Chapter 31:"Y-You… that bitch sent you?""That bitch bit a huge chunk of my skin off like a wild animal." Mr Williams eyes deepened as he relived the sour memories. He laughed in intoxication and continued. "You know what I did? Hahaha I pushed the young bitch again the pink dressing mirror I got her off 70 percent discount and fuxked shxt out of her until her legs were weak and her internal organs displaced from their original position." A confident smile appeared on his face as if proud of his inhumane deeds. " Took her to my usual doctor, James, that bastard had been demanding too much lately because of the stupid lawyers whose name and company I didn't even bother to check, that insignificant bitch. Apparently she's now a plaything for Julian, I can't even touch her anymore. Then again, what do I need a broken shoe for. Once a shoe is used over and over again,broken, fixed and used again, it has to be tossed out. " Mr Williams downed another drink. Tess sucked in a deep breathe

Chapter 33: "Ruben De Vries, answer me!" Are you still in denial of your feelings?!"Let's go." Ruben withdrew his gaze from Mr William's unconscious figure and left.He knew Mr William's bodyguards knocked out by his bodyguards would soon regain consciousness and rush him to the hospital so there was no need to call an ambulance. He could order his bodyguards to call an ambulance but he refused to, as long as Mr Williams doesn't die, even if he's brain dead, as long as he is conscious enough to attend the court hearing, Ruben had no intention to help. He was that ruthless. If Tess didn't have a case with Mr Williams, Ruben would have made sure he disappeared without a trace, and suffer a fate worse than death. … Tess woke up the next morning feeling great. The court hearing was the next day, she had to resume work early to make sure all the proper paperwork was ready, the evidence was submitted and all other necessary procedures. Luke tagged along gingerly. Compared to working

Chapter 35: "Father? "Luuk had commenced the two weeks training of the department of software engineering, he had initially started with the elite team but after seeing their keen interest in learning and rate of improval, he began with the members of the software engineering department. Engaging them in difficult but specific tasks according to their strengths and also working on their weaknesses. Their behavior took a 180 degree turn In comparison to how they treated Luuk earlier, at the sight of his skills, they couldn't help but succumb to his authority. Luuk admired this method of taming people. Fear is a method commonly used to earn the respect of others but that's not true respect. Skills, authority, wealth, and the temperament to lead a group of people into success is what he admired the most about Ruben and he could finally put it to use. The fear of a person is different from the fear of a person's skills and intelligence and the things they could accomplish in an ungodl

Chapter 37: " Since when did my wife become your girlfriend Dr Lucas? "Ruben hit the gas pedal like a pro, skillfully avoiding the barrage of cars on the road while checking on Tess. He does car races occasionally as a hobby so he could handle this much.Tess was bounded by the seat belt, the seat inclined to the back and a soft neck pillow held her neck in place. She looked lifeless with pale face and lips, and blood dripped out of the gashing wound, even with Ruben’s napkin tied across her head to put pressure on the to and prevent bleeding. They arrived at the nearest hospital within 12 minutes, a trip that would usually take 30 minutes. Ruben hurried out of the car, carrying Tess into the emergency ward. The doctors were currently busy but a nurse came forward to inquire about the situation. "What's wrong sir?" the nurse asked in a soft tone, fluttering her eyelashes and her cheeks burned red. Ruben was instantly pissed, he could tell her intentions weren't pure. He ignored h

Chapter 39: "Why are you here?" Ruben was Lowkey surprised his ghost bodyguards were compromised. They all went through harsh training and screening before they were selected. Over a thousand candidates but only 30 were picked. They all passed the trust and loyalty test with flying colors. He couldn't wrap his head around the situation. As Ruben De Vries, a principled man who adapts fast to situations, he called all of the guards at bay and addressed the situation. They were to find Brittany within 3 days or lose their jobs. They thundered a roar of pledge and acknowledged their tasks as they dispersed to different locations under the instructions of the team leader. Ruben returned home early to have dinner with Luuk after which he went to bed after confirming with the family doctor that Tess was okay and had gone to sleep. In contrast to the warmth and fluff going on in Tess and Ruben's home, Brittany was going through hell. Devoid of sleep, food, water and subjected to darkness.
