Chapter 81 – Found the culprit.
“Is he awake?”
“Yes boss.” The guard didn’t hesitate to open the small cell gate for his boss and sister.
As usual, Don’s hands were clasped together behind his back while his sister walked by his side till they halted a few meters away from the hostage.
The man’s face was lowered to the ground, but when he noticed their presences, he lifted his gaze to them weakly.
From his face down to his waist was all bloody and his legs were covered in a grubby looking pants.
He looked like he would drop dead any moment from then, and the chains restraining him from the wall wasn’t helping at all.
“I will just go straight to the point. Why did you try to kill me?” Don asked calmly, but that was the opposite of what he felt inside.
He was infuriated and badly wanted to get his hands on him. The only thing stopping him was the promise he made to his sister not to punish him today.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
He was probably half dead and might die if dealt with today, especially by Don.
“Haven’t you done enough? You should at least let me go already.” The man shuddered almost inaudibly.
“That doesn’t answer my question.” Don sneered at him.
“Besides, I do the questioning and all you just have to do is to answer.” He added, taking a step forward.
“And why should we let you go?” Bella voiced out and took a step forward to stand close to her brother.
“Because I wasn’t the one who wanted him dead, I was paid to do so. The mastermind is still roaming in the street.” The man blurted out, but it shocked neither Don nor his sister.
Somehow, they both had the feeling that was it, but just couldn’t wrap their head on whom it might be. Although, Don had his suspicions and was looking for strong evidence to back his claim.
“Then who paid you to do it?” Bella asked with a look of disdain.
The man didn’t say a word, this only angered Don, who balled his hands in a fist behind him.
“Who was it that tried to kill me?” Don’s voice came out hard and rough.
He was already out of patience and wouldn’t hesitate to make him talk, even if he had to slaughter his slowly.
“Answer me this instant.” He groused out and freed his hands from his back, ready to wage towards him.
Just then, the cell gate opened and Draco walked in with some files in his hands.
“Boss, the information is ready.” He announced and halted beside Don, but not so close to him.
“What’s in the file?” Don glanced at him.
“He is a trained assassin for a criminal organization in Italy and goes by the name, Marco.” Draco briefed up the information on the file without staring into it.
“What about the other one?”
“Yes boss, he was the same guy who met with Brandon.” Draco nodded.
Don clenched his fist as he gritted his teeth. His facial expression at the moment made Draco move back a little.
“Brandon sent you?” Bella spoke out from where she stood with her face looking puzzled.
Marco’s jaw dropped open immediately. This was not supposed to not happen, no one was meant to know who his client was.
Now, he understood why Brandon wanted him to leave the job undone. With this man standing in front of him right now, he was capable of doing anything to him.
Currently, he regrets not leaving for his country as ordered by Brandon the other day. If only he had listened…..
“You really don’t want to talk?” Bella scoffed out when he remained silent.
“Draco!” Don growled out and turned sharply to face Marco.
“Yes boss!”
“Heat up the iron, this bastard needs to be shown his place.”
“Yes, Brandon was the mastermind. He and a lady named Clarissa gave the job to my organization, and I was assigned to it.” Marco didn’t realize it when he started to spill everything out in a haste.
The few days he had been in that cell taught him not to mess with the man standing in front of him.
“I’ve told you all you need to know, so please let me go.” He cried out to the people who were now looking shocked, especially Bella.
None of them expected Clarissa to be a part.
Yes! They were not in good terms ever since Don broke up with her and threw her out of the house, but still, it was never in their imagination that she could attempt to kill Don.
Realization dawned on Don that she was probably the lady in the car with Brandon on the day they had gone to meet Marco.
All of a sudden, anger surged through him, and he stomped out of the cell without any hesitation. He wasn’t going to spare either of them, not Brandon or even Clarissa!
Shortly, Bella was behind him, running and yelling out his name for him to stop, but rather, he increased his pace and soon was on his way to his car.
Fortunately, she was able to catch up with him before he could get into the car. She slammed the door back, breathing heavily like a person who had run a marathon race.
“No, you can’t do this.”
“That fucking bastard needs to be taught a terrible lesson. Brandon has bitten more than he can chew, and this time, he will get it from me.” He fumed with rage.
“But, you know we can’t do what you’re planning to do, right?” Bella raised a brow at him, but he was looking less concerned at the moment.
“And why? Those motherf*ckers almost killed me and because of their freaking action, one of my most trusted guards is still in the hospital.”
“I know all these, Don. But what can we do?” Bella’s voice came out even more frustrated.
The fact that she knows who the criminal was and could not do anything angers her too, but there was nothing she could do at the moment than to stop her brother.
He could do the undone, which might bring in many problems among the clan. That was the least she wanted.
“I can go there to end his miserable life, just get out of my way.” He made to push his way through but paused again when Bella blocked his path.
“You should just stop this. We can’t kill Brandon, and you know that. I also badly want to end his life for what he did to Rex, he shouldn’t go scot-free but there’s nothing we can do.” She ranted out loudly.
“There are rules that we must never kill one another, or have you forgotten?”
Somehow, it made Don calm a little, and he folded his knuckles tight into a fist.
“F*ck the damn rules.” With this, he stomped back into the house.
Bella sighed in relief as she rested on the car. That was a little frightening. She exhaled sharply once again before walking into the house.
All these while, Lillian was standing near the car she had arrived in as she watched the scene that played in front of her.
Her face looked confused, and she wondered if he was the same man she slept with yesterday.
Not hesitating any further, she strolled into the house, hoping to still catch up with Bella.
