Meeting Mr Ice

Jane walked towards the forbidden building with a clenched fist. She looked scared at first but that didn't stop her curiosity about looking into the building she had been forbidden to reach. She looked back to see if any of the men were around to know of her sudden disappearance but nobody seemed to know since the alarm bells hadn't rung. She breathed out heavily and touched the doorknob but before she could twist it open, her hand was yanked off it and she was pushed backward. She looked up only to meet the face of one person she had been trying to avoid. Allen stared coldly at the woman in front of him and stepped forward like a lion trying to stalk its prey. Jane looked terrified and gulped down with uneasiness. " What are you doing here? " Allen asked with his usual cold tone. " I was...uhm...just... " " Haven't I warned you not to step closer to this building huh? But it seems you are the stubborn pet. " Allen interrupted while continuing his walk towards her. " No...no, I was just being curious, that's all. " Jane replied as her back hit the wall. Allen trapped her in between. " Have you ever heard that curiosity kills the cat? " Allen smirked dangerously and Jane knew that she was in a long torture for the night. ______________ Don't miss out on this book. You will love it.

WHAT DOES MY HUSBAND LOOK LIKE?

Kyle did not say a word until they arrived at Allen's mansion. If Old Madam Ryan's mansion was big then this mansion was super huge than anything she could have ever imagined. Though she wasn't the religious type, she also heard that if you build a whole building on this Earth, you can only sleep in a room designed only for you. Her mysterious husband's status must be high.

Kyle peeped at the rearview mirror for the second time, the look of admiration that Jane had on her face was pleasing to see. He did a roundabout following the area of a garden filled with different types of flowers before he parked the car in an allocated area, the garage.

He quickly got out of the car but before he could rush over to open the door like he closed it earlier, Jane had already gotten out of it.

" Whoa. "

She wondered that maybe going for the contract wasn't really bad. Since it was dark already, she could hardly see the exterior designs in the compound but she assured herself that tomorrow was going to be a brand new day.

" Please, come with me. " Kyle directed her in and she was flabbergasted. So the saying is true that when you get to an inexperienced level, you begin to behave like an inexperienced fellow too. She looked around as she followed Kyle in, she did notice something, the whole inner decorations were a little bit dull and she notices that there were no pictures hung on the wall as she passed through.

" I would have loved to give you a tour but it is late now and I don't want to be scolded by your husband. " Kyle said simply with a straight face.

" Thank you but can I ask you a few questions? " Jane said.

" If it isn't against my ethics then I will answer. " Kyle replied.

" Why isn't there any picture hung on the wall? Maybe that of Allen? " She asked. Saying his name was supposedly interesting to her but it wasn't time to think about it.

" Your husband only has the right to tell you that. Let me direct you to your room for the night. " He said as they began to climb the stairs.

" What do you mean by for the night? " Jane asked again.

" That is the room that you are expected to sleep in for only tonight. " Kyle answered.

" What about the rest of the nights? Where do I sleep? " Jane asked and Kyle's face turned rigid, whosoever this girl was her occupation should have been that of an Esquire and not a cute cupcake face at the age of twenty five, damn it!

He stopped walking and gave her a brief look.

" With your husband. " He answered plainly.

" That is if he does not chase you out. " He added and continued walking.

' Chase me out? ' This phrase confused Jane a bit and was suddenly giving her ideas that weren't ought to happen. But then she wondered why the man leading her seemed to be quite annoyed with her.

They got to a door and Kyle handed over the keys to her.

" When you are done bathing, come downstairs for dinner. " Kyle left after that.

Jane stared at the door which had a security lock that required a passcode and then she glanced at the keys. She thrusts it into the hole, twisted it and unlocked the door. She entered and closed the door thereafter.

The first step she took was to jump on the bouncy thing in the room, a wide comfortable bed that could allow four persons to sleep on it. It felt like she was in paradise as her bones cracked on its own due to the stretching. The whole room was cold due to the turned on AC that she didn't know when she slept off.

Five minutes into her feel sleep, the lights in her room went off and then turned on again but it started blinking. Her tip of her hair turned red slightly and the lights bounced back normally.

______________

Two men sat on the chair as they watched Allen pace to and fro in the room awaiting Kyle's return. It's been thirty minutes since he arrived and Bert already sent him a message to come to the building. Allen's eyes darted towards the green bottle on the desk as many thoughts passed through his mind at a fast pace.

Kyle barged in and Bert exhaled.

" Finally. " He mumbled.

" What took you so long? " Xander asked his brother.

" I was expecting Allen's wife to come downstairs for dinner after bathing. I waited so long and only got to find out that she is asleep. " Kyle narrated his experience while Xander chuckled.

" She is more of the questionnaire. " Kyle added before sitting down.

Allen showed them the green bottle and threw it towards Kyle who caught it reflectively and looked at the content. His eyes turned dull right that instant.

" Where did you get this from? " Xander asked.

" The basement. "

" But...it...it does not belong to us. " Kyle said.

" Yes, it isn't ours. When I got there, he was already killed by someone who used this on him. "

" So someone else was tailing our victim? " Bert asked and Allen nodded.

" If this could kill him then... " Kyle's eyes were opened in wide imagination.

" Stop thinking nonsense! "

" How can you tell me to stop thinking nonsense, Allen. He was killed...by this thing! I will soon be gone!" Kyle retorted. Xander held his hands and looked at him sternly.

" Can you at least get a grip of yourself? " He said and Kyle jerked his hand from Xander's hold.

" We can't come to any conclusion yet until we know what is going on and for this, Bert, I need you to send for Drake this week. We need him here and if he comes late, I will cut off the rest of his four fingers. " Allen instructed.

" Yes, boss. "

Allen's eyes darted towards the tunnel,

" We need to do something as quick as possible before they blast in fully. " He said.
