"I thought you said they would meet us up here?" Marcel said to his friend Eden with a slight frown.
"Y..Yes. That's what's in the note they sent. It said we should bring him here," Eden replied, looking a bit confused as to why no one was present to receive Gustavo.
"Well there is no one here," Marcel replied as he glanced around the empty park in a slightly disgusted manner.
"I don't understand. Why would they ask us to meet here and not show up? Doesn't make any sense. Did they change their mind or are they afraid?" Eden said, as he was thinking out loud.
Marcel went quiet for a while but he wore a calculative face…
"It's a distraction." He suddenly declared.
"What?" Eden didn't quite understand him.
"Call home," Marcel's tone carried a wave of urgency.
Right away Eden brought out his phone and dialed the mansion....
"No one is picking up," he revealed.
"We need to head back to the mansion, now!" Marcel charged as he suspected something was wrong.
"You heard the man. Everyone back to the vehicles! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!" Eden barked at everyone and they became alert as they all hurried into their various vehicles....

I was still in shock at what just happened. Isabella had just been killed right in front of my eyes. It felt like a horrible nightmare that I wanted nothing but to wake up from but as I was pulled into the van I realized this was a reality.
"Sit her butt down," the bony-faced man ordered and I was forced to sit on the floor of the van by two of his companions.
"The boss will be so thrilled when he sees you. You don't know how long he has been yarning for you in fact we all have," he said to me and there was a flicker of lust that ran through his eyes which caused my heart to cry in anguish.
I instantly remembered all the horror their boss Elijah alongside them had put me through. I don't think I can survive that exercise again.
"Please. I beg you with anything you believe and hold dear. Please let me go.." I started begging and pleading with them.
"Bind her hands and feet and tape her mouth as well. I don't want to hear anything that irritates my ears," he said with a frown then went to sit beside the driver.
Right away strong ropes were used to tie my wrists and feet tight and my mouth was taped round despite my struggles. I was left like an animal bought for slaughter without any dignity left. I couldn't even cry, only silent lines of tears that trail down my cheeks.....
Is this how it is going to end? Heading back to the devil??

Marcel and his men arrived at the mansion to find all the guards lying unconscious on the floor and they initially thought that all of them had been killed.
"What happened here?" Eden looked stunned and in dismay.
"Quickly. Check if any of them is still alive," Marcel instructed and quickly they checked their pulse.
"They are alive! Just in some kind of deep sleep," Eden remarked in shock.
"They were drugged," Marcel revealed…
"Over here!" One of their men called their attention to the guard that was stabbed in the neck by Isabella.
"This one is dead," the man said in a pained tone.
"Who could have done this?... Gustavo's people?" Eden was trying hard to solve the puzzle.
"Did you plan all these?" He was about to hit Gustavo to get a confession out of him but Marcel stopped him.
"I don't think this has anything to do with Gustavo. I don't even think Gustavo's people were responsible for attacking our cargos," Marcel said, stunning them all.
"Then who is responsible for all of this?" Eden asked.
"I do not know," Marcel said with searching eyes and just then he took his eyes up to Ella's window where its light was still on.
Staring intensely at the window for a few seconds Marcel's expression suddenly changed. Almost like he could_ rather couldn't feel Ella's presence and immediately he rushed into the building, heading straight up to Ella's room leaving Eden and his men rather confused...
Stepping into Ella's room Marcel searched intensely with his eyes for Ella but couldn't find her and just then a voice came from behind him.
"She is not here."
He immediately turned to find the boy Kyle standing beside the door.
"Where is she?" Marcel asked.
"Gone," Kyle replied and Marcel frowned.
"Who took her? Did you see who he was?" He asked as he closed the distance between them.
"No one took her. She escaped with the aid of one of the maids. The same maid who drugged the meal," Kyle answered and there was an angry frown that danced around. Marcel's forehead...

"Ah..Ah..Ah.." Elijah who was relaxing on the couch was moaning and groaning pleasurably as a lady who was crouched between his legs was busy sucking his dick.
She was stroking it with both hands and sucking it almost simultaneously and that was causing Elijah to experience great pleasure..However just then his phone that was beside him on the couch started ringing out causing Elijah to frown.
What the fuck?!
"What?!" He picked the call angrily.
"We got the girl." A voice from the other end said and almost immediately Elijah's countenance changed..
It was actually the bony-faced man that was speaking
"Get off me bitch!" He pushed the lady that was sucking his dick away and he stood up, covering his nakedness with his red robe.
"Leave!" He yelled at the lady as she was still lingering.
Picking herself up she hastily picked up her clothes that were scattered around the floor and scampered away from the room..
"Are you sure she is the one?" Elijah asked once he had privacy.
"Positive boss. I have forwarded her pictures to you," he replied.
Elijah quickly checked his message and a sick, wide smile formed on his face when he saw the pictures of Ella tied up inside the van.
"I have caught you at last, pretty, little thing. I bet you thought you had escaped me." He said to himself and immediately he started thinking of all the naughty and nasty things he wanted to do to her.
"Good job boys. Now bring her to me and fast!" He ordered.
"Yes boss."

Eden walked up to Marcel who was on his way out of the building.
"Where are you going? Do you know who did this?" He questioned Marcel.
"Get the men ready we are going for a search," Marcel said and his expression was dim and blood thirsty.
"Who are we hunting down?" Eden asked, eagerly.
"The girl, Ella." Marcel replied....
"Alright everyone let's move it. Remember do not harm the girl. We want her alive and unscratched." Eden passed Marcel's message to his men and they all got into 5 sets of vehicles.
Moving out of the mansion they went in separate directions by Marcel's instructions as he reasoned that they would cover up more ground if they spread out and the search would be faster.
Marcel's vehicle hadn't even gone far when Marcel spotted something unusual.
"Stop!" He ordered and the vehicle parked.
Stepping down the vehicle Marcel walked towards what seemed to be a lifeless body on the side of the street with a large bullet hole in the forehead. It was Isabella.
"Shit. Who did this to her? Do you think the girl, Ella, could have done this?" Eden said on sighting Isabella's corpse.
"Not her. I can smell the hyenas. Dirty, stinking hyenas. Their trail is still very much fresh," Marcel said but Eden couldn't understand what he meant by that.
"What? I don't get."
"Go on. Continue the search without me," Marcel said, leaving Eden in a state of more confusion.
"But_" he tried to say something but Marcel cut him short.
"Just go."
"Alright." Eden obliged even though he didn't understand what Marcel was all about.
"Let's go boys." He said to the rest as they entered their vehicles.
As the driver kicked the engine to move Eden turned his attention to where Marcel was standing but to his surprise he wasn't there. He wasn't anywhere around the vicinity. It's almost like he had vanished into thin air.
"Where did he go?"

As I lay helpless inside the van without any hope of being saved all I could think of was Marcel and how he had rescued me on many occasions before even in their hands but I don't think he will be saving me this time around. To think I was the one that ran away from him but not I am wishing with everything within me that he finds me.
The men were initially focused on the road but then they started discussing amongst themselves with me being the topic…
"Why don't we have our fun with her before we bring her to the boss?" One of the men who have a rather funny facial features suggested and my heart sank.
"The boss said she shouldn't be touched," the bony-faced man reminded them and I felt a bit relaxed..
"I am not saying we should kill her or anything. I am not even saying we should fuck her at least not her pussy anyways. There are other holes in her body we can explore," the man with a funny face said and my heart started beating faster again.
"I don't think the boss would like that," the bony-faced man interjected but he wasn't sounding too steadfast this time around.
"Just forget about what the boss would think for a moment and take a look at this piece of cake over here. Tell me you don't want to have a bite of her?" The man with a funny face said and that is all what it took for him to convince his companion.
"I do want to suck her boobs and drive my cock deep down her throat."
"So what's stopping you then? What's stopping us from having fun with her?" Like the devil the odd looking man planted a seed of sin inside all of them.
"No one. Absolutely no one." They licked their lips.
"Untie her and let the fun begin."
Oh God, please no!
