Chapter 54
“I will…” Saul looked around for any CCTV and immediately walked out of the location. “He might have installed secret cameras in my house. I will use fake notes instead of original ones and place the money bag beside the Woodlands ice cream parlor. In the meantime you can arrange to take the CCTV footage and we can track the culprit.”
Van Austin’s voice turned mighty cheerful after listening to Saul. “You're fantastic, sir. It is a very nice idea. If it is possible I request you to fly to a remote place and spend at least a week with your wife and family there. In the meantime we will take care of this menace and handover the criminal to you.”
“The crime is committed by that bastard and you want me to act like
Chapter 55“Hello my princess, how are you? Did you forget daddy after marrying Saul? You talk to Dori more than me.” Lawrence complained in mock anger.Sophia giggled like a little girl. “Dori is my friend Daddy, I keep an eye on you through her.”“I am not a little boy that you have to keep an eye on me.” Lawrence defended himself.“I know you're not a little boy. But despite your age sometimes you behave immaturely by hiding your sickness from me. You should know I have got my ways and I keep every minute detail about you starting from what you ate for breakfast to the type of wine you had before dinner. And by the way you had Shiraz Blend 2 pegs instead of one yesterday
Chapter 56“I'm the staff of Holy city hospital but work for Mr…” He stopped abruptly looking at Saul’s eyes which were changing reels.“Never mind. You will get to know him when the time comes. I have many other patients to look after.” He handed him an envelope like it was the former’s death call and left the room before Saul could speak.A series of curses left his lips as he opened the envelope. “Do not play games with me. Because of you yesterday 10,000 innocent people lost their lives. If I start playing, you will be out of your game in no time. I have excelled in the sport you have just made an entry. I will give you one last chance. Tomorrow. 4pm at the same time. Instructions about the venue will rea
Chapter 57Before Ryan could remove the safety lock of the gun and fire on Saul, Carson shot him. Ryan reached the ground with a painful ‘aah’.“Bloody bastard, you try to play games with my son and think I will watch the show with folded arms?” Carson hissed, bending towards Ryan and held his collar.The letter which he tucked in his pocket given earlier by Saul fell down and he read out the contents in unlimited wrath. “You tried to use your smartness by sending fake notes. Don't you love your wife? Next time it will be her chance to die instead of you. You thought only you are the intelligent one here? If Sophia dies it is two birds in one shot. Isn't it? Your life vests in her. I know that, ha ha.” There was sardonicism in the words of
Chapter 58Carson turned back following his eyes but there was nobody. Consequently he heard an ear piercing sound. “Jesus!” Ryan yelled in pain and dropped back on the bed from his sitting position in a pool of blood.Carson ran out of the door to find the person who shot Ryan but there was nobody.After hearing the gun shot the critical care team arrived at Ryan’s room but it was too late. He was no more.Carson ran to Saul’s room worried, thinking of the worst. But thankfully he was safe and sleeping soundly. The breath that he held finally came out relaxed. The extortioner was keeping a close watch on them. When Ryan was on the verge of divulging his name, he killed him. Saul’
Chapter 59“Sophia” Saul yelled and ran towards her immobile form in tears. But it was too late.The cops kept firing on the men in the car but it was of no use. The car fled at the speed of the rocket.“Open the door.” Saul shouted to his men while carrying her bridal style to his car.“Sophia, open your eyes, sweetheart. Look at me.” He cradled her in his arms like a baby and shook her. The driver drove the vehicle at jet speed to the nearest hospital.Sophia’s bleeding form was put on a stretcher and dragged to the emergency room.The doctor
Chapter 60“Who are you? What are you doing in my room? Get out of here.” Sophia snarled at Saul and rang the bell situated beside the bed calling for protection.A soft gasp left out of him in shock. “Sophia, what are you talking about? Don’t you recognize me?” Earth washed away from under his feet. His legs gave up and Saul fell on the chair behind him staring blankly at Sophia.“Can't you understand simple English? I asked you out of my room.” Sophia pointed to the door.That's it! It was the worst that he expected to happen for them. As if he was struck by a live wire, Saul fled to the doctor’s room.&ldqu
Chapter 61“No, I don't think she was. Dr Mary Franklin was in the doctors team who examined her private areas. I think you can confirm it from her.” The young doctor corrected his glasses and spoke concernedly to Saul.Saul did not wait even for a second after he got the reply. Fucking hell, if he had touched her, he will knock him down right at the moment.Saul went to Dr Mary who assured him Sophia wasn't molested. He realized the blackmailer was only trying to boil him with his lies. He visibly relaxed. As he was about to return to Sophia’s room, he got a call from Roger. “Speak”“Sir, we got a clue regarding the vehicle which was used by the goons who shot ma'am.
Chapter 62“What’s going on here? Why are you arguing with the doctor, Lawrence?” Saul walked like a king to rule in strict commanding strides with hands ducked in the pant pockets.“Did I hear right that you're taking Sophia home today?” His question sounded more like a warning than a query.“Yes, you heard him right. I'm taking her home.” Saul spoke sternly and at the same time kept the matter away from Lawrence that he was flying her to Los Angeles. Else he will have more to say than what he is already doing.“Have your mind gone nuts? She had a heart surgery just yesterday. Sophia is my daughter and I can't see her dying right before my eyes. Get the hell out of he
Chapter 82“Greg Warner is still breathing. Why did you hide the truth from me?” Sophia held the collar of Saul transforming to a fire emitting virago. “Did you know he is alive even before our wedding?” Her eyes searched his orbs for answers and she got them clear and loud.“You're a liar, a betrayer and a disloyal partner. I hate you.” She screamed and turned around ready to pack her suitcase and walk out of the house.Only then Saul came back to the present. The awareness dawned on him like an ear tearing thunder. And then his mind started to function again. “Stop there.” He forced a laugh.“What are you doing? Are you going to pack your clothes and leav
Chapter 81“I'm sorry to disturb you at this late hour sir. Mr Liam Colon escaped from the prison cell.” The officer informed Saul.“What? How could you be so negligent? My wife and I already told you how dangerous he could be. He almost raped her without a third person coming to know despite we having such a huge security. Shouldn't you be taking extra care in guarding such a malicious criminal?” The hitherto calm and happy emotions of Saul were replaced by a storm of annoyance.“I'm sorry sir. Mr Liam called for nature's call and went to the washroom. Close by we are having construction work going on using drilling machines. Because of the sound the jailer couldn't hear the breakage of the glass. When he didn’t see him come out of the wa
Chapter 80“We have received this information from a public telephone. I have no idea who called.” The officer walked to Saul, removed the handcuffs and nodded to him as a goodbye.Saul pressed the remote to lock the door and walked to Sophia for a hug. “Relax. We will soon find out who is the root cause of this issue.”Sophia took out her head from his chest and looked up at him. Saul can read her eyes even in his sedation. In the state of sobriety, she is an open book.Those pulchritudinous eyes were filled with desire. She needs him. So did he. But the issue in hand was of pivotal importance. Saul held her neck and pulled her face closer to him to capture her lips. The kiss screamed, desir
Chapter 79“What? How did he escape from the warehouse torture cell? How did the police get to know about all this and how did they enter my private area without my permission? And above all why am I getting to know all this now?” Saul asked Van, going utterly angered.“It is obvious, there is someone who knows about his whereabouts and informed the cops about him. This person also knows you will not allow him to live for long. To grant him life, I think he sent him to a prison cell.” Van stated diplomatically.“Who could know Liam’s whereabouts other than me and my security staff?”“Maybe we have a mole among the security guards themselves?” Van projected his po
Chapter 78“These stones are way back from 2017. How come you collected them from such a long time when you met me just six months ago?” She twirled the stone in her hand back and forth and looked at him for answers.For a couple seconds Saul was blank trying to fetch a suitable reply. And then his eyes twinkled like two eternity jewels dipped in snow. “Because I have the same hobby. We match in several ways that is why we are wife and husband with the best compatibility.”“Is it so?” Sophia went on her tippy toes and kissed his nose with mischief dancing in her almond shaped eyes that were a fire with passion. She bit her lip and her optics gradually brushed down reaching his lips.
Chapter 77“What?” Saul asked before he turned stunned and speechless.After hearing Liam the grip on his phone weakened and the instrument fell from his hands.“Psst, you are such an emotional crested cuckoo. Even after being in the mafia for so many years, you are so pussy whipped. You need to make your heart steel so that you don't get surprised when you hear news like this.” He twisted his lips in mockery. “Come on, sit here, you need to know more.” He tapped the place beside him for Saul.“You asshole, how dare you command my son?” Carson took a step forward gritting his teeth to beat him. But Saul stopped putting his hand forward as an indication. An unsaid conve
Chapter 76“I'm sorry Mr Campbell, you lost your baby in this mishap.” The physician confirmed after checking upon Sophia.“A baby?” Saul asked, holding the hand of Sophia for support. She was his strength in hard times despite lying unconsciously on the bed.“Don’t you know your wife was pregnant?” The doctor asked, giving her an injection.Saul had no words to say. His feet were about to give up as he took a chair and sat on it. “Mr Campbell, are you alright?” The doctor asked with concern as he saw Saul’s face turn colorless in a matter of a few seconds.He could only manage a nod as his speech
Chapter 75Few hours ago“I have a suspicion that Greg is not dead. Saul didn't indulge in giving me any information, but I got the clue from his conversation.” Lawrence spoke to Liam with a grimace.“Have you gone nuts or are you drunk?” How can Greg be alive? The truck driver gave us the proof of the accident. We saw him bleeding in the location. The doctors confirmed he is dead and we buried him with our own hands. How can there be a slip? That bastard is very clever. He was only trying to deviate you from the topic.” Liam spoke to Lawrence in irritation.“I don't think so, there is a missing piece in this jigsaw puzzle. I saw the truth in his eyes. He would have surely d
Chapter 74No sooner did she touch the bouquet, water sprinkled on her face with happy birthday music.“What the…” She looked around and there he was standing after coming out from behind the door. “Liam?” Sophia asked, surprised.“Happy Birthday dear friend. How are you?” He hugged her and kissed her cheek. Sophia went static with his touch. Liam didn't like it but he hid the pain behind a smile.“Sweet Jesus, I was so frightened when I saw nobody around. Where are the bodyguards? How did you come inside the house without any hindrance from the security? She spoke bewildered.“Ms Campbell, don't
