Chapter 157As the call with Bella ended abruptly, Ethan's skepticism lingered in the quiet aftermath. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss, that the suddenness of Bella's dismissal held untold secrets. Turning to Jacob, a note of disbelief colored his words. "That was too quick. Did you manage to pinpoint her location?" he inquired, his gaze searching for answers in the uncertainty that loomed over them.Jacob, consumed by the task at hand, offered a faint nod. "I'm still working on it. Let's hold on to hope. We'll find her," he reassured, his fingers flying across the keyboard in a race against time. The anticipation in the air was palpable, a sense of urgency driving their collective pursuit of Bella's whereabouts.Meanwhile, Ethan redirected his focus to Marco, the tension between them hanging heavy in the air. "Why did Bella react that way towards you?" he prodded, a thread of curiosity weaving through his words. Marco, his patience wearing thin, shot back with
Chapter 158The night was dark and the warehouse loomed ominously in the distance as Jacob and his gang approached cautiously. They had tracked Bella's phone to this location and believed that she might be held captive inside. Under the cover of darkness, they found a hiding spot nearby and waited, hoping to catch a glimpse of the perpetrators or hear any clues that might lead them to Bella.Hours went by, and the silence was deafening. The only sound was the distant hum of the city and the rustling of the wind. Jacob and his friends strained their ears, trying to pick up any faint noise that could give away the location of Bella. But all they heard was the eerie quiet of the night.Suddenly, they saw a group of shadowy figures exit the warehouse and quickly disappear into the darkness. Jacob and his gang knew it was their chance to act. They split into groups and slowly made their way inside the warehouse, keeping their senses sharp and their eyes peeled for any sign of Bella.As the
159On hearing voices coming out from the warehouse, they all hid as they just could not understand why voices will be heard in a warehouse.This is a company's warehouse, it is supposed to be only a building for goods so would be in there and why this time unless they are here to steal something.As they all hid behind the wall,Marco knew that he was hearing a voice which definitely sounded like Bella's "Wait a minute, that is Bella's " he arched his brow and has he tried to move forward to check if he was mistaken or not, Ethan pulled him back"Are you crazy? Where do you think you are going?" He asked but Marco jerked his hands off"Let go of me you crazy psycho. I told you several times not to do that again, don't talk to me like we are friends or like you care " He glared at Ethan"And do you think I actually give a fuck about you? I am just asking because I am so worried about the rest of us. What if you making a rash move eventually let those psychos hurt Nadia?" Ethan clenche
160Both Ethan and Marco ganged up against Aaron and started to hit him so hard that Aaron pretended to have given up.They gave up on beating him and just as they were about to leave, Aaron suddenly stood up and suddenly dragged Marco back and started to hit him so hard.Ethan felt so bad for Marco for the first time He was actually dragged here in the first place and now he is the one Aaron is hitting He could not just stand there watching without doing anything so he looked around and found a piece of broken bottles on the floor.He took the bottles on the floor and suddenly stabbed Aaron with it on his arm before he would kill Marco Aaron yelled out in pain as he immediately covered the bleeding part with his palm, however he seems to be bleeding so badly but Ethan did not care a bit.He stretched his hand forward to Marco and helped him stand on his feet"Thanks man " Marco thanked him.Back to Bella and Anita, this time they were no more pulling each other's hairWhen Anita n
161Marco did not care what was going on between Ethan and Bella even though he saw them talking, he immediately walked over to where they were standing and immediately turned Ethan over to himself "Bella!" He called sternly.Bella turned to look at him with a frown on his face and took few steps away from him"What do you want from me?" She asked"Hey" Marco said again and sighed "What in the came over you? Why have you changed so much?" He asked and Bella scoffed"What in the world are you talking about? I have always been like this" she replied him bluntly "That is not possible, you are Bella. You don't kidnap people, especially Kids so tell me what is wrong with you" he asked with so much concern and worry"And why the fuck do you care?" Bella rolled her eyes like she was being burdened "By the way, didn't I tell you not to talk to me again? We literally have no business together anymore " she said and turned to go but Marco grabbed her back by her wrist"Stop it Bella. You can
162"Bella, I can explain. It's not really what you think" Marco gently pushed Natasha off him and tried to apologize but before he could do that, Bella punched him on the face and suddenly pounced on himPunching him and hitting him like there is no other chance for her to do that.When Aaron noticed that Bella was rather punching him too hard, he immediately walked over to where they were even though his hand was hurting like hell and he managed to separate them before Bella would actually kill Marco.He is a guy but at least everyone should agree that Bella is quite the strong femaleshe was panting heavily, trying to release herself from Aaron's grip like she has lost her mind or something but Aaron did not give up on herHe kept on holding her so tight because he knows that she could actually bite Marco ears off if they are not careful.Marco sighed as he stood up and then everyone thought he would actually go on his knees one more time like he has done before but this time, Marc
Just right at the scene as they were arguing and all, Jacob was so fast in informing the cops about the whole situation He just could not stand by, watching without doing nothing Just as Marco was about to start beating Bella up, the sound of sirens was heard and Aaron immediately separated them knowing fully well that the cops were nearbyBut to their surprise, the cops were not just nearby but they were actually coming for them"Everyone, freeze! And drop your weapons!" The police in charge immediately orderedBut unfortunately for Aaron, even though he was stabbed in the hand, he was the only one holding a weapon which was a bat at the moment.And of course, he did drop it but then he was the first one the cops arrested,Jacob who called the cops immediately informed them that the one who kidnapped a little girl just like he has explained to them earlier on the phone was Bella and Aaron.After arresting Aaron, the cops also arrested Bella and they were taken away.Marco broke dow
Ethan couldn't stop thinking about two nights ago. Bella had taken the lead and straddled him on the bed, chasing her pleasure.Although he was already madly in love with her, he loved her a bit more that night. He bit his bottom lip, getting turned on.The cabbage factory had paid him his salary for the week, and he couldn't stop smiling. Ethan stopped at the flower shop and purchased red roses for his beautiful and sexy wife.He opened the Uber app and called a driver. Taking the train would waste his time, and he couldn't bear to be away from Bella any longer on their anniversary.After the ride, the driver said, “That will be $60, sir.”Ethan checked his pockets, and instantly he began to sweat. His wallet had been stolen at the flower store. He drew out the linens of both pockets, and two twenty-dollar notes fell off.“Erm… I swear I had money on me.” He rubbed the back of his neck, holding out the cash.The driver glared at him and snatched the 40 dollars from his hand. “Not all
