The Last Ceo’s Deal

CHAPTER TWENTY SIX.

Christine’s Pov.

I wore the leather boots and the plastic hand gloves on my tiny hands, I took the mopping stick and a pail with a brush and packer for cleaning, I couldn’t use the machine there cause it’s definitely going to mess it up.

Laurel had advised me to make use of all these when going to the basement. I avoided Jayden at all costs and used the elevator.

He had warned me but it’s useless, I better do it now and get done with the work rather than postponing it till further notice.

The door slid open and I gasped in fear. It was pitch dark in here and I couldn’t locate the switch. I took a step and it was slippery, the place was drenched with chemicals and it reeked of polluted oxygen. Despite the mask I wore, the nostalgic stench hit me hard. I couldn’t work in darkness, I turned my back to enter the elevator to get a lamp or to ask Laurel where to find the switch but I couldn’t find it again. The elevator disappeared.

My heart thumped in fear and my eyes cleared at once.

Laurel had told me! You couldn’t come back the same way you reached the basement. You had to use the secret passage door at the extreme end of the staircase leading straight to the living room.

How on earth would I do that in darkness? The smell was so much that I felt my stomach churning, I badly wanted to throw up.

I took another blind step and another one. I was progressing, all I needed to do was to locate the walls and trace it to where the staircase was.

I kept walking blindly until I slipped into a puddle of what I don’t know. It was oily and smelled terribly abandoned for months.

I need to get up but the smell is getting to the whole part of my stomach as I threw a large amount of vomit. I was so irritated that I didn’t imagine seeing the mess if there was light.

I struggled to get up and I took a very slow step, I was extremely slow to avoid falling into another rubbish oil.

My head was hazy and I’m feeling dizzy. A piercing pain sliced inside my stomach and I was muffled in pain.

I need to get out of here, the chemicals are reacting in my body and it’s not good.

I felt a cool breeze coming from a particular direction and I followed it blindly, maybe I’m almost there.

I sigh in relief when I finally touch the wall. The cool breeze was nearer and I traced my hands on the wall as I walked towards it. I kept moving until an invisible sharp object pierced my fingers and tore the flesh of my arm, I screamed in pain and hit my hand in the process.

A Loud wailing alarm signifying danger blazed though, I fell down in fear and red lights flashed through the horrifying dark basement. I winced in pain as I looked around, I wasn’t even close to the wall! It was an Electric generating plant which stood huge in the middle, blazing and Screaming.

Blood seeped out of my skin and I wailed in pain. Fanuel knew all of this and he still insisted on making me come here. Does he adore money so much that he doesn’t give a shit about human life? He hates me so much and it hurts like hell.

Webb caused all of this!! And even if someone else did it, is this how he would have treated such a person? Doesn’t he have a conscience? Which part of hell did he resurrected from?

And I fucking like him!! I can’t believe that I drool when he stands close to me, I get worried when he doesn’t eat or sleep well, I hope and wish better things for him when he doesn’t give a fuck!!All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

To hell with him!!!

I yelled in anger and let the tears flow! I wiped it off in anger and tried to stand up, I shouldn’t let anything happen to me.

Apparently, he wants me to die but I won’t give up! I won’t die no matter what.

I crashed back to the ground in pain, my eyes weré getting dizzy and dizzy and….. I passed out.

************

Jayden Pov.

I gasped in horror.

“Easton?”

His eyes were still fixed on me and I could tell he’s shocked as well.

“Jade?”

Damn! He’s the only one that calls me that, I can’t believe this.

“What the heck!” He shouted and engulfed me into a bear hug.

“You disappeared buddy, I called , I texted you, I whatsapp you, I tweeted, and you were off!!” I complained.

“Dad didn’t let me stay in New Jersey. I had a scholarship in New York and I left. I couldn’t call because I foolishly left my phone in the airport that day. I cried, man. I was only able to contact my dad through the school management, I’m so sorry….. what the actual fuck are you doing In this mansion?” Easton said and I chuckled.

“I’m Hudson Cruiz’s son, and this is my brother Fanuel Hudson.” His countenance changed immediately and he sneered at me.

“What in God’s name?”

“Now who the hell is this shit and can someone tell me why the alarm is blazing?”

Fanuel yelled and I glared at him.

Easton is Christine’s brother, My best friend whom I met in high school but parted ways and lost contact.

No wonder I connected the dots the night Christine had mentioned his name.

This is not good, My brother is a big chunk to his sister and he’s here at the wrong time.

“My name is Easton Webb, not shit.”

“The alarm?” He asked dismissively

and Edward stood up at once.

“Could it be fire?”

We all stare at him in shock.

“common guys, I’m just kidding.”

“Can you just be serious for once, I’m fucking going crazy here.” Fanuel said and Mum emerged from nowhere.

“I’m here to see my sister, Christine Webb”

My eyes widened and Fanuel turned to look at him, Mum gasped in horror and yelled.

“Who is in the basement!!! That chemical corrosives is enough to kill anybody”

“Mum just go inside please, we got this sorted out.”

I told her but she came forward.

“Where’s Christine?”

“What’s going on, where the fuck is my sister?” Easton yelled.

“Don’t you fucking raise your voice at me next time, you shit!!” Fanuel glared at Easton who sent a heavy crashing blow on his nose.

“Call me shit again, and I will rip out that tongue of yours!! Now where the hell is my sister!!!”
