Chapter 7 More Than A Man

• “Hey, are you ok little girl can you hear me“
• “Who are you calling little“
• “What“
• “I said who are you calling little, pipsqueak“
• “You are a feisty one, aren’t you“
• “Go away, do not make me get up there“
• “And how are you getting up here if I may ask, you are struck are you not“
• “No am not, go away“
• “Ok then, have a loving day, little one“
• Alex laughed in his head, what kind of a girl is this, she is too prideful to ask for help but he wanted to see how this will turn out. He hid himself behind a wall and watched as she struggled to get free from her entrapment. Frustrated he walked to her and help her get freed.
• “Put me back, I can do it myself“
• “Really, you have been down here for close to an hour now“
• “I do not care, just put me back I did not ask for your help“
• “You are just unbearable, a simple thank you will be good“
• “I do not have the energy to say that word besides I told you I could do it, if you had only minded your business, now excuse me“
• She pushed pass him and Alex was intrigued, amazed and hurt who does she think she is, unbelievable he should have just left her there but he was the host and has to make his guest feel comfortable at his Dad’s stupid Halloween party but this girl dressed as a fairy just turned him into a fool, what was she even doing in this dark cellar all by herself anyway, wanting to know more he pursue her but she was nowhere to be found “
• “Who was that girl“
• A question his mind has been asking him for 7 years, he could not get her out of his head, no matter how hard he tried. School was reopening and he has to get back to Seaview. He had spent all his vacation at Port city learning his family trades and connections. He was the heir to his family Legacy and fortune but he has always wanted to be a Doctor which was out of the question. He has to be a CEO and a frightening one at that to gain respect and loyalty from his employees and partners. Every time count as his Father was in a hurry to instill his believes into him. He grew colder and distant each passing day but stronger and smarter too. Being 15 years means he has little to no time to be perfect, standing in front of the school he watched as his class mates greet each other with smiles and stories of their fun vacation and his eyes landed on her, he was surprised and happy for some unknown reason, there she was, she was real, he did not dream it, she really is a living person. For the first time in 10 years he smiled, his body relaxed and his heart beat faster, he took a step and was blocked
• “Alex, here you are, we have been looking for you, Darius went to the Bahamas with…….“
• “Kelvin, get off my face“
• “Alex what’s wrong, you are looking for something “
• “Get away from my face“
• “Dude we can help, what is it“
• “Nothing, just stand aside“
• They were gone by the time he got to where they were standing, he turned around but the yard was barely crowded anymore, he walked speedily into the school turning his head curiously to every corner, leaving his friends confused and suspicious. Room by room, class by class he searched and finally found her being introduced to her classmates. He hid behind the door and listen “Vivian, her name is Vivian“
• “Alex Mace I hope you have a good explanation for not being in class “
• “Principal Albert, I am…………well….I was………“
• “Get to class Alex, now“
• “Yes Sir“
• I have found you Vivian, you are closer to me now, and I will know who you are, what you are, why you were in the cellar struck and will get my thanks. For days his eyes followed her everywhere, He recorded her every moves in his mind and will day dream about her occasionally, He was fascinated by her and wanted to be near but did not want to scare her just yet. He had changed a lot and he does not think he was ready to push himself into her life. Alex heard his name being called far away, and a presence overshadowing him, his eyes opened and his hand went behind his waist.
• “Young Boss, we are at the airport“
• His driver announce to him, he slowly removed his hand from his back and turned to see the airport filled with people “Flight 164 is ready to dispatch to Britain“ announcements being made all over. He got off his Car, and walked to his family Plane, he turned and watched his country for one last time, his heart made a promise and his mind agreed “wait for me Vivian, I will be back“ his plane flew into the sky.
• Mace Building
• George was watching the airport from his office, his back to the door, he hope his son will be more of a man than he was and separate the wolf from the sheep, he thought since blood was thicker he could change them but a leopard will never change his spots. That is why he had him trained harder, brutal and deadly to shed his feelings away, to make him the ultimate weapon of a man. He will correct his mistakes now and leave a peace inheritance for him to rule over.
• “Boss he is gone“
• “Good, prepare everything, and call everyone we start when they get here“
• “Yes Boss“
• Woods Estate
• “What do you mean you lost him, I told you to trail him and reports everything that Alex Mace does to me“
• “Dad, he was suppose to meet us for Golf but he never showed“
• “You idiot, you fucking idiot, do you know what you just did, that was our bargaining chip“
• “Am sorry“
• “Sorry, what will you saying sorry do in this situation, get your ass up and search this town for him, do not come to this house if you do not have Alex Mace with you“
• “Yes“
• A knock interrupted his thinking, he was angry, shaking and disappointed at his son for not taking anything serious in his life, how could he survive in this dog eat dog world
• “Master Louis “
• “WHAT“
• “George just called his forces, they will be here at Port city in 2 days maximum“
• “Damn you George, damn you, get everyone ready we are at war“
• “Everyone Master“
• “Do you know who George Mace is, call everyone to be here now, we have to be ready for him, and we will need all the help we can get to take him down, he is not leaving this Country alive, neither is his son, we will end the Mace bloodline and that is a fucking promise“
