Chapter 117
"Business moguls who tried to dupe the great Barinov empire? Oh, your parents are funny people, and I caught them, but then I sent Anfisa to drag his brother back to Russia, and he kept his headstrong attitude, then Anfisa reported to me that he might have someone we can trap him with, and it's you" The woman said, and Nadine stepped back.
"Anfisa...?"
"I've talked too much, and now I'm tired, it's hightime you meet your parents. Akem!" The woman snapped, and a long-haired handsome Russian guy stepped out of the car too.
He came for Nadine, but Nadine began running out of the compound.
She wasn't even a match, cos he easily slapped a drugged handkerchief to her nose from behind, and Nadine easily went limp
She was dragged into the car, which drove out of the compound instantly.
As they drove away, Anfisa drove to a stop in front of the mansion, and she came out of her car.
Immediately she saw the car driving off, she recognized that style of driving.
Akem drives like a nutcase.
"Shit" she muttered, getting her phone.

\[A Mighty Teak Tree\]
The tree is in the middle of Obsidian island, and the guys choose this place as their resting spot tonight.
The tree is on fire cos Warren set it on fire, and they're all seated on a brick not far from the burning tree, watching it raze and raze.
Ashton's tongue is blue from the pop he's licking, and Konstantin has a smoke between his lips.
Capri has alcohol, and Warren has nothing, he's just watching the burning tree desolately.
"I could cûm in my pants by just watching this burn" Konstantin muttered.
"I'm pretty sure Evelyn is in the country right now, but finding her is the task" Ashton said.
The ringing of Konstantin's phone interrupted them, and he pulled out the phone to see 'Fisa' calling.
"Yeah?" He swiped green.
"Galina took Nadine" she said, and he frowned.
"Which Galina?"
"Which other Galina do you know? Mother!" Anfisa snapped, and Konstantin jumped down the brick immediately.
He rushed out of the forest.
"Wifey!" Ashton went after him.
Capri stayed back with Warren, sparing him a glance.
"You ok? Your silence is prickling" he said, and before Warren could reply, he got a brainstorm.
That day when he bumped into Matron at the family house, and a pendulum pocket watch fell from her.
He jumped down the brick immediately.
"War!" Capri jumped with her, rushing after him outta the forest.

\[Creed's Family House\]
Warren's car entered with a loud screech, and Capri raced behind him as they both stepped into the house.
Lydia and Elder Creed are consuming dinner in the dinning, and Lydia immediately stood.
"Young Lord?" She said surprisingly.
Warren just ignored and went straight to late Matron's room, but all her things are gone.
"I burnt all her things according to Elder's orders" Lydia said.
"Where?" Warren faced her, and Lydia took him and Capri to the backyard where the black remains from Matron's burnt things is.
Everything burnt completely, well except for the pendulum pocket watch which is still there.
Only one side of it got burnt, and it's still working.
"The fûck is going on?" Capri asked.
"What are you gonna do with Matron's watch?" Lydia said.
"That's not just a watch" Elder Creed said, wheeling himself out on his wheelchair.
Warren faced him.
"It's an hypnotist's pendulum, Matron was a hypnotist" Elder Creed spoke again, and Warren's hand folded on the watch, so much that it entered his palm skin, wounding him madly.
"I don't know how I agreed to give fake testimony that day. I only remember refusing to do it when Evelyn told me to. But the next thing I remembered was me entering court"
Ixora's words from the flashdrive video sounded in his head, and the pocket watch delved into his palm fresh.
His blood dripped on the ground, and he began walking out.
"War! The fûck!" Capri went after him again.

\[Cali Core Prison\]
Rafael has been pleading with the guards to allow him see Ixora since daybreak, but no one even gave him attention.
He has been here since morning, seated at the visiting room patiently.
He knows they won't let him sleep here, it's either they allow him see her or he involves violence.
He's clutching at the birthday gift he got her—keys to a private jet, and a chocolate-coloured cake.
Even if she won't be able to fly the jet right now, he'd wait till she'd get out of here cos he won't stop running till he gets her out.
But at least, he could share the cake with her.
He zipped down his pullover when a guard approached him.
"Not doing this because of anything else, but because everyone is saying you're a good man. I'll get her for you to see" the guard said, and Rafael stood.
"Thank you! Thank you"
The guard left with a nod, entering the notorious hall.
The noisy inmates went silent as he walked towards Ixora's prison room, his steps precise.
He pushed the room door open, and he was greeted by the smell of something rotten which took him by surprise.
He further pushed the room door open, and his eyes widened horrifically at what he saw.
Ixora's body, hung with a rope on her neck—to the ceiling!
Dead.
