"Victoria was always evil, but you being blinded by love didn't see it until she broke your heart after she left you at the airport "
"Maybe she was a little bad but not entirely"
"Arthur wake up, she was able to kidnap your future wife right under your nose, and when I said it might be her you even defended her. Do you really cherish Rose as much as we think you do?" Sean angrily said.
"Yes I do, I love her more than my life. I just didn't expect for Victoria to turn this way " Arthur stared outside the car window
"Victoria was always like that, she used to torture us when you weren't around. I remember she once told her bodyguards to beat us up just because I told her she wasn't your match. She slapped Vivian more than once whenever she saw her near you and then you say she wasn't bad " Sean argued.
"It's all in the past right now all I want is to see who really took Rose " Arthur remarked.
They soon arrived at the mansion, Arthur jumped out of the car before it stopped and rushed into the house.
Victoria was seated in the living room with her shoes off. she appeared to be out of breath as she took in big gasps of air.
"Where is she?" Arthur shouted.
Victoria who was surprised to see them there failed to let out a single word.
"What are you doing here? " She asked.
"Am going to ask one more time, where is Rose?" Arthur shouted the question again.
"I don't know what you talking about ?" Victoria acted innocent.
"Arthur I don't think she is going to say anything " Sean said.
Her men entered the room after they heard her shout back at Arthur.
Arthur's men who were quicker soon subdued her men leaving her alone with the two men.
Arthur who grew impatient every passing minute grabbed Victoria and dragged her upstairs.
"Tell me which room she in or am going to forget I once was in love with you " Arthur whispered in her ears.
"Your wasting your time, she ran away a while ago. Archie and the rest of my men chased after her " Victoria said.
"How dare you put her life in danger just because you want my attention. Aren't you ashamed of yourself " Arthur grabbed her hair and pushed her away.
Victoria screamed in pain as her body landed on the hard wall. Arthur picked her up and went back downstairs.
He threw her in one of the seats and hurled a question to her.
" Which direction did she take?" Sean asked.
Victoria didn't answer and just sat there in silence. Feeling his patient finally drain away, he punched her hard across her face, surprising both Sean and Victoria who had received it.
Victoria screamed as blood came out of her mouth, Sean looked at his friend and Victoria astonished by what ye had done.
"Just because of a low life bitch you hurt me like this?" Victoria cried.
"You better tell me where she went before I do something worse " Arthur threatened her.
Victoria scared of what Arthur might do next finally told them where she had run to.
"It was in the direction of our old hung out spot " She finally said.
Arthur ordered his men to take her as he rushed out to the direction he had been told.
Sean followed him behind as they moved down the slope.
Memories of his teenage life appeared once again as he runs down the familiar path.
Memories of him, Archie, Vivian, and Victoria running down the path I too the old house.
How they used to play hide and seek in the trees, share stories, and learn how to fall in love.
He remembered how Victoria always brought his favorite snacks whenever they came down to play.
But now he was on the same path going to reduce the woman who had changed his life.
He let out a silent prayer for her to be okay.
Arthur saw Archie and his men came down the path. He seemed to be in pain as one of his men was supporting him as he walked.
"That bitch is dead the next time I lay my hands on her " he cursed.
Arthur stood in the middle of the path making his presence known.
Archie and his men stopped and stared at him with Sean
He looked so angry that even a fly wouldn't pass by him.
"Where is she?" Was all he asked.
"Arthur I can explain" Archie tried to say.
But Arthur was already beside him holding him by the neck. His men ran in fear since they knew who Arthur was.
"I told you I wouldn't let it go again, but you kept poking your nose in my business and now you harmed her for the second time " Arthur spat out the words with fury.
"Arthur, you know you and I are connected by a certain past that can't be forgotten "
Arthur delivered a painful fist to Archie's face pushing him to the stone path they were on.
He was soon on top of him delivering more fists in his face that his hand was covered with blood.
Archie laughed as he spat out blood from his mouth, he looked at Arthur and said
"Arthur the only thing I did was to try and remind her about that night, and I can say it didn't go pretty while since she screamed and kicked as caressed and filled her body with kisses "
His statement through Arthur on a rampage that he soon as holding him down by his neck. He chocked Archie until Sean pulled him away.
"Arthur it's not worth it, let him just tell us where she is " Sean calmed him down.
"Am sorry to say this but I can't tell you that since I also don't know " Archie coughed.
Arthur wanting to harm him more shouted what he meant.
"She ran away after kicking me in my groin " Archie let out a mocking laugh.
Arthur picked up Archie and kicked him again in the same spot Rose had kicked, he screamed as the pain almost killed him.
"She ran in the direction of the road " he coughed out.
Arthur three Archie to Sean and told him to take him back as he walked to the old house.
It looked like there was a fight since most of the old furniture was broken.
Arthur stepped on something, he picked it up and realized it was one of Rose's buttons from her blouse.
He moved out of the house and took big strides in the direction of the road.
But when he reached there was no sign of Rose leaving him more disappointed.
Victoria and Archie were transported into one of Arthur's secret warehouse.
Victoria was tied to a chair while Archie was chained up by his arms.
Arthur soon arrived with an aura that made everyone avoid him.
"If you don't tell me where she is am going to kill you " Arthur picked up one of his favorite torture tools.
None of the two let out a word as they both kept there heads down.
"You know if I was you, I would say everything I know When Arthur comes here his really in a bad, bad mood " Sean advised.
Arthur moved to Victoria who shook in fear when he came near her with the sharp tool.
Saying anything that came into her mind Victoria let out how she had only slapped Rose while Archie had tried to kill her.
Arthur held the took even tighter when he had what she said.
He moved in closer to her face so swiftly that Victoria only realized it had cut her when she felt the blood flow down her cheek.
Letting out piercing scream Victoria cried as she cursed Arthur for what he had done.
She cried as she promised to get her revenge. But Arthur did it again this time on the other cheek, leaving another ugly wound on her face.
Victoria cried that she soon fainted out of shock.
"You really love her that much, to just hurt your friends like this " Archie said.
Arthur who hadn't said another word slowly moved to Archie as he picked up a sharp dagger from the table.
"If you kill me you will have to go to jail for it " Archie shouted as he tried getting away from the approaching Arthur.
