Richard POV
Am down with my fifth glass of strong alcohol and about to pour the sixth one when I started hearing noise outside my office, i could hear my assistant voice shouting for the person to stop
I think she was trying to stop someone from entering my office, according to my instruction of not to be disturb
My door was push open with force an angry looking Patrick walk into my office
” Am so so sorry Sir, I try to stop him” she said looking scared
” Obviously you didn’t try enough, you are fired” I said standing up from my chair as I pour more drinks for myself, Patrick was just standing there glaring at me, he knows not to talk
” Sir, please…” She started begging and crying
” Get out!” I shouted, she quickly run out from my office
” How many have you fired this week, are you not tired” Patrick ask
” Am not counting and I don’t care” I said as I drank all the content in my cup
” You now forbid me from coming into your office” Patrick said shaking his head in a negative way
” Have you found her? If not why would I see you” I replied
” Richard, come on..it has been a year” he said with irritating voice
“Yes, a year of failure, I just don’t to talk about this” I said glaring at him
” Richard just look at yourself man”
” And how do I look” I fire back getting angry
” You look like a ghost and you are taking out your frustrations on the wrong people”. Patrick said
” Whose fault is that, if you have done your job well, all this wouldn’t have been happening, i would not have lost her, also Alex escape so who am I going to be taking my frustrations out on” I shouted pouring my drinks and drink it all at ago
” Is Philip not enough” Patrick ask
” He is only alive for one purpose, if you have no news for me I want to be left alone” I said
I know I haven’t been unfair, but it has been a Füçking year, each passing day I have hope to find her but she is nowhere to be found, I have look from country to country yet no sign, it seems as if she never exist, and it driving me crazy
Not knowing if Alex took her again or not, not knowing anything also make me mad, it all Füçking with my head
” You need to stop being a d_1ck, the boys are complaining” Patrick said
” Tell me who is complaining, I will Füçk his @$$ up” I yell
” Richard, you are being tough on them for no reason, there are lot of whore out there, why are you tripping over her” he ask
“If I were you, I will choose my words carefully” I said
My mind wander off again, Where could Rose be, why can’t I find her or is it that am looking for her at the wrong direction
I also have men looking for Alex but he too disappear as if he never exist, the same as Rose making me to think that maybe he has Rose again
I angrily throw the glass cup on the wall, watching it shatter into pieces
” Richard you better work on yourself,I honestly thought with time this your obsession will stop but I was clearly wrong” Patrick said
How I wish it was just an infatuation, it is not, I feel so helpless
” how I wish men” I said grabbing the bottle of alcohol on my table to drink but Patrick took it out of my hand
” Stop Richard, am worried for you” Patrick said
” I want her Patrick, I need her, I really h@të feeling this way, I thought with time it could stop but it never did, I want her to be okay and with me” I said as i couldn’t control my emotion again
” Füçk man” Patrick curse as he pull me into his arms to console me,maybe am this emotional because of the alcohol
After some minute I was able to calm down ” if you tell anybody about this, I will Füçking kill you” I said composing myself
” Your secret is save with me” Patrick said smiling
” Get out, I have work to done” I said
” You mean going back to self pity and destruction, come on man, am taking you out with me, you have been hidding in your office for long” Patrick said
” Am not really game” I tried saying but Patrick cut me off
” Am not asking you am telling you” he said

Philip POV
Everything,time I heard the door to the dungeon, where Richard kept me open my heart seems to live my body
Richard seems to become the devil walking on the earth, since he return back
He is a lunatic, I pray for death but he refuse to give me one, he made sure there was no weapon in the dungeon with me, so I couldn’t kill or harm myself
How can someone, a human being torture someone nearly to.death and bring you back to life, treat you, feed you and start torturing you again
My left hand has been cut off, I was as good as dead, I now beg for death but it also seems to be running from me
I have be wipe, tortured, burnt and humiliated, am slowly loosing my mind here, I talk to myself at times
I bath once in a blue moon,I sleep in the same place I defecated,am I not as good as dead
I have lost count of the time and day also
I remember his words correctly, when he first tortured me
” I will be your worst nightmare,you will beg for death but I will not give it to you, I will make you bleed ” he said with a look on his face that I have never seen since I have come to know him
” Why, just kill me already” I begged, like a loser that I am
” I will only end you, the day I found Rose and Alex ” he said and left the dungeon, living me half dead
That means Alex escape them, yet he didn’t come to help me, that bastard….
Every time I manage to sleep, I wake up thinking all of this is a nightmare but it wasn’t, i can’t Never believe that I could end this way
