Chapter 148 - Arrest

Elena closed her eyes and gave into the kiss which was tender as his warm lips touched hers. Both were immersed in their own world didn't realize when a pair of eyes watched them in utter shock.

"Thud"

Ron who had knock the door and entered the cabin only cursed his stupid mind for again witnessing the couple kissing privately. The couple were so into the kiss that made his eyes popped out from the socket and the file in his hand landed straight on the floor stopping the couple.

Lucas opened his eyes and saw Ron who was on the verge of crying looking the deadpan eyes on his boss.

"Ron" he muttered against her lips and pulled back.

Elena who had her back faced to Ron didn't dare to turn back and witness the horrifying look on her boss face. In embarrassment, Elena hide her face into Lucas chest cursing her luck. This was the second time Ron had seen the couple pouring their love inside the office.

"B-boss.. I will c-come afterwards please continue" he bend down and picked up the file and was about to leave when his steps glue on the root listening his boss," I want like to have a word with you" and that's it, Ron knew he was going to visit some dessert trip for spoiling his boss romance. 

Pulling back from Lucas embrace, Elena turned and went to sit on her seat without looking up. She did bold activity with him but she still felt shy whenever someone watched them showing love.

Glaring at Ron with his pierce eyes, Lucas pointed him to come and have a seat.

Quietly following his order, Ron went and took the seat opposite to him and watched his boss walk the other side taking his seat," Did you get what I asked you to do?" Lucas asked.

"Yes boss. August was sweet talking the investor who were working with us slowly taking them to his side. He even went to pull out all your share under his name but the man who helped him in doing that couldn't copy your signature and was caught red handed by the confirmer" he showed him the report he had found about August side by side trying to take all over the company by hiding in the hole.

"I had know it from the time he proposed for the merge, a cunning man like him will only wants to join hands when his greed raises"

"Mr. Roger was the one who informed about August meeting him for putting the  share under his name" Ron said.

"This man is not going to stop his greed even after what he did to my so called uncle" Lucas was aware of August working with Marcus and how he even fooled his friend for money after he was prisoned naming all his share under his name.

"Get hold on his every black money and inform the income tax about his illegal business" Lucas was not going to go easy after learning what this both father and daughter have come up with.

"And for the girl.. leave her for now and let see what she does after she watched the cops dragging her father"

Nodding his head Ron stood up to leave thinking that he was safe as his boss had not scolded him for his early visit.

"Ron how about I spare you a holiday in Kerguelen Island for somedays" the legs that were trying to escape were stopped and in fear the man turn to look his devil boss smirking on him.

"Hehe boss it will be better you don't give me holiday. I like being in company next to you" without any network his boss wanted him to go holiday in desolation island, no way.

"Good then next time before entering make sure to knock loudly" nodding his head Ron left the cabin like a scared cat who just escape from a wild animal.

"You always scare him" Elena asked looking how Lucas liked to pull Ron's leg.

"He better not disturb us again" 

Getting up from his chair Lucas walked and stood next to Elena's desk and swirl the chair making her turn to him. Leaning down he looked at her with an unsaid emotion which was easily guessed by Elena," No not now we have lot of work to do" she tried to push him by resting her palm on his chest.

"But I was not satisfied" without waiting for her to reject him Lucas took her by surprise and continued where he had stop.

Meantime when the couple was busy with their romance, August house was taken under the raid. Ron had informed the income tax office and had submitted about the black money and all the illegal business August have been doing behind the reputed face.

The people who had come to check the house, searched every corner of the mansion messing everything around.

"How dare you enter like this" shouted Natasha when the men didn't stop even after her yelling.

August who was trying to act as if he had no idea about the illegal business and tried to look innocent in front of them. 

Walking down the storeroom one of the income tax officer asked him to open the door.

"You won't get anything there sir. This place only has waste" August was sweating profoundly. He was still not getting how did they get to know so much about his other hidden business which he had been hiding well all these years.

"Break" a hulk like man kicked the door breaking in one knock.

Searching the place, the officer found substance kept at one corner of the room which consist of drugs.

"Explain about it in the prison Mr. August Knight" the head officer said and asked other one to come and handcuff him.

"Take him to the custody" dragging August out from the room the officer didn't give him a chance to speak as they found the evidence of him transporting drugs and organs for making money from other countries.

Ron had submitted every little detail to the officer which would not let him get out from the prison so easily.

"Please leave my father" Natasha cried watching the cops dragging her father out from the house.

Without paying any heeds to her words the man put him in the van and drive out from the mansion.

Running behind the van Natasha followed them not seeing the small stone which made her fall on her knees and she couldn't reach them. She still couldn't believe what happen all of a sudden, her father involve in illegal business.

"No they are lying my father won't do such things" she shook her head not accepting that her father was been held by the cops.

Sitting on the ground a few distance away from the mansion, Natasha kept looking on the hands that had dirt on them due to the fall she had after following the van. She kept looking at her hand when she heard a footstep which stopped in front of her.

Looking up to the person who stood in front of her, she tried to recall where she had seen him.

"Are you going to stay here crying or will revenge the people for your father's destruction"

"Who are you?" she asked but the man only smirked before lending his hand for her to stand.

"Someone whom your father trusted" Marcus learned about August house been sealed on income tax raid and he knew he would not get chance to move the substances from his house.

Marcus didn't wanted to let go the drugs he had purchased for billions to go straight into the cops hand, but before he could reach the mansion he saw August being dragged out from the house followed by his daughter. 

Natasha tried to remember the man in front of her when she remember were she had seen him. He was the same man who had visited her house a few days ago when she had came back after Lucas had learned about her real motive.

That time she didn't spare a glance at the man as she was angry with how the situation changed all of sudden but his words that day made her think who was this man," The will should still be with the Thomson's and if you want it plant a mole in the company to get hold of it" 

"You are the same man who had came a few days ago" she said now remembering where she had seen him.

"It doesn't matter who I am. I am here to offer you a helping hand in return you will have to help me" Marcus knew her obsession for Lucas and now this mere obsession of hers was going to help him. 

"What help?" 

Marcus smirked looking at the curious girl.

Inside the secret base, Tin was standing outside the surveillance room waiting for the man to come out. Making sure his actions wouldn't irk anyone he patiently waited for them to come out.

After like an hour the door finally opened and Landon along with the man came out. Standing in front of the door Landon stopped and look at the man before he spoke," Make sure to hide at a safe place" he said and walked from there.

Watching his boss leave, the man turn to look back at the two guards which he had asked to stand out of the room," You" he pointed at Tin and asked him to follow.

Cursing at his luck for not getting inside the room, he let go of the thought thinking he had memorized the way back to this place.

" Start making the arrangement" he said making the man who followed him behind confused

' Now what are they going to do' he thought and kept walking behind him.
