LOVE & REVENGE - CHAPTER 41&42
Robert sat comfortably on his seat waiting for the person who wants to buy the company.
Nathan stood few meters away from him. Susan and other staffs were outside with someone of them feeling nervous.
They weren’t sure how to act when they finally meet their new boss.
Few moments later, someone came in and introduced himself as the one who wants buy the company.
Robert stared at him as if he has seen her somewhere.
“Have we met before?” Robert asked and he smiled.
“Maybe once or twice. I’m Jeff by the way” he said extending her hands for a handshake and Robert took the hand still staring at him suspiciously.
“You might wanna take a picture, it will last long” Jeff said taking a seat and Robert smiled before taking his own seat.
He called Nathan and asked him to bring the documents.
“Lets get straight to business” Robert said handing him the papers which he took with a smile.
“Why do you want to sell this company, Mr. Robert?” Jeff asked flipping through the pages of the documents.
“Lets say, I want to relocate to a new place” Robert said
“But you are not the owner of this company. Is this not what we call fraud?” Jeff asked
“What are you talking about? This company is mine. It was transferred to me by the ex owner” Robert said
“Really?” someone said and Robert looked up to see a complete squad before him.
Alex. Donald. Matteo. Kylan.
These were not his problem. His problem was the fifth person among them. The one he never imagined would stand with them.
Lucas!
“What in the name of betrayal is this?” Robert asked and Lucas only smiled without responding.
“You ungrateful worthless sons” Robert said clenching his fist.
“Whats that? Do you want to punch me? Go ahead if its gonna make you feel better. But know that you are spending your remaining life in jail” Lucas said
“So you really think that i’m dumb. You are the dumb one here if you ask me” Alex said
“Very dumb. To think that I would ever support you. You gat to be kidding me. And yes I forged those documents” Matteo said
“Including the house documents. In other words, you are now homeless because you sold your estate” Lucas said
“And I was the one who bought them” Alex said sliding his hands into his pockets.
Robert felt like the world was spinning round and round his head.
“One more thing, what is your deal with her?” Alex asked showing him the picture they took from his house.
He looked at the picture and back to Alex, then smirked.
“You think I will tell you” Robert said and tried leaving but Jeff blocked him.
“Not so Fast Mr. Robert. You will come with me to the station to make some statements. And lest I forget, i’m inspector Jeff” Jeff said showing him his I.d.
“For what?” Robert asked
“Let me see the picture” Matteo said moving closer.
“That’s my mom” Matteo said
“Your mom?” Alex asked
“Yes. She died when I was six” Matteo said.
“Florence k*lled her. Fiona’s mom” Lucas said lowly and Matteo’s eyes started turning red.
“Was it necessary to mention Fiona?” Donald asked
“Where is Florence?” Matteo asked coldly.
It’s obvious he was trying to hold in his anger.
“And why are you asking me?” Robert asked
“Let’s go and get that witch” Matteo said and tried to leave but Kylan held him back.
“She left and right now we don’t know where to find her” Kylan said and Lucas’s phone started ringing.
“Florence is heading to the airport” Lucas said after dropping the call.
They ran out of the company in a rush and Jeff left with Robert. The rest of the staff went back to their duties.
They arrived at the airport and the announcement for the departure was going on. They arrived at the same time with Magret.
Matteo left them and began searching for Florence.
“Here you are” Lucas said removing the scarf and face mask covering Florence.
It happened that she just passed them and Lucas suspected that she was the one.
“What do you want?” Florence asked trying to break free from his hold.
“Follow me quietly lets not make a scene” Lucas said walking off and the others followed. They walked to the car with Florence and she entered nervously.
“Drive to her house” Alex said to Lucas and started walking to his own car.
“I think my house is a better choice” Donald whispered to Alex and he paused.
He turned to Lucas and told him to drive to Donald’s house instead.
Lucas and Donald glared at each other before entering their cars.
The drive to Donald’s house was a silent one since no one was in the mood of saying anything.
Matteo was still wallowing in anger. Alex couldn’t Wait to put his uncle and his partner in jail. Lucas couldn’t wait to get his revenge. Donald and Kylan couldn’t wait for their friends to be lively again.
▫DONALDS HOUSE▫
Florence was taken into Donald’s torture room forcefully as she resisted them initially.
They made her sit on the floor and Alex sat on a chair facing her. He opened his mouth to say something but paused and looked at Donald.
“Where is Derek?” he asked
“Somewhere else” he answered
Alex brought put the picture and showed it to Florence again.
“Who is she and what happened to her” Alex asked
“I don’t know what you are talking about” Florence maintained
Matteo walked up to her and tried hitting her but Donald held him back.
“Were you trying to hit me? Go on. You brought me here against my wish and you are trying to hit. Do it and I will send you behind bars” Florence said defiantly
“Let me have the bucket” Donald said and Kylan handed over a bucket to him.
“This is water mixed with pepper. If you don’t want to have a taste of it better start talking” Donald thr_@tened and Florence shivered in fear but she was quick enough to mask it with a smile.
“You think that will make me say anything. You have no evidence to back up any of your claims” she said and Donald chuckled
“That aside. What happened to Fiona’s baby?” Alex asked and she looked up at his face.
“The one you ki||ed?” Florence asked and Matteo landed a slap across her face and Florence could swear that she saw stars in the second heaven.
“Your wickedness is so irritating that I want to choke the life out of you” Matteo said
“Third question, where is my son?” Magret asked and the guys turned to look at her.
They obviously didn’t hear her come in.
“What child? I don’t know what you are talking about. You all will hear from my lawyer once i’m out of here” Florence said
“That is if you make it out alive” Matter said and brought out chains.
He walked to her and dragged her up to another chair in the room. With the chain, he tied her up and went back to where he was standing.
“Now will you talk or should I use the water?” Donald asked and Florence kept quiet.
“Seems like you want this the hard way” Alex said and got up from the chair. He took a candle and lit it. He raised up her skirt to her laps and made the hot candle wax drop directly on her skin.
She screamed out in pains when the wax kept dropping nonstop.
“Where the heck is my child?” Magret asked again
“Derek knows his whereabouts not me” Florence said in pains.
“Derek?” Alex asked
“And I was thinking about letting him go” Donald said
“You are lucky you didn’t” Alex said and walked out.
They started leaving one after the other going in search of Derek.
“This is the beginning. I am coming back for you” Matteo said and walked out.
