Richard stared at the cell phone on the floor and he shivered with anger and fear.

He was angry because such a little device was about to get him into so much trouble that might end his life.

He wished he would just say the word and it would move on its own.

"Too bad those things do not happen in the real world," he gasped out of frustration.

He wished he had called the police instead but he didn't Know the exact location that he was.

He just hope Roger would recognize the name 'Mafia Don' and locate them.

"How do I get rid of this cell phone now," Richard's thought returned to the cell phone as the footsteps drew nearer making his heart race even faster.

But there was no way he was going to be able to get rid of that.

His feet were tied and matter how hard he tried to shift that cell phone, it seemed not to move further than an inch.

"What do I do now," Richard thought still shivering.

    "Must you always be the Black sheep? Can't you just act like a normal human being like the rest of us?" David fired angrily. "I didn't say a word, I swear," Richard swore already shivering.

    Lawrence stood there as more large lumps went down his spine like large stones thrown down into a rusty tunnel and cold shivers ran down his spine. He stared into the man before him, staring at him with an evil smile hovering on his face and he felt like tearing that smile away from his dark face. "Just walked into your trap, did you?" Divo said to Lawrence. "I knew that this was the perfect bait to get you," he added to what he had earlier said. "I knew that something was you walked passed us the other day," Lawrence whispered out loud still shaking with great fear and trembling like a little child about to be locked away in a dark scary room.

At this, Divo stepped towards him while he gradually moved backward, and at a point, he stop and shot a glare at Lawrence. "Well let us say I just got to know that you were spying on me from the way you stared at me that day when I walked by that day. I was

    Richard shivered hard with fear and cold shivers ran down his spine as the first set of whips created bold lines on his body. The whips felt like a surge of electric current all around him and he shivered hard at their effect.

"You think you are strong right, we will see how long you will be able to hold on to this," Gerald said with a hateful glare hanging on his face.

"Why don't you just do what you are asked to and cut shot your pain?" Rachael gasped irritated by his self-acclaimed endurance. "I can no longer take this," Richard said to himself.

    "It is a great suggestion but we cannot deny the fact that I am married to someone," Victoria returned almost immediately. Mrs. Luci turned towards Victoria the very instant she heard what her daughter just threw out of her mouth and she shot a glare at her. "Do you even enjoy living with that slut?" Mrs. Luci inquired trying hard to control a total outburst since Victoria was the center of attraction there. Victoria sighed inwardly, she might sometimes act like she hated Richard passionately but it was still worth it seeing him around. The fact was just that most of the time, her disgust for him and hatred always overshadowed her soft heart toward him. "Did you even hear what I just said?" Mrs. Luci inquired snapping her off her thoughts. "It's not that mum. You don't seem to get the point that I am trying to make here. The problem is not with me, it's with Richard," Victoria replied quickly. "How? Does he have a say in a matter like this?" Mrs. Luci inquired. "He doesn't b

    Meanwhile, Mrs. Luci's phone beeped silently at the side of her bed. Immediately she saw the name of the caller, her heart skipped a beat. It was the agent in charge of their goods ordered from outside the country. She just couldn't wait to hear that the goods had landed safely. "Good day mam," the agent greeted. "Good day to you too," Lady Tashia replied. "So how did it go?" She inquired. "Hmmm," the agent lingered a little before answering her question.
