Alex got home and headed to his room straight to take a shower but something seems unusual , not even Lydia and her minions are seen around gossiping or not just one of them to come get his bag , he shoved of the feeling and got to his room to get a cool shower .
Karen on the other side is sitting on her bed finding it hard to shove of the unusual feeling of the dream .
<<< underground house unknown location >>>
"Boss ! Boss !" one of the men on the system called out .
"Spill it ." the boss demanded .
"Our goods got cornered by the Russian dragon and our men on the coast and the ones on guard were wiped out ." he said in panic .
"Shit! What the fuck?! , lewis is going to far ." he said with a devilish glint
"Call red spider , we got to talk ." he completed
"Yes boss."
<<< Marco's investment>>>
Marco just came back from his business trip and he headed straight to the office to check the state of things .
"Good morning sir ." everyone greeted as he entered and head to the elevator and he waved them back with a broad smile . he went to the managers' office and he was having a meeting with the secretary as usual .
"Good morning boss " they both chorused as they stood up .
"Good morning barb and tom ." he flashed them a cute smile .
" how is everything going ? Was there any complaint while I was gone ?."
"Not really , some .... Mr Alex came here to see you but with the look of things he was looking like he has a fight with you . is everything okay ?."
"Yh , it is . he hasn't matured yet , think he's having a taste of his own medicine ." he grinned and left for his office.
<<< 6:00pm,Moscow Russia >>>
Erik just left office and was his way to the bar when a call came in and he picked it and connected it to the cars' screenplay .
"Hey , what's up man ?." He greeted .
"Nigga , we cool."
"So , what's the problem ?."
"Ain't you coming to the compound tonight?."
"Not sure."
" you know tonight is Nikolai's burial, I think you gotta be there between what of Manuel?."
"Dude's is out of the country ."
" woah ."
" yh, its personal so he won't be attending Nikolai's night, I'll come by for sure , just gotta have some few shots at the bar ."
"Take it easy with the women."
"I know,right ?."he laughed and the call ended.

Manuel was sitting on the couch handling his laptop dealing with some office files, tho he isn't present there physically but he's still working not like he was a giving a leave . they can't do with out him . just then his phone pinged, it was a message from Erik ." dude its Nikolai's night , painful you won't be around ." he read and sighed dropping his phone and getting the water bottle beside him gulping in all the content at once .
He sighed then rested on the couch closing his eyes , his been in lotta shits this days . its so hard to go through.
<<<4:00pm Alex's mansion >>>
Alex had a nap for two hours and now he's awake, he headed downstairs for food and the fridge is the only available medium and what is remaining inside is not giving. He called ma'am Emily to send the girls to get some stuffs with his card and also she should prepare him something and Karen should serve him herself.
<<
Karen was laying on the bed like a rejected sacrifice . she looks dejected and tattered, her hair is disheveled and her clothes are rumpled , her eyes her red and her appearance was just to worry about . she had cried and over think and right know she doesn't know what's next to do . she was still revolving around her calamity when ma'am Emily came in .
"Karen, are you okay ?." She asked worriedly .
"Yes I'm fine ." Karen smiled horribly .
"No you're not, I've been watching you these days you've been acting up or behaving insecure , what's the problem?."
" talk to me, you know....."
"I said I'm fine ." she shunned.
"OK, get ready young master ordered you to bring his food to him ." she said .
"Why?."
"I don't know , but be fast he doesn't like delays ." with that she left the room.
Wait is he kidding me? Am I his maid? What the hell is wrong with him ? He's just driving me nuts, he's so frustrating . she hissed and dragged herself to the bathroom .
<<
Karen was done with her bath and she came down to get Alex's food like he ordered . the food has already been dished and placed on a tray. Why can't he come eat it at the dining?. she complained again and ma'am Emily came out of the kitchen .
" oh you're here, first you greet him when you get there ."
"OK"
"And also,you must have a bite before he can eat it ."she concluded and Karen nodded .
She took the food and went upstairs on getting to his door, she placed a soft knock but there was no answer , she knocked again but it still the same , she knocked for the last time but she got no reply , she turned around to get going just then the door flew open revealing Alex with just a towel tied around his hips and his hair dripping wet on his chest , his chest is broad and attracting , she stared at him foolishly not able to take her eyes of him.
