“Don’t worry, I would just keep them with me for a while” Zack said to the lady on call with him as he stared at the two unconscious ladies in front of him in a not-too-dark and empty room. He sat on a chair far away from them. “What do you mean two ladies? Anya asked Zack with confusion in her voice, she wanted to torture only Hazel and who was the other lady with her? Zack responded “Our target was with another lady and it looked like she cared a lot for her so we used her to get Hazel but I can't let her go that way” Anya paced around the room and wondered who the other lady was, her informant didn't tell her anything about a lady. “Uhmm, are you sure it won't ruin things? Zack replied “I don't think so and are you sure this Hazel girl is Zack’s weakness? It doesn't seem like he cares about her” Anya smiled, she was with her husband when she called and as predicted, Zeus discarded his wife’s call. Her plan went well indeed. “I don't need him to care, I just want her to leave
It’s been hours since Anya left Zeus alone in the company, after their lovemaking. Zeus slept for a while and woke up to continue his activities when he remembered receiving Hazel’s call hours back. He wondered why she called him, he was not stopping her from shopping and she had her money or could rather use his money. It’s not the first time anyway, even when they were just friends. He took his phone and dialed her number, and it just kept on ringing. He called multiple times and it was still the same thing. Zeus was about to give up when he thought that she could be in trouble again. “Mark, is Hazel back? Zeus said immediately as he called his friend to ask about his wife. Mark was napping when he got his friend's call and it dawned upon him also that it’s been so many hours since they left the house. Mark responded while rubbing his eyes “I don’t think so, it’s been hours though” “I couldn’t pick up her call hours back and she’s not picking up now” Zeus lamented. Mark sat up
Zeus arrived at the entrance of the town where he could see a signboard indicating “Maki town”. He sighed deeply as he reminisced about when he first came to Italy to start a new life, he witnessed almost all the war that happened in Maki town with Mark beside him. The war was the biggest one at that time and since he and Mark were able to escape successfully, he never heard about people living there anymore. The only narrative going around was that people used the town to commit crimes which was not at any time proven. Zeus sat in his car for minutes waiting for Mark but he was getting impatient, what if something happened to Hazel? Would he be able to forgive himself? As he got out of the car, Mark’s car appeared at speed behind his car.“Bro, I got caught up in traffic,” Mark said immediately after he got out of his car without parking his car well. He stared at his friend’s anxious face and could understand him. It wouldn't be a nice thing to him if he lost his sister-in-law and
The room went silent as a grave after the gunshot. Their eyes almost bugging out except for Zeus, he smirked and walked close to Zack whose leg was whooshing out with blood. Zeus removed Hazel from his grasp and that was when everyone knew what was going on. Zack fell on his knees as he tried to quickly tighten his shirt around his wounded leg. “Mark, take Hazel and Chloe to the car,” Zeus said with an extremely cold voice without sparing them a glance. Mark did as he was told and led both ladies outside with the armed men. “Will Zeus be fine? Hazel asked Mark with a low voice, she was too weak to even walk by herself. Mark shook his head unbelievably, what kind of love does Hazel have for Zeus? “He will be fine, Hazel” Mark responded and supported her to walk out of the town. Chloe on the other hand, could not fathom how happy she was when she realised Zack was not after her. She genuinely prefers to suffer with Hazel and have her man save them than for her to go back to that mons
Zeus carried Hazel into her room and found out that she was having a high temperature. He placed her on the bed and removed her shoes and clothes, revealing her body and underwear. He couldn't blame her for being that exhausted after getting kidnapped, her parents were rich and she had never been in any slight discomfort. Zeus wouldn't have been that tough if he stayed under his parents for so long, he experienced all the tough lifestyles when he got to Italy. “Hazel” Zeus called out gently while tapping her cheeks to leave her awake. “Hmmm” Hazel groaned weakly, she was enjoying the attention from him though. She wished in her stomach not to get better for a while. Zeus supported her body and led her into the bathroom to have her bath, he made her sit on a small stand at the corner of the bathroom and prepared her bath. He knew how warm Hazel loved her water and the bath gel she used so he prepared the bath properly. When Zeus was done, he went ahead and carried Hazel into the bath
Anya’s house Anya sat on her bed inside her room with her eyes red as she had been faking her tears for hours before she abruptly called Zeus. After she left Zeus in the office earlier that day, she received Zack’s call and she was glad her plan went well. She just wanted to teach Hazel some lessons and make her leave Zeus alone. Maybe she would leave after getting kidnapped or poisoned because of her husband’s enemies. Hazel was not obstructing her but she wanted that space. She thought everything was going well not until Zack called her a few hours back and informed her about everything. Zack had never been that angry at her. Her eyes almost bugged out of shock when Zack told her he was no longer interested in working with her because her selfish reasons were slowing him down. But after Anya reminded him of their deal from the onset, Zack calmed down and let the matter go. But then why did she call Zeus in the middle of the night? Anya had been feeling anxious since Zack told her
“Alright, talk now. The suspense is killing” Mark lamented again earning a stern look from her. Hazel cleared her throat and wiped her eyes “Zack left me alone for Anya in the middle of something” Chloe and Mark looked at her in confusion, what was she talking about? “Can you be more clear, Hazel? Chloe spoke up with her gentle voice that can make hearts melt. Hazel hung her head low in embarrassment, she didn't know how to tell them in detail“Uhmmm, we were having our time and Anya called him. Crying suddenly and told Zeus to rush over” Mark opened his mouth slightly. He remembered seeing Zeus rushing out of the house and he couldn't even ask where he was going. So it happened to be Anya’s place. Chloe spoke up while patting Hazel’s hair “Maybe she got in trouble” “I'm not sure about that, she is cunning and might just be lying to get him over to her place” Mark responded nonchalantly, he was trying his best to spill too much and involve himself. “That was exactly what I thou
It's been about an hour since Zeus and Mark boarded their flight and there has been whole silence as the both of them were focused on one thing or the other. Zeus had been focused on his laptop, reviewing the new designs when he remembered Anya would be having her photoshoot that day. He hoped she could do it properly and if not, he would look for another person. Zeus took his business over anything. Mark, on the other hand, was on his phone. Engaging in his activities and getting new information through chats. He furrowed his eyebrows and spoke up suddenly “Zeus, I don't know I'm getting bad feelings about this trip”Zeus raised his head and slightly opened his mouth in confusion. “What are you talking about? Don't tell me you are anxious” Mark shook his head but let it go, he didn't want to jinx their trip. “Have been wanting to ask you, why did you suddenly change our plan.Zeus dropped his laptop and focused on his friend. “I thought you would never ask” Mark responded “Are you
