take place. The day the LLC Corporations delivery was scheduled for. Alice felt confident as she stared at the motorcycles in front of her. Everyone was suited in black leather attire and was awaiting her orders. She wanted to be physically present when they take over the trucks. The plan was straightforward. They would take over the trucks and burn all the products inside.Alana secured the headset at the side of her mouth and put her helmet on.“Is everyone ready?” She called out over the headset.She was answered by the revs of the motorcycles. Jackson was watching everything from a drone in the air.“Let’s go.”Alice stayed at the back and kept an eye on everything from behind. They had gone through the plan numerous times. Everyone knew exactly what to do. She also went t

Alice's eyes traveled over the people.“You want a beer?” Jackson asked in a raised voice. The music was quite loud making it difficult to communicate in a regular voice.Alice nodded at him. Jackson climbed out of the booth and walked toward the bar. Alice liked to look at the people and watch what they were doing. She never could understand how people think. Her eyes stopped at a bunch of young girls in their early twenties, dressed in short skirts and high heels. The crop tops they had on made sure to cling as tightly as possible around their boobs which made them almost pop out.Jackson came back and caught her staring into the distance with a troubled expression. His eyes followed hers and spotted the young girls. He shook his head as he chuckled then slid the beer to Alana. He clicked his beer against the rim of her bottle before sitting down.“Cheers,”Alice raised her beer towards him and then took a sip. She placed hit down and motioned with her chin toward the girls.“Are th

- Warning - This chapter contains foul language.Alice threw the guy into the alley that was next to the bar. He scrambled on his hands and then to his feet. His nose was bleeding profoundly, making his face covered in blood. He bent his head down and charged toward Alice like a bull. Alice effortlessly dodges him. She turned around and kicked him on the butt causing him to stumble forward and fall flat on his belly. Alice leaned against the side of the building waiting for the scumbag to get to his feet again. His clothes were already torn. His pants struggled to keep themself up showing his crack.Alice pulled her face in disgust. It was a waste of her energy to fight with him any longer.“Go home!” The boredom could be heard in her voice.Only a dimmed light from the streetlamps shined into the alley which made the alleyway quite dark. As the scumbag stood up, he grabbed a hand full of loose gravel. He turned and immediately threw it into Alice’s face. The gravel hit her and caused

Kevin gently stroked Alice’s hair. After a while, Alice pulled back and stared up at Kevin. Kevin was not much taller than her, but she still had to look up a little bit to look him in the eyes. Alice's eyes revealed what she wanted him to do. Kevin did not think twice, he cupped her face with both hands. Alice closed her eyes taking in every moment with him. ‘How could something like this be real? How could he finally be holding me like this? This must be some kind of dream. Things like this do not happen to me.’ Alice thought to herself. Then she felt his lips against her forehead, Alice kept her eyes closed not daring to open them. Kevin softly kissed her on the tip of her nose. She felt him pull away. She felt his stare on her lips. One second, two seconds, and then she felt his soft lips against hers. He kissed her as if she would disappear as if he did not kiss her hard enough. She let him slip his tongue into her mouth. Alice had never kissed anyone before, but she let Kevin

Maisie thought she would never get the chance to meet Alice. It was like seeing a role model in front of her. I have heard so many stories about her. She was ruthless showed no fear and did not take shit from anyone. Maisie stared amazed at Alice as she dragged the man outside. Maisie looked at Jackson as he casually walked toward the bar unbothered about whatever was happening outside. ‘I have seen this guy before’ Maisie thought to herself but did not linger on that thought when she shifted her gaze to Luca who exited the bathroom. How was it possible to feel so head over heels in love with this man?’ Maisie felt her heartbeat picking up just by watching him walk toward her. When Maisie stared at Luca, she saw her heart. Knowing it sounded stupid, but Maisie could not help herself she was stupidly, utterly smitten in love with him.Maisie watch Luca's expression change looking deep in thought.Luca frowned as he caught a glimpse of Jackson who walked toward the bar. He looked at Mai

‘I once heard the quote “I don’t want normal, easy, or simple. I want painful, difficult, devasting, life-changing, and extraordinary love.” But this shit is too much. I guess the love we had between us was one sided.’ Maisie thought to herself as she glared through her hair at Luca. Maisie had begged him when he dragged her out of the car but was left stunned when she felt a hard blow across her face. Everything turned to silence, death screaming silence. Maisie reached for her cheek and held it. The darkness that surrounded Maisie felt suffocating. With that one slap, she felt him tearing her heart out. A Strong hand gripped her on her shoulder and pulled her around.“This one is the prettiest of them all, Luca.”“Stop fucking around and take her inside,” Luca said with a sneer.Maisie watched as Luca walked away without glancing backward. Maisie looked at his figure disappearing into the dark with a frown. “This must be all a mistake. Maybe he had no choice, and this is only for sh

“Get out,” Luca shouted to the other guy.The guy looked at Maisie for a second and shook his head. Without saying another word, the guy stood up and left. The sound of the door cracking as it shut echoed throughout the silent room. Maisie felt her breathing quicken as her eyes bore into Luca’s. He stood there staring at her as though they were strangers. His eyes looked vacant of emotions. Maisie felt foolish forever believing he once felt something for her. But who was she to kid herself? Looking back at things now. She never fully knew him.Seeing the emptiness in his eyes she could already guess her answer. Maisie releases a snort. She leaned her head forward and began shaking it from side to side. The laughter that erupted from her throat sounded forced but heartbreaking.She suddenly stopped and jerked her head up in his direction.“What someone paid you to do this, it was all for money or no… no, let me guess, you did this for revenge. You could not get your hands on my brother

Maisie remembered a while ago she had heard over the radio that the Labrato family's remains were found in a lake house, allegedly a wire short-circuit, caught fire in the middle of the night. The family was misfortune and died in the fire. Maisie had thought at that time that something didn't add up and there had to be more to the story. Having a possible cause, the police had no choice further cause to keep the case open and the case was closed on that report. Snapping back to reality, Maisie continued,“What do I have to do with this?” Maisie could not think of why she was implicated in this matter.“What do you have to do with this?” Leo repeated her question in a sarcastic tone, “You, my dear are just unfortunate to have been born in the Rodriquez family. Through you, I get to take my revenge.”Maisie felt her inside turning upside down upon hearing his words.“What- What do you,” She stopped and swallowed, as though she was preparing herself to say the next words, “want to do wi

Kevin felt something wet dripping on him. He looked up and noticed the dark clouds above him. The rain poured down upon him. He sat like that for a few moments before he stood up with Alice in his arms. He walked toward his car, opened the back door, and laid her gently on the back seat. He wiped his tears roughly with his arm as he walked toward the driver's side and slid behind the wheel. He started the car and drove off.Kevin stood in the field. The rain had stopped but the clouds were still thick and dark in the air.With the shovel in his hand, he looked down at Alice’s grave a few km from the Orphanage that had burned down. This was their place, where they were happy, and this is the place where he wanted her to rest. Kevin slid on his knees. The gentle breeze blew past him leaving no sound. Like an ocean takes the dirty sand so has my heart been taken away with you. Only a shell of a man remains.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Kevin disappeared after the death of Alice. He chang

There is a saying that tomorrow is not promised to anyone. How too aware was Alice of these words? She never cared for these words since she only had revenge to live for, but everything changed when she met Kevin again. She somehow saw hope in her dark life again.Alice tore her eye from Adriano and looked at Khan. Her gaze was sharp, her face was void of any emotion. Khan frowned.“You don’t believe me, do you?” He asked.Alice kept his gaze for a second before she responded.“Oh no, I do believe you.”Khan could not handle Alice's calm demeanor.He burst out laughing and looked down at Adriano who was clenching his chest.“Do you hear that Adriano? She heard every word I said, yet she shown no emotion toward it.” Khan continued laughing while he clapped his hands looking ecstatic about the discovery. “You’re really one heartless woman Alice.”“Are you done?” Alice asked bored. She sneered as she continued, “I may be heartless, but I am not naive, I know how to value the people that

Alice's brows furrowed as her gaze focused on the wheels of Maisie’s bed. She felt a pull on her hand and looked up only to meet Kevin’s eyes.“Are you coming?” He asked.Deep in thought, she gazed at him for a few seconds until her attention was drawn to the ringing of her phone. Without looking at the caller Id she answered almost like knowing who it was. Without saying a word, she held the phone against her ear.“Come home. You have 30 minutes.” Left with only those words the call ended.Alice gazed forward. She lowered the phone with a cold expression and turned to Kevin.“I have some personal matter to deal with first.”Kevin frowned. Uneasiness suddenly overwhelmed him. He could not understand the agitation he felt.“I’ll come with you,” Kevin said without hesitance.“No, Kevin. Maisie has yet to awaken. Your family needs you here. I will deal with my matters and then return.”Kevin could not rebuke her request and could only look as she walked away.He has dealt with many matte

“We are losing her.” Doctor Ian yelled,“She’s coding!”“Crash Cart!”“Clear!!”‘Somehow Maisie knew Luca we're gone. It was as though her soul was still longing, searching for him. Was he calling for her?‘My dearest heart-’‘Sad isn’t it though? To think you are still yearning for him. Sadly, I confess, yes, I still love him. I think - I think, even before I knew what those words meant I knew that I love him, even if he didn’t. I still so deeply loved him. Tell me though, how can I be an architect of my own life if I could not even control you? Every cell and fiber in my body can contest that these words are true. Oh, my dear heart, that once used to beat underneath my chest. Do you still think of this as beautiful?”Kevin and Alice rushed into the hospital toward the emergency room.“There is a young girl that was brought in a while ago, we are her family. Where is she?” Alice asked the lady sitting behind the reception desk.“Give me a moment.” The lady said as she franticly typed

How significantly can one choice change a life? Standing in the doorway and looking down at the bruised figure laying still on the cold concrete floor, Luca felt himself forgetting to breathe for a faint moment. He knew if he took one step over the invisible line that was drawn between him, and her his life would be over. ‘Mine or hers? Mine or hers? He kept repeating the phrase in his mind even though he already knew the answer to it. His hands trembled at his side as his feet slowly crossed the line, he was so desperately anxious to cross throughout his life. Was the iceberg he built around his heart broken down piece by piece by her when he did not notice?Maisie’s eyes shot open, and he stopped. Lifeless eyes stared back at him. They were dull, the light that they once held was gone broken to pieces.“M - Maisie,” The voice that left his lips even sounded foreign to him.She did not move. She did not speak but only stared back at him emotionlessly. Her face was bruised, her lips s

Breathing felt difficult for Luca as he closed the door behind him.“No, please. OH, heavens no!” Maisie’s cries echoed through the door.Luca closed his eyes as he held onto the doorknob. He knew well enough what Leo was doing inside. The lump that had formed in his throat felt like it was suffocating him. He could not get himself to turn around and walk away like all the previous times. Her pleading cries felt like a thousand blades had pierced into his flesh. With closed eyes, Luca slid to his knees.‘Why did he have to stay and torment his soul, why couldn't he just stand up and walk away like a normal fool? He could not. He could not seem to get his limbs to move. His head banged against the cold concrete floor. To muffle out the sound he tightly pressed his hands against his ears. But to no prevail, he could still hear every sound.Flashbacks of his past flickered before his eyes. He was taken back to the memory of his mother.With no recollection of his Father, hell he does not
