Chapter 58
Angel glanced briefly at Gratel and looked away."I don't know what you're talking about.” She spoke in defense but her friend did not believe her.Angel quickly opened the elevator and got inside it while her friend followed behind.“I'm still waiting for a response from you. Tell me what you did." Gretel probed further but Angel kept denying it."I didn't do anything, please give me a break.” Angel kept denying everything until they got into Gratel's apartment.When she saw that her friend was not giving up, she decided to tell Gratel the truth.“Look, Gratel. You're the only one I'm telling this to so don't say it outside." “Ok, I'm listening." “I staged the kidnap." Angel confessed and left her friend stunned. With her mouth open, she stared intently at her friend for a while, wondering the kind of person she was.“How could you do such a thing? And for what reason?" Gratel kept trying to comprehend what Angel just told her.She staged her own kidnap."I already told you that I

As their eyes met, Gratel swallowed hard and turned her face away. She decided not to speak further.Gratel felt Maxwell's gaze on her and when she turned to look at him, she saw him sizing her up.Maxwell's gaze was cold as he stood aloof, glaring at the young lady who was obviously uncomfortable from his gaze.After a long pause, he muttered in a deep hoarse voice. “Uh, I guess I misjudged you. I should have listened to you when you came to make the report.”"Well, Angel is safe now and that's all that matters.” Maxwell gave her one last look before turning to Angel."Come on, let's get you to the hospital for a check up.” He muttered and got back into the car.“Come with me, please." Angel said to her friend, giving her a pleading look. Gratel wanted to refuse her but had no other choice as Angel continued to probe her.“Ok, fine." Gratel rolled her eyes before adding. “I'll follow you but you must give me every detail of all that happened." “Of course, that's not a problem. I was

His reaction at that moment meant that he was feeling Angel's pain.After a while, he lifted his head and locked eyes with her before muttering. “Tell me the bastards who did this to you. What really happened?" Maxwell believed that they were two or more people because one person won't be able to pull off such a kidnap.Maybe one person could do it. It depends on how capable the person was.“Tell me who did this to you." He repeated himself and Angel feigned a sad sigh.She shook her head a few times before replying. “I don't know any of them. They were all putting on masks and there was no way I could see their faces with my eyes tied." Angel lied. She was not finding it funny and at that moment, all she was feeling was sadness.She was also feeling guilty about what she did.Maxwell truly cared about her and there was no need pulling off that stunt.He was just waiting for the right time to loosen up and be free with her. They could even start as friends and proceed to elevate the

For a moment, Maxwell was completely dumbfounded when he heard Angel's voice.He hadn't heard it in days and felt bad for neglecting and ignoring her.“Are you ok? Hope you haven't been harmed by that son of a bitch.” Maxwell found his voice and inquired while cursing Hector.“I'm ok, for now. Although, I don't know how long I'll be fine.” Angel muttered in a very low voice. She had sensed the worry in Maxwell's voice and almost laughed but had to pull herself together.All she did was just smile while pretending to be in distress.“Just hang in there. I'm going to do something about it and you'll be safe soon." “Tell me, have you eaten anything?" Maxwell was still speaking when he heard a voice that was not Angel's.“Do you want to come over here and feed him, lover boy.” Hector teased him but Maxwell was not taking it funny."Hey, you son of a bitch. I'm going to find you and put you in your place if any harm comes to her.”"I'm giving you one hour to get my money ready, else I won

“Thank you so much, Officer. I'll be on my way now. However, don't hesitate to let me know of any developments. And please, don't keep anything from me." Maxwell added, glanced at all the men at the place before leaving.He got into his car and instructed Andrew, his driver. "Just drive and follow my directions.”"Yes, Sir.”He was going to the Morgans' home to confront them. Maxwell had a feeling that they're behind the kidnapping attempt on him.They were midway to the Morgans' Villa when his phone began to ring. It was a strange number and he hesitated before answering the call."Hello, this is Maxwell Hunt speaking. Who's on the line?”The caller was silent for a while, getting Maxwell impatient and angry as well.“If you're not going to say anything then I'll have to hang up the call now.” Maxwell was about to end the call when the caller finally spoke up.“Maxwell Hunt. I'm sure it'll interest you to know that I have your friend here with me.”"What friend are you talking about
Chapter 53
Maxwell learned that Gratel had made a report that morning about Angel who she believed was missing.“A young lady came here earlier before you and have made a report. She also claimed to be a friend to the missing lady." The policeman had said to him and he quickly deduced that it must be Gratel.After making the report, the police promised him that they'd work on the case.Maxwell and his driver left afterwards and were on their way to the horse riding facility where Wyatt had been waiting for him.Wyatt loves riding horses and has an intention of introducing the culture to Maxwell.Since he was the only friend that Maxwell has, he intends to influence him.Maxwell has lived all his life in penury even when living with his wealthy inlaws.He had to work like a servant and was not exposed to certain luxury.Before his marriage with Valerie, Maxwell stayed with the other servants. And even after he got married to Valerie, he wasn't allowed to stay in the same room with her.The couple
