TAMING THE TYCOON

CHAPTER 5: YOUNG MASTER

Yiwen finally opens her eyes as she hisses aloud in pains.

"Damn," she curses as she glances around this strange room.

"Where am I?"she wonders as fear grips her. "You're supposed to be on the street", a part of her wonders and just then, the room door flings open and a woman who looks like a cook steps in with a tray of food and bowl of soup in her hands.

"You're awake," the woman utters with a smile on her face as she stares at Yiwen, glaring at her with a questionable look on her face.

"Relax, you're at the right place. Young master brought you here and instructed me to take care of you after giving me a hint of what happened to you yesterday, "the kind looking woman explains with a smile on her face.

"Oh," Yiwen manages to say, feeling a bit relaxed.

Upon recalling the woman's words, Yiwen frowns a bit as she turns to face the woman.

"Wait, I've been sleeping here since yesterday?"Yiwen asks in surprise, and the woman nods with a smile.

"How is that even possible?"Yiwen asks in shock, making the woman have a short laugh.

"Don't be like this, Young master insisted that we give you a d**g to help you sleep. He was considerate enough to know that you might have a hard time after what happened, "the woman explains.

"Quick eat your food. You should also take your bath and get dressed, I've instructed a maid to bring you some clothes. Hurry, the doctor would be here to check on you anytime soon, "the woman utters, drops the tray in her hands, and helps Yiwen to sit properly on the bed.

"Thank you," Yiwen mutters.

"You don't have to, I'm just doing my job," the woman replies with a smile and turns to leave.

"Sorry, but I want to know, is your young master around?"Yiwen asks, making the woman halt from her steps and turn to her with a raised eye.

"Don't get me wrong, I just want to say a word of thanks to him," she cuts in as she quickly adds.

"I know, you just eat your food and don't worry about that, he's not home now, there was an emergency he rushed to handle but he should be back home by noon", the woman says and walks out of the room without waiting to receive any response from Yiwen.

.................MEANWHILE..........................

Alexander, who doesn't want the news of him arriving in the city to reach his parents, finds himself driving to their villa while wondering how the news of his arrival got to them.

As soon as a phone beam, Alexander turns to his driver in anger.

"You should disconnect the call right now if you still love your job," Alexander says with a frown on him.

"Young master...."The driver tries to speak, but Alexander interrupts.

"You won't mind if I pick it for you, would you?", Alexander asks this question that isn't even a question because as soon as he says it, he picks up the phone and answers the call without even bothering to receive any form of response from his driver.

"Finally, Yiwen, it took a long time to get to you. Where in the world are you for goodness damn sake, I'm coming over to pick you up? "The lady at the other end who happens to be Lexia says over the phone. It then dawns on him that this is Yiwen's phone. Was that what his driver was trying to explain to him? He wonders.

"If you care to know where she is, may I at least know your relationship with her?"Alexander utters calmly.

"Hello, Hello Yiwen," the lady mutters, pretending not to hear him.

"If you can't hear me, then you're free to f**k off", Alexander replies in anger.

"Alright alright I'm Lexia by name and Yiwen's best friend. Who are you too?", Lexia inquires.

"She's safe at my place and I'm not with her now. I'll tell her to call you later", Alexander replies intentionally avoiding her last question.

"With all due respect you have answered my q....", Lexia yells but too late, he had already disconnected the call.

"You son of the devil, to hell with you stranger," Lexia yells in annoyance, but guess what, to no one in particular. All that is ringing in her head is

'If you can't hear me, you're free to f**k off' which pierces through her soul more than anything else.

Meanwhile, At De Cave's villa..

"Where's Alexander?",Old George asks as soon as he walks into the palor. "Grandfather we all know Alexander, he never attend meetings like this. Let's just start and end this meeting as soon as possible", Aidan utters in response. "We also know you don't want him in this meeting in the first place you t**t," Delma yells in anger. "Good children, I won't argue over Alexander if i were you", Old George interrupts. "Anyways grand father. I've decided to make you and my mom here proud", Aidan announces, breaking the awkward silence that followed Old George utterance. "Go on," Lucinda, Aidan's mom, utters. "A minute please," Aidan mutters, walking out of the parlor. Upon returning, he walks in with a pure.... beauty. A beautiful lady with a hundred percent fashion sense "Everyone meet the love of my life, Novela", Aidan mutters referring to Novela "Novela my grand father", Aidan adds referring to Old George this time

"Nice to meet you old grandfather, Aidan here has told me lots and lots about you," Novela utters as she walks forward and stretches her hand in an attempt to shake Old George.

"Nice to meet you too," Old George plainly replies, rejecting her already extended hand. "Meet my mum too..."Aidan says, but Novela interrupts.

"Don't ....... let me figure this out myself you told me your mom is the most beautiful woman so i suppose shes the one", she says pointing to Judith, Alexander's mom "Noooo Aidan yells but too late, she had already hugged Judith "Hug my mom tight beauty, of course she's more pretty", Delma utters sarcastically. In anger. Aidan drags Novela away from Judith. "No, not her," he yells. "But you told me..."she mutters. "Forget what I told you, okay?" Aidan interrupts hurriedly.

"Good news, Alexander is here," Delma yells in happiness as soon as she observes his guard, entering into the villa and some of the family villa guards bowing their heads lowly. In hurry, she runs towards the door and rushes to hug Alexander, but unfortunately, his guards block her way. "Tell these fools to leave my way," Delma breaks out in anger. "She's my sister," Alexander utters, and immediately, the guards pave the way for her to pass. "I've missed you, brother," Delma utters, giving Alexander a tight hug. "I'm also glad you're here. Trust me inside is tense, and Delma utters point to the big building. "What's wrong?" Alexander asks with a little smile. "Aidan really brought a woman like he promised up you the last time, and she's such a real-time drama queen," Delma complains.

"Quick, let's go in lest i miss any more of her drama, but please just avoid them. I don't want you to get on grandfather's nerves again. You know how he gets when he's angry, "Delma whispers, though loud enough for him to hear, and together, they walk into the villa.

My mouthpiece is back, "Judith utter in excilement as she hugs Alexander fondly. "I thought you were never going to come. You're really unpredictable, "Aidan scoffs in anger.

"You're free to say you're shocked", Alexander says with a smile that isn't a smile and then walks over to greet Old George by bowing to him and the latter replies by tapping his back three times.

"Aidan." Novela calls out, and everyone, including Alexander, turns to look at her. "You lied to me", She says emotionally. "What.....how?" Aidan asks in shock as he glares at her, turns his gaze back to family, and then turns to her again, waiting for her response.

" You told me you're the cutest, most handsome, and attractive looking young man in this family, but look, he's better," Novela utters to Alexander's greatest surprise. "Novela, stop this nonsense," Aidan yells in anger as her words lands him an indirect slap on his face because the fact is that it's true.

."I like you," Alexander says to everyone's amazement

"Awwn, seriously, i like you too", She replies while blushing.

"I like you because you're truthful," Alexander blunts out.

"And I like you because you are handsome," Novola says shamelessly "Alexander", Aidan calls out in anger.

"Oh, common lover boy, as you can see, I'm innocent here. It's not my fault that I'm too good looking that even someone else's p********e chases after me, "Alexander bursts out, making both Delma and Judith laugh out loud.

"This is more like my brother," Delma proudly whispers to her mom, who nods in response.

"Of course, have you forgotten I raised him myself?" Judith boasts with a smile.

"No, not you, grandfather did," Delma replies, only to meet the evil gaze of her mom.

"At least my blood flow through him," Judith says, making Delma surrender to her.

"Aren't I your type, huh?"Novela asks out of blues almost in tears, making both Judith and Delma turn to her again.

"Of course you are," Alexander replies, making her blush. "In your wildest dream," he quickly adds, and again, Novela eyes turn pale. "But I like you," She utters." Dream on and get lost," Alexander mutters and walks away to take his seat some miles away from Old George. In tears, Novela picks up her bag and turns to Aidan. "Your family is a wreck," she says and walks out in anger. "I'm here now, i think we should let the meeting begin, Alexander says, and in anger, Old George turns to Aidan.

"You haven't found a woman yet, and I'm sure you know that," Old George, who has turned dizzy after the display between his grandsons utters. "Now listen to me, Alexander, and you also Aidan. I give you fourteen days to bring a woman before me and not just any woman because prepare your mind because you're going to spend the rest of your life with whoever you choose. I'll happily write my will after fourteen days," Old George utters and instantly walks out in anger. "A woman in fourteen days, Alexander wonders so sure that Old George meant his words.
