The Law of Attraction

The old man smirked, hearing the sarcastic comments from the boss' man about his way of admiring good people.

"I want to play with kindhearted people… I want them to realize that not all good deeds will be rewarded handsomely. I want her to regret doing all these kind gestures to others." he scorned, followed by an evil laugh.

The man on the passenger seat handed him an envelope and said, "We will follow that plan so make sure there are no loopholes. The boss trusts you to facilitate everything with the utmost care."

"By the way, I heard the boss has a new toy who is requesting a lot of things…"

"Oh yeah, it's the first time the boss lasted that long in playing. I guess that toy is really good… Why are you curious?" the man on the passenger seat turned around to look at the old man who gave him a grin and said, "I want to play with that toy as well."

He shook his head and scorned, "Dream on, old man… We are only dogs who follow our master, so we can't afford to touch anything they own. All we can do is obey orders..."

"But this dog bites…" After the old man said those words, the next thing the man felt was pain, from a sharp slit on his throat and he saw blood oozing out.

"Why…" he managed to utter, terrified.

"I don't like how you talk, stupid…" the old man whispered maniacally with an evil laugh as he watched the boss' man close his eyes.

The driver was taken aback and he also felt something sharp pointed at him from his side.

"Drive… I might end up sparing your life…" the old man instructed. The driver nervously drove as instructed. He had heard a lot about the old man and it was not at all good.

He knew his life would not be spared so he began thinking of a way on how he could escape him. The old man could sense that the driver was distracted, he knew what he might be thinking.

"Don't worry. I will spare your life because I will ask you to relay something important to the boss, so just focus on driving and don't think of any more unnecessary ideas that will only put your life in more danger." the driver heard the old man speak.

He drove as the old man instructed and silently prayed for his life to get spared.

Soon this news arrived to the boss through the driver who was spared.

"That old man!" he grunted with gritted teeth.

"What should we do to him?" his assistant asked.

He massaged his temple with his eyes closed but then felt soft hands snaking his neck so he opened his eyes and smiled at the beauty hugging him from behind.

"What do you think I should do to him? That man is truly a pain in the ass…" he complained with a smile.

"He's still useful… Let him do the dirty work for you. Let him do it all." he heard her comment with her sweetest smile.

"But boss he's so lousy that we would have to constantly clean up after his mess." his assistant interrupted with a crumpled face. He was already tired of disposing bodies of people killed by that old psycho man.

"Let's admit, he's lousy but competent, he has been doing the job flawlessly. Let him kill all he wants because he lives for that. We will eliminate him once his purpose is served..." the boss murmured, giving his assistant a sharp glare.

"Keep him for now, love and let's watch him kill all those people who will be a hindrance for you and your way... and my way…"

*******

At Sy Mansion.

"Mom please… This is very serious so you must avoid being stubborn. That tight security is needed. He is alive…" Lana stated on the other line.

The personal bodyguards her husband assigned to her mother reported how her mother would dismiss them most of the time and Lana was not happy about it.

"We are not even sure about that dear. He could be dead as it said in the report." Mrs. Huang commented.

She understood that her daughter and son-in-law were worried but she was too suffocated with this tight security, even in the restroom of her office someone had to stay on guard. She had no privacy.

There was a moment of silence, and then Mrs. Huang heard Lana's little sobs.

"Are you crying dear?" she worriedly asked, making her daughter cry was the last thing she wanted.

"Yes I am mom. Because I know that man and he will show you no mercy. I will stay with you starting tomorrow if you will still refuse to be watched under tight security." Lana sniffed because she was really worried.

"Alright dear, please stop crying and I will do what they say. I will no longer dismiss them so please dear calm down." Mrs. Huang quickly reassured her and so Lana stopped sobbing. For some reason, Lana still felt uneasy even though Liam assured the tight security.

"Dear, getting worried won't do any good to you and the baby so please calm yourself. I promise I won't be stubborn, Lana…" Mrs. Huang reiteraterated, feeling guilty for making her daughter worry.

The call ended, Liam who was only silently listening, hugged Lana from behind.

"If you want we can have mom here with us. Convince her to stay at Sy mansion for a while, love…" Liam whispered. He would prefer that his mother-in-law stayed with them rather than being alone at Huang mansion.

"I will, love. I will pick her up tomorrow whether she likes it or not. I will drag her with me because I'm really worried. I want her to stay with me until this issue is resolved." Lana whispered.

She knew how that monster thought and if he was really alive… It would be her mother who he would target first.
