By evening of the following day, Natasha and Fernando sat opposite each other. Although she didn’t really feel comfortable with this dinner, she still had to go ahead with it, for she had promised him the day before that she would go on a date with him this evening.
“So Natasha, tell me about yourself,” Fernando said merrily, biting the chicken with his protruding long teeth. He eats shabbily, so to speak. So much for being a professional doctor.
“I’m a graduate of law as you already know.” Natasha answered briefly. Everything about her says that she doesn’t want to be here.
“Hahaha… Nice, “Fernando said, “see that picture over there.” Natasha turned her head to see the Beau painting on the wall, the restaurant had used it in decorating their building.
Before Natasha could turn her head back, Fernando was done doing what he wanted to do.
“Won’t you ask me about myself?” Fernando asked with a broad smile.
Natasha frustratingly gulped up all the contents of the wine beside the food. “Listen Fernando, I really appreciate what you did for me yesterday but I do not want to be here.”
“Why not? I thought you do not have a boyfriend? You are a single mother,” he said to Natasha’s surprise.
“Have you been stalking me?”
Fernando smiled and sipped from the wine before him, “Natasha, for months now, you are all that occupy my head. Thinking about you alone gives me so much joy. I just can’t get you out of my head.”
“Well, you have to. I’ll have to be straight with you, you and I… can never work.” Natasha said. She didn’t know she was this beautiful. It seems most men find her really attractive.
“And I do not mean to ruin this dinner but I do not have the appetite to continue eating this food.” Natasha said.
“That’s okay, at least, you came out with me. I know I’m ugly…” Fernando said in a sad tone.
Natasha exhaled. She was about to ask to leave when she suddenly felt a rumble in her stomach. She thought it was normal at first but it became very intense. She held her stomach so tight, “excuse me!” She managed to say and then quickly found her way to the toilet. Some people had to even look at her with the way she had to arc her back while moving swiftly towards the toilet.
Fernando smirked, this wasn’t his intention, he genuinely loved Natasha but he knew that Natasha would never consider him an option because of his ugly look. Fernando grew up to have an inferiority complex and had been rejected by more than fifteen women he genuinely likes. But he wasn’t about to get rejected by Natasha especially when there’s a beautiful monetary offer lingering in the air.
Fernando cleaned his mouth with the handkerchief and stood. He secretly glanced around to be sure there wasn’t much attention on him, afterwards, he proceeded to the female’s toilet. It didn’t take him much time to see Natasha, leaning on the wall of the toilet, it’s apparent she was struggling hard to stay alive.
Fernando licked his lower lips, as he lust greatly after her body. “If I can not have you, can I at least have your body?” He mumbled. He then went over to her and helped her, placing her right hand over her shoulder.
Soon, he was walking outside with her. He soon opened the door of his Audi and smuggled her into the backseat. He excitedly went to the driver’s seat and started the ignition at once. As he drove, he placed a call across to Violet who answered at once.
“She’s in my car as I speak.”
“All I need is the video.” Then Violet hung the call up.
Soon, Fernando got in front of his apartment. Then he took her out of the car, about to take her inside, a car drove speedily and parked right behind his car.
The attention of the overspeeding car caught the attention of Fernando so he turned towards the expensive looking car, wondering who the hell this was.
Then the door of the newly arrived car opened and his mouth opened ajaw when he saw the person that stepped down.
“Mr. Huxley,” Fernando called. Huxley was just as popular during the time that he was at the top. Although his family had been brought down by Dmitry Pushkin, nonetheless, it was still not difficult for Fernando to recognize him.
“What are you doing with her?” Huxley asked as she approached him. For he had been keeping eyes on Natasha.
“We went out for dinner together and she seemed to… maybe get drunk, I can’t really say precisely.” Fernando answered.
“You will leave her to me,” Huxley said in a commanding tone.
Fernando scoffed. If it were to be months ago, Fernando would cower before him for his family were on top of the social ladder but as it seems, he’s worth nothing. Not only is his family killed ruthlessly by Raul Jago, all their assets were freezed.
“I don’t know why you are here, but I think you should leave,” Fernando said.
Huxley nodded and looked away. As he turned back his gaze, he realized that Fernando was already helping Natasha further to the entrance of his room. He walked swiftly to him and punched him hard in the face.
Fernando found himself seeing stars, he staggered and lost hold of Natasha. Before Natasha could fall, Huxley carried her and took her inside his car. Before Fernando could come after Huxley, he had already driven off.
Huxley took Natasha to a hotel. The hotel receptionist didn’t bother asking Huxley why the lady that was with him seemed unconscious. It was because Huxley had just bought a share at the hotel. He had gotten into stealing lately and he had been becoming successful for it.
Since it’s impossible for him to make it up to the top legally, he decided to go the illegal route. Soon, he threw Natasha inside the room he just entered. Natasha, at this point, had totally lost consciousness. The drug that Fernando had put inside her drink when she looked away was so powerful.
Huxley then went ahead to take his bath, while mumbling, “this night will be a long night, Natasha.”
Whereas, as soon as Fernando realized that his plan had failed. He knew he couldn’t tell Violet about his failure, she would be so disappointed so he decided on a new plan. He then called Yuri and reported to him that he had seen Huxley carting Natasha away.
When Dmitry heard of this, he spoke simply, “he’s her ex husband, they may have scores to settle.”
For Dmitry was at this time had just finished taking a hot shower.
“I can track her location if you let me,” Yuri said.
“You may go ahead. If it’s something you can handle, just do it without involving me. I need to rest.” He said and dismissed Yuri.
Dmitry then laid on the bed with eyes closed. He tried to sleep but it wasn’t coming forth. Instead, all he was seeing was Natasha in danger. He intentionally didn’t want to put much thought into it because he had helped Natasha a number of times already and if the woman has any more problems, she can handle it herself.
The actual reason why he had been coming through for the woman wasn’t because he was kind and generous, far from it. It was because he just can’t stand it when she’s in danger. And even now, he’s lost his peace and is unable to sleep. No woman had ever had this effect on him. At least, in the past decade.
Dmitry sat upright after a while. He didn’t know how many seconds had passed but now that he gave it a thought, Huxley had actually kidnapped Natasha before. Although he didn’t punish Huxley because he kidnapped Natasha, he had gone hard on Huxley cause he dared to kidnap his sister. Because of Huxley’s foolish act, he lost all his entire family and assets, leaving with nothing. Not even a reputation.
Dmitry picked his cell phone and then called Yuri, the call got answered and an unfamiliar voice came through, “Yuri is in my custody.” The person speaking was clearly Huxley.
Although Dmitry didn’t recognize his voice, it wasn’t so hard for him to guess. But the fact that he will be talking directly with Huxley disgust him so he hung the call up. As far as he’s concerned, Huxley was too lowly to have a conversation with him.
Dmitry concluded thatHuxley must be looking for ways to die, otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to pay hands on Yuri.
While thinking of how to make Huxley’s death painful, his phone began to ring. And it was from Yuri. It seems Huxley wants to speak to him so bad, he refused to answer the call.
He then stood and went to dress. After he was done dressed in his suit, he picked up his phone and realized a message had been sent from Yuri, “boss, my wife had also been kidnapped by Huxley’s men.”
Dmitry refused to reply and he was totally unbothered. Dmitry knew Huxley was acting that way because he had nothing else to lose apart from his life.
Dmitry then called Kenji who was now back at the city. Dmitry went to his study room and drew his keyboard forward; in a few minutes, he had tracked Huxley’s location.
Seeing that the location was in a hotel, Dmitry’s mind went wild. Could he be assaulting or molesting Natasha?
Then he called the underworld and commanded, “Send three hundred men to Arisom’s hotel. I don’t want anyone leaving or coming in!”
