Release Mr. Ross now

While Robert was pointing his gun at Mr. Ross, he brought out his phone from his pockets with his left hand and carefully dialed Angelo's number.

Meanwhile, Angelo and Anne were still struggling with each other and he gave her a resounding slap with his might that made her fall to the bed.

"Alright ice queen, it seems you want it the hard way. Fine! I'll make sure you no longer feel your legs," Angelo said with gritted teeth removing his belt in a haste.

Anne was on the bed breathing heavily, she had been crying for help and struggling with Angelo but it all seemed to be for nothing.

Suddenly, Angelo's phone rang. He had the intention of throwing his phone away but since it was Mr. Ross's manager calling him, he just had to pick it up. He knew it must be something important.

Angelo groaned before answering the call "Hello Rob, this should better be important because I'm in the middle of something serious," he said also trying to catch his breath.

As Angelo was talking to Robert on the phone, Anne didn't hesitate to seize her chance to escape. She quickly stood up from the bed to escape just as soon as Angelo answered the call.

However, Instead of Angelo chasing after Anne so she won't escape, he let her be because he knew the door was locked. He was only struggling with her because he wanted her on the bed.

"It's important Angelo, your father is refusing to sign the documents to transfer all his inheritance to you," Robert said to Angelo on the phone.

"Aren't you with a gun or something? Threaten you're going to kill him if he doesn't comply" Angelo yelled and hung up immediately.

Meanwhile, Anne was busy struggling with the door handle but it was no use because the door was locked. Her eyes were soaked with tears and her body was shivering. She was clueless about what to do and how to escape.

"It's no use in trying to escape," Angelo said, slowly walking towards Anne.

"Anastasia, I'm not a bad guy. I just wanted us to have a night of ecstasy." He said in a low tone.

Anne quickly took off one of her silver stiletto heels and pointed it to Angelo.

"One more step closer, I swear, I'm going to hit you with this," she warned vehemently.

Angelo scoffed "you better put that down, you don't wanna hurt me," he said and he started unbuttoning his corporate long-sleeve.

"Help!! somebody help me!!" Anne screamed at the top of her voice, whilst hitting the door.

Angelo chuckled, looking at the poor girl in front of him with a wryly look. "Sadly, no one is going to hear you scream. Everyone is at the party and Carl would is probably too sad to look for you because you rejected him and chose to be with me. So if I were you, I'll put that shoe down and corporate with me" he said sternly.

..

"Noah, tracking your phone has led me here so I'm sure that Mr. Ross is around here somewhere," Carl said to Noah and Sasha, staring at his phone screen. The three of them have been running around the passageway of the hotel rooms with their guns in hopes of finding Mr. Ross to save him.

"Somebody help!"

Carl heard Anne's voice from a distance, crying for help and his heart skipped. "Anne?" he whispered to himself.

Since the voice he heard was faint, he thought he was probably hearing things but he was certain that his heart wouldn't just skip a beat for a random voice.

"Wait guys, did you hear that?" he said.

"Hear what?" Sasha asked.

"Someone is in trouble, I think I heard a voice crying for help," he said.

"That's probably Mr. Ross. His life is in danger and we have to hurry before it's too late" Noah said.

"No! The voice I heard was a lady's voice and I'm sure it came from the top floor and… and.. that voice sounded like Anne. I think Anastasia is in trouble" Carl said in a shaky voice and with a worried expression on his face.

"You guys go ahead and look for Mr. Ross. I want to see if Anne is alright" he said. He was scared that something bad has happened to Anne even if he wasn't sure it was Anne who screamed.

"Okay, Sure boss," Noah said and left without thinking twice.

Carl turned to leave but Sasha held his arm tight.

"Seriously? You're leaving just to look for Anastasia? Prosecutor Carl, we're in a middle of a dangerous operation that involves the life of Mr. Ross and you wanna let it slide because you heard a voice you're not even sure of? And why do you still care about Anastasia when she doesn't care about you? You both came to this birthday party together yet she chose to dance with Angelo" Sasha scoffed. "Prosecutor Carl, that girl doesn't deserve you, focus on what is more important," She said.

Carl looked at Sasha with his head unsettled, he wasn't thinking straight. The fear of Anne being in trouble was bothering him and there was no way he could ignore it. Carl let go of his arm and hurriedly walked away without saying a word to Sasha leaving her astonished.

Sasha's eyes widened as she watched Carl's departing figure. 'He's definitely out of his mind' she thought to herself. She wasn't expecting Carl to leave their operation to look for Anne after what she just said.

Well, Carl had to focus on what is more important.

"Mr. Ross, Mr. Ross!!" Noah who was far ahead of Sasha started yelling.

"Over here!!" Mr. Ross yelled. He could hear Noah's voice and he answered despite being pointed a gun.

Robert quickly wrapped his arms around Mr. Ross's neck and pointed the gun at his temple. "One more word from you and I'll make sure you rest in peace immediately" He whispered in Mr. Ross's ears. He has been trying all means to make Mr. Ross sign the documents but Mr. Ross had been proving stubborn to do so.

Luckily, Noah was smart enough to know where Mr. Ross's voice came out from so he signaled Sasha and pointed at room 46. They were standing at the doorstep of room 46 with their guns in their hands ready for action.

"Robert, we know you're in there, you're all surrounded," Sasha said firmly.

Inside the room, Robert signaled the security guard who was with him to unlock the door and he obeyed.

As soon as the door opened, Sasha and Noah walked inside the room with their guns pointing at Robert and the security guard.

"Mr. Ross!" Sasha gasped seeing the condition Mr. Ross was in, in his manager's grip.

"Release him now!" Noah yelled at Robert who was still pointing the gun at Mr. Ross's temple.

"Take any step further and I'll shoot him" Robert fired back.

Bang!

Noah shot at the security guard who was standing like a pillar and the security guard dropped dead instantly.

"I said release him right now!" Noah glared at Robert as he turned his attention back to him.

"You think I'm bluffing huh? Okay, goodbye Mr. Ross" Robert yelled.

"Wait!! You don't wanna kill him, just drop your weapon and you won't go to jail I promise" Sasha said to Robert.

"Do you two idiots think I'm a fool?" Robert yelled. "You two drop your weapons first or he dies," He said.

Sasha locked her eyes with Noah, trying to communicate with him to drop his weapon because she had another plan but Noah was reluctant to drop his gun, he didn't want to take any chances.

Noah sighed and finally dropped his gun on the ground, same with Sasha and they both raised their hands in the air like they'd surrendered.

Robert chuckled softly as Noah and Sasha dropped their weapons 'This would be fun' he thought.

"It's your turn, release Mr. Ross now," Sasha said to Robert.

Robert freed Mr. Ross from his grip and pointed his gun at Sasha and Noah smirking.

"Sasha this is what I was preventing," Noah said with gritted teeth.

"On the ground now," A cop who just barged inside the room, pointing a rifle at Robert yelled.

The cop was with two other cops that came inside the room. They were all pointing their rifles at him.

"I called for backup," Sasha said picking up her gun.

Robert's jaw dropped, he was confused and shocked. His eyes roved around the room thinking of what to do next but he was out of ideas.

"On your knees now or we shoot," The cop said to Robert, and Robert sighed. He had no other option but to surrender because if he flinched, he would be shot in a flash.

This was the end for Robert.

The cops immediately handcuffed Robert and Mr. Ross heaved a sigh of relief. He was happy to be safe and sound and luckily, Robert didn't kill him before Noah and Sasha showed up.

"Thank you Sasha and thank you, detective, for saving my life" Mr. Ross thanked Noah and Sasha wholeheartedly.

"We were just doing our job, Sir," Sasha said.

"Well umm, Mr. Ross you could thank me by wiring me some good amount of cash in my account" Noah laughed awkwardly. He said it jokingly but he was hoping that Mr. Ross would actually send him some money for appreciation.

Mr. Ross laughed. "Good. I promise to wire you some cash to show my gratitude" He turned his neck and saw Robert sneering at him as he was being taken out by the cops. He genuinely felt sorry for his manager because he would be in jail for a very long time.

"Unfortunately, my manager was working with my son Angelo, to kill me. Angelo is the real culprit" Mr. Ross said to Noah and Sasha.

"Oh, son of a…" Noah held his tongue. He didn't want to insult Angelo in front of Mr. Ross because no matter what, Angelo is still his son.

"…Don't worry Mr. Ross, we'll make sure to put Angelo behind bars no matter what" Sasha assured and Mr. Ross nodded his head.

"Where's Carl?" Mr. Ross asked.

"He went upstairs to look for Anastasia. I don't know but he feels like she's in trouble" Sasha shook her head.

…

"I said stay back," Anne said in a shaky voice with her heels on her hand, pointing at Angelo.

Angelo was already shirtless, he didn't mind the heels being pointed at him because he presumed that Anne didn't have the heart to hit him. But as soon as Angelo got closer to her, she hit him hard on his head with her heels.

"SHIT!," Angelo groaned holding his head.

"How dare you, Anastasia!!" Angelo yelled.

Carl who was on the same floor as Anne and Angelo heard Angelo's voice yelling at Anne. That was when he confirmed that Anne was really in trouble.

"Back off" Anne yelled at Angelo, panting like she was short of breath.

"Anne!!" Carl yelled from outside the door.

"Carl?" Anne said under her breath. She immediately felt some kind of peace in her chest as soon as she heard Carl's voice that sounded so anxious.

"Carl, Carl, I'm here please help me" Anne cried, facing the door. Hearing his voice made her hopeful that Carl would save her and for some reason, it made her cry more.

Angelo laughed. "Anastasia, your boyfriend can't save you. That door is locked and super strong, even for Carl"

"Anne, just hold on and stand back okay? I'm going to get you out of there I promise" Carl said from outside the door. Anyone could perceive the fear in his voice. Moreover, Angelo guessed that Carl would never be able to open the door so he grabbed Anne's waist tight trying to kiss her and her shoes fell from her hands.

"Let me go! Please let me go!" Anne cried.

Hearing Anne's trembling voice made Carl panic. His heart was beating rapidly and he looked at the door in front of him and saw that the door was pretty strong. Despite that, Carl used his shoulders to hit the door with his might, thrice and the door forcefully opened.

Angelo was shocked as soon as the door opened. He quickly let go of Anne and Anne rushed to hug Carl just immediately. Angelo rolled his eyes as he watched them hug. It was disgusting to him. However, Anne felt so relieved that Carl came to her rescue. She has completely forgotten about their previous fight and all that she wanted right now was to be in his arms.

Her face was buried in Carl's rock-hard chest, crying like a child. She was happy in her heart that she was saved but her body was still trembling with fear of what might have happened to her if Carl hadn't shown up.

Carl placed his hands around Anne's jawline and gaze intensely into her teary eyes that appeared to be more alluring, thanks to the tears. It seemed to have added some glow to them as her silver orbs sparkle. Seeing Anne cry like this made Carl's heart squeeze. The way she was holding him tight made him understand that Anne must've been very scared. He hoped that Angelo didn't hurt her because he'll make sure that Angelo pays the price for hurting his woman.

"Are... are you alright? D.. Did he hurt you?" Carl stuttered.

"No he didn't," Anne muttered, looking down.

Carl lifted her chin "Don't lie to me Anne," he said in a husky tone. "look at how red your cheeks are, he slapped you didn't he?" He said frowning.

"Carl, there's no need to get angry, I was only playing with her, we were just having fun," Angelo said flatly.

Carl shot Angelo a disdainful look. He now realized that Angelo was shirtless and Anne's shoes were on the floor. He already got the idea that Angelo was forcing himself on Anne.

Carl was furious, he imagined that if he hadn't gotten here at all, Angelo would've managed to rape Anne. Seeing her cheeks that red, was enough proof that Angelo was harassing Anne.

Out of anger, Carl brought out his pistol from the back of his trousers and shot Angelo.
