Chapter 93 Find her

Chapter 93 Find her
Griffin's eyes widened; the sharp tip of the glass was close to his face already. He managed to block the attack using his left hand. However, the glass pierced through his palm, tearing off the flesh underneath because of the force.

"Fuck!!!" Griffin roared in pain.

Old Mavis let out a small smile. She is really Diego's wife. His smile dropped when Griffin flipped Candy over.

He was now on top. When Candy tried to move, Griffin took one of the glass pieces and placed it on her neck. His teeth gritted as he tried to hold the pain she had inflicted. She tried to move.

"One move and I swear I'll cut your fucking neck!" he barked, and Candy stayed still.

She suddenly started to laugh, surprising Griffin. She asked, "How did you kill him?"

"Tssk... Why do you want to know?" he asked.

"Am I not allowed to know how my husband died, big guy?" she asked.

Vincent held a disturbing look the entire time. His thoughts were in total mess.

Griffin was seeing a completely different woman. Not the one that looked innocent... just that thought made him want her the more.

What a nice wife his brother has.

"Well, you know, Shortie. I took over a clan and trapped your husband there with bombs all over. He blew up with the building," Griffin replied with a smirk.

"Still a fucking coward," Candy scoffed. The sharp glass was still on her neck, and her body was pinned by his weight.

"You must still be thinking your husband is alive. Sorry to burst your bubbles, sweetheart, but I saw his body burnt all over!" he spat.

"Griffin, let her go!" Old Mavis spoke, worried for Candy.

Griffin switched to holding Candy's neck, squeezing it hard, choking her.

Her hand reached for his, trying to remove it.

"Just let darkness creep in, Candy. When you wake up, we'll be having a wedding," he smirked.

Candy hissed at the pain he was inflicting. He was strong, probably as strong as her husband. A fist-fight with him isn't a good idea.

Candy could feel herself losing consciousness because of the lack of breath. She tried fighting against it, but her eyes closed against her will.

Griffin released her and took a deep breath. His hand was bleeding badly, blood dripping down from some parts of his body where the glass had pierced through.

If he hadn't been fast enough, Candy would have killed him. That was the last reaction he had expected from her.

At night, Griffin's wounds were cleaned, a bandage wrapped around his hand, and his gaze cold.

A maid stepped in, pouring out a glass of water according to his request.

"Is she awake?" Griffin asked. Candy had been asleep for over three hours. It was almost night already, and he was planning to take her somehow.

Not with force, but in a way she'll submit herself to him. A smile crept on his face as he ordered the maid, "Check her out again."

The maid left after a bow and headed towards the room where Candy was.

When she opened the door, she found Candy lying with her eyes closed in the dark room. She was still asleep. The maid had seen the scene hours ago and felt bad for the woman. With a sad look, she left the room.

As the door closed, Candy's eyes flew open. She sat up and took the rope she had been preparing. After she finished, she wore black pants, a shirt, and a cap. A backpack hung on her shoulder.

Diego is somewhere out there, and she could feel it.

This was the reason she hadn't let a cry out even after hearing the news. She opened her palm and stared at the bracelet in her hand.

'I'm coming, Di,' she thought.

At midnight, Griffin couldn't contain his urge, so he marched his way to Candy's room.

The moment he opened the door, his eyes darkened. Shortie was nowhere to be found.

"Find her!!" he roared at his minions.

(PRISON)

Silence hung through the air as several men sat on the floor in their prison jumpsuits.

Aiden bit his lips, staring at Jameson sitting around the corner.

"He has been like that for days," Aiden spoke beside Einstein, who also turned his head to him.

Without a word, Einstein stood and walked to sit beside Jameson.

"When was the last time you ate well? You look like a ghost," Einstein said, and Jameson sighed.

"Don't try to console me," Jameson said in a hoarse voice.

"We should at least hold our ground. We still have people out there to protect," Einstein said to the broken guy.

It was time for lunch; all prisoners came out, heading towards a large hall. The trio went to the counter, having servers delivering meals.

Jameson took his and went to sit around a quiet corner.

"That punk is going to kill himself with thinking," Einstein mumbled, going to sit with him. Aiden did the same.

A figure stepped in. Pink short hair, slim and tall. He seemed too beautiful to be a man. Eyes stared at him as he walked towards the trio and sat with his meal.

They all looked up at him at once and frowned.

"What's up?" he said, his voice pretty tiny.

"You kinda look familiar," Aiden mumbled.

"I am familiar," came the reply.

"Phoenix?" Einstein figured out. They didn't recognize her immediately because of the makeup that made her look like a man.

"Wow, you healed pretty fast," Aiden said.

"I was drugged with not much injury, so I was fine within three days. Your team is pretty awesome and secretive," she smiled.

"Thanks," Aiden smiled.

"What in the world are you doing here?" Jameson asked.

"To see you guys, dummy," Phoenix replied.

"So you cut your hair, changed your look, and where did your boobs go?" Jameson asked.

"I'll kill you," Phoenix said, but then hissed, rubbing her chest. "Gosh, I can't wait to take these off. I can't even breathe well. It was so hard to get in here. Right, I saw the 'give up' look on your face, Jameson."

Jameson sighed, looking away.

"Your sis, Jackie, and Candy need you guys. Besides, how sure are you Diego is dead?" Phoenix asked.

"I saw his body... but... I..." Jameson paused.

"And you think it's really him? You're the closest to Diego here, so think deeply about it," Phoenix said.

Jameson bit down his lip. That strange feeling he got when he saw the body. It feels like it wasn't him, but then... how did the bracelet get into his hand? He was holding it tight.

Phoenix swept her short hair backward at Jameson's silence. "Don't you guys think it's weird they transferred you back to the city? They said you terrorized Moscow. Why did they transfer you back to the city so quickly?"

Einstein looked back at the military men. They mostly looked in their direction.

"They work with Griffin," Einstein stated.

"Yeah, right," Phoenix mumbled.

"So you got into this prison because you wanted to check on us?" Aiden asked with a frown.

"I was wondering why you guys are taking so long here. Candy escaped the mansion... probably finding a way to travel to Moscow."

The trio's eyes widened.
