CARDY'S POVI was anxious as I hid behind the flowers, sweating in the cold weather. "OMG, OMG!" I whispered to myself as I saw them arguing amongst them. That was my first time to see Elliot so vulnerable and loyal to someone. I wondered what he got himself into. "Coward!" One of the men pushed Elliot, and he tried to regain control but fell on the floor. "Haha, haha, weak vessel." They mockingly laughed at him. I watched them argue, Elliot got into his car and didn't allow them to go with him. I became more afraid because there were no cabs within the hotel at that time. Stocked and didn't know what to do. I prayed that they see the cab so that my mind can be at rest and I will move away. My only luck was they didn't track my phone at that spot because I knew it was only through tracking that they were able to get my location. My hand trembled, sweat slowly dropping into my eyes as I tried to open my phone so that I would destroy the SIM. I tried to encourage myself to stay stro
ELLIOT'S POVSoaked in the bathtub, thinking of what life had to offer, thinking about the essence of life, how lonely life and the pain of losing someone I love. If I should go after her for love, then my life would be in a big risk, I have already done a lot of harm to her and I don't even know what her mental health might be at the moment. 48 hours given to me was already elapsing, but what could I do, oh my quest for money! I dripped out of the bathtub, I rushed to dry up my wet, dripping body so that I could meet up with Elrod and his men. I only called him to tell him that Cardy escaped, but didn't tell her how she managed to escape. I got to the almighty hall, another of judgement. This time, I had something to defend myself, only if they were going to accept it without blaming me. "You must be joking, you must really be insane. What do you mean by she escaped? Who informed her that you guys were going to the hotel?" His voice like thunder and fire as Elrod asked after telli
CARDY'S POVNow it's peace over wealth. Everything that we took the risk for, is it worth it? Where to start, where to be and how to hide my head from the bullets of the enemies were something very hard for me to do. Yes! I am in a new city now, but won't they find me? Fear became my best friend. But at that moment, depression or self blame wasn't in the list of what I should do. I have to make sure my father is alive, how do I do that?Who do I call and tell them about my story and get help? If I become depressed, my father might end up dying and I will die too. Yes! Some things around us might be an obstacle, an agent of death sent to destroy someone. But being depressed is a choice, it's you giving room for the agent to penetrate and win you. I am a fighter and I will fight to save my father and his legacy. I can't compare my physical strength to whomever they might be, but I will do it. All I had to focus on was finding out where my father is, who kidnapped him and what they wan
CARDY'S POVI couldn't move out because I was so ashamed. Goosebumps all over my body. But, does it matter? He only saw it but didn't touch me, and he can't either. Though he was cute, I considered him an idiot for doing something very stupid. Even as I left there, I dressed up and watched him stand there without looking away. "I wish I could just shout at him to leave that place." I said in my mind. Someone came out, it was a girl but dressed as a nanny. Maybe she is his nanny, that means he must have had a lot to do with her since he can stay from his apartment and watch me in my bathroom, talk more of whom he shares the same space with. The girl slowly held his hand. "Perhaps they want to perform a romantic show. Nonsense!" I sighed and turned to leave, but my eyes cut something. The girl held his hand and helped him to move. Is he blind? Possibly, or he was involved in an accident. I couldn't stop blaming myself for accusing him falsely. But why blame myself when I haven't co
ELLIOT'S POV"Boss, from the information we gathered, it seems like she is no longer in this city." One of my boys reviewed it. If that is true, this game is tougher than I thought. I paced around, thinking of what to do. I have got enough men that would work with me and find Cardy. Everyone needed is in the team. I can't even say I am still looking for Cardy because of that evil man. I love her, I want to be with her. How did I even let such a wonderful gift that came to me in disguise slip away?"How did you know that?" I asked him, he smiled and moved forward. "Sir, you employed me for this job because I can do it. And I am doing my job, boss." He boosted, but I didn't have anything to say to him. Of course, he is doing his job. He cleared his throat and continued, "A friend of mine told me he has seen the face once. She booked a ride from their company, and he was the driver that drove her to a certain city." I was kinda relieved at that point because everything has become ea
ELLIOT'S POVOh! Just as I predicted. He worked up to me majestically with anger eating up his expression. "My boys and I are not working for your selfish desires any more. Fuck you! Fuck your crazy evil boss!" He said angrily and hit me on the chest. If I should retaliate, that might be the last day I will be in existence. They called for their driver, I couldn't leave until their car arrived and they left. One thing that I was grateful for, they came with me. If not, I don't know how to start explaining myself to them. I felt so bad and used at that moment, but did I have an option? No!I have to hit the ground running till I find Cardy and keep her safe from all this shits happening. But my movement will be after I clean myself up from the blood stains. I got home and soaked myself in the bathtub with warm water. That was one of my hobbies, a way I used to calm my body, even though it couldn't calm my spirit. The only person that could do that, is nowhere to be found. Even thou
CARDY'S POVStaying with my blind neighbour has been great fun. His kind words, sense of humour, only that he couldn't see my face and practise his words. I still wondered why a rich, handsome man like him would be blind. I want to ask him, but how do I go about that? Would he even answer me? Maybe it might get him annoyed, so I prefer to leave things the way they are if my mouth allows me. Whenever I am with him, I can't keep quiet, I will start talking and telling him stories. Is that love?I can't tell because everything is happening very fast. But if I should develop feelings, I will quench it unless he confesses first. I can't beg anyone to love me. And he might be of help in search of my father. I believe he has enough money, and he will know people that will help me out. I sat at a corner and observed him, very cute, calm and collected. That was another moment in my life that I have been genuinely happy with any stress. "Oh damn, I haven't had my bath." I stood up and went t
CARDY'S POVThe noise and the chaotic sound of the music made my heart skip girl a moment. He said we were going for dinner but the location, he asked me to drive to, was a club. But I still kept quiet, maybe he has yet to realize his mistake, so I will give him some seconds.The strippers moved from one end to another, wiggling their exotic bodies like a python dance. It was such an interesting sight, but I wasn't feeling safe about it and beside my brain wasn't prepared to come receive such noise. "Eric, what did you observe?" I asked him as I held his shoulder. He smiled. I can't tell if he knows what does smile does to me anytime I see it. I was still waiting for him to say a word to me before scolding him. He slowly continued moving his body till I couldn't hold the silence again. "You told me we are going for dinner. Why did you bring me to this place?" I questioned, his silence piqued my curiosity. The place became more fascinating, but I could feel elements of sexual innue
