The scarred face man looked up from his laptop the minute he heard footsteps approaching him. He stood up immediately and his voice trembled slightly as he acknowledged the lady's presence. " Hi Angel " He said and stared at her warily. Angel didn't answer his greeting and instead, walked leisurely to his table. The man immediately moved away from the table and Angel settled down on the seat comfortably. The scarred face man stood there awkwardly while he waited for Angel to break the silence. She eyed him for some seconds before she spoke up. " Don't try to get familiar with me Collins, how was it? " She asked quietly and Collins knew he was in for trouble. Her voice was unusually and dangerously quiet. He took a deep breath " You see, it would have been successful but the fool sent to execute the plan released the bitch before they got here " Then he went so still that he could be mistaken for a statue as he anxiously waited for Angel's reaction to the bombshell he just droppe

Hunter's words sounded genuine, his concern seemed sincere, yet she couldn't shake off the unsettling feeling from earlier that day.Meanwhile, from his office, Alex monitored the conversation from a safe distance. His jaw tensed as he observed Hunter's seemingly innocent conversation with Ava. He knew the facade Hunter was putting on, and the danger that lurked beneath his amiable tone." We need to stay one step ahead " Alex muttered to Black who was standing before him " Make sure Ava knows not to trust anything Hunter says "Black nodded in acknowledgment and reached for his phone to discreetly alert Ava, cautioning her about the potential danger, without disclosing too much information.Back in the mansion, Ava's phone buzzed with a text message. She glanced at the screen to see a message from an unknown number " Hi Miss Ava, it's Black. Be cautious.

Alex came back from work at half past midnight and was exhausted but he was determined to see the woman who had been on his mind for the past few months or so. However, he strongly doubted that she would be awake because it was late. Yet, he hoped. The eerie silence welcomed him as he entered the quiet house. He was hungry for her presence, to feel her presence but it seemed they were deliberately avoiding each other since the night they were involved in romance. He wasn't happy with the distance that emerged between them since that night. He couldn't even remember the last time he set his eyes on her pretty face . Gawd, he missed her so much. He had texted her earlier today that he would explain everything about the instruction he gave to not trust her friend Hunter, but it seemed she was asleep as the house was quiet.

" It's been long we spoke, I know we've both been busy and all but somehow, I feel you're avoiding me, Ava " His voice went low at the end as he stared straight into her eyes. Ava frowned, feigning innocence " Avoiding you? No, that's not true " Alex eyed " You know very well what I'm talking about Ava, but I won't push it "" Sorry I sidetracked for a minute, let me get straight to the point now " He added and sighed audibly. Ava nodded, not ready to give a reply to his previous statement, and Alex on noticing that she wasn't ready to speak, continued. " I really need you to stay away from Hunter " He said seriously as his eyes bore holes into hers. Of course Ava knew that but something in her wished to push Alex to the edge and she did that. Once again, she feigned innocence and frowned for the second time that morning " Why? "Alex raised h
