When a billionaire loves.

Chapter 16

Alice's pov

"Bloody bas*****" I winced at Mr Wilson's harsh voice.

After listening to the whole story Mr Wilson was fuming in rage. It looked like he wanted to kill someone. I stepped closer to the bed wanting to be away from Mr Wilson.
His anger, the way he reacts to situations like this, the way he always seem to intrude into my personal space, it all reminds me of my painful memories that I thought were long forgotten. With every reminder, the memories formed complete the details of the past like paint strokes of a painting. I know it wouldn't take long for the touch of the final brush stroke if I continue to see Mr Wilson

Mr Wilson was talking with someone on his phone while I stood like a statue. I don't understand the whole thing.
Mr Wilson shows trust in a person like me whom he hardly knows and gives those important blueprints to me, then he asks Mark to guard when I'm not there, and then some masked people attack Mark and land him up here. Above all of this the main catch is that the blueprints are still safe. According to what Mr Wilson said, Mr David has the blueprints now then what was all this thing about attacking Mark.

"A-Alice? " a hoarse voice called my name. I looked up from the floor to see Mark staring at me.
I smiled at him which he tried very hard to return back. His jaw was all purple and swollen and a black eye that he hardly managed to keep open.

" I'm f-fine A-Alice" I didn't know I was crying till now.

"Don't lie" I pouted and laughed humourlessly.

"I'm glad you're okay. I don't know what would have happened to you if you were there too." something flickered in his eyes.

"Do you know who were they? " after listening to the whole story I know this was a stupid question.

" No. But we already have a guess"
I frowned giving him a confused look. He sighed and tried to smile warmly at me giving me the message that I should stay out of it and I respected that.
"I don't know what will happen now? " he closed his eyes.

" Everything will be okay Mark. You have Mr Wilson. " I placed my hand on his.

" Trust me, I know" he looked over to Mr Wilson pacing around the room still on his phone.

That's the only thing I appreciate about him. Yes he is rude, yes he's someone who scares the hell out of me and does anything to show his dominance but deep inside he does care about people like Mark, people who are close to him, who are trustworthy and honest. I smiled at that.

At least I have something good to appreciate about him.

"We have to go Alice" Mr Wilson turned to me. His face confronted shock and worry.

" But what is happening? Who did this? " now it was me asking.

" You don't have to get into this Alice. You won't understand the situation. All you should know is that it is someone who is capable to play with us. " he said in a very serious tone.

Adrian Wilson, the multi billionaire tycoon, who is one of the dominant figures in the business industry, who controls every challenge coming his way with ease and here he looked like someone snapped his brain into two.
I could already guess what kind of person might be behind all of this.  A person with position, power and fame. A person who is capable to toy with someone like Adrian Wilson.
Three words which are enough to ruin someone's life..

Trust me Mr Wilson, I know what these kind of people can do.

"I'll meet you again Mark"

"What happened sir? " and obviously there came another worried voice.
The air was thick around me and I could smell something bad coming our way.
