“Let me in!” Landon snarled at the two bodyguards in front of my door, desperate to see me. “Don’t you know who I am?” Phillip chuckled. “You are a rat compared to Mr Jones. Leave before-” I then opened my door, hearing all of the ruckus outside.
“What’s going… on… Landon? What are you doing here?” “Alice!” He grabbed my shoulders and smiled. “Don’t worry, I’m going to get you out of here! You’re trapped, right?”
He’s concerned for me. That’s sweet. “I’m sorry if you misunderstood, Landon. I’m happy to be here.” “But you’re all alone! It’s not fair on you!” I smiled. “I get why you were concerned. But don’t worry, really I’m fine. And I’m not alone.” I put my hand on my stomach and immediately, his eyes tensed.
“You… you’re pregnant?” I nodded. “Surprise!” He couldn’t believe this… the man who I should be with was him. The man who I should be marrying is him. The man who should be the father of my child is him. All of those thoughts raced through his head as he slowly fell apart. There was only one way to do this… to get me back.
“I won’t give up on you, Alice. Not now, not ever!” He then ran down the corridor. I sighed. I guess that he still doesn’t approve of Zack. I then looked to Phillip. “Do you guys want to have breakfast with me? I accidently made too much for myself.”
“You are too kind, Madam. You really don’t-” I smiled. “Everyone deserves a meal, Pierre. Even hard-working bodyguards like you! If you’re concerned, isn’t it safer to be right by my side? Eat with me!”
The two men suddenly understood how I enchanted Michael Jones. Meanwhile, as I sat down at the table, a sniper positioned on the roof of the building next door aimed right for my head. A cigarette in his mouth, he grinned. “Such an easy 50 million. Goodbye, little girl!”
Just as he went to pull the trigger, a voice from behind him made him jump. “Shooting at my girl? You surely jest.” Turning around, he turned pale as his hands shook. “Y-You… please, have mercy, Joker. I didn’t know that she was yours, I swear!” He grinned. “Too late. Say your prayers, for I am the Joker. The most unpredictable card in the deck.”
A large and noisy shot resonated throughout the roof, yet when people arrived, all they saw was a dead body with a card in the man’s mouth. The card of the Joker, the trademark of the notorious assassin who is uncatchable. All people know is that he wears a black cloak and a mask. And those who come to pass him… always die a painful death.
