What To Do?
ERIC’S POV
These few days without Rayne made my soul empty. The house felt weird without her presence.
I got ready for work like always these few days. The daily routine has been the same.
I got into my car and zoomed off to work.
I got to my office after about an hour of driving. I dropped my briefcase on the chair beside mine and sat down.
I pressed a button on my desk and my secretary came running in.
“Sir, you called for me.” She said immediately she got in.
“Make me a cup of hot coffee.” I said and she nodded and walked out.
She got back five minutes later with a cup of coffee and dropped it on the table and left.
I opened my laptop and decided to go through the company we’ve closed deals with these few days.
My door opened all of a sudden and like I never expected Mr lawns walked in. this time alone.
“What does he want this time.” I thought.
“What are you doing here.” I asked sternly.
“That is no way of greeting your father boy.” he said as he sat down and lit up his cigarettes.
“That doesn’t answer my question.” I said while staring daggers at him.
“I’m impressed.” he started.
“For how long would you continue to protect a threat?” he asked.
“She’s my wife.” I replied to him sternly.
It’s high time he gets over his psychopathic behavior and realizes we’re talking about my own wife who I love dearly and I’m not going to let him try nonsense with her.
“She’s a threat, son.” he said slowly.
“You’re the threat and needs to be eliminated.” I said calmly.
How could he be so heartless not to even think about the trauma she might be facing for experiencing her parents die.
“She would bring down the reputation of our family.” He said.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“Not ours, just your reputation which you hold highly.” I said not giving him one bit of respect he had crossed the line the moment he made himself a threat to Rayne.
“What if she finds out that you have something to do with the death of her parents,” he said.
“What are you saying, I have nothing to do with that, that’s your problem.” I said.
“You think she would be satisfied that the man she is married to, his family has something to do with her parents death!”
“Quick correction, you’re not family to me, you stopped being related to me the day you left.” I said not wanting to remember that moment.
“You’re playing with fire, son, and you know what happens to children who play with fire, they get burnt
” He said and got up.
“Your security around her is too tight, I’ll wait for the perfect opportunity.” He said and walked to the door.
“Don’t ever come back here.” I stated making it clear and sound to him that I didn’t want him around.
“You’ll need me soon.” he said and walked out.
He was such a bag of trouble and a total disturbance of my peace.
I sat down trying to calm myself down.
I started going through the files again but I wasn’t concentrating.
I sighed and got up, I got to my private lodge after pressing my password in the wall it divided and made way for me to go in.
I got in and slumped on the bed. I was more than tired and I was Missing Rayne, I had promised not to call her so as not to interrupt her vacation but I did text her yesterday and she didn’t reply.
“Should I text her again?” I mentally asked myself.
I brought out my phone and started typing.
“Heyy are you alright?” I typed, I paused for a second and then deleted it.
“Arrrghhh.” I groaned angrily.
I took off my clothes and had a shower, I wanted to sleep the thoughts off.
I laid on the bed patiently waiting for sleep to come take over me.
And after what seemed like forever I finally fell asleep.
I woke up in Evening, and I guessed all the workers must have gone home by now.
I got dressed and walked out of the lodge, took my private elevator and got to the parking lot then zoomed off. I wasn’t going home directly, I wanted to cool off at my favorite bar.
It was located in a local area calm and relaxing.
I parked my car and got down.
And just like I expected the place was calm and they were only few people
It was a forty five minute drive but due to my speed I got there in less than thirty minutes.
I walked into the bar gently and sat at the other end where no one was.
A Petite girl walked up to me wearing an apron, she was holding a small note and a pen in her hands.
“What’s your order sir?” she asked as she got closer to me.
“OMG!!’ She gasped all of a sudden, immediately I raised my head up.
She seemed new and also looked like a teenager.
“Hi I’m Mira, I’m new here, omg you’re Erickson Arnold.” she said excitedly as she couldn’t hide her joy.
I couldn’t help but smile at her reaction.
“How come nobody told me he was this cute.” she said to herself but I heard her.
“Mira don’t act weird in front of a customer.” a middle aged lady said as she walked towards my table.
“Move aside.” The lady said as she stood in front of Mira.
“What should I get you sir.” the woman asked.
“As much vodka as you can get.” I replied to her and she nodded and walked out.
“I can see that you’ve got all the attention you’ve been wanting.” I heard someone say.
I didn’t bother to turn around to see who it was, I believed whoever it was would walk up to me.
“You succeeded in wooing Rayne over, you topping rank one, make all the girls crazy.” The person continued and I heard footsteps walking towards me.
My head was down cause u didn’t give a fuck about who was talking but when he mentioned Ryane, I was more than determined to know him.
I raised my head and beheld the least I had expected.
Fred was standing in front of me.
“Hello!!” He greeted me with a smile when I saw him.
What does this bastard want?
