Embrace Love's

CH 65'S. Revenges

The car was driving through the crowd of roads. Take Marylin and Serge back to their apartment.

Serge reached out, clasped Marylin's hand and held their fingers together.

"You've always made me proud, Mary."

Marylin turned her head, smiling at her best friend.

"No, Serge. Some decisions in my life are mistakes, even crimes. Just because you've always been with me and supported me, I still dare to face everything." Marylin took a deep breath. Cupped his hands on their intertwined hands.

"I accepted it because the man included you. You're the one who takes care of everything. I trust you so much. You're not just my best friend Serge, you're like my own brother."

"But somehow I'm a little scared of that guy, Mary. It was like there was something he was hiding .. That's why I rejected his offer earlier," Serge said leaning back. He recalled the grin of victory that looked dreadful on Alrico Lucca's face when he heard Marylin accept his offer.

"Me too, the sparkle in her eyes was like telling me something unnatural. I really don't know him .. You do, right? Then why does he look after us both."

"Well .. Whatever the man wants, he promised to help Bernard save your brother. We'll hear back, then we'll face whatever happens in the future together. It's always like that, you support me and I support you" Serge said with an optimistic smile.

"I'm glad to hear that, Serge. You're right, what I need to fear. We'll face it together." Marylin breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing whatever he would face later, he knew he was not alone. There's always Serge who's gonna take care of him.

The building on the outskirts of the city seemed to be starting to quiet. Some residents who occupy rooms there have been relaxing in their respective rooms with locked doors.

In one of the rooms, a man was holding a baseball bat, twisting and swinging it repeatedly.

"I'll ask you a question and you'll have to answer correctly, Miss Catalina. Are you Leonard Bernard's mother?" Rodrigo swung his bat back, as if a ball was being thrown at him and he hit it right.

"Wuzzzhhhh ..," he said imitating as if the ball he hit had shot far away.

Catalina shook her head, her hair and clothes soaked after being doused with a bucket of water by her captor.

"I'm his mother or not!" catalina ketus.

The baseball bat flew back, this time the target was not an invisible ball, but Catalina's left calf.

"Ohhhhh!" Catalina screams in pain. His legs were bent due to the rigidity of the punch, making the rope that tied his hands tighten and scratch his wrists until they were blisters. The kidnapper laughed.

"That's what you get if you get the answer wrong!" yells.

Catalina stood with both hands tied up. A rope hung his hand to a wooden crossbar above the room. After being woken up with a bucket of water to her face, Catalina was pulled to her feet and tied to a wooden crossbar. Both of his legs were tied together.

"I didn't say I wasn't going to torture you. I just told Vincent I'd trade you for Joanna alive. But how you're doing after these 48 hours, it's none of Vincent's business." Laughter reverberated in the room.

"Someone will hear you!" exclamation Catalina.

"My room is soundproof, Miss Catalina. So no one will hear you when you scream in pain or ask for help."

Catalina gulps, the man who kidnapped her looks like a psychopath who does not hesitate to finish her if she does not obey.

"Just pray you're valuable to the Bernard family! Until they decide to come bring Joanna. You're the baby's mother, aren't you? Claude Bernard's girlfriend .. I've been watching you since the baby was introduced at the party as a successor and a new member of the Bernard family" she said .

Catalina understands her position is unfavorable if the man finds out she is only Leon's aunt. He will be eliminated if his position is deemed not valuable enough in Bernard's family according to the kidnapper.

"I'm not just a lover, I'm Claude Bernard's future wife and you're right, Leon is my son!"

The man smirked with satisfaction.

"So say Miss Catalina ... will they come with Joanna?"

"of course! But you won't have a chance!"

"Why is that?"

"You're alone! You'll die before you touch Joanna!"

The man was wide open, he was sitting on a chair with a baseball bat on his shoulder.

Catalina. This guy was gonna blow them all up.

"You're too confident! If Claude agrees to exchange me, his place will not be determined by you! They'll decide the place!"

"I've anticipated it. I'm a hit man, Miss Seymor. My fellow assassins are cold-blooded, just need money and a little pat on the shoulder for them to help me. That location will be targeted by some snipers who will directly hit the heart of Joanna Bernard."

Rodrigo twisted his wand on the shoulder while looking at Catalina with a cynical smile. He had to wait 48 hours to carry out his plan. Vincent is very strict with his bodyguards to protect the woman. After staking out with Amber, a hitman who works with her, Yoana is finally seen out and she has a chance. But he and Amber could not get close.

Until his plans change when in the elevator he catches Catalina wet looking at him while he is staring at Vincent. Making Catalina an easier medium of exchange.

He could make a new plan after two days. After putting Catalina in her rented room, she had to go out again doing one job. His money ran out to heal his face.When he fell off a cliff, he was still alive with a crushed face. He ran away and hid. Deliberately leaving a tear of his clothes near his splattered blood so that Vincent thinks he is dead by the beast beneath the cliff.

Little by little he managed to raise money and finance the surgery that had to be done several times. He's gonna need the help of other assassins, Amber and Lucaz, when he's gonna trade Catalina. Amber and Lucaz won't miss, both very accurate snipers. Both must be paid.

There is a job contract that will be done in the next 2 days for a very large fee. He will give his share to both men.

The plan to kidnap Catalina was a sudden plan that popped up in his brain when he took Amber out to spy on Joanna Bernard. Rodrigo's original intent was to capture Joanna. She had not expected Joanna to go out with Catalina for shopping. If he knew, it would be easier to shoot Yoana from a distance while she was in the Mall.

"There's no ring on your finger, Miss Catalina. Tell me, has Claude not proposed to you yet? It was only fitting that they only introduced Leon .. but kept a secret who Leon's mother was."

The man approached, standing in front of Catalina.

"Who exactly are you? What was Joanna's fault until you wanted her life?"

Plaque!

One hard slap landed on Catalina's cheek. The girl closed her eyes, pain and agony spread across her cheeks, making her ears ring.

"Don't answer my question with Miss Catalina's question!" Rodrigo held Catalina's cheek with his fingers. Pinched firmly and pointed Catalina's face in front of her.

"You want to know? That's because Vincent killed my lover! That's why her lover must die too!"

"You want revenge? But Yoana's not Vincent's girlfriend!" Catalina boldly looked at the man's eyes.

Laughter comes out of Rodrigo's lips.

"They loved each other a long time ago. Vincent is still in the family because he can't basically leave the Miss Joanna he loves!" Then suddenly the man's hand slammed into Catalina's face.

"You know ... You're pretty, how about you serve me first before I go out? Hm? Count it as entertainment for you for the next two days, because I'll leave you alone here before my deal with Vincent is done."

Catalina growled at the kidnapper's words. He boldly spat and the disgust on his face was clearly drawn. He looked at the man who was drooling on his face with his upper arm.

"You did dare Miss ...."

Then one loud slap landed again on Catalina's cheek. This time the corner of the girl's lips broke. Catalina's head felt dizzy and spinning. Not yet Catalina opened her eyes, she felt another blow on both of her calves. His pain was unbearable, Rodrigo did not stop, he continued to swing the bat to Catalina's feet until finally the two legs of the girl was no longer able to support her body. He drooped, hanging with a rope that tied his hands up.

Rodrigo screeched, throwing his wand at the sight of the girl already drooping. He reached out, raising Catalina's bowed face. Blood flowed from Catalina's broken lips. The girl's eyes closed, fainting.

"You passed out very quickly, Miss Catalina. I'm not content to have fun with you."

Rodrigo let go of his hand, making Catalina's head bow. Then the man went to the bedroom, took a jacket and a canvas bag with his weapons and tools. He went back out and took the black hat on the back hanger of the door. After putting on the hat, he glanced at the unconscious Catalina one last time and stepped into another room filled only by a table and a long sofa. Rodrigo headed for the door, opened it and exited before closing it back quietly and locking it.
