#Shawn p.o.v#
I was checking through the RIGs company's request for a loan, in my office, when I heard a faint distant crash and a car's alarm wailing. I stopped what I was doing at that moment wondering where the noise was coming from. The last time I checked, I lived about four miles away from any civilization and there haven't been any desperate tourists lurking on my property after the last incident that occurred, so where could the crashing noise be coming from?.
I became enraged thinking intruders entered my territory and passed security systems or Ardon and his mates were drunk shooting something undoubtedly expensive, and in a worst-case scenario, they are tearing down my house... again!. They better wish it's neither of them cause, I will kill them and hang their bodies under a cliff. Many, many times I have warned them, no- threatened them several times 'NEVER DRINK IN MY DAMN HOUSE!' those idiots will never listen until I give them a taste of my wrath.
Fast footsteps scurried outside my office and Cecelia enters. Cecelia has been my father's maid for three years before he handed her over to me with strict conditions I must meet in order to keep my wealth.
"Yes sir." She spoke politely bowing her head low to me.
"Get me the laptop that has all the CCTV cameras installations." I commanded.
"Right away sir." She bowed again and left. It's high time I did the looking myself and not involve those drunken fools.
I waited impatiently for the laptop to arrive as the crashing noise outside increased by the minute causing me to tense up a little. 'Why is she taking so long?' it felt like forever waiting for slow Cecelia to arrive with my humble laptop.
'but seriously, where in the world are those Damned dumb ass guards I hired?' now I come to think of it, didn't they hear all the noise?. From my office deep inside my mansion, I can hear it.
Where are they when you need those so-called security team my dad assigned here? I've told that old man we should change the guards they are slow and stupid but the stubborn old man refuses.
"What in the world is going on out there?" I picked up the telephone and called the headgates. He thought I was going to be nice but hell- NO! I AM NOT NICE NOW!!!.
"Mr Ramirez, we have no idea but I have sent some people to take a look." Peter, my security commander answered.
"Take a look? I have been in my office listening to this noise, what do you think I am paying you for- huh?" I question. "Sit around smoking marijuana and leaving my gates open for my enemies to finish me off!"
"I am sorry sir I-"
I cut him off.
"You better find out what's going on out there and deal with it or I'll deal with you all, my own way. I promise you that my dark side isn't something you want to see." I threatened.
"No… no… no, no, sir." I heard him stutter in fear and it satisfied my insides.
"You better don't provoke it then." I told him and hung up. I heard a knock on my door and I snapped. "What!!!"
"I brought the laptop Mr Ramirez." I heard Cecelia's voice from the door.
"Come in." I grumbled without a choice. She entered and strolled to my desk setting the laptop in front of me and I muttered a 'you may go' to her and she left closing the door behind her.
I opened the laptop and clicked on the CCTV camera recordings 'live' showing the kitchen, backyard, dining room, halls, hallway, and some of the bedrooms also containing cameras for any suspicious activity by guests, everything looks fine, and all the servants and workers were busy with their daily duties. Nothing out of the ordinary… but where was that sound coming from?. To answer my question I decided to check the rest of the house and surroundings, from the swimming pool to the gazebo then the trees to the… wait a minute-
The tree camera! I picked up a movement from a tree about four feet away from the tree camera, it looked like a little girl but when the figure moved towards the left I knew it wasn't a little girl but a redhead young girl (what in the world brought her to my home?, she must be a crack head to dare enter my territory unnoticed). I wasn't sure of her identity since she was not looking up at the camera but I have a feeling she is someone I knew.
She walked out of the frame and I switched to the camera B by the gate to have a closer look. I watched her cautiously entering my compound and stopped briefly as if waiting for someone to come out then continued moving she looked startled and looked up to the tree where the camera was hidden, so I switched to the tree camera that was in form of a crow so I can control it. She looked at it for like two seconds before rolling her eyes and continued walking. Yeah, no one can guess that is a camera.
Those eyes look familiar, I think I have seen those beautiful eyes somewhere but the mask she used to cover her nose and mouth prevented me from seeing her face, and the distance she stood proved difficult. I checked the nearest camera which was the outside garage camera and saw her walking up to it but she could not open it because it cannot be accessed without a code, I laughed. She started pacing all around in distress, but the opening of the garage door had her scurrying like a lost cause which I found weirdly adorable. "What the hell!".
She sneaked into the garage after Martha and I left. "Wow! I never pecked her to be smart but that move was smart. Sneaking into the property without my knowledge or the notice of my guards, real smart." I am quite impressed, but still shocked at how she found my address.
I turned on the night vision cameras used to monitor activities in the garage since I always leave it to be a bit dark. She walks passed my expensive car collections, using a phone in her hand as a light guide she kept on walking then stopped in front of my special cars among the rest 'I hope she's not going to do want am thinking she going to do' I thought. The dark red car with peach seats is my most prized it was specially made for me for my birthday and the other one was just a bulletproofed car.
I saw her pointing at both cars trying to pick out one from the two. that's when I noticed a bat in her hands and my heart nearly dropped. "Please don't smash my cars." I prayed internally even though I know the damage has been done already.
Smash!
She smashed my bulletproof car and I felt my blood boil. I watched her repeatedly damage my car and I could do nothing, and my dull guards didn't even notice the commotion she was causing right now. What could I have done to offend her that she risked coming here just to destroy my car? I switched to the garage door camera hoping to see her face then I will make her regret what she has done.
She left the damaged car realizing the alarm will call attention to the garage and she runs away from sight. In the process of looking for the exit button, her face came into view for a second when she looked straight at the camera before sliding out the door. I became more pissed Knowing the crazy fellow damaging my property was no other person than the hot head red hair girl from school. 'ohhh- that crazy woman has no idea what she just did. That door could have dangerously crushed her or hurt her fatally, and my men would have killed her!'.
Now I am more pissed at myself for caring about her safety than the damage she left behind.
I watched her escape from every camera angle around the mansion till she zoom off in her car. A part of me admires her bravery but most part of me is super, duper, mega pissed. She has no idea who she's dealing with and I am going to show her no mercy and make her life a living hell. Just the right deal I needed to get my revenge on her.
After a heavy shootout carried out by my men I called them with one instruction.
"Don't follow, she's mine now."
I have waited for this moment since she started schooling at my dad's college and I am not gonna miss it for anything.
You are gonna regret this red.
