Mr. Aiden stared at her for a second. He watched her tears slide down her cheeks, and she saw that his eyes were shining with amusement.He is enjoying this.Letting her go, Fanny collapsed against the wall, her body suddenly weakening.Mr. Aiden stepped back and sat down on a chair in the middle of the room. He leaned back and crossed his arms across his chest, looking dangerously intimidating.She quickly looked around the room, but it was empty.There are no windows, and the room looks unfinished. Upon realizing that, Fanny took a deep breath.It's not a room. It was a dungeon.Her eyes blinked as Mr. Aiden arched and glared coldly at her.Fanny trembled against her gaze and glanced down.She didn't want to see him. His face will be a reminder of all the bad things that have happened and will happen to her."You're a troublemaker, aren't you? You ruined Michel's plan." Mr. Aiden started.Her eyebrows furrowed, but she didn't look up."All this time, he's been hiding you so you don'
"What about Kaylin? Any news from her?" Charles asked as they sat around the coffee table in Michel's private room, the map was laid out as they tried to divide the city to narrow down the search to find Fanny.They had spent the previous two hours torturing Gwen, desperately trying to get her to speak, but she didn't give them anything.Michel shook his head."Not yet, but I'm going there today. She hasn't answered my calls or texts and that might not be a good sign."Andy sighed as he leaned over one of the maps, circling several areas."That's right, so I think we need to start here." He pointed to the south side of city X, marking the area with a black Sharpie."This is Davies's home ground, a good place to start asking questions. They don't know yet that we know about Gwen and we're keeping her so it can work."Michel licked his lips and ran a hand through his hair in frustration."Mr. Aiden. I want to kill him. I need...""Are not." Charles cut him off immediately, the words car
"My point is, if the roles were reversed and it was me being held by our enemies, what would you do?"Vengo immediately sat up straight at the statement, just the prospect of that even becoming a reality made his blood boil."I'll go find you."Audrey cupped his face and locked eyes with him, a glint of seriousness and determination now reflected in it."That's your point, honey. If this happens, Michel will support you. He'll help you get me back, won't he? So it's time for you to support him."Vengo was dumbfounded at his wife's statement.Before that, all he wanted to do was do it his way. But she finally made him see his mistake.This is a family and not just any family, they are an organization that has been around for longer than this.Confronting Michel?That would fall into the hands of the enemy and that was the last thing he wanted to do.He would rather give up his life.No, Black Roses's cause will always come first and he will defend it.Along with his mafia brothers.---
"Anyway, they both told me the same thing. They were asked to make a deal at the warehouse, but when they showed up that day, they believed Phoenix was setting it up for them. Bellamy told me that when they entered the warehouse, they only started shooting because they thought they were being attacked, and once they realized it was you, they were too scared to come forward to say anything.""I don't understand, so they weren't informed that we were there?"Kaylin shook her head."They were set up to kill you. When Bellamy and Kieran understood this, they wanted to get out of Davies, but they doubted who to talk to. Everyone could be in on it."Michel rubs a finger over her forehead, trying to understand what she's explained but doesn't feel quite right about it."So what are you trying to say, they just kept quiet?""They're waiting for the right time to leave but they know it won't be easy." She explained further.Michel nodded.He is undecided on what he wants to do next because jus
Michel couldn't bear to talk to anyone after Mr. Aiden.He needs something to still give him hope.Just anything can get him there and convince him he'll manage to get her back.He doesn't know why or how, but somehow he finds himself standing in the middle of Fanny's room, staring ahead as the pressure in his chest continues to mount, invasive and painful twisting everything inside of him.The room looks the same.Nothing seemed out of place as if she was still living with them, her clothes and scent still lingering everywhere.He ran his hand through a few things, traced the spines of some of her books and bed sheets, without thinking twice, opened the nightstand drawer, immediately facing a folded piece of paper with his name on it. His heart stopped when he saw it, realizing that she had to write this before she left.Frantically, and with a gasp, he took the paper and unfolded it without hesitation.Michel,I'm not sure if you've ever seen this note but I guess it's worth a shot
Michel's gaze moved from her to Kieran and Bellamy and back to her, thinking about her proposal.He took a long moment to respond, pondering her words as he pulled out another cigarette.Kaylin understood his hesitation. Michel is an expert in the field and he can smell the stench from a mile away.Although, she also knows that he is desperate to find his girl.And for them to go anywhere, they don't have much of a choice.At this point, she's been missing for two weeks, and Michel is clearly losing her mind."It seems too risky, Kaylin. It could be a trap. How do you know this friend of yours? And what if this guy catches up? What other options do we have? Isn't that the best thing you all have?" He spoke to not only her but the other two, shaking his head as he smoked a cigarette."No, unless we're willing to wait a little longer until a better opportunity presents itself. This is the closest we've come so far." Kaylin retorted.Michel stared at her for a moment before he quickly or
What about Michel?He feels he is completely useless.He had placed all his soldiers where he wanted, but he didn't know what to do with himself.Michel has contacted their attorney to arrange all the contracts and property agreements so that they are ready to write to Mr. Aiden.But it won't be easy. These things take time, and the wait drove Michel mad.Leaning his forehead against the cool glass, he closed his eyes and let out a deep breath.Fanny.He let her down.He failed to protect her. But he didn't give up.He will do anything and give up anything to bring her back.Hearing someone come in and sit down, he was too tired to scold them for not knocking on their boss's door, so turning around, he noticed that Carlos had finally come to him.Michel had known for a long time that it would only be a matter of time until his cousin could start seeing things clearly again, and he wouldn't give Carlos a hard time for it.Anyway, Carlos has had enough.Michel was speechless, poured the
And that's still not enough, of course, which means he still can't bring Fanny back.The passing days had begun to take their toll on him as he only closed his eyes for an hour or two each night only to wake up drenched in a cold sweat with a gun pointed at an invisible enemy.His appearance also began to show signs of serious coercion.While his eyes were now permanently sunk in and there was deep darkness beneath them, his complexion looked dull and almost sickly.His people believe it is most likely due to the alcohol and tobacco diet he has, but they know better than to say anything to him.Despite reaching his end, Michel did not give up.Therefore, he held a final meeting because of the month that Mr. Aiden has given him that is coming to an end in two days and he wants to give away a few final details of his plan."So the news is out that I've taken over now. Now we need to brief all the Guests on what's going on - get ready to assist us. Vengo, you need to talk to Rowan and Al
