Chapter Eighty Two

"Okay, I am done here. Let's go." Rose said and they both left the office and walked to the elevator. They took it to the underground garage and stepped out through the door that was meant for Rose alone. They got when John had parked and knocked on the glass.

"Hey, baby!!" Christopher called when the glass was rolled down.

"Good evening mom, good evening dad..." Princess greeted.

"Evening baby, how are you?" Rose asked with a smile.

"I am fine but not happy," Princess answered.

"Good evening Mrs. Rita!" They both her greeted and she also answered. "So, we'll ride in the other car, you people can follow behind," Christopher said.

"Okay," John answered.

"Do you want to ride with us?" Rose asked Princess.

"No, I will rather ride with grandma today. The two of you need your privacy." Princess said with a smirk. "Before I forget dad, you rock!!" Princess said to Christopher.

"What have I done this time around?" Christopher asked.

"I bet she is talking about your tv appearance of today," Rose added.

"Yes, I wanted to call you instantly to tell you that you are the best father anyone would ever have but there was no time.!'' Princess said.

"Thanks, baby, you are also the best daughter anyone could ever have!" Christopher answered.

"Time is not on our side. We need to go now if we plan to get home on time." Rose said.

Rose and Christopher walked to his car and drove out of the mall while the other cars followed at a distance. Halfway into their journey, Christopher couldn't hold his curiosity anymore so he had to ask. "Why aren't you saying anything about the surprise I told you about in the morning?"

"What surprise are you talking about?" Rose asked. She knew what he was talking about but decided to play dumb.

"Come on... I know you know what I am talking about. You just don't want to answer." Christopher said.

"Well, what do you want me to say?" Rose asked.

"Anything. Just say anything. It's better to say something than not saying anything at all." Christopher urged.

Rose looked at him and smiled. Held his hand and said. "If you want to know what I think then, you have to wait. What I have to say is something you will have to wait for."

"Hmmm, you are making it sound mysterious," Christopher said.

"Does it sound mysterious to you?" Rose asked with a smile. She would have loved to tell him everything that is in her mind but she wanted to wait.

"Yes!! Anyways, I want you to know that I said everything from the bottom of my heart. I meant every word that you heard. You are the only woman for me and if I had to go back in time, I will do everything possible to meet you earlier and I won't let you run away!." He said and held her hand.

'If I could also go back in time, I would also never run away.' She said in her heart. She squeezed his hand that was holding hers and rested her head on the seat and closed her eyes. Christopher looked at her and continued to drive.

When Mr. Allen woke up, the first thing he did was to check his phone if Stone had called him. When he didn't see any call or message, he decided to call. Before calling, he did his morning routine and ate his breakfast. His reason for delaying was that he wanted to listen to the news and see if anything will be said about Christopher and his family. When it was 5 pm and he still hadn't heard a thing From Stone or the news, he went back into his room and picked up his phone to call stone. The phone rang the first time without being answered. He tried again and the same thing happened. At the third trial, stone answered the call. "What is going on? I have been waiting for an update from you and you didn't even think to call me and tell me anything!" He said immediately.

"Sorry!! I was just busy trying to control your son and his family." Stone answered.

"So, what's happening? I haven't heard anything. Have you done it?" Mr. Allen asked.

"Hmmm, yes!! You are supposed to trust me. You know I always do a clean job." Stone said from the other end of the phone. The truth of the matter is that, when he was calling, Christopher's people had to call him to inform him that his father was calling Stone. When they told Christopher, he told Rose and she told him to allow Stone to take the call.

"That's what I want to believe but how come I haven't heard From you since yesterday? Tell me. What happened?" Mr. Allen asked.

"Everything went as planned. My boys and I caught him and his wife and daughter before they could get to their house. I haven't killed them yet and that's because I want them all to suffer before dying." Stone said. It was his initial plan but, after Christopher asked his people to take him away, he knew he had taken the wrong job. When they got to where they kept him. He knew he might not get out alive and decided to do whatever they wanted from him so that he can be allowed to survive.

"Are you sure you are telling me the truth? If I find out that you are lying to me, you know what I can do..." Mr. Allen said.

"Don't worry. You will get your verification soon. This is not the first time I will work with you so, calm down and wait for the good news!" Stone said. He was trying as much as possible not to give away anything from his voice.

"Okay, I will believe what you have said and wait for the good news." Mr. Allen said. His mind was finally at rest after getting confirmation from Stone. He had been scared all day thinking that Christopher might outsmart Stone and his boys but who would have thought that, it would be very easy to get Christopher. "Once I get the confirmation, you will get the money I promised you!!" He added.

"Don't worry. You will hey It in a few minutes." Stone said.

"Ok..."

"Sir!!!!" Mr. Allen was interrupted by a knock on his door.

"What!!?" He shouted angrily at the person who had knocked on his door.

"That should be your confirmation. Bye..." Stone said and hung up the call.

"Sir, you won't believe who is driving in from the gate!!" The person outside the door said happily.

"Who could be coming to my house at this time??" Mr. Allen said as he came out of his room.

"Sir!! You will be very surprised." The other person said and rushed back down the stairs.

Mr. Allen hissed and walked after her. If it was the confirmation that Stone said he would get then why is his cook so excited? With that thought in mind, he walked down the stairs majestically. The moment he was able to see who was waiting for him, his steps froze where he was.

"Good evening father in law!!"
