Narika: The Ghost Bride-Chapter 76 - Seventy-Six: Let Her Go!

Suncity, Mainland.

Singh Family House.

~~~

Alex was on call with the current Senate president of the country,his face was countered in annoyance and one could see that he had no respect for the titled man. Rather, he had to pretend to be on his best behavior, so that he could find favors in his eyes.

Jason Ivanov is proving to be a stubborn competitor, and it was only right that he stepped up on his game, and have enough connections for the upcoming election that is three months away.

Three months!

It’s just three months then he would go back to being himself, but as of now he had to put on a fake act so that he won’t be disappointed in the long run.

His shoulders sagged in exhaustion when the Senate president cut the call on him. He had an upcoming campaign in some useless town, not far away from the city but according to his campaign strategist. Tomorrow town was the perfect place to hold the next campaign.

Although, he hasn’t had enough time to check out his files about the town. But he was sure that there’s nothing special about the town. It would always come to the term that they lacked basic amenities like waater, electricity, school bla bla bla...the rest they are awaiting a savior that would do all that for them.

It wouldn’t be funny after all his pretense, and having to put up with peasants feeding him with their dirty hands in public just to appear as the ’ man of the people ’ that he loses in this political race.

If that happens, Alex is sure that blood would flow. The Moon would turn red. It would illustrate the red blood of people that would have to go down,especially Jason Ivanov who had proven to be a thorn in his flesh.

The Senate president had already sworn his loyalty to him, making him appear stupid for having sent his men to deliver the best wine he had shipped abroad to his place, as a sort of welcome back from his vacation in Paris.

He had been insulted by his refusal to accept his gift, and Cain with the others had to turn around and shamefully come back with the gifts.

It hurt his ego. But he did nothing. Nor that he didn’t know what to do, but it wasn’t the time for that. He can’t have attention being drawn to him especially with the president son’s birthday tomorrow.

This is where Adrian comes in, because he’s not stepping his foot in there. The birthday invite had been sent over to him by the president, but he knew that the only ones that would be there would be the children of the elites.

Vanessa Ivanov was sure to be there, likewise Adrian who would be gracing the event too and making himself known to her. He ought to make her fall for him. He can’t have a useless son who knows nothing but handle only his legit business.

Adrian chose him when Nelson, his first son. The main person who was supposed to be fighting alongside abandoned him. So, now is the time for him to prove his worth to him.

He wondered what exactly was still holding him up at work, if anything he’s supposed to be back since his bitch was still up there crying her eyes, and pleading for him to let him go.

Camille was a pretty woman, he wouldn’t lie. His son has an eye for good things, but his problem was her family background. He can’t have the only son he’s got to end up like his other son.

The motherfucker was probably regretting why he left him, although Nelson has always been stubborn just like him. He won’t be surprised to find him working as a cleaner, since he blacklisted his name in the state. No company would ever want to accept him as long as he’s in Suncity.

"Idiot!" Alex muttered under his breath, before he tossed his phone on his table and ran his right hand down as it slide down his face.

He went for his cigarette that was on the tray, doing so made him notice the figure that was in here with him too.

Cain.

"What the fuck you been sneaking behind my back for?" Alex hollered at him with raised brow, he didn’t even hear him knock ok the door.

"I’m sorry boss, I did knock but you seem to not hear it." Cain said, before he came closer to where he was and took the drink up from the table, and poured a drink into the glass Alex held out to him.

"About the senate president, what do you suggest we do to him?" Alex asked him, with deep hooded eyes as he saw Cain’s jaw tighten at the mention of the Senator.

"Decapitate his head from his body, and send it as a present to his wife and children." Cain suggested, a cruel smile gracing his lips.

Alex wouldn’t say that he isn’t impressed with his suggestion, but doing that so soon would attract unnecessary attention to him right now. It was very obvious that the senate president isn’t in support of their party, and ofcourse him.

It’s all about Jason!

He had walked into his office yesterday, and killed one of his workers who had mentioned the motherfuckers name to the other workers. He was singing his praise because of the private hospital he had built and donated to social services.

He walked up to Cain, and patted his shoulder." Not yet, we can’t risk bearing the blame for his death right now."

"The job would be clean," Cain still insisted, even when he said that there’s no need for that right now."There will be no traces of.."

"That’s enough Cain!" Alex shut him up for good, his eyes glaring at him.

"I’m sorry boss." He apologized immediately.

"What’s important right now, is making sure that Adrian goes to that party tomorrow, and meets Vanessa. But he’s not back home yet, have you seen him today?" Alex asked him, but Cain shaked his head in denial.

"Fuck!" Alex muttered, dropping the glass of wine on top of his table. While Cain’s eyes followed his every movement.

Cain knew that it wasn’t in his place to tell him what to do with his son, but it was very obvious that his boss hadn’t noticed something strange about him.

"Actually there’s..." Cain tried to tell him what he observed from Adrian, but a loud scream made the both of them turn their head to where it came from.

The sitting room.

Camille was screaming like some fucking banshee, adding another headache atop of the stress Alex was going through.

"That wench!" Alex spat, and was out of the door before Cain could suggest to him to seat back while he goes out to check what’s wrong.

When the both walked into the room, they saw Camille in a pool of blood, she was holding a knife in her hand, while one of his men laid face flat on the floor, probably dead.

Zack, one of his guards, had his gun pointed at her shivering figure. She was shocked upon killing one of his men..

"What happened here?" Cain was the first to ask.

"From the look of things, it seems she was trying to escape and Zuyuki tried to stop her. She killed him," Zack explained, he was a little bit scared of what Alex might do to him for not shooting at her so soon.

"I didn’t kill him, Camille kept muttering to herself, but that made Alex more than angry. He didn’t want any liabilities right now, and Camille was one. She just killed one of his men but the motherfucker was a weakling to die at the hands of a woman.

He wasted no time, and walked up to where Camille’s sat and dragged her up by her arm. She let another ear piercing scream that made him more than angry.

More than angry that he raised his hands up to slap her, but the hand never came down. Rather it was held by another person’s grip. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"What the ..m" Alex uttered, turning to see who it was that dared to hold him. Lo, and behold it was the man of the moment, who he has been waiting for.

"Let her go!" Adrian yelled!
