Alice felt her phone vibrating in her purse. She sighed, as she saw the caller id,“Hello?”“Alice, are you back from London?” Wes enquired.“Yes, I am heading home as we speak.”“Meet me at the restaurant around the corner from my company.” Wes ended the callAlice glared at the sorry of an excuse, fiancé sitting in front of her.Wes stared daringly back into Alice's eyes.“I do not think you are capable of loving anyone. I am your fiancé. Why can’t you show me any affection?”Alice leaned back in her chair. She looked down at her fingernails and moved her eyes back to him.“This is a business transaction, Wes. You knew that from the start. Do you think I am not aware of the affection you received from other women? I always thought their affection was enough.”Wes glared at Alice, ignoring her words,“If you think I will enter this marriage with you, you must be dreaming. This engagement is off!”Wes did not wait on her response and stood up, straighten his tie, and turned to walk aw

Techno Corporation“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

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

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.

“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.
