Rise Of Rejected Husband Chapter 212
The man was taken by Smith to a place in the basement, where Smith tied his hands and feet, seating him on a wooden chair. "Such a hassle, dealing with someone like him is always annoying."The room was dark, with no windows. It seemed unused, covered in dust, with scattered items left behind for a long time.In front of Smith stood three men, his aides. Smith dragged a chair and placed it before the man, not too far from him. He sat down, resting his legs, observing the man wearing a beret. “Throw some water on him, wake him up,” he ordered one of the aides.Immediately, a large man followed the command, grabbing a bucket of water and harshly splashing it onto the beret-wearing man's face, causing him to wake up in shock.The man’s eyes flew open, his body jerking as he tried to get up, but the ropes binding him to the wooden chair restrained him. “Ah… what is this? What’s going on? What are you doing to me?” He blinked rapidly, struggling to keep his eyes open as the water stung the

“This kind of problem is easily solved.” Richard smirked slightly, slipping one hand into his pocket. “There are plenty of people who can replace you.”The man named Hary furrowed his brows deeply, trying to process Richard’s words. Now, he finally understood that Richard was suggesting someone would take his place, making his lips stiffen instantly.Hary’s posture hunched forward as if trying to shield himself from the intimidating gaze Richard directed at him.He hadn’t expected Richard to think this way. His face turned pale, and he realized that Richard could do anything. This made him swallow hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing nervously.“No, that won’t work.” Smith shook his head, rubbing his chin with his thumb. “The people around him will definitely notice.”Smith believed that this plan wouldn’t be effective. After all, Hary had a wide network as a journalist who had covered numerous stories and interacted with many other reporters. His colleagues would certainly notice if someth

"Where is he?" Smith widened his eyes as he entered the small, cramped room where Hary had been held captive.The three men guarding the outer corridor were shocked and immediately rushed to check the room. Sure enough, Hary was no longer there. All that remained was the cut rope, prompting the three men to exchange confused glances."Wasn't he here?" The man in black, who was the first to enter, swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down as he turned to face Smith.Just as he feared, Smith glared at them with sharp, fiery red eyes, indicating that his anger had reached its boiling point."Idiots!" Smith lashed out, striking the three men with a loud slap that echoed through the small room. "What were you doing that let that bastard escape? Can’t you do your jobs properly?"The three men cowered in fear, clutching their stinging cheeks as their jaws ached, feeling as though their bones had shifted from the impact."Find him now. Where the hell did he go?" Smith's voice growl

Two days have passed since the incident. Rachel, Richard's fiancé, feels curious and anxious because Richard has not contacted her at all during that time.Now, the woman used to be pensive on the edge of the bed, repeatedly looking into the phone screen to see if there was an incoming reply or a phone call, but in fact, what she expected didn't happen.His eyes were bent in sorrow, grasping the phone in his hand weakly without enthusiasm. "Why doesn't he want to contact me at all? What is he really doing that he doesn't even have time to just look at my message?"Rachel is restless because Richard is usually never like this. Even though he was busy, Richard always took the time to contact even if it was just a few messages and one phone call, because now he felt uneasy and questioned where Richard had gone.Rachel exhaled harshly. "I have to see him in person."He nodded his head, rounding up his determination. Rachel hurriedly changed her clothes, exited the house, and drove her car

"What's going on? What's going on?" Rachel stared at the many black-clad men who came into her house. The sudden ambush took her by surprise. She moved backwards, pulled by Bradley to hide behind his back, fearing that her child was in danger. However, the father tried to protect him along with his wife, who he also pulled behind his body. "Who are you guys trying to do in this place?" Bradly ventured to ask. They somehow breached the security in their house, which was usually quite safe, but he tried to handle the situation as calmly as possible. The man named Wayne calmed him down. "Don't panic sir we didn't come to do anything bad, instead we were ordered to guard this residence keeping this family safe." He tried to calm them down. "We came under the orders of Mr. James Morrison." "Mr. James?" Rachel walked out from behind her father's back. She repeated his name in surprise, hoping for news of Richard. "Is there any news of Richard?" She hurriedly approached them. Wayne

"Hey there!" a man who was busy moving things headed towards Richard. "Hurry up and move these things." He signaled Richard by pointing his hand towards the sizable and heavy-looking wooden boxes.Richard nodded his head and hurried over to him. "Okay."Right now, Richard, with his appearance looking different from usual, was deliberately going undercover in that place where his enemy was hiding. He needed to find out about what they were planning up close.In addition, Richard also planned to observe their movements. This decision was a bit difficult to accept and quite dangerous, but for the record, there was no better place than where their enemies were.When he was far away, he always felt stalked by them, and he could not escape their attention. It was just like he was waiting for those people to target him again, which was unsettling."What exactly are the contents of these items? This work is getting more and more tiring by the day?" One of the workers there put down the items

Richard's POVRichard carefully carried Naomi to a quiet, secluded spot, away from prying eyes. He gently set her down near where he stood, then took off his shirt and spread it on the ground. "Sit here for a moment," he said, helping Naomi to sit down. Though the girl looked confused, she obeyed Richard and sat there, watching him as he stood up again. "I'll be back soon," he said before hurrying away. As promised, he returned shortly afterward, holding a first-aid kit. Naomi gave Richard a puzzled look. She hadn't expected to find someone like him among her father's workers. Honestly, she was quite impressed—not only was Richard handsome with a pleasant voice, but he was also acting like a true gentleman toward her. "Where did you get that?" she asked, glancing at the first-aid kit in Richard's hands. "This?" Richard lifted the box slightly before sitting down beside her. "It's from the workroom. Sometimes it's used for minor injuries. First-aid treatment," he explained

"You're here?" Naomi, who had been wandering around searching for Richard, finally found him busy moving packages from a delivery truck.Richard quickly put the box down and tried to shield Naomi from the view of the other workers. "What's wrong? Why are you here, miss?" She shouldn't have been there, and Richard anxiously glanced around, worried that Naomi's overseers might see them together, which could expose their closeness.If anyone found out about their relationship, it could ruin Richard's plan to get close to Naomi or worse, create problems for him."I came looking for you." Like him, Naomi nervously scanned their surroundings, then quickly grabbed Richard's arm and led him away.Richard let himself be pulled along, though he feigned confusion. "Miss... miss? Where are you taking me?" he asked in a panicked tone.Naomi kept hold of his hand, glancing back briefly. "Stop talking. You'll be fine with me. I won't put your life at risk." She spoke with such seriousness that Richa

One evening, after a few hours, more than one helicopter landed in the village area, and the whole village became crowded because of this.They did not expect that the missing person who had been searched for by the strangers who came to the village was still alive. To them, it was quite impossible; considering what the storm was like that day and the ocean was a fierce place, they did not think that the missing person was still safe and intact."Mr. Richard." Smith got off first and came to him hurriedly.The 45-year-old man hugged Richard so tightly and emotionally that he had almost given up hope in his quest to find Richard. He himself had even stopped hoping that the possibility of Richard being alive and somewhere was such a great miracle. He was alive and found somewhere.Smith released his embrace and looked at Richard with happiness mixed with emotion. "I'm glad you're okay, sir."After Smith let go, James, who was led by Rachel, hugged him tightly. "I trust you are doing wel

"Alright, then. Tomorrow, we will go to look for your family's whereabouts." Alexa made the choice; Richard looked at her, who seemed confused.Richard didn't understand why Alexa seemed so serious when they had never discussed it with obvious effort before. "Why all of a sudden?" he wondered if perhaps they no longer wanted him there. Is it possible that my presence is becoming inconvenient?"Alexa smiled with a shaded face, her head shook, and her hand rubbed lightly over the back of Richard's hand, trying to get his attention. "No, it's not. Your existence is not inconvenient at all; quite the opposite. I'm honestly grateful to have you here." Alexa pursed her lips tightly and turned her attention to stare straight back ahead.She stared at the vast and calm expanse of the sea. Her feelings about letting go of Richard were still quite reluctant. She had a great desire to keep Richard there, but she also didn't want to be selfish."Today my friend came to tell me that in the village

After finishing cleaning up, Richard went to Alexa, who also seemed to be cleaning up the glasses in their house's living room.Richard's eyes scanned the place, looking for the whereabouts of the guest whose voice had been heard earlier when he entered through the back door. "Has the guest gone home?" he glanced over and helped Alexa.Without hesitation, Richard's hand took over the tray Alexa was carrying and placed it in the kitchen. At the same time, Alexa followed suit, carrying the snack container. "Yes, they're home." She replied flatly, without any expression that sounded cheerful from her answer.Richard watched her, noticing something a little different about Alexa's demeanour compared to usual. He thought maybe the guests had affected her mood, or maybe something else was to blame. He wasn't sure exactly, but even he didn't want to ask if Alexa didn't seem to want to explain. "Who are the guests who came?" She made small talk while walking towards the dining table.Approach

"Jacob, where are you going?" one of the villagers greeted Richard, who seemed to be walking with an axe in his hand. "Are you heading to the forest?" he asked enthusiastically because he was happy to see Richard, one of the new residents there.Richard, who had just managed to turn around and look for who was talking to him, smiled and nodded. "Morning, Mr. Jack." He politely greeted the old man whom he recognized as Sam's friend."Yes, morning, young man." He smiled kindly in response to Richard's greeting. "If you have time, come to the house. You promised to help me yesterday when you were free."Richard nodded. "Later, when I am free, I will try to drop by, sir. " He selflessly helped some nearby neighbours who needed his help.It had been a month since he had been in that place, and now he was living a very normal life there. Just like everyone else, Richard also had his own activities. Sometimes, he joined some men to go fishing at sea, without him knowing that he used to be a

Sitting in his private room, James looked anxiously at the picture frame containing Richard's picture. For days, he had been waiting for news of Richard and conducted a massive search. But the search was ultimately fruitless. There were still no reports of Richard's whereabouts or any signs of him being stranded somewhere.Her worries grew as time passed. The first 24 hours after Richard disappeared were the golden hour to find his whereabouts and determine whether he was in good or bad condition.But a week had passed since then, and there was still no further news of his whereabouts."Is there still no sign of Richard's whereabouts?" James asked Smith in the room.His anxiety was rife with other things, his heart was in turmoil, and his feelings had become chaotic since Richard's whereabouts were declared missing.The news of Richard's disappearance made him not stop thinking about where Richard was and what the situation was like. His condition, which he continues to worry about, c

"What took you so long to come back?" Alexa, who was waiting there, turned her head and noticed Richard, who had just returned, walking over to her.Richard nodded his head. "In line." he took over the groceries held by Alexa.Telling her about what he experienced while inside earlier, for him, Alexa didn't need to know that the Baron was still bothering him. Apart from not wanting to make the woman anxious, he also didn't want Alexa to have a particular view of his attitude that could be considered rude by her.He smiled at the woman. "Do we have anything else to do? Or do you want us to go home?"Alexa helped Richard carry a few easy things to take to not burden Richard too much. "Let's just go home; it's too late. Tomorrow, I have to get up early to store breakfast because Dad will be leaving early in the morning." She started to leave the place, followed by Richard, who walked beside her."Tomorrow morning? Where is Sam going?""Dad said there is someone he needs to help. One of t

Alexa glanced at Richard with a gaze that stared strangely at him."Why are you looking at me like that?" Richard, who realized her gaze, then asked.Alexa headed back to stare straight ahead. "I was just wondering. How could you do that? When you did it earlier, I looked so expert. Unlike someone who just tried, your posture and then the techniques you used seemed to clearly show that you were an expert." She looked back at Richard in confusion. "Tell me, how did you do it?"Richard looked at her in silence for a while. Like Alexa, he was confused by what had been done. He did not expect that his ability was that great.The more he thought about it, the more astonished he became. He obviously didn't remember anything at all., but strangely, he could do it all so well. "I don't know., Richard shook his head as he replied. "I'm not sure myself what I'm doing and how I'm doing it so well. All I feel is that my body knows how to do it." He explained the confusion to Alexa.After hearing

"No, it can't be like that. I disagree that I should stay away from her." Baron rejected their agreement, which he agreed to without thinking.Obviously, Baron rejected Richard's request to limit his interaction with Alexa. He dared challenge Richard and felt hateful and annoyed at him because Alex was the reason. He didn't want any other man or Richard to get close to him.Baron has liked Alexa for a long time, and Jack, from their teenage stuff, has always followed and been attracted to her. But his feelings were unrequited because Alexa didn't show any interest in him at all.The Baron knew that. He knew that Alexa didn't like him, but he still tried to get close to her, hoping that someday Alexa would change her mind. He kept trying and never gave up because he thought that maybe his efforts would be rewarded with what he hoped for someday.But if he couldn't get close to her in the end just because he lost the bet, then his efforts all this time were futile and ridiculous.He sho

The two of them were now in their respective positions, wearing a set of arrows and getting ready in place. He arrows where they were. They were surrounded by people who wanted to witness the showdown between the two.On one side, Richard only came along with Alexa, who was currently so nervous and anxious about the possibility of Richard's condition getting a bad name with this challenge.On the other hand, Baron was surrounded by friends who were eager to see Richard defeated. The young men of the village clearly disliked Richard's existence and the way Richard behaved towards them.Specifically, they didn't need a reason to dislike Richard because even just looking at him could immediately make them dislike him and want to look down on him."Shouldn't you undo your intentions, Jacob?" Alexa approached him again and spoke in a worried tone.She was distraught, having promised her father that she would look after Richard. She would take Richard there with the insight that maybe from
