Declan walked into the room where he had left Mandy with Jordan. Mandy turned to look at him and he gave her a small nod. “And where did this lackey of yours go?” Jordan asked, eyeing Declan carefully.“This mansion is so huge that it is almost impossible to find a bathroom.” Declan replied with a small smile on his face. “Well, Mr. Smith, I believe we have both said everything we have to speak about,” Mandy said, rising from her chair. “And thank you for the breakfast, if I wasn’t sure, I would have said you were having a celebration over something” she added smiling sweetly.“No, I just felt like I needed to put on a few pounds today,” Jordan replied, standing after her. Mandy turned to Declan and back to Jordan.“Alright then, we will be taking our leave” she said and turned walking away with Declan in tow. Jordan watched the disappearing figures and raised his hands to his head while breathing as if he had held his breath for the past thirty minutes. He raised his phone and cal
Declan drives straight for Jason’s house while occasionally glancing at the text he had received from May. Where was she? And what prompted her to type a text like this?~“Oh, don’t get teary with me, I haven’t even started yet.” Nathan said, wiping the tears off May’s face. She closed her eyes and threw her face away from his touch. Her ears rang as Nathan palm landed on her cheeks. “Don’t you dare move or you are dead.” He snickered, turning her face roughly towards him. May whimpered, her face stinging with pain. “Oh, you are so cute right now. You know you have escaped my clutches before, but I think it would be a waste to let a body as beautiful as this go to waste, don’t you think so?”“I asked you a question?” Nathan yelled with another slap on her second cheek. Tears trailed down her cheek as she whispered for help. Nathan saw her moving lips and a smile crept onto his face as he lowered his ear to her lips.“D— Declan.” She whimpered softly.“Still putting faith in that use
Declan picked up his buzzing phone and looked at the dialer. A quick sigh and he placed the phone on speaker.“I got your text, what’s wrong?” Mandy’s voice filled the car. “Any luck on your hunt?”“I got a lead and I am going to Will's mansion. I need you to mobilize men to help me find any traces of Nathan.” He replied back.“Aren’t you going to his house?”“No one in his right mind will go home after kidnapping someone, not even Nathan is that stupid.”“Then, why bother yourself? You can just go find him instead of going to an empty mansion.” Mandy said with a sigh.“Someone as stubborn as Nathan would need leverage to hand over May to me, and the mansion wouldn’t be completely empty.”“Declan, you wouldn’t…”“Even if Nathan is proud, I am sure that he would give anything, even May for his father’s life.”“I am not against your plans, but isn’t that too cruel? Even for you?” Mandy's voice dropped.“They crossed that line when he kidnapped my wife. Besides, I am sure you wouldn’t wan
“Hello, who is this?”“Mr. Nathan, we have a problem.” The secretary said.“I asked who this is. And what problem will warrant you to call me?” Nathan yelled through the phone.“It’s Judith, your father’s secretary. Your father has been taken hostage.”*silence*“What are you talking about? Where are you?” “I am at your house. We were about to leave for a board meeting and…”“Remain where you are. I am on my way.” Nathan growled and ended the call.~Nathan dropped the phone in his hand and looked at May. Who the hell would be able to get his father? And why? He looked towards two of his men and signaled them forward.“Watch over her. I will be out for a few minutes. And mark my words; no mistake must happen, do you understand?”“Yes Boss.” They replied. Nathan grabbed his keys and walked out of the warehouse towards his car. He climbed in and drove off to his home.~The secretary sat down on the floor while the bodyguard began to come around one after another. A car drove into the
Declan looked around him and smiled. He was surrounded by dozens of men cutting him off from the car in which Andrew face palmed himself at his stupid son.“Well, I will not say that this was unexpected.” Declan said without a change of expression. “If only you can see your father now, you would be surprised as to how disappointed he will be in you.”“Can I take those as your last words to your beloved wife?” Nathan Snickered. “Don’t worry, I would love to tell her the words myself, if you don't mind.” Declan said and lunged at the man closest to him. Nathan ordered the men to keep Declan busy while he made his way to his father. He opened the car to see his father sipping a bottle of juice while watching Declan beating up Nathan’s men.“Dad, you are alright.” He said breathing relief. Andrew turned to his son cursing inwardly but didn’t say a word. “Dad, answer me, are you alright? Did that fool cut off your tongue?” Andrew stretched and punched his son out of the car. He climbed
“Are you going to talk or should I go on?”“You are a monster.” Nathan yelled wincing as he heard the sizzling of his dad’s flesh. “Should you be trying to tell me where May is instead of yelling insults at me? I hate to think how much this old man of yours can withstand.” Declan said.“If I get out of here, I will make sure that you go through more than what you have done to my father” ‘You don’t seem to get the point. Your threats are based on the fact that you tell me what I need to know. Otherwise, I will keep you here for weeks until you die, and I am sure that you must have told your men over there to take care of her till you return. So which is it?” Declan said, picking up the knife again.“Stay away from him, you monster.” Nathan yelled, thrashing around on the seat where he was tied. Declan shook his head and drove the blade into Andrew again with his gaze fixed on Nathan. “You keep this up and he will die” Declan said nonchalantly. “Will you tell me where my wife is or n
Declan drove into the hospital and stopped right in front of the door. He grabbed May and ran into the hospital. Nurses around saw him and immediately rushed towards him with a mobile bed. “Sir, what happened?” one of the nurses asked him as he walked beside the bed.“It would do you better to attend to her first before asking questions” Declan snapped, stopping just outside the emergency ward. He pulled out his phone and dialed Mandy.“What’s wrong?” Mandy asked immediately when she answered. “I found her. I swear I will make Nathan pay for what he did to her.” Declan said, gritting his teeth. “Why didn’t you kill him immediately he told you what you needed to know?”“I was in a hurry. One minute late and I don’t know what would have happened to her. Besides, he was tied up. It’s not like anyone would have found him and released him.” Declan said, sitting down outside the ward.“Text me the hospital where you are at and I will see to it that she is alright” Mandy said and ended
Nathan opened his eyes in a familiar room. He glanced around him looking into the darkest part of the room as if expecting Declan to walk out of the spot. He tried to move but was stuck. A rope tied him to a seat in the center of a dark room.“Declan! Where are you? What am I doing here?” he yelled into the darkness.“You know, you have a poor sense of direction.” Declan said, walking out from behind him. “Then again, you have always been dumb.” “Where are we? Why didn’t you kill me?” Nathan hissed.“Don’t try to be bitter, I will kill you but when I feel like it. And don’t tell me you don’t recognize your own warehouse.”“What?!”“Well, I guess the change in point of view does play a major role. Couple of hours back, you had my wife tied to this chair and now you are in it, but unlike her, you will have to answer some questions for me.” Declan said, walking up to him. “I have nothing to tell you. Let me go.” Nathan said. “But you see, you have a lot to tell me. I find it hard t
