Chapter 119

"I WANT ALL THE DOORS TO THE MANSION LOCKED AND THE MANSION DEFENSES ACTIVATED NOW!!" He thundered and I shook in fear.

"We've done all that Sir....all our troops have surrounded the mansion in preparation for this battle and I've sent for a helicopter for your escape...."

"Oh I don't need one...." he smiled as he walked towards me. He held my face up and stared at me. His smile was like that of an evil clown and I feared for my life in that moment. My heart was beating fast and my chest rising and falling in fast motion. God I was scared. Then...he slid his gun on my hairline on the way to my chin.

"I already have the helicopter for my escape. She will lead me out....." he motioned to me and I knew exactly what he was talking about.

I looked away and before I knew it, he held the gun at my head.

"I can shoot you right now if I want to but what's the hurry.....let's see how much this boyfriend of yours loves you...." he smiled and turned to his friend. "Bring the box!" he demanded.

I sat up and wondered what he was talking about. In the next second, his friend arrived with the box and I pushed my hair back, curious about what would happen next.

Drake placed the gun in his pocket and squatted to open the box. My heart jumped in fright and moved steps back as he smiled when he looked in the box.

The next thing I saw was him holding out a syringe and drawing into it some drug which he had ready to inject into me. I believed.

"Wh...wha...what is that???" I swallowed the bit of saliva in my throat as I asked.

"This...my love...is your ticket to heaven...."

"Wh...what???"

"Well ..you see I often change my mind a lot and I've decided I don't need you anymore. All the arrangements have already been made and this is the last bit of the puzzle....."

"What arrangements???"

"For the past days....you'll be noted to have been living in a hotel and constantly taking antidepressants to elevate your mood after your constant fights with Natalia. And when they find you dead in the suite, an autopsy will reveal these drugs in your blood and boom! Suicide....

"You bastard....how could you???"

"You'll be one of those celebrities who killed themselves in pursuit of peace not knowing it's in the next life waiting for them.....now let me warn you, firstly you'll feel dizzy and then your tongue will become heavy and it'll be too difficult for you to breathe....Then...." he lowered his head to face mine..."Then I don't know what will happen..."

"You won't get away with this....I promise you...you won't...."

"Baby...I already have..." he smiled and was about to inject me when a gunshot echoed through the room.

Suddenly, men in black ran in and surrounded Drake. At first I thought my prince charming was here only for him to prove me wrong. They were his bodyguards!

"Be careful sir....keep your eyes open...they're here...." one of them warned and immediately he dropped the syringe and pulled me up, crossing his thick arm against my neck.

I had my tiny arms on his hoping he'd at least make room for me to breathe.

A grave silence surrounded us in the next minute and out of nowhere, another team of black men emerged from in front of us. They had black outfits on and some wore black beanies while others wore black hats.

My heart jumped in joy and I knew my hero was here to rescue me. I smiled and almost jumped when Drake held me close to him and threatened to fire if I do anything stupid.

"Don't you move or I'll shoot you!" he scared me with the gun on my forehead. I immediately broke down and shivered in fright.

Unexpectedly, a gun fired and caused him to loosen his grip on me. It was the man in the lead on the other team that fired it.

"Are you crazy!!!!" Drake asked in anger.

"You can say that I am. So here's the deal. Don't scare her, don't touch her, don't talk to her! Am the one you should be dealing with!! Got that???" Adam??? How is he here??? And who are all these men with him?

"Look here bug guy...just because you're carrying a gun doesn't mean you know how to use it...."

"Eh...I wouldn't be too sure if I were you..." Adam smirked sternly pointing the gun at Drake.

"I see....so what you went for military training?? Seriously buddy...what took you so long....it's been a week already..." Drake fooled around and I thought this might be my chance to ran. He loosened his grip around my neck and I let go of my hands from his.

"You've changed since last I saw you....you've gotten yourself bodyguards....." Adam loosened up as well and stood straight.

"Emotions are always misleading but fate always assures us of the tangible outcome...." Drake smirked and sratched the corner of his eyebrow before putting his hands on his waist. I was breathing heavily hoping I wouldn't sell myself out to him.

"Fair enough...but don't you think they're....one too many???" Adam asked and immediately one of his bodyguards pointed a gun at him. Right away, I stepped on his boot with my heel and kicked his groin making him fall to the ground. I ran to Adam and before I could even say a word to him, he pushed me to Lauren who grabbed me and headed for the door.

"Get her out of here..Now!!" he demanded but I wasn't in agreement with his decision.

"No.!! Adam!!! Please...let me go!!" I struggled with Lauren but she wasn't giving up. She led me to the living room and headed for the door with an entire army of men in black securing us.

"Am sorry but we have to leave...." She tried to make me understand but I couldn't. Adam was in there risking his life against Drake all because of me. He was no match for that psychopath and he would be killed within a blink.

We couldn't leave.

Unfortunately, despite all my efforts I was over powered. Lauren pushed me into a car and slammed the door. I tried to open it but it wouldn't.

She quickly got into the passenger's seat and commanded that we drive off.

"We can't leave...what about Adam...??" I asked.

"Don't worry...we have a plan....he'll be safe!" Lauren spoke and through the amber traffic light, I could see a smile on her face.

"Are you sure??? Because...."

"Yes am sure....he will be. His orders were to take you out of that place and that's what we did....", she assured me and stretched her hand to touch my cheek.

I missed the warm touch from her hand that always melted my heart. I missed her pretty face and her motherly instincts. I missed it all.

"That barbarian will face his doom today...." she said and kissed my hand although the smile on my face quickly faded. Something just wasn't right.

Then....my memory got a shock and remembered. Barbarian..... Necrophiliac.....Oh No! Angela Juan!!!

"We...we have to go back....." I asked. "Driver please turn the car around....we have to go back....it's very important...."

"She already told you we can't! Adam is safe. The military are with him and...."

"No...this isn't about Adam...it's about Angela Juan's justice....it's going to safe a life...."

"You mean a death! Angela is dead Eleanor...."

"...and Drake is the one who killed her...I know that....but...."

"Yes we all know that and the matter is being investigated by the police...." Lauren assured me yet again but I was not on the slightest convinced. Drake was powerful. He controlled the entire world with his money and I was it's even if he were to get arrested, he would pay his way out like he always does and all this would've been for nothing.

Angela was a person who deserves justice. She died a horrible death and am going to make sure I fight for her rights.

Her story doesn't deserve to be trampled upon and made fan of. She deserves to rest in peace and am going to do anything to make sure of that.

"All the evidence to strengthen Angela's case is in the mansion....if they blow it up....it'll all be gone and this case will never be solved..."

"Eleanor what on earth are you talking about??"

"Please....go back....please...." I cried and hoped she'd listen to me. I looked at her and she looked away making me believe they weren't going to budge. I had to do something and fast!
