128"You were watching me the whole time?" Marco suddenly felt embarrassed as the memories of how terrified he looked when he first got to the cabin flashed through his brain"Of course I was " She suddenly started to laugh again "Why in the world did you do that?" Marco covered his face, embarrassedNatasha did not say a word again, the only sound that kept coming from her was the sound of her laugh.Marco sighed as he stood up and dusted his clothes then his gaze went from embarrassed to stern but Natasha despite seeing that was still not intimidated or moved in any way"I asked why you did that but you keep laughing, without showing any remorse either, don't you feel bad for me?!" He blurted outBut despite him raising his voice just to make her say something, Natasha seems not to be taking him serious stillShe kept laughing without battling a eye That was when Marco knew just how unserious she took him and that made him sad and upset at the same time "Why do you keep laughing?
"I asked you a question, I am definitely not trying to say anything, I am trying to ask a question" Natasha shrugged Marco's gaze moved away from her and diverted to the tilted floor and that action made Natasha scoffed"I knew it. You definitely did something wrong"."I did nothing wrong, what are you talking about?" Marco's eyes was not fixed in one particular place or direction He kept moving his eyeballs all around the room and directions but then the only place he never looked at was Natasha's eyes and that made him even look more suspicious to Natasha She sucked in her teeth and folded her arms, watching just how restless she wasHe was obviously telling lies but denying itShe had told him so many times that he is a bad liar but it seems he does not want to believe her and now the whole thing is backfiring Marco moved away from her and went to sit on the bed, still not looking at her in any wayHe cleared his throat and in order to avoid being questioned, he decided to go b
"Marco, how about you tell me the truth now? What in the world is it that you are hiding from me ? Why are you so against me coming to your house?". she unfolded her arms and moved closer to him with a smile "It's okay, you don't feel pressured, you can just tell me about it"Marco took a step back and his gaze diverted to the wall behind Natasha, she tells him not feel pressurized but then Marco was really feeling pressurized His legs was shaking and he was trying all his best not to show it so that she would not say that he is scared again Since that is what she has been saying ever since they got to have a conversation togetherShe only keeps talking about how scared he was when he came into the cabin Of course he was scared and right now he is even more scared because She is acting so Weird "Natasha, I already told you, I am going on a business trip and I....."Before he could complete his sentence, Natasha interrupted with a scoff"And I told you I would move in with my son,
"I do not expect you to believe me but I sincerely hope that nothing would happen to Nadia before it is too late" she said and Ethan lifted his brow."What do you mean by that?" He asked as he immediately grabbed her shoulder so tightly that her shoulders started to hurt, she was wincing in pain and trying to release herself from Ethan's grip but he was just too strong for herWhen she could not resist anymore, she just gave in and endured the pain just like that"What are you doing?" Tears started to gather in her eyes "How could you do this to me? You are hurting me ""I asked what you meant by Nadia being in danger, what in the world is going on?" He shook her vigorously, hoping that she would confess and say something about the situation, about that she meant but Anita remained lip tightened"Screw you" Ethan frowned and threw her against the wall angrily, making her hit her back on the wall and groan in pain"What the hell? Can't you go easy on me? Why do you keep pushing me arou
132Ethan sighed as he released his hand and bowed his head facing the ground "Jacob, it is time for the war to begin" He said sternly.Jacob arched his brow, having a smuggled look on his face as a soft scoff emerged from his mouth"What are you talking about Ethan?" He asked curiously "Jacob, can you try to be serious for once? Why do you always take everything with levity hand? Are you not scared? Why do you joke about everything?!" He snapped and Jacob jerked up at the way his voice was loud"Chill bro" Jacob tried to calm him down "I have no idea what you are talking about which is why I am asking you what you are talking about "Ethan sighed deeply as he was done packing the files inside his bag, he bent and tied his shoe lace before proceeding to leave the room but Jacob pulled him back"Ethan " Jacob called "Will you please tell me what is going on? What do you mean when you said it is time to begin war?""It is time to begin war, that is what i mean. Do you want me to star
"I don't care. I don't care if I get hurt on the way, I am going to get to the root of all this, I am going to find the person behind this" Ethan said sternly looking determined.* * * *Little Nadia was in school playing hide and seek with her friends, she was happy as she kept running around trying to seek her friends who his from herShe played the game a lot whenever she is with her mommy so she is really good at itIn just few minutes of her friends hiding from her, she was able to see them all out from their hiding places It has always been like thatAnytime she is playing hide and seek with her friends, she would always be the one to seek while they all hide since they know that of course she would definitely be able to seek them all out of their hiding places."I found you" she squealed happily as she found the last friend whom she had to seek"Nadia, let's play it again " one of her friends demanded from her but then the teacher walked to the playing ground to stop them all
134"No, that can't be " Ethan could feel his heart racing so fast as it came to his mind that Nadia has been kidnapped.He ran his fingers through his hair and ruffled angrily when the whole event suddenly downed on him "What is going on? You saw someone pick Nadia?" Jacob asked since Ethan looked like he was slowly losing his mind"Y... yes " the principal's voice suddenly started to tremble when she suddenly realized what was going onA student being kidnapped in the school premises while suddenly cause a damage to the school if the parent is not a patient and calm typeAnd judging by his looks, The principal herself was not sure if Ethan would fit in the description or if he would not.On the outside, he looks like a calm gentleman but the expression on his face definitely shows that he is going to be a psycho if he eventually loses it."What are you going to do if anything happens to the little girl? We put her in your care but you could not protect her?!" Jacob blurted out "Wha
135Natasha picked up the flower vase beside the bed and smashed it on the floor, yelling out Marco's name like a psycho"You son of a bitch, anything that happens from now, just know that you brought it all upon yourself" She cursed him out.Marco drove few kilometers back homeHis head was so full that he could not get the stress that Natasha had made him go through out of his headHe just could not understand the whole situation and Natasha even made it all worse by not telling him a single word about what is going onEven though he tried to pester her several times to talk, she only kept laughing This only felt strange to MarcoEven though Natasha can be a little unserious sometimes, there is a limit to how unserious she would getIf you threaten her or force her to say something, she would certain say something even though saying it would not be a part of her planMarco felt something was strange about the whole situation From him getting a text to go to the cabin, to his life
