The Ones He loves

Ander has seen skyscrapers in movies and this is more like what the building looks like but a petty look of a skyscraper so he would say it is a mansion, the only thing is that the architectural work looks more like a skyscraper building than that of a mansion. But the building could be a skyscraper or a mansion, whichever one it is, it has got the look and it is beautifully built and he can't wait to explore the mansion after he might have met his sister.
He looked below his feet and found the floor to be interlocked, it was cool to him. Money is definitely good.
He was lost for words on how to describe the view in front of him, it was something born out of a movie and he was finding it surprising to be there and the most surprising thing to him is how come his sister landed herself with someone who has got this kind of money and what happened to the relationship between her and uncle Luke.
"This is not the sister he knows."
He thought.
She never mentioned anything which makes this thing not so right, he had glanced at his phone throughout the ride waiting for a call from his sister but it never came. It's unusual, she was supposed to call and tell him not to worry that she is safe.
Silas got his backpack out of the car and was surprised to see the worried look on the young man's face. That was so fast, not quite long ago, his face was radiating with happiness and now, Silas knew right away that he was worried about his sister.
"You don't have to be like this, your sister is fine. At the moment she would not be able to get to you but will do so in due time, just trust me, she is fine"
Silas assured Ander who sighed and nodded his head. He will just have to wait and see how things unfold.
The only thing more surprising to him is that he is calm in all of these but why worry when he's probably going to see her in a few seconds?
Silas led the way and he followed but stopped when they took about four steps.
Silas's words hit him, it was then he understood what he said. If he said she will call in due time then it means his sister is not at the mansion at the moment
"Sir, you sound as if my sister is not here?"
He asked and Silas stopped in his track and turned back to see the young man far behind him, the boy has not been following him all along
"No she is not, she is out the other mansion, be rest assured she would come and see you when the time comes, some things are unexplainable"
He replied to the young man who stared at him in disbelief, why did he not say so since? He has been so eager to come and meet his sister, now this but in all of these, Ander found out that he is trusting the man with his words which is a rare thing for him to do, he does not trust easily. The only people he trusts are Jarden and his big sis.
He shrugged his shoulders and walked up to him, together then went into the mansion.
Silas while on their way has gotten a call from Senior Bleak, he had warned him seriously not to bring the young man to the main mansion so he had brought him here to the Bleak Mansion outside the town.
Senior Bleak needed to fish out the foxes among the sheep. If not, what happened to Alex might happen to her brother.
His only wish is for Alex to wake up then the wedding will be decided if it will hold or not.
The girl's life is so precious to him. He hates it when the one he cares about is afflicted more, heaven helps this soul that did this unforgivable act because he has not got the right punishment for him or her but he knows his punishment is not just a punishment, it will leave a scar in your heart that whenever you remember it, you will remember that you have sinned against him.
People just do things without thinking about the repercussions and they will be quick to ask you to temper justice with mercy which to him is medicine after death because Senior Bleak doesn't take it easy with anyone, so you know.
***********
Jude the second driver whom Senior Bleak had called to come to pick him up, arrived in less than a few minutes at the Grey's Hospital.
A smile was far from his employer's face and he shuddered in fear. Jude repeatedly asked himself who provoked the old man because he can tell the person might not escape the wrath of his employer. He just pities the damned person.
Senior Bleak acknowledged his greetings and went straight into the car and they left almost immediately.
Senior Bleak was fuming seriously in the car and Jude feared for his life. He just has to drive carefully in order not to fall into the trap that was already set.
He had prayed countless times until they got to the mansion and Senior Bleak stepped out of the car, he then released the air he had been holding since.
"What a relief?"
He thought.
Senior Bleak stepped into the mansion and every soul that saw him froze. This is not a side of him that they see every time, what could have made the old man be in that kind of mood? None seems to have an answer to that.
Senior Bleak scans the face of every one of his employees he meets on his way to his room but he finds nothing.
If they could mask their expression, the CCTV camera will help him so he doesn't need to worry.
"Dad!"
He turned and saw his Son scanning him with a worried look.
"I came to your room a few moments ago but I could not find you, where did you go?"
"Son I went to take care of something, I am back now so whatever you want to tell me please check on me in a few minutes, there is something I need to see to right now"
Senior Bleak said and his son nodded his head.
" Alright, I will just check you in a few minutes then….."
Senior Bleak did not wait for him to get done talking and left him with some of his words hanging.
JB thought
"This father of his is something else"
He walked into his bedroom and shut the door.
Luke who was by the corner watching the duo could not make out what they were saying but from the look of things, his grandfather is not happy. Maybe he has got the news of the priest missing.
He smiled,
"I have not started yet. By the time I am done, Alex will have no option but to run to me."
