They Made Remarkable Crime Partners

"No madam...How can I die at this tender young age? I am yet to find my love and then marry her. At least I want to have a football team of my babies." Alex said in a timid tone as he gazed at the shiny white looking floor.

At that time he found the floor to be the most exquisite and attractive thing to look at.

"Look into my eyes when I am talking." The old lady struck her cane on the floor. It produced a loud sound, making other's heartbeats go lower than it was already.

Alex clenched his fists and opened his head. The old lady was a head shorter than him yet he felt as if he was a 7-year-old boy.

He didn't have the time to dwell on his thoughts.

"Now, we talk!"

"Listen to me, I am not going to heed any of your words! Since you young boys don't listen to me. Let me show how we teach lessons to undisciplined boys like my own grandson. You either open your mouth to help me or shut it because right now my target is your boss. I will come to you later. I know what happened on that date also. So don't think that you are safe, instead, you are in grave danger."

She sent a fierce glare and marched past him. Four bulky and tall bodybuilders like men followed the old lady.

Meanwhile, Alex felt his soul had left his body. He stood at the same place with dead eyes. His lips sealed in a straight line. His hands clenched in a tight fist. He could feel the erupting volcano within himself. The sudden eruption made him wonder how stupid of a guy he is. He recalled the date night and his lips curved up as he went down to the memory lane and re-imagined the ending of his date. It shattered his heart. He felt suffocated and couldn't breathe.

His array of thoughts was disrupted by the murmurings of the frightened patients and nurses. Alex blew out a hot breath and walked in the same direction as the lady. He took the elevator.

"Aunt Fiona knows me the best! She had added my favourite veggies in the porridge." Alisha exclaimed with immense happiness glowing on her face.

Viviana scowled at her, "Oh please, you are the good girl here who has loved to eat every veggie since her childhood. It was me, the sole bearer of Aunt Fiona's wrath. I had to listen to her nagging. It became my nightmare. I would have stopped coming to meet her if not for her special chocolate home-baked cookies. And the only reason I listened to her lecture about 'the side effects of eating junk food' is that I always get the advantage when she used to distribute those cookies. She would give extra than you both. Therefore, in the end, everything I suffered was worth it." She wiped a fake tear.

Esther had finished eating and again was busy with her phone. Viviana and Alisha were used to her over the top workaholic nature so they didn't find it insulting.

After a few minutes, they also got done with their food.

Esther noticed that Kylie had ignored her message about the date and only sent her the email of the project.

'Now I am sure something had occurred during the date. I need to find it out.'

Esther glittered with persistence. She has shaken from her plans on how to make Kylie speak due to Viviana's grumbles. Esther shot her an annoyed glare which was completely overlooked by the culprit herself.

Viviana began to move her legs forth and back, "How I wish the time to pause right here. So that I can live and enjoy my life to the fullest."

Alisha nodded her head, she couldn't give her opinion since she was stuffed with a big piece of chocolate filled bread. Esther was the one to do it as her friend was beginning to irritate her. She did the same to Viviana however, she had eaten the whole bread within seconds. It didn't faze Esther; rather she only smirked when her friend shot her hateful gaze.

Viviana couldn't even express her discomfort to Esther as just looking at her adorable face makes her forget her anger.

Alisha licked her fingers which were dripping with chocolate. She licked and sucked it. Her once dark chocolate covered fingers were cleaned by her tongue.

Esther leaned back on the couch, "As we are done with everything here. We should check out. Also, I need to have a serious talk with you both but not here. Let's head to the villa, there I will talk and you both have to listen to me and my words with your full concentration. I don't want you to start daydreaming when I am the one to do the talking."

She chose to warn them before they argued and tell her that her words were of no importance to them so they don't have to fritter their time. The one brazen enough to say these things to Esther could only be Viviana. Alisha was always the obedient one while Viviana was her opposite in everything though they made remarkable crime partners.

They both used to prank their classmates and college friends while they created the mess, Esther had given the task to clean their mess.

It was also because all the teachers and other authorities placed Esther and her wise words on a high pedestal. Esther always had a way with her expressive skills be it with her facial expressions or words. She excelled all. She was the perfect example of perfection.

That was what they also used to describe her, their Esther but things changed. They saw her vulnerable side when everything had fallen apart for her. That time was a nightmare for them too.

Viviana peeped at Esther who seemed to be lost in her thoughts. She smiled as she took in her appearance. Their friend might have turned ice cold-hearted but her heart still was the softest.

'My only wish to you God, please find a good guy who can see through her cold and detached act. He should understand her inner self. He should gather up her broken pieces and stick them back.' She prayed.

Alisha had gone to the bathroom to wash her hands, she didn't prefer tissues as it always made her feel dirty even after using those paper tissues. She liked to wash her hands with hand wash and water.

She came back and observed the tranquil environment of the room which made her raise her eyebrows since there can't be any silence when there is her friend, Viviana.

She sat beside Esther and still she saw Viviana immersed in her beliefs.

Alisha saw the tissue box on the small round table inside and her lips curved up in an evil smile as if she had a plan to destroy.

She took noiseless steps to it and using some tissues she made a tiny ball of those papers.

She put the box back in its place. Then she marched over to her seat. After waiting for two minutes, she didn't get any reaction from Viviana and noticed that she had her eyes closed.

She aimed the ball and threw it at her. The ball hit Viviana on her forehead. She fluttered her eyes and flashed a nasty glare to Alisha to which she barely smiled and winked.

Alisha's smile fell off her lips when she saw her friend taking heavy steps towards Alisha.

She could feel the dark vibes coming out for her friend. She shuddered and rubbed her arms. She felt the temperature plummeting. Still, she tried to organize herself and form a smile on her face again but it didn't last for long.

After she saw Viviana hovering over herself.
