Chapter 210 - The Path Is Clear

An hour ago

Elena was inside the car and was returning back home. As per Lucas instructions his men's followed the car from behind.

She was looking outside the window when suddenly the car took the wrong route, "This is not the way" she exclaimed when the car moved to the wrong direction.

Elena waited for the driver to listen to her but when he didn't she got alerted. Her eyes looked ahead watching how the car drove dashing every other vehicle on the road.

The car speeded trying to sneak away from the followed car but the driver was wrong. Lucas men were smarter than he had thought of them to be and it didn't took time for them to reach behind them again.

Scared with the speed Elena tried to reach her hand to stop the driver," Who are you and where are you taking me" her hand reached to pull the keys so she could stop the car but before she could take a step she was slapped hard on her face.

"Ah..." 

The hand landed so hard that her head hit on the seats head rest and she fell unconscious.

" Such an annoying girl" Landon looked Elena fall back from the corner of his eye and then again speeded the car. 

Landon had managed to kill the driver and quickly replace him. Being expert in disguising himself it didn't took long for him to fool them. Averting his eyes from her he focused on the road trying to sneak from there.

He could hear the gunshot but he was smoothly defending the car. Landon increased the speed and dashed the car inside the forest area fooling Lucas men.

He took the wrong turn and entered the car inside the wood fooling them again.

Reaching at a certain distance he looked back and found them inside the deep forest. 

Stopping the car in the middle of the vast wood Landon reached to his destination spot.

Unlocking the seatbelt he walked out and carried Elena as he walked inside where he had arranged a chopper for them. 

His men's had already been waiting for his arrival and it didn't took long for them to watch his reach there.

"Lets get going"

Signaling his men Landon walked inside along with unconscious Elena in his arms. He could tell the girl was not going to wake up so soon and he took the opportunity to fly away from there.

"Lucas..." he heard her muttering in her sleep when the chopper started and then left the place... 

Present

Lucas slumped down on his knees feeling like a looser. His wife was taken away and he couldn't do anything...

"How long it had been" Ethan asked the guards who followed the car.

"Boss i-it's more than an hour from now" his head was lowered not able to face his boss wrath...

"You can leave now.." he asked the guard to leave and walked toward Lucas.

Lucas mind had stop working. He couldn't think of anything at the moment. Ethan had expected him to lash out or show some anger but he kept looking at a particular direction without breaking his gaze..

Sitting down next to him Ethan tried to talk," Lucas we need..." he couldn't even complete his word when Lucas turned his gaze looking at him with his bloodshot eyes.

"Prepare our men" just one word and Ethan could feel the last string of his patience running down. This was a do or die case either he kill Marcus or get killed by him.

Ethan understood what Lucas meant and he just nodded his head and stood up inform their men's.

Isolated forest...

Inside the dark room Elena was tied on a chair. Her wrist tied on the armrest and her eyes covered with a black cloth..

As she began to get conscious she felt it hard for her to move her body. She didn't knew where she was and why was tied but the more she tried to moved her hand she felt a pain in her wrist.   

"Don't move Elena.." she heard someone call her name.

Her face being covered up she couldn't see the face of the person who was also inside the room along with her...

Suddenly her memories inside the car rush through her mind and she wriggled even more trying to free herself.

"Who are you and where did you bring me" she screamed trying to free herself but her hand and legs where tied so firmly that he made hard for her to even loose the ropes.

Her constant effort to break the rope went wasted when suddenly the cover n her face was pulled up.

"Surprise...."

Adjusting her vision she tried to get familiar with the place as she roamed her eyes scanning where she was... when her eyes landed on a person...

"How do you feel Elena"

Marcus settled on the wooden chair in front of her looking how the girl was not even bothered by the blood flowing from her wrist and still tried her best to free herself.

"Who are you.." she didn't knew who the man was but then her eyes moved away from the old man and moved to the one which felt familiar...

Widening her eyes she now understood where she brought. He was the same man who had took her to the wrong route. She remembered trying to stop him but when he punched her she didn't had any memory after she fainted.

"I thought my nephew would have told you about me.. Tsk such an ungrateful brat " Marcus showed his fake disbelief looking at the women who had a small bump on her stomach.

Elena was shock to face Marcus. This was their first encounter with each other.

Lucas never care to show her how the man looked as he was no one to them. She had only heard about him and his crimes but never once saw his face...

"Marcus.." her voice came more like a whisper.

"Tsk.. Tsk.. no manners at all. I thought Henry must have brought up his daughter pretty well but no.. I was wrong" getting up from the chair he walked and stood in front of her...

Elena who had her eyes stuck on the man made her blood run dry. His dangerous eyes were enough to scare anyone.. The darkness alluring around him screamed that the man was not a good human.

"What do you want..." she pulled herself together brushing the fear and looked at the man.

Crouching to her level Marcus keenly watched her act all fearless but even if she acted that way still he could feel her helplessness.

"Argh.. so much questions didn't Lucas told you I don't like being interviewed" his eyes turn cold and the smile he was carrying faded.

Elena had never felt this kind of fear in her entire life. She was not someone who would get intimidated by anyone easily but now she was feeling the murderous aura around the man which scared.

She was afraid not because of the man but for the babies who were growing inside her. She had always knew that some day she would face him but she didn't knew the day will come so soon.

She had mentally prepared herself when she had married Lucas. She knew the threat name Marcus was still out there waiting to destroy her husband. She was not scared to loose her life if that what saved Lucas life but she didn't wanted her children to dies along with her.

Her eyes instantly turn cold listening the man. She build up the courage to not get waver by his threat as he was just trying to scare her. She came to understand one thing that he only brought her so he could get Lucas.

Elena knew she was his weakness and now the news of her held captive by Marcus must have affected him. 

She knew to get her safe back he would burn Marcus entire empire or even worse kill the man with his own hands. She never wanted her husband to stain his hand by taking anyone's life.

She believed the law and she wanted Marcus to get arrested.

"You think your shallow threat can scare me" she chuckled looking straight into his eyes.

The stir of emotion she felt a while ago was gone and now her cold and poker face intimidated Marcus instead.

He never liked being threaten back. Her lack of fear made his blood boil and he lost his cool pulling her hair," Dare you provoke me.. I know how to silence you.." leaving her hair roughly Marcus stood straight.

"Your life and your babies life both are in my hands.. Try to act smart and it won't take a second for me to kill them" his eyes stuck on her stomach and then moved to looked at her face which looked pale.

"Good that you understood.. Be a good girl until your husband reaches here" he walked out from the room before telling something to Landon.

Landon briefly looked at Elena and closed the door. He walked and took a chair to sit on it.

"You shouldn't act smart when you know your life is just a bullet away" he pulled out his gun and started cleaning it.

Elena was not scared at all. She knew it was just to frighten her. Till now they had done nothing to harm her which means they only wanted Lucas in front of them..

She sat silent whereas her mind couldn't stop thinking. She was afraid that Lucas would come willingly if she was safe.. No she can't let that happen.. I can't let Lucas reach here.

Lingaa had secretly entered the forest along with the force. He had already started his way to reach the place and attack them.

Wearing his bullet proof suit Lingaa walked inside with a gun in his hand. He had his micro phone on as he kept giving update to the base.

"Lin how come no one is guiding here" Aksa asked looking round when he couldn't see any of Marcus men's.

They knew they have came too deep and still finding no one felt a little weird.

Hiding behind a tree Lingaa tried to connect to the tracker who was leading them the way.

"Do you see any threat" Lingaa got connected asking the man if the path was clear to head more..

"Yes sir the path is clear till a meter distance..." he heard the man and then signaled the team to move ahead.
