Chapter 158 - Trying To Mend

Lingaa knew she was a chief who had a reputative job which he took away from her making her do something which didn't went with her qualification. He just wanted to mend his mistake by making her do what she was capable of and not something which she had to do for living which would clear her mother's medical expense.

Aksa had said that she had not taken the money for the work she had done but he made sure to do her mother's surgery by telling the money were just funds which the hospital had gathered.

Cynthia looked at him for a while before pulling back her attention on the packets.

"Why would you do that when we barely know each other" she said billing the amount and started packing the stuff.

Lingaa had never shown his face to her when he had hired her so she didn't knew he was the same man whom she had worked with for some amount of money.

"I just guessed because you are doing multiple job" he said just to be on safer side.

When she didn't say anything he pulled out his wallet and took out his card passing her," Her take this if you want to earn much more then this counter billing. Just make a call" saying this he paid for the stuff and walked out from the shop.

"Model Lan... who write this kind of name on the card" looking at the card she saw back to the exit door getting him hopping in his car and driving away.

Inside the cell

August was devastated after his daughter demise. All these while he was trying to stop her to not do something stupid which would come to her life but what happened in the end. She lost her life and that too in her stupidity.

Unlocking the bars Aksa walked in only to find August sitting down looking down on the floor.

"He escaped" Aksa informed grabbing his attention.

"How?" 

"Maybe he knew you would spill everything to the cops" Aksa told half truth because Marcus had manage to clear the base even before they interrogated August.

"Such a sly bastard" August flared in anger. He was so blinded with the revenge of his daughters death that he didn't hold back and told everything to the cops.

Aksa went and took the stool sitting in front of August. He was not here to see him cursing Marcus because he was paying for his own sin.

"Do you know about his other place from where he works. I am sure this place was just for temporary stay" Aksa and his investigation team had been searching for them from too long because even after Marcus was in prison his trusted man Landon was carrying his business smoothly in his absence and it was shame that they failed to track their whereabouts.

"He had one but I don't know exactly where. I have heard many times from his men that their boss keeps travelling for business and even I had to talk with him when he would be back to the base"

"This Marcus is getting on my nerves. Why it is getting more hard to find him" getting up from his place Aksa dashed out from the cell in anger.

It has been three years they have been trying to find the lead but they fail and they managed to get Marcus out from the prison which was another loss for the department and now this.... he was again free and they didn't know where he vanished this time.

Rosie Mansion

Lucas had got a call from Daniel informing about their visit but the couple was joined with other one too Ethan and Samantha.

As soon as the girls enter the mansion, like long lost sisters they went to meet Elena and hugged her watching their friend was safe.

"How can a person be so cruel" Samantha looked Elena from head to toe examining her wounds but luckily the they were not to deep.

"Did you find the man who shot her?" Maira asked watching Elena shook her head.

"Lucas said they found the other one who came along with him and they would soon interrogate him"

"Such a shame Natasha lost her life and the person who shot her is the same she scheme for your death" 

The girls were aware of everything because their partners never try to keep anything hidden from them. Ethan and Daniel had already got their punishment for keeping their other works a secret and they had promised not to hide anything from them.

Maira tried to change the serious atmosphere from the past topic as she didn't wanted any of them to eat their brain for the person who was long gone. She moved next to Elena and asked," Did your plan work?" 

Initially Elena was going to ask Lucas the day when Maira told her about their underworld business but she didn't get the time because of the launch. So she took the liberty to take advantage of her sickness and attack her husband.

"You should have seen him. He was about to cry" giggling Elena told the girls everything that happened before they came.

"Even this happened with Daniel. He was literally whining holding my legs to not leave him" 

The boys were unmovable for the outer world but when it came to their lady love's they were like puppy too cute and innocent.

While the girls were busy talking about how they easily fooled their partners to spill the beans, three room away from their room the boys were sitting sulking on the couch while Ethan took the chair because their partners just forgot about their existence.

"They are acting as if we don't even exist" Daniel who saw how Maira left his hand and dashed straight to Elena's room without turning back.

" Even Sam did the same. She was literally asking me to drive fast so we could reach here soon" 

Like a bullet Ethan had to speed the car and stop in front of the mansion.

Lucas who was silent all this while glared at Daniel giving him death gaze. He was the first one who had spill everything. Such a shame that he couldn't even keep his lips sealed in front of his girl.

"You useless Romeo" smacking his head Lucas said," How easily you get fooled" he didn't wanted to look like even he was tricked by his wife. How can he show them that even he was about to cry just thinking about Elena leaving him.

"Don't tell me you didn't cry" Daniel pointed at his puffy eyes which looked like the tears were about to fall but were pulled back.

"This is just because I didn't sleep much" Lucas lied when the truth was written all over his face. 

"Yes and this red eyes is because something went in your eyes right. We know you Lucas so stop the act" Ethan supported Daniel because next target was definitely him, so before he came to him he beat him down.

Folding his hand Lucas zipped his mouth knowing that the boys are just smarter to get fooled by him. No doubt one was his brother and other one was his friend.

"Did Lan said anything" Daniel was informed about Lingaa related to Elena and was also helping them secretly.

"They man was punched really hard on his head and ended up passing out. Once he wakes up he would bring him to the base" 

Lucas listened to them still thinking about the time when Lingaa told him that Carter's had taken him under their wings after his fathers death.

"Your rival turn out to be your brother-in-law" Daniel than laughed teasing Lucas. He knew Lucas would always get annoyed whenever Lan would come and talk to his wife.

"I wouldn't have treated him like one if I had known his relation with Elena"

If he had known about it earlier, Lucas wouldn't have seen him as a threat. But even Elena never told him about him either.

"So when are you going to talk to Elena about it" 

" I don't want to meddle in them. It is Lan who should talk to the Carter's" Lucas was only waiting for him to be courageous enough to speak.

"Hope he does"

Inside Elena's room, the girls were enjoying their chat when Samantha brought up a topic," How about we go for a long vacation after Elena gets fine. What say" 

"Yes.. I think we should really enjoy ourselves away from this messy place. I really need to stress less" Maira had been handling her father's business very sincerely and was now working her ass hard to increase the business worldwide.

"Yes even I want a break from the work and this bandages are irritating me" Elena wanted to breathe fresh air away from all this mind eating things.

"I will ask Daniel to searching a nice place for vacation" 

"Are we going for a trip" Entered Ethan along with Lucas and Daniel inside the room.

"Not both of us but all of us"
