When Aiden woke up, all he saw was an empty room. All of a sudden he felt like something was not right! He came out of the room and suddenly felt very lonely and the silence killed him.
He shouted, "where is everyone? Why are you all sleeping in such broad daylight?"
Every one of his subordinates stood in a straight line except Axe. Looking at one another in surprise, they thought isn't it completely dark outside? But why did their boss say otherwise! Anyways, whatever their boss says is always right, so they just kept quiet.
Looking at the faces of his subordinates, Aiden got even more irritated. He was missing something or someone but he could not point it out! His whole mind went blank all of a sudden and went inside that room once again.
When he realized what he smelled inside that room, made him calm down his nerves, he immediately went out and ordered his subordinates.
"Bring the girl whom you captured today! Find her and warn her to not roam around as she wishes."
His subordinates went to search the whole area but even after searching for more than an hour, they could not find the girl. When Aiden saw every one of them came alone, his anger raised to its peak.
"We have so many people here but you could not even find a defenceless girl? Maybe it's time for some vigorous training!! Every one of you is lagging behind a lot. Are you trying to spoil the name which I created long back and show to the world that we are now unworthy that we couldn't even find a small girl??" Aiden roared.
"Did anyone check the dungeon??" Axe asked.
By the time he left Elina at his home and came back, he saw everyone was searching for something, so he just joined the group in the middle and pretended that even he was searching. As he didn't want anyone to know he was missing for sometime before, he couldn't get the courage to ask what they were searching for!
Once he noticed that everyone was going back to their position, he just joined in the middle and pretended like he was there from earlier. But when he heard his boss mention the girl, he started sweating!!
He thought instead of delaying his death, he just pushed it even more forward. He cursed Elina in his heart. So with fear visible in his voice, he asked if anyone checked the dungeon.
When Aiden saw who spoke, he looked at him with hatred. Axe felt like he would be done for today, at least he should have warned his sister that he might die today and also where he kept the emergency funds. Is it too late to go back and tell his sister now??
Aiden ordered half of his men to go to the dungeon but when Axe tried to join them, he went near him and kicked on his leg. Axe knelt down and didn't dare to look up. He just waited silently for his head to be chopped. In his heart, he bid goodbye to his sister and once again cursed Elina and even vowed that he would return as a ghost to torture her for the whole life.
But whatever he awaited did not happen, instead, Aiden asked, "Aren't you the one who was with that girl before??"
Axe shivered but before he could respond someone came with the footage for that day and said, "Boss, I checked the footage and Axe is the one who last saw her"
Axe almost had his heart in his hands. He hurriedly responded, "Boss, she just asked me for the way to the washroom. And all I did was show her the way and later as it was my turn for cleaning the kitchen, I went over there. I even told her there is one inside that room but she said she didn't want to wake you up, so I took her to the east wing."
"Yes, that's true. The girl went inside the washroom and he went into the kitchen." Sam explained. When he saw his boss searching for the girl Sam immediately went to the surveillance room and got the footage.
As per the plan, Axe left Elina near the washroom and he explained the blind spots to her clearly before leaving to the kitchen. He did his work for five minutes but later he left through the back door. From there he picked up Elina and as she said she didn't have anywhere to go, he just took her to his place.
But if anyone saw more than five minutes of the footage, he would get caught immediately. Just hoping that he would not get caught, he just put his head down and kept on kneeling.
Aiden's face became solid rock when they returned from the dungeon without the girl.
"Let's do one on one everyone. You could not even look after one girl, now I highly doubt you are even capable of any missions." Aiden grunted and started to mash each and every one of them.
Especially when it was Axe's turn his punch was at least ten times more powerful than anyone else. Every time he received a punch, he cursed Elina in his heart. He just lost his count of how many times he cursed her in just one day. He realized that girl is too unlucky for him and even planned to kick her out if he escaped alive today.
No one went home that day and they continued their search for the next two days. Even though Axe knows it's a useless search but still he made it look very real and kept searching along with everyone else. Aiden even sent his guys to her college and asked around.
Cassie who was already feeling guilty as she couldn't contact anyone of her roommates and she was getting worried that she made a mistake by leaving Elina all by herself that day.
And to add fuel to her worries, few people who looked like bodyguards came to her college and asked around about Elina. As no one knew much about her, everyone said they had no idea.
When they were leaving, Cassie hired a taxi and followed them. Being experts in that field, Aiden's guys noticed her before she even hired a taxi and as everyone in the college said Cassie is close to Elina, they let her follow them and even informed Aiden about it.
After receiving instructions to let her come, they slowed the vehicle multiple times to let the taxi catch them. When the taxi driver realized that the route was taking them to the outskirts, he just kicked her out of the taxi and took double the money for the trip and left. She noted to collect the money from Elina after seeing her.
Standing in almost a deserted area, she wondered if she should have just gone back on the same taxi instead of getting down. While she was regretting her decision, she saw their chairman's car. She rushed forward and jumped in the middle of the road.
Jayden after being threatened by his brother was driving faster than the normal speed and also his Jennifer was waiting for him at his home. So he did not expect a person to jump in front of his car all of a sudden. Even though he tried his best to avoid hitting that person but still it scratched her a little and she fell down.
Because of the sudden impact or the worry she had in her mind for her friends made Cassie fainted on the road.
Jayden immediately rushed and looked at that person. Even though she looked familiar, he could not point out where he saw her. Still being near his brother's territory made him wonder if she is one of his brother's enemies.
So he put her in his trunk and drove towards Aiden place. Once he reached, he instructed to take care of the person in his trunk and went inside. And what he saw inside shocked him beyond words.
Once Aiden described what happened, obviously omitting the part where he took advantage of that innocent girl, he almost told everything.
After hearing his story, Jayden raised his eyebrows and thought his brother definitely avoided saying a few more details. As he found that just for a girl whom he met only a day, he would even use all his power to search for her alone and even blackmailing him to come, something was not matching up.
But he was quite happy that from now on his Jennifer would be safe and he wouldn't have to worry what his brother will do next. And when the situation here gets under control, he would even introduce her as Aiden's sister-in-law. Just that thought made Jayden happy and it even reflected on his face.
Looking at Jayden foolishly smiling all by himself made Aiden irritated and he glared at him and coughed. Jayden just then came back from his dreamland and looked at his brother.
"Why don't you check the footage once again?? I feel like Axe is hiding something, ask people to keep an eye on him and even better follow him all day." After saying this said his work here is done, he just left immediately.
Meanwhile, Cassie, who just woke up, found herself being tied to a chair. She looked around and then thought, did she not jump in front of the chairman's car? Just a second, is it even the chairman who was the one driving? Did she identify the wrong car? She must have checked the license plate number before jumping to the conclusion early. By the way, why would her chairman even come to a place like this?
When she looked around, she saw stained blood everywhere and it made her shiver in fear. Did she got kidnapped by bad people who pay money online for torturing young girls??
She got goosebumps everywhere... she started cursing Jennifer and Elina loudly and at that time she heard a loud bang which made her shut up.
Tears started rolling down her eyes and this time if she ever escaped from here, she decided to never ever keep in touch with these two girls in her lifetime.
In the meantime, everyone around forgot about her mere existence and was running around busily trying to finish the tasks allocated to them.
Few hours passed and she slowly lost all her hopes and waited for her punishment for trying to become a detective all by herself without any experience!!
