Fierce in action but friendly by heart.
Mr. Lorenzo De Steffano is an Italian billionaire who owns several companies, hotels and businesses. It was his second visit to the town.
"Asher!"Lorenzo calls out to his son.
"Dad, I'll be with you soon. I just want to get some clothes on", Asher responded. He was Lorenzo's only living child. His siblings were killed in a plane crash traveling to Japan after their father asked them not to. It was a bitter experience for his family. Asher was his third child. His wife, Helen was very much alive but never really stayed with the family. She spent time touring. Currently, she is in Brazil having a fun time.
The young man came out of his room wearing a silk blue shirt that wore a Balenciaga brand label and a pair of white Nike Air Jordans. He was about to go out with his friends.
The doctor had called Lorenzo and informed him that Vanessa was fine and she could be picked up now.
"Where are you heading to son?" Lorenzo asked. It was sixteen minutes past noon time.
"The boys and I are going to party. It's Jay's birthday", Asher answered.
"Well you might have a delay", Lorenzo said.
"What's that pop?" Asher asked.
"There is a young lady I helped yesterday from some kidnappers. She's at the hospital. Help get her here. She's a very pretty lady. Get her some nice outfits too. Start going, so you won't run too late for your party", Lorenzo ordered.
Asher was already two hours early for the party so there was much time to do what his Dad wanted.
***********
The town, Beverly Hills, was a big town. "Vanessa could be anywhere in this town", Andre thought.
Things were all fine at the club. Andre just got in and started searching for Theresa's file so he could get her address at least.
"Fire! Fire!! Fire!!!" , the security guards at the club shouted making sure everyone in the building got out safe. The fire started on the second floor and its on the third floor now. Fire extinguishers were helping but it wasn't just enough. Items and properties of the club were burnt and some were still burning. The firefighters were seven minutes away. Andre was still in the building, a huge table fell on his ankle and had his bone broken. He also broke his arm. Andre was in pain, scars and burns were all over him.
"Carry him, go! , go!!. The fire fighters had Mr Andre carried. He was put into a bus and rushed down to the hospital, despite first aid treatment being administered in the bus.
*************
"You should have left" Miles told Selma. He just got back from work. Selma had opened up to him about Vanessa. She told him that Vanessa and herself were close friends. She said she couldn't just talk about her when he first asked since she didn't know who he was. Miles opened up to her about he and Vanessa's relationship.
"Well yes. Vanessa took my job and in return I'll take her man" Selma said.
"Hey, what do you mean?" He asked. "And no one is taking her from me or either way", he added.
"You have a girlfriend, you don't know her job and you just f**ked some girl and claim you love her. That's sh*t man". Selma answered as she slammed the door and left. She just wants to haunt people and spoil their relationships since hers is gone. Fred didn't allow her to meet up with him anymore.
************
"A call has been placed to his family about the incident", the club's secretary informed the police.
"What was the cause of the fire?" asked one of the media personnel present.
"It started on the second floor in the kitchen, it might have been a gas explosion. I'm really not sure what happened", one of the security guards answered. It was obviously a big loss for CLUB NEXUS but a moment of profit for other clubs in the town.
*************
"Hey, please I want to pick up the patient Mr Lorenzo dropped here last night",Asher was speaking to one of the nurses. She was clearly just gazing at such a handsome creature. His smile could get any lady aroused. His body and scent were absolute turn ons. In high school and college, he was every lady's dream.
"Yes, yes. The lady she's in ward 867", the nurse answered.
"Okay thanks" he smiled as he went to the room.
"She must be his girlfriend or wife". The nurses whispered to one another as he was going to the room.
"Never!!!, he is mine. I would talk to him when he is out and ask for his number. Y'all will see." One of the nurses said out loud. They all laughed as they resumed their duties.
***********
"Hey" Asher said, sighting a beauty.
"OMG! She's a pretty princess" he thought.
"Hi," Vanessa answered. She just woke up from her long nap and really needed something to eat.
"Hello, my name is Asher. The man that helped you last night, asked me to pick you up." He said in his deep masculine tone.
Weak but already feeling aroused, Vanessa was smiling at the handsome man angel that had come to get her.
"Okay thank you". She answered.
They both smiled as he helped her get off the bed.
"We should grab some food and change your clothes. I have a place to be so please let's try to be fast." Asher said calmly. She literally didn't want to let go of his hands, but the stare from one of the nurses scared her and quickly she swung the hand off. Asher held her hand back and she smiled hard.
***************
Miles was deep in thought about what Selma had said to him on being a sh*t boyfriend. He got his coat on and headed to the police station. His girlfriend's brother, Trey, was now better and could walk around. Trey visited Lance in his ward and explained what happened to him. Trey was attacked by some boys whom his friend had bullied and beaten days ago. They felt since Trey was with them that day, he was among those who had him beaten up. It was not Andre's men like Miles thought.
***********
"We've got the location of your girlfriend", the policeman said.
Miles had just arrived at the police station and he was with Vanessa's phone. Selma had dropped it off with him at least to clear herself off the suspect list. That was actually why she went to his place, she just got there drunk and wanted revenge on Vanessa.
"Oh wow that's great" Miles yelled in relief.
"We will be heading there shortly. It's out of town", the policeman added.
"Omg… I just hope she's safe and fine" Miles said with guilt filled in his heart.
*************
"Thanks for the meal sir", Vanessa said.
"Hey it's Asher and you are welcome", the young man said and gave her a smile which released a lot of goosebumps on her skin. It was like she was screaming inside. His smile was really gorgeous. Just a few minutes later, Vanessa wore a moody look.
"You aren't eating anymore? You look sad", Asher asked.
"I , I just miss my family. It's been days." Vanessa answered. She started to narrate her kidnap and how she got out to where Mr Lorenzo helps her out. Suddenly, a call came in. It was his friends. He knew he already ran too late for the party. Asher explained to Vanessa why he was in such a hurry and thought.
"Would you love to go to the party with me?" Asher asked.
"Yes I would, but" Vanessa was speaking then he bursted in, "But you want to go home".
She nodded in agreement.
"I understand. A party next time?" he asked.
"Deal" she answered.
He drove her to his father's house and knew his Dad would take it up from there. He gave her his phone number card so she could at least place a call to him when she was home. He still did not open up to her that he was Lorenzo's son.
