Is there any possible way to kill someone in just seconds?

Or is there a way to reach a place, which is half an hour from here, in just one second?

Or is these any any way to kill someone without actually being with them?

If you have answers of any of these questions then tell me because if not, I will go blind with the anger that I am feeling. And let me tell you that I am currently driving. A stolen car.

Stolen from my 'homely home'. Yeah, I stole the car from 'my-house-for-one-year'.

Let me list down the tremendously infuriating happening of today.

I woke up with the sun shining on my face as usual, and making me groan thereby waking me up. I came inside the room from the balcony(where I was sleeping on the lounge chair), and like everyday - didn't find Mr. Apathetic. I don't know if he came back in the room yesterday because I was too busy sleeping to notice that. But a bright envelope on the bed caught my eye. I picked it up and began to read and the more I read, the angrier I became.

What the actual fuck is this?! Did Ace hit his head last night instead of me?

No, hitting his head also won't make him do this. He must be serioussllyyy ill. Or he was just being himself. Is he taking revenge for yesterday or something? But I just ..... cooked him? Or called him Mr. Apathetic? Or that I bickered with him incessantly?

Whatever the reason was, this is really not acceptable.

I quickly bathed and did everything in my daily routine. Then very quickly I dressed due to my anger towards Ace and eagerness to meet him in face and punch him. I put on a white top and paired it with back ripped jeans. Hastily I put on some lip gloss and sandals.

Then, I sprinted downstairs and dashed into the garage, not turning around even when Jenn asked me what happened. I just waved at her and said "See you later, gotta go. Need to take care of an egoistic Mr. Apathetic."

Afterwards, I threatened the driver into giving me the keys of the car; he was hesitating and was saying that he needed to ask Ace first. So I played along and nodded. But as soon as he took his phone out probably dialing Ace's number, I took the keys poking out of his shirt pocket while he was asking Ace whether he could give me the keys.

Then I ran towards the nearest car and put the key in praying it to be the right one while the driver shouted from behind "Stop! Boss is saying you would pay if you don't li-"

But I cut him off when the engine started and shouted "Tell your boss to be ready for my wrath. I am on my way to his office. He should start his fucking countdown." Then - I drove off.

So that is how I have finally reached Mr. Apathetic's office. And trust me when I say that it is huge. The long tower in front of me was magnificent. The architect who designed this is seriously talented!

I stopped gaping at the building and went towards the entry gate.

Are they going to let me go inside?

Of course not, stupid.

Never minding my conscience, I held my head in confidence as I approached the guards standing there. The six feet, muscular men who were dressed in all black, blocked the gate as I started to go inside.

What the hell? I know that they are dressed like Men in black, but hey! I am not an alien/enemy/paranormal creature who is attacking the Earth.

"You are Miss Eva right?" One of them asked.

"Yeah...so what?" I asked instantly. How the fuck do they know me?

"You are not allowed inside. Sorry ma'am." Other guard said.

What the actual hell?

"I think you are mistaken, I am not here-" I tried to explain but the man in black shut me by saying "We had instructions from Boss that we have to stop you. He even gave us your photo telling us to be careful because you are quite obstinate."

"I am obstinate? What the...? " I said shocked.

"Oh yeah I am? Didn't he tell you that he is Mr. Apathetic?" I spat at them.

They looked at me as if they had seen Hannah Baker standing in front of them even though she is supposed to be dead.

It was no use talking to them. I need to think of something. I turned around and went away pretending to give up going inside. But of course I wasn't giving up just yet.

Once I was out of their sight, I secretly went towards the backside of the building to find a back door or something , but to my bad - there was none. But surprisingly I found a better thing. The fire alarm.

An idea sprang into my mind and following my witty brain, I quickly went to the nearest shop to the office. I brought cigarettes' and a lighter. Then I hurriedly went towards the fire alarm at the backside of the office building. I lit up the cigarette with the lighter and kept it in near the fire alarm detector.

"And now we wait." I said to myself proudly.

"5...4....3...2...and......1!" I whisper-shouted to myself.

At that very second the fire alarm went off with the sirens filling the whole office.

Yes! The smoke from the burning cigarette made the fire alarm to detect and thus it went off. I threw the cigarette and smashed it with my foot.

I then went back towards the front entry gate of the office where, as I had thought, the guards were not there.

They must be seeing what triggered the alarm and evacuating the building. Serves them right for messing with me.

I crept inside the office building because it would not be long before they figure out that the alarm was false. It was very difficult to find Mr. Apathetic's cabin/room in this massive building. So naturally, I had to ask for help. The people around were running around here and there, trying to get out of the building.

I stopped one of the women, and asked her "Do you know where I can find Mr. Apa....I mean Mr. Ace Parker?"

"Are you mad? The fire alarm is ringing, why do you want to go inside instead of out side? " She asked.

"I just want-" I was cut off by the woman.

"I don't care if you have a suicide wish. He is on the 23rd floor." She said and turned around to run.

"Oh okay. Thanks. And I am sorry for the chaos!" I shouted behind her but she was already gone.

Shaking my head, I was about to go towards the elevator when I saw the deviously handsome face of Mr. Apathetic, coming out of the elevator. He looked around at everyone and the commotion with a frown. And then, his grey eyes landed on me.

Oh shit.

He looked at me with confusion, then shock, then realization hit his eyes, then anger reflected on his face.

He knows.

He knows that I triggered that alarm. He could fucking tell it just by looking at me. Why the hell is he so intelligent/clever?

Without wasting a second, he came towards me with long strides and soon was in front of me. No, I am not going to cower away, not after that fucking thing I saw in the morning.

I also went forward towards him to show that I wasn't afraid.

"Why the fuck did you do all this?" He asked in a low and threatening voice.

Don't be afraid, he can't do anything.

"Because your bodyguards weren't allowing me to come in." I said confidently.

"That is because I asked them not to." He shouted.

By now everyone had stopped running and were watching us bicker/ fight.

So they prefer to watch the drama than to save their life? So, be it.

"And why the hell would you do that?" I asked offended.

"My office. My rules." He said shrugging as if it is nothing.

"You fucking sent me a honeymoon couple ticket in the morning. You think you could do anything?" I shouted at me. The audience gasped around us. I don't know it was because someone shouted at their jerk boss or because they thought the idea of honeymoon was amusing.

---flashback----

But a bright envelope on the bed caught my eye. I picked it up and began to read and the more I read, the angrier I became. Inside it was a honeymoon suite for two booked with my and Ace's name.

What the actual fuck?

I am not going to some honeymoon with that jerk. I would die before I do that. And is this some new plan of Ace to hurt me or take revenge?

---end-----

"Did you hit your head hard last night?" He asked confusingly.

"Oh shut up. I thought the same for you. But getting hit on head would not make you book a fucking honeymoon for us." I shouted.

"You think I did that?" He asked as if he didn't know anything.

"Then who the hell did it? Did Santa Claus came to my room and delivered it as an advance gift for Christmas?!" I asked sarcastically.

"Why the fuck would I book a holiday in hell with you? "He asked.

"OH I don't know. Maybe it's your stupid idea of getting back at me?" I said.

"Don't you dare put the blame on me. I didn't do it you psycho woman." he yelled at me.

"Psycho? What the hell did you call me? Psycho? I am a psycho? Aren't you the one who is a runway asylum patient?" I yelled at him.

"How dare you use that tone with me?!" He said furiously.

"The same way that you did, you Mr. Apathetic." I said.

"No one fucking talks to me like that. Neither can you." He said venomously.

"And what the fuck are you all looking at? Don't you have-" He was cut off because of the freezing sensation or shock he must be feeling.

I had poured a bucket full of water which was kept beside us to extinguish the fire. But voila! There was no fire. So I couldn't let the water go waste. I used it for something productive- pouring it over Mr. Apathetic so that he learns his lesson for messing with me.

I kept the bucket aside and looked at Mr. Apathetic in satisfaction. He was soaked with water from head to toe. The suit he wore clung to his body and one could see the shape of his tense muscles. The water made his well-gelled hair to fall on the face, tickling his eyes. He was clenching and unclenching his fist in anger and his eyelashes had droplets of water in it. His grey eyes were dark due to anger, making me think If I was going to make it alive out of this office.

Be strong, Eva.

I could see girls fanning over Ace's wet look(which I admit, was a delicious view.). The audience was still watching the show, some were whispering, some looked shocked, some just stared and some didn't know what to do.

"this would help to cool down your anger." I said taunting.

Ace wiped some of the water droplets from his face and was trembling with...of course, anger. He was ready to lunge at me anytime.

"You fucking threw-" He stopped suddenly and the next second - cold water came over my head, making me wet from head to toe.

What the actual hell.

The water seeped into my clothes and my hair was cladded with water droplets. I must be looking like an actual mess right now. He threw the whole bucket of water at me. Now, it was my turn to glare at him but before I could do that, something happened.

Ace's head titled towards left as he observed me from head to toes, then his lips turned upwards and slowly, he gave a smile. A genuine, small smile.

Did I look that funny?

I touched my hair to notice that it was twisted in weird manner due to the force of water. I tried to flat it down with my finger but it was unhelpful due to the lack of mirror, as I can't see how I look.

I looked down at myself to see that my white top was clinging to me because it was wet making it look almost transparent. My blue bra was kind of visible and the v neck of the top didn't help either. Fuck.

Ace seemed to notice this and thankfully my uncomfortableness, as he ordered the audience to go back to work and that the alarm was false. everyone slowly went back to their work and Ace's frown was back. I stood their, not knowing what to do. I felt like I wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it to hide. I was feeling really embarrassed and uncomfortable. Ace staring at me didn't help either.

"If you keep staring at me, I would throw one more bucket of water at you and then dig the floor and go hide in it." I muttered loud enough so that he could hear it.

He removed his eyes from me and started to look anywhere but me. He then looked at me again and started coming towards me.

"Listen, I am done playing this. If you are to me to again throw water or something, then I warn you that if you do that I am going to tell Jennifer....... And then she would scold you..... and if you do that then the consequences will be disturbing and just stop,.... don't you come towards me ........ I would file a complaint in the police, if you don't sto-" I shut my rambling when I saw that he took off his coat and wrapped it over my shoulder.

Is he being nice?

I think I am going to faint.

Did the scientists found a 10th planet? Has the 8th wonder of the world being found? How can Mr.Ace Parker be nice to me?!

"Uhh..okay..I won't file a complaint or tell Jennifer. Thank you. I know it is huge for me, and that I could easily drown in it but thanks." I said surprised.

"Come with me." He said and started to walk. I thought he might go back to his cabin but to my surprise he went to the exit of the office. Is he going to take me to the police for triggering a false alarm?

Reluctantly, I started following him. Once we were outside the office, a car was ready with the driver and Ace sat in it. Should I get in?

"Are you not going to sit?" Came Ace's irritated voice from inside.

"Uhh...I brought one of your cars..it's parked outside." I said.

"I will ask someone to get it. Now sit, before I ask the driver to start without you." He said.

I quickly sat beside him in the back seat, because I knew he would actually leave me if I didn't.

The car started and for exactly two minutes and 23 seconds, no one spoke. After that it was unbearable so I started speaking.

"So will you now tell me why you put that envelope with tickets for honeymoon on the bed?" I asked the question I have been asking him since the past half an hour.

"I am going to say it the last time. I didn't put that fucking envelope there. " He said gritting his teeth and looking straight into my eyes.

"Oh..okay." I said hesitantly. Is he speaking the truth?

If he didn't do that then who did?

"If not you then who would do that?" I asked both myself and Ace.

Ryder isn't here, John wouldn't do that, nor will Jess or Jake..that leaves....

"Jennifer!" I and Ace said at the same time.

"Of course, who else will do such sappy thing?" Ace muttered to himself and slamming his fist on the car seat.

"We are not going, right?" I asked him because in no hell I would go with him, and I am sure he thinks the same.

"Do you really think that I am willing to leave my important meetings and work for such stupid things?" He said like it is the most obvious thing.

Yeah, stupid. Of course.

I know that I only said that I don't want to go but somewhere deep down I was hurt. After all I am married. Every girl dreams of her marriage and honeymoon. How excited every girl is to spend time with their husbands but in my case that's kind of impossible. I am never gonna be an ordinary married woman.

I looked out of the window, staring at the passing by surroundings thinking how everything- Jenn, John, marriage and all - will pass by after some time like these surrounding that we are leaving behind as we are going forward.

After that, none of us spoke and only the sound of the driver driving the car echoed in the car. The silence between me and Ace was something that was a constant whenever we were together.

Soon we reached inside the 'homely house' and went inside. Jenn came to us when she heard the door of the mansion opening. She stopped in her tracks when she saw both of us dripping wet from head to toe. Shit, I forgot about that.

"What the hell happened to you both?!" She stared at us and spoke.

"Why did you book those tickets? " Ace asked ignoring Jennifer's question.

"What tick-....Oh okay. those are for you. Of course so that you two could spend some time alone. it's you honeymoon ticket Estevan. It's a reception gift for you two from my side." She said giggling like she has done the best thing for us.

"It's not happening. I have got my meetings. " Ace said and was about to leave the hall to go to his room when Jennifer stopped him and started saying something.

"Okay I will drop it if you do every single thing that I tell you to do for the next forty eight hours."

What is she saying?

"I do that always. You know I can do anything for you"

WHAT?

Is it weird if I am totally clueless about what Jennifer is quoting?

"I hope you remember what you promised that night. So now, will you go?" Jennifer asked again.

Ace turned around with realization hitting his face.

"you did that on purpose?! It was your fucking plan?" He said.

What plan? What promise?

"I am waiting for the answer Estevan." Jennifer said again.

Ace clenched his jaw in anger while I stood there looking between both of them, trying to decipher what the hell was happening.

"Fine we will go." He said gritting his teeth after a moment and then he turned and stormed off to his room.

"Congratulation Eva! you are going for your honeymoon tomorrow morning! Start packing." Jennifer said and hugged me.

"I am going to do the preparations." She added and then pulled away from me. She then went leaving me standing there is shock.

I stood there transfixed on my place, staring at nothing in particular and muttered to myself-

"What the hell just happened in the last two minutes?"
