"Who are you and what do you need from me?" Lisa"s lips trembled in fear. It was when the woman pushed her inside the van."You, I- I thought you are a friend!" she shouted in dismay. If only she heeds Caleb"s reminder. But why is she being targeted anyway?
"You"ll know it soon." The woman answered.
After some more minutes, they arrived in a lone villa of a certain forest. All the security personnel that she saw seems to be professionally skilled. If she plans to escape the place, then she doesn"t have a chance at all. They"ll easily find her as soon as she steps her foot outside.
They pushed her inside the house. She hesitantly walked inside but her mind is in chaos. What if they"ll kill her? worst! What if they"ll **** her too? She held her breath. Her heart was beating wildly. No! she still has a lot of dreams in life.
Then she remembered Caleb. She was planning to call him when she realized that she doesn"t have her phone. Ah! She left it inside her room! She panicked even more.
"Are they going to put me in a prison? Or in a dungeon?" her mind run into many possibilities. But to her surprise, the men accommodate her in a nice cozy room.
"Wait! Am I a captive or a lost princess?" she still has guts to joke within her mind. Then she heard the door locked.
"Wait! Why did you bring me here?" she yelled but the men shut the door before her. "d.a.m.n! That was hars.h.!.+" she sighed.
She inspects the room; every furniture is sure expensive. She went near the window as she looked out. Did she just spotted someone on the rooftop? Hmm, who could that be? She caressed her jawline. She was busily looking at the mask man, no it"s a woman!
Then after a minute she heard a kid"s voice. Eli? Wait! No! It couldn"t be him.
she looked down but she can"t see enough. Was that Eli? she was in deep thought. After a minute, the door to the room opened. She was stunned to see Eli trembling in fear. her eyes widened.
"Eli!" she run towards the crying child.
"Aunt Lisa!" Eli started to sob loudly. He needs to release his fear.
"It"s okay. don"t be afraid, Aunt Lisa is with you." she caresses his back. Eli nodded. Then they heard the door banged.
Lisa bought Eli in the bed, they sat on the side. Lisa can"t show her fear anymore. She needs to be strong for Eli.
"Where is your father? Did they take him too?" Lisa calmly asked but Eli shook his head.
"Ah, if that"s the case then it"s good. He will definitely look for us." She gave out a comforting smile. "Don"t worry, your daddy Ethan is strong!"
"Ehm!" Eli nodded then he wiped his tears away. Yes! his daddy will definitely save them.
***When Aisha climbed up the rooftop earlier, she spotted a place where they can possibly escape. Then she remembered that he dialed a number earlier. Hope she will make it in time.
And also, she already attached some of the time bomb everywhere.
Then she remembered Eli. When she saw Eli crying earlier, she was about to storm in but she ceased. She can"t blow up their plan, not until her companion comes. She"ll be needing that woman"s help.
When she saw that Eli entered the house, she was about to follow but she halted when she heard a familiar voice.
"Ethan?" she looked down. "How come?" she thought.
"Remove his blindfold." Another man spoke with authority. He just came out from the house.
His men removed the blindfold. Ethan took time to adjust his eyesight. After a minute, he looked up.
"You! how dare you!" Ethan curled his fist. The man laughed to his heart"s content.
"Long time no see, Ethan. How are you?" the man chuckled.
"Where"s my son?" he threatened the man.
"Relax. He"s safe."
"Why are you doing this, Rogue?! Why did you even come back!"
"Nothing. I just needed to see someone. Am I not even allowed to?"
"You son of a b.i.t.c.h! Let him go right now or I will kill you!"
"Oops… I"m trembling in fear." He was mocking Ethan then he laughed. Ethan was about to attack him but one of Rogue"s men punch his stomach. He coughs some blood.
"Ohh… gross." He approached Ethan slowly, "You are actually my target, but that old man is a little crazy for wanting that woman instead. Too bad she bought you more harm than good." He clutches Ethan"s jaw. How he loves to crush this man before him but he must control his desires.
"Woman? what do you mean?" Ethan creased a brow.
"Oh? You didn"t know? Wait, let me recall the name. I think it was STACY? Or should I say the other twin."
"You!"
"Didn"t you know about her? I thought you spent months with her? I don"t think your that stupid not to notice their difference!"
Ethan glared at him murderously.
"Oops! Don"t tell me you didn"t know?" he made a taunting face.
"She"s dead!"
"Oh, do you really believe that? Hha!" He burst, "Let"s see. My old man actually wanted to meet her so badly that"s why we need your help."
"What do you mean?"
"You"ll see. but you should make yourself comfortable for the time being before my old man comes." Before he left, he faces his men.
"Bring him to his room."
The men pulled him by force. When he reaches the room, he looked around. Wait! Where"s my son! Bring me to my son!" he roared but the men ignored him and shut the door loudly.
Ethan was enraged. Unknown to them, he hid another phone in his shoes. the men captured his phone earrlier when he entered the van. he already thought about that that"s why he needed to have an emergency phone.
He brought it out then sent a text message to Larry.
"Locate my location and make sure to notify Shawn as soon as possible." As soon as he sent the message, he hides it again. Now he needs to wait for his men, but who was the old man that Rogue was referring to?
What did he mean when he said that he is not the main target? Did he just say that they wanted that woman? but why? how did they know her? What"s their connection? So they know that she"s not dead yet? they really believed that she"ll show up because of Eli and Him, well, they guess it right.
The woman that they are saying was actually inside the Villa already. Ethan was able to see her shadow lurking on the rooftop earlier.
*** Aisha finished placing all the bombs on their designated place. That man who was talking to Ethan earlier, resembles the man she once met in j.a.pan before. But he can"t be here! The last news she heard about him was that he is busy managing his grandfather"s mafia organization in j.a.pan after she turned down the marriage proposal.
That old man was so angry at Aisha"s daring att.i.tude during that time so he cut off his long time relations.h.i.+p to Demetrius. The Hayato Family are well-known in j.a.pan. They also have the biggest Mafia organization so it affected the Mikasa group so much when they cut their ties.
Aisha shrugged that memory. That"s not important anymore, she should focus on saving Ethan, Eli, and Lisa even if it"ll cause her life.
After some more minutes, Ethan heard a loud thud outside his room. what happen outside? He kept twisting the doork.n.o.b, then it suddenly opened. He saw the two guards lying on the floor. he looked at the surrounding, no one is there so he pulled the men inside, tied them up then took their guns. He locked the door from the outside. Then he treks the hall to look for Eli.
He was about to open one room when the room opposite him opened. He was surprise.
"Eli?" Ethan cried.
"Daddy!" he shouted as he happily run to meet him. Lisa came out with a mask woman with them.
Unfortunately, some of the men heard the little boy"s shriek. d.a.m.n! They got their attention. Now, men were flocking towards them.
