After leaving Ben's residence, Richard casually intends to move towards the place where Alex and his men are. He calls the man first while driving, who knows, Ben is taking Alex with him at this time.
It didn't take long, the phone line was connected, and Alex's baritone voice over there, was clearly heard in Richard's ear. “Hallo.”
“You're with Ben?” ask Richard without further ado.
“No. He left with some of my men,” replied Alex across the phone.
“Where?”
“Dante's residence,” Alex replied. Not long after, it sounded in Richard's ear that someone else came over to Alex. “What?”
Alex's panicked voice surprised Richard. What happened across the. “What happened something?” ask Richard to make sure.
“Ben was on his way to being taken to the hospital by my men,” replied Alex who seemed to start moving.
“Send me the hospital address! I'll be there.” Without wasting time, Richard simply turned off the phone and turned the car around. He couldn't act rashly in a situation like this.
But Richard must have wondered. How can a Ben get hurt when he comes to his own cage. Could the two have been at odds before, given where Ben apparently also did not return to deal with the man when filing for a company project, and instead choose to work with Dday Holdings which is clearly the opponent of Dante.
“I guessed it, you are the one I was looking for,” muttered Richard while turning the steering wheel.
Meanwhile, on one side of the other. A woman was sitting in a helicopter looking at where the man next to her was taking her away. Although, there was an overwhelming sense of fear, but he was sure that nothing bad would happen to him, at least not for today.
He must not look weak, especially to have to cry in front of an opponent who seems to be an enemy of Richard.
Rachel who just finished filming, again had to experience the bitterness of kidnapping. However, it was different from before that directly acted brutally. They acted neatly, deceiving Rachel from the start. Not only admitted if they were Richard's men who wanted to give a surprise, but also gave a convincing reason so that Rachel who intended to contact Rich first, again undo his intentions. Unfortunately, it turned out to be all a trick.
Next to Rachel's seat, a man of seemingly no different age from Richard looked out at the glass. There was only the roar of the helicopter engine heard in the situation, because even though Rachel's mouth wanted to speak, it was impossible, as it was still closed using duct tape.
“To which they will take me,” Inner Rachel. Looking at the road that was passing at this time, made him a little horrified. There was only water visible from above. They will kill and dump their bodies in the sea.
However, not long ago, an island was seen in the middle of the parade. Only a magnificent luxurious building perched among the lush forest. To be sure, after arriving at that place, Rachel could not possibly escape easily. He couldn't have crossed the ocean just by swimming. Because not a single ship was seen on the coast of the island.
Long enough their journey through the air since the Dante residence. Now, the helicopter that took Rachel away landed on the roof of the only building on the island. “Bring him inside,” said an ice-cold-faced man.
“Good, Mr.”
The man who was none other than Dason— adopted son Dante— firmly stepped outside. A beautiful woman was smiling to welcome him. However, a second later, his expression changed when he found the other woman following Dason's steps from behind with her hands tied back and her mouth in the duct tape.
“Dason, are you back?” ask the woman.
“Who is that woman?” asked the woman Dason had ignored earlier to a male bodyguard beside him. It may have been common for Dason to bring other women home to the villa, but they were always in the clouds and treated like paid women in general. Come along spoiled and act like they're going to be a whole Dante woman. It was completely different from the current Rachel who came with a bound condition.
“Not your business. You better just work right,” replied the man, then turned away, to make the woman quite upset.
Inside the room, Dason opens the rope that ties Rachel's body. He also opened the duct tape in the woman's mouth violently.
“Oh shiit! Can't you slow down a little!” rachel spoke when her mouth was first freed from the shackles of duct tape. He rubbed his sore lips several times while looking at the glass whether his skin was peeling along with the duct tape. Luckily, only leaving the redness that feels so hot on the face of the tub has just done lip waxing.
One corner of the man's lips seemed lifted just like hearing Rachel's curse. He himself was quite amazed by the attitude of the woman who still seemed calm facing a situation that usually many women would definitely cry at a time like this.
“You are indeed different,” murmured the man shrieked, but it can still be heard by Rachel.
“Actually what's your problem? Why involve me in this?” rachel asked boldly and without further ado.
“Maybe your fault at this time is only because you are a woman belonging to Richard.” Slowly Dason stepped closer to Rachel who was still in front of the mirror. A cold gaze did not blink from her, making Rachel swallow her own saliva with great difficulty.
The longer, the distance between the two was getting cut. “What do you want?” rachel asked when the distance between the two was only a few inches. “Do not fuck or I will-”
“What will?” Not yet had Rachel look for reasons or other objects that can be used as protection, Rachel's body felt had hit the dressing table, while Dason's two hands locked his body on the right and left. He held both sides of the table, while still continuing to give Rachel a sharp look. “You'd better be nice and obey while you're here! Because I won't hesitate to kill you until you try to escape. If you don't believe it, try it!”
Dason did not intend to tempt Rachel further.She straightened her body with her right hand carrying Rachel's bag. He did not intend to harass the woman in front of him, but only took the bag, which had been placed by his men there. Dason doesn't want Richard to find Rachel. Although it was impossible for the man to get here so easily.
Rachel shuffled on the floor after seeing Dason's departure behind the door. The body that used to be ordinary, now feels weak like no bones at all. Pretending to be assertive under the pressure of such a domineering man felt extremely frightening. “Why did I have so many bad luck this year, Lord?” monologue Rachel while rubbing her face which now turned deathly pale.
The only advantage of being an actress is that she can still play and pretend to be assertive in front of the enemies of those who are after her. But deep down, of course Rachel was afraid of everything she was going through. What if tomorrow he woke up no longer able to see the morning sun and moved to the afterlife.
Recalling all the shadows of death, made Rachel close her eyes while raising her head. "Being a weak woman sucks. I shouldn't trust those people easily. I hope Richard takes me away from this place. That guy's more terrible than my Rich." Rachel's inner.
Meanwhile, Ben who was taken to the hospital suffered severe injuries. Dante seemed to vent all his anger on the man. He beat Ben blindly, while Ben just for the sake of a piece of information about his daughter did not dare to wiggle let alone fight at all. As a result, that was what he had to experience now, becoming a human samsak over the pleasures of his former boss.
“Why did it get like this?” richard asked Alex, with both hands put in his pockets, and a slurred look, looking at Ben's body full of bruises and tears in some parts of his body.
Both of them stood in a treatment room, while the person concerned was still unconscious. Alex who did not know how the details of the incident could only shake a little. From the reports of his men, Ben was only allowed to enter alone, while the men even Ben's assistant could only wait outside. Stupidly, Ben followed that order, and only single-handedly entered.
Unfortunately, when Ben came out of the residence for a long time had passed. Dante's men throw Ben at them in near-death condition. Ben's body is full of injuries, so immediately rushed to the hospital by his men with many statements raging in the head of course.
Shortly after Richard and Alex waited, Ben's fingers seemed to start moving. Respiratory aids and other medical supplies were attached to the middle-aged man's body. Slowly his eyelids began to open, but the first thing he saw was Richard standing expressionlessly in front of him.
“Rich, please save Rachel. He was innocent of what had happened all along. This is all my fault. It was my fault for failing to help your mother out of the vicious cycle back then,” Ben said in a soft voice and withstood immense pain. I hope Richard can understand what he is feeling.
