FORBIDDEN PASSION STEPCHILDREN

Chapter 25. Rico Apartments

Rico ruffled his hair in frustration, the young man had already done many ways to find Karen. But, his efforts really did not produce anything, even he had started to give up a little to find out. Whether Arion hides Karen, his plans go very smoothly.

"Sir" call one of Rico's men.

Rico who initially lowered his head in straight up his body, he seemed very enthusiastic because it was possible that this man brought the latest news about Karen's whereabouts.

"What's? You found out where Karen is?" ask Rico penaaran.

The man shook his head slowly, then began to explain, "I've already found out from some people nearby Mr. Arion, but they all said that they did not know where Karen was. From that moment on, Karen just disappeared. They knew that Mr. Arion had taken her, but they didn't know where Karen had been taken. I've also tried to force them to be honest and not hide anything, but they've all kept their mouths shut."

Rico who heard that directly hit the table, the young man was very furious, inexplicably his Papi was very hearty to hide Karen. Rico is also worried that if Karen is pitched there, he does not know the mindset of his father when angry.

"What exactly is the purpose of Pqpi doing this? I'm sure the house people know, but they must have been threatened with silence. I'm not going to let this happen, I have to ask them myself" Rico muttered with emotion. The young man's face looked very red, indicating that he was currently very angry.

Rico knew it was his fault for having been in contact with Karen even though she was now his stepmother, but Arion shouldn't have hidden Karen like this. At least he would feel relieved if he knew where Karen was, he wanted to know if the woman was okay or not.

At the moment he is very disappointed with his Papi, from the beginning he finds out that Arion is married to Karen, he already does not like, that's why he is in a secret relationship behind Arion. Especially now that he tried to separate her from Karen, Arion hid the woman he loved, it felt like he no longer wanted to meet with Arion. But, however, the middle-aged man remained his Papi and he was the only one who knew of Karen's whereabouts right now.

It looks like Rico this time should be able to hold back his emotions and try to persuade Arion, but before that he wants to do a search himself. If it is still not producing anything, then he had to beg Arion to find out where Karen is.

Honestly, as long as there was no Karen, Rico felt very confused. Every night he was very restless, he also did not have good quality sleep. Rico continues to think whether Arion can do reckless to hurt Karen, because he feels betrayed.

Whenever he thought of that, Rico always imagined Karen's shady face being flooded with tears. The young man was very sure that Karen was out there crying a lot because of this, she also felt very guilty, Rico was upset why not just him who was exiled. She doesn't like it if Karen has to suffer because of this problem, however the beginning of all this is from Rico.

"Listen to me carefully, I don't want results like this. I need you to find me again, whatever way I want to know where Karen is. Understood!" Rico said that very firmly. The young man is very earnest if he wants to get something, while he can still try anything.

"Good, Sir. I'll find out again, "reply with Rico.

"Then get out now."

"Okay sir" said the man again.

After that, Rico's man goes to leave the young man's apartment. Meanwhile, Rico also begins to think about what way he should do to meet Karen, one way is to find out through his Papi's private driver. But Rico knew that if the man was very loyal to Arion, it would be a little difficult.

During the trip, Rico really hopes that his father's driver can help him by telling where Karen is. Rico also planned to bribe him with money, because maybe in such a way that Arion's driver could open his voice.

Rico's car arrived in front of Arion's company building, and he parked it in the parking lot. Rico could see that his Papi's car was there, which driver must have been there. The young man knew where the driver was, the cafeteria, usually he would wait there. Without delaying any more, Rico went straight there and sure enough, the driver Arion was there with a cup of coffee.

"I want to ask you something" Rico said when he was in front of the driver.

The driver was very surprised by Rico's arrival, he stood up and asked, "What's up, young master?"

"I want you to tell me where Papi's hiding Karen." Rico immediately said what his goal was. The young man's jaw was hardened, indicating that he was very serious at the moment.

"Sa-I don't know," the driver replied.

Rico tilted his head slightly, suspecting that the driver knew something. Otherwise, he would have replied calmly and would not have stamped. "Don't lie to me, I know that you know everything. Quickly tell me where Karen is hidden?!" snapped Rico.

"I really don't know, Sir. Mr. Arion never asked me to hide Miss Karen," replied the driver, bowing his head slightly.

"Then if I open it with you, who's Papi going with, huh?" Rico's voice was so loud that it became the center of attention.

"I don't know. I really don't know anything."

Rico had been quiet ever since, the young man had his eyes closed. From the driver's confession it seems he did not know anything, but Rico should not believe it. "How much did Papi pay you to shut up? I'll give you more if you tell me where Karen is" Rico bargained.

"I was given absolutely nothing by Mr. Arion, really. I don't know anything."

"Be aware that na---" Rico's words hang when he hears the driver's phone ringing on the table, Rico can see that the one who called him is Arion.

Rico listened to the conversation, but his Papi was coming home. The young man immediately gave a rude snort, at this time he could not find anything, the driver also immediately left Rico because Arion was waiting for him.

"Once again I can't find any information about Karen's whereabouts! What should I do?!"
