Alex's POV
I went downstairs to the hotel lounge and met some of the surgeons there.
Doctor Oliver Gonzalez, the surgeon Jasmine and I met yesterday was there too.
"Doctor Alex" Oliver called immediately I entered the lounge.
"We were just talking about you, tell us how you managed to successfully perform the brain tumor surgery on a sickle cell anemia patient" he said.
I spent some time with the surgeons in the lounge discussing about our medical experiences.
I got tired and I excused myself to go to my room since we'll be a having a party soon.
I was going to my room when Emma walked up to me.
"You seem to be getting along with the other surgeons quite well" she said.
"Well, this isn't my first time attending this gathering so I am familiar with some of them" I said.
"Still, you shouldn't get carried away by mingling around with them, you have an ambition, a target and until you achieve that, you can't afford to have fun around" she said and walked away and I just couldn't stop staring at her.
There's something about her. Something I am yet to figure out.
Jasmine's POV
I sat in front of the mirror in my room after wearing my long red dress.
It's already time for the party and I just want to apply a little make-up.
I powdered my face lightly and applied a pink lipstick.
The gown has a slit up to the knee so heels will be perfect for it so I wore my black heels.
"If you don't come out in the next minute I'll leave for the party without you" Alex yelled from the sitting room.
"Do not leave without me, I'll be there in a minute" I replied.
I took my phone and purse and quickly walked out of the room.
Alex was sitting in the couch and he was already dressed up.
Gosh, how could a guy be so handsome.
The red suit suites him perfectly. And with the way he styled his hair backwards, wow, he looks so breathtaking.
"How do I look?" I asked as I finally managed to stop the awkward thoughts I was having.
Alex didn't answer me, he just kept staring at me.
"Is there something on my face?" I asked.
"What? No no, I just..... Let's go" he said as he quickly walked out and I followed him.
"Wait for me, I can't run in this heels" I said from behind and he slowed down.
We climbed down the stairs and went to the hotel hall where the party was holding.
"You too totally look like a couple" Doctor Oliver said as we entered the hall.
Okay, when they said party, I was so excited that I was gonna have some fun dance like crazy but this is so not what I expected.
No one is even dancing, everyone is just standing around with a cup of drink and talking and there's a long slow moody music that was being played.
I guess what all Neurosurgeons know is how to operate and talk about surgeries, they have no idea on how to organize a booming party.
I was starting to get very bored so I left Alex and went outside the hotel to get some fresh air.
"I almost died of boredom there, ahhh this feels so good" I said as the breeze blew across my face.
"What's such a pretty lady doing outside alone when a party is going on inside" someone said and I turned to see Ryan.
"Thought I told you to stay away from me" I said.
"Well I couldn't just ignore such a pretty lady" he said and I scoffed.
"I'd like it if you ignore me cause am so not comfortable with your presence Mr Ryan."
"I can't ignore you" he said.
"Why?"
"I told you before, I can't ignore such a pretty lady" he said and I laughed.
"Why don't we go have some fun" he said.
"What? Why will I have some fun with you?"
"I never said you had a choice" he said as he quickly plunge an injection on me and I slowly loosed consciousness.
I slowly opened my eyes and I felt nauseous.
What happened?
My neck feels so sore.
I'm in a car and someone's driving
"Are you finally awake?" Someone asked beside me.
"Ryan! What did you do to me, I feel so dizzy."
"Just a shot of flunitrazepan and it knocked you out, you are going to continue feeling dizzy and weak till the drug wears off from your system" he said.
"What's the meaning of this" I tried to yell but my voice only came out weakly.
I have no strength at all
"I just want to have fun" he said.
"Then get someone else to have fun with" I tried to say in loud voice again but I couldn't.
"Stop trying to shout, the harder you try, the weaker you get."
"What the hell do you want from me?" I asked.
"I told you this morning, leave Alex and come to me, be my assistant" he said and I scoffed.
"Impossible, I rather die than work for an asshole like you" I said.
"Do you know the Pedra da Gavea?" He asked and I kept quiet.
"It's a cliff, a very high cliff here in Rio, it's more than 2500ft high such that if anyone falls down from it, there's no chance of surviving."
"Why are you telling me this?" I asked.
"I'm just granting your wish, you said you'll rather die than work for me so am taking you to your death, we'll be at the cliff in a minute tops" he said as he drove faster
"Let me down Ryan, am going to file a case against you to the police."
"You can't file a case if you are dead, can you?" He said and then laughed.
"You are a disgrace to all doctors."
I tried to open the door and it was locked.
"Let me down Ryan, please" I begged but he didn't answer me.
We got to the cliff and Ryan stopped the car.
He got out of the car and I quickly opened the door too and tried to run but I was too weak, I had no strength at all and I only ended up falling down.
"I told you to stop struggling, it will only get you weaker" he said as he caught me by the arm and dragged me to the edge of the cliff!
"You can't do this Ryan, you don't want to become a murderer" I said.
"Am only a murderer if I'm caught, I can easily cover all this up" he said.
"Please Ryan please, don't do this please" I begged as tears rolled down my eyes
I thought I was strong but am so scared right now, I don't want to die.
Ryan's POV
I took my phone from my pocket while still holding Jasmine's arm with my other hand.
I dialled Alex's number and he picked it up.
🗨️ Hello
"You sound so cool and relaxed for someone that's about to get tensed up" I said.
🗨️ "Ryan! Why the hell are you calling me."
"Thought you might want to speak with someone here" I said as I took the phone closer to Jasmine.
"Please save me Alex, this psycho wants to kill me, he's gonna push me off the cliff, please save me am so scared" Jasmine cried and I shook my head.
"This is so touching."
🗨️ "What the hell are you trying to do?" Alex yelled.
"Calm down Alex, or I might just loose my temper and push her off the cliff."
🗨️ "Why are you doing this? I am your enemy not Jasmine, why are you involving her in all this?"
"Cause it's fun, and I told you I came here to have fun, come find us in the next ten minutes, or I may just push Jasmine off the cliff of you keep me waiting for too long."
🗨️ "Where are you guys?" He asked and Jasmine wanted to tell him.
"Say a word and I'll push you of this cliff right now."
🗨️ "Hello, where the hell are you guys?" Alex yelled.
"It's no fun if I just tell you, find us yourself" I said and ended the call.
I am so enjoying this
This is gonna be fun.
