** Spencer **As soon as Max told me that Andrea was arrested and the reason behind the arrest, I and Collins rushed to the warehouse where Andrea will be given a special treatment. Her hands have been chained by the time I get there, now the decision to squeeze the truth out of her mouth was in my hands.“What are you planning on doing to her?” Collins asked.“I don't know,” I replied. I was truly confused about what to do next, I badly wanted Sydney to be found as soon as possible but at the same time, I was scared that I might be a little too late and lose Sydney forever. I don't know if torturing Andrea was the best idea.“Come on, man, you have to be sure of what you want to do next… remember that she is helping the mastermind to treat Sydney badly, you have to torture her and make her say the truth,” Collins said.Max tapped me gently on my shoulders. “Can we have a moment outside, Spencer?” He asked.I nodded and followed him to the premises of the warehouse. I knew what that l
“Spencer, what the hell is wrong with you?” Max asked when he had pulled me out of there.I wiped off the beads of sweat on my face. It was as if I was trying to recollect my thoughts back. When I was inside there, I had absolutely lost control and didn't know what I was doing. I can't even believe that I hurt Andrea to that extent, it wasn't intentional but I was not in control of myself.“Max, I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't understand why I lost control earlier,” I replied honestly.I had never seen myself in such a rage before and this was because of Sydney's Kidnapping… What would happen if I eventually lost her?. There will be chaos and burning hell in this city.“You have to learn how to control your emotions especially when you are in rage. What you did to Andrea was terrible and might give people a different perspective about who you truly are. I know that you are angry because Sydney was kidnapped but you have to remember that if you're not calm, you are nowhere cl
** Collins **I returned home after but this time, I had in my mind that the confidence I had about eliminating Spencer easily had vanished. What my eyes witnessed in that warehouse was an enough reason for me to be careful on how I'm tampering with Spencer. He looked bloody, more like when the devil is devouring on his prey. Of course, I know that Andrea is innocent. She wasn't the one who told me about the back gate, the culprit was still in the Talker's mansion and roaming around freely. If it was the culprit that Max had caught and the motherfucker spilled the beans about our deal, I would have been a dead meat by now. “You look so worried, Collins,” Tessa said when she entered the room.“What my eyes have seen today has put a deep fear into my body,” I replied.“Well, suck it in because old man Lee will be here soon. You wouldn't want him to believe that you are a coward and afraid of carrying out one simple task,” she snarled.I went to her swiftly and grabbed her neck. Tessa
I clenched my fists in anger as I entered the empty building where Sydney was being kept in the meantime. This was supposed to be the best time to lure Spencer here and complete the mission but I'm beginning to doubt that doing that immediately would be the best thing to do.My phone rang, it was old man Lee that was calling me. He was damn thirsty for blood and torture that's why he wants me to hurt Sydney so that Spencer's emotional side will be triggered badly.But Sydney is not just any woman, she's pregnant with a child, and hurting her would be the most inhumane thing to do. Spencer would surely kill me if he found out that I hurt Sydney or I was the one behind the kidnap.“Well, are you going to pick up the call or not?” Tessa asked me.My anger increased as her annoying voice rang in my head but I had to suppress it because it wasn't the right time yet. I have to get the power that I long for first before getting her out of my way. In the meantime, I have to tolerate her annoy
** Aiden **Joyceline grabbed my shirt as soon as mother was taken away by Spencer's security team. Her eyes were filled with tears and rage as she glared right into my eyes.“How could you let them take her away like that?” She cried.I just looked at her, dumbfounded by what had happened earlier. I hated Spencer, not because he refused to be business partners with me. It was because I noticed his closeness to Sydney and I dislike that. Even though Sydney and I were torn apart by her inability to have a child, I still have feelings for her because she was the woman who I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Unfortunately, Joyceline came along and gave me what I wanted and in turn, I had to give her what she was after - money, a home and marriage. But after seeing how Spencer was angry because Sydney was kidnapped here, a part of me was devastated as the suspicion of a blossoming relationship between them kicked in my mind. Even although Spencer denied it when I asked him about
I watched from a dark corner as Joyceline waited for Alan in the hallway. My phone was already on sound recording so that the evidence of Alan's confession would be recorded. I don't know how Joyceline wants to pull this off, but I'm hoping that it is going to work out. I needed my mother to be free and also Sydney too. And if it turns out that Alan was truly the one who helped them, I would make sure that he is punished severely for what he did.Few minutes after we waited for him to come along, Alan showed up. He was probably on his way to his room. He stopped a few steps away from Joyceline and folded his arms.“What are you doing here?” He asked.“I'm here to reason with you about something important,” Joyceline replied.Alan scoffed, ‘’And what could that be?”“What else is it going to be about? I want to hear from you how you saw Andrea making unusual calls in this house,” she said.“I don't have time for this banter with you. I've already explained it to them and I'm not going
** Spencer **As soon as I ended the call with Aiden, I called Max. My call with Collins was recorded and sent to the security, so I was waiting for their response so we could swing into action. I was not expecting Aiden to call and tell me that his mother was innocent and Alan was the culprit - damn the crazy Alan.“Spencer…” “Max, something's going on. Aiden just called me to say that Andrea was innocent and Alan is the suspect,” I said.“What did you tell him? Did you tell him about what you did to his mother?” Max asked.“I couldn't bring myself to say it. I'm regretting it but there's no way I can reverse it. I just want to focus on getting Sydney out of that darkened hell that Collins put her in,” I said.“But you should have known better, Spencer. I tried to stop you but you didn't even listen to me, it was as if you were overwhelmed by your emotions.”I sighed, “I know how it felt then. I wanted to stop but my heart was pained by what had happened to Sydney. If I had known th
When my eyes open, I see that I'm in a hospital. There was a bandage around my shoulder but I was relieved that I was not bleeding again. Max was facing the window, he was on a call and when I grunted, he walked over to where I was.“He's awake now. Should I give him the phone?” He asked whoever was calling. He was silent for a second or two before placing the phone on my ear. “Your mother,” he said.“Spencer, are you okay? Max told me about everything that happened and I'm so worried about you,” she sobbed. Her voice cracked, an evidence that she was truly concerned about what happened to me.“Mom, I'm fine. The bullet just brushed my shoulder,” I replied.“Just brushed? That bitch shot you and you're here saying that it just brushed your shoulder. What if it didn't? I've spent so much time in silence that they think I'm still as miserable as I was before, I think it's time for me to return to LA city,’’ she said.I nearly exploded on hearing her. Returning to the city amidst this cr
