Narika: The Ghost Bride-Chapter 38 - Thirty-Eight: His Secret.

He was really trying to keep it cool, to not mind the fact that Jason Ivanov, was just two seats away from him and it’s the only thing that is going to cost him, from giving him a hard punch was to push the middle men between them.

But he had to coordinate himself, that’s what his campaign strategist, George,had given him quite a sermon, about trying all means to not show that he had something ongoing with Jason.

But it wasn’t that easy as he expected, their story might be old but definitely everyone knew about what had happened between their children, and their death.

The conference was the only important thing, that is making him behave but when he turned to his left, and saw Jason roll his eyes at him, he lost it.

"Fool," He cursed under his breath, but his partners beside him looked up at him instantly, did he hear his words?

"Excuse me?" He asked, smacking his lips together while trying to get a needed explanation from Alex, for calling him a fool.

But as usual, cocky Alex Singh, didn’t bother himself with doing anything other than to pay attention to the conference, which ended much sooner than he had expected.

Everyone was seen exchanging pleasantries, but both Alex and Jason would rather have their hands chopped off than to touch one another.

The two had been best friends since highschool, but Alex had ruined that friendship while they were graduating from college by pushing Jason’s brother to his death.

No explaination was in cue as to why exactly he did that, if anything the investigation that was done had somehow worked in Alex’s favor, claiming his brother’s death to be more of a suicide than attempted murder.

Not only was that the starting point of their brotherhood, being broken between both men. Alex was a die-hard womanizer who had tried to take Marilyn from him.

So, one could see that this wasn’t just any normal conflict between both men, but the hatred runs deep in their blood. Especially Alex, who wanted nothing to end him, his daughter and have Marilyn to himself.

Afterall, Marilyn knew Jason through him. Jason was the lucky one, who had a very comfortable life starting off with rich parents, who provided him for whatever he wanted.

While he was nothing but a street boy who found favor, in the eyes of his parents who took him in as their child.

Alex watched Jason leave the hall without looking back at him, not that he was expecting him to come up to him and try to get him pissed off.

No, that was more of him doing that. Jason does talk much, but that doesn’t mean that he’s not smart. But did he care? No, not at all.

In the end, it would end up with him being the president of Country A, and he would be nothing but a pawn for him, just like his useless brother abused him while he was in their guidance.

"We need to leave now sir," George said to him, standing beside him and watching his arch enemy leave without any drama between the two.

"Let’s go,"Alex said under his breath before they left for where his car was parked, they were supposed to head home but when he realized that he had something much more important to do.

He sat up in the car seat, and tugged free his tie, while George noticed his uneasiness and was worried.

"Are you okay sir, you look stressed?’’He asked, moving for the can of water and passed it over to him, which he took from him.

"I’m fine, but you need to leave."He said, looking into George’s confused eyes that didn’t read any meaning into what he just said.

He didn’t trust him..no! Alex doesn’t do the trust thing, that’s for weak people. The only thing he trusts is himself and his money. Human being is a complicated kind, and he can’t bear to make the mistake of having him, follow him to where he was about to go.

"What?" He smacked his lips, watching the way Alex glared at him daring him to make him repeat himself again.

"I have an appointment, so this is where you go," He said, before looking at the front mirror."Jay?" He called his driver, who knew what he was trying to say and stopped the car immediately. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

The car was opened from outside, and George turned to see Cain standing outside with that creepy look on his face that made him gulp in fear before he obediently stood up, and left the car.

"Have a nice day sir," He bowed to Alex, who waved him off with his hand before Cain entered into the car, taking his former position and they drove off without checking on him again.

"I would need you to keep a good eye on him, he’s starting to sound like a sissy." Alex told Cain, who twirled his per knife in his hands, before nodding at his boss.

"Adrian?" He asked about his son, to which Cain stopped playing with the knife and turned to him with a serious look on his face.

"He left for the penthouse, he’s there with Camile."Cain reported back, and watched Ajex let out a frustrating grunt but he said nothing more when their car pulled up into a deserted area, that not even a normal person who had imagined that there was a road between these deserted areas.

They drove in silence, pasting through thick forest until a building that he owned showed up in front of them.

"Are you okay sir, this is the first time after so many years?" Cain asked, when he saw how nervous he was getting.

"I’m fine," Alex said with a cold , stoic face, before the car door was opened for him and he came down to see some of his men standing in a straight line, in an approach to welcome him.

He looked around the area, just so he could check if there was anything odd about the environment since it’s been a long time since he was here.

He had to take extra measures, to make sure this place was kept a secret from people, the only person who knew about this place was Cain and Cain is someone who would lay down his life for him.

The other of his men who were here were mute, and not so relevant because he will get rid of them once they have served their purpose here.

"Mr. Singh," Doctor Max made his presence known to him, with a bow to show his respect to him." I didn’t know you would be coming quite this early."

"Is something wrong?" Alex asked, with raised brow looking at the man who jerked where he stood in fear of his life.

"Of .. ofcourse not, everything is under control. This way please," He ushered him into a room more like a hospital ward.

Alex stood by the door, with his hands palmed before taking slow careful steps to where he heard the heart monitor going off, showing the figure lying down on the bed.

Cain stood by the door, preventing anyone but the doctor from coming in. Whereas, Alex tried everything as much not to break her down at the sight in front of him.

There...lying on the bed, was his girl.

"My dear Polina."
