"What do you mean by what you just said? You stole her from her birth mother?" Flynn creased his brow in total confusion.
"Actually, after what happened that night, I headed to Zach's house and we celebrated our victory. I waited there till the following day when I was going to leave for Italy. The following day came, in the afternoon, Zach decided he was going to escort me to the airport. But, while we were in the car, we had a conversation.
FLASHBACK~ SIX YEARS AGO.
"Now, everything is over," Hazel smiled as she looked outside the window.
"I am afraid everything is not over. I mean, why must you let things end now?" Zach asked, as their eyes met slowly.
"What do you mean by that?" Hazel hardened her gaze.
"You must come back to LA after today," Zach said to her.
"Why should I come back?" Hazel frowned.
"Because everything is not over!" Zach yelled.
"Why is everything not over, I ask!" Hazel yelled back.
"Stop the car and give us some space," Zach said to the driver who obeyed by pulling the car to a stop as soon as he found a place to park the car, then got down from the car.
"You will come back to LA when everything that happened might have been forgotten," Zach leaned closer and Hazel leaned back.
"And you think he will accept me back? You think he will see me and be like, "Oh baby, I've missed you very much. Oh, please," Hazel jested.
"That Is why you will come back with a child," Zach said and Hazel widened her eyes.
"What do you mean by that? I am not even pregnant. I practically flush my womb the last time we had intercourse," Hazel retorted.
"Then you must get a child at all cost. You don't know Flynn, what we did to him did not affect him financially but only emotionally. Even for the emotional part, Flynn will snap out of it soon. I had one of my men follow him to see if he gets back to his mansion safely, and he said another woman came and they had both gone to the hotel and didn't come out till this morning," Zach explained to her as he watched Hazel countenance fall.
"That asshole! It hasn't been so long I left and he had found a replacement," Hazel growled.
"That's why we need to come up with another plan in another way. Let's find a child," Zach said.
"Then I will do whatever it takes to bring him down again, even if I need to adopt a child," Hazel said with a determined face.
Zach smiled and he knocked on the glass of the car, telling his driver they were ready to go.
After a few minutes of drive, they came across a woman standing in the middle of the road, injured and at the other side of where she stood was a car that was involved in an accident.
"I guess everyone in the car died," Hazel said as the car passed by the very young lady who carried the baby.
"Stop the car!" Zach ordered and Hazel looked at him.
"Why?" Hazel asked.
"The Lord has favored us," Zach smiled at her.
"No way, don't tell me…" Hazel shook her head.
"Yes. Danny, get down from the car, go to that woman carrying a baby and bring the baby over here," Zach said and watched the driver swallow hard.
"Pardon?"
"Do as I've said, now!" Zach yelled and the driver hurried out of the car.
"Old man!" Hazel shouted.
"As from today, live as her mother probably till the plan is over. I will cater to the baby's needs, I promise. After I escort you to the airport, I will have this driver kIlled," Zach smiled as he glanced at the driver who snatched the baby from its mother then pushed her on the floor.
"You are crueler than I thought," Hazel shook her head and looked outside the window.
The door flung open, the driver entered with the crying baby in his arm, panting heavily.
"Boss…" he stretched the baby to him and Zach collected the baby without a thought.
"Flee this place before people gather," Zach said as he stared at the baby who stopped crying immediately.
"Gosh, I still can't believe this," Hazel shook at her head.
END OF FLASHBACK.
"What!" Flynn shouted in disbelief after Hazel had finished the story.
"I…I am sorry. Zach put me to all of this," Hazel cried.
"You are so dumb for narrating the story to Flynn, you think he will let you go?" Zach growled.
Flynn cracked his knuckles, turned to look at Zach, and then glared at him. He held the knife in his hand firmly then suddenly throw it at Zach.
The knife brushed past Zach's neck, let a small cut on his neck, and Zach breathed out in horror.
Gosh! This tycoon had gone mad!
He swallowed deeply as he peeked at the knife that fell right on his shoulder after it had met the wall.
"You don't talk when I don't ask you to, motherfvcker," Flynn said then turned to look at Hazel who was trembling in fear.
"If that is what happened, then how did the DNA result proofed that I am her father?" Flynn asked.
"I attached a tracking device to Beverly's earring. After you left with her, I called a man that I knew, connected him to the tracking device, and ordered him to either switch the blood samples or bribe the doctor. That is, I paid the doctor a huge sum of money to alter the result," Hazel breathed out.
"Wow. You dare play these games on me!" Flynn yelled.
"I'm sor…"
"Devon!" Flynn called out.
"Take a few men with you, go and get that laboratorist. I need him here, now!" Flynn growled in anger, gave Devon the address, and dismissed him immediately.
"I know you are angry, but…"
"Zach Tordoff, it is your turn to speak," Flynn said and he strolled towards Zach.
"How did you know Hazel?" Flynn asked, took the knife that was on Zach's shoulder then wiped the little bloodstain on his hair.
"You think I am dumb to tell you anything? I am not that easy," Zach groaned and Flynn laughed.
"Of course, you are not. Which leg would you like to lose first?" Flynn bent before him and placed the knife on his thigh.
"I…I am not scared of you," Zach stammered.
"Of course, you should not be," Flynn raised the knife, then keep him in his thigh in a blink of an eye.
Zach screamed in pain as the knife dived through his thigh, how could Flynn torture him this way?! If he got out of here, he will surely wipe out his generation. But now, he needs to succumb to the devil.
"How did you know Hazel, or would you love your second leg to go?" Flynn smiled as he removed the knife from Zach's thigh slowly which made the man scream in pain.
"I will tell you! Please, I will tell you everything! Don't hurt me again. Don't wake the devil where it lay," Zach wailed.
"I should not wake the devil? Oh, you do not know? I am the demon myself," Flynn smiled.
"Now, talk!"
"I had my men get her contact then I sent an anonymous message to her," Zach breathed in pain as he placed his tied hands on his thigh to stop the bleeding.
"What message is that?" Flynn asked.
"I told her to come to a hotel if she wants to know a way to acquire your wealth," Zach muttered, sweat dripping from his face.
"Wait, she went to meet you? "Flynn asked in disbelief.
"Yes. I was quite tipsy then, so I tried to seduce her, I was quite h0rny when she arrived. However, when she gave herself to me, I knew she will be very easy to use against you," Zach said.
"You mean…"
"I fucked her," Zach said and an evil grin formed on his face.

Melanie and Elle sat beside Beverly in the ward, while Melanie sat on the chair beside the bed, Elle sat at the edge of the bed.
They watched the little girl sleeping peacefully, after a while, they felt her body move and waited for her to wake up.
Instead, her facial expression turned into that of a scary one, she grasp the bed sheet and shook her head, tears dripping from her eyes.
"kyle, get the doctor!" Melanie yelled and Kyle hurriedly pressed the bell that was beside the bed.
"Beverly, wake up!" Melanie tapped her gently.
"N…no…mummy will… kill me… she…mummy… I am sorry… don't kill me please," Beverly muttered.
"Beverly!" Melanie called out.
"Mummy! Don't kill me please!" Beverly screamed, open her eyes then sit upright.
"Mummy will kill me. She said she is coming to kill me," Beverly cried and Melanie hurriedly pulled her in a tight hug.
"Shsh…mummy is not here. Mummy won't do anything to you, I promise," Melanie stroked her hair gently.
"Don't kill me, mummy. Please… I won't cause you trouble again," Beverly muttered and Melanie sighed hard.
She really hopes this young girl won't suffer trauma because of what she had experienced.

"Flynn, he raped me! I didn't give myself willingly to him!" Hazel screamed from the other side.
"You should not deny anything anymore," Zach groaned.
Flynn stood up and looked at the other side where Zach's men were tied the strolled towards them.
"You all touched a strand on my wife's hair, right?"
"N…no, we were only following orders," one of the men said.
"Of course," Flynn raised the knife.
"It…" Flynn started then hurriedly stabbed one of the men on his arm.
"Was…" he removed the knife then stabbed another on the shoulder.
"Very stupid…" he removed the knife then stabbed another on the thigh.
"Of y'all to follow the order to hurt my wife!" Flynn yelled, removed the knife then stabbed the last one on his arm.
He stood up, strolled gently towards Hazel who was shivering in fear, pulled her leg forward then smiled at her.
"I heard you kicked my beautiful wife in her stomach. Did you know what happened afterward? She fvcking lose the baby. Was that not what you wanted? I will make all of you go through extreme pain for hurting my wife, then wipe you off without a trace. You might have forgotten, I was a dreaded mafia!" With that, Flynn dipped the knife in Hazel's left leg which made the Italian woman scream out in pain.
