Who was this Brandon guy? She didn't even contact her family members but this man. Ken was brimming with jealousy but he suppressed his jealousy as he was well aware that Arianna was mad at him.
Arianna sat quietly trying to settle her thoughts. Wow Arianna Olivia Havana Wow. This is the guy you fell in love with, aren't you amazing.
The door burst open and the Treasure hunters burst in.
' Lady Boss!!'
Brandon spots Arianna and immediately hugs her.
When he sees the marks on her neck and the suit she used to clad herself, he felt like hitting his head on the wall.
He takes off his jacket and wraps it around her.
' I'm sorry. I wasn't there when you needed me. This brother failed you.' Brandon says as he clenched his fists his eyes bloodshot.
Brother? I didn't know my little kitten had a brother. It means nothing is going on between them. Ken thought.
' It's not your fault. Did you bring the clothes?' Arianna says her voice coming out in a whisper.
' Mm. You go freshen up.' Brandon says.
Arianna takes the bag and goes to the bathroom.
Brandon turns to Ken,
He charges towards him and hits him.
' You dare lay your filthy hand on her, I will break your bones.' Brandon says angrily.
He hits Ken for a while till Tyler steps in,
' Enough Brandon.' Tyler says.
' What do you mean enough?' Brandon spat out.
' Why do only you get to hit him? Move aside my hand is itching to do some damage.' Tyler replies.
**************
I could hear the guys hitting Ken. But why is my heart aching for him. He deserved everything he was getting. Why can't I convince myself otherwise? Yes the reason I don't want them to hit him is because physical pain will only last for a while. I will slowly take away everything he holds dear, starting from his company.
I wore the clothes, adjusted my hair and went out.
************
Xavier ( aka Fred) was in the adjacent room listening in on the sound of punches and kicks. He dialled a number and placed it on speaker.
' Listen carefully father. That's the sound of Ken Khurana's suffering.' Fred says.
' You have done a good job Xavier. At least your mother's soul can finally rest in peace.' Eric replies.
******************
' Leave him.' Arianna says.
Her heart aches when she saw the bruises on his face, his brown hair stuck to his face and his clothes were bloody and disheveled.
Ken would have smiled if his jaw didn't hurt. At least she still cared for him.
' What are you saying? How can we let him go unpunished?' Blake says.
' Who says we are letting him go unpunished? Look at him, you have been hitting him for a long time without recieving a satisfactory reaction from him. All your beatings have no effect on him. We'll deal with him in all his soft corners. For a starter, Khurana industries.' Arianna replies.
' ARIANNA HAVANA.' Ken says angrily. That company was his parents and brother's hardwork. The Khurana legacy.
Dylan punched his mouth.
' Don't f*cking say her name!' Dylan says.
' Knock him out and send him off discreetly. Let's not create a scene.' Arianna says.
Brandon's phone rings. This was his personal number and aside from Arianna, Tyler, Blake and Dylan the only other person with his number was Arian and Bella.
He took out his phone.
' Young Master!' Brandon says.
' Did you find Mom?' Arian asks worriedly.
' Mm. She's with me, she went to get something. I have been instructed not to tell you anything. It's a surprise.' Brandon replies.
' That woman! I won't spare her give her the phone.' Arian says.
Brandon looks at Arianna and sees the reluctance on her face.
' She says you would scold her or make her give out the surprise.' Brandon replies.
' Fine! Just tell her to say something so I can hear her voice.' Arian says.
' He wants you to say something.' Brandon tells Arianna.
Arianna controlled her emotions and says, ' Young Man it's way past your bedtime.'
' When the cat is away the mice will play. Yes I told Aunt that you went to the airport with the uncle that owns the Park in Parkville.' Arian replies and hangs up.
' What do we do with this guy?' Tyler ask.
' Knock him out.' Arianna replies.
Bullet knocks Ken out.
' I was drugged .He couldn't have done it alone. We need to find his accomplices.' Arianna says.
' I will clear the room.' Dylan says.
' I will deliver him to his house.' Blake says
' I will get a good gift for young master.' Tyler says.
' I will drop you at a hotel. Young Master told your family that you escorted the Park's owner to the airport. You will stay in a hotel till dawn.' Brandon says.
They all split to do their thing.
In Brandon's car,
' Are you okay Arianna?' Brandon asks.
' I'm disappointed and mad but I'm okay.' Arianna replies.
' I'm sorry I couldn't get to you on time. I failed to keep my promise.' Brandon replies.
He would forever be indebted to Arianna yet he couldn't even protect her from a b*stard.
Seven years ago, the Treasure hunters were held captive during a meeting with a potential client. Brandon had used himself as bait and helped the others escape. When Arianna heard about it, she sneaked into the location and found Brandon. She untied his binds and told him to run and of course he refused. How could let someone 6 years younger than him take the fall?
Arianna then told him that they were men, she could entice them and keep them occupied but they would probably pass time by beating him up.
Besides he was the brain of the group, he could find a way to infiltrate their security system and come back for her. She had said something that he would never forget,
' My name is Arianna Olivia Havana. I can never leave my person behind.'
He did find away to infiltrate their security system and the treasure hunters returned for their Lady Boss. While Brandon was leading her out they encountered an opponent who held them at gunpoint. Arianna hugged Brandon's body covering him and whispered, ' If I don't make it, take good care of my sister and my best friend and also your future boss.'
Luckily the man's gun was out of bullet.
That day he had made Arianna a vow, He would always protect her like his own sister.
He would make that man pay.
They arrived at the hotel and Brandon left after ensuring Arianna was okay.
He immediately set to work. He planted a virus in the Khurana Industry network, publicised all their secret budget and even hired people to vandalise the company.
*********************
Ken was brought to consciousness by the nonstop ringing. He opened his eyes, he was lying on his bed. He took out the phone, the screen had several cracks on it but thankfully it was still working. He answere the phone.
' Boss there's trouble. Our computers have been hacked, all our company's budget plans have been publicized, our company has been vandalised and the goods that were expected to arrive have been confiscated by the custom officers.' Leo's Frantically says.
Ken sat up quickly ignoring the pain from the injuries on his body.
' Send me a detailed report and have the IT department counterattack the hacker.' Ken says and hangs up.
He rushes to the bathroom to freshen up.
*********************************
' Dad you have to help him. Then he will see our sincerity and our family bond can be strengthened by marriage please dad.' Sage pleaded.
Earlier she was fuming when she discovered Ken had left without informing her. His car was parked outside but he was nowhere to be seen, she waited for a long time before she left. It was only when she saw the news that she understood he was in trouble.
This was her chance to make him see her worth.
' But I don't want to lose money.' Mr Thompson says sceptically.
' Dad the Khurana Industry has been around for 35 years. Do you think they can't resolve the issue themselves? We can make them indebted to us by showing them goodwill and when they recover we would benefit greatly.' Sage says.
' You are right. Let's help them, we'll contribute our technical team and also send people to inquire.' Mr Thompson replies.
30 minutes later,
Mr Thompson's phone rings.
' CEO Thompson, our financial budget are being publicized, we are being summoned to court for sale of harmful products and our intranet is being hacked.' Mr Thompson secretary says.
' What? Do your best to resolve this issue, fast.' Mr Thompson replies.
' Sage! You see what you've caused me. Whoever is attacking Khurana Industry has started attacking us as well. We picked a mustard seed and lost a watermelon.' Mr Thompson says angrily.
*****************
Brandon dealt with anyone who offered help to the Khuranas. He then worked at the surveillance cameras at the party.
Thirty minutes later,
Brandon frowned
This was bad.
