Revenge of the Abandoned Billionaire Chapter 24
TWICE BITTEN "You do!" The DPO's eyes widened with hope as he pulled out a plain sheet from a folder on his desk. Lord Dezani seemed to have grown older. His face turned pale and white and the lines on his forehead crinkled as he painfully recalled the brutal attack that happened similarly. "I suspect them to be the same group that raided my home seventeen years ago; killing my only son, Lorenzo, his wife, Margaret, and my little granddaughter." The officer jotted down what the old man just told him. "Standing over there was the only survivor; my grandson." Caleb had shifted away to stand by the window. The early morning weather was cloudy and cold. It looked like rain might fall. The DPO remembered that case like it was yesterday. He was a young recruit at the time and was enthusiastically following up on the murder, hoping they would prosecute those behind the wicked act. But suddenly the case came to a dead end. It was reported that the inspector of police in charge of in

HUNTED That was fast. Caleb didn't see it coming. "That's not what I meant." "Then what?" "Mr Benson was whisked out of the police net earlier this morning. He is on the loose. You might not be safe. That's why I came to warn you." "Oh my God!" she shrieked and started to panic. Liliana had never been that terrified all her life. Not even while she was dating Pedro did she have a reason to fear for her life. "Hey, calm yourself. He has gone into hiding. The police have made an official report on our behalf and by morning, every news outlet will be carrying his photographs with the caption: Wanted by the law. An escaped felon." That seemed to work. Liliana sat back down but her legs and hands were still shaking. Caleb had expected this kind of reaction which is why he decided to go to her house to break the news. She was still recuperating from her illness. "How did he manage to escape?" "That's what we're yet to find out." She started shedding tears. "I'm so sorry, it's al

THE COAST IS CLEAR Caleb left in the rain, against Liliana's pleas. He had done his part by offering her options to choose from. The final decision was hers to make.He rode home not minding how drenched he would be or the cold. By the time he got to the house, his grandfather had already retired. But not his mother. "Where did you go, son?" Caleb was surprised to see Leah sitting at the foot of the stairs leading up to his chambers.She was given a separate wing on her request, hence, they no longer shared the same apartment. But she always made sure to catch up on his day-to-day activities, especially at night before going to bed. When Caleb skipped dinner, she became worried. She had noticed that he and the grandfather left the house very early in the morning and ever since they got back in the afternoon, he had kept to himself and remained indoors. She waited for a perfect time to have a chat with him about what was going on. Hopefully after dinner. To her amazement, when she

TESTING THE WATERS Caleb sighed. He didn't want things to escalate out of proportion especially since Liliana now knows he's the CEO. "No, I'm afraid you can't." "But why not? If Mr Benson has been arrested, what harm can he do to me?" "We had an agreement, and none of the two options given to you included your continuance at the headquarters, Miss Jonas. I'm trying to save your life, don't make things any more complicated." He spoke calmly but with an air of authority. "You are trying to get rid of me. Just say so." He didn't respond to her accusation. "I will be out of town for a couple of days - maybe weeks, depending on how things turn out in Brazil. And just so you know, a lot of the staff in the headquarters are either going to be sacked or transferred.""Why?" Liliana cuts in, her voice shaking. "Because when investigations into my parents' death and little sister begin, so many people would be found culpable. Anyone who directly or indirectly had any dealings with Mr

THE STALKER They landed and boarded a cab that will take them to a hotel. They chose one situated in a secluded but nice area uptown for security reasons. Lord Dezani asked Caleb to pay for two separate rooms but he objected saying they should book a suite instead. He knew his grandfather wanted to give him some privacy but he didn't want to stay far away from him. A text message came into his phone. "They know you're in town. Tread carefully," the content read. The old man looked at the number on his screen, it was an unknown ID. Caleb was unpacking their briefcases when he saw the strange look on his grandfather's face. "Seen a ghost, Grandpa?" he joked. When Mateo didn't smile he instantly knew it had to be something serious. He dropped the shirt he was holding and moved to sit by his side. "What's the matter?" Lord Dezani handed the phone to him. "Read the message." Caleb stared long and hard at the phone not saying a word. "Who else knows of our mission to Brazil?" his

WHO HIRED YOU? So Liliana drove past the hospital. She had changed her mind and was heading straight to the police headquarters. Hopefully, she might cover a safe distance between her pursuer and herself before getting to the traffic light at the T-junction where she'd be forced to slow down.Her brain was scattering sparks. She remembered that one of the precautions she learned during her safety driving lessons was to always use a hazard light whenever she was in distress. So she immediately turned on her double trafficator and accelerated at a breakneck speed. The driver of the red car copied her. Her hands on the steering tightened. Fear nearly made her lose control. As she approached the T-junction and started to slow down, she observed a black Jeep parked by the side of the road. But as she got nearer, the car started to steam like the driver just turned the ignition upon sighting her car. Instinctively, she sensed it must be a trap to sandwich her in between them. Liliana sw

THE TORTURE "I'm not afraid of you," Mr Benson said bravely. "You couldn't handle me when you were a much younger man, is it now that age has shrunken your balls?"Mr Santiago didn't flinch at his insult. He had handled hardened criminals; sterner and tougher than him, and they usually cracked in the end."Ah, I can see you remember me too well." He made some guttural noises with his throat. "How would you enjoy being humiliated in front of this young lad?" Mr Benson turned to glare at Caleb. Then let out a peal of cynical laughter. "He sure looks like he could do with a bit of entertaining - something that has obviously been lacking all his miserable life."No one saw Caleb's angry outburst coming. He surged forward and landed Mr Benson a resounding slap across his puffy face. He saw the surprised look in his eyes as his cheek reddened. He then followed it with a blow that sounded like iron hitting a wall on his fat nose. "Plop!"Blood spluttered from his nose. Mr Santiago looked

MUMBAI"There might be no need for you both to continue to stay in Brazil." It was Mr Santiago speaking. "My men can handle any and every investigation you need to be done."The DPO nodded his head looking at Lord Dezani for his opinion. He must have also thought the same thing. Mateo turned to look at Caleb who was leaning against the cold stone wall in the corridor."I think I agree with them. They are professionals and know better. Besides, there's the company to get back to. And I also have other things to do."His grandfather patted him on the back. "You're always thinking like a Dezani. Your Papa would be proud of you." The brief silence that followed his comment let the other two men whisper within themselves. It was a discussion about who will be in charge of the prisoner's welfare. "Mr Benson can't survive for long without food and water," the DPO pointed out."I will have my boys take care of his stomach - so long as he's cooperative." That last part needed to be emphasi
