Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Eight

*Breaking News*

“The Famous Investor and Finance Broker is under arrest for his involvement in criminal activities.

A video emerged of his confession to his crimes.

The video was displayed underneath

Maxwell stood in front of Turner with his eyes seething in anger “You know me right, he said. I have been a criminal for years and done lots of shady things including murdering your very own brother, so don’t tempt me”. Fiona Williams is off limits, you touch her I will have you staked”.

It has been speculated that the attack that recently happened during the competition that Ms Williams had organized was due to the refute of Mr Harold’s enemies and those he had killed in the past thus her death was used to set an example for them”.

When Fiona woke up two weeks later, she was no longer in the hospital.

Welcome back Ahn greeted her with a smile, he looked angry and sad. What’s wrong? I need water, she whispered.

Here take some, he said to her gently. What happened? She asked in a faint voice after taking a sip.

You were shot, Ahn pointed out. By you, Fiona said to him you said it will hurt and it does.

No that wasn’t me, Ahn shook his head making her furrow. Someone else shot you.

You were supposed to be dead but I snuck you out of the hospital without anyone’s notice.

The gun that shot you has poison in it. Fiona tried to sit up but the pain on her shoulder shot up making her wince.

How is that possible? Fiona asked. I don’t know, my man was killed and replaced. I guess the person thought I was the one.

He is closing the loose ends Fiona said.

What do you think will happen now? Fiona asks weakly but Ahn only shrugs.

You should be hungry and you need a bathe, you reek of blood, he changed the subject. I will have someone come up to take care of that.

I got you some clothes to change into, he said and was about to stand up when she stopped him.

Something is already wrong right? She said, But Ahn shook his head.

Please do as I say and if you are not too tired come find me in my study. I want to show you something.

Okay, she nodded then saw him leave.

****

What do you mean by they went missing? Cassie asked Mark in a tamed anger. Calm down, Ms Williams.

We are looking at the surveillance right now to check for any irregularities but Ms Fiona is nowhere to be found, Mark said to her.

And the police? Cassie asked. Already on the case, he answered assuredly.

Mark was kept in a tight spot. His friend was in custody and his Fiance who was in a coma was nowhere to be found.

He left the wailing sister to her fiance and rushed to meet Mr Anthony Harold who was rushed to the hospital this morning on hearing the news.

How is it possible for someone who can’t move to disappear all of a sudden Cassie asked Thomson who was rubbing her back gently.

She will be fine Cass, Thompson assured her but Cassie wasn’t having it. She saw Turner at the corner of her eyes making his way to them but she turned away not wanting to see him.

Cass Turner called her name. I… he was about to say when Cassie flared. I don’t think I needed to hear anything, Mr Turner, she said coldly. You’ve done enough.

Her statement broke his heart but he pushed it aside. He wanted to at least reach Cassie. I wasn’t aware of all this he said to her calmly.

Please believe me. I should? Cassie ask. How should I? You used the conversation he had with you in a fit of rage to get him arrested, my sister was shot for you and her fiance in custody for a crime he never committed.

And you want to explain. Maxwell won’t even cry for her, he has shut down completely after seeing her lifeless on that slab for ours.

Do you know what he is constantly murmuring? She asked him seething “Please wake up. I can take it if you yell at me, not your silence”.

For two weeks since the incident, he hasn’t said anything more than that. He wouldn’t eat or drink anything. He just laid there in a ball lifeless and you want to apologize.

I understand you. Cassie said. Seeing Fiona lifeless, I wanted to ruin things but I wouldn’t have done it by putting my friends in danger.

So please, save your words, Mr Turner, I am not in the mood to speak to you, let us go she said to Thompson but Turner was not having it.

Sorry Tom Turner said to him then carried a shrieking Cassie off the grounds with Thompson following their trail.

If there was one thing Thompson could deduce from all these it was the fact Turner was in love with Fiona which was extremely obvious despite being married to another.

His love may or may not have stemmed from the past, but it was so clear that it hurt the eyes, despite staying faithful to his wife and never pursuing her.

That kind of man would not have done that to her either. Perhaps he never pegged Turner as someone who would publicly disgrace Max for his revenge.
