Chapter 248 - 248: Unt.i.tled
Genius 248
A loud bang of the door falling on the floor has made Daniella and Evan got up. They looked at each other with complexity. He got up and picked up his clothes.
"They really waited huh!" he said with a sigh and handed Daniella"s clothes.
"Why your dress is so short and thin?" he asked as he put on his pant.
Daniella got up and scoffed, "wow! you are going to complain about it now? You certainly didn"t have a problem removing it earlier.
She pulled the pearl earing from her ears and asked Evan to move away from the gla.s.s wall.
"What are you planning to do?" he asked.
"There are only two floors down. We can jump and escape."
Confusion overtook Evan"s expression. He couldn"t understand why would they need to leave if their first plan was to stay and have a talk with Jared.
"Jared has sent a message that I should meet him in the casino alone. Police had just knocked down the door so we are being set up."
"How did you know they are the police?"
He could hear the voice and footsteps in the other room but none of them has said that they were police.
"Their voice sounded snappy and following an order to look around for us."
Then there was a knock on the door, "Evan Su. We know you are inside. You are being surrounded."
Daniella rose a brow in confusion. Why would that police ask for Evan and not her?
"We know you killed Kim. We have a warrant of arrest."
Daniella"s eyes swelled upon hearing it. How were they able to get the warrant that quick, especially where did they get the idea that Evan killed Kim.
Her breathing quickened as she tried to think of what was happening.
Set up!
That word rang in her mind. Seemed like Evan has been set up instead of her.
How?
She blew out a heavy breath one after another while the police outside gave the last warning.
Evan held Daniella"s wrists. He sat on the bed and pulled her next to him.
"Hey. I know what you are thinking."
"You are?" Daniella asked looking so surprise.
He nodded.
"I saw the message that Jared sent to you earlier. Meet him and ask him what he wants."
Daniella cupped his cheeks with her hands while shaking her head, "no. I won"t leave you, Evan," she bit her lips hard and blew out a sigh.
Then she tossed the pearl earring in her hand to the window. When it hit the gla.s.s, a low sound of an explosion sounded followed by the shattering gla.s.s.
"Go Evan. That police will bring me to Jared and they won"t hurt me so just go. I can take care of myself."
Evan momentarily shut his eyes. He almost forgot how stubborn Daniella was.
"Hey Daniella," he locked her hands with his and raised it closer to his lips.
He planted a quick peck and said, "trust me ok? I will go out there and call Glen. They won��t touch me. If I escape they will still look for me so we are just wasting our time. Meet Jared and ask him what he wants."
Just the thought of Evan behind the prison has made Daniella"s eyes teared up. She shook her head and sniffed. Definitely regretting her decision of meeting him.
"They are going to hurt you, Evan. They think you killed their boss," he voice broke down. She just couldn"t picture him getting beaten up.
Evan laughed. He rained her hands with little kisses while locking his eyes with hers.
"I like your hair" he whispered. As he watched Daniella"s tears falling down, he picked her up and locked her in the bathroom. Then he rushed out of the room.
His eyes swelled. There were around ten police pointing their guns at him. He raised both of his hands, then one of the police came closer and handcuffed him.
Daniella in the bathroom sitting on the floor covered her lips to prevent herself from crying out loud. It was her fault. She should have forced him to leave earlier.
When the sound outside disappeared. She let out a loud weep with shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
She sniffed and looked around the room. There was no sign of Evan and right now, she wasn"t even sure of what would happen to him.
Her weep went louder when she saw his tie on the floor. She picked it up and clenched it. Guilt was rushing over her. She had to have Evan, her stupid heart just won"t listen to her mind.
She knew how the police worked in this city. The whole city was being run by Jared and Kim so she was certain that they won"t give Evan a Netherlands style prison.
She took her phone out and dialled Glen"s number. When he answered, she told him the news and what really happened.
"Come here quick Glen. Please save Evan."
"I will. Look after yourself, Daniella. Remember, our son needs you."
Daniella"s eyes were closed even after Glen ended the call. Her heart gripped. She was so overwhelmed with her emotion earlier and now she didn"t even know what to do.
Without wasting time. Daniella ran to the casino. Short read hair messed up while her thick makeup was all over her face. She ran as fast as she could and barefoot. People in the street were looking at her strangely but she kept running like a puma chasing her prey.
When she reached the casino. She was out of air. Her chest rose and fell with rapid breathing while her eyes looked around searching for Jared.
"And I thought you had run away." From the dark corner, Jared appeared.
Daniella"s eyes were staring at him sharply. Right there and then, she wanted to rip him apart.
"You set me up." hands-on her side balled into fists, anger was flaring up her eyes.
"Yup. I was thinking of Peyton first but you were very quick to leave. So, I decided Ken but then, he is the only one I can do business in your country so that leaves me to Evan."
He raised his hand to show that gun he was holding
Daniella laughed, " So you went to all this trouble to kill me?"
Jared shook his head, "no. Daniella."
Daniella knew very well that Jared wasn"t here to kill her. She gulped hard and calmed down her body.
"Tell your man to not touch Evan. If I see a scratch on him. I won"t hesitate to bomb this city."
Jared gave her a lopsided grin, "that is the phrase I like to hear."
And with that, Jared pulled the trigger.
Daniella"s eyes swelled. She felt a pain in her chest as the bullet entered her body. She looked down, coughed hard when a sudden pain shook her body.
It wasn"t a bullet. It was a tranquillizer.
She giggled and pulled it out. "Stupid. Tranquilizer doesn"t work on me." then she threw it on the floor and took a step forward.
"I know," Jared said laughing, "that"s why I had my men put sesame extract in it."
Hearing that, Daniella looked at her hands. Her eyes widened upon seeing her nerves popping angrily while blood streamed down from her nose. Her eyes were also getting red and when she coughed, she spat nothing but blood.
As her eyes shut down, she saw Jared running towards her shouting, "what is happening? How many extracts did you put?"
Daniella completely shut her eyes, her body felt so weak. Before her conscious drifted, she felt someone carrying her.
