Adonis was bewildered, he moved a little bit closer to Gina. “What do you mean?” He asked. His expression showed how concerned he was. “Tony’s phone is tapped, I knew about the search before it began; and I moved her to another state not very far from here. She’s safe and well, and would receive everything she was supposed to receive at the beach house.” Gina stared at her lips in the mirror and matched the upper part and the lower part together to get the colour all over her lips. Adonis paced the room brushing his hair with his hand, he was actually tired of this, even though it was the perfect plan, it was affecting him greatly. The actual cause of Adonis' fear was not because he genuinely liked Laurel or anything of that sort. It was because Laurel was Tony’s fiancée, and judging by what he had seen, Winconstin seemed to be fond of her. If he were to find out that it was Adonis who abducted her in order to push his own agenda, then the heir competition is over because he would
Lilian quickly closed the door, taking a few steps backwards. She was too frightened, that was the most frightening moment she ever experienced for a long time. How the hell was Tony standing in front of her doorstep? He didn’t even know where she lived. Who the hell did this? Lilian couldn’t stop asking herself the questions, she actually thought it was Katerina. “Open the door Laurel, I just have a few questions to ask, I’m not hear for a reunion or anything.” Tony spoke from outside, he could see how frightened she was when she saw him. That could mean two things; either she was scared that he had discovered what she had done or she was terrified seeing him again at the house he didn’t know about. Tony was wearing a simple clothing, the same style he wore to Laurel’s family house just different colors. Although he knew Lilian wouldn’t have the time to think about his financial status when he starts confronting her. Lilian walked back to the door, she was wearing an armless gown
Tony turned around immediately, but it wasn’t who he was expecting. It was Katerina, carrying two bags of groceries as she approached the front door. He should have known, despite all the shouting and yelling, no one came out of the house. She wasn’t home. “What’s going on?” Katerina was muddled. “I was just about to leave,” Tony turned around and started walking towards Katerina. He had made a very big error but Lilian was going to find out one day anyway, this just wasn’t how he wished she found out. One good thing was that she still didn’t know the whole truth, she wasn’t aware that he was an original Marcellus. “Go on, drive your boss’s car back to the company, before she finds out. Whoever abducted Laurel, I hope the person doesn’t release her anymore.” Lilian called out when she saw the Mercedes that was parked in front of her house. It was the same one that he brought to that car wash that day. Tony walked past Katerina without looking at her or saying a word, it was bette
“Hello, Tony, it’s me, Laurel.” Laurel spoke from the other end of the phone, her voice sounded like she was scared. The liquor bottle fell off Tony’s hands, he couldn’t believe it, he never expected it. Normally, if an abduction happens and the abductors want a ransom, they’d have called him hours after abducting Laurel. Since it had been almost three days now, Tony had concluded that these abductors didn’t want his money. And that’s the reason why it was easier to suspect Lilian. Hearing Laurel’s voice now, brought tears to his eyes, and the liquor bottle that fell off his hand shattered on the floor, pieces of glass flying everywhere. “Laurel? Oh my God! Are you okay? Where are you? What happened?” Tony rushed her with questions, however the joy in his heart didn’t last a minute. “She’s fine, I just want you to know that your fiancée is safe, what you just did, getting the police to search the whole city would only make us hurt her. Here’s the deal; call off the search before
“That’s it, your idea has been carried out. Let’s see if they’d risk Laurel’s life.” Gina said, sitting at dinner with Adonis. It was his plan all along. He wanted the police to think the abductors were still within the city, that way they wouldn’t be thinking if they had escaped even before the search began. But that wasn’t the only reason he did it. He did it to also give Tony peace of mind that Laurel wasn’t dead and that she was safe, but still he had put him in a pinch. All he wanted was to become the heir, he didn’t wish to harm anybody or allow anyone suffer. If he becomes the heir, he wouldn't have any problem with Tony but if he doesn’t, there’d be a whole lot of issues; maybe it was then he’d awaken his real self. “Don’t talk as if you’re enjoying this, it’s not a game. As we speak, Tony is fighting with uncertainties.” Adonis told his mother, slicing the steak on his plate. “I’m sure you would come to realise that the people you seem to have pity for would have done th
Katerina was sitting at the dining table knitting baby clothes when she heard Lilian loud screams, it frightened the hell out of her, immediately making her heart start beating faster than usual. Katerina dropped the wool and knitting tool on the dining table and hurried to Lilian’s room. When she got there, Lilian was trying to sit upright on the bed while giving out sounds of pain. When Katerina saw her, she knew exactly what had happened and that was why she was here. But there was a problem, one she never thought of until this moment. Lilian never thought of it either or maybe it skipped her mind, Katerina couldn’t drive! “Calm down, Lily, breathe.” Katerina said, helping her down from the bed. Katerina flung Lilian’s right arm around her neck and held her by the waist as they walked slowly towards the door.They’d have to find a taxi, but it’d be harder at night. Katerina wished she had thought of that earlier. “We’d have to find a taxi, Lily. I can’t drive.” Katerina reveale
Gina walked slowly into the room, she had come all the way from the city just to see Laurel. Since her abduction, she hadn’t seen her physically, just through videos and pictures. Gina Marcellus wasn’t a very popular woman despite being the wife of the most popular and wealthiest man in the city, this was because everybody seemed to centre their attention on Winconstin, even now that he was retired and hardly comes out, he was still very relevant. However, because she wasn’t very popular, it didn't mean Gina could take chances, she had disguised like a normal person. She wasn’t wearing any expensive dress or jewellry and she didn’t even wear makeup which was what the media would recognize. She wore a skinny black Jean and boots, with a black jacket also, inside the jacket was nothing more than a tank top. It was the perfect disguise for someone who wasn’t really popular, she was also putting on a face cap that was turned backwards like she was a gangster. Laurel moved to the edge o
The phone didn’t ring for five seconds before Tony picked up the call, and Katerina was surprised. Was he expecting a call? She thought. “Hello Katerina, not now please, I’m in the middle of a big problem.” Tony sounded disappointed from the other end. “Lilian just put to bed, that’s why I’m calling, it’s a girl.” Katerina reported the news afraid that Tony might hang up, she wanted to ask him what was really going on. “Oh! I’m really happy, Katerina, I guess our deal still stands?” Tony’s voice went from disappointed to surprised.“Yes, it does, but I wanted to ask you, why Laurel?” Katerina questioned, that was the main reason he called him. She could have broken the news to him any time, not immediately after Lilian gave birth. “I can’t answer that now, Katerina. We would talk about this when this issue on ground is over. Take care.” Tony replied and hung up the phone. Katerina sighed, glanced around the open space of the hospital before walking back into the building. She w
