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 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 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 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 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 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 83After Saul sorted everything out, he walked to the bed. Sophia was soundly sleeping. He took the place beside her and slipped under the blanket. “You almost brought me a heart attack with that look you gave me several minutes ago.” Sophia muttered keeping her eyes closed.“Aren’t you asleep Sophia?”She shook her head, bringing her head to rest on his chest. Her hand went around his waist as she snuggled deeper into him.“What do you mean?” Saul asked, looking down towards her.“I thought you met Greg. I don't know why but my sixth sense predicts that somewhere he is alive and he is watching o
Chapter 84“Wait sir. This guy needs a few more minutes. Let us find out about that doctor before we finish him.” Van Austin intervened.“Prompt advice.” Saul appreciated Van and looked at Liam for answers.“I just wanted to develop fights between you and Sophia. That's all. In order to do that I need proof that Greg is alive. I brought a dead man alive with that fake certificate. Paying ten thousand dollars to that doctor, I got my work done. I told Sophia you blackmailed Greg and put him away from her. Greg is her first love and I know Sophia did not forget him despite being married to you. In this way both of you will keep fighting, you will not have peace at home and maybe one day she will divorce you.” Liam stated his vicious in
Chapter 85Saul immediately pushed Sophia under the table and studied her body for any injuries. Thankfully she was not shot. Then he looked at himself. He did not find any pain or bruises anywhere. From where did he hear the gunshot?Just then a gang of men stepped in looking for someone. When they found the required person missing, they walked away. Thankfully there were zero casualties. The scream earlier heard was from a woman who feared the sound of the gunshot. There was no blast unlike he thought. However Saul was bothered about the sudden alarm that rose chaos in his restaurant.It was one of those fancy eateries that he owned. The holocaust could spoil his reputation. Thus Saul’s security service immediately followed the men to find out the reason behind the g
Chapter 94The bullet struck the left side of his chest. Luckily he has a dextrocardia. According to medical terminology, it is the condition where the subject’s heart points to the right of the chest instead of his left.As against Sherlock’s expectation that he would be killed on the spot, Saul not only came out of his hiding place and also shot him on his arm. As a result, the pistol he held fell on the floor. Sherlock looked at him stunned as if he was a devil from the Netherworld. Saul made a timely decision. Every added moment that the former lived was a risk to Sophia. Saul could not think of a better time to kill him. While Sherlock was still under the stupor on how Saul was still alive, he shot him point blank to see him dead instantly.After he confirmed Sherlock lost his life, Saul breathed at ease and succumbed to the floor. There was a heavy blood loss because two bullets were punched in his chest. The last thought before Saul welcomed the dark world was Sophia is safe. N

Chapter 93“Sir” the guard spoke on the phone. “I am sorry to disturb you at this late hour. But the intensity of the situation demanded it. There was an old woman passing through the gates of our estate. She was handicapped and was using a stick to walk.”“And? What am I to do with her handicap? Why are you narrating children’s stories by waking me in the middle of the night?” Saul was about to blow the fuse in temper. His derring-do bass voice struck a chord in the guard’s throat.“She gave me a letter.” He shivered stating the reason. It felt bizarre for someone passing by to hand over a fictitious letter to me. Suspecting it to be a bomb or something dangerous, we called for a diffuser and got it opened. I
Chapter 91They heard a tweaking sound. His legs gave up and Lawrence fell on the chair behind him. His eyes got closed off and hands shivered. “Aah”Saul immediately went and held his hand. “What happened to you?”“I feel this sort of dizziness very often these days. The doctor told me my hemoglobin is low but I do not feel like eating anything. Every day I'm given the same bland diet that doesn't have any spice or salt. I do not like it. So I eat less. And this is the result of that.” He spoke weakly, keeping his eyes closed.“But you ate well this afternoon? Why don’t you take some iron capsules? Are you a baby fussing for your favourite food? Saul asked him.
Chapter 92“What are you doing? Do you want to prepare your enemy for your attack so that he can skillfully counter you in future with his army of men? Don’t ever underestimate the power of your enemy. That will be called over confidence and it can lead you to a very big danger. Stay quiet. Speech is silver but silence is golden.” Lawrence instructed Saul before his voice could reach the recipient and cut off the call.“Nice thought. But how will I know the name of my enemy if I don't speak to him?” Saul spoke angrily.“I did not think you could be so stupid after staying so many years in the mafia. Get your PI into work, to track this number.” He pointed to the phone. “You will get the location along with the name of the calle
Chapter 90“Water is the life of a fish. You remove the water, the fish is as such dead. You are the water and she is the fish. It's like two birds in one shot.” Lawrence voiced with introspection.“Jesus! Is this guy a man eater? What is your story with Mariya?” Saul moved forward with hands on his knees and looked at him with complete attention.“Mariya was like a sister to me.” Lawrence stated as a matter of fact. But his truth made Saul choke on his own spit.“You give earth shattering surprises with the least emotion.” He spoke between his coughs. “Your life is full of complexities as big as a daily soap series.” He spoke with absolute wrat
Chapter 89“You're Saul Campbell alias Greg Warner. I know. Do you think I will marry my daughter to an alien about whom I do not have any information? Sophia is my life and my daughter. I did a complete background check upon you before marrying her to you. Like I told you earlier, you did not choose her. Before that I chose you as her groom.” He said proudly.Saul was dumbfounded with the information. He did not know to treat it as a compliment or insult. “Do not keep beating around the same point, that you chose me for her.” He said irritatedly massaging his forehead with his forefingers.“Why, your ego got hurt? You thought you were the only most intelligent man born on earth? Everyone has got their own smartness. But some brag about it while
Chapter 88“Yes Mariya was pregnant when I married her. I knew about it and agreed to our wedding. Sophia is not my daughter but I'm still her father because I brought her up with these hands and filled the gap of her mother too since she was six. I vouched to be her protector till my last breath. To keep her safe, I manipulated her birth records because there is someone very vicious behind her life.” Lawrence finally told Saul the truth.“Who is behind Sophia’s life?” Saul rose up from his seat in a hint of fury.Lawrence replied as stoically as possible. “Someone whose sinning velocity you can’t estimate.”“What? Come straight. Who is he? Why is he behind her l
Chapter 87“Fuck! How old is Sophia exactly? I need the complete birth details of her?"Van looked at his boss baffled. It was the first time he was hearing softness in his tone other than a command. The all-power mafia leader who only dominated people 24/7 has a gentle and caring side too. It was a discovery to Van."Sure sir, in a while. Ten minutes later he walked back with a slip. "Sophia Brown was born on 21st February 2000 at 5:30pm at Red Cross Hospital Zurich."Saul choked as soon as he heard the information. That means the date of birth details that were submitted at the university when they joined London school of Business were wrong. Why did Lawrence duplicate the birth details of Sophia? Some
