Somewhere unknown
Anonymous pov;
I stood in front of the magnificent building. It was painted black all through,dull black. You can't see any other color in sight. The house is big, even bigger than most places. It's in the middle of nowhere. In the middle of the jungle to be realistic.
After appreciating the house for sometime, I took out a card from my pocket. The card is also black and on it are only two letters,M.M.
I put it in the scanner, it beeped. The gate opened and I stepped in. I went straight to the top floor. I stood in front of the meeting room and let myself be scanned. After the verification, I was allowed to enter. This is where we always meet with him.
" Boss". I said with my head lowered as I entered the meeting room. Then I straightened up and went to stand beside the boss. I was his right hand man.
Soon after,all the other five members came. The boss was the only one sitting. Every other person was standing.
The boss is a very normal person with no outstanding feature. The only unique thing about him is his violet eyes. They glimmer under the dim light. I was the only one who knew that it was his real eyes and not contact.
We started the meeting and the members gave reports of their missions. It soon got to my turn.
" I don't know who did it but the two men are out. Max's wife, Xandra is timid and would probably not do anything but I'm afraid Mirabel will be a pain in the a**". I reported.
" If she poses a problem, exterminate her". Boss said coldly.
I grinned. " Roger that".
" You are all dismissed. You wait". He pointed at me.
After everyone had left. " Max and Drey were taken out so easily and we don't know if who did it is a friend or a foe. Find out who did that and try to collaborate with them,they seem very efficient,they will be useful".
" Yes boss. May I ask,why are you so bent on making her life a living hell?".
" She's just paying for her mother's sin".
" Really,well I don't really care about the reason, I only care about the killing".

" Are you even serious? Just a single person, you cannot kill,uh. Are you that incompetent. Of what use are you then? A girl like her is trying to squander my son's property because he's dead and you can't even get rid of her?".
I shouted at the young man sitted in front of me.
" I'm sorry sir. I almost succeeded but someone just came out from nowhere and saved her. I couldn't even see the man's face,he was dressed so cautiously. He might have been trailing her". He said meekly.
" Was that meant to be an excuse?". I asked in a not so angry voice.
" No sir. If you give me just one more chance, I can help investigate who was it that pulled her out of the way".
" Then why are you still sitting there. Go about your work already".
' that bitch thinks she can take away everything my son owns while I'm still alive. Who knows,she might even be the one who killed my son. No way would I let her live'.
Lexi's pov;
I had to plead with Alex not to let anyone know I'm pregnant for now. I wanted to keep working. It would be too exhausting to stay home alone.
I went to pick Nelson in school and was on my way back home when I got Mirabel's call.
" How are you doing?".
" I'm coping".
" I'm on my way to your house now,are you at home?".
" I went to pick Nelson but I'm on my way home though".
" Alright, let's meet at home".
" Un".
" Sister Mira, you are here". Nelson ran to greet Mirabel as soon as he saw her.
He already liked Mirabel.
" Yes Nelson. See I brought you gifts".
" Wow, sister Mira is so good".
I smiled as we all made our way Into the living room.
" Sister Mira, do you know I'll have a baby sister soon?".
" A baby sister?". She asked puzzled.
" Yes, we went to the hospital three days ago. Mummy is carrying my baby sister, I'm so happy".
" Xandra,are you really pregnant? And you didn't tell me?".
" It's true the doctor said I'm pregnant but I just wanted to sort some things out before I could tell you".
" Sort what out? Don't tell me you don't plan to keep the baby?".
" How's that possible. It's Max's last gift to me,how can I not keep it?".
" That's good then". She sighed relieved.
" I brought ingredients for chicken soup but it seems we won't be having it now". She said as she went to drop them in the kitchen. I followed while Nelson stayed in the living room.
" Why?".
" I don't want to overwork you. You went to work since morning,how can I make you cook again. I won't forgive myself if anything happens to your baby".
" It's just a baby,it doesn't stop me from cooking. Won't I eat from now on?".
" You won't have to cook yourself anymore. Although your food tastes better but mine is still edible. I can cook for you every day".
" Really".
" Yeah, really. By the way, have you started prenatal care?".
" No but I plan to start soon".
" I'll go with you to register. You should start as soon as possible".
" Alright. As you wish".
" The reason I came here today. I wanted to discuss something with you".
" What's up?".
" You know. The storm is yet to settle and our lives are still at risk. I was thinking I should move in with you. That way,we can help each other and if anything happens to one of us,the other will know and ask for help.
Now that I know you are pregnant. It strengthened my resolve, there's no way I'll let you live here alone in this condition with no other person to take care of you".
" I don't mind. I'll really love it if you stay here".
" It's settled then, I'll sleep here tonight. I can go bring my things tomorrow".
" You sure are eager".
" Of course. I can't wait. Let me make you some food, I'm sure Nelson is starving already".
