CHAPTER 52

Mark's POV
I was already waiting to see who was shot when I saw a lady close to Rosy going down with her body with blood which dawned on me. The main target was Rosy but the lady was on the way.
"Check back to the room right now!" I ordered Alex, who held Rosy who was still in shock and rushed her out of the party while I kept roaming my eyes in search of anything suspicious on someone.
After a few seconds, I sighted a man in a hoodie running out of the hall which I ran after him as he took the route to the parking lot which I caught up with and gave him a punch on the face sending him unconscious.
I dipped my hand inside my trouser and took out my phone to reach out to Jonas.
“Hello Boss!” His voice bloomed out.
“Come to the parking lot immediately and bring along a back up with you.”I ordered and ended the call.
After a couple of minutes he showed up with one of the bodyguards and saw the man laying on the floor unconscious.
“Take him to my hotel room and make sure you’re not caught.” I stated.
“Okay boss.” They responded as I made my way back inside the hotel to check up on Alex and Rosy in their room.
I approached their room and knocked softly on the door but heard Alex’s voice asking who it was.
“It’s me buddy. Open up.”
“Thank god. Are you alright bro?” He questioned the moment he opened up the door.
“I’m fine as you can see. Are you both alright as well?”
“Yes, we are but what was that all about, brother? Who shut the lady?” Rosy asked curiously.
I can’t let her have any doubt about the situation. I have got to cover it up in one way or the other.
“Actually, it was one of the security guards who fired the gun. He thought he saw an unidentified man in our midst but he was wrong and mistook the woman for the person but everything is alright.” I lied but Alex kept staring at me with doubt.
“Wasn’t he thinking or something? How’s the state of the lady?”
“She’s already taken to the hospital while the man is being restrained in police custody.”
“I just hope the lady will be alright?”
“She will be sis. You don’t have to worry.” I assured her but Alex remained mute and kept staring at me like he knew I only made up the lie.
“Can I have a word with you outside for a minute?” He requested all of a sudden.
“Yeah, of course but is everything alright with you?” I inquired, acting like nothing is wrong.
“Everything is all good. I just want to have a word with you, that's all.” He replied with a weary smile and walked out.
“Give us a minute little sis.” I said to Rosy who nodded in response as I strolled out to meet him.
“What’s wrong Alex?”
“Everything is absolutely wrong Mark! You’re keeping me in the dark and I totally hate it. I thought you cared and loved me as your brother yet you’re hiding things away from me.” He yelled with anger.
I haven’t seen him this angry before. I know I have been unfair toward him which I think is about time I tell him what is really going on.
“Calm down Alex. I’ll tell you everything. You see, the thing is your life and that of Rosy is in danger, that's why I have been trying to keep you both safe.” I revealed.
“How and who is after our lives?”
“During my trip in Spain, I found a secret from Charles before killing him. It turned out he takes orders from someone but do you know the surprising thing of all?”
“No, tell me.”
“The man who controls him was the one who hired his men to kill my father and rape Rosy.” I burst out in pain recalling the way my father died and how those inhuman monsters raped Rosy.
“Shit!!!” He cursed out, hitting the wall in frustration.
“Tell me all about the incident till this moment.” He added in anger.
MORNING
Casabella’s POV
The next day Mr and Mrs Williams left back to London after assuring me their personal attorney will handle all my legal issues to reclaim my father’s properties from Andrew.
“Miss Madison, what’s your plan for Andrew and his family?” Norman asked the moment he walked back to the living room.
“Has my luggage been taken to the car?” I responded with a question.
“Yes it is in the car.” He stated.
“Once we arrive at the mansion you will know my plans.” I gave him an answer to his question.
“Okay!” He replied as I took the stairs to my room to get dressed.
***
I walked out of the room fully dressed up in a long red lace gown and a silver heel with my hair packed in a ponytail and a little bit of makeup making me look outstanding.
“Are you ready Norman?” I asked, taking the stairs to find him seated on one of the sofas.
“Yes Miss Madison. I’ve also packed my luggage as well and doubled the bodyguards with us.” He answered and got on his feet.
“Perfect. Let go then. We don’t have much time to waste.” I urged him with a smile as we both made our way outside to see the bodyguards standing and the seven cars ready.
“Good morning Ma’am.” They choired in unison with a little bow.
“Good morning.” I replied and walked over to the fourth car as one of them opened up the door for me while Norman joined at the passenger’ seat with the driver.
“Norman, don’t you think this trip is going to be a fun ride?”
“It sure will.” He answered.
“I just can’t wait to make them pay for everything they made me go through and I won’t stop until they are defeated.” I uttered with so much bitterness.
“It will be alright, Miss Madison.”
“Thank you Norman. You’re really a good adviser. Can I ask you a question?”
“Yes, you can Miss Madison.”
“Well, it's more like advice though. How do you think I should get back at Andrew and Lora especially?”
“I’m not much of an adviser but I do have a suggestion.”
“Then tell me.”
“My suggestion is to take back your rightful possession from them while for Lora, you can make her go through some of the hardship she made you passed through but I don’t suggest you ruin her face. It will only make you like her which I know you are not capable of doing. That’s the suggestion I can say.”
“Perfectly and well said. I see points in what you have just said. At first I was reluctant in getting back at her that way but I had a rethink. It will only make me a bad person which I am not and from your point, you have given me a reason not to punish them in an evil way. Thank you so much for the piece of advice."
"You're most welcome. I'm glad I can be of help to you."
"Your words really mean a lot." I uttered sincerely.
**
One of the bodyguards opened the door as I made my way out of the car and proceeded towards the mansion along with Norman and two other bodyguards trailing behind.
I'm sure Lora will be shocked with my decision and she won't have a choice than to accept it.
I walked inside to see Annie watching a movie in the living room. She probably has no idea what I will do to them one after the other.
"You're back again! What the hell do you want again after being told you can't claim what isn't yours?" She ranted rudely.
I stare at her with a disgusting look and walk over to take a seat totally ignoring her questions.
"What's going on Annie?" Lora uttered from the kitchen and when she didn't get a response, she showed up staring at me with anger and pure evidence of hate on her face.
Once a witch, always a witch. She hasn't changed one bit. I was hoping she would regret her actions but I guess I was wrong.
"It's you again." She growled.
"Yeah and so?"
"Didn't you get what my husband and I told you? This mansion and other properties don't belong to you but my husband which you can't ever claim so what else do you want?"
"I should be asking you that. Your husband stole someone's possession and you still have the confidence to spill out shit. Anyways I'm not here to argue with you, I'm here to see your husband because we have an important issue to discuss."
"What nonsense!" She snapped.
"How about I burst your bubbles. For your information I am going to be staying here because I own this mansion and not even you can do anything about it." I roared with a smirk on my face.
