CHAPTER SEVEN

I stare at Bart hoping it was a prank and he'd actually tell me who the letter was from, but I saw a puzzled face staring back at me, wanting an answer to his question. " Oh yes! I'm fine." I say to him. I was just hoping Genevieve would atleast give a call to wish me well on my special day. I lied. Faking a smile to ease Bart's curiosity. " Anyways I don't care. Just get me a slice of that cake when you are done sharing it." I say to Bart. " Okay..I sure will." Bart say to me, smiling so wide. I could see his complete set of teeth poking out as he smiles." Okay then, leave my room so I can rest for today's big celebration." I say to Bart. Who immediately walks out of my room, closing the door behind him.

Once he was out of sight and I couldn't  hear his footsteps again. I picked up the letter that was written by Genevieve and read it again in my mind.  I could see my lips breaking into a smile. Offcourse I missed seeing her. Even though she never even paid any attention to me while she was working for me.

Suddenly I thought of her not showing up for my  party. It stung so bad when we realized I was partially at fault. If only I stopped Olivia from sacking Genevieve, it would have been a different story now.

My mind went straight to the Genevieve I met at the airport. " Could she be the one that sent me the letter." I say to myself. Brainstorming on the possible best answer to who could have sent me the birthday note.

I laid my head down on the soft and comfortable mattresses in the masters bedroom, to catch some sleep, but I just couldn't. I felt I was been haunted by my past. I remembered all the blood I spilled as an Alpha werewolf in the past. I remember killing a man and his wife, while I was younger. Nobody in my current life knew I was a werewolf, neither did they know the evil things I had done in the past. That is why I choose to maintain a low profile, so I won't be noticed by any one from my past. But whenever I look at Genevieve, I feel my past closing in on me. "Why do I feel this way." I say to myself. No one is after me. "I feel guilty for everything I did in the past. I wish I could rewrite the wrong I did." I say to myself turning and tossing on the bed. 

Finally I was able to catch some sleep. But then I saw flashes from my past. I remember been in those scenes. Yes! I remember. The flashes persisted. I saw the faces of the couple I killed. I remember them begging me not to kill them but spare their lives. "Please don't kill me..I have young children, they don't have anybody to look after them if I die." The lady say to me in the dream.  I remember mocking and laughing at her when she begged for her life. I had already killed her husband and was about killing her when she started begging. The next flash I saw next in my dream was her blood soaked all over me. I remember grabbing her from the neck and then devouring her. 

"No! No…No." I screamed out of my sleep, shaking. I could feel sweat beads running through my whole body. Then a sudden headache, that I just couldn't explain. As I stood up to go to the bathroom to pour water on my head, I heard a knock." Who ?" I say . " It's me boss.. Akira." She says to me. " Can I come in?" Akira ask me. I froze and quickly got a grip of myself." Give me few seconds, let me put on my trousers." I say to Akira. " Okay boss.. Take your time." Akira say to me.

I quickly got into the shower after I had taken off my clothes. I let the water drip down my head and my whole body. I immediately got out of the shower grabbing my towel." One minute..please." I say to Akira again, stalling her. I put on my black trousers and wore an unbuttoned grey shirt. Exposing my chest and six packs. I turned the door knob to open the door finally. " You need to see the plan and birthday preparations we have for you." Akira say to me as she walks into my room, I'm excitement. 

"Really? What plans." I say to Akira. "It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you, would it?" Akira gives me a naughty look. I have never seen a hard-working lady like Akira. Indeed Africans are hard-working and give their best into anything they do. I thought to myself as I stated at her. 

"Okay then! I can't wait to see the surprise." I laugh as I sat on a couch close to my bed. "Care for a glass of  red wine?" Akira say to me, going towards the winery in my room to get a bottle." Yes! I'd love some." I responded back to her question.

Akira began to pour the red wine into two glasses that rested on the wine shelf. " You got it right? " She say to me. " Got what?" I ask Akira, confused. "The note..I dropped it here before going." Akira say to me. "Wait a second. Was the note in a brown envelope?" I ask Akira. "Offcourse! A lady from the airport came and gave it to me." Akira say to me. 

It looked like my wish was about to come through. " Is it the CEO of Gen'sGen Airport?" I ask Akira, anxiously waiting for her to say yes. " Oh no!.. it was a different lady. She said she was sent to deliver the note to you." Akira replied back to me. "She couldn't even come herself." I say to myself. "Excuse me...Did you say something." Akira ask me. "Oh no! I coughed that's all." I say to Akira.

Well she didn't buy it. She is too smart for that. " Where you expecting it to be from Genevieve?" She ask me. Akira figured it out. She knew I was hoping to see Genevieve." Where is Carly?" I ask Akira. Paying a deaf ear to her question. "Carly.. Well I thought she came up to your room this morning after I left?" Akira say to me, giving a puzzled look.
