Kate's POV
I got home exhausted and curious Sandra won't allow me rest.
"Are you sure it's really a group assignment that kept you delayed?" She asked, checking all over my body and face as though I was involved in an accident.
"I'm fine, Sandra for goodness sake. I'm not a kid, okay and trust me l stayed up late because of the group work. What's happening, Sandie. I know you're a curious cat but you sound and look a bit suspicious. Is there anything I need to know?" It's my turn to question her but she turned the question around and threw it at me.
"I should be asking you that, instead. Sissy, hope all is well in the school?" She looked worried.
"Jeez, Sandie". I was frustrated. I wonder where she's driving at? Die she notice anything about my moves? I better be careful. I pulled her into a hug.
"All is well, worried sissy. I promise, I got things under control okay? So don't wear out your beautiful face with worries before you look like Anita Riders" I teased, earning a laughter from both of us. I thought I was free from her unending questions but the next moment, I heard her say
"So tell me, did you see your dream man recently?" Her face lit up in anticipation.
"Well, sorry to disappoint us. I've not dreamt about him and it worried me a bit". I lied as perfectly as I could. I really don't want her to have a hint about what I'm up to.
She made a sad face but still draw me closer, engulfing me in a reassuring embrace. We talked about other things and I was glad she didn't press further.
She finally left and I sighed in relief. Sandie is such a dramatic lady but I love her that way.
IN A MAFIA UNGROUND HOUSE.
Williams Bryan could be seen seated elegantly in a chair, smokes puffing out of his nostrils and mouth.
His demeaning countenance sets the whole place on a terrific atmosphere. His men were bowing towards him. No one dares look at his face. It seems they were waiting for someone.
"Good day, my Lord!" The long awaited person bowed respectfully and he looked a bit terrified.
"Go straight to the point". His menacing voice echoed through the room.
"I found out where he is and I asked him to come with me just as you've ordered but he refuse bluntly." He spoke as fast as he could, hoping his head won't roll on the floor in the next moment.
There was a deep silence in the next minutes untill his hysterical laughter broke the silence.
"That's my son! My good son! Didn't he take after me?" He asked the men, who were shivering.
"Answer me!! I said didn't he look like me? "
"Yes sir. He's your replica sir" they responded, hoping it was the right thing to say at that moment.
"Yes, he's my replica and that's why he's rebelling against me. Hahaha". He bursted out into an hysterical laughter which made all his men tensed up.
In the next moment, his laughter was suddenly replaced with a growl.
"How dare you!!! How could you? Dreyfus Bryan". The whole place was shaking with his angry growl.
He stormed out as though he remembered something. The men immediately scurried away to their respective duties.
Meanwhile, a man went into a secluded section of the building. There was no CCTV cameras and surveillance on this spot. He took a tiny handset out of his inner pocket which fitted firmly into his hand. He dialled a number and it connected immediately.
"He's extremely angry. It seems he has ulterior motives. Leave that location right away.". He spoke in a hurried voice before hanging up. He switched off the handset before keeping it back where he had brought it out.
Drey, on the other end smiled mischievously after speaking with Richmond. Richmond is one of his father's cohorts and trusted men but this same Richmond is also working for Dreyfus as a spy. They had been best buddies from onset but their friendship was a secret.
Drey walked out from the balcony into the hotel room where he had been staying away from his monstrous father.
"For now, I would retreat but it's for a better strike. " He said to himself with a dark gaze.
".... This drug is meant for teenagers and young adults who are faced with various stress which includes emotional, physical and even mental stress. Chevrolet pharmaceutical is set to launch this new drug production…."
"Shit!! He yelled as he watched the news woman on TV broadcast the launching of a new drug product by Chevrolet pharmaceutical.
"These monsters won't stop anytime soon until they wipe off everyone from the surface of the earth". He gritted his teeth in anger. He dashed into the wardrobe and picked few clothes. He arranged his stuffs into a bag and he left the room hurriedly.
