SEVENTH CHAPTER

Inka's Point of View

I looked around Read's Penthouse to find something that will lead me to know who Read is. I mean he is one of the billionaire in this country but I think there is more than just him being a famous rich guy.

I opened a door and found out it was his office, looking around I observed that there are no cameras in here.

I guess it is hidden. Knowing Read, he wouldn't just let his office off guard specially that this place have some important files and documents.

I walked inside and tried to figure out what to do first. I acted like I was just looking around so that I wouldn't be caught sneaking in the camera.

Okay, Inka think. Would you actually risk yourself and look around for some files in his table or get out of this room and just give up?

I heaved a sigh and stretch my arms. Okay! Time to dig up some information.

I started looking at his table, I found some documents about a certain company called Choi Enterprises. Oh, I guess this is the documents of his company.

I put it back and scanned the other papers. Some are just drafts and some are account papers that needed to be signed.

I opened his drawers and found some guns, bullets, two grenade and a vault.

Maybe this is where I could find some answers? But the problem is, I still don't know Read that much so I couldn't figure out the code. I groaned and stood up.

I walked towards his bookshelf and read some of the book's spine. Nothing specific that could help me. I went back to his table and sat at his swivel chair.

I heaved a sigh as I rethink the whole situation. Maybe I'm just being a paranoid. A Berserker can mean something too right?

What am I even thinking. I'm just too paranoid, my trauma had been triggered that made me think that Read is actually hiding some dark things.

I chuckled as I shook my head. I'm getting crazier as the day pass.

I need a drink. I stoop up from Read's chair and walked out of his office. I went straight to his kitchen and look for some foods and drinks.

Woah! His kitchen is full of stocks! That guy must be always hungry or something. I chuckled as I took out some ingredients and decided to cook some dinner.

Wait a minute-- that guy didn't tell me when he's going home! He just left while I was in my deep thoughts!

I'm going to call him!

Read Dragon 🐉

Ringing...

[What?]

"When are you coming back?"

[Why baby girl? Miss me already?] He asked and I heard him chuckled.

Wow! So much for being humble I see.

"No I don't! I'm about to cook some dinner so I need to know when are you coming back?" I said and rolled my eyes until I realize that he can't see me.

[Maybe around-- *gun shot* "Wayne! Get him!"]

Call Ended

W-Was that a gunshot? And Wayne? What the heck is happening? Should I call back? Oh God!

I was about to call again when the doorbell rang. I looked up as someone knocked on the door.

"Read! Open the Godd*mn door!"

A guy. Someone is looking for Read. Oh God! I looked around the room and spotted the knife, I took it and ran towards the door.

I want to see who he is but I can't look at the peephole for safety precaution so I'll just use a technique that I had learned when I was in Junior high.

Third Person's Point of View

I began banging Read's door since he's not opening it. I can see the light from inside so I'm sure that he's inside beside he's not even answering my calls.

God that man! He wants an alliance but is too busy to meet me.

"READ! I'LL BREAK YOUR DOOR!" I yelled.

Suddenly his door opened slowly. Too slowly, like from those horror movies.

My instinct kick in, I took my gun out and slowly walked inside. I looked around his unit, nothing seems wrong. Then why is--

*Crash*

"Who are you and what do you want from Read?" A lady asked as he point a kitchen knife at my temple.

Woah!

"Woah! Woah easy there lady. I didn't know that Read has a wife already." I chuckled. She was holding my hand behind me, not to tight actually since I can easily reverse our position.

She was sitting at my back as she holds me on submission, knife pointing at me. She got the speed but the strength, No.

"I am NOT his wife. On my dreams." She stated

"Oh so you dream to be his wife." I asked and laugh a little.

She suddenly pushed me too hard that resulted on me hitting my head at the floor.

"Ow! What was that for?!" I asked

"I can't let you distract me."

I rolled my eyes and shook my head.

"A'right you had your fun and this position seems to awkward so I'll go." I said and pushed myself to stand

"Wh-What?" She asked and fell down

"How can you-?"

"You got the speed lady but the strength needs some work to do." I commented

She rolled me her eyes and stood up.

"So if you're not Read's wife then who are you? His wh*re?" I asked

"Language young man and no I'm not. I'm an acquaintance and he told me to stay here since someone wants to kill me." She stated and walked, I followed her as we enter the kitchen.

I nodded and took an apple from the basket.

"Is Read even expecting you to be here? Cause he's not here and he forgot to tell me when he's coming home." She said as she went inside the pantry.

"He told me to meet him today, I think he forgot or he got some business suddenly and forgot to tell me." I said and shrugged.

I wonder if he's with Wayne?

I took my phone out and dialed Wayne's number.

Wayne the Idiot

Ringing...

[Yes?]

"Where's Read?"

[Dealing with a b*stard. Why?]

"Tell him that I'm at his unit together with his wonderful woman." I said and chuckled

[B*stard, tsk. --BERSERKER! THE ALPHA IS AT YOUR HOUSE!]

I heard some groans and noise then Read's threatening voice told me.

[Touch my woman and you'll die together with your pack.]

The line went off as I laughed hard at the kitchen.

God! I guess The Berserker has a weakness now.

"I forgot to ask, who are you?" The lady asked as she walked out of the Pantry.

"Lady, you should never trust someone who you don't know specially when its a hot guy like me." I told her and smirked

She rolled her eyes at me and threw a knife at my direction. Good thing I was fast enough to dodge it as it hit the wall.

"I don't give a f*ck about danger nor death. I already went to hell too many times now tell me your name or all of Read's knife will come at you."

I chuckled and sent her a wink.

"They call me the Mysterious Alpha but you can call me Joshua, Joshua Diong."
