"Did you call her yet?" Ben asked Belle as she left the room to join him in the living room. He wanted to know if she had called Brie because she kept on repeating that she needed to call her sister to notify her of her safety."Yes, I have to go see her, she sounded really worried," Belle said to him, intending to really leave at that particular moment."Now?""Yes.""No," Ben said with finality in his voice."No?""You need to get some more rest, that's after we get back. I'm taking you out so we can have breakfast, after that you get some good rest.""But...""Your sister can see you later, we will have breakfast and you get some rest like I said. I already asked my doctor to come see that you are alright.""She's sounded so worried," Belle insisted."I wanna go see her, I can have breakfast at her place." She said lastly before it turned quiet between them both."Come, I'll take you there." He accepted her decision, picking up his suit jacket and holding the door for her to go thro
"Brie!" Belle couldn't take it anymore."Can you please stop? Please, just stop all of these accusations, okay? You are saying it's his fault, blaming him for all of this, do you know who saved me? Huh? It was him, he found me and he got me out of there.""That's because he probably knew where to find you all along," Brie felt so sure."Okay, now you are just saying this because you have an issue with him." Belle shook her head."No, I know what I'm saying...""It's not his fault Brie, it's not. The fact that he gifted me a house and I was kidnapped around there doesn't make it his fault. Can we please just go inside and be happy that I'm safe instead of accusing him?" Brie looked away after all her sister just said, she still believed her intuitions were right."Please, Brie?" Belle held her arm, making Brie look at her for a while."Okay," She shrugged with her arms folded against her chest."Is he coming in too?" She whispered to Belle."Yes.""Oh. We are still gonna talk about this
"Good day, sir," A policeman saluted Ben as he walked into the station. He was escorted to an interrogation room where Tiger was being questioned.The moment Ben stepped into the room, Tiger wanted to stand and approach him but an officer made him sit back down. His eyes were challenging Ben but he could do nothing as he was being held to the chair by chains.A proud smile took over Ben's lips when he saw how badly Tiger wanted to get at him. He was smiling because he knew he had ended his streak of invisibility from the police.Ben had worked with him before and knew where to find him after he discovered that he was the one in charge of Belle's kidnap. Tiger's biggest mistake was agreeing to kidnap Belle because now he was in jail after being able to successfully evade the police for almost a decade; he was in jail, thanks to Ben."Did he talk yet?" Ben threw the question to all the officers in the room, his hands in his pocket as he tried to remain calm after remembering what Belle
"Hey, would you like to have some?" Belle asked the burly man who had been standing there as she had her pie with Jenna and Alex."Thanks," he shook his head, not accepting her offer."It tastes really nice, have some," Jenna took the plate with the cut pie in it from Belle and handed it over to him, not letting him refuse this time."Here's a fork," Belle gave the fork to Jenna who passed it to him."You can sit," Jenna told him after he forked some of the apple pie into his mouth while standing."I should give some to those outside too," Belle said to no one in particular before putting cutting some pieces for the men protecting outside the house."Randy?" She called when she opened the front door. "You two can come have some pie, that's if you want to...?""Thanks, ma'am but we..." Randy wanted to refuse but the other man with him outside cut him."I would love some pie," he smiled."Come on in," Belle made way for him to go through."What about you, Randy? Won't you like a plate?"
"Here," Ben joined Belle in bed, handing her a packaged box."What is this?" She asked while looking at the box, trying to figure it out by herself."A new phone, I asked Randy to get it the moment I remembered. Open it and let me know if you like it or not."She nodded and started to open the box, and that was when she saw that it was a well-known phone brand."Ben, this is..." She was lost for words."Do you like it?""Yes, this is the latest product out by this company, it's expensive..." She gave reasons with her reply, showing how much she appreciated it."I'm glad you like it." He was. The room went silent for some minutes as he watched her read the pieces of information written on the packet of the phone. She paused and looked up from what she was doing; she just remembered something she wanted to ask him."Ben, that day...the day before I was taken, I called you repeatedly and you didn't take your calls, why didn't you?" "You called?""Yes, I thought you were mad at me; I thou
Still holding her well against the wall, Ben took his phone out. The caller better be either his mother or Jenna, and it better be something urgent, or else the person would give him good reasons why he or she was having his phone disturbed that way.He looked at the screen to see who it was, it was his assistant, unfortunately for her. "Good morning sir, I'm just calling to remind you of the scheduled meeting you will be having with the representatives of the Dana corporation this morning." Belle heard a female voice inform Ben of a meeting."Cancel it," Ben said, about to end the call after but heard his assistant again."Uhm, sir...they are already here and waiting for you,""Do what I asked you to." He ended the call."Why did you do that?" Belle had to ask him."..." She didn't let him answer before asking a new question."I heard your assistant say that people are waiting for you and you just canceled? Is this because of me?""Who else?" He kissed her after her last question.
Ben was accompanied by some of the same officers who followed him to the interrogation room the last time he was at the station.The door was opened and Ben went in first, a smile hanging on his lips the moment he saw someone else other than Tiger in the room."You found him," Ben remarked, turning back to the officers, his smile still there."It wasn't easy but it was your order after all." One of the officers insinuated that they knew he wouldn't be pleased if Crow wasn't found."Crow," Ben called when he turned back to the two men chained to the same table. His smile didn't disappear, not that he was generally happy to see Crow there too but he enjoyed the fear he saw on Crow's face when he entered. He knew Crow was not as prideful and courageous as Tiger was."You know why you are here right?" Ben went closer to the table and took a seat opposite them."Tiger was fully in charge of the operation, not me." Crow thought he should inform Ben about that. Tiger gave him an angry stare
The video stopped and it was automatically deleted. Ben picked up his phone and made a call."Why did you send that?" Ben asked, his voice showing annoyance, he thought either of them, Tiger or Crow finally gave him the name he wanted."He wasn't lying with what he told you, he really doesn't know." The person was referring to Crow.Ben sighed inaudibly."Put him in a separate cell, he has earned it. I want to be the one to brutify him, not Tiger." He said in a low voice before ending the call.He closed the laptop and left it by the bedside table, sitting back on the bed to think when he felt Belle's touch.It was her hands first, she rubbed on his bare shoulder slowly before, kissing his ears. He smiled. Her hands went fr his shoulders to his chest, and she played her hands across his skin, caressing him inch by inch.Her hands were about to go to his belt area when he held them. Pulling her from beside him to on top of him, he heard her giggle.His hands recognizably circled her sm
