Some people create

"Damn you Ace! Damn you Ace. I wish you were dead already!"

An expensive wine glass smashed through the flawless white walls before it shattered down the tiled floor with a loud crash. Not quite satisfied, he threw another…. And another…. And another until there was nothing left on the set of expensive wine glasses he just bought.

He turned his fists into a tight ball and pounded the top of the bar counter inside his extremely large room until his knuckles bleed. But no matter how hard he smashed the wooden counter with his fists, it did nothing to diminish the frustration and rage that consumed him.

Ace was still alive…. And so Phoenix…. His plans failed again. The people he hated most were still alive which basically means he would be doomed soon. It will not take some time before Ace fights back and when he does he will not only lose Greyson Enterprise and his inheritance but his whole life as well.

Stripping him off with his title as the CEO of Greyson Enterprises would be easier once Ace discovers what he did to the company. He kept the truth from his father but Ybbrahim would undoubtedly put a gun to his head and pull the trigger once he discovered how he led the company to its impending bankruptcy just months after he became the CEO.

"It's all your fault, Phoenix…. You should have died that night…. Look what have you done… You ruined all my plans." He grumbled absentmindedly. Clenching his fist tightly until his fingers turned white.

He sat down on the bar stool and grabbed the open bottle of vintage wine he bought from Europe during his last business trip and poured the contents to his throat until he consumed a bit too much wine.

His grip tightened around the bottle while his piercing glare stared at the mess of broken glasses on the floor. He hates to see his room disorganized but he can't help it, he just snapped after he received the news that Ace and Phoenix survived the bomb explosion unscathed.

The thought his evil plans went down the drain fueled his rage more.

"Dammmmmmiiit!" He snapped and sent the bottle of expensive vintage wine crashing to the pristine white walls. The reddish liquid?dripped down the white walls like crimson blood. It formed a huge pool to the the tiled floor as if someone had been murdered on that spot.

He was running out of time. Soon Phoenix would report to the police how Angela murdered her and it would not take long before his connection to the crime would be exposed. So before everything turned for the words he needed to kill Phoenix first then Ace would follow.

The door to the room opened. A woman with a shapely figure clad in sexy lingerie entered the room. Her long titian hair cascaded down her smooth shoulders. She suddenly stopped in her tracks when her enchanting jaded eyes caught sight of the huge mess on the flawless white wall and the tiled floor. The sight looked like a crime scene as if someone was murdered on that spot.

Everything about her was angelic. She looked like a meek creature of heaven except that she's no angel but a wicked and cunning woman who's willing to kill for the sake of money and power.

"Vince?" She called out softly, her voice crystal clear.?Her eyes shifted to his direction. She didn't show any emotion as she looked at him.

When there was no response she crossed the distance between them and stopped right in front of him. "What happened Vince?" This time the softness on her tone was gone. It was replaced by her usual sharp tone.

"The plan you thought was brilliant failed. Ace was still alive and so was Phoenix." He replied between clenched fingers and gritted teeth.

She stood frozen. Her jade eyes wide in fear. Her trembling hands extended to the bar counter for support. "No….I planned it carefully.. The bomb will explode after thirty minutes. H-how could they possibly survive those carefully laid plans?"

"How should I know? I'm not even there when it happened." He snapped and shot her with a murderous glare.

"Are you blaming me, Vince?" Her tone rose several octaves. She shot him back with a scathing glare. Her angelic face contorted with fury.

"It was all your plan, Angela… Your stupid little plan." He shot back harshly. Grabbed the bottle of unopened wine and angrily hurled it across the wall. She flinched when the bottle shattered upon hitting the wall then crushed to the floor. The contents spilled all over the place. The inside of his room looked as if someone had not been murdered but butchered there.

"It's the safest plan, you stupid asshole." She replied with eyebrows almost merging into a straight line as she fought his gaze. "It's far more logical that your plan to kidnap them both in broad daylight." She shot back, unfazed by his rage.

"Shut up!" He ordered. He wanted to wring her beautiful neck but he made no move to reach for her. It would be a total waste of time. It would not change anything. They both failed.

For a moment none of them spoke. The room was wrapped into a deafening silence as if there was no one occupying the room. Both minds were busy plotting their next move to take the enemies down. The sooner they eliminate Ace and Phoenix, the better.

Angela managed to control her emotions until she eventually calmed down. Arguing wouldn't get them anywhere, she told herself and swiftly moved to the bar counter and pulled a cabinet door open. She produced two expensive wine glasses from inside and laid them on top of the counter.

She went inside the wine cellar and snatched the first wine that caught her attention. When she returned, she immediately pulled the cork and poured the glass and handed one to Vince who was now seated on the bar stool.

"I think it's about time we pull our last card, Vince."

She took a sip on her glass and carefully watched his stone cold expression. She was afraid that he wouldn't agree.

He sighed. Lifted his gaze until it was leveled to hers and he nodded to her surprise.

"I think it's about time we use their ultimate weakness against them."

For the first time since he arrived that night, a smile stretched on her lips.

Vince emptied his glass in a single gulp. He laid the empty glass on top of the counter and rose from his seat. He snatched his leather jacket hanging from the rack and put it on.

He was walking towards the door when she called his name. He stopped halfway through the door but he didn't look behind him.

"Where do you think you're going, Vince?"

He ignored her warning tone. He wasn't in the mood to argue with her again. He has an important business to attend to.

"I'm going to check our hostage." He replied and made a beeline straight to the door without looking back.

***

Vince's alert eyes scanned his surroundings. When he made sure that no one was following him, he hurriedly climbed inside the car and turned the engine on.

The colossal gates of Greyson Mansion opened. His luxury car sped out of the gates. Moments later the car was peacefully moving on the dark road.

Approximately an hour later, he finally reached his destination. An old but large rest house surrounded by trees came to view. He parked the car in front of the gates and he clambered out.

He rang the bell twice. He didn't wait long before an armed man opened the gates and allowed him to enter. Once inside, he hastily moved inside the resthouse until he reached a particular door.

It was late. She must be asleep at this hour, he thought as he turned the knob.

When he pushed the door open, he found the four year old girl curled on the bed, her fragile arms wrapped around her knees.

The little girl was thin—a sign she's not eating properly. Her beautiful face was covered with dirt. Her long brown hair which hadn't been washed for over a week was spilled all over the pillow. Her hand was tightly chained to make sure she wouldn't escape.

Sensing he was there, her eyes fluttered open. Fear made her exquisite blue eyes wide with fear. She hastily sat up and pressed her body in the corner of the bed while she trembled with fear.

The child covered her face with her palms as if she was afraid of him. He smiled icily as he looked at her pitiful condition.

"It's been a while, my precious niece…. You will be able to meet your parents soon...and when that time arrives, I will make sure to kill them for real this time."
