Chapter 5

Gray pov:

She's just ungrateful. I thought girls loved being taken care of. Why is she so full of herself?

I wasn't sure why I couldn't shake her off my head, I didn't want to appear weak and needy, I just kept throwing myself at her hoping she would come to me but the more I tried the more she stayed away.

“I only told you to get Sophia dismissed, why did you post her tapes, how did you even get hold of it,” I asked Theo clenching my fist as I fumed in anger and disappointment.

“ I only wanted to spice things up, I didn't know Lena wasn't going to be okay with it. She's such a sweet girl, I'm sorry. Why would you even scare her off like that, you keep ruining your chances of getting close to her.”Theo replied dropping into the chair across me.

“You should only do what I asked you to do. How's the search going? Any news about their hideout? I asked hoping for good news.

“Not really. His mansion has been empty since yesterday. We saw his men rushing out earlier today but we lost them halfway, they are really up to something, I can smell it”. Theo said looking curious.

“You need to be up and doing, Theo. I am tired of you always coming back here with no tangible news. Gather the boys, we might have a little meeting today. Someone from this firm is working with Leo, I need to know which of those old fools are feeding him with all the information. I will make sure to crash the person so badly.” I growled, my eyes blazing in fury.

The world seems to be conspiring against me.

“Stupid old fools”. I murmured slamming my hands on the desk.

“What the Fvck man!” Theo yelled scrolling through his phone as he stood up.

“What,” I asked clenching my fists.

“Lena has been kidnapped by Leo's men. She was taken from her house not quite long ago. And he said you should come save her alone.” Theo replied looking all worried.

“Fvck!, I shouldn't have exposed her like that to the world and now she's in danger. Everyone around me keeps getting in trouble all because of me but I am done allowing Leo to get away with his evil deed. Send the location. I will go to him right this minute.” I uttered sagging my shoulder.

“You can't go there alone, someone has to go with you. Maybe we can hide while you meet with him, if anything comes up, you can alert us. Please, Gray, don't do this alone. Theo said, with his eyes full of concern.

“Alright then, you can get our men ready. But make sure not to do anything stupid till I call for you.” I bantered warning Theo.

I wasn't sure why Leo would use Lena to get to me, my heart was itching for her after the last time and I wasn't going to lose her.

She reminded me of her, could she be the one? After all these years, I wasn't going to stop searching for her, I had failed her once and I wasn't going to let that happen again.

I promised I was going to stay faithful till I was sure that she was no more, has she been around all this while and I didn't notice, did she come back in human form?

I need to keep Lena closer to me till I'm sure she's not the one have been searching for over ten years.

I got to the location Leo sent and I couldn't find anyone, but only a sign that said” Keep walking.

Leo has always been a coward, he keeps hurting people just to get to me but will never show himself to me.

He was my best friend and a brother, we practically grew up together.

It wasn't my fault that she wanted me, not him. We were supposed to get married the following week when she went missing. Leo had sent me some of her pictures where he had damaged her face, I still pleaded with him to let her go and that I was going to marry her regardless. Later that night he sent a video of him shooting her dead.

I wasn't going to give up, I needed to see her dead body.

“Long time no see my brother”

A voice said from my back and I turned,

A tall dark-skinned man, with blond hair and wider shoulders. Nothing has changed about him, but I don't understand why he kept hiding his face under a mask.

“Leo. I called out.

“You haven't changed, when are you going to stop, when will you get tired of haunting me? You took the only thing that was making sense in my life away and you are not satisfied.” I uttered as my glare flattered.

“Wait! Do you mean she's not Oliv? Why does she look so much like her, everything about her reminds me of the woman I love and you stole her from me. You always outshine me in everything but just this once I begged you to let me shine, and you refused. Leo yelled as his voice echoed.

“I didn't outshine you Leo. Oliv never loved you, you wanted me. We were perfect together, when will you ever understand that”. I replied getting ready for a fight.

“You lie! Loe screamed as he pushed me.

“You've been asking for this,” I sneered, cracking my knuckles.

Leo charged, our fists colliding in a furry of punches. My jab connected with Leo's jaws sending him stumbling back.

The fight raged on, each blow landing with precision.

My foot connected with Leo's stomach, sending him crashing into the dumpster, Leo sprang up, his eyes blazing.

“You will pay for making her break my heart, Leo snarled, landing a solid punch on my face.

I stumbled, my face bleeding, Leo seized the the opening, pinning me to the ground as he brought out a substance trying to inject me but Lena was too quick, she appeared a within room holding a metal,has she landed a heavy metal on his head, and Leo screamed in pain” you will pay, I will make your lives miserable” he yelled running away.

“No! I screamed reaching out to Lena but wasn't too fast as one of Leo's men gunshot landed on Lena.
