" Speak, " Carl said coldly and watched nonchalantly as she flinched on the sit. then he chuckled.
The lady cleared her voice and tried not to sound nervous even though she had already broken into a cold sweat. " I...I don't kn..know wh..wha__"
" I hate repeating myself, Maggie, who sent you." He shot the gun which grazed past her ear and landed on the metal wall with an ear-shattering sound.
The burly man's mouth hung open as his pupil dilated and he looked between his boss and the lady in astonishment. ' Maggie!!!?' He shouted inside. how did she get back?
Maggie's eyes widened as she glanced back at the hole that was suddenly formed on the wall. " I'll speak, I'll speak... Please please spare me." Her voice quivered as the gun was suddenly directed toward her forehead.
" It.. It was the Mambas, th..their leader. they asked me t..to ob..obtain information about th..the organization." She added as her eyes darted around everywhere but the dangerous man in front of her. After she was driven out of the organization when they found out about her scheme against Mira, their enemies had suddenly approached her which she readily accepted due to resentment after the excruciating punishment Zach had made her go through.
Carl chuckled and dangled the pistol in his hand. " A spy." so she was the mole. He had guessed it right. " Release her." His eyes darted to the man whose eyes were fixed on Maggie with a baffled expression.
" Y..yes." He quickly unlocked the handcuff and freed it from her hands then after receiving a signal from his boss, tore off the mask on her face.
Maggie screamed agonizingly as the sticky mask was yanked off, revealing her face that had a large streak of scar which extended from her forehead to her chin. The scar that reminded her so much of the horrible punishment they inflicted on her.
Carl gazed at her calmly then glanced at the man who left the room quickly and soon came back with a small knife.
Her eyes darted between the two men and the knife anxiously and her wailing echoed inside the room as the knife was suddenly jabbed into her left arm. " B..Big B..Boss please I beg of__ Ahhhhhh." She screamed again as the knife was now placed below her neck. Was she going to die like this?. She shirt her eyes tightly, waiting for the knife to be sliced into her neck at any moment. But after some seconds, she heaved a sigh of relief inside and her cries turned into whimpers as the knife was suddenly put away.
" I..I overheard some men t..talking about the girl you saved from the street...that night." She started explaining, knowing better than to not wait to be asked again. " Th..the ambush in the amusement park w..was also p..planned by them." Large tears stained her face as blood oozed out of her left arm. She should have known better before trying to hurt the women of these two brothers. Now her life is in a mess. She knew she was never going to leave this place alive again.
Carl stood up and tossed the gun to the man. He faced the door and suddenly stopped then uttered curtly with a calm expression. " Put her in the cell." He strode out of the room with a smirk on his face. ' hehe, it is better to make use of an enemy before eliminating them.'
The two people left inside the room stared at his back in astonishment, not expecting him to suddenly give that command. She thought she was going to lose her life, but what was that__" she winced as the burly man shoved her up.
' haha.' He knew his big boss was up to something as he wouldn't let anyone free especially someone who attempted to hurt his woman. He looked at the girl and sighed. She was one of their best men but just because of envy, had to go through such terrible things. He hurled her out of the room to the infirmary before leading her to one of the cells.

__ Five Days Later __
__ Cha Mansion __
Vivian stared at her phone with a sigh after ending the call with her father. She wondered what her father was up to again as he had suddenly canceled the meeting to talk about her engagement with Carl. ' It is for your good.' She thought of his words which she couldn't recount how many he had uttered it and sighed again.
But she knew that she had to follow every word he said as he was her father and only wished good for her.
' Hmmm' she bit her lower lip and her brows knitted while wondering what Carl was up to as it had been a while since he came to the mansion.
She retrieved a small necklace that she had always carried around and opened the heart-shaped pendant which revealed a small picture frame. Her eyes softened and she caressed it with a soft smile then chuckled. " I'll wait Carl, no matter how long it takes. You're mine only and would always be." She had waited for him for almost twenty years since she was a kid and even though it would take twenty more for him to finally give her his heart, she would gladly wait.
After some minutes, she closed the pendant and put back the necklace in the bedside drawer, making sure to lock it. Then sat up with a frown. ' I wonder what that girl is up to.' She got down from the bed and walked out of her room while wondering why Lucy had not brought her the milk yet.
She strode through the hallway and suddenly stopped then plastered a sweet smile on her face. " Auntie." She greeted the woman who was walking toward her room with milk in hand.
" Vivian child, this is for you. Your little sister does not feel well" the woman handed her the milk and sighed inside. She wondered why her stubborn daughter disliked her cousin very much as Vivian had always liked her company.
" Oh no, what is wrong with her? Lemme see her first." Without taking the milk from her hand, her eyes widened and she rushed toward Lucy's room anxiously and the woman chuckled while shaking her head.
