Venged Love

I'm an orphan

Three days had flew by, Anabel arrived early to work with a complete glow.

"Good morning Alyssa" she greeted.

"Good morning Anabel,you look different, I like it" she replied.

Just as they were discussing, a delivery man came in with a bouquet of flowers.

"A delivery for miss Anabel" he said.

"I'm the one" Anabel signed the document and smelled the flowers.

"Not bad" she humored.

Dylan who had just walked in, paused to notice the smile on Anabel face.

"There is a card in it" Alyssa pointed at the flowers.

Anabel picked out the card and read "With love from Luca, who is luca? she asked.

"OH he is the man that got escorted out of our meeting a few times back.

Hearing Luca name, Dylan's anger rose as he walked past them ignoring their greetings.

Alyssa,"Good morning Sir"

Anabel,"Good morning Sir"

They stared at each other as they couldn't understand why he didn't respond to them.

Entering his office, Dylan punched the wall to vent out his anger, which happened to be the same time Anabel walked in.

"Are you crazy" she yelled.

"let me see that".

She grabbed his hand and massaged it.

"It's nothing, he pulled his hand away as he sat down.

Anabel opened her bag and brought out a cream, She walked up to him, held his hand as she sat on his desk and applied it.

He looked at her affectionately as she gently blew air on his hand,

Dylan, "Tell me, is there anyone important in your life?

Anabel, "No sir"

Dylan," Not even family or friends"

Anabel," I am an orphan Sir, I don't have friends.

He felt pain in his heart realising that she had no parents, he wished he could give her everything in the world, but first he had to win her over.

After she was done, she got up to leave but he held her,

"Stay" he whispered.

Anabel dragged a chair and sat close to him as he laid his head on her shoulders.

Being with her made him forget all his worries, for the past few days he had been working tirelessly to find his father's killer but kept on meeting a dead end, even the waiter who was knocked out had nothing to offer.

They sat for a while enjoying the silence until they slept off.

John entered Dylan's office and was shocked to see Dylan's resting his head on Anabel's shoulders, and Anabel resting her head on his head, he couldn't help but take a picture as he smiled and left.

The day has gone by quickly as Anabel arrived home holding the bouquet of flowers, she dropped her bag and jacket in the house as she retired to the backyard, she dropped the flowers at where her mother was buried.

"Hi Mom, she paused, I have finally taken revenge on Delvin for you and Dad, I promise you, I will find the boy and he will pay for what he had done".

She sat down for two hours talking until she retreated to the house, watching TV, the same unfamiliar number called her again, she stayed a few seconds before picking.

"Hello" a familiar voice said.

"Hello, she tried to recall whose voice it was until, she figured it out.

"Mr Dylan, How may I help you? she added.

Dylan smiled as she used a casual but respectful tone to talk to him.

"We have a dinner meeting tomorrow, I couldn't inform you earlier" he said,

"Okay" she answered and disconnected the call.

Dylan had just wanted to hear her voice before he closed his eyes, After hearing her voice, he wanted more.

The idea of an outing popped up but he couldn't bring himself to ask directly, so he had to trick her.

James knocked at Dylan's door before walking in,

James, "Boss, these are the names of the people your father had offended, Dylan collected the paper as he looked at the long list of names filling three pages.

"Did you check for any connection between the names? He asked.

"Yes boss, James handed over a two pages sheet to him.

Dylan signalled for him to leave as he went through the names, when he got to Frank Leopard, he unintentionally stopped and lit a cigarette, then continued scrolling.

Dylan woke up early as he went through his closet, wearing an Ash suit with a white shirt, he couldn't help but feel happy as he left the mansion.

Arriving at the office, he had hoped to see Anabel as usual when he walked in,

"Good morning Sir" Alyssa greeted.

He nodded his head as he proceeded to his office.

He called Anabel through the office line requiring for her presence, few minutes later, Anabel strolled in in a beautiful green flair dress with her hair styled with curls.

Looking at her, he gulped down hard,

"You called for me Sir" she asked,

"uhmm, yes" as he began searching his desk, looking for anything he could give to her, he pulled out an old file and gave it to her, "Read it and review it".

Anabel collected the file and turned to walk away, "Do it here", he pushed his computer towards her and signalled for her sit.

Dylan read a newspaper as he watched her every move, he wished he could stay like this forever when he heard a growl from Anabel's stomach.

Anabel smiled at him " Mr Dylan, can I have a break?

Dylan, " No"

Anabel, I have been working since"

Dylan, " I don't care"

It was not that he didn't care, but he didn't want her out of his sight, He picked up his phone and order some snacks "at my office, thank you".

Thirty minutes later, Alyssa came in with a delivery, "Give it to Anabel" Dylan stated.

Alyssa handed over the snacks to Anabel as she smiled at her, Anabel picked out a sandwich, and hamburger and a cola.

She smiled at him as she began eating, he continued reading his newspaper but kept on watching her eat.

A call came in as he picked it, "Boss we found something".
