CHAPTER EIGHTY-TWONext, Desmond 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 Desmond’s hand, and then he tried to free himself from being strangled, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t make Desmond 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 Desmond with so much admiration, curling her lips at him.Seeing what had happened to the others, the bodyguard, still holding onto Desmond’s hand, decided to throw a punch at him, but he was too slow. Desmond quickly moved the face of the bodyguard he was holding onto, and the punch landed on his face instead.Desmond let go of him almost immediately, and he sprawled on the floor.Instantly, Desmond grabbed the last guard who was holding onto him by the collar and looked deep into his eyes with a

CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOURThe bodyguard held onto his bleeding nose and blinked his eyes severally to clear off the effects of the impact.Desmond 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 messier,” Sierra said to Mia, and they turned toward the driveway and left immediately with quickened steps.A few seconds later, the waitress who got 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 Desmond, she gasped. “What is really going on?” She asked, but no one seemed to care to give her an answer.W

CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIXJamie laughed hysterically at the words that Mira 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 Mira through the rearview mirror while she waited for an explanation.“Your father has no say in this Mira He knows not to interfere or he loses everything.”Mira 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.Desmond 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 Desmond to understand what she was saying.“What?” Desmond whispered as he stopped walking towards her.Mira was tied to a chair, with her mouth taped, which made it impossible for her to speak audibly.Desmond tried to move to Mira 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 Desmond against impending danger.Just as he stood still, looking at Lara, with his flashlight still on, he slightly saw an object moving toward him from his left hand with so much force.Mira muffled loudly, but before Desmond could grab what was going on the long stick had already landed on his shoulder, causing the phone to fall out of his hand.Mira muffled a scream when she saw that Jamie had succeeded in hitting Desmond with the s

CHAPTER NINETY “I am not going anywhere,” Mira said with a shaky yet determined tone.“What did you say, Lara?”“I said I am not going anywhere!”Jamie snarled angrily, he looked at Mira 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 Mira 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.”Mira was surprised that she was able to behave that way, even in the face of danger. For a moment, she figured that J
