Chapter 104 - Back to Square one (4)

Cefei sighed in resign. "Go and find a way to leak this information to Alex."

Tommie sighed in relief. He was worried that his boss would charge himself out and do it himself.

"No matter what, she should be found. Find Francesca for me and that man! Use the club's resources as much as you need." Cefei pressed his hands together, trying to calm himself down.

Hearing the orders, Tommie was astonished. "The Old Master?"

"If someone asks, just send him my way. Even if it's my Father! Go!" Cefei glared at Tommie.

Tommie sighed, he then bowed and left. He ran as fast as he could to the Black Dragon Club's secret headquarters.

Cefei then sighed. "April, I could only help you this much. If I had met you earlier, I wouldn't have let you suffer this kind of miserable life. If there is a second life, I hope that I can meet you first." His hand clenched into a fist. Though he never thought that a woman can move him this much, It was already too late to show his affections. He could only stay behind the curtain and hope that she finds her happiness in this life.

"Sir, I received some news." James quickly came inside the Hawthorne's Study Room. Inside, one could see the haggard look of Theo and Alex. Phoebe was now accompanying Sky to get the child to calm down.

When Sky heard that his mother was taken away by some bad guys, he went hysterical! The once calm and well-behaved kid became wild and unreasonable. One could see how much the child cherishes his mother.

Alex instantly grabs the papers from James and looked at it. As soon as his eyes landed on them, his brows crossed and his hand that was holding the papers started to hold on it tighter.

"WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?!" Alex glared at James.

"Someone had sent it to the office. No one was unable to see who it came from, I already went to order our men to look up its origins and validity." James explained.

Theo snatched the papers to study it. He was instantly shocked to see the information inside. "No need. I know where this came from."

Alex looked at his father. "Where?"

"The Black Dragon Club." Theo laid down the papers on the table in front of him. He was exhausted yet he was holding on. He was already 45 years old. Not too old yet but he could feel that he aged roughly 10 years on 1 day.

Alex's brows furrowed. He had heard of the Black Dragon Club from his father once he started managing their company himself. "But why would they help us? What's their motive?"

Theo was not sure himself either. "The Black Dragon Club has always been secretive and powerful. They only move when there is something to be gained about. Right now, I don't know what that could be. But our priority lays in finding April. Get your stupid wife here! We need to interrogate that vile woman!" Veins were popping out on Theo's neck and forehead. He had a hunch that, that woman was bad news ever since he met her. Seeing this happening now, it was too late for regrets.

Alex instantly looked at James. James nodded, he understood his Boss's command and left.

Alex took the papers again. There were pictures, bank accounts, statements and whatnot that could serve as evidence that Francesca had been dealing with April's kidnappers. At the end of it, the kidnapper's identity seems to be linking to April's past. Since he only took a glance earlier, he didn't have the chance to go over it. Now that he was focusing on it, he finally understood who their enemies are.

"Father! Look at this!" Alex pointed at a news article. It was about April's kidnapping of the past.

Theo looked at it and the two came up with the same conclusion. Theo sighed and Alex clenched his fist.

"That woman! How can she this vicious! To think that... That..." Alex's eyes were red with frustration.

Theo patted his son's arm. "What matters now is to find their location. These papers don't say anything. If this is all true, you will need to serve justice for April. Her father is coming here, you will have to plan your explanation."

Alex sighed. His father was right, he promised April's parents to keep her safe and their son. Yet still, this happened. He didn't know what to say or think at this moment. He could only hope that April is still alive and well. "I understand father."

"It's good that you're waking up from your mistakes. I'll go and check on your mother. Let me know if there's any new progress." Theo patter his son's shoulder and left the room.

Alex sat down and looked at the ceiling. From what the papers say that Francesca got a person out of jail, earlier than his sentence. Jackson. If his instincts are right, it should be the same man as the man that held April captive before.

He closed his eyes. He had been awake since the last time he was drugged. It was now at 3 pm. A Little bit over 24 hours since April had been kidnapped. He was now 31 hours awake. "April, I'm so sorry. Please wait for me. I'll definitely find you!"

-----

During the time that April had been caught. She had never once woke up. While in her sleep, she was brought to a secret laboratory. Inside, there were countless tubes, chemicals, and machines. The place was bright with lights and there was a man don in white lab gown beside Jackson.

"How much is your success rate now Ben?" Jackson eyed the beautiful woman on the patient bed in front of him.

Ever since he had parted ways with April, she had been always on his mind. She was like his angel. Only he can own her!

Ben smiled cruelly and said, "90%".

Jackson's hand caressed April's cheeks. "Little girl, don't blame daddy for being reckless. No matter where you go, I will always follow."

"Get it to her!" Jackson gives his signal to Ben.

Ben took out a syringe filled with red-colored liquid inside. "It will only sting like an ant." He smiled calmly but there was a hint of evil in his eyes. He injected the serum into her veins. He had been studying this drug for more than 10 years. It was time to let the whole world knows of this drug!

Jackson studied April's complexion as the serum entered her system. Her veins became more pronounced. Her body started trembling but Ben was already prepared. He had April strapped down on the bed so she can't get out not hurt herself.

Roughly only 5 minutes or so, her body calmed down. There were only beads of sweat in her body that indicated her previous suffering.

Ben opened April's eyes and took a penlight to check on her. He also did check her vitals. "Everything seems to be normal. She will need three more doses of it until she wakes up. Tomorrow around noon, she should be awake."

"Hmm. Leave us." Jackson sat down beside April as Ben took his leave. Ben could never understand why Jackson had been obsess with this girl ever since they had found her. At first, Jackson was only interested because of the experiments for the drug, now it seems like he was obsessed with her. Ben wouldn't call it love, it was more like April was Jackson's drugs.

Jackson lifted April's chin. "Little girl, be obedient from now on. I'll forgive you for throwing me into jail, as long as you keep me company until we grow old. Although we've parted for about 10 years. I have never once forgotten about you. I only hope that you have not forgotten me." Jackson then leaned his head down. His lips touched hers.

Her red and soft lips ignited something inside him. Something that no one could reach nor touch. No matter how many women he f.u.c.k.i.e.d with or played with. Only April can do it, only this girl can make him feel alive.

This time, he will make her his! This time, only he would matter in her eyes! She would forget everything! She would not recall anything in her life. Once she wakes up, she only has a few minutes to remember until she loses herself to him. He will then act as her lover and be together forever. No one can stop him now!
