A car suddenly stopped in front of an old warehouse. It was already dark at night, so the environment could not be seen clearly as the shadow of the night has fallen upon the earth.
Bethany came out of the car. She was dressed in a black dress with a hoodie and a mask covering her face, her fair skin was hidden underneath the black clothes.
Jacob came down as well and walked over to meet Bethany as he wanted her to take the next step. In the next splitting second, Bethany raised her head to look at the warehouse building in front of her before she started walking. Then, Jacob trailed after her with AirPods fixed in his ears as he waited for any information that might come in.
After walking into the building, a man soon appeared from one of the rooms as he sped up to meet up with Bethany.
“This way ma'am, he's in the center hall,” Darin said as he beckoned Bethany to walk in the direction that he was pointing.
“What did he say? Did he reveal the identity of the person who sent them already?” Bethany asked with her eyes fixed on the road.
“He has refused to say a word even after we've used all methods for him. He's so secretive and it seems like he's very scared of his boss” Darin replied.
While they were talking, they soon arrived in a room filled with several other boys. While a man was tied to a chair with a good enclosed over his mouth tightly.
Upon seeing them entering the room, his brows quickly rose and his expression went wide with shock as well as fear.
“Did I hear that right?” Bethany asked immediately as she laid her eyes on the scarred man.“did I just hear that you are so scared of your boss, and you aren't willing to say a word?”.
“Wh-who....who are you? Why are you keeping me locked up in this place?” The man seemed to have summoned enough courage as he went ahead to ask. Even though fear was visible in his chest, he tried to suppress them and leaped.
“Wow. Looks like you've got some guts over there. I heard you are very scared of your master, I just wanted you to decide this, who will you be scared of at this time, your boss or me?” Bethany asked as she suddenly grab hold of a dagger.
“Who are you? I haven't done anything wrong, why are you guys keeping me locked in here? Please let me go, my wife is pregnant!”.
Hearing this, Bethany was suddenly reminded of her tragic end at the time. However, she pretended not to be so concerned as she bent over with her masked face lower than the man.
“I'll give you three more chances. You only have three chances to save yourself from my wrath and anger. If you fail to provide who had asked you to lay an ambush on that woman, then I would be forced to punish your pregnant wife and little kid along with you.”
Hearing this, the man widens his eyes once again.
“And if you decided to be a good bit and do the right. I'll keep you and your family safe from their reach. It's up to you to decide whether or not you want to live with your family ”.
Bethany said these words in a calm voice. However, listening to her and the aura that surrounds her makes it seems as though she was making a threat. The expression on her face was normal–it wasn't cold or was it warm?
Due to this, the man was suddenly reminded of the fact that she might not be joking about her threats at all. So, he began quivering at the countdown.
“One! two! h is your last chance and it seems like you wanna die instead ”.
After saying this, Jacob cocked the gun ready to fire the first bullet. Bethany gave him a sign before she continued with the countdown.
“Two! Thre...”
“Miss Joanna!”
Before Bethany could finish her count down, the man suddenly shouted out of the blue, cutting her shut. He looked very scared.
“Joanna Meyer asked us to hurt her so that she wouldn't be able to come back to work in the future. I promise we were just carrying out orders. Please forgive me ” he pleaded with tears almost streaming down his cheeks as he was afraid that he would end up getting killed after this.
“I was just trying to make some money to care for my family, I'm sorry. Please don't kill me, my family has no one else to look after them”.
“Why didn't you think of this matter before getting involved in crimes?” Jacob asked. He stood right at the side, waiting to punch the man in the face. However, looking at Bethany right, it doesn't seem like she was in the mood for violence.
“Where does your family live? Take him back to his house”
Bethany instructed. As soon as the man heard this, he was perturbed. He began panicking at this point, he thought that they were going to kill him along with his family.
“Please, don't hurt them. Kill me instead”.
“Take him back and make arrangements to help them leave the country in the 24 hours,” Bethany said without batting an eye. Her instruction was directed at Darin, who looked at her with so much surprise.
“But boss, he almost kills.......”
“Just do as I say and don't worry about the rest. He, not his family should get hurt. Protect them with your strengths and senses”.
“Thank you, boss, thank you, boss! I won't forget this” The man wailed profusely seeing that Bethany wasn't going to hurt him at all. Not only, but she also asked to have him and his family sent out of the country for their safety.
With that, the rope on him was loosened and he was immediately out of the warehouse.
When almost everyone was gone out, Bethany and Jacob were the only ones left in the room.
He pondered for a while before daring to say a few words.
“Don't mind me saying this boss, but I think something should be done about Joanna Meyer. I think she's going to be a very big hurdle in the future if we let her fly like a free bird”.
“You're right about that but we can't focus our time on her. She's irrelevant to the plan, she might ruin things”.
“Are we just going to allow her to bully you like this forever?” Jacob was pissed but he didn't dare to go overboard with his anger.
When he had witnessed how brutal those goons had attacked Bethany that day, he couldn't bring himself to think of any good happening to Joanna if she had the chance to deal with her.
“Just let her for now. She'll get a chance of her own in the future, I've got some plans for her. , but not right now”.
“Alright, boss, I'll take you back home. It's very late at night ”.
“Come on”
The next morning, Danica woke up very early. Immediately after she finished with her shower, she took off and sped to a cafe a little far away from the estate.
She looked very anxious about what she might find out about the woman, who had double-crossed her at the auction as well as the KFC.
Under an open-air cafe in the center of the city mall, a young man was sitting on a chair close to the center with his back turned toward the entrance to the cafe as he kept looking around. He looked like was waiting for someone else.
He took off her sunglasses to have a better view of the place.
Just then, he caught sight of another figure walking into the place and looking around as well.
When Kelvin saw this sight, he quickly beckoned the woman to come to his table. The woman quickly change her steps as soon as she saw the sign given by the young man.
“What took you so long, Danica? Why did you come so late?”He asked as soon as the woman was seated on a chair close to him. He was dismayed by the woman's late coming.
Removing her sunglasses, Danica replied.“I was caught with something at home, so I couldn't come earlier as scheduled” She replied wearing a smile.
“What could be so important that you couldn't come on time? What could it be that made you come so late, do you know how long I've waited?” Kelvin was infuriated as he thought that something might have gone wrong with Danica as she couldn't come earlier.
Danica simply dropped her bag on a chair nearly before she replied in a gentle voice.“I couldn't come on time because I heard that Zayn was coming over to the house today so I decided to make arrangements for him since I didn't want anything to be lacking and we won't be found wanting” She replied casually as though she was not affected by this.
Hearing this, Kelvin was infuriated as he yelled out.“What did you just say, Danica? Say is coming over to the house? How did that happen? Why would you let him come close to the house?” he yelled without restraint as she was completely vexed.
His voice was so loud that other people in the restaurant could hear what they are talking about as they kept stealing glances in their direction wondering why he was yelling so loud.
Kelvin didn't care either.
Feeling embarrassed, Danica quickly took the young man's hands into hers as she caressed them gently while looking into his eyes.“You should speak softly, Kelvin. Other people could hear your voice, you're so loud without restraints”.
He quickly yanked her hands away from her grip as he was not in the mood to be cajoled into being quiet.
Looking at her with glaring anger, he continued.
“What did you find out? " Danica asked in a calm voice. She looked very calm and different from the person, she usually was.
He simply handed over the information file to her. When Kelvin looked at the photos of the woman that he managed to obtain, he looked at Danica with curiosity.
“Danica, what have you got to do with a disfigured woman? She isn't even that beautiful ”. He said with a sarcastic tone.
After Danica heard that, her hands froze as they were trying to flip open the documents.
“I suggest you leave!”
Kelvin did not ask any more questions as he simply got up and left in large strides. He seemed very upset.
Danica flipped through the documents quickly, and the information on them was simple.
Alvira Duncan was from M city. She grew up in M city and had never come to Orange city before. she had studied business and had a lot of interesting things on her plate.
Her face got disfigured during a fire outbreak in M city, it was so bad that she had to wear a veil and glasses all the time–it was a very shocking and hard fact for the young woman, who was very fond of her innocent face.
There was close to zero information about her social life.
Danica was bored reading this and she wanted to fling the file away. just then, her eyes fell on this little piece of information.
It was simply stated that she a make friends.
Her boyfriend!!.
