Chapter 210 - 210: Roman Lee's house


When the phone call ended, Roman Lee's expression turned to resemble an angry dragon. His breathing quickened as he tried to suppress his anger.


Then he turned to Robert, the man had a smirk on his face mocking him.


"Stop smiling!" he yelled furiously at him. Everything and everyone around was making him feel pissed. He took a sigh one after another but nothing can calm his nerve.


"So, your friend," he laughed sarcastically at them, "the woman you are all willing to die with, abandoned you," he continued pointing his finger at them, "are you sure you don't want to be on my side? You will all be protected."


As he tried to persuade them, Roman Lee lowered his voice. He had a little hope that they will switch side to him.


The smile on Robert's lips vanished and a line in between his brows appeared.


"Are you willing to pay us?"


Robert's question has made everyone eyes to look at him, awe has widened their eyes.


A slight scoff let out from Roman Lee's lips, he then rose a brow in amus.e.m.e.nt, "of course. I have connections and they are wealthy. Tell me, how much do you want?" he scanned the other people who were tied up, all of them were looking surprised to hear those words from Robert.


Robert shrugged his shoulders, "Daniella never pay us so any amount will work."


"Robert!" Scott, Jenna, Irene and Claire said his name rhythmically.


"Are you out of your mind?" Irene shouted at him, and since they were sitting next to each other Robert's eardrums almost got destroyed.


He ticked his tongue repeatedly.


"Can you let this woman go?" He ran his eyes irritably over Irene, "I will switch to you if you let this woman go and pay me."


Roman Lee was dubious, it was too easy so he didn't want to believe it.


"Are you for real?" a little hope flashed in his chest, Robert was Daniella's right hand so he knew everything about her.


Focusing his eyes at Roman's serious face, Robert held his laugh. He bit his lips but the desperate look to get him to work for him was clearly painted on his face.


"Ha... ha... ha..."


Robert's laugh sounded in the warehouse, he shook his head while his eyes were shining with pleasure.


"Did you really think I will switch side?" he blew out a sigh after feeling short of air due to laughter, "no, and don't expect that Daniella will come here. We know what we signed up, and she told us from the beginning that she won't save us," he paused and looked at the door where his brother and niece went.


"But you brought my niece and my brother here and for that, we can be sure that she will come here," his eyes flared a warning look, he could imagine what would happen later. The yell, cry and beg that his friends did all of those will soon be heard from Roman Lee and all the people that helped him.


Roman Lee sat in front of Robert. He took off his shoes and socks, and then one after another hit his fingers without a warning until his toenails fell off.


"Please stop!" Irene begged, she moved her head closer to Robert and looked straight in his eyes. The man was not even groaning or making a sound that he was hurting, he was just looking straight ahead with pursed lips.


"Robert, look at me!" she shouted at him. Robert swung his face to look at her and when their eyes met, another pair of tears fell from her eyes.


"Just look at me," she said in a whisper.


Robert nodded, the corner of his eyes wrinkled every time the bat hit his fingers, his legs have become numb from pain but it was alright. Seemed like looking at Irene has somehow eased the pain.


Claire and Jenna were crying non-stop, they looked aside refusing to watch as Roman Lee continued to pump the bat at Robert's feet like it was a wall.


Hours passed... Roman didn't get tired on hurting Robert but the latter also had the strength of a bull, he endured all the pain without making a sound.


Soon, a phone rung. Everyone looked at Robert's pants where he had his phone hidden.


Roman Lee took it, his face twisted in confusion upon seeing Daniella's number.


He answered it without wasting time, and then he put it on a speaker to let everyone hear it.


"Robert?"


"Daniella. Don't come here!" Robert yelled at her. He wanted to continue but one of the men covered his mouth with a cloth.


The other line went silent, Roman Lee was becoming restless by the passing time.


Then a sigh chimed from the other line, Roman Lee stared at it to make sure that she was still on the line.


"Well, since you said I shouldn't go there, I will think that you have everything under control," then a sound of a whirling machine irked from the other line. Everyone's face looked at the phone Roman Lee was holding with difficulty.


"What's that noise?" Roman Lee asked. His heart suddenly thumped thinking that maybe Daniella was around someplace preparing to attack.


When the noise stopped, Daniella giggled like a happy child.


"Oh sorry, I was making myself a smoothie where do you have the sugar, Roman? Is it in the kitchen cabinet?"


Hearing that, Roman's face blanched. His eyes dilated as he stared at Daniella's friends.


"Are you in my house right now?" he asked, voice quicker as if he was feeling cold.


"Yes, I am. Don't worry your wife is sitting on a chair getting a massage from Sunny."


Roman Lee gulped hard, he was not expecting for Daniella to go to his house. He thought she would come running to save her friends but unfortunately, he underestimated her.


His thoughts were disturbed when he heard Robert and Scott laughing. Mystified, he asked, "what's funny?" he couldn't believe how light Daniella's friends were taking the situation. He could kill them anytime but they were not afraid of death.


"Sunny is an orangutan so imagine her big palms massaging a human's back."


Immediately, the colour faded on Roman Lee's face. His breathing accelerated making him hold tightly on the phone.


"Let my wife go," he yelled so loudly, hoping that his voice will reach Daniella and destroy her ears.


"Let my friends go."


Roman Lee froze by her request. He looked around at the men who were looking at him with a flat face. They were all the President's men and if he found out that he released Daniella's friend, he will be good as dead.


He gulped hard, his mind struggled to think of the way out. And as he was about to give up an idea came in his mind.


"I have Sebastian and his family. Let her go and I will let those three go unharmed."


Daniella's eyes squinted, she stared at Roman Lee's wife who was crying while the monkey behind her was hugging her tightly and covering her mouth with a palm which was unwashed and hairy.


"Did you just kidnap a kid?" she said those words in a very low voice, deep and cold.


"Does it matter if it's a kid? Let my wife go and I will let those three go as well.


Daniella blew out a long sigh and nodded, "I don't even know why I asked you that. You are Roman Lee, you will kill anyone even a kid just to get what you want. I won't touch her and I will leave the house. Let them go now."


"How will I know that you will leave my wife unharmed?" distrust was stained in Roman's voice.


"You don't, so you're going to have to trust me."


"huh!" Roman Lee sneered mockingly, "trust you? You are the last person I will ever trust."


"I know right. I don't even trust myself," Daniella agreed. She picked up her bag pack which was full of smoke grenade and the glass full of smoothie. She took a sip and tossed the glass to the wall. The shattering sound has made Roman Lee's wife scream.


"Let her go, Daniella!" Roman Lee yelled in panic. He was not sure what was happening in his house but his body shook in panic by the thought of his wife.


Daniella signalled the monkey to cover the woman's mouth once again and then silence came. She put the phone closer to her ear and spoke, "let them go now," then she ended the phone, stared at her phone which was loading and tracking the location of Robert's phone.


Beep!


When her phone beeped and the screen showed the location, darkness overtook her face. With a cold face, she stared at Roman Lee's wife.


"See? That's your husband. He locked me and brother in the bas.e.m.e.nt. Experimented us like animals and now he even kidnapped a kid," she gestured the monkey to remove her palm from covering the woman's mouth.


"Please leave!" Roman's wife begged.


Daniella gave her a half shrug and carried her bag, she started to leave when the woman yelled.


"you Bitch! Bring the monkey and the snakes."


Daniella slightly turned her head, a smile formed on her lips enough for the woman's skin to shiver.


"I said I will leave the house. I don't remember promising to take my monkey and snakes with me, so," she giggled loudly, it sounded so wicked and terrifying, "In three hours, my snakes will wake up and you see the phone there?" she said pointing at the phone next to the blender she used to make her smoothie, "I hypnotized my monkey so once the phone rings, she will start hitting you and oh well, she's an animal so she doesn't really have empathy."


The woman's lips shook in fear, her eyes were red and wet from tears, "but you said that you are not gonna hurt me. You promised that!"


Daniella let out a mirthless laugh, "I said I will not hurt you which I won't, my animals on the other side," she flashed a devilish smile and left the place without finishing her words.
