“Sir, Sir. Our server has crashed! Everything is down.” Wes stared horrified at the IT guy that rushed into his office.“Then what are you standing here for? Go fix it! Why do you need me to tell you that?” The veins on Wes’s neck stood out.The guy looked down at his shoes.“I – I can’t”“Is this company full of morons?’ he thought to himself.“What do you mean you can’t? Why are you the head of the IT department if you can’t fix something so straightforward?”“Sir. This is more complex than I have ever seen before. It looks like an outside source has done this– this is beyond my knowledge.”Wes closed his eyes, “Can you speak English? What outside source? How is that possible? Didn’t we buy the best program out there to prevent this? Are you telling me the company wasted money!”“It must be an Elite hacker sir. Hopefully, they will contact us soon, and tell us what they want. Normally they are after money.”“Are you telling me I should wait? That is your plan to WAIT!”Wes noticed his assistant standing at the door.“Speak!”“Sir, all our orders have been frozen by Targo.”Wes immediately stood to his feet“What do you mean our orders have been frozen by Targo? What about those we already paid for?”“They already returned our money. They said they are canceling all future deals with us until further notice.”Wes slowly sat down. His cell phone started ringing on the table. In a daze, he picked it up and glanced at the caller id.“Father?” He answered.“What have you done? The company shares have started to tumble. What have you done?” His fathers askedWes looked at his watch seeing that there was only an hour left before the engagement party would start.“I will fix it,” Wes said and ended the call.Alice arrived at the reception. Dressed in a long black crystal dress that showed off her figure. Her hair was loosely braided and decorated with white daisies. Her elegance and beauty had the people in awe as she entered the hall. She saw Jackson standing by a table talking to shareholders of his company, so she walked toward him.He noticed her as she approached,“Wow, but you look breathtaking tonight, Alice,” Jackson said with a smirk“Thank you, Jackson. You also look handsome.” Jackson looked down at his tux…“Nah this?” He pointed to his suite.“This does not make me look handsome. I always look handsome no matter what I wear. Tell me, to what do I owe the pleasure of your presence?”Alice smirked at Jackson,“Our business will increase with Targo. A little gift to Targo, to show our appreciation.”“Thank you. Please also thank your father on my behalf, we appreciate your business,”Alice looked at the door, and as anticipated. Wes came storming into the reception. He saw her and marched right up to her. Before he could get near her. Khan blocked his way.“Dear, I am so pleased to see you could make it to our engagement party,” Alice said,“Ha, you still think I’ll want to marry you after what you did today? You must be crazy! I told you before our engagement is off. I will never reconsider.,”“What did I do?”Wes pointed his finger at Alice“You!”“Me? You are the one that is calling off the engagement. What did I do?”“Of course! It’s off! Listen here you bitch. I know everything that happened today at Techno was you!”“Oh, is that so? You are accusing me? How can you go around accusing people like that? I am sorry to see your company shares have dropped. But how can that possibly be me? Isn’t it maybe because of your little scandal?” Alice asked.Wes clenched his fist against his sides as he glared at Alice.“I will fucking kill you.”“Oh come on Wes. Can you please stop with the threats and the accusations?”Wes was in so much anger he forgot about the people around them. He only had one thing on his mind. He wanted Alice to undo what she did to his company.She sounds of two people kissing echoed through the speakers. Everyone turned and looked at the white screen behind them.“It’s Wes and… I cannot make out her face. Why did they blur out her face?”“Oh my goodness, They're taking off their clothes.” Murmurs went around the room.Wes turned to Alice,“TURN IT OFF. NOW!”“Accusations again,” Alice saidWest took a step forward.“That - That is my fucking wife. Lolardo, a Mafia leader screamed out.The blood in Wes’s veins turned cold. He turned toward the screen. He watched in horror as the video that was showing displayed the woman's face. He watched the videos changing one after the other. Revealing every woman he had ever slept with. Showing in detail how he made love to them. People stared astonished at the screen.“I am so glad you told me to be here Alice,” Jackson said as he clinked his glass against hers.Wes stood frozen. His eyes darted around the room at the husbands of each wife he slept with. He glanced at the door but the leader's men already blocked them.Wes turned to Alice. She smirked at him showing him she enjoys every moment. This was the only time he ever saw her smile at him. If you would call that one.Alice slowly walked up to him.“I am not done yet. This is only the beginning.” She turned around and walked out of the reception hall.Related chapters

Kevin’s eyes followed Alice’s every move. He caught a glimpse of her eyes. Her eyes used to shine full of light. He remembered how they used to sparkle when she twirled around and laughed. Her laughter. Oh, how he missed that sound. He remembers her torn expression when they had to part ways. Her body shook against his as she hugged him and softly cried, saying their last goodbyes. He never saw her again, until today. He kept the promise he made her, but he had a feeling things were not going to be as simple as he thought.“You grew up, Alice. Your not the innocent girl you once were.” Kevin whispered to himselfHe smirked as he watched how she handled Wes."Sir, shouldn’t we follow her?" Nico, Kevin’s right-hand man asked“No,”“NO? We are just going to let her leave?”"Yes, It's not time yet."“O- kay,”"I would love to stay and watch the show, but I have things to do." Kevin patted Nico on the back. "Come on, let's go!"“Why are we leaving now? We are missing the best part!" Nico c

"You overrate my capacity of love. I don't possess half the warmth of nature you believe me to have. An unprotected childhood in a cold world has beaten gentleness out of me."by, Thomas Hardy"GET OUT," Alice screamed then stared out of the window.Her right hand started to tremble. She stops it by placing her left hand on top of it.Oliver nodded and climbed out. Alice watched Khan taking two steps at a time as he sprinted down the steps towards her car. He climbed into the driver's seat and sped off.Alice looked at the ocean as they drove along the shore. The car came to a stop. Khan leaned his seat back and closed his eyes. Alice waited a second. It has been a long time since she came back to this place. She inhaled and climbed out of the car. The fresh sea wind whisked across her face blowing the daisies that were still in her hair with it. She took her shoes off and continue to walk barefoot. In front of her was a long cement pier. She walked until she reached the end of the pi

Kevin read through an important report. He heard the door to his office open.“Didn’t I tell you not to bother me?” Kevin asked annoyed without looking up.“No, you did not!” She said as she walked toward his table and sat in the chair opposite him. Her feet automatically went on to the table.“Feet off!”"Why so grumpy today? Didn’t you miss me? I came here straight from the airport.”Kevin looked up. His facial expression softend when he saw her.“Hello, brother!” She said with a smileHe stood up and walked around the desk. She giggled when he hugged her.He pulled back looking from top to bottom.“Welcome back Maisie! You look good.”Maisie Rodriquez. Age twenty. Kevin’s younger sister.She playfully hit his shoulder.“You better not say I got fat!”He chuckled as he sat on the edge of the table in front of her.“I was talking about your clothes. I gather this is one of your new designs?”She twirled around. “What do you think?” She asks with excitement.He tilted his head left an

Alice’s eyes moved to the guy sitting a table away from the girl. He kept looking her way. Alice tilted her head.“What are you looking at?” Khan asked as his eyes followed hers.” He sighed, “Yeah, I also noticed it when she came in. Looks like he has been following her for a while”“Yeah. I saw that too. Can I please?” Alice askedKhan narrowed his eyes at her. “You know I don’t get you. You hate this type of work but when you can teach someone like him a thing or two” He motioned with his chin toward the guy. “You look like a child in a candy store.”“Yeah well, I like fighting. You like shooting. People like different things, and guys like that. You and I both know what he has in mind for her.”He sighed. “We will see this as your warmup.”Alice smiled triumphantly. She slowly stood up and walked to the guy and sat down in the chair opposite him.“Hey there.” Alice greeted“Get lost. I am working.”“Yeah, I noticed. You wanna play?”“What?” The guy asked“Hey, Franky.”Alice tilted

The door opened to Alice’s office. Alice looked up from her laptop and noticed Khan walking towards her.“Morning, Khan,”“Alice.”“What happened?” Alice asked"The shareholders of LLC Corporation have moved the meeting to tomorrow, they need the product sooner."Alice's frown deepened as she tapped her pencil on the table"Then I guess we are going to London.”“Not we, you are.”“Okay? And why is that?” Alice asked“Adriano wants me to stay behind. He wants you to go alone.”“Why does he need you here?”Khan narrowed his eyes at her, “Alice, do you want me to question him?”Alice bit the side of her lip.“Fine.” You can leave if there is nothing else.Khan stared at her for a moment before he stood up and walked away. As he walked out he slammed the door behind him.Alice stared at the door deep in thought.“Something about this trip doesn’t feel right,” Alice whispered.~~~London~~~Alice looked down at her phone as she walked out of the airport dragging her suitcase behind her.“So

“Bang.”His eyes widened. His finger loosens its grip on the gun letting it fall to the ground. Alice's eyes widened as she watched him fall to his knees. The blood poured out from his forehead down his face. Adrenaline rushed through her veins as she crawled backward away from him. His lifeless body fell forward next to Alice. Alice held her breath. Through the screaming and police sirens, Alice, heard the sound of boots pacing toward her.“Alice!”A familiar voice she heard before calling out to her. Alice stared in the direction of the voice, but her blurry vision made it difficult for her to see the man’s face. She closed her eyes and opened them again trying to regain her focus.“KEVIN?” She called out in a hoarse voice. She tried lifting her body only to fall backward again, she saw the figure approaching her, “Finally” she muttered then lost consciousness.‘When we think we finally have everything in our control. Life comes and knocks our feet right from underneath us, showing

“What did you say?” Nico asked from behind.Kevin bowed his head as he closed his eyes. “She is gone.”“She is gone?” Nico asked then rushed past Kevin into the room. He looked frantically around the room and then rushed toward the window.“She is gone,” Nico said as if he was trying to convince himself.He leaned over the window and looked down. “Wow, she is quite something. How did she get down two floors?”“Nico stop looking, she will be gone by now.”Nico turned and looked at Kevin stunned. “She has been shot in both shoulders and her leg. How can she possibly climb down?”Nico looked around the room. He walked to the bed and looked underneath.“We need to get her back. They will kill her if they get her again.” Kevin said,After Kevin had found Alice, he sent word out to his men to keep tabs on her. Kevin had received word that two groups were sent to kill her. He still was not sure who, but when he received the information, he dropped everything and flew directly to London. His

“Hey, Tess,”“Maisie? Please tell me you are back.”“I am back!!!” Maisie sang over the phone.“AHHHHHH!” Tess screamed which made Maisie hold the phone away from her ear.“You want to go to Club La Vita tonight?” Maisie asked.“Hell yeah! I am down on getting smashed tonight!”“Yeah! Will you inform the rest of the girls? Oh, and should I come and pick you up?”“Yes, I will let them know. They are going to be thrilled, and yes, please. I think it is best. I don’t want to total my car tonight. My dad will kill me.”“Then it’s settled. How late should I come and pick you up?”“How about past ten?”“Okay, I will see you then. Bye.” Maisie ended the call.The girls were a total of six. Tess walked in front swaying her hips. The black mini dress barely covered her bum.Tess trailed her finger around the bouncer.“Hello Ivan, have you missed me?”Ivan smiled at Tess as she was circling him.“Always,”He opened the red rope.“Ladies” Ivan motioned with his hand for them to enter.Maisie was

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
Two Worlds Apart Chapter 33
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

“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

‘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
