Chapter Two

My heart skipped a beat as I fumbled for a reply, unsure of what to say.

I knew he wasn't going to allow me to stay any longer, I should have been smarter enough to have made sure I did this when he wasn't around, but how do I get his key? He was staring at me with a look of suspicion.

My heart raced as I tried to come up with an excuse, this the best thing I could do, and what do I even say.

"Do you not hear me? Why are you checking my drawer?" He shouted.

"I...I... I am looking for money, I need money to pay my sister's hospital bills, I am sorry" I lied.

"Really? Are you not Rachel Wilson? Do you think I will allow you to stay here without knowing one or two things about you? What are you doing here?"

"You know me? If you know me you will know I have a sister, a younger sister, she is the reason I signed the contract, I thought after the contract I would be given an huge amount"

"Alright, you can go now, come back tomorrow, and I will give you the money you need for your sister's hospital bills"

I nodded and left for my room.

"Is this guy smarter than I am? He saw me checking his drawer and he allowed me to leave? Is he playing me or was that his thought?" The thought filled my heart, and I was totally confused.

"Is the sleeping drug fake? Because I don't understand he was meant to sleep for eight hours and above"

I was so dissapointed , that I hardly slept. I closed my eyes but found it hard to sleep, my heart was pounding fast, because I was unsure of what he had in mind to do. Maybe tomorrow he is planning to send me out of his house, I don't know, I was very worried.

While in deep thought, I slept off.

The next morning, Karina entered my room to wake me.

"Good Morning" Karina greeted.

I stretched up my body and replied her, "Good Morning"

"I am sorry for waking you up, your food is ready"

"Thank you, but please as Alexander went to the office?"

"No, not yet, but he will be out soon, he usually goes to office at 8:00am"

"Can I just come to eat dinner after he had left? I do not want to see him please, can you help me with that?" I said, my body still shaking, it was obvious that I wasn't fine, what happened yesterday was still on my mind and I do not know what exactly he might be thinking of.

I took my phone and called Isabella.

"Hello Isabella, how are you doing?" I said as she picked.

"I am fine, how was your night? Hope no problem" She asked. I am sure she can felt that there was an issue somewhere.

"I am not fine Isabella, I guess he knows what I am up to"

"What do you mean by he knows what you are up to? Do you allow him know what exactly happened?"

"Luckily for me, I had access to Alexander room, I gave him a drink and mix it with a drug to make him sleep for hours, he slept and I decided to check his room if there's anything I can see to hold against him but he woke up immediately"

"What? Does he catch you checking? What did you say then?"

"I told him I wanted to steal, that I was searching for money in other to pay for my sister's bill"

"Did he believe you?"

"That is what I am not sure of, wait please, I just received a mail on my phone, let me go through it"

"Okay, read it out"

"Hello Miss Rachel, I know what you have been looking for, I am aware of the reason you are at his house, I also have the same mission with you, I hope we can work together, reply my message if you care to know me"

"What? Who sent you this? Who sent that mail? So we are not the only people willing to go miles to know the secret behind this man's wealth? I mean everyone wants to know that but I don't know they are ready to go miles too"

"Do you think someone else know about it? Only you knew about this, then who would have sent this mail? Don't let us be deceived, this guy sent this, Alexander is behind this, he wants to know if I am after him or I just came here to sign the contract for signing sake, we need to be very careful Isabella, I hope this will not let us end in jail"

"Do you think that rich men have the time to do that? Did he know your mail? Is own is to make them sign contract, flirt with ladies and travel, I just think we are not the only one willing to do anything to know his secret, be rest assured, message the man and be very smart while dealing with him, don't state the reason you are staying with Alexander now, just tell him that you care to know him, and what is the mail?"

"Anonymouspolice@gmail.com"

"Anonymous Police and Anonymous Journalist, this guy will end in jail, isn't that obvious?"

"He will, but I am beginning to get scared"

"The Rachel I know is courageous, strong and brave"

"Thank…" She was still talking when someone distracted her "I will call you back Isabella" She hung up.

"Huh?"

Just then, Alexander went to her room putting on his black suit, black shoe, black tie, he was looking so sexy that I couldn't stop staring at him.

"Huh, are you fine?" He said after noticing I was starting at him

"You are handsome" I didn't even know when I said that because I couldn't deny it.

I moved closer to him, and I couldn't get enough of him.

I held his cheek and kissed him passionately.
