Chapter 248 - What will happen to Beautiful?

''Move to the passenger's seat! ''

He ordered and the driver's face paled in shock; ''Boss… '' this was a critical moment and the only thing he needed to do now was to be in a safer place and he was telling him to move? Did he want to die?''

''Are you deaf? '' Nicklaus roared at the driver and he quickly moved away and Nicklaus replaced him on the steering;

''call the others; tell them what is going on. '' He said and the man nodded, and he quickly called others who were driving behind them. At this juncture there was really nothing they could do; they could not save someone in a racing vehicle, but they tried to race after them and maybe ram into their car, and stop it from moving.

Nicklaus gripped the steering as he stared forward; avoiding the cars in front of him, all the while, the only person he could think of was Tiana.

He remembered she had told him she didn't feel good about him going to work, even that morning, she looked sad as she waved him bye, she was right after all.

A painful chuckle left his lips as he imagined the tears in her eyes if anything should happen to him, it would break her in two. He promised he would come back soon so she wouldn't worry but he wasn't sure about that anymore

''Boss, we're heading for the bridge… '' the driver who was sitting by his side stuttered, he was so scared. Nicklaus's hands gripped the steering and for the first time, his heart started pounding.

He couldn't die now. No, there were a lot of things left to do. He couldn't leave Tiana here, all alone…

Pain flooded his heart as he imagined how broken she would be. It would tear her soul apart.

Was he going to die like this? Were his enemies going to have the last laugh? Nicklaus asked himself as tears clouded his eyes.

What would happen to his beautiful if he died?

He could already imagine her crying face, wailing and pleading that he should come back, it broke him.

The car was almost flying now, and the driver had already said his last prayers. There was no going back from here, he knew it.

The guards raced after Nicklaus with great speed, seeking how to overtake but no matter how they tried, they were just behind him.

''Boss, what are you doing? '' The driver asked when he noticed that Nicklaus was driving straight towards the river, was he calling for death?

''We are lucky to choose how we are going to die, some people weren't. ''

Those were the last words Nicklaus said before the car dived headfirst over the bridge and into the river.

Ba-dum… Ba-dum…     

He could hear his heart pounding against his chest as the car immersed into the water. He quickly pushed against the door and forced himself out of the car and tried to swim but the water waves pushed against his body. 

He struggled for a while but after a moment, he got weak and let the water move him. His eyes shut as the last thought in his mind before everything went blank was Tiana.

…

''Ma'am; '' One of the guards called, and Tiana turned to look at him;

''he's not there,'' he said, looking pained. Even though their boss was strict they couldn't deny the fact that he had treated them well. So they felt the pain of loss too.

''What do you mean by he is not there? He was not in the accident? ''

Tiana asked, the pain in her heart was doubling into intense anger and she was going to unleash it on them if they didn't stop beating around the bush.

''Are you deaf!! '' She spat in anger, her hands fisting on her sides, if they knew how pained she was right now, they would start talking.

''We… we couldn't find him, we couldn't find his body. ''

Tiana stared at the people in front of her for a moment;

''How do you mean? ''

''His car crashed into a river, and when it was pulled out we couldn't find him, the body of the driver with him was recovered but we are yet to hear anything concerning him.''

Tiana watched them, her heartbeat slowed; she pulled her eyes away from them, a thousand thoughts rushing through her mind at the same time. As though controlled by a machine, she turned around and began walking towards the car, she had only taken three steps when suddenly she slumped to the ground and fainted.

''Ma'am!! ''

…

Douglas stood beside the window watching outside when he heard a knock on the door.

''Boss… ''

''Is it done? ''

The man was quiet for a while and then Douglas turned to him with a raised brow;

''His body is not yet found, but the other man with him died so we are assuming he is dead. ''

Douglas frowned; he had specifically wanted a clean death, he didn't like complications.

''what do you mean, his body was not found? ''

''He did not crash against anything as we had expected, rather he drove into the river, and thus the car did not explode, ''

Douglas heaved a sigh. ''I don't like this type of mess, I told you not to let him come out alive. ''

''I doubt he is alive, it's been six hours and he has not been found, surely he must be dead or he has been eaten by some fish. ''

Douglas smirked at that thought and sat down on the couch. He had not felt this happy in a long while;

''So which method did you guys finally use? ''

''We had to use the proximity boss, the accident couldn't work because he drove in between four other cars, so even if we had used that, he might not be affected, but we made sure there were no links, so there's no need to worry. ''

The man said and Douglas rubbed his temples, he looked a little disturbed.

''Alright, you can leave. ''

He said and the man bowed a little walking out the door.

What if they became suspicious and link the two deaths? Douglas was worried a little, but he quickly shoved it away, he had a way around it even if they linked it.
