chapter 50

"That's your business!" She spat.
"I will do whatever I can to get you out of here, Sophia. Okay?"
"Whatever"
He stood up and went to kneel down beside her so he would be eye level with her. "You really hate me, huh?" He mused.
"What are you��" He shut her up with his lips.
He ended the kiss quickly and stood up to leave, she hated herself for wanting more of that kiss and loving the taste of his lips.
If it were on different grounds, she would have really loved this sweet guy, but he is her enemy and she can't possibly feel anything like that for him, no way!
"Don't panick, I will make sure to keep my promise" he said and left.
"All that will end when you regain your memory and know who I really am" she talked all to herself as the door closed.

After making sure his kids and wife are safe, he had went to check the scene the police had called him to investigate. The house of a kidnapped man, they said.
He pulled up just in time to watch the fight between Mr Smith's men and another gang he didn't recognize. It was one hell of a fight.
What they are fighting for, he didn't know, but he understood that Mr Mc Millan, the owner of the house has some documents that proves that Mr Smith a criminal.
That was enough information, the only thing is to lay hands on Mr Smith and interrogation will do the job, but he is a wealthy man and can't simply be arrested like that.
He had called the police to come to the scene, but before they arrived, they all have already dispatched.
Fred inspected Mr Mc Millan's room. The police looked around the house and has found nothing as of yet, he suspected there's something strange about the man's bedroom. He kicked the bed and winced.
"We can't find anything here, except the destroyed flowers which really tells there was a fight here and the opening on the wall is also a proof" An officer reported to him.
"Alright. Please, lock everywhere up, especially this bedroom, no one comes in here until I figure something out. And I need people to stay here and secure the property to see when an intruder barges in," Fred ordered.
"Okay, I will do just that" the officer said and left.
Frederick looked around again and followed the man out. He went into his car and was about driving out when a call came to his phone from an unknown number.
"Hello?" A female voice came in from the other end when he picked up the call.
"Yes, who is this?" Fred asked.
"This is Lola, the lady at the slut hotel the other day, you told me to call if I wanted to talk with you, remember?" Miss Lola introduced.
"Oh! Yes, good��" he checked the time from his wristwatch and added, "evening, thanks for calling me"
"Not a problem. I have something that I think might help you, but I can't say it right here. Come to the Mountain side, Mountains Hotel" Miss Lola said.
"Okay, I will come right there immediately" he accepted.
"You have to come alone, room 104" She emphasized.
"I got that. I'm on my way, thank you" Fred cut the call and sped off.
He got there in sixteen minutes and hurriedly inquired about which way to go from the receptionist, the chuby lady showed him and smiled at him even when he was no longer in sight.
He knocked at the door and Cynthia's face appeared. She invited him in and told him to wait for her friend.
"You can drink or smoke if you take any of that" Cynthia offered walking around him.
"No, don't worry, I don't take alcohol and smoking, I stopped long ago after I got married and found out my wife is allergic to smoke" he rejected gently.
"You are married? Wow, she must be a lucky woman" Cynthia started.
"You can say I am the one lucky to have her" He smiled at the thought of Angelina.
"Alright, my friend told me about you, I have little knowledge of Mr Smith's closed case, but I'm afraid because that man is very dreadful, I don't want to die" Cynthia confided.
"Please, I promise you, nobody is ever going to find out about this, or do you plan to tell on us?" He anticipated.
"Mr Smith has a way of discovering things, he has eyes and ears everywhere. The walls can talk, Mr Fred, I am worried about your safety, my friend's�� and myself too" She stuttered.
"Can you trust me? You guys picked this place because you think it is safe, right?" He queried.
"It might be, but someone can easily follow us and��" she trailed off.
Miss Lola came out from the bathroom then, she shook hands with Fred and sat down on the bed. Fred was already seated on the single couch in the room, Cynthia joined her friend on the bed.
"Please, I really need this information. The Williams only daughter's life is endangered by Mr Smith's crimes, that girl might be suffering so much wherever she may be" Fred requested.
"I know. But how can ordinary information prove that he committed those crimes? He has money and he uses it to pull himself out of the law's net" Miss Lola shrugged.
"Leave that to me, just tell me all you know, I will make sure nothing happens to you two" he promised.
"My life is worthless, I thought about it and didn't want to drag Cynthia into this, but she ventured into it on her own because she has been to his house countless times and I think she has gathered more information than me" Miss Lola admitted.
"Yeah, Mr Smith worked for Mr Williams as a Marketer in one of W/R's branches. He was honest then and was able to gain Mr Williams trust. As you already know, the man has no other child except Sophia��"
