All Chapters of 48 Hours: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Arielle's POVI looked around the airport making sure that i was not followed and kept my ticket close to me while dragging my luggage to the check-in counter. I was feeling anxious while being cautious about my surroundings. I didn't want to be caught. Not yet. I have so many things that i want to do in my life. I don't want to be prisoned my whole life. I completed the check-in and finally released the breath i was holding after i settled down in my plane seat and started to relax.Finally! I get to have my freedom even if it was for a while! I decided to take my phone out and switch it on to see the damage i have made in my wake and winced when i saw 50 missed call notifications and 20 messages from my family members. Sigh! I think i need to make an explanation before my Dad and brothers go berserk and turn the world upside down to find me. I dialled my Mom first as i knew that she would be the most worried.It didn't even complete the first ring when she answered "Arielle! Where h

Xander's POVIt was the same girl I met at the lounge. She must have thought that I saved her but it was honestly cause I dont want any violence around my club but whatever floats her boat. "Hi! We meet again!" she said after looking at me with surprise. I could say that she's feeling nervous so I just nodded my head at her and went to sit with the guys."So Arielle" Tyler being the gentlemen always started "is this your first time in Japan?" she just smiled at him and answered with a yes. Hmmmmm seems like the innocent type. Definitely not the kind to hang out with us but I guess since she is family of family there's no choice. I just thought and shrugged it off."You just came to visit our Casey here is it?" Tyler continued with the small talk. At this question I could say that the girl looked a bit uncomfortable. But just before she could answer the question the waitress came to get our orders and everybody ordered except her so we were all looking at her to finish the order so tha

Xander's POVI left the hotel in a haste not wanting to let go of the chance to capture that jerk. When Tyler said that he spotted the guy on our surveillance that was enough for me to gear up and go to the place he was last seen. "Xan, he's about 1 hour drive away from where you are right now so I will keep watching to see where he goes. So don't do anything rash and stay put until I send some back up for you okay. Cause he's not alone""I don't care if he's alone or not Ty, I can take them down. You send back up but until then I am not sitting around and waiting when we finally found him after 2 years."I recalled our conversation before I left the hotel. I know that it's dangerous, but I won't be Xander Arison if I can't take down a few men by myself. Besides, I have been waiting for this day for the past 2 years.I got to the place in 40 minutes and got down from my vehicle to start looking for him. It was a shabby neighborhood with a lot of alleyways and there were quite a lot of

Xander's POVThat woman! argh! she pisses me off! She is a devil in disguise! I saw the soft toy that was plopped on her bed and gave a glare to it before I went and snatched it and started punching with all my frustration. That is when the door suddenly opened and Casey poked her head in."Hey Xan! What are you doing?" she asked me with furrowed brows. I cleared my throat "ehem nothing" I tried to regain my composure and placed the soft toy back on the bed and looked at her and asked boredly "Why?""Ah, A has made dinner for us. Come eat. You need to get some energy in you" she said and left.Did I do something wrong to someone in my past to have to go through this. Ugh. I need to have a word with her about this ridiculous idea. No one can know about this. If not my whole reputation will be tarnished. I put on my best poker face and went out to have dinner. Just as I stepped into the kitchen a great aroma came through my nostrils which made my stomach growling instantly.I didn't loo
