Princeton immediately entered his car and drove out roughly__ dazing everyone.

“Follow him!”Enzo said and immediately entered the car.

“Sir,I think it’s best we wait for him”Roger said.

“So I should let my only heir drive around with the property papers to some unknown number? Get the engines working!”Enzo snapped furiously.

Roger and Jorge exchanged glances,they never seen him this way,but either way they drove after Princeton.

Princeton drove into his mansion and he walked in quickly,soon he came out with another file as instructed just a while ago.

He entered the car again and drove out,his hands were shaking on the steering,and he kept squeezing hard on it.

“Stay safe for me doll”he mumbled, turning down a corner,he noticed a car closely trailing him and he frowned deeply.

“Dad!”he groaned and hit on the speed,he turned down a corner and another and like that he lost them.

He began driving normally,he picked his phone up and dailed the number,it picked immediately.

“I’ve got what you want bring her with you,bank river……unharmed or I’m burning these f_cking sheets with you”Princeton said with a dangerous tone and cut the phone.

“Whoa such guts to thr_@ten me?”Noah chuckled lightly after Princeton cut the call and turned to Francecsa,who threw laser glares at him.

“Should I just ki|| him? I don’t like him anyway”Noah smirked and Francecsa eyes went wide.

“Bastard!! A deals a deal!! “Francecsa snapped and Maxwell pulled more on the rope around her neck choking her with it.

“And if I change my mind? He’s Enzo’s heir so it’s only fair he dies,it would have happened long ago if you didn’t keep interfering”Noah frowned.

“You can’t ki|| him…..not until I get my money,then you can get your revenge”Jacqueline said entering the dark warehouse,guards behind her,her heels making click sounds as she walked to Francecsa.

“Psyco’s!! You can’t do that, you’ve got the money!”Francecsa yelled crazily wiggling aggressively in the chair and it only gave her more cuts,Jacqueline grabbed her jaw tightly, piercing her nails deep into her flesh and Francecsa winched painfully.

“You’re also a psycho to be yelling at me in my dome,I can just ki|| you and your lover at gun point”Jacqueline snarled tilting her head fondly, hot tears rolled down Francecsa’s eyes but she smirked anyway.

“You know you can’t ki|| him,you’re scared he’ll ki|| you before he does,you know he can get psychotic when it comes to me”Francecsa said proudly and Jacqueline brow formed a large scowl.

“She’s more stubborn in person,I would have enjoyed ki||ing her right now but I need her alive”Jacqueline said and moved back.

“You two,keep an eye on her,bring her to the bank after the exchange”Noah said and Maxwell nodded.

Jacqueline left together with Noah and that was when Cecile actually came to light.

Francecsa mouth fell open beyond shock when she saw her face clearly.

“You too? What else are you? Ɓîtçhy wh-_-re”Francecsa chuckled dryly and the two exchanged glances.

“She’s crazy, honestly”Maxwell chuckled.

“You’re not pulling enough, she’s still breathing”Cecile smirked and snatched the rope from Maxwell, she placed her leg on the seat pulling even tighter choking life out of Francecsa, Maxwell pushed her off immediately.

Francecsa coughed out blood painfully,her throat stinging hellishly.

“We aren’t allowed to ki|| her!”Maxwell snapped.

“Too bad,I wanna know how she cries to death”Cecile smiled like a psychopath and Francecsa scoffed.

Maxwell brought out two phones and dropped them on the table and Francesca immediately recognized the first as Beatrice’s.

“You actually out did yourself this time how did you get the phones?”Cecile smirked.

“I paid a maid to get me Enzo’s from his room but Beatrice was easy she left it in her car”Maxwell smiled and Cecile nodded.

“So we’re leaving her here till boss calls,I can’t stand her face”Cecile said glaring h@ťěfully at Francecsa who kept a calm smirk.

“Yeah,guards are outside,she can’t leave anyway “Maxwell said and they both walked out the room.

Francecsa stared at the phones at the other side of the room and scoffed inwardly.

“Dumb bells”

“It was here,where is it?”Beatrice kept pondering around the house, scattering everything around.

Xavier and Sienna walked in that moment and they exchanged glances.

“What’s up mom?”Sienna asked.

“My phone,it’s was somewhere but now I can’t find it,do you two know where Cesca went she might know where I dropped it”Beatrice replied turning over the sofas.

“No she left for Princeton’s place a while before you came back,I doubt she’ll know where you left it”Xavier said, tucking his hands deeper into his pants.

“We’ll help you check “Sienna said and before Xavier could refuse she pulled him with her.

Robert suddenly walked through the door and they stopped to face him.

“You back so early dad?”Xavier squinted his brows slightly.

“Francecsa was kidnapped, my daughter is in the hands of some goons!”Robert snapped and thier eyes widened.

The pillow Beatrice held fell to the ground.

“What!”Xavier furrowed his brows.

~ •River bank• ~
Princeton stood outside his car, impatiently waiting,his anger steering up more as the seconds passed.

He h@ťěd the fact of his doll spending one more minute there,he checked his phone again and when he saw nothing his anger built up again.

“Are they playing me? They’ll surely regret it”he fronwed deeply.

A black Ferrari halted in front of him and he began taking quick steps to the car, a man suited up came out from the car and Princeton didn’t hesitate before handing him the papers.

The man gave the file a long stare before facing Princeton again,he pressed his ear pod and smiled.

“It’s done ma’am, everything is on check and in your name”The man said.

“Where is she? The deal was I’d exchange her for the papers!!”Princeton snapped impatiently.

“She’s being brought to you as we speak “the man smiled, Princeton grabbed his collar instantly and was about to punch him when another car drove up at the other side of the bank.

Princeton’s immediately dropped his hands and watched as Francecsa was brought of the car.

Cecile and Maxwell came out behind her and Princeton squinted his eyes on them.

Cecile leaned closer and whispered something into Francecsa ear cutting the ropes roughly,the dagger slit her fingers a bit but she couldn’t feel the pain her heart ached more.

It’s windy at this side of the city,so her hair kept flying out of place,her eyes staring affectionately at Princeton who stood eager to take her in his arms and that thought……It maked the ache cut deeper and she found herself crying.

“C’mon let’s see how far you can run to save your lover,few precious seconds left”Cecile smirked wickedly pushing her forward.

Francesca sttargered forward but bolted out immediately running round the river,her dress flowing freely with the wind as she ran effortlessly,her eyes kept dripping warm tears as she ran closer and closer to him and his smile kept widening.

She had just few steps to reach him but he already advanced forward and she flew into his arms like the wind embracing him to herself and before he could get it,her cold palms cupped his face and she captured his lips wetly engulfing all her emotions into the kiss.

The bullet was released at them instantly and it pierced into her chest,penetrating deep.

~Flash back ~
Jacqueline sat in the car which Francecsa was being carried with,but she was tied helplessly at the back.

“You were his darn mother for nineteen f_cking years how don’t you feel remorse for you actions?”Francecsa scoffed and Jacqueline smiled grimly.

“It doesn’t matter darling, everything was an act”Jacqueline cackled and Francecsa’s fist tightened.

“An advice from a ex mother to a daughter-in-law your lover is dying either way Noah won’t spare him,you can try and save him though, it’d be fun to watch?”Jacqueline shrugged, titling her head to stare clearly at her through the mirror.

Francecsa tears came freely.

“You’re a monster!”Francecsa snapped furiously.

“No darling I’m the devil”Jacqueline smirked and Francecsa gulped emptiness.

~End of flashback ~
She gasped weakly grabbing her chest tightly and he broke the kiss to meet her glistening eyes, looking so vulnerable.

He felt warm liquid and immediately looked down,his eyes widened widely,her blood!

She fell into his arms and her blood kept gushing out endlessly and he was sure his heart stopped beating.

He stared back at her with a horrified look,his face like blood had been drenched from his very veins. She smiled vulnerably and moved her bloody palms to his face to caress it softly.

“I love you…….”she struggled to utter, tears rolling down as more blood gushed out.

“So…..so much….you can’t even….. imagine it…..ever”she smiled sadly and her lashes slowly clunged together.

“Doll!!! Cesca!!! Hey!!!!! Doll?!!”Princeton kept shouting like a lunatic,he stared up with blood shot eyes and found out the car was way gone. His fist folded firmly on his knuckles.

“Doll!?”Princeton snapped again tapping her cheeks more,next second he swung her into his arms and entered the car with her.

He dropped her in gently and rushed fast to the front and started the engines hurriedly,he kept knocking out things and cars as he drove but he didn’t stop.

He drove at maximum speed. Crazy speed!

He stopped in front of the hospital and a stretcher was immediately pulled out for her.

He watched her get pushed into the IUC room,he watched them pull the life machine into the ward, he stared down at his bloody clothes and his anger intensified madly,if he didn’t get it all out now he’d probably loose it but not here…

He began walking out the door when Robert, Beatrice, Xavier and Sienna rushed in,he ignored them all walking straight for the door.

It was like he wasn’t seeing anything clearly,cos he kept pushing everyone out of the way,Roger’s call came in that instant and he picked it quickly.

“Sent their current location,somehow Francecsa managed to send their location,they are planning to leave the country, should I stop them?”Roger said from the other side but Princeton ignored him and immediately drove out speedingly.

“The passports are ready sir”a man said watching Noah pack up some paper works.

“Great take me to the airport,this might be my lucky day”Noah chuckled.

“Shouldn’t we just finish them all before leaving,it’ll make our work easier “Jacqueline snapped walking fast to Noah.

“We looted the Andre-Kings money and forcefully collected their properties do you think Enzo will just lay down and watch and Robert ,his d*rn daughter took the bullet,we are good as done if they find us”Noah snapped, locking up the bags.

“She’s really a lunatic “Jacqueline smirked,Noah faced her with a smile but his smile disappeared when the guard’s head blasted off his neck,blood splattered on the walls.

“That lunatic was mine!”the familiar voice echoed.

Noah was facing the door and he was first to freeze,Princeton’s dangerously bloody face channeled in his brain,he had two guns on each hand.

Jacqueline quickly brought out her but Princeton fired his gun and it got her hand.

“Arghh!”Jacqueline fell to the floor.

Princeton clicked the gun again to $h00t Noah and his eyes went wide,he pulled the trigger on his leg also and he fell.

Princeton clicked the gun again.

“Hey! Don’t pull that trigger again, we’ll give the money back,just don’t $h00t!”Noah snapped, grabbing tight on his bleeding leg.

Princeton dropped his hand and began chuckling like a maniac,the two exchanged confused glances.

“Money? You think I’m here for the da*n money? Darn you!”Princeton snapped,his face back to it’s dangerous glare.

He shot another bullet into Noah’s leg,he screamed.

“My doll can’t breathe without a machine plug into her, she’s lying like some corpse and I can’t even pull her into my arms right now and tell her everything is fine,she can’t hug me,I can’t bury my sorrows on her shoulders and no one knows if she’ll survive!!”Princeton yelled madly and pulled the trigger again but this time his chest.

“Argghh!”

“I want you to feel every bit of what she’s feeling every tiny bit,but I’m not too patient for that I want you to rot in hell now!!”Princeton smirked and pulled the two triggers at once,it got his head and it blew off easily.

He faced Jacqueline,she stared at him fear reeling out her face and he chuckled again.

“You know what,I don’t want you to die that easily,you will taste what hell feels like though”Princeton said and picked up a keg,he opened the keg and began pouring the content all out on her.

It burned through her skin and into her bones peeling off easily. Acid!!

“Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!”she screamed in agony but it still wasn’t satisfying enough,he wanted to inflict more of what he was feeling right now and this wasn’t even a pinch close to it.

He pulled out his gun from his pocket again and aimed for her head but another bullet was shot first,it got her second leg and she screamed out in pain.

Princeton turned back immediately.

“Leave her to me son after all I should give her a proper death being her younger sister”Adelie smirked,her black dress dragging beautifully as she walked to them with a gun in her hand,she dressed personally for this occasion.

Princeton stared blankly at Adelie and she stretched out her right hand.

“The gun son, Francecsa needs you beside her right now,I’ll take care of her”Adelie said, Princeton gave Jacqueline another glare and made to drop the gun but gave her another shot on the leg.

“Die in hell”Princeton muttered coldly and walked out.

Adelie walked closer to Jacqueline and crouched down beside her.

“I told you I’d ki|| you personally didn’t I? Here I am to fulfill that promise”Adelie smiled innocently and Jacqueline stared back fearfully.

“You wouldn’t ki|| your own sister,you are bluffing!! “Jacqueline snapped,Adelie smiled coolly and grabbed her chin aggressively.

“The same sister whom left her own pregnant younger sister on the streets after stealing her fiance? Or the one who stole my son for years?!!”Adelie snarled h@ťěfully and moved back.

“As much as I want to see this scared look on your face for the rest of your life,I also want you dead “Adelie said and raised her gun again,two infact.

“Hey!!! No!!!”Jacqueline yelled but Adelie began emptying all the bullets out on her skull. Six each, twelve.

Soon everywhere went quite and Jacqueline’s body dropped lifelessly to the ground.

“Suffer in hell sister”Adelie smirked and walked out.

Princeton began rushing hurriedly to the ward,he got several calls but ignored them all to reach here safely.

He kept running madly down the hall but stopped when he saw everyone crying thier eyes out.

Princeton stopped on his tracks,his heart beat shaking crazily.

“My baby! My little girl!!”Beatrice cried devastedly on the ground and Xavier and Sinner hugged her tightly.

“What did she ever do to them?”Robert muttered,he sat on a chair crying out also.

“Okay…. What’s going on? Why is everyone crying?”Princeton sttuttered fearing the result of his answer.

They all looked up but instead of talking they continued crying.

Princeton walked hurriedly to Xavier and immediately pulled him up by the collar.

“What the h*ck happened, where is she?!!”Princeton snapped and Xavier sniffed.

“She has less than twenty four hours to live,the doctor aren’t even sure if she’d make it till another hou……”Princeton pushed him off roughly and immediately rushed to Francecsa’s ward.

It’s for real, she’s laying lifelessly on the bed and the doctors kept running helter skelter.

He rushed to her immediately, and the nurses tried pushing him back but he pushed them away and held Francecsa head to his chest,tears falling freely,he placed his shaky hands on her chest and his throat dried up.

“She….she has stopped breathing?”Princeton sttuttered like a historic question and the nurses gave him pitiful glances.

“We are sorry sir,she slipped into a coma and we aren’t even sure if she’d ever come out or even survive the next few hours,it’s a delicate situation,the bullet was shot at her heart region and it had it’s damages”the doctor said.

Princeton sttargered backwards like a bullet was shot right into his chest,he couldn’t breath nor feel anything.

He stared around for something and instantly spotted a tray,he grabbed an injection……..

He stabbed himself!

“Sir!!!_”
