"What's wrong?" Frank seemed to motice the look on my face.
"I don't know, I got an alert from my bank that I have twenty thousand dollars amd the description says For Dan but I don't...oh." I stopped in realisation."What?!" Frank shook his head, "What's it?" He was clearly not a fan of the suspense."When Dan and I were together, he used to have this savings account but then he had an issue with it and so we were supposed to temporarily avert the money to my account but I'm guessing he must have forgotten to change it back and now that he has reached his saving goal, they've deposited the money to my account." I shook my head, "do you think I should call him and let him know?""The fuck?" Frank pulled me back so I could lay beside him, "and what nonsense are you talking about my dear?" He asked me with a chuckle, "come on now, would he even pick your phone calls? Take it as your gain from everything that bastard did to you."I couldn'Kaugnay na kabanata

I could feel the air slowly escaping as my brain tried to place whose face the hand belonged to. I was certain I was going to pass out as the voices around me seemed to be blending into echoes and my vision was blurring away."You stole my fucking money." The voice clicked to me. It belonged to Dan, "thank God you kept your fucking location on, I don't know how I would have found you." If he thought killing me was a way to get his money back, he was fucking wrong and would likely end up in jail for the actions he was currently taking."Let her go!" I heard a voice bark before the oxygen was all of a sudden restored to me. I took loud gasps for air, coughing and feeling a burn in my throat."Are you okay?" Frank asked me, holding me to support my balance and keep me from falling off my feet.A tran of security men had swarmed up nesude us by now and they were holding Dan, taking him put of the mall without listening to what he had to say.

If Ed had not come in at that moment, I just knew I would have been dead meat. His entrance was a distraction to Dan and before Dan could pay attention to me, I was out of there and hiding behind Ed."What's going on?" He widened his eyes, looking at all the trash that the house had been converted to.Not too long after, there were police sirens around us. The police officer that showed up had gotten my phone calls and they had come to the aid.I explained myself to the first officer and they took Dan in after taking pictures of everything that had unraveled."How the fuck did he get in? That was so dangerous, he could have killed you." Ed said, looking around and shaking his head. "I don't know, i thought maybe you opened the door and let him in and then maybe he had turned everywhere upside down afterwards, this just fucking sucks." I ran my fingers through my hair, still unable to believe how much of a psychopath Dan had turned out to

"Wait, what?" I blinked in confusion."I'm just as confused as you are." He said with a shrug."Are you sure it's not a scam?" I wondered, peeking into his phone when he showed me the screen to read the content for myself and the email really was from a verified brand."This is insane!" I put my hands over my mouth, "I won't lie to you, I've never heard about this Marcello, but it sounds like it's really a big thing to happen to you!" I pulled him into a hug, forgetting all about the fact that he was still sweaty."I don't know how to feel." He ran his fingers through his hair. "Do you want to call your parents to ask them what this is about?" I said in a low voice, suddenly realising this might not be as good of a news as I thought. It would mean he had been lied to his entire life."They're gone." He sighed, "Celine is the only one I can talk to and honestly I doubt if she knows anything." He chuckled, "must explain why Celine and I loo

"What?" I repeated, waiting for the female voice on the other end to say it was a joke but she didn't. She was crying into the phone with so much pain. "What happened?!" I hopped to my feet, not sure exactly what it was I was looking for but I kept searching for flip flops, something to wear, just anything to get out of here fully dressed while Frank actively followed behind me to try to depict what had gone wrong just from the way I was behaving. "He called me that he needed a place to stay tonight that it was really urgent, he was driving all the way over and then I got a call that my son was involved in a fatal accident, I don't know if he had been over speeding or had been driving absent minded, but my son is gone." She informed me. I don't know what happened next because everything around me suddenly went pitch black.By the time I reopened my eyes, I was surrounded by Frank and Bianca and they had clearly been trying to revive me the entire time because ther

"Want me to make you some tea?" I asked Jane when it was night time and we had settled in. She was still gloomy and I didn't blame her."No thanks.""You haven't eaten all day, come on, you don't want to starve yourself do you?" I sighed. The Jane I knew would have celebrated what was happening wuth me in regards to Marcello but she didn't evenhen mention it once."What's the point of it, its not going to bring Ed back." She shook her head."Ed wouldn't have wanted this." I tried to pitch in an argument. "The Ed I know would not mind. He'd rather I suffered the consequences of my actions so I'd know not to do it next time, too bad he's gone." She laughed sarcastically. With a sigh, I gave her a gentle kiss on her forehead and exited the room "but if you need anything don't hesitate to fall."I joined Bianca in the ljving room."She's not joining in for Boys first?' She gave me a pitiful look and I shook my he

Frank and I took our seats and Frank didn't seem to notice the tension that was currently building between his supposed father and I."I know you were probably expecting me to come alone but sir, this is Jane." He pointed to me. I guessed he wasn't yet ready to use father son terms to regard him."Nice to meet you Jane." Marcello kept his composure but it was evident how uncomfortable he was with my presence. "Who is Jane to you?" He regarded Frank. I had not noticed that he was this man when I was browsing him through the Internet but seeing him in person certainly broke the crack."This is my girlfriend." Frank sounded proud of the fact and that was my first assurance. Frank knew what my background was and he had still stayed with me."Girlfriend?"Frank noticed now what was wrong. "Yes is there a problem?" He wondered. "I actually wanted to talk to you about a very disturbing call I received last night." He brought his phone out and sc

"How did that happen?" I panicked internally. I had not been settled when he had said he got that disturbing call and so soon she was gone."I don't know, I can't make any sense of it. I don't know if she went with someone but none of her teachers can place a knowledge of her whereabouts." Frank was starting to lose his breath. I feared that he would lose control and pass out. "Frank just calm down...""How can I? What's the poing of anything I'm doing then?" He snapped at me. I took no offense because I knew we were faced with a much deeper problem."Who else could have come for her?" I tried to see the positive to the situation rather than jumping to unhealthy conclusions."No one." His hands were trembling by now, no one else could have.""Not Celine?" I asked hopeful. "Not without asking me first." He shook his head."Come on let's ask her first." My heart was racing because I didn't know if she was actu

"Frank, what are we going to do?" I panicked internally. Frank was immediately stepping into action while I wondered what it was I could do to help. Two masked men had gotten into the car with us, "keep your hands where we can see them!" One of them bellowed on top of his voice.My only fear in that moment was Bianca. Although she was still asleep, I feared she would wake up to something that could possibly traumatise her for quite a while.Frank and I looked at each other and the men that had been helping us with driving and we were going to raise our hands when our driver suddenly pulled a gun out.My eyes went wide and he assured us with a scared look plastered on his face, "I'll handle this."The masked men seemed frightened in their countenance even though we could not see their reactions. My heart skipped knowing that these men had been driving with a gun this whole time but it did come off in handy now.It worked in our f
