My breath caught in my throat when I saw him dressed identically to how I was. Is there any surveillance equipment in this room? If so, did he notice me wearing it and decide to imitate me? "Shit, what the heck am I thinking?" I thought, Looking everywhere but him.Oh, never mind, he looks terrific, and- he muttered something that cut me off in the middle of what I was thinking. “Yes?” I asked him because I hadn't been paying attention previously."Let's go," he sighed, pulling his hand from his pocket. I embarrassedly nodded and proceeded behind him, the food had already been delivered and served by Mr. Hemsworth.We began eating our dinner, which consisted of corned beef hash and scrambled eggs."After eating, consume your medicines as well, and you may also go for a walk with a maid or bodyguard standing outside, feel comfortable, and please take care of yourself,"he remarked with a poker look, and I simply nodded, and soon our breakfast was served, maids and Luke's nanny had alre
"OK, mother," he murmured as he kissed my cheeks and walked away, and I sighed and got on the bed to take my medications and rest.Only 2 minutes later, I heard Luke squealing with delight when his nanny assisted him with his morning ritual.He ran up to me, hugged me tightly, and placed his head on my lap. With a slight smile on my face, I caressed his head.Luke remarked, staring intently into my eyes with eyes full of hope, "Mommy, Luke wants to go for a walk."I was hesitant since I wasn't sure whether we should go for a walk together, but when Mr. Hemsworth offered that I could go for a walk with maids or bodyguards, I thought to see Louis as well, as it's been 2 days since I last saw him, and I also want to check his wounds and locate his new location as I recall now his home was sold to Mr. Hemsworth, so I sighed and shrugged my mind and said, "Sure darling, but let me first speak with your father." "Mom, but dad and Uncle Alex is going to bring Kenny," he murmured with pursed
George’s POV (A few minutes ago)When I mentioned that Luke misses his sister, I was ready to go after Shrey who had a plainly distressed expression, but I stopped when I saw Luke cheerfully entering Shrey's room. I sighed and turned to face my brother when he tapped on my shoulder.He wished me a “good morning” and offered me a soothing embrace with a smile on his face. I returned the favor and invited him to sit down with me on the sofa.We spoke about how we were going to meet John and what we should do next."How is Luke doing, by the way? Is he alright? Although I didn't want to annoy her, I saw him enter Shrey's room and I wanted to meet her. I hope she recalls me soon" Alex uttered while maintaining a straight posture, stroking his thighs with his hands, and saying,A sign that he is becoming uneasy and losing his patience. It's not that I don't feel comfortable discussing my feelings with him; it's just that we are running out of time. I turned to face him and tried to find th
They exited the car and walked up to the five-story, eerie building, wondering why John had picked it as the location for their meeting.George took a deep breath and measured the results of entering the building while Alex turned toward his older brother to make a move. Although he had no fear, he didn't want to jeopardize his or his brother's lives at this time.Without glancing at his brother and donning his black goggles, George remarked, "Let's go," and he began to enter.Alex quickly caught up to him, while Shrey and Jenna halted their car a little distance away from the building and away from George's viewpoint.When Jenna watched George and Alex enter the building, she said, "Ma'am should we go inside.""No not now, we arrived here unprepared, and if we walked inside, we would endanger our lives as well as George, Alex, and Kendall's lives," said Shrey as she turned to face their slowly vanishing forms. In response, she just nodded and wondered how she could remain so composed
"Yes, just the three of us were meant to meet, but your brother deceived me." He stated this as he advanced angrily toward Alex, who was already gripping his pistol holder and ready to attack on John."Chill, Alex," John remarked as he directed his henchmen to emerge from the concealed chamber where they had been hiding, and leveled their guns at both George and Alex."I knew you'd betray us," George began, dropping his head, but shortly after, with a triumphant sneer on his lips, he remarked, "But what a fool you're to believe that mafia brother would come unprepared."George’s POVWhen I finished speaking, I abruptly kicked John's hand that was pointing a gun at Alex's head. At this point, there were only 2 of us and we were fighting for our lives.I knew this was a trap because the John in front of us is not the John we were supposed to meet, but he also knows where Kendell is, so I asked Alex to bring his Men as well.When I kicked John's hand, he fisted his right hand and hit Ale
When we went inside, we saw John laying on the floor with his mouth taped and his hands and legs tied to a broken chair.As I quickly approached him, I glanced in Alex’s direction and nodded to watch the gate until our man indicates their arrival.After quickly removing the tape, I asked him, "Are you okay John?" to which he groaned in agony. "Yes, sir," he replied, and I hastily opened his hands and asked him the most key question. "Why are you trapped here and where is Kendall?"He took a big breath and began explaining, "She is 68 km east from here, in a similar building as this but more secured and guarded, the spot is prohibited to go, since it is defended by Range Forest officer itself, which is totally controlled under mafia queen Evelyn as 35% of the smuggling of animals skin, and Sex trafficking globally she carries on from here."When he added the word sex trafficking which frequently involves young innocent girls, the idea didn't sit well in my brain. I face palmed myself a
“Brother, why did you stop me? He deserves to die.” Alex was confused and irritated by his brother's actions; he knew that he had softened and didn't mean to hurt anyone, but he why did he stop him? George responded with a straight face, "You won't kill him," as he moved closer to John. He grabbed his hair firmly and forced him to gaze in his direction, "You already played a lot brother, let your elder brother demonstrate his talents as well. Up until now, all I wanted was my daughter back, but now let me show the real me, and the consequences of messing with my life." he stated with a malicious sneer pasted throughout his statement. He put on his spectacles, which had been lying on his tucked buttons throughout the fight, and smiled devilishly at his brother. Alex was taken aback by his duality; his weak side only lasted a few minutes, but his serenity right now reminded him of the old fierce George Hemsworth. "Um, brother, our men have already come; instruct us what to do nex
No one objected, knowing that a big shot like George Hemsworth, with the backing of his brother, is eventually the King of the underworld due to the repercussions they had to face or the inadvertent parts they had taken.Shrey, on the other hand, awoke with a heavy head and struggled to take in her surroundings while trying to remember how she got here and what had truly occurred. She rubbed her eyes and looked for Jenna, who was alongside her and had also been hit severely.In addition to Shrey, there were two other people laying on the ground: Jenna, who was asleep, and a girl who had anticipated her fate at such a young age—that she would never meet her parents in this life.The young girl was simply continuing to gaze at the two women who had a special place in her heart—one of whom is her mother and the other whose presence she valued most after her parents.She was hesitant to approach them because, if she did, the delicate figures in front of her would disappear and she would b
