Rogue
Alex entered the room and saw two men who had already been beaten badly. He turned towards Callum, who was beside him, and asked, “Any progress?”
“They’re not ready to talk. It seems like they had a covenant not to say a word or anything.” Callum said. They’ve been capturing the rogues for a long time. After all the torture, they still didn’t confess who their boss was.
Alex stared at the men in silence before sauntering towards one whose head was face down, blood dripping all over his face. Someone brought him a chair, and he sat down in front of the man elegantly.
“Who sent you?” Alex asked with an expressionless face.
The man raised his head and shivered from the dark aura emanating from him. “No one, please. please, spare me.” The man begged, tears dripping out of his eyes.
Alex smirked before asking, “Spare?!” Oh, don’t worry, I know how to do that. He said, standing up from the chair, he walked towards a table and took a cold metal. He also took some bullets and loaded them into the gun.
“Alex! What are you doing?!” Callum asked, moving towards him to stop him before he killed them.
“Step back!” He said to Callum. He turned to the men and said, “I’m sure you know what this can do to wolves like you, but I won’t kill you with it. Killing you is too easy. I will make you go through the worst pain of your miserable lives.” He said this before cocking his gun in an attempt to shoot them.
He was about to pull the trigger when suddenly the other guy screamed. “He has never revealed his face before. No one knows who he is or what he is. Please spare us; don’t kill us. We don’t know who he is; he covers his face every time.” The guy said in tears.
“Alex,” Callum said, moving towards him to collect the gun. He finally calmed down when he collected the gun from him.
Alex looked at the men one last time before saying, “Cut off their fingers and keep them here till I think of what to do to them.”
He walked out of the room. He knew how those rogues had been going around killing innocent lives. They’ve been looking for a way to stop them, but none of them seems to know who their boss is. Even the ones they’ve captured before haven’t seen who their leader is.
“Hey! Alex, wait up.” Callum said, running towards him before he could enter the car. “Would you have killed him if he hadn’t talked?”
“What do you expect?” Alex asked back instead of answering.
“That’s what all of them keep saying. They don’t know who their leader is,” Callum said.
“If it’s true that they’ve never seen his face before, then it means it’s someone we all know, probably someone in the pack.” Alex said.
“You’re right,” Callum said, wondering who it might be in the pack.
“Keep an eye on them. Let’s have this discussion later.” Alex said, opening the door to his car to leave, but stopped when he heard Callum ask.
“Wait. What about Ms. Jones?” Callum asked, grabbing his arm to stop him from entering the car.
“What about her?” He asked instead of answering; he wondered why he was asking about Ellie despite the situation at hand.
“Nothing; I was just asking about her. Does Maya like her?”
“So you were the one who told Maya; I never knew your mouth had become a basket.” He said with no expression on his face; he knew his sister didn’t come to his house that much, which made him know that she must have suspected that something was going on, but he didn’t think that Callum could tell her.
“Hey. Don’t say that. She kept pestering me about what you were hiding, and I had no choice but to tell her.” He said, rubbing the back of his head with his hands.
“Then go pester her to give you the answer.” He said he was not waiting for him to talk before he entered his car.
After Ellie finished work, she was so happy she didn’t have to eat dinner with Alex.
She called Jasmine to let her know she would be coming to her house. She left the company and entered her private car, which Alex got for her.
“Ma’am, the boss won’t like it if I don’t take you home.” The driver said, when Ellie told him to take another direction from the mansion.
“You don’t have to worry. I just want to see a friend. It won’t take long.” She assured him.
The car stopped in front of Jasmine’s apartment. She got down and assured the man before she went into the house.
She knocked on the door and entered when she heard her say, “Come in.”
“Ellie! Where have you been since?! I came to your house, but I didn’t see you. I even tried calling you, but you were not responding.” Jasmine said before hugging her and directing her to sit on the chair.
“I’m sorry for not informing you. I’ve been living in Alex’s house; I mean, Mr. Warren.” She explained.
Mr Warren?! Like Warren Corporation? She asked with a surprised expression. “What about the pregnancy?!”
“Calm down; I’ll explain everything.” Ellie said.
She explained everything to her, starting from the contract to living in his house. She also told her how he got her a chauffeur.
They talked for some time before Ellie finally bid her goodbye and went home. She felt like she had never felt any happiness like she was feeling when talking to her.
When she got home, she noticed that the whole house was silent, and she did not see Alex’s car outside, which made her guess that he wasn’t back.
She was about to climb the stairs when she heard a voice asking from behind. “Where are you coming from?”
“Oh my goodness! You startled me.” She said, touching her chest to ease her racing heartbeat.
“Why should you be startled? Did you do something wrong?” He asked, folding his arms in front of her.
She noticed that he was wearing a robe, which opened his chest a little, and his hair looked damp, which made her guess that he had taken a shower before coming downstairs.
“I did nothing wrong.” She said, looking away from him. She was about to take a step forward to go to her room when she heard. “You haven’t answered my question yet, bunny.”
She was so angry when she heard what he called her, but she managed to look back at him with a crooked smile. “I went to see a friend.”
“Who?” He asked. Her chauffeur had already told him who she went to see, but he just wanted to tease her and hear it from her.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“It’s none of your business,” she said to him. She saw how his expression had changed from calm to something she couldn’t explain.
