"This is interesting! You are a stubborn fellow, you and I are the same, I love that, we shall see who gives up!" Mr Smith slapped him lightly on each of his cheeks. "Boys, bring Cynthia here, be fast about it!"
"Ugh, I have an idea, Lee, bring his phone here!" Mr Smith said thoughtfully.
Miss Cynthia was brought to the scene, she was too weak and totally nude. Lee brought Fred's mobile phone and gave it to Mr Smith.
"Twenty missed calls, fifteen from my angel and five from best friend. Seven text messages, all from my angel and a voice mail to go with. Impressive, I get it that your angel is your lovely wedded wife," Mr Smith read from Fred's phone.
"What are you up to? Don't you dare!" Fred shouted.
"Nothing much. I will call your wife��no, I will trace her location with this phone, you know what I mean and you are too learned to know that it is very possible to track her down and what happens when I do find her and your amazing kids!" Mr Smith laughed.
Fred didn't think for another moment before giving in to his demands. He would have beared anything he did to him, but Angelina and his children? No! He was not able to give her the happiness she deserved.
He was not able to stay with her and fulfil all his promises and was not able to be there for his children, this is all he could do to make her stay alive at least, he is ready to give up everything for her.
"I can give you the documents!" He accepted, but he still has one game to play and that is the lie he told him earlier. "And I can stop the attorneys from spreading the news"
"Good. Let us make a deal! Meet my conditions and I will set you free" Mr Smith agreed too.
"Please, spare them too. I put them through this, and don't involve anyone else into this mess, I will take responsibility for every of my actions" Fred requested.
"Well, we shall see how that goes!" Mr Smith shrugged. "Good boy, guys, untie him, we have places to visit" he added with a selfish grin.

"Put me down" Molly said shyly trying hard to look at his face.
"I'm sorry, Molly. It was because of me that they treated you like that" Tyler apologized.
Molly looked up at his face and the look in his eyes made her shiver. He looked at her worriedly and asked if she was cold.
"No, I'm alright. I was just wondering��" she bit her lip to stop herself from saying what she was about to say.
"Wondering about what? Please, talk to me, Molly," He asked.
She was mute even when he set her down to stand on her feets. That was when she looked around to see that he had carried her out of the school premises and they are standing right beside his car.
"We should be inside our classroom, why did you bring me here?" She mumbled.
"I want you to do me a favor" he said calmly.
"Well, I should thank you for everything. I owe you one, so tell me�� if it is something I can do, I will," She said shyly.
"I know I have been bad towards you in the past, really mean and rude to you, I'm sorry about that" he asked for forgiveness.
"I heard you like a girl, is that true?" She changed the subject looking up at his face.
"Yes. Not like, but love. That is very true, and I sincerely hope she would accept me" he replied, meeting her gaze.
"Why do you love her then? I mean, there are so many girls at your disposal, I hope you can be honest with answering this question" she asked curiously.
"Is there a reason to love? If people have reasons to love or choose someone, what happens when that reason is no longer there? Beauty fades as we all go through life, we grow and change constantly and that is because we are human beings. Tell me, should there be another reason why I shouldn't love her?" He replied tediously.
"Maybe because she is not all that smart and brilliant to pass her exams in flying colors so she would be given a scholarship.
Maybe because she was not brave enough to tell you that she loves you from the very first day she set her eyes on you and chose to see the bad side of you to feed her crumbling heart.
Maybe because she comes from a very poor family and is afraid to let you into her miserable life to avoid humiliations like the one she faced just now and she feels that you two are worlds apart.
Maybe because she doesn't deserve someone like you because she might f?ck up one day and ruin your life with what she is known to be characterised with.
Maybe because she doesn't even as beautiful as one of the women you hang out with and she is an introvert who believes that her life will change if she buries her head in books every night and day.
Maybe because��" he put a finger on her lips and shut her up.
"Stop lying to yourself. Try seeing yourself the way the way I am seeing you and you will see that you are worth more than wealth. Molly, all I ask for is just one day with you. I know of a place we can go right away if you accept,"
"There are many reasons why you should not waste your time with me, I am fine if you are happy and��"
"And who told you I will be happy without you? Just accept to come with me. We will spend only one day and if you are certain you don't want anything to do with me, I promise never to disturb you again and I will even leave this school, please?" He begged.
Molly looked at the school premises and knew that going back won't be a good decision because the news of what happened has already escalated and her female enemies will be waiting for her in front of her classroom to tease her about it.
"I can't go back in there. Let us go wherever you want!" She accepted without another thought.
He smiled and happily opened the car's door for her. She got in and he rushed to the driver's seat and sped off.
