Chapter 102


    “I’ve told her to back off, but.”


    Rachel no matter how harshly he put it, she’s like a dog with a bone, day after day.


    That woman Rachel, she’s something else a real piece of work, a force to be reckoned with. She’s like


    the Energizer Bunny on steroids!


    Tyrone scoffed coldly, pretty sure he knew why Rachel was hounding him.


    Flipping through his contacts on his smartphone, he had his long fingers scroll up and down before


    stopping on Quintessa’s number. “That thing I asked you to dost time, how’s iting along?”


    James nodded, “It’s done. Thosepanies tied up with the Youngs have either pulled out or put their


    deals on ice. The Young family’s stocks took a nosedive recently.”


    Poor Sean’s hair had turned white overnight, and he had been scrambling for cash everywhere.


    Tyrone shook his head, “Not enough.”


    “Right, I’ll push them harder.”


    James mentally lit a candle for the Young family.


    That evening, Tyrone and Alexander were knocking back a few drinks.


    They barely exchanged a word; Tyrone sat there with a scowl, while flipping through his phone with


    evident irritation.


    Alexander couldn’t help but ask, “What’s with the phone? Waiting for a call? You’re totally out of it.”


    Tyrone cleared his throat, “Am I?”


    He felt a twinge of guilt, as if his inner turmoil had beenid bare.


    Alexander eyed Tyrone, “Definitely. You haven’t done something you’re regretting, have you?”


    Tyrone put down the phone and hesitated before asking, “Alexander, have you ever had a woman drive


    you so crazy that you hate her guts, so much so that sometimes you wish you could… you know, but


    just can’t bring yourself to do it? And then, when you realize you’ve got it all wrong about her, you get


    this panic?”


    Alexander paused mid–sip and looked at Tyrone as if he’d grown a second head, “Dude, are you in


    love?”


    Tyrone’s heart skipped a beat, but he scoffed, “Love? You kidding me?”


    Love?


    Please! Since when does that have anything to do with him?


    Alexander thought about the Tyrone he’d known since childhood, “Maybe, but you? Fall for someone?


    That’s a stretch.”


    Tyrone wasplex, a man who seemed transparent at times, yet confoundingly deep. One thing was


    for sure, Tyrone’s heart was icy and discerning; there wasn’t much that caught his eye, especially when


    it


    came to women.


    Feeling the previous topic a bit too ‘dangerous‘, Tyrone changed the subject, “What about that woman


    you were looking for? Any news?”

    ‘on’t even


    Alexander’s handsome face clouded over, “Nothing. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack know her


    real name, where she’s from, and I don’t have a single picture of her just the image in my


    head.”


    Tyroneughed, “You’re chasing a ghost, man.”


    “But I know I like her.” Alexander looked up at Tyrone earnestly, “It was love at first sight.”

    Tyrone mocked, “Love at first sight, huh? Alright, for the sake of your so–called love at first sight, I’ll


    help you find her. I’m curious to see who this enchantress is that’s got Alexander – of all people – head


    over heels.”


    “Yeah, a real enchantress – you’d fall for her too, in a heartbeat.”


    “Well, I can’t wait to meet this siren.”
