25. Never trust a stranger

Rick was out of head with anger, he was breaking everything in his way as he paced around his vacation home. He sent all his men on the run to search for Alexa. He would do everything and turn the world upside down and inside out to find his daughter.

"Find heeer!" He sent the next group of men to a specific location to search for his daughter. They had to search the whole of Vienna first. He flew all his men in from everywhere to search for her.

Angela watched all his actions carefully without a word neither did he ask for her advice. She watched and waited until he was slightly calm and not giving orders before she spoke, "Before we send the men on a goose chase it's best if we find out who kidnapped her first, we don't even know what they're supposed to be looking for exactly. What if they trespass a dangerous territory."

Rick turned to her with a fierce gaze, his grey eyes widening with every breath he took, his breathing came out in rasp hushes as he was overwhelmed with anger. He was shabbily dressed in a shirt and large pants.

"Do you think I joke with my precious daughter?."

"No, I'm just saying we should wait for the kidnappers to call for a ransom or something or name their price" she told him softly and sympathetically.

"It's up to 24 hours already. Wait till they send me her head?" He began moving towards her dangerously.

"No I'm just saying. This might just be a scheme to distract you. Now that you've sent out all your men you're completely vulnerable. Just stay calm and lets do this reasonably."

"A bloody idiot is with my precious daughter and you're talking to me about reasoning?" He spat, literally.

Angela began to step back away from him, "Rick. I want to find her as much as you do. I'm just giving you a little piece of advice, you know I'm always right!."

"Then explain this" he brought out a cell phone from his pocket, so close to her now, he shoved the phone in her face, "You and that Konrad guy have cost me a lot eyy!. I'm the bloody idiot for bringing you into this family, for trusting you. You bloody betrayal."

She didn't have to look at the screen to see that it was the video of her and Levi, she could hear her own moans.

"I gave you everything. Money. Power. Fame. You posing in those magazines is all because of me" he gripped her throat. "I wanted to wait till you were vulnerable before I start killing you slowly but now I'll just do it. Are you behind my daughter's kidnap?."

"No. No. I promise" she said chokingly.

"Why are you going about with that Konrad?. You fucked his brother and now you're fucking him while you're under my roof."

Angela lost her cool, "I won't need him to satisfy me if you simply could do it yourself."

That was all Rick needed to hear, he squeezed her throat very tightly with anger, "where is my daughter?. What have you done with her?."

"I....I...I..."

He gripped her throat with one hand and punched her face with the other.

With one hand, he sent her flying across the room towards the wall. After her head hit the wall, her eyes closed and she passed out.

****

She groaned starting to regain consciousness. Her vision drawled out in a long blur in front of her, her face felt stiff with the dried blood on it.

She ran her tongue over her dried lips and gasped as she felt a sharp pain realizing her lips were bursted.

She tried to move but couldn't, her body was tied to something, she wiggled and felt the rope around her wrist and ankle and her entire body.

She was tied to the bed post in their bedroom with ropes. Her body was tied tightly to the bed post and she couldn't move at all. Okay she was done for.

The door creaked and Angela flinched, her heart skipped a beat and her face ashened in fright. Oh no! Rick was coming to kill her, she wasn't ready to die, she still struggled with the ropes which was futile.

"Oh Lord!."

A cleaning bucket with a down pressed wringer fell down to the floor spilling soapy water, the lady it fell down from gasped in shock seeing Angela.

"Oh my gosh!" The lady gasped.

It was the cleaning lady from the cleaning agent that came to clean their home everyday. Oh gosh she was saved.

"What's the problem?" The second one asked coming into the picture.

"Oh my!" She gasped too seeing Angela.

"Untie me" Angela said slowly struggling to speak.

The two women exchanged looks. Mess with the mafia men business?. They knew for sure who they were working for and who's house they were cleaning. They knew he could kill them without hesitation if he willed.

"Hmm we're sorry but we can't."

"You know me right?. I'm popular, I have money I know people. If you untie me I'll pay you. I'll pay you enough to travel to where he'll never find you I promise."

The two women exchanged looks again.

"I promise!" She said looking at them pitifully.

The two women snapped and went over to her and began to untie her, they removed all the ropes tied around her.

"Thank you" she said as they helped her up.

She staggered to the dresser and opened the dresser while they watched.

Angela pulled out a gun threatenly at them.

The two women gasped as she pointed it at them, they moved back frightened.

"Throw the keys on your belt!" She ordered.

The first lady that came in threw all the keys around her belt on the floor and raised her hands in the air again.

"Never trust a stranger!" She said before shooting a bullet at their feet, shooting one bullet each into their legs.

As they fell down heavily on the floor with screams and sobs she grabbed the keys and made a run for it.
