Chapter 31
“Tell me the truth or I will fucking pull this trigger in you brainless head!” Kier is pointing the gun at a man sitting in the chair almost lifeless.
He clenched his jaw, he lost almost 25 minutes trying to get information from this jerk.
Conrad is just smoking at his back while his feet are on the table.
He split the blood on his mouth to him. He smirked. “I am loyal to my master and I won’t say anything to you, go on pull the trigger I am not scared of death.” He challenged him.
Kier didn't think twice to hit him, he kicked him in the face real hard, he coughed blood, he had been tortured and what the sense of telling the truth if he will face death.
Might as well kill him.ing
“You won't find a lead, we are m-making sure of it.” He coughs again, he has a hard time talking, his left hand got broken and his clothes are stained with blood. There's also blood running to his head.
His body ached so much.
Kier's patience is just thin, so he pulled the trigger. He didn’t get satisfied with the one bullet, he shot him in the head, chest and legs.
“Clean this mess.!” He ordered Conrad men to clean the mess and he exiled the gun on the man.
He furiously sat on the chair, near Conrad.
“What’s with you, Saltzman? Just relax and let destiny give you an answer to the missing piece of yourself.” He said and hit the cigarettes.
Kier runs his finger through his hair, he has been stressed and never rests, that's what he expected the moment he gots here.
“When did you believe in fucking destiny? Destiny is just a human illusioon!” He gets cigar from the table and about to light it when he heard his wife voice reminding him to not smoke, he exile iyt furiously. “Fuck it!”he came in europe for a important reason.
“If I let destiny help me, I already died at that moment. If I don't make any move, I will die without knowing it.!”
Conrad is looking at the cigar he exiled and he picked it up and put it on the table. He is wasting a damn expensive cigar.
“Stop wasting my treasure luxury black, I just bought these cigars yesterday.” He glares at him and lights up another stick.
Conrad lean in the chair so relaxing. His men already clean the mess. “You already killed twenty mens. Are you here to kill everyone?” He asked jokingly.
“Oh, your agent is here.'' Conrad informs Kier when someone gets in with his all balck custom.
Kier just nodded at his hired secret agent and hacker for decades. He put down his laptop in the small round table and opened it.
“I am having a hard time finding your sister, this is a really hard mission.” He said while shaking his head. The agent gave him the folder he is holding. “I got information but I am not sure if they were true. I amMore than hundred percent that your sisters already die.” He said.
Kier looks at those papers.
“Don't you have any picture of her or him? It's hard to find someone without a source, I need strong proof of pictures, or something about that person.” He said.
Kier didn’t give him anything, he just said he had a sibling and guess, he wasn’t sure about the gender.
“I found a lot of people that may be related to you and I have been searching the orphanage that you mention.” He is a hacker and a secret agent. He is a italian agent.
“I lost her picture accidentally.'' He blurted out, losing his hope. They have their picture together, as he is carrying the baby.
The agent sighed. “I'll try my best to find a lead about her but my instinct is saying that he already died, if he dies I'll make a further investigation of her death.” He informed and licked his lip.
Kier just looked at the papers intently.
Conrad gets the folder from kier. “Ah, you look like this child, man.” Conrad commented when he saw the child.
“He is too young and you have the same eyes.'' He looks at the other pages.
“Conrad, in this world, we have six that look alike.” Kier said while looking at the papers too.
“Yeah, why are you trying to find your siblings? Is he or she going to inherit something?” Conrad makes a joke.
Kier glares at him.
“That's the only family I have except my wife.”
“Oh, I see, you are such an understanding husband, Under.” He mocked and laughed.
The hacker snickered.
“Why are you trying to find your siblings? You have your wife and build a family with her.” Conrad suggested.
“You can't just forget an important person in your life.” He deeply said.
“But bro, you said he or she was still a baby when you two separated, you didn't even know if she was a girl or a boy.” Conrad snorted out. “You are crazy, you want to find your sibling wherein you don't have anything to remember.” Conrad shakes his head in disbelief. “At least we need something to look up to.
Kier’s brain goes to his feet.
Conrad is laughing at him, he already wasted a million dollars because of his siblings, this is his second time to come here because of his siblings. His hacker is here not in his country.
“But, have you seen your cousin again? You to looks the same.'' Conrad said out of sudden and continued flipping the papers.
“Same eyes and same shape of face. Maybe she is your sibling?” He asked unsurely but he also retracted what he had said. “But it's impossible, she is the real daughter of your auntie.” Conrad accidentally saw the picture of Layla.
Kier gave him a hint.
“Kier, man, sometimes destiny is playing at you. You don't know, you two already met each other, you just don't know.” Conrad said in a deep meaning.
The agent is just busy looking at the screen on his laptop. “Look at this, sir.” The agent showed him a picture on his laptop.
The moment Kier saw it, he clenched his fist when he saw who it was. His jaw tightened. His face became dark.
I HUGGED my mom and cried on her shoulders.
"My god! What happened to you?!" She asked hysterically. She releases from the hug and holds my both shoulders. She looks angry and furious.
"Who made you cry? Does your husband hurt you?!" She accused.
I shake my head as the answer of no. I couldn't talk because I already broke down in front of her and I cried hard.
I can't stop myself from crying.
It's really heavy.
It’s really hurt.
Why is living so hurtful?
Why do we need to experience pain before happiness?
"Let's come inside." I sense danger in her voice.
She let me sit on the couch and notice the burn in my hand. "What is this?! Does he give you a hellish life? Tell me!" She shakes my shoulder, for me to speak.
I am just shaking my head. I'm trying real hard. I am crying because of a lot of reasons. One of them is because I want him to be here and I miss him already. I want to see my husband. I feel safe in his arms.
“Tell me! Did he scourge to you, huh?! Tell me the truth, Shielyn!” My mom threatened me. I shake my head real hard.
I am just shaking my head in response.
“And these?! Why do you have sear in your hands?” She checked the sear in my hands and I fling because it hurts.
The was the cause of the coffee, when I split it the half was splitted on my hand and it was smoking hot.
She gets her phone and starts dialing, I am hearing the dialing tone.
“He is not answering!'' My mom is damn furious. “Let me go to to his company!” She shirked. I just shake my head at her trying to tell her that it's not my husband. I held my mom's hands and begged.
She will surely create scandalous if I don't stop her.
“I will teach him a lesson for hurting you. Where is my gun.” My heart throbs in nervousness when she mentions it.
“N-not hi-him!” I stammered and my voice was shaking.
“What the hell is happening here? Why are you shouting, honey?” My father came down from the stairs.
“Get my gun, hin. I'll just shoot someone in the head for hurting our daughter!.” I am still holding my mom's hand.
I shake my head to my father trying to send the message.
Why are they always accusing my husband? He is out of here.
My father sat beside me. “Honey, calm down.” My father said to my mom.
“My daughter.” My mom hugged me and she cried on my shoulder.
This scene may be dramatic.
“Who made you cry, huh? Tell me.” She is caressing my back and her voice becomes gentle. She is still hugging me and we are both crying.
My father caresses my back too.
“I’ll just get you a water princess. You hiccups because of crying too much.” My father told me.
I am started to feel a shortness of breathing. My chest is tightening, I can't speak or open my mouth, I feel weak. I couldn’t breathe. It's suffocating me. I push my mom a little bit for me to breathe and inhale air.
I drink the water that my father gave me.
“My daughter, this is my first time seeing you crying like this, tell us what happened, huh.” My mom releases the hug and she wipes her tears. Her eyes are swollen.
“I-I just mi-mi-miss you.” Part of it was true. I haven't seen them for a weeks.
I had been away from them for months.
“Honey, send someone in the company, get the hell Kier in that company, bring him here!” I sense that my mom is still mad.
I held her hand tightly. “ He is n-not here.” I said between my sobs.
I drink water again trying to calm myself.
“Where is he?! And he is not answering my calls!” That makes me hurt more. He is very busy.
I cry harder. He is not messaging me. What with him?
“Let me leave a message to him!” My mom furiously gets her phone again and taps on it real hard.
“From now on you will stay here! Don't go to his house anymore! He doesn't take care of you!” My mom was accused.
“Hey, Mr. Salztman! This is me! Your mother in law, my daughter is in my house, crying. Care to tell me where you are? And if you didn't show your face here in two day I won't give her to you and I will get my company!” She ended the call furiously.
My parents are too old and can’t handle the company anymore, and they convinced me to marry my husband if I didn't want to handle the company for them, they said my husband is the trusted partner and investor in the company. I said yes, because that's what they want, I am just following their advice and parents know the best.
THREE DAYS HAD PASSED
My husband didn't show up and he is not texting me either. I tried to call him but he is not answering my calls. My parents didn't let me go to work and leave this house. They are still mad. I told them that I just got scolded in the company and didn't do my best but still they blame my husband.
I feel sorry for him, he is being blamed.
I already explained to them that he left for business and they got me, when they asked when he was going home. I don’t know when he is going home. I lost contact with him.
Everyday hurts. I got hurt, it's getting hurtful and heavy.
Why am I being hurtful when he doesnt love me? I am not his priority but I am his wife! I still have the rights to know about him and got updated.
I guess I have deep feelings for him.
I don't want to show my face in the company where I work.
“Honey, someone waited for you in the living room!” My father peeked from the door and he smiled at me weirdly.
“Come down, don't make him wait.” His smile is different. “Don't forget to fix yourself before you face him, okay?” he winked at me. “I love you.” He said before he left me.
Who is that? Out of sudden visitors. My fathers smile creeps me out.
I just brush my hair using my fingers and I got down, I didn't expect someone today. I am still mourning to my broken heart.
I got down and no one was around except the man in the living room. He was standing facing the window and looking at our plants outside the window.
He is tall, his back is familiar and his hair is in clean shape. I smelled the air and his perfume was so strong that it stocked in my nostrils, his outfit, coat and trousers.
Is he here? When did he come home?
He is finally here.
“Ehem!” I got his attention and my world stops when he faces me.
“Hi.” He smiled at me. My heart stops from beating. “Long time no see. I miss you.” I couldn't move or utter a word, my strength vanished and my heart suddenly healed when I saw him.
He is here!
