Chapter 49: Trouble At Home.
“Find him!” The leader of the guards yelled as he kicked down the hostel door and stormed inside. The men growled and scattered to different sections of the room, their eyes searching for something —someone.“He's not in here, boss!” One of the them said as they regathered.“Where's the guest that was here?” The leader spat at the hostel cleaner who was folding a white towel.“He checked out this morning,” The woman replied, her voice low.“That rat…” The man hissed and turned to the men. “Hurry to the airport. Find him quickly!”“Yes sir!”He brought out his phone and placed a call to Ryan. It connected on the third ring. “Sir, we didn't find Domenico,"“If you don't send me a picture of his dead body by the time the sun is down, I'll have your head,” Ryan snarled and ended the call.“Yes sir,” The man mumbled. He shoved the phone inside his pocket and hurried out of the room.*******Inside a slightly dark room, Domenico tightened his grip on the phone in his hand as he spoke. “You
Chapter 48: Who Gets Bitten?
“No, no, no, I…can't believe this…” Layla muttered in panic as she paced across the living room, her teeth digging into her fingernails. A bitter chuckle escaped her lips. “Nahhh... this cannot be how I go down,”Her fist tightened and she turned to the television, her eyes taking in the photos and videos of Ryan as he was dragged into the awaiting police van.The more she stared, the more the frustration rose up in her.She clenched her jaws. “That bastard…”“Mrs Layla, I believe…”“You're saying there's nothing that can be done to salvage this fucking situation?!” Layla turned harshly to the lawyer who sat in front of her. The man sighed and leaned back, as if thinking of how to word his response.“First, that bastard took all my slush funds money, and now this?” She let out a bitter hiss, shaking her head repeatedly. “I'm not just going to sit and watch him take everything,,”“The investigation might take a while, Mrs Layla. All his secret ledgers have been confiscated and it might
Chapter 47: Ryan Gets Played.
What?!Ryan could hear his chest explode in dread as his stomach clenched. His frown grew even deeper as he looked at the police men in total disbelief. He scoffed. Were they fucking kidding him?! Embezzlement? Fraud? What the hell?!“Officers, are you out of it? You cannot just walk in here and accuse me of something this heavy. This is a private room and —”“It's best you compile with the arrest as we have enough evidence to prove that you're involved in the mentioned crimes,” The head officer cut him short as he ordered this men. “Cuff him!"“What the fuck do you mean cuff me?” Ryan tried to resist, but the officers grabbed his hands, tightening the cuffs around him. “I've never embezzled, neither have I committed any of the crimes you're talking about!”“Shut up and move it!” The officer yelled, pushing him roughly.Layla stood up with a wild gasp as her hands flew to cover her mouth. She blinked rapidly. Was she dreaming? Maybe this was an hallucination that she'll soon wake up f
Chapter 46: You're Under Arrest.
Three days later.The investment hall was bustling with various activities as the guests stood in various sections, chatting and discussing amongst themselves. Ryan smiled at the massive arrangement as a feeling of pride swelled up inside him.Today was the day he sealed the deal with the investors and announce himself before the whole world.Besides him, Layla stood, her hands curled around his waist. She smiled. “I'm so proud of you, babe,”Ryan looked down on her with a warm smile. “You look gorgeous, my angel. I'm glad you're here by my side,”Layla nodded. “These entire people gathered here just for you? Phew, I'm so excited!”Ryan ran a hand through her hair. “I'm going to become one of the top company owners in this country after today. My profit would spike by 100% and I'll gain recognition and fame once more,” He smiled at her. “I was thinking, where should our next trip be, my love? Jamaica? Europe? Say the word and we're going there on a vacation on the first flight,”Lay
Chapter 45: Who Sent You.
As he said the words, Adrian wished the men would just take the cue and run away. Fighting these local thugs was the last thing he wanted to do. Honestly, they should have better things to do with their lives than engaging in punches. His eyes shifted to his phone again and his forehead creased. These silly bastards! Now, he was forced to teach them a lesson for breaking such an expensive device.“What're you waiting for, you fool! Get him!” The leader shouted as the other man brought out a small knife, charging towards Adrian.As he plunged the knife forward, the edge of it almost sliced through Adrian, but he was quick to dodge it, twisting the man's hand painfully until he heard a loud crack. The man yelped painfully, his voice sounding like an injured chicken. Irritated, Adrian pushed him and he landed on his butt against the floor.“I'm not sure the next person who tries to touch me will live to tell the story,” Adrian growled, his voice dangerous.“You're just a piece of shit,”
Chapter 44: A Fight In The Office.
Layla's phone was groggy over the phone. “What the hell is it?”“I just signed the deal with Domenico now," He smiled. "Gosh, I'm fucking excited. Guess what? He agreed to put the company in my name, so you could as well say I'm the legal owner of the company,” “He did that?” Layla said, but her voice fell flat, failing to carry the excitement she was feeling. “That's great news, I'm happy for you,”Ryan sighed. “I know you're worried about what happened to your restaurant. Don't worry, babe, we'll figure out how to deal with the slush funds and the restaurant,”“The restaurant is gone. The internet is blowing up with negative reviews and there are videos of me slapping myself in my own fucking restaurant,” She gritted, curling a finger under the sheets. "I'm so fucking embarrassed I want to dig a hole and bury myself,"“How do you want to make Adrian pay then?” Ryan replied. “You want to take his company or you want him to slap himself too? I can make it happen,”“What can you possi
