strange isn’t it?

…..

They were attacked by the opposite mafia group that has been trying to take over GaseveRNT for years.

" What's happening here? " The masked guy asked.

" There has been an attack by the Red Blood, and they are looking to destroy the medical facilities first." His right -hand man, Liam said.

" Okay, let's finish this Liam." the masked guy said.

He called out all of his bodyguards and decided to take over an attack and use this chance to finish the Red Blood group.

He planned out everything and divided his people. Some rushed to their other headquarters, while others attacked the Red blood from the top and ground floor while 2 of the bodyguards protected Lana. He, Liam and the rest went to the medical facility to complete this, since the Red Blood leader had gone there earlier.

They took their guns and attacked.

...

The Red Blood Group is one of the groups that try to take over some small and higher groups to gain power. Initially, they tried to trick the GaseveRNT into giving them a fake contract that would lead to their bankruptcy, but it also failed. They also attempted attacking it's small headquarters to reduce their power and influence but failed. They attempted to kill the leader but that was challenging since no one knew what he looked like other than the top people in his group. Others only knew his underground name.

They called him a devil, but yet tried to own his name. They may have done a lot but they all failed. The GesevaRNT followed by the SMT group will always be on top.

...

They arrived at the medical facility and tried to track down the leader.

The masked guy was mad, angry, and furious. He killed without looking twice. The word mercy was not in his dictionary. They all knew him. Liam was also not different. They were like poison and venom.

His cold aura sent shivers down their spines. He had a reputation of being ruthless and merciless. He had no regard for human life and it seemed like he had no emotions. Even the bravest of them was reduced to a trembling mess when he was around.

He caught the leader. He was no one to him.

The masked guy pointed the gun at the Red Blood leader and asked, "are you paid to do this? "

But the guy remained silent.

"Wow," he smirked. " I love this. Why not have some fun since you don't look like a person who can create such a plan to target me? Right, Liam? " He turned to Iiam as he asked." Ooh for my wife's sake," he blows the muzzle of a gun and says " I`ll give you a chance. second chance. Speak or feel hell on earth," the masked guy said looking at him with a piercing gaze.

The Red Blood leader was terrified. He knew either way that his end had come, but he just couldn't accept the fact. He said "I speak, you let me go. Deal?"

The leader's voice trembled and his hands shaken. As he awaited the answer with bated breath, he tried to hide it because he was terrified to death but he couldn't.

The masked guy laughed and said, "Deal, Now speak!"

"you were right.. i.. i am not leader. They promised to pay me handsomely if I did it. Honestly, I wouldn't have accepted the mission if I knew what I was doing. I mean i knew what was i doing but I didn't recognize the person they wanted dead.!" He said in a hurried but scared tone.

" What's your name? " the masked guy asked.

" I.. i am Michael. Michael Gorgoe." he said

" Aha, thanks for telling me all that, Michael. Were friends don't worry. Your safe here just say the name. The name of the person who called the hit. " The masked guy added.

" I.. i.. i dont know, i swear i don't. They told me they wouldn't tell me their names for privacy reasons." He spoke. " He said they would have someone else finish the job if I didn't accept. I wanted that money sir so I knew I had to do it. I had no other choice. I nodded and agreed to take on the task, even though I had no idea who was behind it. I was desperate of it." He added

" okay, thank you Michael." He said while turning to Liam.

"Take him to our place, he's doesn't know anything." he told Liam while winking at him.

Liam took Michael while they were about to leave, the masked guy called Liam and told him to take Michael to the other direction from where his wife is.

"Understood sir" Liam said.

After they left he went to his wife. he had to deal with her quitely no one was supposed to know that Lana was taken by him. Especially her father and his people.

Upon entering, he found her dozing on the seat. "She's tired." He whispered.

He looked at her with a caring look, soft and attentive, different from how he looked at her while awake. He gently caressed her hair and kissed her forehead. He felt a warmth in his heart that he had never felt before.

Lana suddenly opened her eyes and saw him. " Is everything okay? Who was it? Why was i hearing the sound of gunshot? " She asked as he pulled back his face and returned the cold look.

" Ooh it was nothing really, just some people with fucking death wishes. " He responded.

"What you said led me to want ask you a question." I said.

He nodded.

"What is your name?" I asked

" Max. " The masked guy replied.

"Max who?" I insisted.

"Just know it's Max that's it. No more questions, we need to leave." He said

" Where are we going? " I asked surprised.

" I'm taking you home Lana. Where do you expect to end up? Huh? " He said as he pulls me to follow him.

"I wonder how he knew my name but I'm not surprised since kidnapers know who they are after." I thought. 

20 minutes later.

"Where is this place?" I asked.

It's huge and beautifully decorated.

The house is a magnificent structure with grandeur and elegance. It's size is remarkable, and the walls are long and impressive.

The windows are huge, allowing an abundance of natural light to pour into the rooms. The beauty of the house is truly breathtaking, with every detail carefully designed to create a sense of luxury and sophistication.

As I approach the house, the first thing I notice is the vastness of the exterior. The walls are tall and extensive, giving the impression of strength and stability. The large windows are a striking feature, providing a glimpse of the interior and making the house appear even more spacious.

The house's interior is equally impressive, with every room designed to perfection. The high ceilings and expansive spaces create a sense of grandeur and openness. The windows in each room are colossal, allowing for an uninterrupted view of the surroundings.

The house's decor is modern, yet timeless, with a focus on clean lines and natural materials. The furniture is carefully selected to complement the overall design, with a perfect balance of comfort and elegance.

I was stunned to speak. Suddenly, I remembered Max's words.

Wait Max, I called out. " You said you were taking me home. What is this place? This is not my home."

"Actually, I meant my house not yours." He simply responded.

"Max, we need to talk! I don't like people who use roundabouts instead of being direct about what they want. You kidnapped me, Then called me your wife, oh, sorry, it's your wife-to-be. Then you said you would protect me and at the same time act coldly to me as if your job here is to kill me. Who are you? I refuse to stay here! You're not going to forcing me are you? " I said boldly. 

Max stared at me just as he said, " that's more i like it. i tried holding it but your forcing me to take it out." He looked at me playfully.

" Okay, I'm leaving enjoy your stay Mr Max nobody. " I said as I turned to leave.

Liam tried to stop me but Max told him it was fine, and that I would return in no time.

I left to find myself in the deep dark forest. The house was surrounded by a dark forest that for once made me hesitate. I was okay at first, but that was only until i heard something behind me. I turned to find nothing and chose ignorance as I continue to walk.

I walked and walked but didn't get anywhere. It was more like I was getting deep in the forest. Than finding my way back. I decided to take some time of, resting down to find a pair of eyes watching me. I looked closely and saw a wolf. I tried to calm myself down but the wolf kept coming close to me. The closer it got, the bigger it was. In the next minute everything became dark.

I woke up to find myself sleeping next to Max. I looked around but no one else was there. I stood up and proceeded to take a shower after i was done. I tried to wake Max up.

Upon awakening, Max buckled my neck forcefully with his hands.

I had trouble breathing as Max tightened my throat. Max didn't hear me when i tried to call him to stop. I tried to escape but luckly Max recognised me and stopped tying my neck
