Christopher felt his heart skip a beat the minute he heard the words spoken by Jack. He shut his eyes in frustration as he didn't know how to react to this piece of news. Why does it have to be now and today of all day?
He thought his life was now perfect, now that he has married the love of his life. He thought perhaps everything will fall in place. But now his past has come back hunting him like it just happened.
Maybe this is for the best. Maybe he should just face it once and for all. He will go over there and speak to the girl and make sure he gets her forgiveness.
He will then come back home and tell Jane about the terrible thing he has done, and probably she will forgive him. He's sure that she loves him, and their love will pull them through this difficult situation.
"Are you sure she's the one? I'm on my honeymoon. If I leave my wife for something that isn't true, you are going to have me to contend with." Chris grumbled.
"She's the one, I spoke with her. She's really in trouble, we have to help her or he's going to kill her, and we can't let that happen." Jack said feeling frustrated.
"Alright, I will meet you at the mansion." Chris said and disconnected the call.
He glanced at Jane who seems to be sleeping so peacefully and kissed on the forehead. He's reluctant to leave her, but if he must move forward and enjoy the new life he has found for himself. Then he must settle something from his last, that keeps holding him back.
"I have to leave you my love, I will be back before you know it." Chris murmured and left the bed. He got dressed and walked out of the room.
Jack awaited both Christopher and Anthony outside the mansion in the car. He has been checking his phone to see whether or not a message pops up or even a call. He can't help but feel worried about cassie.
He really hopes she will be fine and intact by the time they arrive there. Jack spotted Chris and Anthony moving towards the car. He unlocked the door and they both hopped into the car.
"You have the address right?" Jack asked Anthony and he nodded.
"I'm sorry to take you away from your wife Mr Chris." Jack apologised with his head bowed.
"Trust me when I tell you, I need to meet her more than you do." Chris assured him and Jack drove off.
They arrived at the address Jack was given.
"I will be the only one to go in there. Im going to distract them with the money, while you both go and save cassie." Jack said and Chris nodded his head. He's not used to taking orders, but he can see the way Jack is trembling.
Since he has been working with him. He has never witnessed him lose his composure in this manner.
"Mr Chris I'm begging you to please save her, I have never asked anything of you since I have been working with you. But I ask this of you. Please save her." Jack begged and Chris was touched by his plea.
He must really love this girl. Chris's mind drifted to Jane, he can't imagine what he would do if she was in danger.
"I will, you have my word." Chris assured him and Jack was happy. He alighted from the car and walked into the warehouse where the men are waiting for him.
Christopher smiled, he's happy that the girl has someone who loves her this much. This way he won't feel obligated to marry her, because of what he did to her.
"Let's go Anthony. We have a girl to save." Chris said and Anthony drove off.
Anthony stopped the car. This is the address where the call came from. He was able to track the call while Jack was speaking to the man. They can only hope the girl is still here.
"Here, you might need a gun." Anthony said and passed a gun to Chris.
"Do you think we need to involve the police. We might need back up." Anthony said and Chris thought about it
"I don't think so. I'm sure they are just few, besides we are taking them unawares. This should not be a problem." Chris said confidently and Anthony agreed with him. They made way into the hideout ready to take anyone out.
Chris and Anthony encountered three men at the entrance of the place. And because they weren't looking, they took them out in an instant.
They made their way inside and was shocked at what they saw. It was an underground gambling den with men smoking and naked girls dancing.
"So this is not the way I envisioned spending my wedding night. I'm supposed to be home with my wife, cuddling and making love." Chris complained.
"Why does it have to be today of all days?" Chris scoffed.
"I think we might need the police now. There's no way we can take out all of these men." Anthony said and Chris exhaled sharply.
"We won't need to. I didn't want to do this before, but I guess I have no choice." Chris said and Anthony wondered what he's talking about.
Chris walked up to one of the tables where the men played and slammed his fist on the table.
"Who the fuck are you?" one of the men asked with a frown on his face.
"Take me to your boss," Chris ordered his voice chill as ice. The men trembled at his words and wondered who he might be.
They could tell he's a very important man, but they seem to know him.
"Are you going to take me there or you want me to do it my way?" Chris asked and they all looked at each other wondering whether or not to oblige him.
"This way," one of the men succumbed and took Chris to the boss office.
"Anthony, call Jack and have him be on his way." Chris said as he followed after the guy.
They arrived at a room and the guy went into the room leaving Chris outside. After some minutes, a gruesome looking man came out of the room with a pipe in his mouth.
"Who the fuck are you?" the man asked and Chris chuckled.
"Trust me when I say you do not want to know who I am." Chris said and the man frowned. He wondered who he must be to have the nerve to speak to him in that manner.
"I'm here for the girl. Give her to me, and we won't have any problems." Chris said and the guy fidgeted back a little, but he refused to be intimidated by anyone at all.
"Who the fuck are you? You just want to come into my den and threaten. You think you are going to get away with this?" the man asked and Chris raised his head up.
"Ever heard of the Smith's corporationm? Does the name ring a bell?" Chris asked and Anthony smiled as he can already see how this is going to end.
"Uhmmm Smith? Isn't that like the richest folks in the country. What the fuck does that have to do with you or me? I asked you a freaking question, why are you here?" the man asked and marched towards Chris to scare him.
The boss recognised Chris immediately and panicked.
"Aren't you Mr Chris Smith?" the boss asked and Chris grinned.
"Bingo! I suppose I am, you are smart after all." Chris said and the boss fell on his face.
"Just take me to the girl, she's the only reason why I'm here." Chris ordered.
