The Strongest Husband

Chapter 3: How many people did you tell what you saw?

Anthony recalled what he had seen in the enclosed parking lot in the company he worked in and knew it must be what the man was inquiring about.

“I...I only called the police and told them and they did not arrive even after six hours. I didn't tell anyone else what happened." Anthony told the truth, because he knew that lying would only anger the man , since he was sure they had his company ID card.

“Why did you go to the parking lot?” He asked Anthony.

“My boss asked me to get a gift bag from his car boot.” Anthony replied immediately, his eyes were still on Amelia.

“Lying to me would have a lot of consequences, so are you sure it's only the police you called?" The man's baritone voice rang in his ear and Anthony nodded, as he looked at the man.

“Yes, I only told the police about this, I didn't say a word to anyone else, please let her go. This is all my fault , you can just do anything to me, but please let her go.” Anthony pleaded in a desperate voice as Amelia's eyes widened in horror that a gun was pointed at her head.

It was something that had not happened before, so she was terrified.

The muscular man scoffed.

“You are stupid enough to call the police and tell them about what you saw. Do you think we would let you go?" He asked him in a condescending tone.

“But the police never came to investigate what happened. I am sure you had something to do with this. I will keep my mouth shut and not tell anybody about this, I will leave this country if you want, please just let her go."Anthony pleaded again.

“Sure." The muscular man replied ,as he was slowly bringing his gun down and relief washed over Anthony's face.

“You thought that's what I was going to say , well that's too bad." The muscular man said, as he pointed the gun at Amelia head and Anthony ran towards them when he heard the silenced sound of a gun.

Pow!

It was more like a small bang and Amelia's eyes widened involuntarily ,as blood gushed out from the side of her head the gun was pointing at.

“No! Amelia!" Anthony cried out, as he was getting closer to her and her eyes were slowly closing.

Bang!

Anthony gasped in shock, when something hard impacted the back of his head and he felt light-headed and stopped running as he struggled to stand erect.

“Amelia. " he whispered as pain filled his head, he stretched out his hand towards her.

Bang!

Another hit on his head and it made him fall down as his phone fell with him, facing the phone torch upwards, bringing more light to the room ,as he felt his head was so heavy and his eyes struggling to stay open.

Anthony saw someone stand beside him with a bloody baseball bat.

“What should we do with the rest?" The voice faintly asked.

“Kill them."The muscular man answered, Anthony tried his very best to stand up and fight, he was beginning to stand up despite the pain, however his efforts were in vain when the second man holding a baseball bat kicked his stomach knocking out the breath from his mouth, as he fell with a thud.

“That kick to your stomach was for the punch to my face earlier today, you shithead.” Anthony heard faintly as his strength was slowly leaving his body and his eyes were blurry.

Pow!

Pow!

Anthony heard two times , as his eyes finally closed.

“Is he dead?" The muscular man asked his teammate who swatted down to Anthony's level and put his finger under his nose and felt his breath.

He stood up.

“No, the cheeky bastard is still alive and well ,what should we do now?" He asked the muscular man who was their leader.

“Just as we planned. " The muscular man replied and his teammate clicked his tongue in annoyance ,not liking the answer he was given.

“Are you sure this will work ,shouldn't we just kill him and get this over with? "The man with the baseball bat asked, as he didn't understand why Anthony was still kept alive.

He really wanted to kill Anthony because Anthony's punch gave him a bloody nose and he passed out, he got his revenge but he still ached to cause more pain than Anthony.

“Killing him would raise more suspicions, let's just go." "The muscular man replied ,as the three men cleared all evidence of them being there and arranged everything as they planned, they were about to walk out, when the muscular man who is the leader noticed the bag Anthony was holding.

“What is that in his hand? "He asked, as he bent down to check the contents of the bag , he opened the bag and shone the torch light he was holding on the box he was holding and he gritted his teeth.

“What is that?"His teammate asked ,as he took a look at the box.

“A pregnancy test...oh shit, that lady might have been pregnant, oh well it's done already, let's leave, i don't want to spend more time here." he said with a shrug.

“It's his fault for being at the wrong place at the wrong time." The muscular man said, as he stood up and tossed the box on the floor.

“Oh right, you are going to be a Father..."

“That's enough , let's go, what a shame we can't say no to our job." He said as he glanced at Amelia , shook his head and they walked out of the apartment door and left.

*** Frank Corporation***

A tall man was standing close to the transplant glass walls, as he was staring at the cars moving at high speed and the beautiful city lights.

He had his phone placed on his ears ,as he was silent as the caller was telling him what had occurred.

“So, it is done?" He finally asked when the caller was done speaking.

“Yes sir, It's done and everything has been arranged properly, you don't have to worry about it anymore." The caller answered reverentially and the corner of the man's lips upturned ,as an evil smile formed on his face.

“Did he tell you who sent him or did he confess to telling anyone what happened?" He asked in concern as a deep frown formed on his face.

“No sir, till the end he said that he did not tell anyone about what happened except the police and he was just sent on an errand by his boss," The hitman replied and the man tilted his head to the side.

“Oh, I guess I will also ask some questions to his direct boss." He said.

"If he is telling the truth, I guess you can say he was at the wrong place at the right time." He sighed audibly as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

“This is a bother." He clicked his tongue in annoyance.

“So what do you think is going to happen to him tomorrow?" He asked.

“Don't worry sir, no matter how hard he tries he will not get away with this." The hitman reassured his boss.

The answer brought a smile to the man's face.

“I know, this is for the best, he would learn to not go to lonely places from now on, everyone should have been working on the important project , oh well, keep an eye on what is happening ,if any other things happens eliminate all suspects." He told the caller.

“Yes sir , I understand." The caller answered and the call ended.

The man put his phone into his pocket, as he shoved his hands into his pocket and tilted his head to the side.

“Lowly peasant, you won't be my downfall, I will eliminate every obstacle in my way, until I reach the top." He smirked with a triumphed look on his face.

No matter how Anthony tried to run,he couldn't.

It was over.
