Your Days Are Numbered Mr CEO

🌹Six Years Ago🌹

Sia hobbled toward the Evangelista villa looking ghastly

pale. Her skin were curtained with blotches of insect bite, her face littered

with charcoal.

Her brunette hair extremely tousled and her clothes were in

complete tatters.

She struggled to breathe as she gravitated toward the villa

with the last shreds of strength she had inside her.

When she approached the gate, that was luckily flung open,

Sia ambled inside, making a beeline straight to the threshold but suddenly a

voice jolted her to stop.

“Ms. Sia!!” she heard the person call out. It’s a man and

she’s familiar with the voice, hence she mustered the last strength she had and

pulled to a stop.

Sia twirled around to the angle from whence the voice

streamed and there stood the security man, Mike.

She didn’t feel the need to plaster a smile on her face like

she always does, so she pursed her lips in a thin line, waiting to hear what

Mike had to say.

Then, the man strode toward her and pulled to a stop right

in front of her, sneering.

“Mr. Lucas ordered us not to let inside the villa again.”

Came the man’s voice.

Hoping it was a mere joke as always, Sia let out a dry

chuckle. Having no strength to proceed with the seeming conversation with Mike,

she veered around and attempted to head into the villa.

To her utmost surprise, Mike tugged her wrist, harshly, that

she was just one breath away from falling down but luckily, she steadied her

pose.

Instantly, she swiveled around and lashed her weak eyes at

Mike and eventually asked,

“What’s this Mr. Mike? Why did you push me?”

Her voice was slightly above a whisper. She could feel the

water starting to form on the duct of her eyes.

“I told you calmly that Mr. Lucas strictly ordered not to

let you in!!” roared Mike, throwing his hands up in the air.

“Meaning? Is this my first time shuffling inside the

Evangelista's villa?” she managed to asked in between tears.

She just want to relay to Lucas what happened last night.

How she came back home and saw their house in the slum submerged in a sea of

fire.

How her mother got burnt yesterday by unknown people.

That’s just it. She wants to tell her man the problem she’s

facing.

The dilemma.

The depression of losing her mother last night in such a

gory way.

She’s the only one 

left in her family now.

Twelve years ago, she lost her younger brother Nicole in an

accident. However, his body wasn’t seen as people believe he got burnt too when

the car caught fire.

Lucas and Sia are from different worlds but love meshed them

together. They have just dated for a year now. And Lucas treats her with so

much respect and love.

So what’s wrong?

Why would he suddenly, out of the blue order the security

guards not to let her inside his abode again?

That’s impossible!

They were together yesterday and  when she arrived home she was greeted with

the most shocking scene of her life.

Her mother being burnt by fire.

“it’s not your first time Ms. Sia but that was the order we

got yesterday, from Mr. Lucas.” Answered Mike, keeping a straight face.

Huff, Sia shook her head. She turned and continued to take

strides into the building but Mike held her firmly in place again.

This time, more harshly that Sia felt searing pains flash

through her veins.

She winced. While she was struggling to free her wrist from

Mike’s grip, another security man zoomed toward them.

“What’s wrong Mike?” the second security man asked Mike.

“She’s stubborn. She wants to creep inside the villa against

Mr. Lucas’s orders.” Mike growled.

“What!!?” howled the second security man and immediately he

clung Sia's other wrist to help Mike in dragging her outside the villa.

“What are you both doing?” Sia screamed in shock.

“Let me go!!”

“let me go!!”

“Let me go!!!”

She wailed, struggling to duck from their tight grip.

‘When are we seeing each other again?’ Sia asked.

‘Tomorrow, baby!’ Lucas responded her.

Their final words yesterday night crossed through her mind,

vividly.

Lucas assured her they would meet today. He did and she’s

here to see him, so what are these men saying?

How possible is it that her own Lucas would restrain her

from venturing into his villa?

‘No, no this isn’t true. It can’t be true that he can

possibly say such a thing.’ She pondered inwardly. Still struggling to free

herself from their hold.

“I said let me go!!” she screamed again. 

A sudden wave of energy surged through her as she continued

to duck her hands from their vise grip.

“You go no where Ms. Sia. We are just following

instructions.” The other man said, looking her dead in the eyes.

“This is nonsense!” she routed. “We met last night and he

said I could come around today. So let me in and quit this childish act, for

chrissake!!” she howled like a wolf.

Her eyes was beginning to blear.

How she wish these two men will understand her plight and

let her inside so she could see him.

She immediately pinned her knees on the ground so they could

stop dragging her.

“Listen! Don’t let us use force on you, understand?” came

Mike’s voice.

“Why are you doing this?”

“It’s not our fault Ms. Sia. At all. This is an order we are

trying to follow.” Responded the second man.

Meanwhile, as this was ongoing, another lady dressed in a
