Chapter 144: A Mere Glimpse
“Let her go.”“Not yet. I’m not done with you, once I am, maybe I will finally let her leave until then, she stays here.”Maxwell narrows his eyes at him.“You know we all thought you were dead, especially when your family was attacked. And then suddenly, you appear again just ruining my plans over and over again,” Gilbert’s smile vanished instantly. “You should have listened to your father begging that I let your sisters stay alive but what was the use? They might decide to gang up against me but I think I made a mistake.”Gilbert smirked on seeing Maxwell’s hardened expression as he clenched his fists. “I should have sold them to merchants or kept them for my own entertainment. After all, what are pretty women good for? Entertainment yet and ownership that is why you have one. We are more alike than I think.”“I am nothing like you,” Maxwell said.“That’s what you think,” Gilbert said with a tilt of his head. “My father thought the same about your father and gave everything to him
Chapter 143: Maxwell’s Entry
Arabella noticed the changes in the atmosphere and for the first time since her kidnap, a surge of hope reignites in her heart. She didn’t know long she had been tied up here but she knew someone was coming for her. Gilbert sensed the shift in her expression and gave a knowing smile, he gave the tablet back to the men and said, “You can feel it as well. Maxwell was always going to come for you because that’s the kind of man he truly is. But don’t worry, my men here are still capable of holding down a commander.” He waved at the man to leave. “We just have to see just how prepared he really is. You were never the target dear, just the bait to bring your husband to me and now, my plans are slowly coming together.” Arabella stared at him blankly despite the turmoil going on in her head. Deep down, she still felt a surge of guilt down there. ‘How I wish I had listened to Maxwell,’ she thought. At that point, another guard rushes in. This time, his face was covered with panic, each s
Chapter 142: Comms Are Down
Arabella frowned slightly. For some reason, the smile on Gilbert’s face seemed unsettling more than the situation she was currently in. The man before her didn’t behave like a criminal, he behaved like his actions were already justified.Gilbert chuckled softly as he noticed her silence. “You’re analysing me, I guess. I can see it all over you.”His fingers tapped lightly against the whiskey glass.“Maxwell choose well.”Arabella’s jaw tightened. “What exactly do you want from him?”“Everything dear,” he smirked. “But don’t worry, I won’t harm him but that will depend on if he doesn’t prove to be stubborn like his father was…” “You know, I have watched you both for the longest time and I can say you really don’t know your husband or what he has been hiding away from you. Were you that daft not to notice subtle changes?” He asked with raised brow.Arabella’s lips pursed as she thought about his questions. Truly, she didn’t know much about her husband. Time had slowly begun to reveal t
Chapter 141: The Greens
“Sienna is gone,” Theodore said, descending down the stairs. His eyes widened at the little crowd in the living room.Men and women dressed up in military uniforms surrounding Maxwell who had a chilling, cold look on his face, as he stared directly at Theodore.“And… Arabella as well,” he added.“I’m aware,” Maxwell responded simply. “Go to work, Theodore.”“Why? My whole family is missing and you want me to go to work? I seem to the only one missing out on all the details right now. Can someone just tell me what’s going on?!”“Don’t speak to the commander in that manner!” Hardin said in a menacing tone.“Hardin,” Maxwell called out and the man backed away. Maxwell looked up at Theodore and said calmly, “Your wife decided to rope herself in with my enemies and took my wife down with her and I’m going to get her back but whatever happens, leave it to me to handle.”Theodore’s jaw twitched as he sighed. He knew how his wife could be but he didn’t know how Maxwell would handle this situa
Chapter 140: Gilbert Green
“Where is my mother?” Arabella asked.The man straightened up and snapped his fingers. Sienna and Mike entered into the room with another man behind them.“As you can see they are hale and healthy,” The man said with a cold smile.Arabella’s face brightened up a bit with relief on seeing them. “Mom, Mike…”Sienna glanced at her briefly and then at him. “You said you wouldn’t hurt her then why is she tied up? And besides, where’s the car you promised? I have brought her here haven’t I?”Arabella’s brows furrowed instantly. Brought her here?“Mom, what are you talking about?”Sienna plastered a smile and then slowly looked back at her. “Bella dear, please don’t be angry at mom. I had to choose between you and Mike and looking at you, you have enough money to bail yourself out of anything but Mike is alone and only has me. So I had to make this choice but trust me, it was too hard to choose between my children but I had no other alternative.”Arabella’s eyes widened in realization. Her
Chapter 139: A Pity
Arabella covered her mouth instantly as her blood ran cold. Her eyes filled with fear as she stared at the masked man, a deadly aura emanating from him. “Step down from the car, miss,” the man ordered. His cold voice sent a chill down her spine, and she found herself nodding as she opened the car door and slowly walked out of it. Surrounding her car were several men dressed in black, masked as well, each holding guns pointed at her. Her lips trembled as she stared at the sight. A soft whimper came from beside her. The masked man from earlier was holding her mother at gunpoint. “Arabella, please just do as they say!” Sienna cried, her body shaking with terror. “Pleas… please, let my mother go,” Arabella pleaded, her voice cracking. “Is it money you want? My credit card—” “We don’t need your money,” another said. “Just get into the car.” He pointed at the car in front of them. Arabella nodded as she heard one of them cock his gun. She swallowed hard as she walked towards the ca
