Maniac

Royal Stars Hotel.

Kylie climbed out of her car and gazed at the hotel before her... arranging her facial expression she smoothed out the crease on her clothes pick up her purse and handled over the key to the security..... entering into the restaurant her eye scanned around all the tables and she noticed her grandma sitting at a secluded corner with her personal maid standing behind her.

Clearing her throat one more time, she moved towards her grandma with slow elegant motion...stopping before the matriarch she bowed her head in greeting...

" Hello grandma, how have you been "

Maria scowled inwardly at her granddaughter's attempt to appear prim and proper before her...she chuckled to herself and beckoned her to take a seat...

Kylie nodded at her grandma's gesture, sitting down on the chair directly opposite the matriarch who was yet to honor her greetings.

It was really an awkward situation.

" have been doing excellent and you dearest Kylie how are you, seems like you are not feeding properly....you look way too skinny " the matriarch remarked scanning Kylie with her eyes.

" Have been doing well and eating regularly granny, "

Tapping the table with her finger, the Matriarch signaled her maid.....and the maid passed an invitation that was held between her fingers behind her back to Kylie.

Kylie picked up the invitation card and scanned through it....raising her gaze toward her grandma with a questioning look in her eyes, she wondered why this was handed to her.

" You have to come to my birthday party, no excuse will be tolerated, okay?? "

" Yes granny " Kylie responded and decided it was time to break the tension in the room " I missed you so so much granny " and held unto her grandma's hand on the table.

Granny Maria looked at her foolish granddaughter and patted her hands saying " you know if you really missed me, you wouldn't have left me "

" Am sorry granny, I did think about you and grandpa and left like am so sorry "

" It's alright, just promise not to miss my birthday party okay?? " Maria muttered trying to keep up her strict facade, stood up

" Also I wonder prefer if you gifted me your presence on my special day " and walked off with her Maid in trail.

Kylie cleared the tears brimming at the corner of her eyes and sighed her granny was still the same always trying to keep up her strict appearance but was very kind at heart.

Outside, Maria wiped away the tears falling from her eyes inside the car trying not to show her happiness.

" Madam, I think you don't really have to pretend before the young Miss.... she understands you well and knows you are worried about her " the Maid mumbled looking at the Matriarch with a concerned and worried gaze in her eyes.

" I know that already Kate, it's just that little girl ran off by her but now she is all grown up and that too without the love of her parents..... and I also failed in giving her that love "

" Madam, am sure she knows you love her a lot and is not angry or mad at you....you just did your responsibility as the head of the family " Kate replied and handed granny Maria an handkerchief to clean up her face.

" Yes, I guess so " Grandma Maria muttered and wiped away the tears on her face.

UNKNOWN LOCATION 📌📌📌📌

Nathan looked down at the two men who were bleeding profusely on the floor and unconscious after the many beating they had received from his men....which had not even gotten to the final stage.

Gesturing to Xander who nodded....he pushed a button on the table and hot water surged out from the ceiling and fell onto the unconscious men on the floor, who immediately became conscious....screamed out in grief.

Nathan cocked his head looking down at the two pathetic men on the floor with gaze, he stared down at them for a while as they wallowed in pain from the hot water....he flicked the button and the water stopped flowing.

The two men, cried out in agony at the burning feeling in their skin....they wondered why they felt like their skin was being pulled apart.

Nathan burst out in a soul crawling laughter a lifeless gaze in his eyes.....he was like the devil himself, staring at the idiots crying out in agony on the floor he cocked his head to one side and muttered in a low tone, wickedness dripping from his voice.

" Do you feel like, your skin is being pulled out or do you feel like dying now..... but I can't help you now, I don't kill people "

" Please please spare us, we will tell you who sent us please?? "

" Ha..ha..ha, do you think I can't find out who sent you, you should have answer when my men asked nicely.... I could have helped then but now am helpless " Nathan said with a straight innocent gaze.

" Do you why you feel like you're being pulled apart, huh?? I added something to that water, want to guess what it is?? " Nathan asked drawing closer to them.

The two men shook their heads in denial, not wanting this man who was behaving like a mad man close to them.

They scurried backwards looking for where to hid from Nathan who was laughing like a demon.

Nathan's men felt a chill crawling up their spines and couldn't help but feel terrified....they had never seen him behave this madly before, right now they felt like he was the devil himself.

Xander gazed at his boss expressionless, he was all too familiar with his boss to know he only behaved this crazy when his family and loved ones where put in danger....he was neither worried nor anxious for himself but rather felt pity for the two who were going to turn into diced meat sooner than expect.

All he had to do was fold his hands and watch the drama unfold.
