Burning Heart

Chapter 3: Alexander Stone

IN THE STONE AGES ENTERPRISES.

The entire company was enshrouded in darkness and silence with just the occasional clicking of keyboards bouncing off the walls.

The door opened as approaching footsteps were heard. "If you ask me Alexander I would say you should retire for the night…remember what Dr Drake said-" Ethan's words were cut shut when his eyes met Alexander's glaring ones.

" What did you find," Alexander asked after a long starting battle while standing up and picking up his blazer from the hanger to the side before striding towards the door while Ethan followed suit.

" Nothing interesting…just a poor family. See I told you she wasn't a spy. Spies don't act like rabbits." Ethan pointed out as he clicked on the button to open up the elevator.

"Hmmm," That was the only reply Alexander gave as he drummed his fingers on his lap as the elevator descended.

"The only thing I found weird was how ugly she makes herself out to be and I still think what happened was too harsh on her…she was a virgin." Ethan mused as they both walked out of the elevator into their underground parking lot.

"Since when did you feel for them? Alexander questioned with a cold look in his eyes.

Just then there was a fast whooshing sound, Alexander's eyes twitched as he ducked down in fast moves with Ethan following suit.

In one swift movement, Alexander brought out the black pistol that had always been hidden in his belt as he fired a shot back in the direction the first bullet came from.

"Can't these motherfuckers just rest for one day? My crocodiles are as round as balls right now and can't eat so much." Ethan muttered out in annoyance as he too fired in the direction of the shooter all the while using a car In front of him as a shield.

While Ethan was still complaining Alexander stalked forward slowly to where the hitman hid behind another car and stuck. In one swift move, he swung his hand at the same time firing a shot that hit the unaware man straight in the forehead.

"Dispose of the body," Alexander ordered as he hoisted the gun back in his belt.

"What do I do with you now?" Ethan muttered as he stared at the dead body of a huge man with a black mask covering his features while Alexander drove away.

In Alexander's mansion.

"Alexander! Alexander!!" A high-pitched voice of a middle-aged young woman resonated through the night shattering the calm silence of the cloaked night.

" Young miss, you have to leave Mr Alexander does not want to be disturbed." A ruffled voice of a man tried to quiet down the screaming female with a calm face.

" You have to let me through, I have been Mr. Alexander's girlfriend for four years! I have the right to see him wherever I want!" Breathing hard the swan-like screaming beauty stomped around on her heels to once again face the looming large balcony.

" You should go now before you wake Mr Alexander, young miss." Ethan tried convincing her as his left eye twitched at her childish behavior.

" Alexander!!!!" Her scream this time was louder making Ethan behind her flinch a bit and one would wonder how her fragile frame was able to produce enough energy for her shout.

Through the balcony where the commotion was taking place was a very large room filled with darkness. It was very hard to determine the length of the room as the darkness made it hard to determine the beginning or the end.

The only source of light in the room was a flickering candlelight that had melted to the last and was fighting for life.

The soft rustle of the sheets signified the existence of someone in the room.

Only when one pays close attention will they spot the striking cold sharp features of a masculine feature with sharp eyes closed and guarded by the fall of full lush lashes.

The sharp milky white skin of his face was the only thing that was visible in the night.

The eyes of the man snapped open revealing cold distant striking blue eyes, freezing in looks with sharp features.

Like a gracious god, Alexander slowly sat up on the bed, distorting the flow of darkness in the room. The all-midnight black pajamas he was putting on made it look like his head was floating due to how perfectly blended his outfit was with his surroundings.

With swift steps that made no sound, he padded swiftly and graciously toward to balcony in the distance.

With slender pale fingers, he pushed the sliding door open, and in came the blast of cold air, Alexander didn't seem even a bit disturbed by it.

"Oh, there you are Alex!! What kind of staff do you keep? I have been waiting out in the cold calling out to you because your butter didn't allow me in, I think I'm going to be sick Alex"

The lady cried out as her face flushed upon locking gaze with Alexander who stood towering on the balcony with his hands behind his back and the first three buttons of his clothes open revealing a peek of pale smooth ripped muscles while Ethan just cringed at what he was called.

"What brings you here Bianca?" Alexander asked instead brushing aside her complaints like it was nothing.

She let out a smile of happiness when Alexander replied to her. Most of the time she was always the one doing all the talking in their relationship so she was really happy he said someone to her.

"Tell your Butler to let me in Alex, I am freezing…" the lady purred as she rubbed over her arms with her free hand as the other held a nylon bag.

But instead of Alexander doing as Binaca had asked, his entire demeanor changed as his features became colder, even affecting the surroundings.

's**t! What have I done? Did I just give an order to Alexander?…' Bianca panicked as she thought up ways to correct her wrongdoings before Alexander ordered her out.
