Chapter 19
Chase walked into the dungeon and his soldiers who was guarding the cell immediately bowed to him.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Open the door” He instructed and they nodded.
Tyrell, his personal guard was tagging along behind him.
The soldiers obeyed him and opened the cell, Chase walked in.
The dungeon was built underground, so it’s not easy for someone not living in the house to find or notice the dungeon.
“Tell me all you know” Chase tells the man calmly bringing out a chair.
The man before him, was already wounded as he has different cuts on his face and is bleeding.
Maybe he gave the soldiers a hard time and they’ve to drag him all the day .
He stared at Chase without opening his mouth or saying a word.
Chase sighed.
He was already getting pissed , he’s so angered especially after hearing a slave with no respect call him bitter.
“What do you know?” Chase asked again but the man didn’t bug.
“He haven’t said a word since we brought him in” Tyrell whispered to Chase.
“Argh .. did you lost your tongue or something?” He asked, feeling more angry.
This time, the man smirked.
Chase stood up and ran his hand through his hair then unexpectedly he punch the man on his face and grab him by his collar.
The man, was tied to the chair so even if he try to fight Chase back, there’s no way that he can.
“You fucking open your damn shit mouth and say something!” He yelled at him staring directly into his eyes in anger.
The man smirked…
“You’re just like your father, pathetic”
He said to Chase in a whisper and it even angered Chase more.
Without blinking, Chase start punching him. He hates it so much when someone tells him he acts like his father.
The man’s face was already covered in blood but Chase didn’t care. He was only filled with anger and the rust of revenge.
“Boss, you’ve to stop. He’s the only one we get now and we can’t stand to lose him” Tyrell said and that stopped Chase from punching him.
He moved back and led on the wall, breathing heavily. His hand was bleeding but he didn’t feel any pain nor care if it hurts.
“We should get you treated” Tyrell told him but he didn’t respond so Tyrell ordered one of the guards to get the aid kit.
Chase walk once again to the man who was already weak and laying helplessly like a rug.
He once again hold his collar and raise his head up, making him to look at him. The man, looks like someone who’ll die at a little moment.
“I see you don’t want to talk? I’ll come back again for the final interrogation and if you didn’t say anything to me, I won’t kill you. But I’ll make you kill your family with your bare hands” Chase promised him grunting his teeth.
The man’s eyes heated up but he tried to not make Chase notice the fear in his eyes.
Angered, Chase walked out of the dungeon and tells the soldiers to keep an eye on him.
Then he head back to his room. He got there and walk into the shower then washed his bleeding hands.
He stopped and stared at himself in the mirror, and the only thing he sees is a bitter man but he can’t help it.
His dark side has taken the best part of him and he can’t even help it.
The only thing he knows and could think of, is the person or the people after him and what he loves.
Or maybe, they’re not just after him.. but after his family too?
Chase punch on the wall in anger and crack his teeth. He immediately open the drawer and brought out his drug “Clonazepam” which helps him calm down his anxiety.
He hadn’t been taking it for a while because he believes he’s getting better. But maybe he’s wrong.
Still staring at himself on the mirror, the ringing tone of his phone brought him back to the world.
He sighed and walk out of the bathroom, took out a cigarette and light it before picking up the call.
“What?”
It was Tyrell on the line but Chase hadn’t even look at the phone screen.
“Boss.. They find a fingerprint on the body of one of Godfather’s soldier. I think we find something” Tyrell said.
Chase’s eyes lightened up and he turned immediately and grab his personal car key.
His soldiers has the car keys of all the cars in the building expect one which Chase drives alone without convoy.
Rushing outside and still on the phone he asked..
“Who else know about this?”
“No one, I made sure no word left the building. You’re the first person to hear this” Tyrell tells him.
“Good. Where are you?”
” I left the building minutes ago, Let’s meet at the Pub Crawl , I’ll be there in six ”
“What? Are you insane? I need to see the dead bodies and we need to get to work immediately”
“Boss… Godfather is coming over to the warehouse to see the corpse, he can’t see you investigating on the dead bodies of his men!”. Tyrell said.
Chase sighed and got into his car, “Okay. See you at six”

Rowan took Calista to show her around the town and she couldn’t stop admiring the beauty of the city.
Sitting outside the ice cream shop, Calista sucks on her ice cream.
But Rowan was masked, he doesn’t want to draw attention to himself. Even though he has Chase’s guards but he don’t want to be disturbed.
“You like ice cream that much?” Rowan asked Calista seeing how she smiles over the ice cream.
“Mmmh! It’s been long I had this too” She smiled.
Calista had come to love Rowan because of his character. He doesn’t even look at her as a slave but treats her like a normal human being.
For the past three hours since she’s out of Chase’s penthouse, Calista had forgotten that she’s living as a slave.
“So…. Do you want to continue your education, yunno?” Rowan suddenly asked out of the blue.
