Chapter Fifty Seven

"Granny Ella and Britteny died the same day, who's next?" Richard said to Alex as his hands were folded together close to his face with tears dropping down his cheek.

"Richard, just take it easy, hmm." Alex said as he patted Rich's back.

"Take it easy? Really, we both buried Granny Ella today, do you think I'm okay? Do you think I want to take things easy?" Richard said as he looked at Alex.

"What about William? What are you going to do about him?"

"What else? I would take care of him, he's my responsibility now."

"Do you have the money?"

Richard scoffed,"Yes, I have, I mean the money I have can take care of I and William for three years, we are graduating next month right? I would have got a job by then."

"Even if you don't want to work, your friend gat your back." Alex said with a laugh.

"Do you have the money? Didn't you say your father freezed your account? You should be the one thinking." Richard said as Alex stopped smiling.

"I would find a way, there's always a.. right?" Alex said trying to find a smile.

"A way?" Richard said.

"Do you think Mr Ashwin is the right way for my Freedom for Megan?" Alex said.

"What is the right way today may be the wrong way tomorrow,thus avail, enjoy the right way of today, then waiting for tomorrow, Mr Ashwin is the right dangerous way."

"I know right, but I have no choice." Alex said.

"When you are back from Mr Ashwin territory, I have something to tell you."

"Really, what?"

"I said when you are back." Richard said as he smiled.

"You caused the death of my daughter." Britteny's father said to Mr Qin in Mr Qin's office.

"And how is that my concern?" Mr Qin said.

"Oh really, not your concern right? Why was the engagement called off?" Britteny's father said loudly.

"Alex didn't like your daughter so he called off the engagement, so please reduce your voice, this is a very cooperate environment."

"OH really, a very cooperate environment, I would make sure what you took from me would also be taken from you, the day he makes you proud." Britteny's father said as he left the office as Alex entered the office.

"What was that all about?" Alex said to Mr Qin as he entered the office.

"Just business." Mr Qin said as he stood up.

"Business, that's Britteny's father, what did he tell you?" Alex said looking at his father with a questioning face.

"None of your business, why are you here?" Mr Qin said.

"Dad, I asked you a question first."

"Alex,you don't want to test your father's patience."

Alex scoffed, "I wish too but I'm not ready."

"Are you here for Mr Ashwin contract?"

"Yes, I'm ready."

"Good, your flight is tomorrow to Mexico, have a great stay."

"Aren't you thinking about my life?"

"Nothing is going to happen to you, if you behave yourself."

"But Dad.."

"Alex please, you said you are ready, If you want to catch a monkey, you have to act like a monkey," Mr Qin said as he walked closer to Alex,"So Alex, act like a monkey." He said patting Alex's shoulder.

"Megan, are you okay?" Alana said as Megan laid on her bed as Alana sat at the edge of the bed.

"Do I look okay?" Megan muttered under her breath.

"How was the burial?"

"It was how other burials used to be."

"You know it's still shocking how your grandma and Britteny died the same day in the same hospital." Alana said.

"Do you think the universe fight for souls to be together? 
Some things are too strange and strong to be coincidences." Megan said.

"Woah." Alana said, "I think this whole death thing has really improved your IQ?"

"Alana, please just go meet Liam." Megan said as she pouted her lip.

"You are chasing me to my sweet boyfriend?" Alana said as she scoffed with drama filled when they they heard a knock on the door. "I guess that's my so called sweet boyfriend."

"What a sweet coincidence." Megan said.

"Where some people see coincidence,I see conspiracy, that's my job." Alana said as Megan giggled, while Alana opened the door. "Oh." She said as she saw Alex.

"I think, I would need to see my sweet boyfriend." Alana said looking at Megan with a teeth smile as she left.

"What are you doing here?" Megan said as she sat upright.

"Are we having issues before? Can't I come see how you are doing?" Alex said as he sat beside Megan.

"Alex, let's stop this, Britteny is dead,of course they would find you another girl."

"We could be together, if you did allow me to go to Mexico for six months." Alex said as Megan looked at him.

"Six months, for what?" Megan said.

"For a contract that would give us both freedom."

"Six months, just for our freedom from you Dad?" Megan said as she bit her lower lip, nodding her head slowly. "That's great."

"Six months would be over soon,I promise you." Alex said.

"Promise me, you would come back." Megan said bringing out her pinky finger.

"Well, I'm not good at promising but I promise." Alex said interlocking his pinky finger with Megan's as he kissed her.
