Layla told me everything.” Nate said to me after shaking hands with me.“Thank you for hosting me even if it was impromptu.”“Oh come on, we are one family.”“So you are not going to avoid me since my father is a kill
Chapter 84Writer’s PovYears ago.Andrew's father went inside his secret room to make a video,he set the camera and took a deep breath before he started recording."Hey son,how are you? Confused right? Don’t worry this video will answer everything and I hope you forgive me after watching it. I will possibly be dead by then, I was one of those who actually founded the Dark Circle.“He took a deep breath after saying that and looked at the lens of the camera recording, “I am so sorry, I didn’t mean to leave such a terrible reputation behind, I was carried away with greed without bringing myself to reason like how you would expect your father to act ”Tears left his eyes and he wiped them off, “I have failed you and your mother, I really want to protect you two, that’s my greatest wish so far, will I be alive to do so? My son In case I don’t make it, it’s okay if you can’t forgive me but I need you to promise me you will destroy the evil I created with my hands.” He brought out a file i
Chapter 85Andrew’s POV“Please son, forgive me, don’t hate me as your father and for my lovely wife, if you are still alive please forgive me but if you don’t also make it, I will forever never forgive myself because I brought all these upon us, I miss us so much mostly when we all go on vacation, I will always cherish the good memories, I need to go now, I hope you find this recording soon.”I cried my eyes out when the video finished playing, a hand touched my shoulder to calm me down, it was Romeo.“Stop crying, now we have the truth in front of us and also a prove that your father is not a killer, he just got carried away for some time, he tried to do the right thing but was killed by that bastard, we are going to take him down with the others, now we have the names.” He said clutching his fist.“Yes you are right and I am just crying because I didn’t have much faith in my father, I actually believe he was a killer, yes he is the founder but I am glad he never killed with his han
Chapter 86Andrew’s POV“Okay, fine. This is the plan, Plan A. We need to kidnap Mrs. Susan Beets from that mental home,” I said, looking at Romeo with determination.Romeo’s eyes widened in shock. “WHAT?!” he exclaimed, his voice echoing off the walls.I stood my ground, knowing this was the only way. “That’s the only option we have now.”Romeo shook his head, incredulous. “Are you crazy? Do you know what’s required of us to take out Mrs. Susan Beets from that place? Are you on some drugs or what? I’m lost here. I guess Amanda leaving has really made you insane. Just give me some time, and I’ll talk to her so she can give you a chance.”I sighed, frustrated. “I’m perfectly normal, and I’m not on any drugs, okay? This is the only way out. Something tells me they’re going to hurt her. I really don’t want anything to harm my mother-in-law.”Romeo threw up his hands. “Oh, sweet Lord, help my friend, for he is crazy and out of his damn mind! I’m not supporting you in any suicide missions.
Chapter 87Andrew’s POVI never knew I was on the floor for more than ten minutes and even the lady who brought the divorce papers already left.“What happened?” Romeo inquired from me.“She wants to end the marriage,” I replied.“That’s not possible, maybe it’s a prank, where is the camera?” He asked checking around the premises.“It’s not a prank at all, the lady who came in was her lawyer and the painful part of it all, she didn’t bring it herself, does she hate me so much that she is finding it really difficult to face me?” I questioned myself over and over again.“She doesn’t hate you, I guess she is acting based on her emotions, we will look for her and sort everything out.”“I will call her again, give me your phone, if she blocks my number,I believe I will be able to reach her with yours,” I suggested and he gave me his phone immediately.We walked to the living room together, I placed a call to Amanda but it kept disconnecting, don’t tell me she has turned off her phone.I tr
Chapter 88Andrew’s POV“Just tell me why I am here.”“I want us to bring down those guys together and you are the only living witness,” I stated.“You are crazy, I wonder what my daughter sees in you, if you are going to get yourself killed, count me out, I am not interested in dying,my daughter already lost her father, and I don’t want her to lose me.”“That won’t happen, I won’t let you die,” I assured her.“I want to sleep now, I am tired.” She rested on the bed ignoring me, I guess I finally understand where Amanda got her toughness and stubbornness from.I guess it’s time to retreat, at least things are getting better, she knows the truth now and I know she needs time to process everything.I am fully confident she will have to join me in bringing those enemies down, they were the ones who exposed the truth to Amanda knowing it would hurt the most since we never expressed it to her.I returned to my room and ended up being drunk before dozing off.I woke up very late the next mo
Chapter 89Amanda's POV Daddy, I am sorry once more, can you ever forgive me? I suddenly felt sick and passed out after two days.The day I turned on my phone, I got a call from Layla, I never told her what was going on, what if I shared this with her so she could also advise me?Damn, this is so insane, I would say."Hello Layla,” I said feeling so weak."Hey you, you are sounding so weak, are you sick?” She asked of me and I nodded my head."Not at all, I am okay.”"Okay, I want to invite you for dinner and I won't take no for an answer.”"I am sorry, I will pass.” I replied, what if she gets troubled seeing me this way? It's really not good, I love Layla and she is my best friend, can I avoid her forever when she did nothing wrong?"Are you serious right now?” She asked again and I gave a conclusion of coming to have dinner with her and her family.She ended the call when I told her I needed to get a little rest before I started coming. I looked at a few pictures on my phone and
Chapter 90Amanda's POV I opened my eyes and found myself in an empty room, I felt so weak and it took me some seconds to realize that I had been kidnappedI started banging at the door screaming, "Let me out of here, please let me go.” I continued hitting the door but got no response.I fell to the ground in tears wondering what my fate would be. Are they going to kill me or what?A few moments later, the door opened revealing a guy in a mask and he gave me some food, "Eat.” He said and trying to leave I begged him."Please let me go, you got the wrong person, I haven't done wrong to anyone.”"Your fate will be decided by the boss but for now, the boss wants you to eat, I will return soon to check on you.” He added walking away and locking the door from the outside.What if this food is poisoned? I am not going to eat anything from it, I rather remain starving than eat what Is going to make me meet my early death.I noticed I was feeling sick again, and also about to fall asleep ove
Chapter 91Andrew's POV Amanda is pregnant and now they are both in danger, I have failed woefully.What am I going to do now?"We have no choice,” Romeo said to me and I felt so bad because it's all over, I don't know where to start again."Just call it off, I will be going home.”"I will do that now but you wait for her, make sure you don't do anything stupid okay.”'"Fine I will watch someone take Mrs Susan home.” I assured him and he took his leave.I sat in my chair like a failure. My wife is pregnant and I have no means to save her, what if he changes his mind and kills her this evening? What am I going to tell Mrs Susan Beets after I promised her, would protect her and her daughter?Father, I tried my best but it turned out that it's not working at all, what should I do? You told me to act smart and I did, maybe I am not smart enough. I don't think I will be able to do what you want. I have failed as a husband and a son and also as a father to my unborn child.Romeo retu
