It was a dark night and there was a slight drizzle.
The car sped and weaved through the traffic towards the address on the note. Yael gripped the steering wheel tightly as he drove the car. His bloodshot eyes were focused and his deadly vibes filled the interior of the car. He thought about the way Vinna cried at the TM Villa.
Yael grinned and said softly, “I’m sorry to have disappointed you. Jack is the only one who gave me hope when I was at my darkest moment. I wouldn’t be here without him. He was also the one who saved my life repeatedly.”
“Although I, Yael, had killed my father, I still know how to be grateful. Jack is now missing and Amber had been abducted. It is my duty as his younger brother to save Amber. If I don’t protect Amber when Jack isn’t around, then how could I face him when he returns?”
He mumbled to himself as if he was trying to explain to Vinna. His sinister grin began to intensify. Yael looked down and straighten his clothes which had explosives tied to his waist and then declared softly, “Silly girl, I will marry you if I return this time.”
Though he said those words softly, its energy and determination were undeniable.
When Yael looked up again, his gaze was focused, determined and cold to the extreme. He turned on the radio and by coincidence, the radio station was broadcasting the song “Fate”. One of the lines of the lyrics seemed very appropriate for what was to happen, “Perhaps… it is fate.”
Yael gently patted his waist as his right foot floored the accelerator.
At the Hudson manor.
A manor sits next to a hillside forest. It was remote, tranquil, and nondescript. One particular villa was brightly lit.
George sat quietly in the wheelchair with a cigarette between his fingers. Though he was sitting quietly, his gaze and vibes were full of murderous intent. Behind him were eight bodyguards and there were thirty more well-trained guards spread out within his villa compounds. They were the most trusted men that he took with him when he left the Hughes residence. This team was also his only defense against the assassin squad.
Had it been the past, George would be dissatisfied with the level of protection but now he had accepted the situation and was calm about it. George had decided that he was willing to face death as long as he could kill Jack.
Not far away from George was Amber who sat on the sofa and was being bound tightly. Even her mouth was covered with duct tape and she couldn’t make a sound. Amber was totally disheveled. Her eyes were red and swollen from the crying and fear. Her face was slightly swollen and an imprint of a hand could be seen. She was slapped by George!
She tried to struggle free but the binds were too secure and she couldn’t break free.
“Tsk tsk…” George looked towards Amber and scoffed, “That bastard Jack is really fortunate to have married such a beautiful wife like you.” He said sheepishly while looking at Amber’s petite body.
Amber glared with her eyes wide open as she managed to force a muffled, “Hmph, hmph!”
George waved his hand with the cigarette and said, “Don’t worry, I’m not interested in pregnant women.”
On hearing, Amber felt more relieved and calmed down.
But the next moment, George laughed coldly which terrified Amber, “But my bodyguards would not mind if you are pregnant!”
Kaboom! It was as if a thunderclap exploded in Amber’s mind and she was instantly horrified. Suddenly, she stood up and tried to make a break for it.
But as soon as she tried to stand up and run, the bodyguards surrounded her and pushed her back onto the sofa. Amber continued to struggle and her muffled grunts could be heard. At this moment, she broke out in cold sweat and was totally hopeless and helpless.
‘Baby, hubby…’ she thought. In Amber’s struggles, she was sure that she was not going to make it out of there alive.
Smack! George slapped Amber across the face. Amber immediately collapsed onto the sofa by the strong slap. Her face stung in pain and she could not hide her intense fear and hopelessness.
She tried to curl into a fetal position. Her lips bled but because they were covered with duct tape, she was unable to spit out the blood. She suddenly started to choke from the bleeding.
Rip! George forcibly ripped off the duct tape over Amber’s mouth.
“Spew!” Fresh blood immediately sprayed from her mouth. Amber glared at George with raging hatred and spoke through her clenched teeth, “Even in death I will not let you get your way. My husband will kill you and ensure that you won’t rest in peace!”
“Ha! I already know that I won’t die in peace. So do you think that I’m worried about that bastard?” George raged furiously and then laughed sinisterly, “Rest assured that I won’t let my men touch you before Jack comes. Since I want revenge, then it must be done right. I will let Jack watch personally when my men ravage you!”
After he said, he grinned and slowly pointed to each one of them, “One, two, three…”
Amber ignored George’s count and sat stunned on the sofa as she thought, ‘Didn’t he know… that Jack was missing? Then who would come later?’
After a while, George finished counting and then raised both of his hands. He raised his hands up to his face and intentionally said scarily, “Oh gosh, there are over forty of them. Can you take it? This would be a big show!” He purposely emphasized the situation.
What he said stung Amber’s ears like countless needles and Amber immediately raged.
She glared with her eyes wide open and then yelled at George, “You’re despicable!”
“What? I’m despicable? Your husband commissioned the dark net assassin squad to kill me. How come I didn’t say that he is despicable?” George was not angry but laughed, “Since that Jack is so despicable, I need to keep up with him. You’d better be mentally prepared. Forty men will pleasure you and I’m sure your child will not be able to live through it. If you’re prepared for it, you may live through it and I’ll let you hug Jack when both of you die together.”
Amber began to shudder and her lips quivered with anger. She had never felt the intense desire to kill a person. She never even thought about harming a person but now she wanted so much to tear George from limb to limb.
Vroom, vroom…
At this moment, the roar of a car’s engine could be heard coming from outside.
A guard ran in and announced, “Master George, Jack is here.”
