IT NEVER STARTED WITH LOVE

03: THE DINNER DATE II

I drove down to the park immediately we got to "Continental spree".

We are here Sweetie! I announced

Wow!! so quick she asked feeling all excited

Yeah honey! so quick I replied and came out of the car while she followed suit

Alex! wait! I think I wouldn't be able to go in because all eyes would be on us, she said

Ruth don't worry about that, I'm going to take care of it. I assured and held her hand as we continued heading to the restaurant's direction

We didn't even walk anything further from my car, before we started gaining attention from passerbys and people that hung around the restaurant premises

The famous ruthless son of one of the top billionaires of the society, is being seen with another hot looking high class model from Europe in a range of a week after he was seen earlier that week with a beautiful model from Asia in the country's presidential hotel in the capital, which later got rumored the next day that he discarded and dump the top model miserably in a video that he posted online, which went viral and is still trending up to date, people thought as they got shocked and started taking pictures and videos of Alexander Darkerman and his date Ruth Romans, the famous top model from Europe.. Anyone that got a news about him and gets to be the one to first upload it to different media news blog online, gets rewarded handsomely by those media blogs that always wanted any form of news about him as it gives them lots of money when printed, or posted online. because people are always after any news that pertains him.

Alex! people are taking pictures and videos of us Ruth said as she walked alongside with Alex feeling nervous

That's what they are supposed to do as commoners who worship us, you don't have to care about that, they can only take pictures and videos but can't change our personalities; i got you okay?. Have you forgotten who I am so easily? i move mountains in a matter of seconds Alex assured, which made Ruth quieten down as they approached the entrance of the restaurant.

All the waiters abandoned what they were doing immediately they sighted Alexander coming towards the restaurant and lined up, this caused an uproar in the restaurant as the all the customers that was being served was abandoned and left to attend to themselves.

Good evening sir, all the waiters chorused

Where is your manager? Alex inquired as he stood at the front of the lined up waiters feeling like a god

He is in his office one of the waiters replied

Go notify him that I'm here and be quick about it, I want to see him here before it gets to five minutes Alex commanded which made the waiter to speed to the nearest lift as the office of their manager, was located at the top of the restaurant's building, while another waiter offered him and the beautiful hot lady that came with him, his usual VIP chairs which was made with Gold and resembled a king's throne.

All eyes fell on Alex, as he sat majestically one of the chairs and signaled Ruth Romans to seat on the next one besides him as if the world revolved around them.

All the ladies in the restaurant started blushing and giggling, as they couldn't get enough of looking at him while some took pictures and videos

Who is that that seemed to get so much attention from everyone like a king immediately he walked in Anna asked Gabriel

That's Alexander Darkerman Gabriel replied

Oh my God! it's the first time I am seeing him in person, he actually looked the way he was described as; tall, muscular, and devilishly handsome with a blonde hair and sexy looking slanted deep blue eyes that you could get lost in.. He is so georgeous, no wonder Christy said it's him or no one else.. I wish I could wake up in the hands of this kind of a god everyday Anna said in order to get Gabriel jealous

What are you trying to say? Annabel! are you also drooling over that devil Gabriel asked getting annoyed

Oh! no! I'm not, i just wanted to tease you, Anna immediately confessed as she noticed that Gabriel has become angry,he called her by her name, he only called her by her name whenever he is angry

Seriously Annabel

Yeah babe! I was only joking please, Anna pleaded and hugged Gabriel's shoulder.

It's alright babe! but there are some kind of things you ain't supposed to joke with, Gabriel replied and gritted his teeth as anger and hatred for Alexander coarsed all over him.

I'm sorry babe! I wouldn't do such again, Anna said and kissed Gabriel which he responded to..

The sound of a slap echoed in the restaurant which jolted Gabriel and Anna out of their kiss, making them aware of their environment, as they were lost in the kiss; they used their eyes and traced the direction where the slap came from, and saw the manager holding his cheek as tears brimmed down from his eyes which left everyone's mouth forming an "O" in shock

....

I was chilling in my office with a bottle of whiskey and listening to Chris brown's collection of songs, before someone knocked on my door..

Who wants to disturb my peace and leisure I asked

It's Oliver! sir! someone said from the door.

What do you want? Didn't I strictly warn all of you to never come knocking my door for any reason, during my leisure period I thundered with rage.

You said so sir! but someone is asking for your presence in the restaurant, Oliver replied with an uneasiness I felt it in his tone of speaking

Who is the bastard that wants to see me? Doesn't he know that I do have leisure period huh? infact go and tell that person that I cannot come out of my office I commanded

I can't sir Oliver replied

Are you not in your right senses? why can't you go and relate my message? I asked with anger as I felt challenged and disobeyed.

Because it is just not a no one sir! but Mr Alexander Darkerman Oliver dropped the bombshell

Oh my God! oh my God!! I internally screamed in me and held my chest, as I nearly got a heart attack and slumped to the floor.

What is the devil doing at my restaurant today? What does he want? what brought him here? I asked myself and nearly urinated on myself as the cold murder of my beloved friend Alfred recapped in my memory.. The warnings and threats I received that day resounded in my ears..

If you tell anyone about this, you would be killed; I spared you because of something which would one day come up when I need your services, but nevertheless pray we don't cross paths again until then, Alexander warned after killing my best friend at my face, inside an underworld dungeon that we got placed in which all came back flashing into my memory.

Sir! Sir!! are you therem Oliver asked in a panic

Yes I replied hoarsely as I had already lost my voice,

Go tell him I am coming right away i said which made him leave

Should I run away to avoid meeting him, as I am not sure he came here because he needs me yet, i contemplated pacing up and down in my office..

No! what if he has actually came to look for me because he needs my service now, and even if I run away to avoid meeting him, i would be found and it might not end well, I said again to myself as I continued pacing up and down in my office.

I'm scared I said to myself as I felt a tear drop from my eyes

Go meet him and know what he wants first, before you conclude an inner voice in me advised

No! you don't have to! you don't know if you will be killed as he warned you that you should pray that you never cross paths with him until he asks for your services, if he wanted your services as he said he would someday, he would invite you over because he is too proud to go visit someone he is higher than in his/her office; now you still have the chance, escape through the back exit and run to another country, or rather kill yourself before he finds you; as it would be better you kill yourself, before he catches you and does.. Can you receive tortures that would lead you to death? Can you bear the pains from the burns of hot melted iron when poured on your skin? Remember what happened to Alfred your best friend, you witnessed everything until he died.. He couldn't bear the pains from the tortures being melted on him, my second inner voice said which made shivers to run down my spine.

Don't listen to him, people are there, he wouldn't do anything to you in the public, my first inner voice advised which I obliged to and headed outside to the restaurant to meet him
