Had Piper left without waiting for him? He went back outside and dialed Piper's number. She didn't answer the call.He tried calling her repeatedly but it was still the same. She wasn't answering the call.Why would she have gone instead of waiting for him? Not knowing what to do, he tried calling her number again, this time, it was switched off.He frowned. Switched off? Is she upset or something?With a frustrated hiss, he started toward the road to find a cab. That temper of Piper can be really annoying. What was so difficult for her to wait until he was back? After the hectic day he had, he couldn't believe he had to deal with Piper's attitude being like this. While he searched for a cab, he glanced at the parking lot. The exact place he had parked the Ferrari. Was it possible that Piper had left on her own? He frowned, thinking about the possibility of Piper leaving on her own.
She swallowed hard. What the fuck was happening? "What's the fuck is happening?" She snapped."Shh. Don't raise your voice," Anderson whispered. For a man in his position to look that scared, Piper's heart beat faster against her ribs."We've been kidnapped," he whispered again.Piper wasn't ready to believe that but looking at how rough and dirty his white suit had become, she couldn't help but… believe a bit of what he was saying."You've been unconscious for a long time," Anderson added."How long?""I'm not sure. I'm relieved that you are awake," Anderson said.Piper looked around the room again. There was no door at the entrance of the room. Shs glanced at Anderson. He seemed to have followed her eyes and knew what she was thinking of."I already checked. There is a door in the other room.""Have any of the bastards who brought us here com
At that moment, she remembered the incident of the SUVs that had been on their tail. Ryan had been so calm about everything as if he expected it. She felt like a fool for having believed Ryan was a calm guy. A good man. A great big brother. A part of her still felt there might be a misunderstanding somewhere and that Anderson might not know the Ryan she was talking about. "Anderson, are you fucking sure of all these?" Piper found herself asking, even though it sounded stupid to her ears."Actually, I don't have any intention of convincing you about anything. I just… I felt I should let you know about your boyfriend." Piper glanced at Anderson, she wanted to tell him off to hell for telling her all that stuff about Ryan but she bit back all the cuss in her throat when she saw the hurt in his face."I'm fucking sorry. I didn't mean that."Anderson turned his back to her. For a moment, no one said an
As she stared at him, Piper saw the anger… was that anger? Fuck. What she was seeing in Ryan's eyes was pure fury. It might have been for a second, but Piper realized that she didn't entirely believe all what Anderson had told her."Once we kill Ryan, I will make sure to fuck you until you lost the use of your legs." Ryan heard the man grabbing Piper's hair say.Piper must have been screaming before… She couldn't tell, her throat ached. She heard a loud scream when she saw Ryan moving toward them. She couldn't tell if the scream was from her or not "Run, brother Rye. Run, they're going to kill you!" She couldn't believe the loud shout was from her, all she knew was that the shout conveyed what was on her mind.Barely had Ryan heard Piper's shout for him to run when some men surrounded him. He couldn't tell where they had come from. He couldn't count them. All he noticed was that they surrounded him, holding clubs in their hand
The man was slightly surprised by Ryan's gut to hold the steel pipe. With his second hand, he held the pipe at the other end, making Ryan's hand to be in the middle.It all happened in a flash; Ryan twisted the pipe, the man held tightly to it. The snapping of the bone in the man's wrist as Ryan twisted harder, the fear in the man's green eyes as he tried to understand what was happening.The first thing Ryan had learnt about life when it comes to dealing with an enemy was to leverage on his enemies' fears. And that was what he did. He suddenly let go of the pipe. Due to the man's tight grip on the pipe, he flew across the room. It was as if all the forces holding him, the force of friction making it position for the green eyes man to remain on his feet had gone against his favour. His flying body finally found rest at the corner of the room. His body lay still on the floor.All the other men in the room had been discussing an
Ryan had picked up a club in a swift movement and had swung it at the man. It didn't only knock off the knife from the man's grip, it also hit the man's hand, creating a gash in the man's wrist. Ryan didn't wait for the man to process what was happening, he kicked him, sending him flying across the room just like the first man. The man screamed and a moment later, everything was quiet. As quiet as the early hours of the morning could be.Scar-face watched in horror as the last of his men lay dead on the floor. He walked backward as Ryan came toward him. Who would have believed this man had these great skills when he was lured here. He had only been informed that Ryan was quite dubious, there had been no information about him having this great skill to handle all his men.Seeing the determination in Ryan's eyes, scar-face resolved to the last thing he could do. If that didn't work then he is gone but he would damn well make sure it bloody wo
"What? What did you say?" Simon groaned in pain. All part of his body felt like it was on fire. He couldn't bloody die like this. There should be a way out."I could… speak to Tanner Wesley for you." Bloody hell, he couldn't believe that faint voice was his. He groaned again. His rib. The pain was more severe in that area. Had the bloody ribs broken?"What is my business with Tanner Wesley?" Simon attempted to clear his throat, but instead, blood splashed out of his mouth, some of it stained the already stained white shirt Ryan was wearing."He is our boss," Simon said in a faint voice. At this moment, his life mattered. He could sort things out with Tan when all these are over.'He is our boss'... The words echoed in Ryan's head until he could no longer think. The butler? Could it be possible that the butler had sent people to kill him? Or… he fell on his butt as a realization dawned on him. The B
The phone almost slipped from Ryan's hand. How do things always end up like this? Why does it have to be him? Why does it have to be the Butler? Why does it have to be the man who he relied on most, the man who has taught him a lot of life lessons? Ryan had known, had been pretty sure that the person who caused his amnesia would be someone very close to him… But the butler? Ryan bit his lower lip. He threw the phone on scar-face's thighs."Call him and tell him to come here."With trembling hands, Simon dialed the phone. He placed it on loudspeaker."Hi, Tan.""No business for now." "Yeah. I know. Can you come to…" Ryan heard scar-face call out the address of the factory to the butler. The man who answered the call was definitely the Butler. He couldn't miss the man's voice for any other one.Ryan wasn't sure how he would react when he saw the butler. He
