~Three days later ~
????
“Boss, why can’t you kill Rose Walter, it’s a simple assignment?”
Ben said to Robert who was thinking of what to do.
“Really? Ben..
What changed your mind, I thought you don’t want to harm Rose”
Dylan replied.
“I don’t care now…
If rose didn’t die, Boss can’t have his revenge cos he will need to be Liam’s bodyguard to achieve that”
“But we can’t murder an innocent lady just because boss wants a revenge…
We just have to find another way round this..
“Are you saying we should stick to the other plan?
Ben asked.
“What if it doesn’t work?”
“It’s going to, everything is going fine already, Once boss can get Rose’s trust…
The plan is going to work out”
Dylan replied.
“How possible can he get Rose’s trust in less than a week?
“Well, I guess if Rose is lucky and she get to trust him, then she can be able to escape death”
“You two should stop”
Robert said in a low voice.
They both immediately shut their mouth.
He stood up and walk away..
A knock later came on the door. Dylan rushed to opened it.
“Hey Dylan…
Ben heard a lady’s voice.
“Kate??
Why did you came too early? ”
Dylan asked.
“Boss asked me to come over…
Did I actually came to early? ”
“No, it’s okay”
Come inside”
Kate stepped in and Dylan look outside to ensure no one is spying before shutting the door.

~(Liam’s office)~
“Give me more time, Boss
Robert pleaded with liam. He faces the ground unable to look at his face.
“More time?
You have less than two days left in a week that I gave you and nothing is done yet? ”
Liam replied. Olivia just looked at Robert h@tëfully.
“Am sorry Boss”
“Are you sure you hired a good bodyguard.
Olivia said.
Did he really killed all those men in the basement?”
And now he can’t kill a mere woman? ”
She added.
A surge of anger rise inside Robert. He felt like stabbing her everywhere on her body but he decide to kept his peace.
“How could they thought of killing Rose?
Just because she knows their secrets?
He thought.
“Alright, this is what am going to do..
Liam said and looked at Robert.
“Am going to send my men after her and you also should tried to get the job done..
And if my men kill her before you do? Am going to take your life too..
Which means you will lose your job an..nd your life? ”
Do you understand that?
“Yes, Boss
Robert nodded and walked out.
Olivia smile.
“Hmm, babe..
I love that decision”
Just let’s get this done and get it over with”
“Well, you caused all of this…
It’s you who wants Rose dead”
“And am doing this for the both of us”
Olivia said and Liam sighs.
??The next day ???
~Boathouse Eatery &Bar(BEB)~
(7pm) Evening.
Rose noticed Jerry’s mood throughout today’s work.
“Hey what’s wrong?
You’ve been acting unhappy all throughout today”
” Am fine, thanks for noticing”
Robert said and carried his bag from the locker.
“I have to step out now, see you at work tomorrow”
He added before walking away.
“Wait, let me give you a ride, I have my car parked outside”
Rose said.
Robert smile a little.
“I know you have a car, but don’t worry.. am just going to take the bus home..
Thanks for the Ride”
He said before finally walking away.
Rose sighs.
“Can’t believe she once had a crush on me??
Robert thought as he walks out to the lobby.
“Don’t be late tomorrow, Jerry”
Jake shouted at him.
“Adios, boss
Robert replied in Spanish.
***********
“Yeah, I can’t wait to see you, mom…
I will be back home before 8pm.. am just leaving my workplace”
Rose smiles over the phone as she walks towards her car.
“Sure, mom..
I can’t wait to hear alot of stories of Hawaii”
She ended the call and drops her bag at the other seat before stepping into her vehicle.
She ignite the engine and drove out of the Boathouse’s Eatery.
*****
Her mind went to Andrew.
She smiles as she rembered all what they did together during her stay in his home,. all the sëx scenes played in her head and her lips curved out a smile again,
Everything came refreshing into her mind, the movie they had to watch together, the romantic moments they both enjoyed, and the jealousy attacks on each other.
“I can’t believe have missed all that, in just in less than a week I left him”
She said as she smile.
She continue driving and suddenly, her car hit something.. she quickly press the brake and stopped the car.
“Oh gosh, please…let it not be a flat tyre”
She prayed silently. She got down from the car and look at the tyres.
All the tyres have become flat already…
Everywhere was becoming cold and dark.
She noticed a long thin of pines placed across the road behind her car.
She walk towards it as she stares at it.
“Did someone place pines on the road to burst out all my tyres?
She asked herself and suddenly she heard a ÇOçk sound of a gun and felt it’s touch at the back of her head.
She smirked and raise up her head.
Five other men came out from their hiding place.
“Rose Walter right?
One of them said.
“Yes, please…
What do you all want?
You can take my car, the car keys are in my pockets”
Rose pleaded.
“We don’t want your car… We are here to kill you”
He replied.
“Down to the ground now” he shouted at her.
Rose quickly knelt to the ground.
“I don’t see that happening ”
A voice said in front of Rose.
She looked up and saw John.
“John?
What the Fuçk are you doing here? ”
Rose asked surprised.
John smile…
Another guy with a gun came and pointed it at John’s head.
“Down to the ground, bastard”
He shouted at him.
John knelt down slowly.
“Who are you?
One of them asked John.
“None of your business… But just know I came here to take my lady here”
John winked at rose.
They all laughed.
“Did you think we are here to play?”
“Do you come here to save me or join the party?”
Rose asked.
“I came to save you…
He smile again.
Liam Payne sent them over to kill you”
I knew he will never back down till he sees you dead”
“That bastard”
Rose cursed.
“So what’s your plan?”
“Watch”
He smile and raise his hands up. He pointed it to one of Liam’s men and boom, he got shot and fell to the ground.
Within a twinkle of an eye, every Liam’s men were on the ground dead, except two others who pointed a gun at John and Rose’s head.
They both began to shake and slowly drop down their gun.
“Tell him you cant lay your hands on Rose Walter, she is the property of Andrew Williams”
John said to those men and Rose looked at him.
“Yes, we will..
We are sorry Mr John”
They replied in fear and ran out of sight.
All of Andrew’s men came out of hiding.
“Nice work, guys”
John applaud them.
“Thanks, boss”
One of them said.
“What do you mean by what you just said?
Rose asked standing up from the ground.
“Oh do you mean Andrew’s property?
John said.
“Yeah, cos am no one’s property, I don’t belong to anybody”
She replied.
“I think you should ask Andrew yourself…
He instructed me to tell them that”
Andrew smile at her.
Rose squeeze her face.
“Did you bring a car?
Am late already, my parents are already back from Hawaii and I told them I will be back home before 8pm”
“There is still time…
Follow me”
John smile.
*********
“How did you know I was in danger?
Rose asked as John drives her home.
“Andrew got to know about Liam Payne trying to kill you”
He replied.
“Omg, did you told him our secret??
“No, I didn’t not..
Am always loyal and secretive, I don’t just bulge out someone’s secret unless the person wants me to…
Am loyal to boss just the same way am loyal to you as his wife”
Rose chuckles and smile.
“First, am no longer his wife and also I see why you didn’t tell me Andrew’s secret even when I tried all I could for you to bulge them out”
“Yeah, it’s great you know that…
Boss got to know cos we have an insider in Liam’s company”
So he sent me to protect you”
Rose nodded and chuckles.
“I guess he still cares about me”
“Yeah, he does…
Do you still want to have your revenge?”
“I will be glad if I do…
I still want justice to robert”
John smiles.
Silence ruled for a minute.
“I saw you and Andrew at the eatery three days ago where I worked…
How do you guys come across our restaurant? ”
Rose asked.
“You mean boathouse Eatery and Bar?
I didn’t know you worked there, I just find a random eatery where boss can be having lunch and is closest to Wells Fargo”
“Oh, that explains it..
He is the CEO of Wells Fargo,
So which mean he will keep coming? ”
“Hmm.. yeah I guess so
And he will definitely wants to come to lunch everyday because of you”
John said as he stopped the car.
Rose groaned.
Well it’s fine”
John just smile.
“We are in front of your house, Rose”
“Thanks for the ride”
Rose thanked him and got down from the car.
“Goodnight”
John said as she watched her walk away.

“Sir, we couldn’t find his body”
A cop walked into detective stone’s office.
“What do you mean? ”
Det stones asked.
“Robert suntherland body is nowhere to be found. We discovered his body had disappeared from the morgue two months ago”
The cop replied and Det stones stood up from his chair.
“Are you saying??
“Yes, detective…
