Tension In a Room
The tension in the small room increased and Sam squeezed his fists tight, he was certain that Elena was bluffing, there was no way he’d even use Emily’s life to guess if Elena was being serious or not. Elena’s unrecognizable guard came forward and removed the sack cloth from Emily’s head allowing the smell of debris to hit her nostrils. The first person she saw was Sam, and she immediately knew what was happening, for a moment there; she wasn’t entirely awake till the guard removed the sack cloth. Emily tried getting up from the chair only to discover she had been tied to it, she looked back and shivered when she saw Elena, she knew who Elena Cole was; how wouldn’t she, after working for Ethan for five years. Emily had never liked Elena even in previous years, although it was part of the fact that Elena was always thinking she’d try and seduce or steal her husband, there was a time Elena even threatened her. “You’ll be fine, Em. Just stay calm,” Sam assured her when he noticed he
Blood and Guns
(Meanwhile….)Derek paced the room back and forth, it was the same room they always had their meetings; Jonathan was also there, occupying one of the dining chairs the room had while he sipped a beer. Elena had told them to wait in the room, if Sam agreed to transfer the ownership of Ethan’s corporation she’d give them a call so the next process would be done, but however, it was almost two hours now and there hadn’t been any call from Elena. Derek was starting to run out of patience, and he was getting uncomfortable with all of these acts, Jonathan had been compromised, if Elena didn’t get the right answer from Sam, she’d also be compromised, which means; one day, Sam would expose them to the police for threat and for killing his ex personal assistant. Derek knew that Sam would have been told that Jonathan was in with them, and he was the one behind all these threats. If Elena’s approach didn’t work, he would be in a mess. “Take a chill, Derek, don’t you trust your mother?” Jonat
Tears Like Raindrops
(Somewhere in Between) “Drive a little faster, Shawn,” Clinton frowned, he was sitting in the front of one the Landrovers that his security team uses for operations. Sam had tapped the button some few minutes ago and he had to get there as soon as possible. He had been investigating the case of Jonathan for a while now without finding anything suspicious apart from the fact that Jonathan was always visiting Derek, and Elena also. That alone was enough to deduce that something was going on, but he couldn’t just jump into conclusions that Jonathan and Elena was plotting to take Ethan’s corporation from Sam and give it to Derek. It was something so obvious since it was the same thing Elena and Derek wants to do, but doing it in such a way was what Clinton was finding hard to believe. “We would be there in fifteen to twenty sir, no matter how fast I drive,” the driver responded but he also increased his speed as instructed. Clinton nodded, and continued staring at the road, luckily
Traumatized
Clinton froze for a few seconds staring at Sam with a stunned look, and his mouth agape; he slowly glanced around the room and his eyes met with Elena lying in a pool of blood beside the chair Emily was tied to, she also looked like she was dead. “Emily too?” Clinton gasped, walking over to the scene, he couldn’t believe his eyes, what the fuck happened here? He thought. “No, no; Emily’s probably fine, she passed out due to fear, I need to get her to the hospital, but I just needed to wait for you to come,” Sam looked at his unconscious fiancée, admiring her even though she looked lifeless.Her red hair had covered most of her face, he sighed; if it wasn’t for Smith, he’d have been dead by now. He owed his life to him now, but it seemed what Smith’s first murder had traumatized him. Clinton squatted beside Elena’s dead body, just like Sam, he didn’t like Elena but he never wished for her to die, seeing her in a pool of blood broke his heart, not exactly because of who she was, but
Elena is Dead
The thought of that dawned on Sam, and he realized how effective it would be on Ethan considering his underlying illness, he didn’t even think about it until Clinton mentioned it. “Oh my God! I never even thought of that,” Sam brushed through his hair with his right hand in frustration, his head was so full with so much thought and this wasn’t part of it. “Ethan’s illness is already an issue, if we tell him Elena’s dead, it’d be a big blow to him, then if we add that Derek and Jonathan were actually working together and might be arrested, that would finish the job. He might get a heart attack,” Clinton frowned, not at Sam but at the delicate nature of the situation. “There’s only one way out of this, and I think it’s going to work,” Sam sighed, glancing at Emily, she needed immediate medical attention and he was still here. Well, Ethan meant a lot to him too. Clinton focused his gaze on Sam, anxious to hear the idea he had; the help would really go a long way if it was worth it,
The Request
“What the hell did….?” Ariana’s voice was so loud until Clinton cut her short by holding her mouth, he glanced back at the door to Ethan’s room, after a few seconds; he released his hands from her mouth and placed both of his hands on her shoulder. “You have to calm down, Ariana, or else, we might have another casualty immediately,” Clinton whispered, his eyes fixated on Ariana’s. She was looking so scared and he could feel her body tremble, tears had started to fill her tear ducts, she already understood what was going on and why Clinton didn’t want Ethan to find out. “I’m so sorry, Ariana, but what I said earlier is the truth, I really wish I had got there more earlier,” Clinton tried to console her, he still felt some guilt in him for Elena’s death, even though he never really liked her. “What happened, Clinton, how did my mother die?” Ariana held her mouth, trying to suppress the sound of her tears. If Ethan heard about this, he might have heart failure; Clinton’s approach wa
Wait till it gets to you.
“No, he isn’t, but he would get to know, this is a peculiar mess and we know it’d affect everyone but we have to consider the person it would affect the most and that’s Ethan.” Clinton answered, Sam was the one who’d reveal the death of Elena to both Derek and Jonathan, he’s in the right position to do it. Although it is quite chaotic, it would allow Derek to see that life could come at you so fast. Ariana wanted to burst out into another set of tears, but she forced it back and swallowed. Her mother just died and her job was to relay the message to her dad, why was she getting the delicate jobs; if something happens to Ethan by mistake, wouldn’t she be the one that they’d blame? Ariana thought. “I’m not so sure about this, Clinton, despite their differences; Ethan loves Elena so much and if he hears about her death, it might cause harm to him, especially with his underlying health issues,” “That is exactly why we need you, Ariana. You’re the one who's closer to Ethan, you’d have
If Walls Could Talk
Derek stepped out of the vehicle slowly, gazing at Clinton with so much suspicion; no one except he and Jonathan knew about the location that Elena was, then how the hell did Clinton know about Elena? That was Derek’s first surprise, but that wasn’t all, now that it seemed like something was going on in the location where Elena was, he also had information about that. It was obviously concluded that Elena had been discovered, Derek thought, closing the door to his vehicle carefully. “Let’s go in, Derek. What I’m about to tell you is very important,” Clinton didn’t wait for approval, he started walking towards Derek’s mansion as soon as he finished talking. Derek glanced at Jonathan and then at Clinton again who was already close to the front door of his house. What exactly was going on? Derek was utterly confused and he was being killed with uttermost suspense. “We need to hear him out, Derek. Clinton doesn’t joke around, but you and I know that for Clinton to have information ab
