"Thank you sir for your effort," Marcel shook the hand of the Chief of police after they were done with their conversation."No, it's alright. You've contributed immensely to our bureau and all we can do is to help out now you need us the most. We would put out an APB on the target and procure your family heirloom as soon as we can," the chief promised him."Oh, thank you, Sir," Marcel shook his hand humbly, "And to appreciate you for your hard work, please receive this," He gestured and one of the men stepped forward to drop a briefcase in front of him.The Chief of police appeared to be shocked, however, the greed in his eyes could not be hidden as he stared down at the case that obviously contained money. He calculated mentally how much was in there before turning to Marcel with a hesitant look."Seriously, you shouldn't have bothered. You have done enough for us already and yet, here you are spending more. It's really unnecessary," The man said, yet looked at the briefcase with lo
Marcel had a stoic expression on his face as he walked into his father's place. Although he looked straight ahead, his peripheral views did all the work for him.He observed and mesmerized every turn and doors, noticing the newest alteration made to the house. Although Daniel was his father, Marcel had never for once slept over at his place. This city was not the place he grew up in, so there was no lingering feeling or attachment to the house. Moreover, the old man would never stay in a place contaminated by his mother's presence. However, there was another reason Marcel was interested in this place. His sister must be hidden here somewhere, he just had to find out where and come up with a plan to bust her out. Sadly, his father knew that was exactly what he would do, hence he made sure to keep her further away from him.Chloe, Marcel's younger sister was not biologically related to him however, she was the closest thing to a family that he had left. His mother Penelope, was unable
Arianna woke up with a wince, her body hurt like hell as if she had been tossed around like a bag of potatoes. But that was the least of her problems because right now she couldn't see a thing and that was only because she was hooded.She turned left and right, struggling to pull herself free all to no avail because her hands were cuffed behind her back. It was dark and hot inside her hood, Arianna feared she might suffocate before they came to her aid."Let me out of here!" Arianna screamed muffledly. This was not the way to treat a lady. It was highly inappropriate!Anyway, her prayers must have been given attention to because she heard the sound of approaching footsteps and calmed down immediately knowing they would free her.As Arianna thought, the bag was pulled away and she had to squint her eyes against the sudden sunlight that threatened to blind her.When she was able to see clearly, Arianna looked up only to discover a blonde-haired woman with an intimidating aura standing r
Elijah couldn't relax after hearing the news of Arianna's capture. So the instant he came outside, he called a taxi to take him back since Macy left with his ride. He could have called his men to drive another car over, but there was no time nor could he take one of his father's. He'd rather die than do that. Unfortunately, the driver of the taxi drove so slow Marcel began to get fidgety on his seat. Macy was not answering his call nor could he get through to Victor. Well, he wasn't too surprised with Victor's unavailability - he must be buried deep in a v@gina right now."Can you drive any faster?!" Marcel grumbled, annoyed at the fact he was wasting the little time he had left."This is the fastest I can go without violating the speed limit," the driver shot back. What kind of customer has he stumbled upon this time? He was beginning to get vexed.Marcel sat back in his seat yet he was not comfortable. He didn't have much time, so he had to take another drastic step. He would deal
Arianna was awoken from her sleep by a continuous lick on her face. What the hell?One of her eyes first opened before the other and she glanced up, only to see that it was no other than a cute-looking snow-white chihuahua licking her face."Gosh," Arianna was vexed a bit, she had been having a good dream when it woke her. In that dream, she was with Elijah and they actually had a life together. By having a life together, Arianna meant they had kids - two kids actually, a boy and a girl - and lived happily before the dog decided to lick her back to reality. And reality sucks."Where did you come from?" Arianna muttered, pulling the dog from her face. The last thing she remembered was asking about Redhead before losing consciousness. And right now, she was attached by wires to a recording monitor alongside an Iv drip. Who knew he cared so much for her life? His people didn't. Arianna found the tag necklace and read, "Redhead?" "Huh?" Her brows were furrowed. Wait a minute, does
All smiles disappeared from Marcel's face as soon as he left Arianna. Although he had been smiling all this while, the truth was that all wasn't well.His cousin Victor was upon him as soon as he came into the room."How is she?" He asked."Alive and sassy," Marcel said."She still has the guts to be impudent after what she caused?" Victor sneered."She didn't ask to be tortured," Marcel retorted."And you're still defending her? Unbelievable," Victor huffed, shaking his head in disbelief before turning to face him, "You killed three of our men because of her and left the gang in total unrest,""They disobeyed my orders, no one had the right to lay a hand on her without my calling," Marcel stood his ground."You heard Macy, she was only interrogating her. Moreover, this wasn't the first time she got information from a target on your behalf. So what's different about this one? And please don't tell me you're so taken by this girl that you killed three of our own for her, " Victor asked
Arianna didn't know whether to be angry or scared, however, by the time she had pulled out the wires in her body, she was, fucking mad.How dare he treat her like she was a child? She was a woman with god damn rights and if he was so angry about her stealing his wallet, he should send her to prison to pay for her crimes.But he did say they won't be spending much time together, could it be he would be sending her to prison then? No, it didn't make sense else he would have just imprisoned her in the first place than bringing her here. Moreover, that would not solve his Elijah problem.It was some other place and each passing moment she was left in the dark made her slowly lose her mind. Arianna was so used to having control of her life that living at the mercy of another didn't sit well with her.Even while living with her uncle, she knew what to expect at home and made adequate fortifications. But here? She was left in the dark with no source of light.She needed Marcel. No, she neede
His blood ran cold.Whatever else Victor said, Marcel didn't hear any of it because he hurried over to the window and looked down. One couldn't imagine the relief that went through him when all he saw on the ground was the fireplace poker and not Arianna's body.He released a fleeting breath, leaning against the wall while his hand came to press on his forehead. Now he wasn't panicking, it came to his mind that the window in his room had bars while the veranda door was sealed meaning that Arianna couldn't get access to the outside.But then, what the hell was she doing? She smashed his window with a fire poker for christ's sake.At once, Marcel pushed off the wall, planning to go check up on what she was doing only for Victor to block his path."You don't have to go there. I'm sure she just wants to get your attention," Victor said to him in a hurry, seeing that Marcel was not slowing down anytime soon."Out of the way, Victor," Marcel sidestepped him as if he wasn't there in the firs
