Thank y'all for coming this far. Keep reading. We're almost getting closer to the end of the book.
Within a few minutes, Sharon arrived at Aidan's house. “Sorry for the interruption, sir.” said Wayne to Aidan.“ Sharon is here." “Wait, what?” Aidan was shocked to hear that. He recalled contacting Sharon, but she never wanted to talk to him.“Did you invite her or did she come all by herself?” Aidan inquired.“Well, I invited her over, so we can discuss something crucial with you and this young man sitting here.” Wayne pointed at Felix and Felix became scared, thinking that Wayne might have reported him to Sharon, so she could come with the police to arrest him.Upon seeing how Felix was panicking, Wayne said to him,“ You don't need to panic, please. No one is going to harm you. I have a message for you all. And I want us to team up and work together, okay? So, be calm.”Felix was a bit calm, but he was yet to be sure that the police hadn't called upon him to come and arrest him.He nodded his head as if he were peaceful, but he was having a restless mind.“Please let her in,” said
“Now that everyone is aware of who was the cause of all this misunderstanding, what do you suggest we should do as a team to hunt him down?” Wayne asked with an angry expression.Everyone's faces in the living room had turned pale as they thought of the best way to handle the situation at hand.“I suggest we report to the police as soon as possible. How about that…?” Charlotte submitted.“No!” Felix cut in sharply.“ The police shouldn't be informed. My old friends and I will take care of it. Give me just two days and I will present Antonio's and his friend's dead bodies to you. Trust me, he must have planned to flee from the country. Yes. Because his girlfriend, Alicia, tried to sneak out of the house last night until I caught her.” Felix explained.“No, Felix. You and your friends might not be able to handle this alone. You need the police to back you up. No one can know how well-prepared Antonio and his friend are now. Do not take the law into the house, either. Perhaps, it's the po
Felix and Charlotte arrived home after leaving Aidan's mansion. Thankfully, before they got home, Kate was done dealing with Alicia's case with the police. Alicia's body was brought down and taken away. However, before the police could do that, she got in touch with Alicia's family.Yeah, Alicia was brought from a company where young ladies are hired who wish to work as maids to earn a living. So, getting her parents wasn't tough because the company had her details written down by the company.Just as Felix and Charlotte step foot into the living room, they find Kate lying on one of the sofas with a sad face, with her gaze on the television set before her. She was probably watching news on the television because there was no one to keep her company, causing the house to be boring as it always is.“Hey, welcome back home.” Kate sat properly and welcomed the two young couples.“ Charlotte, were you able to see your boss?”Before Charlotte could open her mouth and answer Kate, Felix had
Later that night, Felix prepared to leave the house for the club, where he knew that he would find his old friends so that they could plan how to hunt Antonio.He was standing a few inches away from the house entrance, while Charlotte stood beside him with Felix's hand in her palms.On the other hand, was Kate standing opposite them with her arms crossed over her chest. Her face was still looking downcast because of what Felix told her about Antonio. The news was still ringing in her memory like a dream.“Try to communicate with Aidan tonight, please. He might have something important to tell you.” Felix conversed with Kate.She nodded her head without saying a word. “Hmm… I wanted to suggest something. Am I permitted?” Charlotte spoke in a calm voice.“Why not? You are already part of this family. So go ahead and speak, darling.” Felix quickly responded to her.“Alright.” Charlotte nodded and said,“ To make things easier, I will submit that Kate should call her ex-boyfriend and tal
The two friends sat on a reserve, a bit of distance away from the crowd that was dancing to the rhythm of the music that was being played in the background.“So, what's up, man? You disappeared all of a sudden and reappeared today again. Where did you go without informing me?” Mike asked coldly.“Forgive me, Mike, for leaving without telling me. The truth is that it came unaware, and I had to travel as soon as possible after I was told…” Felix suddenly paused as he thought of a perfect lie to tell his friend.“After you were told what?” Mike curiously raised a question as he slid his hand into his trousers pocket and brought out a cigarette and lit it up.“Do you care for one?” Mike offered.“Not at all. I no longer smoke like before. At least, you should notice that I'm now a changed person. Didn't it reflect on me?”“Hmm… Well, I guess it did because of the expensive clothes you are putting on. Apart from that, you are still the same. Perhaps, the beards you left, too, dignified tha
Now, Aidan fixed a befitting place for them to meet. As planned, all of them met in a fixed place.These team members were seven, including Felix's friends. They were as follows, Aidan, Sharon; Kate, Wayne; Felix and his two friends.“Sorry, man. I couldn't convince my second friend to come with us. So, only the two of us were able to make it up to you.” Mike apologized to Felix as they sat around a table.“No issue about that, bro. I got you. At least, we have a good enough number to handle this issue.” Felix responded and Mike nodded.The room went silent for a while before the entrance finally opened. All of them turned their gazes to the entrance and found Sharon entering the room.“Sorry guys. I was stuck in the traffic, that's why I'm late.” Sharon apologized and they all nodded.Immediately after she sat down, Aidan stood up to address them.“I welcome you all. Thank you for honoring my invitation to work as a team to deal with issues we have on the ground. However, before I pr
Kate and Henry took a taxi and headed to Antonio's house. After a few miles of driving around the city, they arrived at the house Antonio sometimes takes her to as his father's house.Getting into the house wasn't tough for them because the gatemen knew Kate as Antonio's girlfriend. They weren't aware that they had broken up with each other.Kate and Henry were led to Antonio's parents, who were eating breakfast in the dining room.As soon as Antonio's parents set eyes on Kate and the young man standing beside her, Antonio's mom excitedly called out.“Hey, my daughter.” the old woman who appeared to be in her early sixties muttered.Kate and Henry walked up to the old couple sitting in the dining room alone without their son, or a grandchild. They respectfully exchanged pleasantries with Antonio's parents, without showing any sign that they were there for something different; rather than what they might be thinking.“Is he your younger brother that you told us about?” Antonio's fathe
The two ladies woke up at the same time in an unfamiliar room with their heads itching as if it were about to cut off.They were still feeling dizzy because of the strange powder charm that was used on them by their captors.“Where are we? And how did we arrive here?” Kate fearfully asked after noticing that they were in an unknown place.Kate and Sharon weren't only taken to an unknown place by the captors, but they were both tied to different chairs and set in the middle of the scanty, enormous room.With shaky hands, Sharon responded to Kate,“ I have no clue about where we are, Kate. It seems like we were tricked by those two young men that we were together with.” “I never wanted to trust those men, but I couldn't help it because of Aidan. He was in charge, and it wouldn't speak well if we challenged him about the formation. Now, see where we are. If only I knew, I would have opposed him.” Kate conversed with Sharon.“The same thing that I was thinking. We made a mistake by not ad
