Damaged and Dangerous

Chapter 5: A Painful Memory

Alex POV:

“Dude I don’t think that good idea..” Adrian hissed as I informed him that I am visiting Knight.Inc for searching my hot Indian beauty that was probably a top model in our company since she was getting dressed in dressing section of 9th floor “What’s wrong in that?” I questioned him back tying my shoelace by sitting on edge of my bed “Don’t you dare tell me you forgot our father warning from last night fundraiser huh?” Adrian said getting up from his bed and stretching his body “Father is already pissed with us and trust me when I tell you this that I do need his money for spending on my luxury life” He added yawing lightly, Yes! we are sharing same room since we both are twins; Adrian and I are more closed to each other than our elder brothers not just because we are twins but also because we both had almost lost our life twice once when we were new born and had gone under a terrible surgery when we were born as joint twins and second four years back because of one misfortunate accident “Don’t worry am not going to cause any more scandal Addy” I replied in assurance tone and bid him my goodbye before heading out.

As I was walking down our staircase of our mansion I silently thanked god that my father wasn’t anywhere around but my his personal w***e ‘Sukanya’ was busy ordering our maids to set our breakfast table however since I had no wish in speaking to her I simply walked past her when “Alex… come have some breakfast beta (Child)” I heard her cheerful voice calling me from behind which somewhat spoiled my good mood “How many time do I have to tell you to call me with full name, dare not call me Alex again b***h” I hissed without even bothering to turn to face her “Ale… Alexander how can you talk to your mother like that....” She said in her weak tone however the instant I heard ‘Mother’ from her dirty mouth something worst got ignited in me, I quickly turned to see her pathetic face and “Don’t you f*****g dare call yourself as my mother b***h…. You are nothing but pathetic leech that is surviving on my father wealth, I already told you these thousand times that you are his wife but not my mother… I don’t have any mother because SHE. IS. DEAD… because of w***e LIKE YOU….” I added specifically stressing on last part and immediately turned back my heels to get out of this mansion as I was feeling extremely suffocated around her.

It’s true ‘Sukanya’ is the reason why my mother is dead, my biological mother ‘Elizabeth knight’ was one beauty and most kind hearted person, my mother was pregnant with my elder brother Ethan when she and my father got married, my parents were in relations since their junior college but because my mother was from a middle class family which was nowhere closer to my father richness and high profile status our paternal grandparents rejected to accept her in their family , Knight family was one in ‘Entertainment and Fashion industry’, Since several generation knight family was working in this business and had outstanding wealth accumulated with their business which was spread across whole America, however my father was head over heel in love with my mother because of which he went against our grandparents orders and got married with our mother and within just couple of years Ethan, Jacob, Adrian and me were welcomed by them in their life love life, we were small but one of richest family In New York, our family was one of the happiest family however our happiness was short lived when my father got into an extra marital affair with one of Top model from knight. Inc who was none other than his recent wife and our step mother ‘Sukanya’, I still remember that day clearly when my parents were fighting just a night before my mother committed suicide.

Start of flashback

“Samuel why…are you doing this to me?” my mother said kneeling in front of my father as he stood up to leave with irritably expression plastered on his face “Elizabeth don’t make this ridicules scene in front of our kids, I already informed you my decision, ill pay for child care but right now I want you to sign this divorce agreement” my father said in annoyed tone as he forced my mother to sign divorce papers “I don’t want child care service Samuel, I want our family , I want you.. ho.... how can you leave us fo.. for that b***h” my mother said in her broken voice as her teary eyes kept wandering on us, me and my remaining three brothers were witnessing their every single conversation, I and Adrian were six years old while Jacob was eight and Ethan was eleven year old, we all brother were staggered to see our parents fighting “Please Samuel ….” My mother pleaded more by holding my father both legs, all while her eyes remained fixed on her kids when suddenly my father harshly jerked away his legs and pushed her hard on ground and annoyingly walked away not before stating “I do not love you anymore Elizabeth, you better sign those papers willingly or else I have other means to get it done…”, we all brothers were young yet we understood what was going on here, that night after my father left our mother cried and cried an cried until there was no tears left in her eyes, we all brothers tried to coo her and said every sweet words we could think of but from inside we all were hell worried about our parents, however there was nothing that we could have done in that situation except praying our  heavenly father also at moment none of us had a slightest of clue that it was our last time to see our mother alive and breathing because after that night next morning we discovered her corpse hanging from ceiling in her bedroom, she committed suicide because of my father and his b***h girlfriend.

 End of flashback

A sudden memory of my mother flashed in front of my eye’s as soon as I made myself comfortable in my Lamborghini however I quickly composed myself from breaking down and started heading towards Knight.Inc, it took me exact 30 minutes to reach our company, I hastily parked my car in front of our 50 floors tall proud building and immediately got out, throwing my key to our valet I walked inside and headed straight to my personal office which was on top floor, I called my personal assistant jenny who was wearing a deep neck red colored body hugging blouse with black pencil skirt, she looked totally cheerful to see me here as I can conclude that from her horny smile and weird behavior, yeah! I am one good looking man with billions of dollars in his bank account, I was one of the most eligible bachelor of New York city, so it’s natural for women like her to drool over me “Good morning Mr. Alexander, what I can do for you today?” she questioned me in her sweet voice “Get me detail on all Indian models working with us also just get me detail on who among them are our top model and had a shoot yesterday” I ordered her and waved my hand indicating her to leave, seeing my stern behavior her painted face immediately turned gloomy “Do you need anything else?” I questioned her with raised eyebrow “Ahh…. No boss, I just have a message from ‘Tyler’, he said he is expecting your presence at his house party today for a strip party” she said in shy tone “Hmm… ok, if that was it then you can leave” I told her in annoyed tone as currently I was little agitated to know about my ‘Indian Doll’, and just like I wanted Jenny walked back to her big desk which was placed right outside of my cabin.

60 minutes later jenny knocked on my door and walked inside with a black leather folder in her hands “Did you get?” I questioned her as soon as she stood in front of me “Yes sir… here… complete detail about every Indian model who are currently working with us, in total there are 23 models working for us who are from India and only 4 among them are work in line of ‘Top Class’ models also only one of them was having her shoot yesterday which was for ‘Osman Indian Bridal Jewelry summer collection’” she replied gently sliding folder from her hand towards me “What’s her name?” I questioned picking up folder curiously “Her name is Victoria Perez” jenny replied as I kept scrolling through every profile until I halted at one what my eyes were craving to look at “Hmm… weird… her name do sound somewhat familiar..…” I murmured staring at her profile picture “Sorry sir you said something?” jenny questioned me “Aahh….. no no nothing….. Just call this Victoria girl and ask her to meet me in my cabin within next hour” I ordered jenny “Aha… sir she is already here, she is currently busy in one of her shoot” Jenney replied and I don’t know why but her words got me excited “which floor?” I simply questioned her getting up from my seat “22nd floor in ‘Love bite lingerie’ shoot” she replied and I immediately made my way out.

I walked inside our personal elevator and pressed 22nd floor, it took approx 50 seconds for my elevator to halt at 22nd floor since I was coming down from 5th floor, also the second I got out of elevator a fresh smell of lavender hit my nose, well jenny said that Victoria was in ‘Love bite lingerie’ shoot so I guessed they might be using ‘Lavender oil’ for boosting sensual expression from models, it’s very common techniques in modeling industry where many companies uses different aroma therapy to enhance natural expression of their models, saying that lavender is used for soothing body senses and relaxing muscles because of which models ultimately brings out there natural and best sensual expression during their photo shoot. I don’t know why but as I was taking steps towards their photo shoot room, my excitement was getting strong and stronger, with every passing second lavender smell which was lingered in air was playing weird tricks on my mind when finally after walking for a minute I halted in front of door which say’s ‘occupied for shooting’, I quickly turned its door knob and pushed open it’s door however what I saw inside got me little stunned, my eyes kept wandering around whole place which was totally messy until it landed on two individual one them was Victoria while another was “Ethan?” I questioned in my deep voice.
