BRUTAL MINDS (A DARK ROMANCE)

CHAPTER 21- GOLD MONEY

              Five more minutes and Hades gave the order for the session to end. He got up and casually looked into his watch.

I have a flight at ten. I trust you'll take care of things here while I'm gone, won't you Davian?
He only nodded, blood dripping from his lower lip.
That's better.

             After leaving his place, a heated argument arose between both Allison and Davian. He had even hit her in the process but was quick to sober up and apologize.

I said I'm sorry, I had no idea he would do something so barbaric.
And what did I tell you about my uncle?
To stay from him, I know. Personally, I can't even stand the sight of him. But last night just happened. I'm sorry.
He sighed. I'm sorry I yelled. He pulled her in for a hug. We're leaving this place.
What? Why? No!
Yes Allison, I can't have you getting hurt again.
But the summer holidays are not over yet.
Put someone in charge of this place, preferably a manager. We're leaving for New York before the week ends.
Mmm. She nodded.
And yes, we need to fix you up with someplace to work in since you no longer have one.
That'd be really nice but where.
He shrugged, smiling. How would you like to work for me?
Allison smiled. Nah
Why not.
I think I'd be too much of a distraction. She chuckled.
I can handle distractions.
Uh-uh, she moved her head sideways. Any other position than working directly under you Davian.
Alright Alright I'll see what I can do.
Is the pay good enough? Remember I still owe your uncle a fortune.
Trust me It'll be fine.

                 
                    ~~~~~~~~~~~

                 

              Hades could be seen seated comfortably in the private suite as the jet took to the skies, returning back to New York with his friend, Bruce seated opposite him. Two wine glasses in front of them. He placed a telephone on a call.

I'm on my way, Luke.
Is there anything else you would like me to do sir pending your arrival?
Hades looked down at the paper in his hands, containing three names.
Yes, there are certain people I need you to look up.
Ofcourse sir. Specifically you would want me to bring them to you afterwards.
Exactly. I'll send you the details after this call.
I'll be expecting them.
And one more thing,
Yes sir...?
His lips parted hesitantly, glancing an uncertain look at Bruce, as it reconsidering his next choice of words but he said them anyway.
I want you to keep tabs on Allison Doreen.
Bruce's eyes shot open In surprise at his statement.
In what way sir? Luke asked.
Keep a very close eye on her, everything she does, everywhere she goes. Don't let her out of your sight.
I could install surveillance cameras...
Perfect and connect them to my computers. I'll be expecting a feedback before the end of today.
Ofcourse sir,
That'll be all.
Have a safe flight sir.

Hangup!

             Bruce took a wine glass from the table and gulped down the contents. He stole a look at his friend before finally letting out the question.

Keep a close eye on Allison Doreen? What's the deal with you Man? Bruce asked, a smug smile dancing on his lips.
Exactly why he didn't want to say this in front of Bruce. Hades thought.
I have a feeling danger could be lurking around her.
Danger? You bet it is. Bruce said, sarcastically implying Hades was all the danger in the world a person could have.... He wasn't totally wrong though.
What are you now? Some kind of stalker?
Hades cringed at the title. No!
Alright, I'm sorry but that seems to be exactly what you're doing right now. He chuckled. So what's the actual deal?
She was attacked at the resort.
Attacked?! His eyes shot open in surprise. How did this happen?
At some dumb cocktail party, He sighed.
What was the situation?
An attempt at rape.
That's awful!
Indeed.
Do you have any idea who the bastards were?
No....not yet but I will soon enough and when I do, I'll have each and every one of their organs cooling off in my freezer but until then, I need to keep a close eye on her.
Fair enough.
On my pet. He thought, her red hair plus those big blue eyes made him think of a ginger cat. Although he never really liked cats, too much feistiness underneath all that cute fur-ball and guess who else had that exact personality? Allison Doreen.
