Sold To The Wicked Him

“Do you have any news?”

Asked by Menandro as he quickly arrive in where Elton was. Elton have no other option but do so as he was involve in the matter.

“Uncle, please look at this, I did my best gathering much information, I already asked someone to carefully check out the location where they are kidnapped but I haven’t received any news about it. All we have is the information about the records that Aiden sent me. His phone is also out of coverage. There is a high possibility that even if we track that navigation on it we can’t find them”

The two know too well how Aiden bought a commissioned phone. It would send the car’s records if ever the user activates a certain command. Once it has undergone in that, even if the phone was ruined, the command will not be terminated. Such items can cost a fortune but as for Aiden, it is but a simple thing to assure his safety.

“Did you have any hint of who did this?”

Nodding his head Elton click a few tabs on his laptop and showed it to Menandro.

“This guy, I seen him somewhere before. And not just somewhere, he is connected to Brylle”

“Brylle? How did you?”

Shaking his head Elton explained,

“There is no much time left for me to explain how, uncle, but you know Brylle, he may hate Aiden because of what happened before. Even when I am with Aiden and we somehow cross path with him, he is always up to no good I swear”

“And why do you think this guy is related to him?”

Confused by what Elton was saying, Menandro know too well how bright of a kid this guy was. He wouldn’t be Aiden’s friend if he isn’t, but his mind is working the way even he has no idea why he thinks of that.

“I always had suspicion with Brylle. Knowing Aiden he wouldn’t pay any glance about those who wants him to fall in doom. I know him too well. Even when we are a little that is how he is. And with that I had this sense of looking out for anyone that may act suspicious. And that man, named carl, he is one of those I check. He is part of a gang that is around the place where Aiden was”

Waving his hand, Menandro put his other hand on the table. Catching up in whatever Elton had said.

“A gang…”

“Yes, uncle. And the first footage that Aiden sent me confirmed it. He did met that Carl”

Now Menandro had his hand on his head. It wasn’t him to be like that. he always have his composure no matter what it was. But every time that the topic was about Aiden, he can’t help but have his composure be shaken.

Loosing Claudia is so much for him, that he worries too much that Aiden will be taken away from him too. If that did happen, he can’t think of anything that can save him from losing his sanity.

“Do you know where they are?”

Shaking his head, he wasn’t certain of what to say. But then the door opened. Revealing Lilith that was full of sweat. Holding a helmet in her hand, she was still wearing her maid uniform. Which surprises the two.

“Master… Menandro, Sir … Elton…”

Picking up something inside her pocket, she showed them a rectangular object that shows a red mark and a map.

“What is that?”

“I think… this is Madam’s location as of the moment”

She explained catching her breathe. Looking at each other, they rush and quickly see it for themselves.

Laughing like a crazy guy, Elton’s lips curves a grin.

“How sly fox!”

Elton shouted in a tone that one can’t tell if he was mad or what.

“Uncle, I think I now know where they are”

“Who are you? What do you want?”

Shouting, Aiden can’t see who that man was, but all he knows is that no matter who that man is, he isn’t someone he would want to meet.

Gripping his face, it would not be a lie to say that a mark can be left seen on his skin once the man let go of his face.

“Who would think that you will be here today? I am also quite surprised. To think that that kid would be loyal to me, I never ever thought that he would give me something that I would gladly accept… I did not even expect him to do something to me at all but look”

By just hearing his words, it is enough for Aiden to know who he was.

“Paul…”

“Oh, I didn’t expect you to know me this fast either. Look at that, when you didn’t hope for anything, it would be. But when you expected it to be, they will just fail you. Just like how I wish you died that day. I expected you dead but look at you, still living and all. I expected to see your downfall and yet here you are, rising and catching those spies I planted for such a long time!”

Laughing, Aiden was surprised to hear his words.

“Hah… now I wonder what to do to you now. I am not that prepared for such an occasion… you see?”

Removing the thing that blocks him in seeing what was happening, as soon as Aiden gain back his sight, what he sees was Lea lying on the floor with her hands tied with rope.

“Leah!!”

He shouted but she is not moving, even the hum he heard just a while ago is gone. Staring at her, he look if she is still breathing but before he can even confirm it, he face landed on the ground as he fall together with his seat. He was kicked falling, and the one responsible for that is none other than Paul.

“Release her at once”

Boredly looking at Aiden, he bends his knees to sit and see Aiden clearly.

“Isn’t she your wife? What shall I do with her then?”

“Don’t you dare touch her!”

Chuckling, it made Paul confirm the fact that she is truly his wife.

“To think that you would be like that? Really? You? Aiden Lazarus? Of all… I never thought that you are at least have a heart. didn’t you do nothing when you let both of my parents die?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Don’t act dumb, I know you are not”

Men came and pulled Lea out of the room. Looking at her she didn’t move.

“Why are you taking her? Leave her alone!”

“Shh, don’t bark so much, it hurts my ears”

“Paul, leave her alone”

A grin can be seen curbing on his lips.

“No”

And so Paul left leaving Aiden shouting on the top of his lungs.

…

“Who is that?”

“Hello Sir, Master told us to dis-”

Not finishing his words he halted for a second. Rethinking of his choice whether he would tell the gentleman about that.

“Ahh, so another toy of him will be thrown”

Forcing a laughter, the two guards holding Lea on their arm then look at each other.

“Yes sir”

“May I see?”

He mumbles gently smiling at the two.

“Of course sir, you may”

Hours passed by and Aiden was left on the room staring at nothing but darkness.

Cling

The door opened once again, but this time it wasn’t Paul who entered but an unknown guy wearing a mask and a black shirt.

Opening the lights there he saw the thing that the man throw in front of his face.

It was Lea’s dress, filled with nothing blood on it.

“L… lea…”

He mumbled and before he know it, a large fog escaped from somewhere.

‘Aiden, please keep hold of yourself’

‘Nana? Why? What is it?’

‘Please promise me that you will be tough and…’

‘Nana…. You are acting weird… what is wrong?’

‘Aiden… your mother…’

…

“Aiden? Aiden! Are you alright?? Aiden wake up!!”

He can hear Elton’s voice shouting as he was carried by someone. But no matter what his condition was, he dare not mind about himself.

Opening his eyes, his whole body feels weak. But he still tried his best to ask something that was bugging his mind.

“Lea…”

He mumbled but it was so weak for them to even hear it.

“Lea? Lea where are you?!”

Shouting, it made Menandro bring down his son. He was carrying him on his back.

“Aiden… you are awake”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

He mumbled and hug him tight. Letting out a deep sigh, one can see the relief on his face. But even with that gesture that surely Aiden would not let happen, he did not care any less about his father giving him a hug.

“Lea? Where is she?”

Even on his state, it was her that he was thinking. After all, the moment he closes his eyes, what he saw was Lea’s dress filled with blood.

No one answered Aiden, Menandro and Elton both look at each other. Not knowing how to speak what happened to him. not finding the right words to say what they saw the moment they arrived.

“Aiden… about Lea…”

“She is not there, son. We could not find her… we are sorry”
