Icarus Rose [TRANSLATION]

Chapter Fifty Three

An explosion led the six owners of the house to run towards the field of roses. Zayn's eyes filled with tears as he saw half the field on fire, there were already guards with fire extinguishers trying to put out the fire, but still, it was the work of generations burning.

"Who the hell did this?!" He yelled as he charged towards the guards, stomping his feet and reeking with fury.

Behind him, Liam was calling more guards to investigate the area, Louis was holding Harry by the waist, as he had swayed a bit at the scene, Niall was standing just watching the whole scene, Shawn caressing his arm.

"We are not sure, Mr. Malik, we saw movement in this section of the field, when we were going to enter it exploded and we almost lost three guards," reported one of the alphas who were putting out the fire.

"Boss!" another yelled and Zayn looked at him, his eyes were cold, he was furious "We found something, come with me."

They began to walk through what was part of the field of roses, until in the centre, where the explosion had apparently originated, they found the remains of a corpse, blood, burned skin, organs, bones practically turned to dust, and as it was expected, pieces of metal that Zayn claimed were from the bomb.

"If my assumptions are correct, I can easily deduce that someone sent a scapegoat with the bomb," the guard announced and Zayn gave him a wry look.

"Anything else to add to your little research report, genius?" He asked, venom seeping into his voice. "Of course they sent a scapegoat! Incompetent alphas!" He yelled angrily and stamped his feet on the ground. "The question here is how did they get into the house? Who allowed them access?!"

Everyone was looking closely at Malik, neither Louis nor Niall dared to get close, much less Liam. Harry quietly positioned himself next to him, put his hand on the omega's shoulder and gave him a small smile. He was worried, but someone had to stay calm in this situation.

"Liam is already investigating, Zee, we're going to find out who it was and how they got in," assured the curly.

"We better do it, because heads are going to roll and they better belong to the guilty ones," the boss declared and began to walk towards the house, under the watchful eye of everyone present.

In his office trying to find a way to balance the losses they would suffer from that incident, Louis received a call.

His omega was with Liam trying to find out what happened, Zayn was with the medical examiners to analyse the remains and Niall was reorganising the most important deliveries, this was going to cause them enough difficulties.

"Louis Tomlinson," the alpha said calmly, he couldn't convey his concern for what was happening at that moment.

"Mr. Tomlinson, this is Frank Bullock, I'm contacting you because there have been some problems with the transportation of the wine, there is too much demand, and we are contemplating terminating some transportation business, including our business with you, there is a customer that..."

"Am I listening correctly, Mr. Bullock?" Louis interrupted, incredulous.

"As I was saying, there is a client who offers us more than you offer us, sir." Louis rolled his eyes. "Wouldn't you like to make an appointment? I'll be in New Zealand in two days, we could meet at your property there."

"At the moment I have a lot of things to take care of with my other business, sir, can't we postpone it for another time?" Louis proposed, but he heard the man snort on the other end of the line.
