CHAPTER TWENTY Sarah froze. She looked at the gun pointed at her head and gulped down saliva. She whimpered under her breath, but couldn’t say a word even if her mouth wasn’t taped. “Stay there, unless you want her brains on the floor!” Marcos threatened, and then he started to untie her gradually. “If you try to be funny, I won't desist from shooting you; this gun is loaded,” He warned Sarah as he continued to untie her. After a few seconds, he removed the rope from her body. Sarah tried to move, but he pushed the gun forcefully against her head, making her whimper with her hands in the air. “That’'s right, now stand up nice and slow.” Sarah was reluctant to heed his words; she sat on the chair with heightened breath, moving her eyes from one angle to the next with fear all over her. “Did I stutter? I said stand up!” Sarah was forced to rise from the seat; she looked at Ciro, but he just stood there with his hands in full surrender. “You don't have to do this, Marcos; just

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO “Out of the way you fools!” Marcos barked, but the six men in black suits were already out of the car and headed toward him with guns pointed at the car by the time he was done talking. He had been forced to match the brakes, and while he waited to see what was happening, his heart started to beat at a fluctuating pace, making him really nervous.“What the hell is this?” Marcos asked out loud, but there was no one to answer his question, even Sarah was as confused as he was as she sobbed about the past horrible incident she had witnessed. As the men continued to approach with steady but slow steps, Marcos realized that they were coming after him, he thought of the best action to take, but nothing came to his mind. “Shit!!” He said out loud, hitting his hand on the steering wheel, and withdrawing it almost at once, as soon as he felt the pain from the impact. “Who the hell are these men?” Marcos asked, but as usual, his questions got no answers. He growled in f

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR “Please help me! Let’s take him to the hospital!” Sarah pleaded with the middle-aged man standing in front of her. She placed her left ear on Ciro’s heart, to know if he was still breathing. “Please help me, Sir, let’s take him to the hospital!” Sarah pleaded again, with tears in her eyes, but she saw that the man was smiling at her, and this made her very surprised. Her countenance changed toward the man. “There would be no need for that Ma’am.” The man said, not eager to let go of his smile. “What? What do you mean?” Sarah asked, looking very confused. “Hello, Sarah.” Sarah gasped, and then she withdrew from Ciro’s body forcefully, reacting to the shocking waves that went into her body the moment she heard her name. Sarah sat on the ground forcefully, panting frantically, and then she looked at Ciro, to be sure she wasn’t going crazy. “Hi.” Ciro’s voice came back, and this time, he moved. Sarah’s heart tried to run into her stomach, and she gasped for

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX “Is everything ok?” Sarah asked almost immediately Ciro dropped the call, as she saw the look on his face. “I have to go now, Sarah, it’s urgent,” Ciro said and started to walk toward the car. “Well, you can’t leave me here.” “That’s why you are coming with me, come on,” Ciro said to Sarah, without turning to look at her. Sarah hastened her steps in order to catch up with Ciro who had already hastened toward the blue Jaguar parked at a distance from the abandoned warehouse. While she was still behind him, and trying to catch up, she admired the brawny man from behind, smiling at how he had been his Knight in shining armor since she met him. “What a catch! Unbelievable.” “Did you say something, Sarah?” Ciro asked as he turned to look at Sarah who was mesmerized by his physique and personality, she had not taken so much time to closely observe Ciro. “Sarah?” “Hmm?” Sarah mumbled, suddenly getting out of her deep imagination, while she was just a few inches f

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINEAs soon as they got to the garage, Ciro wanted to bring out the car remote from his pocket, but on second thought, he decided to go with another car.He walked through the fleet of cars in the garage, while Catherine trailed him closely, and when he arrived at the Mercedes Maybach S-class Haute Couture, he took the key control from the stool close to the car and pressed on it, two beeping sounds followed immediately, and the light shimmering rose sleek car was unlocked. “I think I will be sitting there,” Catherine said almost immediately, as she grabbed the handle of the door in front and opened it before Sarah could get to it. Understanding the reason why Catherine had been in such a hurry to get to the garage, Sarah sighed softly, and then she opened the back door and went into the car, she sat down and immediately looked up, her eyes caught Catherine looking at her victoriously through the rearview mirror, and with a smirk on her face. “Really? Is this like a
