CHAPTER 22-STRANGERS
Anders turned the blinds on by snapping his fingers together as the walls of his office were made of glass that could turn dark to cover what was inside of his office.
He sat on his reclining chair and made a call to his assistant.
“Mr. Winston, you would not believe what I found out about Miss. Emily’s friend.”
Anders waited for him to spill out the words and when he heard them. His eyes widened as if something made him terrified.
“Are you sure about that?” Anders clenched his fist as he could not believe it.
“What a small world, alright, set an appointment with her now. I need to know where is Emily?”
Anders was pissed off and just cut the line and threw his phone on the couch. He took a deep breath and so many thoughts were running through his head.
He was trying to calm himself and stood up as he was thinking about Emily’s friend. A beep from his phone caught his attention and read the message from it.
Anders swiftly tossed the keys and was in a hurry to get out of his office just to reach the parking lot. He was rolling his fist as he was trying to control his temper and when he was about to reach his car he saw a shadow behind the post and that made his brows furrowed as he knew that someone was watching him.
He smirked while walking toward his car and was being attentive all the time as he was thinking that others were still around.
Now that he was in the car he let out a heavy sigh and his phone rang and quickly answered it without looking at the screen.
“Anders Winston, let me just remind you about our deal,”
Anders widened his eyes and heard a machine that was beeping and he said.
“Don’t you even touch him!”
He was grinning his teeth while clenching his fist and hitting his steering wheel.
“Then give me what I want! Or I will remove one of the tubes,”
“What do you want?!” he exclaimed as madness was now consuming his mind and was thinking the other way out.
“Bring me the document I need about the Vacter Incorporated and don’t even try to bring any police with you!”
Then, the other line was dropped off and that made Anders pissed off.
“He… Hello!”
“Fuck!”
Anders drove his car and saw the address that was sent by the unknown caller. He made it faster while clenching his jaws as he made a quick turn on each car that was on his way.
In every turn he did, a question was popping in his head.
“Who are you?!”
It was the first time that someone made him a trap like this. He was certain that this hunter was just being around him.
He was almost in the place where the caller wanted him to be, but suddenly his phone rang and saw his assistant was calling. He lightly shook his head and quickly canceled it.
Now, it was not the right time for him to talk to his assistant; George, as he knew exactly what was happening to Anders and he would not miss any chance to help him.
Anders stopped his car in front of the old building that was quite far from the city. He heaved out a sigh while he was staring at the building.
But before he could say any word, his phone rang and he quickly answered it.
“Do you have what I need?”
“Yes”
“Now, get out of the car and do as I say.”
Anders got out of his car while the folders were in his hands and on the other side his phone was on it as well.
“Good. Now, my men will be there in time to get those papers. Lean on the car!”
Anders clenched his jaws and did what he said, he leaned on the car and just waited for another command from the caller.
He heard footsteps from behind and was curious about it but when he was about to turn he heard the voice of the caller.
“Don’t dare to look or he’ll be dead soon,”
Anders was forming his fist into a ball. He was pissed off and wanted to punch someone’s face. He heard the laughter of the caller and said.
“Now you know how to be helpless at this point. The thing is, you are a billionaire and can do anything in no time.”
“Stop being such a pussy! Reveal yourself.”
Anders challenged the caller to face him and have a dwell with him. He did not mind what would happen next as long as the person he left at the hospital was safe.
He laughed on the other line and the caller said.
“I’m not stupid like you, Anders.”
“You seem to forget what you have done to me years ago. The nightmares that you gave to me were haunting me until now and that was because of you!”
Anders heard an emphatic tone on every word that was thrown at him was like an arrow that hit him. Then the footsteps seemed like it was getting far away from him so when he turned, it was a chance for him to see at least one man from them but someone made him land on the ground and said.
“I told you not to look back, Anders,” a man kicked him on his stomach hard and made Anders crouched just to protect himself.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Then, he tried to look at them and saw one man who was wearing a mask and continued kicking him.
“Don’t ever try to bump with me again or else I will snatch the woman you loved.”
Anders heard it clearly although he felt the sting pain at his back. He tried to stand up and managed to keep them away but this time when he looked around the man that he saw a while ago was gone. His brows were not aligned anymore and when the other men tried to attack him, Anders managed to use his other skills in fighting as he was trained in Muay Thai classes before.
Then after a while, those men were now lying on the ground after he made them suffer.
He stared at each of them and even removed their masks but no one on them was familiar to him. Then, he walked away and went inside the building.
Anders was being careful enough to follow the voices that were just around the corner. Mixed types of voices can be heard inside the old dark building and for him, it was quite hard to see where he was headed as the way was too dark for his sight.
He followed the voices, and in every step, he took the louder it gets on his ears. He clenched his fist as he was thinking the situation was now in a critical one.
Another stepped from Anders and something made him stop.
“He is the most stupid person I have ever met.”
He heard it clearly and he knew that it came from one of the rooms here.
