Chapter 199 - Genius 199: Found him
Genius 199:
Beads of sweat were forming in big pieces on Mark"s forehead as he stiffly sat on the wooden chair in the warehouse where Daniella kept her enemy.
He gulped hard and lowered his sight on his hands which were tied up with a rope on the armchair.
In front of him was Daniella with eyes narrowing like a hawk, her hands were holding an electric chainsaw roaring angrily.
"Tell me where your boss is and you can go home with a complete body."
Mark gulped hard. What had he done to deserve this? His eyes haven"t fully recovered and now he might even lose a part of his body.
"I don"t really know where he is."
His shoulders stiffened when Daniella walked one step closer to him. He was unsure whether it was real or not as her face was emotionless.
"Alright, left or right foot?"
Color faded on Mark"s face upon hearing it. He swallowed repeatedly. He really didn"t know what was happening. Evan hasn"t called him and before he left, he just ordered him to look after Daniella despite knowing that he hasn"t recovered. And right now, he might even lose one of his feet.
Daniella slumped her body on the ground, she didn"t need Evan"s whereabouts but she was bored and Mark was the first person she saw this morning.
Squatting on the ground, Daniella gripped her hair with her hands and buried her face on her knees.
"Ugh! I am bored!" she yelled and it echoed in the warehouse.
She raised her head and switched her eyes from Mark to the room where the two senators were still locked.
She took in a deep sigh, Roman Lee nor the president knew that she had the senators and she was not stupid to let them go. With all the torture they received from her she was certain that they will seek revenge.
"Let"s go, Mark," Daniella got up and turned around. She decided to do one thing women like to do.
"Where are we going Ms. Chen?" asked Mark.
Reaching the door, Daniella held the doork.n.o.b and squeezed her eyes shut for a moment.
"Shopping Mark, we are going shopping."
When the door shut, Mark gulped hard.
It seemed like Daniella forgot that he was still tied on the chair.
Since his feet were free, Mark got up. He walked with a bent body and chair on his back.
"Aish! I should really change job. This one doesn"t even have sick leaves."
Waiting outside, Daniella crossed her arm over her stomach, she could see the surrounding, something changed. She was uncertain if it was just her but the ambiance around was making her skin shiver.
Her heart thumped with indescribable fear. Something was wrong she could feel it. She clutched her chest and looked at the man approaching her.
She rose a brow, her mind was in so much mess she forgot that Mark was still tied up.
Immediately, she rushed to him and freed his hands.
"I am sorry," she said flashing an awkward smile.
Ma.s.saging his wrists, Mark smiled at her. He rarely saw her in a close range but he was always mesmerized by her beauty.
"It"s alright Ms. Chen," he opened the door of the backseat for her, "don"t worry, for sure Mr. Su is planning a surprise for you," he was not even worried about his boss. He witnessed how much he loves Daniella so he"s certain that there"s a reason why Evan was not contacting her.
Daniella shrugged a shoulder in response. She sat in the backseat and looked at the window with the same fear eating her heart.

Ken"s head tilted when he arrived at the SU villa. The maids informed him that Daniella was not in the villa, and said that she went somewhere.
He blew a sigh and looked around. The villa looked so empty in his eyes despite the maids and guards roaming around.
He decided to wait, but time pa.s.sed and no Daniella came.
--
At the mall.
Mark"s eyes widened when he realized that they were walking towards the children"s section. People around kept looking at Daniella and him probably a.s.suming that they were a couple.
Daniella halted when she reached the boy"s section. She picked up one of the red polo shirts with a small word on the right chest printed as "mommy"s boy"
Her lips curved a smile, she picked one and proceed to the next aisle.
Mark bobbed his head in confusion, wondering who was the t-shirt for. He kept following her, while she kept pa.s.sing the clothes to him.
When they were done and the clothes were paid, Daniella smiled at Mark but her smile couldn"t reach her eyes. It was an empty smile but enough to make one feel at ease.
"You should visit Scarlet. I heard her new bodyguard it hot!" she winked at him teasingly, and by the thought of her lovely friend, her smile widened and became sweet.
Mark gulped hard; he knew who Daniella was talking about. It was one of his friends whom he went on training with. But he was not worried, as he knew the man. He was not aware of what happened to his brother Dexter who now called Scarlet. If he knew what she was beaten up and locked up, he would have saved her but he was too focused on his boss"s girlfriend that he didn"t have time to look after his own family.
Daniella"s eyes gloomed as she watched the pain in Mark"s eyes. So she pressed her hands on his chest and pushed him away.
"Go, I am going to visit someone and I won"t come back to the Villa until Evan comes back. So," she paused to smirk, "if your boss asked about me, tell him to find me."
She s.n.a.t.c.hed the bags from him and turned around. Walking straight to the exit and stopped the first taxi that pa.s.sed by.
Mark scratched his hair, his boss"s girlfriend was indeed weird. As he walked towards the car, suddenly Ken Chu came running towards him.
Ken was out of breath, he just got down from the car and ran towards the man whom he recognized to be one of Evan"s security.
It took some time before he was able to get in touch with his people who were following Daniella and when he got the location, he rushed to the mall.
"Where is that short woman?" asking that he bent down and peeked at the window of the car parked next to him. He opened the door but found no one inside.
"You mean Ms. Daniella?"
Ken nodded, resting both hands on his h.i.p.s he looked around hoping for the woman to show up.
"She just left," he said pointing at the side road where Daniella took the taxi.
Ken"s lips parted in disbelief. His head shook slowly while his hand took out the phone in his pocket.
"Where is she?" he asked the people over the phone.
Shortly, Ken turned around to leave.
"Do you need something from Daniella?" Asked Mark, baffled.
Ken shook his head, "I am bored and why are you not with her?" he replied glaring at him.
"She said I can go," he answered back coldly. He was not frightened of Ken Chu, after knowing what he had done to his brother he felt nothing but anger towards him but he was still his boss friend and Evan has helped him too much for him to hurt his friend.
"Do you know how dangerous it is to leave her alone?" he roared.
Mark gulped hard, hands-on his side clenched into fists. He knew how dangerous it could be but his boss told him to follow Daniella"s request.
He was about to speak when he realized that Ken has disappeared in front of him. He signed in defeat, Ken and Daniella were so similar, that must be the reason why Ken Chu always seek for her attention.

A taxi stopped in front of the orphanage. Daniella came out of the taxi and looked at the old gate in front of her.
This was her home after her family died. Her heart gripped by all the memories she had in there, there were pain, sadness, and happiness. She remembered James, the nuns and the kids who bullied her before. Some stayed while some left and she was one of the people that left.
With a hole and confusion in her heart, she walked inside.
It was the same place as she remembered, though the walls were full of molds and spiders, the gra.s.s was taller showing that it has not been trimmed for some weeks.
Her lips stretched in a smile when she saw a woman wearing a nun uniform walking towards her with shock on her face.
"Sister Vicky," she called out the nun.
"What are you doing here?" surprise was in the nun"s voice as she said that.
Daniella gulped hard, beads of tears fell from her round eyes as she ran towards the nun.
"What happened?"
Daniella went silent letting her confusion form into tears.
"I have found him," Daniella said with a broken voice while the tears in her eyes fell like falls.
"Who?" the nun questioned, confused.
"The boy in the cave. I - I found him."
Hearing that, the nun placed both hands on Daniella"s shoulder and stared at her eyes in disbelief.
"Really?"
Daniella nodded, "yes, and we have a son."
