After finishing his job at one of Washington's upscale bars,
Alice packed and went out the back door. Feeling very dizzy, Alice chose to lean against the electricity pole near the bar before continuing her walk home.
"Mr. Brayden, I'm pregnant..." A woman's voice startled Alice. Her curiosity made her peek from behind the wall which was quite close to where they were chatting.
Alice just regained consciousness after drinking a bottle of water. But who would have thought that she would hear a woman confessing her sins behind the Bar.
"Pregnant?"
Alice heard a voice so cold and heavy that she immediately flinched even though the voice was not directed at her. The man's voice sounded very scary and emotionless.
"I said I was pregnant"
Alice heard the woman's voice again.
"Mr Brayden, have you forgotten that a month ago we slept together?" The woman sounded very emotional.
Alice held her breath waiting for the man's response, but only silence followed. She wanted to peek but she didn't think it was the right thing to do. She waited until finally, she heard the man's answer.
"Are you sure that the one sleeping with you is me?"
Alice gasped in disbelief at the man's words.
"Wow... he's so cruel. How could he possibly say that? So irresponsible."
"So, Mr. Brayden, you mean that I've slept with a lot of men?" The woman sounded like she was shocked.
"Too many women come forward with the same confession. But, it always ends in vain!"
"Mr Brayden, I have given myself to you since the first time you invited me. Even though you never said anything about your feelings. Mr, I am pregnant and want to marry you!"
Alice could tell from the woman's voice that she was on the verge of breaking down, however, the man's voice did not soften in the slightest after hearing that. Instead, he sounded more threatening as he responded.
"Get away from me before I destroy your career and even your family..." He said without caring about the girl's feelings. There was no trace of warmth in the man's voice.
"Do you want me to kill this child?"
"Stop bragging while my Boss is still kind to you!" Brayden's assistant couldn't stand it anymore, he knew very well that it would be impossible for his boss to sleep with a woman, let alone get her pregnant.
"What if I hold a press conference and say that I'm pregnant with the big boss of Rodriguez Corporation's child?"
Alice was surprised to hear the name of the company. To convince herself, she immediately searched on Google. Soon information about the company appeared.
Rodriguez Corporation is a conglomerate company (holding company) that owns many companies. Its core business is oil and gas. This company is also involved in the property, hotel, and pharmaceutical businesses and has a hospital and number one bank in the city center. The company delivered a phenomenal average annual return of 20.9% to shareholders, with a large amount of capital and little debt. A thousand American dollars invested in Rodriguez in the first year turned into $ 52,365,000 to date.
Alice swallowed deeply. She didn't expect that the big boss of a famous company was involved with an artist.
"If you dare to do so, not only will your career in the entertainment world be destroyed but your life will also be lost."
Alice shuddered at the man's threat. Out of curiosity, Alice was a little more advanced. When she saw who the woman was, her hand immediately covered her mouth.
"Isn't she Rebecca? A very popular famous actress?"
She couldn't believe her eyes. Why would a beautiful and popular artist get involved with a bastard who doesn't want to take responsibility. Rebecca is a very beautiful Diva and is idolized by many men. The entertainment world would be shaken if they found out about that.
After that, Alice's widened eyes then turned to the man but she couldn't see his face because he had his back to her.
"But, I love you."
"... I..."
"You should be well aware of how I deal with anyone who wants to bother me. Everything ends in death. No forgiveness for anyone."
Rebecca trembled and immediately cried and knelt.
Alice shivered when she saw Rebecca, who always appeared confident in front of the camera, kneeling in front of the demon man. The goddess that every man out there worshiped was now a pathetic piece of trash.
Bams ...
Bams ...
Bams ...
Alice's heart seemed to jump out of its seat when she heard the gunshot. Her head was dizzy again and her body became weak when she saw the woman lying covered in blood.
"Come out. I know you're there. NOW!"
Alice froze for a long time and ignored Brayden's terrible voice. Alice knew that what the man meant was herself.
"Fuck... How could I have been discovered? Will he shoot me too?"
"If you won't come out, then I will shoot you like this girl."
Alice was shaking even more. Because she didn't want to die, she took a deep breath and then came out of hiding.
"I'm sorry. I was just a passerby and didn't hide on purpose. Please don't kill me." Said Alice as she approached Brayden.
There was no response from the man. Alice became increasingly frightened until she broke out in cold sweat. Her head was getting dizzy and her body was shaking.
"Raise your head."
Alice slowly raised her face which was red and covered in sweat. She is very nervous because currently, her condition is not very good. She was still under the influence of alcohol. She couldn't remember if anyone had ever made her feel scared and nervous like this.
As soon as their eyes met, Alice almost drooled. Because the man in front of her is very handsome. Even more handsome than the actors she idolized. She just understood why someone like Rebecca was willing to surrender herself to this demonic man in front of her.
Alice immediately came back to her senses and then she grabbed Brayden's hands. Instantly, Brayden was shocked and immediately withdrew his hands. However, his left glove fell off so he became very worried.
Alice, who was still influenced by alcohol, pulled Brayden's hand again roughly without fear.
"Boss..." Brayden's assistant, who had been observing him, was very worried about his boss.
Brayden was very surprised when the skin of his hand came into contact with the skin of the woman's hand. Last time his whole body was red, itchy, and hot so he was unconscious for days. To save Brayen's life, his mother had to sacrifice herself because she had touched her son so she had to replace her son in dying.
