In Abacus enterprises, Mr Chen got informed by the spies he sent to watch Micheal and Charles, that Micheal had a chance to kill Charles but he let him go. Mr Chen was furious, " that bastard, he had a chance to finish him but he let him go." Out of anger he cleared off almost everything on his table in a single swipe. He picked up his phone and called Martha "Martha, get over here right now" he barked. Martha heard the anger in his voice and panicked , she quickly rushed to his office. " What's the matter?" She asked as soon as she stepped in. He looked up, " That bastard had a chance to kill him but he let him go instead", "Who?Micheal?" , " Of course , it's Micheal, who else am I talking about" he barked, " how did you know he had a chance to kill him ?" Martha asked surprised. "You sent men to spy on him?" She asked. "Of course l sent men to spy on him, how else would l know that he had second thoughts" he barked at her, " Calm down sir , it's obvious that it is his conscience bothering him, to him he is going to murder an innocent man. He is still trying to gather enough resolve to do it ", Martha said while pouring him a glass of coffee, and gave it him. Mr Chen, took it from her ," then I'll help him gather enough resolve to do it" he said while smirking, Martha isn't liking this, she knows that her boss insisted on Micheal to do tcarry out the assassination because he has other plans , than just the assassination , now seeing him smirk , she had a feeling that whatever his reasons and plans might be , it worse than the assassination. " Call him, say I invited him to come, tell him to come at 9:30 tonight" he said ," alright", she called his number a few times but Micheal wasn't picking his calls. " He is not picking , maybe l should just send him a text" she informed, and Chen nodded his head. ***
Micheal, sat down on a bench outside his house and kept taking deep breathes, after taking in the final deep breathe, with the thought that he had finally gather enough resolve to finish the task given to him, he saw Martha's calls but he declined them, because he knows what she was calling him for, and he doesnt want any disturbance. He got up and headed to Charles home address. Charles on the other hand, left home early today ,he didn't even update his chapters , because he wants to spend the morning with his mom in her restaurant. When Micheal got to his house , he found the door locked. So he decided to go and check him at the coffee shop. When he got there he didn't find him there , frustrated he decided to go to the restaurant to grab something to eat, he didn't eat any thing before leaving his house earlier. As he sat down , Charles approached him to take his order , Micheal froze for a moment before recomposing himself. " Vegetable filled dumplings , and fruit juice " he responded so casually , after that encounter the both them had a weird feeling about each other, and neither of them knew what it is and so they shrugged it off. Micheal was busy side eyeing Charles. Charles shift at the bar is about to start , he left after kissing his mom good bye . Micheal also had a feeling that he had met Charles mom some where before , but then shrugged it off. He followed Charles with a cap on into the alley he had hit him before. After that incident in the alley and the throwing if objects the other night , Charles is more cautious now, he already felt that someone was following him , so he deliberately took a turn towards the alley , so that he could beat up his stalker, oh did l forget to mention that Charles is good martial artist. Micheal on the other hand was imagining in his head how he would kill him quick and easy, ' l would just walk up to him and stab him, and turn as if nothing happened, yes that is what l'm gonna do, l should finish this quickly' he thought. As he walk closer with his knife in his jacket, and Charles ready to turn and attack him. Charles mom called him from behind , Micheal pretended to be passing by. " Charlie?"," What is it mom?" He said as he went towards her, " I just want to tell you to be careful , and not to take a quiet route, you should take the pedestrian walkway , it is crowded definitely more safe." She said. "Okay mom don't worry , l will be fine" he pecked her cheeks and took the pedestrian walkway as his mom requested. But not before turning to look at the alley to see if the one following him earlier was near by.
Micheal's pov:
I swear l was about to stab him, when l heard his mom call him from behind. For goodness sake , why would she come now, l've finally gathered enough to finish this, and she ruined it . I know l sound cruel right now but l don't care , l just want to see my daughter again , alive , safe and sound. There is no point in following him now, other wise l will expose myself. He and his mother being cautious , and seems they both know that he is being followed . So l decide to wait till night fall to try again. I checked for new messages on phone and l saw Martha's text , her boss wants me to come over tonight. Well isn't this great, note the sarcasm. It is nightfall now , l saw approaching his entrance , l hid in a dark alley , so he wont be able to see me , l took a rock from the few rocks l had picked, and threw it at him . I missed again, he looked when he felt something flew pass him, " who is it , show yourself ,don't be a coward" he shouted. Too bad, l can't do that though. I took a deep breath and threw another one . This time it him hard on his shoulder and he helped, that wasn't my plan , it was supposed to hit him in his head. I don't want cause him too much pain. I threw another one immediately and it him on his head , he fell on the ground immediately, l watched his body, lifeless on the ground, l stood still for a while but he didn't move, is he dead?, As l was about to go and check, his mom came out of the house . She screamed and rushed towards his lifeless body, she shook him vigorously while shouting his name. I left the scene, now guilt is eating me up like hell. He was his mom's only child. By doing this, I'm l any different from the man that took my only daughter from me. I stopped in my tracks after realizing this. I feel so disappointed in myself. I took a deep sigh and looked up. I've decided if Charlie manages to survive this , l'll let him go. I'm sorry Angela , but l can't be too selfish. My phone is ringing, it's Martha calling. I don't know whether to pick up or not. I later picked up after the sixth call. " Why haven't been my calls since morning " was the first question that welcomed me . "I was busy , l am sorry" l simply said , " you were busy, busy with what, whatever my boss wants you to come here right now " she barked, I'm guessing she had a bad day. " Alright , l'm coming over" , and with that l cut the call and head to abacus enterprises.
As soon as l got there , l found Martha waiting for me at the entrance, " you didn't answer my questions earlier" was the statement she welcomed me with. " Yes l did" l said simply " let us not keep your boss waiting shall we ?" , I stopped her from saying anything else. And we both entered the company. I was led into a large beautiful office. "This is my boss's office" she said and my jaw dropped, this room is too beautiful to be an office. The marble tiling is exquisite, there is a large chandelier in the middle of the , two golden cushion to the left and right , and a large mahogany table at the back center of the room. The design of this room is fantastic.
