BOY WITH LUV - CHAPTER 57&58

Will 🍁🍁
I woke up when I felt someone touching my hands. I opened my eyes and saw a man untying me. He looked really familiar. I didn’t make any move nor sound till he untied my hands l. He proceeded to untie my legs then he looked up at me. He gasped a little as his eyes met with mine.

“you look… awfully familiar” I muttered under my breath

“don’t talk” he whispered. He took my hand and placed it over his shoulder then placed his other hand behind me

“let’s get you up” he said and pulled me up gently

“where are you taking me?” I asked
“I said don’t talk” he replied and began to walk with me. We kept walking quietly through the darkness of a hallway outside the room.

We finally got outside in the cold and dark night. There was a car standing close-by with two men carrying guns by it. He took me to the car and made me sit in. While I was sitting, I saw three men sitting on the floor with their backs against the wall. They were sleeping and their guns were carelessly lying around them on the ground.

“start the car” the man ordered the driver and he started the car and drove off.

“here, take some water. You must be thirsty” the familiar man said and brought a bottle of cold water to me. I looked at him with my dull eyes. I then gently collected the bottle that became too heavy for me to carry because I had no strength. However, I managed to hold it up to my lips and gulped down a great part of it.

I gave him back the bottle and I felt refreshed and a bit strengthened. I relaxed my back and closed my eyes and I fell asleep.
*
I turned and felt something prick into my skin. I jerked my eyelids open and looked at my hand where I felt that pain.

“huh?” I muttered when I saw myself in a brighter room on a big bed like mine from home. I was fixed to a drip and it was the syringe that pricked me when I turned wrongly.

“Eish” I said as I rubbed my thumb on the spot. Now that place is going to get swollen.
I sighed and moved my body a little only to be greeted by pain all over.

Mari 🍁🍁
I was trying to call Fred back but his number was no longer reachable.

“this is bad. This is so bad” I said as I paced round the hotel room

“oh my God!” Eliza exclaimed and looked at me from on top of the bed where she was sitting

“what is it?” I asked but she didn’t answer
“Eliza why did you shout?” I asked again

“it’s… Will’s been…” she stopped

My heart raced “Will’s been what?”

“he’s been ki—”
“ahhhhhhhhh! No no no! That’s a lie. You’re just joking with me Eliza. He can’t be ki||ed! No! No! Nooo” I said and fell to the floor. I heard Eliza scream as consciousness slipped out of me

Fred 🍁🍁
I cleared my throat and walked into the room where he was staying. Even Derulo and the rest were already there. He shouldn’t be calling for me and because of what I’ve done, I have to be really careful.

“he’s here” Maxwell announced

“finally” Caleb said and offered me a seat. The looks on their faces were not good and I had to try to blend in to avoid being suspected

“why are you all looking angry?” I asked as I collected the bottle of beer from Coloy and poured it out

“men raided our hideout and took Will” he answered

“Will? Mari’s ex? You guys already abducted him?” I asked
“yes. We abducted him yesterday” Maxwell answered

“and you guys didn’t tell me? I would have stayed here and guarded him” I said and tapped my fingers on the table

“how about Mari? She’s here already I suppose” I said

“after you gave us yesterday, we sent men there but the house was empty” Derulo said

“what do you mean the house was empty?” I asked

“she and her friend had left. However, their things were still intact.” Caleb said and poured himself another glass

“but I called her around 10pm and she said she was home already” I said

“are you guys thinking what I’m thinking?” Caleb asked

“someone’s giving them information” I stated

“there’s an inside man. But who could it be?” Maxwell asked

“someone who knows about the plan to abduct both of them” I suggested and we all kept quiet.
I wasn’t told that they’d be taking Wilbur. I had overhead them planning it so there was no way they’d suspect me for taking him away.

Mari 🍁🍁
I woke up and looked down at Eliza who was rubbing my body with a wet towel. I groaned and moved. She looked at my face and sighed
“if I don’t die a natural death, then it is the fear Mari puts into me that ki||ed me” she stated

I sat up on the bed and cuddled up my legs

“is Will really—”
“—no. He’s not dead” she cut in

“but you said he was ki||ed”

“no… I was going to say he was kidnapped but you broke out even before I could pronounce the –d. Ugh!”

“which means he’s not dead right?” I asked rhetorically
“ohh thank God! I’m so relieved right now” I cooed while placing my hands on my chest

“hmm” Eliza sighed and continued staring at me in a weird way

“what is it? Why are you staring at me that way?” I asked. She didn’t answer me. Instead she shook her head, picked up the small bucket and the towel then left.

“is she pitying me?” I asked myself and scoffed

I picked up my phone and decided to take a picture. Immediately I raised my phone up, I remembered what she said and what it meant. Her voice echoed in my head “no… I was going to say he was kidnapped but you broke out before I could even pronounce the -D.”

My phone slipped off my hand and I screamed again. I covered my mouth and stared at the bed.

Eliza came running in from the bathroom “what is it again?” she asked

“Wilbur’s been kidnapped” I stated and she arched a brow at me. I think she was saying “so know you know?” in a sarcastic way in that mind of hers

Wilbur 🍁🍁
I didn’t sleep for about an hour. I was just sitting up and calculating my fate. They said they were not going to ki|| me but what if I die from their torture. I’m too fragile to be mishandled.

“what I’m I going to do? How can I escape?” I asked myself. I tried to finally come down from the bed but I remembered I was connected to something

“I have to remove this” I mumbled to myself. Right then the door opened and I immediately sat still to avoid trouble.

The man who was looking like a Chinese or maybe Japanese, bowed to me

“you are awake young master” he said and lifted his head

What? Young master? Me?

“bring in the food” the man said and two ladies walked in with trays. They bowed to me first before dropping it on a table. They then left. With their outfits and face, I could tell they were Japanese.

“you should eat now. I’ll remove this“.he said and removed the injection needle from my skin. He then attached a band aid. He bowed and gestured me to the table. I was so hungry and weak that I couldn’t reject.
He helped me up and led me to the table. He uncovered the food and bowed again

“can you please tell me something?” I asked

“anything. You can ask me” he answered

“which country I’m I?” I asked

“Japan”

“oh. And what about the guys that brought me here” I asked again

“he left this morning and ordered us to take good care of you till you recover fully” he answered and I furrowed my brows

“okay thank you” he bowed and left
I sat still and gazed at nothing

So what happened yesterday night was a rescue? Did that man rescue me? No wonder he said I shouldn’t talk.
Who is he? He’s just too familiar but I can’t place my fingers on what I really need to know

Mari 🍁🍁

“stop panicking. The police are already doing the job” Eliza said but I was still pacing around the room

“this… This doesn’t make any sense. Who would kidnap him? Is that person after us too?” I asked

“but Fred hasn’t even spoken to us since then. Are you sure this isn’t a prank?” Eliza asked

“I feel it’s not. And Will been kidnapped is proof” I answered

“how? We’re not connected to Will anymore. If you were still his girlfriend I’d agree with you” she said and fell back on the bed

“where’s Goldie?” I asked

“hidden behind that sofa” she said and pointed to it. I wanted to walk to the sofa and pull her out but our door flung open and three men rushed in and pointed guns at us

Fred 🍁🍁
I went back to the guys hideout and met a big shock. Mari and Eliza were tied up in the room they had kept Will. They were unconscious.

I was angry at them and at myself too. Why didn’t I move them far away first? Well if I had done that I wouldn’t be able to move Wilbur. But Will’s would have waited. Now security would be so tight around the girls. It’s going to be really hard to take them away

“I see you’ve arrived” Coloy’s voice echoed behind me. I turned to face him with a smile

“I see you got the girls” I said in return. But he didn’t smile

“yes. I did.” he answered coldly

“I also found out who helped them runaway and also who helped Will” he added

“you did? Who is it? Would you tell me?” I asked and he moved closer to me

“you and I both know who it is” he answered coldly
.

Fred 🍁
I tried my very best to act cool despite his cold glare. If he had found out then I’m in trouble. I should have hired someone to do that job for me but I couldn’t trust anyone but myself. I just hope my little cover up worked

“you… It’s you” he said and I scoffed

“me? Can you stop kidding and tell me who it is?” I asked

“I just told you. It’s Yu. The Chinese American who went off duty yesterday” he said and looked at the girls. I heaved a sigh, he didn’t hear it though. My cover up had worked. I paid him off and told him to run away to a faraway country and fake a new identity. I had actually thr_@tened him with all his crimes. He was my fish bait.

“have you gotten him?” I asked
“no. We only pointed him out as the one who helped them. He was seen in Manila the night our men raided their house but he wasn’t part of the men we sent. The next time he was seen was the night Wilbur went missing from here and now we can’t find him. But we will” he said assuredly and pocketed his hands

“finally we got the girl. The girl who helped us out of prison. If not for her we’d be rotting in prison for the rest of our lives” Coloy said to himself. I looked at Marigold.
What he meant was that they only got helped out of prison because of her issue.

“get rid of the other girl for me. I only need the short one” he said and walked out of the room

I looked at Eliza and smirked. I walked to her and shifted her from Marigold. I went out of room and went to get a body bag from one of the men. I returned and put Eliza in it then carried it to my car. No guard asked me anything and that must be because Coloy already told them.

But as I got to the car I met the same Coloy there.

“is she dead already?” he asked and I nodded

“give it to one of the boys to dispose it. I have something to discuss with you” he said and I looked at the boys with him

“I rather get it done. We still don’t know who is who among these men” I said and tried moving forward to go but two of the boys blocked me. Coloy laughed and walked to me

“Fred… You know I like you. I really like you and that’s why I’m giving you this opportunity to live.” he said and moved really close to me. He leaned against me and whispered into my ears

“I know what you did. And I’m only forgiving you because you took Will away from that Caleb. I hope he’s in somewhere safe” he asked and I just nodded

He shifted away from me
“good. We don’t need the girl anymore. We only used her to get Caleb to help us. Therefore we’re getting rid of her” he said

“boys take the bag” he ordered and they rushed at me and took the bag

“please… Don’t do this. Her friend didn’t do anything” I protested

“what? I thought you said she’s dead already” he said and I gulped down

“she’s not dead?“ he asked and the boys dropped the bag. He signaled them to open it and one of them did. He checked her pulse and nodded to Coloy. Immediately, Coloy waged at me and punched me. I staggered back and he jacked me up by the collar and pushed me to the ground

“you punk! What’s your aim here! What is wrong with you?” he asked angrily and I touched my busted lip.

He exhaled and brought out a pistol

“you know one thing about me? Nobody works against me. I only use people who are useful to me” he stated

“oh come on man! You’re overreacting!” I said

“not really. We were going to finish you off after you got us the girl but I liked you so I waved it off. But now you’re obviously not on our side anymore. I’ll just go with the first plan” he said and pointed the gun at me

“okay, okay I’m sorry. You don’t have to do this!” I begged because I realized Coloy was a pervert. His eyes looked like a vampire ready to suck blood and I thought he was the good one among them.

But this issue isn’t even enough to ki|| someone. I thought he was happy I took Wilbur. Why does he want to get rid of Eliza? Does he also want to get rid of Mari? Maybe torture her first? No, I can’t let that happen. I don’t want Mari to feel any more pain

“step away from him” a cold and thick voice ordered. Coloy looked back immediately and dropped the gun from pointing at me.

“don’t ki|| him yet. Get him to bring back Wilbur” he said as he walked past me towards the building. I didn’t see his face clearly but by the voice, I can tell it’s neither Caleb nor Derulo and Maxwell.

“you’re lucky sweetheart” Coloy said with a smile. I exhaled and sat up

“boss, what about this girl?” one of the boys asked

“take her inside too. Let’s wait for what Ortiz has to say about her first.” he replied and the boys nodded and left

“you’re taking me to go and see Wilbur” he said to me with a smirk across his face

Mari 🍁🍁
I stirred on a very cold surface and opened my eyes. I was lying down on the floor in a room that was empty. I tried to carry myself up but I couldn’t move freely. I looked at my hands and there were tied

“Oh my God!” I mumbled and looked around the room that I couldn’t see fully because I was lying down on my side.

My mind darted back to the hotel room. How those men made us follow them to the rooftop. After pointing guns at us, they ordered us to move with them and not make any sound. We had to do as they said even though they had tucked their guns away while walking us to the rooftop. If we tried to run, they were about five and would catch us in those long and empty hallways. And there was no way we could run down to the lobby quickly because we were on the fifth floor. If we were to try and use the elevators, they’d catch us before we reach it. And if were lucky enough to reach the elevators, they would catch us before it opens or before it closes back.

I sighed softly as I laid down on that cold floor. It was like I had surrendered already so I wasn’t going to struggle anymore.

But where is Eliza? Did they keep her somewhere else? Or did they hurt her? Did they hurt Eliza?!

Right then the door flung open and a man walked in. I had seen his legs first before I looked up at his first. I gasped when I saw his face. He smirked at me and came to bend down beside me.

“surprised to see me baby” he said and stroke my hair

“are you behind this?” I asked

“partially” he replied
“I’ve missed you” he added

“get your hand off my hair you jerk!” I ordered and he chuckled
“obviously you still h@?? me. Can’t you forgive?” he asked

“Caleb move away from me!” I yelled and he sighed and stood up

“don’t worry. I’m here for you okay. I won’t let them hurt you” he said, winked at me and left. I screamed in frustration and kicked my legs that were also tied together.

I felt unfortunate

Will 🍁🍁
I limped to the only window in the room. My leg was hurting me and it had really swollen if not for the herbs that some of the maids were applying to it.

I saw a car drive in and I hoped it was the man who helped me. I sat on the bed and waited for him to enter.
Shortly after, the door opened and the Butler came in looking sad.

“what is it?” I asked
“I’m sorry. Do not h@?? me for this. They thr_@tened to ki|| my daughter in kindergarten” he said

“who?” I asked and the door opened. Derulo entered and my heartbeat literally stopped for that minute.

“you must have thought you’ve escaped real good” he said and chuckled. I palmed my face and sighed

I really thought I had escaped

Fred 🍁🍁
I watched as they moved Wilbur back to the building. They had figured out where I kept him and I didn’t tell them. I was completely powerless and my life was even in their hands already. I actually didn’t know that the man who had ordered Coloy to let me be was their boss. I thought Caleb was their boss but they were just under the man. Because they wanted revenge, their went to visit him and planned with him. He happens to have a deep hatred for Wilbur.

“Coloy wants you in the room” a man came to tell me. He was one of my secret men and I had told him earlier to call the police to this place. I also told him to alert my other men there to run off immediately. My men were just five though, Mr Yu made them six.

I stood up from the room they had made me stay with two men watching me and I followed the man. I gave him a signal and he went off immediately we reached the room they kept their victims. I saw Will with Mari when I came by the door. I felt a sting of jealousy seeing how he cared so much about her. I turned back and left there.

Mari
About an hour later, the door opened again and three men walked in. I had managed to make myself sit up earlier so I could see them clearly.

“so this is the girl who took him from us” the one with long hair said with a laughing tone

“I wonder what makes these men like her. She’s rather too timid for me to like” one with a low hair said. The last man looked the oldest, like in his late thirties or early forties. He didn’t say anything.

“where is my friend?” I asked with a fearless voice

“ohh, she’s bold.” the long haired one said

“your friend’s somewhere else. But we have someone to show you” the older one said. They left the door side and two men walked someone in. I gasped when I saw Wilbur. His eyes widened when he saw me.

“Mari” he called out. They pushed him to me and he bent down in front of me

“baby are you okay? Did they hurt you?” he asked as he looked me up and down

“aww he loves her. How cute” the long haired one said again.

“did they hurt you? Please talk to me!” he said but I didn’t answer him. I just looked away from him

He turned and glared at them

“what the heck did you do to my girlfriend!” he screamed at them

“ex girlfriend” I pronounced and he turned back and looked at me with surprise

“wow. She already got over you? Look at those cold eyes she’s using to glare at you” one of them said but I didn’t know who because I was really glaring at Wilbur. He exhaled and began to walk towards the men, but he was limping. I looked at his legs and noticed the one he was limping with. What happened to him? Did they torture him while he was here?

“please. I’m begging you, let Mari go and take me. You can hurt me all you want but please don’t hurt Mari” he pleaded

“you know what you’re supposed to do to make us let her go” the long haired one said coldly. Will sighed softly and looked at me then he looked back at them

“okay. I agree” he said.

Agreed to what?

“then kiss me right now” he said and my eyes widened. Did he just ask Will to kiss him? So is Will truly gay? I was hoping that video was fake.

Will hesitated. I could see he didn’t want to do it.

“strip the girl naked and have her R@P£D” the man ordered with his eyes coldly looking at Will

“stop” Will said and the two other men who tried to move towards me stopped. Will moved closer to the weird man and was just about to kiss him when Caleb walked in

“yo! You two motherf_ckers get a room! You’re in front of a lady here” he said and pushed the both of them. He walked to me and began to untie me

“you’re spending the night in room baby” he said and winked at me. I wanted to punch him but I realized if I did that he’ll not untie me

“what do you think you’re doing?” another voice I somehow recognized said. I looked up and screamed immediately. Will gasped and staggered back

Eduardo! I thought he was murdered

“nice to see you again” he said to me. He looked at Will and smirked

“I had promised you I wouldn’t share your secret with anyone, but you stabbed me in the back so I had no choice than to connive with them against you and your little princess” he said and looked at me.
Did he just say Wilbur stabbed him in the back? This guy’s a complete psycho!

“I’m sorry you have to go through this, it’s all Wilbur’s fault” Caleb said and continued to untie me.

“bring her to my room” Eduardo said and turned to go

“whoa whoa! Bring who to your room?” Caleb asked him. He turned back and raised a brow at Caleb.

“this is my girl. The deal was that we get back at Wilbur for you and we already did that so f*uck off with him” he said and pulled me up

“come on let’s go” he said to me. Will looked at me helplessly and looked away. I actually felt the pain he felt that very moment.

Suddenly Eduardo waged at Caleb and pushed him to the wall with his hands gripped to his neck. The force Eduardo used at him actually pushed me down to the floor

“Mari!” Will yelled and tried running to me but one of the men grabbed his hand and pulled him with so much force that I thought his hand would rip off his body. He groaned loudly and fell to the floor too.
The long haired man glared at him.

Meanwhile, Eduardo was busy choking Caleb by the wall. The three men didn’t do anything about it.

Fred 🍁🍁
I got a call that the police were few metres away from the building where we were. I sighed and walked back to the room. There I saw that boss of theirs choking the lousy guy by the wall. Mari was sitting on the floor and gripping unto her arm. I ran inside and held her

“Mari! Mari are you okay? Did they hit you?” I asked and she looked so surprised to see me

“Fred?” she asked and I hugged her immediately
“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry” I said and the next thing we heard was a gunshot. She screamed and we looked at Derulo who slumped to the floor with blood gushing out of his neck.
I looked up at Caleb and the other guy and there were looking surprised to. The gun was in the other guy’s hand

Wilbur 🍁🍁
I immediately recognized that guy when Mari called his name. That was the Fred Buenos. I felt a sting of jealousy when he hugged her. I looked at where Eduardo was choking the other guy and sighed. Why wasn’t Coloy or the others doing anything?

Suddenly Eduardo got kicked in between his legs and he groaned and left the guy. The guy proceeded to punch him in the stomach and Eduardo tried to grip unto his hand but the guy was swift enough to dodge Eduardo. One thing led to another and they began to through blows and kicks and all of a sudden Eduardo brought out a gun to $h00t the guy. He froze and just as Eduardo was about to pull the trigger, the guy immediately kicked his hand and the bullet met Derulo on his neck. He fell down immediately and started jerking for life

“Derulo! Derulo!” both Maxwell and Coloy called as they bent down beside him. Derulo stopped jerking and just laid lifeless with his eyes opened. Coloy gritted his teeth and looked up at Eduardo. He stood up slowly and walked to him

“what did you just do?” he asked coldly. The other guy stared at the both of them and ran out of the room. Maxwell ran after him.

Coloy brought out another gun and Mari gasped. I couldn’t move anymore. All my energy had faded off and I was struggling to keep my eyes open. After I had fallen, all my aches resumed duty.

“it’s his fault. Why was he standing in the way?” Eduardo said and wondered what type of fool he had suddenly become.

“you ki||ed him” Coloy said calmly as if he wasn’t angry. But since I know Coloy well, I also know Eduardo is dead meat.

Eduardo chuckled softly and turned to Mari.
“you… Come with me” he said and pulled her up

“no please. Let me go! Let me go” she cried. Coloy’s eyes were turning red. He looked at Eduardo and pointed his gun at him as he took Mari away.

“if you think you’re not gonna loose at all in this, you’re wrong! We’re all gonna loose” he said and turned the gun to Mari. Eduardo didn’t know as he was pulling her neither did she. I was afraid Coloy would want to ki|| her because he never forgives and since the only person important to him at the moment was Mari, he’ll want to take her life and have Eduardo feel the anger he was feeling because of Derulo’s death.

Just as Coloy pulled the trigger, Fred ran up and pulled Mari away from Eduardo. Eduardo shifted to the position of Mari because of the pull and the bullet met his neck too. I sighed in relief that Mari wasn’t hurt.

“d@mn!” Coloy groaned and glared at Fred

“please, don’t hurt her. Please” he begged. Coloy looked at me then at Derulo

“I said I’ll do as you asked. I’ll be… I’ll be your boyfriend again. Just don’t hurt Mari, I’m begging you” I pleaded and I saw Mari’s tears dropping as she stared at me.

Coloy walked to me and pulled me up, he began to help me walk towards the door then suddenly stopped. He turned around and fired two shots at Fred. Mari screamed and began to cry, clutching unto Fred’s body and dropped the gun on the floor.
He stepped out of the door with me when we heard ‘freeze’. The police pointed numerous guns at us. Coloy left me and I fell again. He lifted his hands and one of the police men handcuffed him.

Mari 🍁🍁
The bullet had met Fred on his shoulder and lower abdomen. That wasn’t enough to ki|| him right? It didn’t hit any vital organ right?

“Fred please you can’t die! Fred” I cried and lifted his head up

“I won’t die Mari. Not when I’m in love with you” he said in a very low voice I doubt if anyone else heard

“what?” I asked and he closed his eyes and didn’t answer anymore. I thought he had died but he still had a pulse. The police moved in and helped me up. There was a bodybag in the room, there opened it and brought out Eliza. I screamed but the police man quickly shouted that she was alive.
