CHAPTER FORTY-TWO Everyone nodded in agreement to what the Chief of police said, and then Fabian stood out to say something. He cleared his throat, taking a deep breath.“I have something to say.” He lifted his hand to get the attention of the Police Chief who nodded slowly. “I think he could have hidden the ring somewhere. I am not certain that we are going to find anything on him. He is a smart criminal, and he will know that we will search him.” Elias scoffed, turning to Fabian with a smirk. “Your time is slowly drawing near.” “Time for what?” He asked, clearly not being able to understand what Elias meant.“Do you mean time for me to deal with you and make you pay for stealing Elena from me?” Fabian said with a whisper, drawing closer to Elias while he glared at him.“No one steals a woman from a man, Fabian. If she was yours, she wouldn’t have agreed to marry me the same day she was meant to get married to you.” Fabian grunted, clenching his fists tightly.But he couldn’t r

CHAPTER FORTY-FOURElena had so many things to say, but she couldn’t because the event had kicked off, and it was going to be very difficult for her to say anything that could be heard.Elias on the other hand seemed to be so engrossed in the event, laughing when he was amused, and clapping when he needed to.This continued for more than two hours, until eventually, the event came to an end.It was time for them to leave, and Elena couldn’t wait for him.She left the hotel in a hurry, and sat in the car, waiting for Elias to be done with Doris who had come to show her gratitude again.Eventually, he was done, and then he returned to the car to see her moody and looking the other way.“Are you not going to speak to me?” He asked, but Elena said nothing.Elias wanted to press further, but the presence of the driver made him choose silence.He turned to him, and with a wave of his hand, he instructed him to drive.The driver didn’t waste any time. He turned on the ignition and drove to t

CHAPTER FORTY-SIXThe sound of the high-paced music playing inside the club reverberated into his ears, and for a moment, he almost thought of dancing.He had completely forgotten what it meant to have fun, fueled by rage and the desire to make his enemies pay.There were so many foes that he had to deal with, and he didn’t know how long it was going to take for him to be done with them, but he was certain that he was going to make all of them pay.Finally, he was inside the club.He got in through the back door, ignoring the couples he saw either making out or attempting to tear each other’s clothes.The sound of the music had increased, and it was only a matter of time before he got closer to the dance hall.But he was certain that the man he was looking . Leo, and he was not going to stop until he found him.There were four staircases in the middle of the dance hall, and each of them had guards lined up on almost each step, their hands tightly gripped to their guns.Elias counted.

Elias obeyed.He was determined to get what he wanted, and tolerating the girl’s behaviour didn’t seem like something he was going to be able to do to get what he wanted.“I think I have an idea.” Millie finally broke her silence, and her face brightened up slowly.“Let’s hear it.” Elias retorted, drawing closer to her.She took a deep breath, looking him in the eyes.“One of the guards who are allowed to go into the inner chambers is a nitwit. I will distract him while you go in his place. I just need to give you his card, and we will have to do something about your outfit.”Elias looked at his grey suit, wondering what was wrong. “What happened to this? What is wrong with what I am wearing?”Millie grunted, shaking her head with a smirk. “Did you see any of those men putting on a grey suit? Are they all on black? Do you want to look suspicious?”“Oh.” Elias nodded. “I understand.” He took a deep breath, returning his gaze to Millie while he waited for her to say something.“Here is

CHAPTER FIFTYThe middle-aged man had long hair, and apart from the fact that he was well-built, he looked very rich; the golden and diamond rings on his fingers were enough evidence.Millie became very nervous the moment Leo took his seat among the other men, and worst still, he pointed to her.“You! Come!” He commanded, and she dared not waste his time.As she staggered toward him, Millie turned to look at Elias, who still had his eyes on the man he had been looking for.The rest of the men seated at the table seemed to be very nervous at the presence of Leo.Three of them were way older than him, but that didn’t matter to them at that moment.All that mattered was what they had come to do, and if they were going to be leaving that room alive.The latter depended on Leo’s mood, hence their silence, and the intention to speak only when they are asked to.Leo spanked Millie so hard on her backside, but she dared not react.She forced a smile, shaking while he pulled her closer, lettin
