Chapter 7

CLARISSE POV

Jayden is immovable. I tried to seduce him but has still no effect because of Maxine.

I clenched my fist and grabbed my cellphone.

Alejandro! I want her dead! Now! I said.

Ma'am, we can't do that, we don't know who we are colliding with. We don't even know ma'am what is her connection with the Valle's. My staff said

Have you seen his background check? I asked

Yes ma'am, she said in her background check that their family is just poor. Her father was a jeepney driver and her mother was a market vendor.

What are their names? I asked

Rogelio Perez and Marites Perez.

Do you know anything else? I asked annoyed

No more ma'am they said

qué demonios! pissed I told them.

I turned off the call and hurried out to talk to Rogelio and Marites.

Maxine's POV

What is your connection to the Valle's? The person who abducted me asked.

I was just quiet.

He hit me with a stick.

My whole body hurts because of the bruises .

I will strike you if you don't speak he threatens me.

Even if you strike me, I will not tell you anything. I said in my mind.

Who are you really Maxine? What is your connection to the Valle? Do you have a relationship? Another question.

Hajajsjsjsushshsjsksusushshsehdjjssjsuudhshsjsusjsjsjsjdjdjsjausjskaosksjjssn I said.

Eh? How can I speak when my mouth is tied.

Take off the handkerchief, pare. Another of their colleagues said.

They removed the handkerchief from my mouth.

Now speak

Wait! I was out of breath I said

First, I am Maxine Perez, of course you already know me. You kidnapped me. Second, I have no connection to the Valle. I only knew Jayden among them. Third, Jayden and I are close because he taught me. And lastly, we have no relationship. Friends or co-doctor. Gets? I said.

The five of them nodded.

Seriously? Do they believe in my nonsense?

Jayden's POV

I have with Edcheal and Ulyisha. Edcheal called Althea, Kassandra, Kathreen and Eloisa.

I called the four mokong who were with me. Jonell, Harvey, Leo and Sebastian.

When they all arrived at our meeting place, The things that we are going to use are ready.

Defense Secretary Gordon Reyes even talked to me because he wanted to know Maxine's condition. He also allowed us to use licensed guns. This is our mission to save Maxine.

Maxine's POV

10:50 pm

I still have no emotion on my face.

Those five are drinking anyway. They are about to fall asleep.

10:59 pm.

Just 1 minute. My brother isn't here yet. Is it my last minute?

11:00 pm.

'How is that Maxine, it's already 11 pm your brother isn't here yet.

they said while laughing.

No one asked, I said and rolled my eyes.

They pointed a gun in my head.

I closed my eyes.

I even heard a few gunshots.
