“Is he awake?”“Yes boss.” The guard didn't hesitate to open the small cell gate for his boss and sister.As usual, Don's hands were clasped together behind his back while his sister walked by his side till they halted a few meters away from the hostage.The man's face was lowered to the ground, but when he noticed their presences, he lifted his gaze to them weakly.From his face down to his waist was all bloody and his legs were covered in a grubby looking pants. He looked like he would drop dead any moment from then, and the chains restraining him from the wall wasn't helping at all.“I will just go straight to the point. Why did you try to kill me?” Don asked calmly, but that was the opposite of what he felt inside.He was infuriated and badly wanted to get his hands on him. The only thing stopping him was the promise he made to his sister not to punish him today.He was probably half dead and might die if dealt with today, especially by Don.“Haven't you done enough? You should a
The maid sauntered into the balcony with a tray containing two glasses of strawberry mocktail, as she served the two ladies with a bow.“Thank you.” Bella and Lillian uttered simultaneously before taking a long sip, Bella exhaling sharply after that.“Goodness, that was refreshing.”The maid bowed deeper one last time and walked away.“Everything that happened earlier was because you all now know the culprit?” Lillian repeated the same thing Bella had told her before the maid came to serve them.Her brows were raised with questions written over her face.“Who is this culprit, if I may ask?” She asked yet another question.“Umm, it's not someone you might really know, but you don't have to worry, my brother is on it.” Lillian heaved out a sigh, still not looking satisfied at Bella's words. Seeing Don earlier, it seemed like hell would let loose with his anger and action.She's known him for some time now and knew fully well the result of his anger. He could do the undone!'What was go
“The lady who was brought in here a while ago, do you know where her cell is?” Lillian anticipated the obvious answer as she raised a brow.This was the cell guard, after all, so he would definitely know.She glanced behind her, hoping Don wouldn't barge in there at that moment. She wasn't ready for his questioning, of which she knew would come later on. “I'm sorry, ma'am, but we were strictly ordered not to let anyone in at the moment.” His face looked stern as he uttered this without any remorse.“Oh.” Lillian nodded slowly and feigned a smile before turning to go.No doubt, something was going on inside. Or was Don inside as well?She didn't leave the area completely as she hid behind a wall, hoping for the guard to desert the place soon. She had a few questions for Clarissa, and she also heard that the hitman who shot at Rex was there, so she wanted to know why Risa did what she did.A few minutes passed, and the guard didn't leave his post, this made Lillian lose hope. She would
Lillian walked as though counting her footsteps with her head lowered to the ground. She felt uneasy about her movement right now, but couldn't help it. It was as if her dress offended her with the way she fought with it, squeezing the sides tight.Don had sent a guard to call her into his room and somehow, she felt it was about what he saw earlier. What if it was truly about Drake, what would she say then?All what she had been trying to avoid in the beginning was coming back to hunt her with so much force.Since her blissful night with Don in his other house, she never imagined visiting him in this manner, looking so restless and filled with thoughts that made her heart skip.Glancing up at the two men who stood gallantly at the door in front of her, she gulped down nothing and exhaled sharply but softly.They didn't hesitate to pave the way by opening the door for her. She let out a slow sigh before walking fully into the room.The door locked behind her, and immediately a pair of
FLASHBACK*“Mummy, mummy, please, I need your help.” A small boy ran into his mother's room, breathing heavily when he got to her.“Donald?” The beautiful woman who was in her late twenties felt a little surprised to see her son in this way.“Mummy, you have to hide me quick before they get here.” The boy pleaded and this time, the woman didn't hesitate as she dumped the clothes she was folding into the closet and rushed to hide him in the same closet.It was wide enough, so she was sure he wouldn't lack fresh air in any way. She resumed back to what she was doing and shortly, she heard a knock on the door.She exhaled sharply and walked to open the door, it was some muscular men; the guards to be precise.“Mrs Dean, have you seen Donald around?” One of them asked, peeking in the room from the little space the woman had left them with.“What do you mean? I thought he was training with you.” She inquired with a feigned puzzled look on her face.“Yes. Until he ran away.” The guard lower
Silence embedded all over the place, as just the clicking of forks against the plates could be heard in the dinning room. Gulping noises rolled in, followed by an even louder clicked sound from a plate.It was Eva, she had just carelessly dumped her fork on her plate, but she didn't seem to be bothered by what she had done to ruin the peaceful atmosphere.“Father, who the hell is this man? And what the fuck has he been doing here for the past few days?” She couldn't take it any longer, so she didn't waste even a second to expressing her discontent, having been that her head was unable to wrap on the young man's identity.Her curiosity was already at its peak and no matter how she tried, she couldn't figure who he was exactly.Some days back, she snuck up on them to listen to their conversation but turns out they could be more secretive than she thought. She barely heard whatever discussion they had, more like they knew of her intention beforehand.Pablo Escobar, who had the same aston
“Sir Antonio is dead?” Rex repeated the same words Bella had uttered a few seconds ago.“When did this happen? I mean, what killed him?” He felt so lost as a look of terror washed up his face, summed up with the sadness lacing behind his voice.It wasn't as if he didn't hear what she had told him earlier, but the news was just too shocking for anyone in his place. Bella only sighed and lowered her head, having an answer to his questions but just a little courage to reply to him.She was afraid she might break down in his presence, then who would console who? He already looked so sad himself, so she didn't want to add to his sorrows. But, could she help it?Sir Antonio was like the father she and her brother never had, and she had never imagined to also lose him to the painful hands of death this soonest.“Diana and his doctor said he was in stage four of lung cancer.” Bella had a bitter smile on her face, and she didn't realize it when a drop of tear rolled down her left chin. Then a
“Welcome back home, Rex.” Rex made a quick halt at the entrance with an alerting look. His eyes rolled up to the massive banner which also had, 'Welcome back home' in bold printing. It was hung in between two pillars in the living room.Quietly, he took his gaze back to the people standing in front of him with huge smiles on their faces. They were his boss's wife, the maidservants, and a few fellow guards, which Draco and Drake weren't among.“We're glad to have you back.” Lillian stepped out of the midst of others to suppress his already surprising expression.Rex turned to glance at Bella beside him, but she just shrugged off, indicating she also wasn't aware, and it was definitely the truth.Lillian didn't inform anyone about this until today, it was just an idea she came up with earlier today, and she decided to just go about it on her own with the intention of also surprising Bella.She chuckled, seeing the duo in front of her not attempting to move at all, “Come on now guys, I
