Secrets (12)

The next morning came and the usual routine repeats itself. Bryce is getting ready to go to his work when Alec storms out from his room upstairs and runs his way out the door.

"What's with him...?" He mumbles under his breath. Outside, he was running like crazy with a destination was set in his mind. He took a crumpled paper from his pocket and runs his eyes through it one time.

URGH!! Why did I not fucking notice this yesterday!?

He said to himself, ripping apart the of paper and runs faster. The pieces of paper that have been turned follow where the morning wind blows.

He runs following the direction that has been written of the. It leads him to an entrance of a huge building. Without thinking about it he tries to barge in. But of course, a building that giant, he was blocked by two buff-looking security guards.

"Let me in, fuckers!" He said trying to let go, but that only results the grips getting stronger.

"Let. Me. In!" The guards do nothing but throws him farther away. He stumbled away making a thud sound. His eyes darkened. Silently, he got up back on his foot and take a step back before launching a kick right at one of the guard's face.

A single kick makes him on his knees on the ground, groaning in pain. His palms covering his red face and blood starts dripping from his nose. The table flips. The other guard has his hand ready at his baton.

"You wouldn't" Alec said with his eyes locking his. He starts to clench both of his hands, getting ready to punch his ass. The guard took out his baton in a flash, attempting to hit Alec with it, but he was faster. Alec blocked it with his steady arm.

"Don't fucking get in my way!" He said sending a punch from his left hand right at his jaw. The guards neck can be heard crackling as blood spits from his mouth.

"Uh! Why did you do that?!" A woman from afar who is wearing the style of a rich business people, can be seen running towards him.

"Ugh... You beat them up pretty bad... But don't give it a second thought. Come with me, the boss is waiting". Hearing that coming from her mouth, he took a deep breath and step his foot into the huge building following her from behind.

- flashback -

Alec was making his bed in the morning just when he wakes up. For some reason, he wakes up early in the morning and did not wish to go back to sleep.

He took a cold shower and sits at the side of his bed. His jeans. The jeans that he wears yesterday suddenly caught his eyes. He slicks his hair back before gets up and checks it.

He flips all the pockets it has and he feels a crumpled piece of paper was there. He took it out and read it.

- end of flashback-

He follows her to an elevator and she pushes one of the button to go up. It was an awkward silence of

"I wonder what your business is with our boss". No answer. He keeps his eyes low, not wanting to make any conversation.

"Hey! Don't you have mouth?"

"Shut up. It's here". He answers firmly.

"Tch!" She said getting in pissed followed by Alec. The elevator moves where it was being set, which is at the top of the floor. Soon, they reach the floor and the woman walks out of it, stomping her heels.

"Shut up lady" Alec said from the back.

"Just shut it. We're almost there" she said still stomping. They walk until they reach the very end of it. There, a huge door can be seen decorated with gold all over.

"Oh wow..." He said low-key impressed. A look of satisfaction was written all over the woman's face. She knocks on the door and a voice can be heard saying ' come in '. She pushes the door open and there he is. Standing in front of his table, looking right at Alec.

Without hesitation, Alec jumped right at him and punch his face. The woman was terribly shocked. She tries to stop him, but the boss told her not to and asks her to get out of the room.

"Alec! This is how you greet me?" He said unexpectedly with a smile on his face.

"How... WHO?!" He said grabbing his collar, shaking him.

Come to my official business building at **** ** *****.

I have to confess something to you about the incident that occurs to you about nine years back. I just might know the person who did that. Please, feel free to come anytime.

;-)

(This is what written in the paper)

"Alec, I know where you live. You have to get out from. There before you reach 23". He said dead serious, switching from his smiley expression earlier.

"Oh, why..." He said stepping back with the screw on his knees loosening.

"I don't even know your name, yet you say mine like we've known each other for a long time..." He said, stumbled down and tears flowing. The man took this chance to tie his hand at the back.

"Alec. This is serious".

"OF COURSE THIS IS! WHY DID YOU THINK I RAN ALL THE WAY HERE TO SEE YOU?!" He said raging up. The man slaps him. He went dead silent. Slowly, he took his eyes away from the ground. He take his glasses away and introduces himself.

"My name is Karl. Karl H.u.n.t.e.r ." . Alec's eyes widened upon hearing his name.

"Karl...Hunter..?"

"You heard me right. You, are a hot talk among our family" he said grinning.

"...why?"

"Maybe because of your dead mother" he said placing his index finger on his forehead.

"Don't you talk ill about my mother!" He said squirming.

"Oh! I'm sorry man!"

"Get straight to the point, Karl".

" Your mom, she was an only daughter from a huge family. She was supposed to marry my father. But she ran away with your bastard father and because of that, my old man make me come all way to find you".

"What.."

"Oh, and you know why did you stay with that, motherfucker?"

"Who? Bryce?"

"Yes, that. It's because he was chased out of the family. Ungrateful bastard, still have some shame left to use our family's name" he said tapping his fingers on his wooden table.

"He was chased out? Then what about my mom's family?" Karl went silent upon hearing the question.

"Why did you go silent? Did something happened?"

"... You don't need to know that much"

Something must have certainly happened..
