***Meanwhile, Gwen was sitting down behind the desk in her office. She was lost in her thoughts; she had been busy with work before, but Nathan crossed her mind. She wondered why she hadn’t heard from him since she told him that he was free to come back into the city, and she wondered why Nathad hadn't reached out to her either.‘What could be going on exactly? Is it that Nathan haven’t come back into the city? Or what could be taking him so long?’ She thought. She felt she needed to call him as she took out her phone.She dialed the burner number that she had been using to connect with Nathan. The number didn’t go through. “The number you are trying to call is not available at the moment.” An automated robotic voice spoke on the other end of the call.She tried calling the number a couple of times after, but it still had the same outcome. She kept her phone as she sighed heavily. ‘What could be going on? Why is Nathan’s phone not going through?’ Multiple thoughts started going throu
Nathan knew that Andrei had already done his best and that it was up to him to find a way to escape on his own. “Alright then, I will come up with something, but when will the car be outside the resort?” Nathan wanted to get a good idea of when he would be able to escape.“The car will be parked outside the resort at 6 p.m., so find a way to escape by then.”“Okay, I will.” After that, Nathan ended the call. He turned off the shower as he went into the room and sat on the edge of the bed next to Georgina.“I thought you went to the shower; why are you not wet?” Georgina asked curiously.‘Oh fuck, why didn’t I think of getting a shower? I will have to find a way to lie to her.“No, I was using the toilet; I didn’t want you to hear how loud I was on the toilet; that’s why I turned on the shower and allowed it to run.” Nathan explained. He thought fast on his feet.“Okay, if you say so,”Nathan laid down on the bed slowly as he ran his hand through his head. His brain was scrambling as h
***Nathan woke up to the sound of a machine beeping. As he got up, he quickly wondered what the time was as he looked at the wristwatch on his hand and saw that it was about 5:20 p.m. He knew that time was not on his side and that he needed to move as fast as possible.Nathan turned to look at Georgina; she was sleeping soundly. Nathan had an idea that he needed to find a way to manipulate Georgina to control the guards and then escape. She tapped on her shoulder slowly. “Wake up, darling!” Hearing that, Georgina got up as she looked at him.“What is it? I thought you didn’t want to talk to me.” She has been noticing that Nathan wasn’t giving her attention and was probably disappointed in getting married to her. Georgina knew that no young man would be attracted to her with the way she looked.“No, it’s not like I didn’t want to talk to you; I was just pissed at the whole ceremony. You know I had a wife before I got married to you, right?”Georgina’s eyes opened wide. She had no idea
The guard then explained how Georgina told them not to follow them because they wanted to look at the resort. “Y’all are idiots!” Andrew cursed out.“Make sure y’all capture Nathan and send me your live location!” Andrew ended the call after that.Meanwhile, Nathan was in the backseat of the car, looking at the car chasing behind them. He was glad that he was able to escape within the nick of time. But it wasn’t over yet; they still needed to get rid of the car behind them. “We need to lose them!” Nathan turned to look at the driver.“Go faster! Can’t you find a way to lose them faster? Take a corner or something.”“I am doing my best, sir; you don’t have to worry; we are going to lose them.” Hearing that put Nathan at ease for a moment as he leaned back into the car seat. He was happy at the thought that he was going to be out of Romania anytime soon. The small cellphone in his pocket started ringing as he took it out and answered the call. It was Andrei.“I just saw the GPS on the c
The police handcuffed them but did not say anything, which was odd to Nathan. “Why are we being arrested?” Nathan asked curiously.“You are under arrest for breaking the state speed limit, plus being in a high-speed chase.” One of the officers answered.“So, where are you taking us, officer? Can’t you just give me a speeding ticket?” The driver asked politely. The police could just give him a ticket and everything would be fine.“No, that’s not how this works; you two are going to come down to the percent with us.” One of the officers responded.The officers took them into one of their vans as they kept them in the backseat. ‘How am I going to make it to the airport in time? I can’t believe something like this is happening now!’ Nathan was furious at the whole situation; he felt that since they lost the guards behind them, it would be easy to escape, but now getting caught by the police was something he would have never expected.Meanwhile, in one of the police cars that was behind th
***All the police vans parked in front of Andrew’s mansion. Nathan had no idea what was going on at this point because his head was down. He started hearing the door opening as he rose up and looked around the window. Nathan quickly recognized that they were in front of Andrew’s mansion.His heart started ponding fast as multiple thoughts started going through his mind. ‘What are we doing in Andrew’s house? Did the police bring us here to him? Are they working for Andrew?’ Nathan had no idea what was going on.One of the officers dragged him by his arm. “Come with me!”“Why did you bring us here? What is going on?” Nathan asked in a rumbling tone. “This is not the precent.”“Keep quiet!” The officer yelled as he took Nathan and the driver into the mansion. As they got inside. The four officers greeted Andrew with a bow, one of the officers that was holding Nathan turned to look at Nathan.“Sir, this is the man, right?”Andrew smirked an evil smirk. “Yes, you can leave him here and go
It was now Andrew, Nathan, and the driver in the living room. Andrew flicked his finger at one of his men. The guy came out from behind the couch that Andrew was standing in front of. He walked closer to the driver as he stared at him dead in the eyes. He pulled out a gun that had a silencer on it from the back of his pocket as he pointed the gun at the driver’s forehead. Without uttering a word, he shot the driver in the head as the driver dropped down on the floor dead.Nathan’s heart immediately started beating fast; he had no idea that they were going to kill the driver, and, in a way, he was responsible for the driver because the driver had no idea what he walked into. Andrew flicked his fingers, and two of the men behind him rushed over to where the driver’s dead body was as they dragged it out of the living room.“Set him down on the couch.” Andrew said it in a rumbling tone as his voice echoed throughout the room. Nathan could see the anger in his eyes, and he was scared for t
Nathan knew that he was at Andrew’s mercy, but he wasn’t having the way Andrew kept talking. He felt if Andrew wanted to do something to him, he should have done it by now instead of talking too much.“Look, I wasn’t trying to act smart; I was just trying to head home to my family. If you feel I did the wrong thing, then go ahead and do anything you want to do to me.” Nathan looked at Andrew boldly. Even though he feared what Andrew was going to do.Andrew’s nostrils flared up as he got up from the couch and waved his hands at his men. “Three minutes; rough him up a bit.” Andrew ambled over to the couch that was in front of Nathan as he sat down. Andrew’s men started beating Nathan up from different angles, with Nathan’s hand in handcuffs behind his back. Nathan screamed in a lot of pain as he got multiple bruises all over his body.Several minutes later, Andrew’s men stopped beating him up. Andrew ambled over to the couch as he sat next to Nathan, who was breathing heavily and was in
