Chapter 12Marissa couldn't sleep, she kept tossing on the bed while thinking of Colin ****No matter how much she thinks about it, something is definitely not right about him, to be honest, she also doesn't think Colin would steal her money but where would he get the money to lodge in an hotel and a presidential suite?He definitely has no money!She fed him for those three years they were together, bought clothes and shoes for himShe would take him to the salon to give him a new haircut every three months. She did everything for him."What is wrong? Why aren't you sleeping?" Martin, her new lover askedHe also couldn't sleep since Marissa kept tossing on the bed"You are awake?" Marissa sighed and sat up "I am sorry, did I wake you?""It's okay, something must be bothering you" Martin also sat up"It's about Colin, something is definitely not right about him" "What do you mean?" Martin yawned, maybe because he was feeling sleepy or maybe because
Chapter 13 "Then just take your phone and order some food or at least go to a nearby store and buy yourself foodstuffs, it's not like you can't cook" Eric was going to yell at him but cautioned himself. He is his 'Young master' after all "Oh right, what about the hotel?" Colin asked, now walking into the bathroom "The one you told me to buy?" "Yeah" "I was going to buy it but one of the owners kept begging me, I had no option but to leave it. Why do you want that hotel so much tho? Compared to all the hotels you own, it's way more cheeper" Eric asked curiously "I will get back to you later on that, how is Dad?" Colin opened a new container of shampoo and applied it on his hair The smell was so lovely that he couldn't help but smile "Your dad is alright, he keeps asking when you will be back home" Eric replied "I will be back soon, don't worry about that" Colin said, messaging the shampoo on his head "Young master" "Hmmm?" "Why aren't you asking about your mother?" As soo
Chapter 14"I am glad your hair came out good" she grinned "So what are you going to do from now on?" She asked, returning the hair products back to where she took it from ****"Good question, what should I do?" Colin smiled sheepishly but Jenny didn't understand that"Well if you have nothing to do here in Hackney, you might as well return home. You probably have a lot to do" Jenny leaned on the wall with her arms folded"Will you stop talking about home? It's not like I am not going to return" Colin rolled his eyes"When are you planning to return? It seems you have forgotten that you are the heir of.....""I know that!" Colin interrupted "I know that and I'm gonna return home, I just have some things to do here. Will you stop nagging already" Colin groaned and walked back downstairs while Jenny followed him"You are really something else" Jenny shook her head.She reached in her bag and brought a car key"I brought you a car. You can drive, rig
Chapter 15 But it seems the slow witted person is Martin How in the world did he not notice that Marissa is still putting on Colin's engagement ring. Or is he only pretending not to know? He is the type to mind his business but always joined in Maltreating and insulting Colin for $100. "I bought a new house so Marissa and I will be moving out today" Martin dropped the news "Ugh?" Marissa raised her brow.It was news to her also. He never discussed moving out with her "That's a good thing" Catherine giggled "he is so much better than lowlife" she added and stood up "I am leaving for work. See you guys later" Once she was out, Marissa stopped eating and turned to martin in disbelief "What?" Martin asked like he did not know the reason why she has that look on her face "Why didn't you tell me?" "I don't know, I wanted it to be surprise?" Martin shrugged "You have to be kidding me. Surprise or not, this is not appropriate" Marissa blurted out "What is not appropriate about
Chapter 16"Nothing much, I was just checking it out" he replied, hoping the answers will be enough for her to stop asking questions."You were just checking it out?" Jenny asked, she was full of suspicion"You are not thinking of buying that club, are you?""Fine" Colin sighed "I was thinking of purchasing it, But first there is something I must do before doing so""Don't even think of getting yourself involved in anything that has to do with that club, it is a club for criminals. You know what I mean, right?""Of course I do. They don't just do clubbing, they also sell hard drugs" "Not only that. They sell innocent girls into prostitution, and they rape any female bartender who misbehaves until she dies" Jenny added."That's horrible" Colin gasped "if you know all these, then why haven't you gotten the police to arrest them?""Lack of evidence. After doing dirty works, they always get rid of all evidences. And you know police can't arrest without evidences" Jenny explained."That's
Chapter 17"No. I only met him once" Colin replied, curious to know why Jenny was suddenly asking him that question"Then does he know Marissa?" Jenny asked, checking some weird pictures on her laptop"Mrs Williams is quite close with him but I don't think he has any special relationship with Marissa" Colin said, at the same time trying to recall if Marissa ever mentioned meeting Jackson dream to him."Why do you ask?""Nothing much. I was sent a picture of he and Marissa, in the picture, it looks like they were having a serious conversation" Jenny answered"They must have a lot to talk about" Colin yawned "I am going out for a smoke, see you later""What? I thought you quite smoking!""Smokers don't quite Jenny, they only take a break" He corrected"Hey! Don't you even dare light a cigarette! I am going to ki......."Colin hanged up before she would complete that statement.He had the habit of smoking whenever he was bored or had a lot of things in his mind but he stopped after meeti
Chapter 18"Nice to meet you Jackson Dream, I never knew we would meet again" Colin grinned"Why are you still in Hackney? And what are you doing here?" Jackson was still in shock.If he had been sent out of the Williams family and if all his chances of getting a job in any place here in Hackney has been blocked then he should have left for another City.But here he wasAnd now causing trouble in a place he should not even be."How did you get in here?" Jackson kept interrogating him.He just couldn't understand how he entered the Club.The securities know the faces of who they should allow in"Your securities were not going to allow me enter so I came in through the backdoor" Colin explained, chuckling."That's a lie sir, I locked the back door and I am so sure of it" the security in charge said immediately"Well you didn't lock it well. I only knocked it down with a kick" Colin shrugged"You broke my club's door?" Jackson scoffed in disbelief"It can still be repaired. Anyways, now
Chapter 19 Martin and Marissa drove back home in silence Marissa was glad nothing happened to Colin but she still could not figure out how Martin found out she was there. She glanced at him, trying not to convince herself he has also been spying on her just like she is spying on Colin. Somehow, his silence bothered her. It seems he is angry since he has not utter a word for the past 15minutes. Martin on the other hand was indeed angry. He was at home with her and then he went to the bathroom for some minutes only for him to see she was gone. He hurried out of the house and luckily saw her taking a cab then he took his car and followed her. Only for him to find out she was going after Colin again. He is trying all his possible best to make her forget him but it seems all his efforts kept going in vain. They have been in the car for 15minutes now and she wouldn't even say anything to him. Not even a single apology. Minutes later, they finally got back home He parked the ca
136 At the station, both Axel and Martin were locked up in a cell while Shawn, Eric and Jenny sat with the detective, giving evidences of all what they've done."I think there is one more person that needs to be arrested" Eric said"Who?" Shawn asked"Jackson Dream. I think he works with them too" Eric replied "About that..." The detective meddled "Our boys are on our way to get him""Really?" Shawn blinked in surprise "does he really work for them?""Yeah. You remember the doctor who died in our cell, right?""Yeah" Shawn nodded "Turns out he was actually the one who came in and strangled her""Ugh? How is that possible, what in the world were your boys doing?" Eric scoffed in disbelief"He paid the lieutenant in charge a handsome amount and also paid the security in charge of the CCTV so the footage was deleted" the detective explained, looking kind of disappointed that his fellow officers joined hands with a criminal to kill a human who they should protecting"That's just so bad
135"Where in the world are we going?" Shawn asked as he was not aware of where Eric has been driving him to for the past 30 minutes."Somewhere important" Eric replied, paying good attention to all the houses around"Can you at least tell me the important place? I don't think it's okay for me to just appear somewhere without being prepared" Shawn got even more curious "Don't tell me you are taking me to Axel, are you working for him too?" He gasped"That's offensive" Eric clicked his tongue "Fine. I am trying to look for someone who knows Axel well""Someone who knows Axel? I don't think someone like that exist, he is so sly and pretentious so much that he deserves an Oscar. Why are we wasting our time searching for someone when we should....." Before Shawn would complete his sentence, Eric stopped the car in front of a bungalow"We are here" he mouthed as he made signal for Shawn to alight."What is this place?" Shawn couldn't stop staring as he came out of the carThere was nothing
134"Babe, your stomach is getting big" Colin smiled while taking a look at Marissa's tummyOf course it was getting big, the pregnancy has been months now"I know right? I can't wait for pumpkin to come out" Marissa smiled back, slicing an apple for it to be easier for Colin to eatDue to the punch, his jaw hurts so it's hard for him to take a bite from the apple himself."You should really take a rest, I am okay""Says someone who can't drink a cup of water by himself""That is because my hands are in bandage""Because you broke them while fighting" Marissa nagged "Next time, don't even think of doing something like that, if you do I will kill you myself""You are being cold to someone who is hurt" Colin pouted "What should we name our pumpkin?""Why don't you think about recovering first" Marissa clicked her tongue "I am really fine" he emphasized "Should we name our pumpkin, Annabelle? Ella? Because she will be a pretty princess""How are you so sure it will be a girl?" Marissa s
133Marissa couldn't stop crying as she sat in the waiting room at the hospital with Shawn and Emerald who were trying all their best to console herColin's last words before the Ambulance finally arrived was stuck in her head, she felt like he was really saying his last words.What If he doesn't survive?What if he really pass away?It was hard to predict what would happen to him.But she was desperately hoping he would be okay so they can spend more time together.Ever since they got back together, they haven't been able to spend time together because they have been busy trying to catch a criminal who was right under their nose.That made her even more furious as more tears rolled down her cheek.She doesn't care anymoreShe would do all her best to catch Axel and make sure he pays for everything he has done."I am sure Colin will be okay, to be honest I am surprised he is still alive" Shawn said, leaning on the wall"How can you say that?" Emerald snapped "You are not helping""I a
132Colin laid on the floor, holding his groins in pain.He couldn't not throw a punch but on the other hand, Axel was not in any way lacking, he kept throwing punches without minding how much pain his opponent was.Colin's nose had been bleeding for the past 30 minutes when Axel had punched him so hard, breaking his nostrils.He was in so much pain but had no other option than to get up and keep fighting"Axel, please stop this" Marissa whimperedShe hated herself for not being able to do anything while the person she loves is suffering.She couldn't help but think this was all happening because of her, if only she wasn't kidnapped by her crazy cousin then she wouldn't have to watch Colin groaning in so much pain."Why are you telling me to stop?" Axel scoffed as he took a quick break to drink a gulp of water "At this rate, you are going to kill him" Marissa sniffed back her tears "Please.... I am begging you, just stop""You are so annoying" Axel dropped the bottle of water and wip
131Marissa kept struggling to untie herself from where she has been tied to in a place she has no idea of.On her way to the airport, a car just suddenly hit theirs but even though it wasn't fatal or ghastly, she had no idea how the young bodyguard Colin had ordered to escort her to the airport just stopped breathing.She was so scared, trembling, she opened the door of the car and made attempt to leave but was dragged and blindfolded by an unknown person.But there was no doubt the person behind this all was AxelHe really needs a serious beating.While struggling to untie herself, she heard footsteps approaching which made her stopJust how close was she with Axel?They were so close that she could recognize him just by hearing his footsteps "Do you mind removing this blindfold? I already know it's you" She said"Alright then" Axel scoffed and removed the blindfold just like she wanted "I am sorry they brought you here in this manner, I told them to bring you safely because of you
130While preparing to leave for Islighton, Marissa was almost all dressed upHer stomach was slowly starting to get big so she put on a comfortable dress, her hair was all done and she was done with her make upYeah, Axel is currently being a jerk but that won't still stop her from looking good for her dear.Her eyes moved to her shoe rack, trying to check out a heel which would be great with her dress but then she noticed some of her foot wears were missingAnd they were mostly heelsThere is only one person who is so obsessed with heels and that is Catherine.She sighed, trying to hold in her anger as she walked out of her roomOn her way to Catherine's room, Mrs Williams came out of her room which was just in between the two sisters room, all dressed for work."Marissa, I am sorry I won't be eating breakfast with you guys, I have......""It's fine" Marissa interrupted.This isn't Mrs Williams first time of skipping breakfast so why was she suddenly making up an excuse?After the i
129Shawn was so stressed out in his room, he kept dialing Jenny's number but one minute she wouldn't answer the call, the next minute her phone would be turned off.It's been a day now and she isn't back home.Her parents are not really bothered about her not being at home since she do that a lot of timeMany times she stay over at Colin's houseBut they were frustrated about her not being at home.It was quite a lot of work for them as no one could sleep the whole nightMr Rodman had gone to the nearest station to report a missing daughter even though Shawn persuaded them so many times not to do it."Do you know where the hell she is?"Is the question they kept asking him anytime he does that so he just had to let them be.He couldn't tell them she was captured by her own so called boyfriend because if he did, Shawn knew his father would be so eager to go there.Capturing Jenny is already a pain in the neck and now he wouldn't want his father to be captured to.He pick up his phone
128Marissa sat in her room with a puzzled lookShe knew Axel used to be her favourite cousin and all but now he is now in a position he can no longer be trusted.But her mother is not someone she can trust either.She didn't know who to believe exactlyWhy would Axel be her brother?And why would her mother lie about that?She hesitated a lot before giving it a thought to go to her mom's room.Without knocking, she barged in and met her mom working on her laptop"Why are you here? I am busy, I can't talk right now""But I have a lot to ask you" Marissa replied coldly."We can just talk about it later""I said I wanna talk!" Marissa blurted out and furiously turned off the laptop"What in the world do you think you are doing?! I was so damn busy!" Mrs Williams yelled back her "I said we can talk later!""I need to know the truth about Axel, who is that guy for real?""What do you mean who is that guy? He is your cousin obviously""Mom!""What?! What in the world do you want me to say?
