Greg’s POV
“UHM, Greg it seems as though the tracker you planted on her has been tampered with, we can’t place her location”, Nelson, who was seated in front of a large computer screen, reported.
“Damn! Damn! Damn it!”, I cussed pulling at my hair in frustration. I had totally lost it, I felt like going bonkers that minute.
“Where exactly am I supposed to start from right now?”, I wondered within me.
This was my greatest fear and worst night mare! It had always been. The thought of Gianna’s life always in danger just because of me, and that was why I never wanted to admit my feelings to her in the first place.
“Why didn’t you gather more information from the maid?” Jones retorted, breaking into my chain of thoughts.
“That is because he killed her, before she could spill the beans”, Lionel uttered.
“You did what?” Nelson mumbled.
“This is no time for blame”, I uttered, scuttling out of the warehouse on a run.
“Greg! Wait up”, I could hear Lionel calling on me but I got no time to stop, I needed to find Gianna ASAP.
Clemson’s POV
I sat on the bed in my room surfing the internet, when I heard a soft knock on my door.
“Come in”, I muttered and instantly the door opened revealing one of my men.
“Master! Master Gregory is picking up a fuss right at the gate, we asked him to leave but he is insisting on seeing you”, he reported and I sat up.
“Is he alone?” I questioned him.
“No boss! He is with Lionel”, he uttered.
“I will be downstairs in a jiffy”, I muttered softly to him.
He bowed respectively and bolted out of the room.
What the hell was Greg doing here? He hardly comes over. I sneered, and lazily got down the bed, heading out.
The instant I got downstairs, Greg bounced brutally on me, taking me aback.
“Where are you hiding her?” He roared, punching me hard on the face until I began ducking his punches.
“Keeping who?” I questioned in befuddlement.
“Do not take me for a dunce, where did you keep Gianna?” He roared and realization suddenly dawned on me.
Anger surged through me, I clenched my fist and gave him a hard punch on his face.
He staggered backwards, regurgitating out some blood, Lionel who was standing some distance away hurriedly ran to him.
“Clems, it’s alright. I never knew this was his aim of coming here”, he uttered holding onto Greg.
“If it ever gets to my notice you are keeping her hostage, I will skin you and feed your skin to the owls, read my lips”, he threatened.
“Empty threat huh? I’m giving you until tomorrow night if you can’t find her then, you aren’t worthy of her, and then -“, a smirk appeared on my lips, “I would take her away from you if she is eventually found by my men. I mean every single damn word this time around”, I replied to him.
“Tsk! You -“, he was about to say something when his phone rang out loudly, cutting him short.
Greg’s POV
I suddenly felt the ringing of my phone as it vibrated on my skin, I quickly reached out to it, dipping my left hand in the back pocket of my pants.
Getting out the phone, I stared intently at the unfamiliar number appearing on my phone’s screen, I answered the call.
“Who is this?” I mumbled dismally.
“Ah! So I got the right person, Gregory Sojun” The person from the other end spoke and my heart sank at that very moment. I instantly figured out who had captured Gianna.
“What do you want with her?” I barked and turned away from Clemson, then I saw him hissed and disappeared into the house.
“All I want is simple to attain, you will have to look into the demand I made earlier to you, if you do, I promise your silky little fragile beauty will come back to you alive”, the voice snarled.
“Make sure to be snappy with whatever you have to do, or I will feed her to my dogs by dawn”, he added stupidly.
Instantly the nerves in my head stood erect.
“Gilchrist! I will kill you for what you have done”, I warned, meaning every single word.
He snickered.
“Fine! I will do whatever you want, don’t just hurt her”, I muttered.
“Be quick boy! Or watch her die a horrific death”, he growled and terminated the call.
God! I vowed to deal with Gilchrist. He just messed with the wrong person.
“Who was on the line?” Lionel questioned anxiously.
“Gilchrist”, I replied wearily.
“OMG! You mean the elderly Australian drug Lord?” He asked.
“Yes! Prepare the jet and split my properties into two parts, document and send me the documented”, I uttered.
“This is warrant madness!”
“You can’t do that brother. You can’t give half of your hard earned properties to that ungrateful freak”, Lionel blabbed.
“You don’t mean it right?” He added inquiringly.
I sighed and began walking out of the house, and he followed.
“Of course I do, I mean what I’m saying. Don’t you understand why I am doing this?” I paused to stare at him.
“I can’t let Gina be in the custody of Gilchrist one more second”, I uttered.
“Look brother, I understand you, and so I will ask you just one question”.
“All ears!” I replied, finally stepping out into the environment.
“Is she worth it? I mean is Gianna worth losing all your possessions for?” He questioned and I halted in my tracks.
I tilted my head towards him.
“She is worth more than anything in the world, I can’t trade her for anything. Do you want to know how far I can go?” I uttered, staring deep into his surprise filled eyeballs.
“I am ready to sacrifice my life, if the need be.” I replied.
He placed his hands on his mouth and shook his head.
“I have never seen you love a woman this much Greg, and it scares me”.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
I didn’t wait to listen to any more words from Lionel, I walked towards the car as quickly as I could. Gianna must not be in that evil man’s custody for long.
