Chapter 17 - 17

____________________________🌱

"Why the hell are you stalking me!" Damien yelled at the man who suddenly grabbed his phone while he was speaking to Irene.

It was the same man who had took him to Ethan's building.

Damien jerked his phone back from him.

They were on a busy street so people didn't really noticed what was going on.

His school is right by the corner of the street but he had stopped here to speak to Irene.

That issue had been bothering him and he's not someone to hide something from his sister.

Though he knows she's coming home for the weekend but he can't wait.

He knew he'll feel better after talking to her.

But then this man just appeared..

"Do not ever in your life interrupt my call again!" Damien yelled, pissed.

"Get into the car" The man ordered calmly.

"You must be insane to think I'll follow you like i did the other day. " Damien said regretting he followed the man the other day.

"Mind your words boy! It won't take me a second to break your wrist" The man threatened, looking around.

"And it won't take me a second to call the cops. Stay clear of me and my sister! " Damien gritted his teeth.

"We will if she quits that job" The man said.

"Well...she's not quitting that job! She will whenever she wants to" Damien said.

"Whatever! Boss Ethan said to come meet you one more time and confirm if you'll agree to convince your sister or he should carry out his threat"

"I'm not going to convince her, i won't even suggest it to her but tell your boss, a billionaire who behaves like a frustrated poor man. If he dares hurt my sister..."

"You'll call the cops?" The man mocked.

"Cops? Hell no! He definitely have the cops wrapped round his fingers but trust me when i say I'll kill everyone of you with my bare hands if anything should happen to Irene" Damien threatened.

"Really?" The man laughed mockingly.

"You think i can't do it. Then try me" Damien said.

"As i said earlier, i can break your wrist in a second" The man said.

"Ofcourse all foolish people knows best is to throw fist" Damien said.

He didn't know where he got the courage to speak from.

The words just kept flowing from his mouth.

"What!" The man looked pissed.

"What?" Damien asked. "Does that mean you're foolish, if you're not,then you won't be bothered by my words" Damien said.

"Shut up!" The man barked, looking more pissed.

"Don't take me for a fool cause i followed you the last time, i did that cause you mentioned my sister and that should tell you the length i can go for her. if you hurt her like i said earlier...then be prepared for me. I rarely give threats but once i do, i make sure i carry it out" Damien smiled, slipping his phone back in his pocket.

The man looked at him in awe, he never thought he was this bold.

They had all this he was a weak ass.

"And Guy! You should know life isn't about been bulky, if you go about threatening people with your build, you'll one day meet your match and you won't find it funny" Damien said glancing at his wristwatch.

"I should go to class now and if you're wise enough, you should relay my message to "your boss" " Damien said before walking away.

The man stared after him as he left.

"Woah!" He exclaimed.

What a psychopath!

*

Damien brought out his phone and quickly placed a call across Irene.

She had been ringing him while he was with that man and he had no choice but to keep rejecting the calls.

πŸ“žHey sis.

πŸ“žDam! Are you okay?" Irene asked and he could sense the worry in her voice.

πŸ“žYeah i am, i got interrupted.

πŸ“žBy what?

πŸ“žA large mouse" Damien laughed and Irene laughed at the other end too.

πŸ“žI'm glad you're fine, so you wanted to tell me something.

πŸ“žYeah but that'll be when you come home for the weekend, i have to go to class now"

πŸ“žOhh..okay, have a nice day.

πŸ“žAnd you too sis. I love you .

πŸ“žI love you more" Irene smiled before disconnecting the call.

She's glad he's okay, her heart had been in her throat when the call was suddenly interrupted.

"It's my brother" Irene laughed, after noticing Tom's curious look.

They were just arriving home and she can't wait to be out of Alex view.

"Ohh, you have a brother" Tom said.

"Yeah" Irene smiled.

Eric parked the car and they all alighted except Eric who moved to the car to the garage..

"See you later Irene" Tom said.

"Okay bye" Irene said and headed for the door.

She noticed Alex was following her and her heart skipped a beat but then she remembered he's one of the bodyguards meant to be inside the house .

They didn't speak to each other as they walked into the house .

Irene headed to the kitchen while Alex headed to wherever.

"Heyyo!" Irene said entering the kitchen.

"Holla!" Nola smiled, seeing Irene's back.

"I'm hungry" Irene said picking a plate.

She started dishing out her breakfast.

"Of course you should be. So how was the ride with the new bodyguard?" Nola asked.

"It was okay, even if no one spoke to one another in the car" Irene said, placing her meal on the table.

She walked to the fridge to grab a chilled bottle of water.

"Really?" Nola asked.

"Of course, it was so boring. Though i wouldn't even have joined in the conversation if he had attempted it." Irene shrugged.

"I can clearly see you don't like Alex." Nola noted.

"Maybe" Irene said, taking a seat opposite Nola.

"Why?" Nola asked.

"I don't know but...nevermind" Irene said.

"Alex is actually a good guy, you'll get to like him" Nola said.

"Uhmm" Irene said with her mouth full.

"Slow down with the food, it doesn't have legs" Nola said and Irene laughed.

"Alright" Irene said pouring herself some water.

"I'm just so glad you weren't hurt yesterday" Nola said.

Though Harold had said not to leak what happened to anyone but Nola is an exception.

Harold had narrated the incidence to her himself.

"It was a near-death experience, the shock was...damn!" Irene shook her head.

"So sorry about that, but that incidence wasn't to hurt you but Harold . I'm so worried for him,so many people are after his life" Nola said.

"Really?" Irene dropped her spoon slowly.

"Yes" Nola sighed.

Irene's moist mouth went dry, her heart pounded slowly and she could tell she's starting to get really worried too.

Nothing must happen to him.

"Does he get death threats?" She asked Nola.

"Severally but Harold loves keeping things to himself, I'm sure he wouldn't have been bothered if it was him the incidence had happened to"

"What!, that's not good" Irene said.

She would talk to him when he's back from work.

"Harold just have this special grace, cause the amount of dead threats he receives is enough to have killed him"

"Wow!" Irene blinked.

"I don't know who's so wicked to the extent of trying to kill a man who has been benevolent all his life, Harold doesn't hurt people, and i don't get why people would want to hurt him" Nola said.

"This life is just so fucked up, bad things tend to happen to good people. Mr Harold has been nothing but nice to me all along. It's ... It's just so, i..i don't want to lose anyone close to me again" Irene said,her bright face turning dark.

"Again?" Nola asked.

"Yes" Irene said, tearing up."

"What happened?" Nola asked.

"I lost my parents years ago" Irene bursted into tears.

"Oh...my" Nola quickly rose to her feet and walked to her.

"I'm so sorry about that dear" she said wiping Irene's tears with her apron.

So sad.

She never knew Irene was an orphan.

She must have gone through a lot.

"What really happened? Was it an accident?" Nola asked, sadly.

"No, my mum died years before my dad, she died of cardiac arrest while my dad..he died when his fashion store crumbled" Irene said.

"That's so sad, I'm so sorry about that Irene, y..you must have gone through a lot" Nola said,close to tears too.

"Ofcourse" Irene smiled sadly. "But thankfully it's a phrase we've passed" Irene cleaned her tears.

"We? You have siblings?" Nola asked.

"Just one, my younger brother. Damien and i have a stepmother too" Irene smiled.

"Really?"

"Yes"

"I hope she isn't mean to you guys" Nola asked.

"Not at all, she's been a great mum to us" Irene said.

"Wow, I'm glad" Nola smiled.

"Com'on stop the tears" She urged Irene who nodded.

"Life has it's ups and downs Irene,one just have to live with what life has to offer. I'm now your big sister Irene and you can confide in me anytime any day okay?" Nola said and Irene nodded.

"Thanks Nola" she sniffed.

"You're most welcome darling" Nola said.

"We should do something about Mr Harold, I'm afraid those people sending death threats might end up carrying it out" Irene said, pushing her food away.

She lost her appetite already.

"So what are we gonna do?" Nola asked.

___πŸ‚

"You mean that little boy said so?!" Ethan thundered.

"Yes boss Ethan" Mark, the bodyguard who had approached Damien said.

"And he was so serious, he's not weak as we thought boss" Mike added.

"Shut up! Are you now afraid of him? Someone you should have killed right on that spot!" Ethan hissed.

"I'm sorry boss" Mike bowed.

"Sorry for yourself! Get the fuck out of my sight!" Ethan said and Mike bowed before scurrying away.

Ethan paced his room with a fierce look.

How can that poor thing threaten him?

Like...what the fuck!

"Now is the time to carry out the real threat" He laughed wickedly.

"About the nanny right?" Carrle asked.

She was fully made up, applying more lip gloss, she permed her lips together and smiled, satisfied with her look.

Her breast were almost spilling from the scarlet bustier she wore beneath a red mini gown.

She was wearing red heels to match and her dyed blonde hair was well permed.

She looked seductively beautiful.

"Yes the nanny,Alex told me she's not even prepared to leave that job even after we scared her with the gunshot" Ethan said, his body hardening at Carrle's sight.

He felt like having her right now.

"Ohh, fine then" carrle smiled as she selected a little black purse.

She grabbed her phone too.

"How do i look?" She asked Ethan.

"Sexy!" Ethan drawled.

"Don't give me that look, you can't have me now. Harold is going to first" she giggled.

Yes!

She was going to seduce Harold.

It was their second plan.

"Okay okay, just go" Ethan said, planning to call a sex worker over when she's gone.

"Okay, bye" she grinned.

She glanced at herself for the last time in the mirror.

"Ohh...my! He won't be able to resist me" She thought excitedly.

I'm finally getting him back.

___πŸ‚

"Get the hell out of my office! You wench!!!" Harold yelled, chasing the shocked Carrle out of his office.
