CHAPTER EIGHTY-TWONext, Stephen grabbed the third bodyguard who was holding onto his other hand with the fourth, and then he put his head between his armpit and pressed really hard.Feeling choked, the bodyguard was forced to let go of Stephen’s hand, and then he tried to free himself from being strangled, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t make Stephen let go of him.“Did you see that? That was wonderful!”“He is my type!” The lady said after her friend had spoken. She looked at Stephen with so much admiration, curling her lips at him.Seeing what had happened to the others, the bodyguard still holding onto Stephen’s hand decided to throw a punch at him, but he was too slow, Stephen quickly moved the face of the bodyguard he was holding onto, and the punch landed on his face instead.Stephen let go of him almost immediately, and he sprawled on the floor.Instantly, Stephen grabbed the last guard who was holding onto him by the collar and looked deep into his eyes with a fr

CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOURThe bodyguard held onto his bleeding nose and blinked his eyes severally to clear off the effects of the impact.Stephen looked at the other two bodyguards he was still holding onto, and then he pulled them forcefully toward each other, and only left them when their heads banged together. They fell to the ground and held onto their heads groaning.“I think I have seen enough violence for today.”“Yeah, we’d better leave here before things get more messy,” Sierra said to Mia, and they turned toward the driveway and left immediately with quickened steps.A few seconds later, the waitress who had gotten worried about the sudden exit of almost all the customers in the restaurant decided to check what was happening after signaling to her male colleague.She looked through the little space between some of the customers who were standing by the door, and the moment she saw Stephen, she gasped. “What is really going on?” She asked, but no one seemed to care to give her an

CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIXJamie laughed hysterically at the words that Lara said, making her brows move a hive at their edges.“What’s funny? Did I say something funny?”Slowly, Jamie died off the laughter, and then he looked at Lara through the rearview mirror while she waited for an explanation.“Your father has no say in this Lara. He knows not to interfere or he loses everything.”Lara was silent, for the second time since the last hour, Jamie had said things that made her go deeper into her thoughts.“What do you mean?”“Call Daddy, I am sure he will have a good explanation to give,” Jamie said, while he kept on steering the wheel through the busy road.Stephen fastened his seatbelt as soon as he got to the road, strapping it on and buckling it with his right hand, while he held on to the steering wheel with his left hand.He could see the black car in front of him, but he wasn’t sure he was going to be able to get to it through the busy road with lots of cars on the way.He looked arou

CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHT“Lara,” he said, and rushed towards her, but she muffled some inaudible words that made it difficult for Stephen to understand what she was saying.“What?” Stephen whispered as he stopped walking towards her.Lara was tied to a chair, with her mouth taped, which made it impossible for her to speak audibly.Stephen tried to move to Lara as soon as he saw that her hands and feet were tied to the chair she was sitting in, but she muffled again, this time with so much force and with a countenance that showed that she was trying to warn Stephen against impending danger.Just as he stood still, looking at Lara, with his flashlight still on, he saw an object moving toward him from his left with so much force.Lara muffled loudly, but before Stephen could grab what was going on the long stick had already landed on his shoulder, causing the phone to fall out of his hand.Lara muffled a scream when she saw that Jamie had succeeded in hitting Stephen with the stick, as he ha

CHAPTER NINETY “I am not going anywhere,” Lara said with a shaky yet determined tone.“What did you say, Lara?”“I said I am not going anywhere!”Jamie snarled, he looked at Lara and exhaled sharply.“Lara, don’t make this hard for yourself, just move.”“I won’t Jamie, you have to let me go.”“Lara!” Jamie called her with a hoarse voice, but she refused to budge.He became so angry that he had to push her toward the car.“Stop! You are hurting me, Jamie!”“Move! Move!”Jamie pushed her against the car, causing her to grunt in pain, and then he opened the door of the seat in front and tried to push her into the car.“Go on!” He ordered, but Lara refused, she held on to the frame of the door and pushed herself backward with all her energy.“I will shoot you, Lara! I don't have all day.”“Then you better do it now, do it, Jamie, I am not going anywhere with you.”Lara was surprised that she was able to behave that way, even in the face of danger. For a moment, she figured that Jamie wa
