Chapter 18
"Do not get on my nerves."
"You should see your face right now," Matteo busted out laughing, he hadn't seen Stephan like this before. He wished he could snap his face right now. He took a sip from his orange juice as Elizabeth rushed in. "Sir."
"Did Miss Hemlocks call?"
"No." Elizabeth had gotten a call earlier in the day on behalf of Dawn and she remembered she was the one she met in Stephan's office earlier, she had rejected the call.
Although Stephan had told her to redirect any calls from miss hemlocks but it was unusual for Stephan to redirect people calls. She felt Dawn was a threat to her, and had to get rid of her.
"You are fired," she heard Matteo voice as he waved his head like he was shushing a fly away from the office.
"Sir." She stared at Stephan who was already dialing a number on his phone.
"Get out of my office right now." Stephan barked while they were busy talking Matteo was checking through the callers list at the receptionist desk through his phone, Elizabeth had been stupid enough to not delete it, she was unaware of the fact that Stephan and Matteo could easily hack into it without stress.
Elizabeth knelt down instantly as Stephan glared at her.
"Get out of my office before I blow your fucking brains out." Stephan barked as Elizabeth stood up in fear and dashed out.
The voice of Elizabeth was instantly heard on Matteo's phone and the conversation between she and a lady, Stephan listened closely.
'Step...phan'
Matteo eyes and Stephan's met at the last inaudible sound of Dawn's voice.
Matteo pressed the other recorded audio..
'If you don't pick up the call, I swear I will rip her throats out.'
Stephan instantly stood up from his seat alongside Matteo. Where the bloody hell was Dawn?
"Locate her phone, I will go and check if she is home." Stephan informed Matteo as he stepped into his private elevator immediately.
"Dawn's house now," he told his guard as he walked into the park, he didn't even wait for the driver to open the door as usual, he opened it himself immediately and got in dialing Olivia number. It was also ringing. Were they both in trouble? How did this happen? His placed the phone into his pocket as it vibrated instantly, he thought it was Olivia as he placed it to his ear without checking the caller.
"Olivia, where are you?"
"Are you now on drugs?" he heard his annoying brother's voice. "I was able to call back the number on the phone, she claims they have Dawn but she is willing to negotiate and get Dawn to us safely, I think someone was trying to scare her but the kidnappers got greedy."
"I will pay anything she is demanding, just get the damn location right now." Stephan yelled.
"Obviously I have my men on it, so don't fucking yell at me."
"Get off my phone," Stephan was pissed off he wondered how long she had been there, he got a message from Matteo, it was a video.
He downloaded it instantly and played it, as image of Dawn came up, he couldn't see her face properly but from her body, he could tell they had kidnapped her the day of their last meeting, thou the cloth was a bit stain with blood and dirt he could tell. He gritted his teeth in annoyance, she looked lifeless and there were marks of shoe print on her body as well as cuts.
This imbeciles, how could they beat her up to this point, the person recording her touched her thigh chuckling.
'Wonder what she would taste like, I am thinking honey.' He heard the voice laughing as he switched off the screen placing his hand through his head trying to control the burning urge in him. He had been patient with Dawn, he had not touched her not once and then this idiot did not only beat shit out of her, he had the audacity to touch her.
He was definitely going to blow off his hands, he texted Matteo to fucking send him the location right this minute. Any deals was deadly with people like this, greedy bastards like this could kill if they got bored and realize their catch is not fruitful.
"We are here Sir." The driver informed him as he stepped out of the car, he approached their door and before he knocked, the door flared opened as Olivia stared at him with tearing eyes. She hugged Stephan instantly. "Stephan," she sobbed. "Dawn... Dawn..." she sobbed some more.
"Where is Dawn?"

"I... I don't know," Olivia sobbed letting go of Stephan and blowing her nose into her handkerchief. "Please come inside, I don't know what to do, I wanted to call you but you weren't so nice to me the last time we met." Stephan didn't have time for this nonsense but he knew Olivia might also have some vital information that might be useful to locate Dawn, he didn't trust the person that spoke to Matteo over the phone, what was the guarantee that they would pay and they won't still kill Dawn.
He followed Olivia inside as she closed the door behind him motioning him into the living room.
"What the hell is he doing here?" Stephan heard as he stared at Damien, his head was bandaged all around.
"When last did you talk to her?"
"Damien was the last person with her but the kidnappers bashed his head when he was trying to help."
Of course they bashed the nitwit head, he was such a useless prick. Was he really Jerome's brother, probably he was an adopted son, Stephan thought not even looking at him but at Olivia.
His phone vibrated in his hand as he got a message from Matteo.
An address.
He looked at the address properly as he felt Olivia lean in to see what he was looking at on his phone, but she wasn't fast enough as he closed the phone and placed it into his pocket. "Alright then," Stephan said about to take his leave as he felt Olivia's hand on his. He glared at her and she instantly removed her hand fearing that he would say something mean to her. "Ain't you going to stay a bit?" Olivia asked sobbing as she sneezed into her handkerchief.
"And do what? Drink tea and chit chat?" He wasn't surprised by Olivia's question, he had always had his suspicious about her as regards Dawn and her behaviour lately since Dawn showed up had been outrageous. How could she now be concerned about him and not her sister? He looked at her angrily as he walked out of the house.
Olivia had thought he would stay back, it seemed her plan wasn't working and Stephan was actually falling for Dawn, but how did he find out about Dawn? The police hadn't yet placed the news on air.
She tried to think about how he would have known but nothing was coming up.
"Did you have anything to do with all this Olivia?"

"You told me to keep Dawn in that restaurant for a little while and then this happened."
"What the hell are you insinuating?" Olivia bursted into tears. "How would I get people to hurt my sister? How could you think so low of me?"
Damien stared at her but he wasn't buying her story, he had been in the hospital for a week due to the head injury so he didn't have much time to address the issue. He had called Jerome to please help him out. 'You want me to help you get Stephan's woman, are you mad?'
Jerome had yelled at him over the phone, he didn't know how Jerome knew that information.
'She is my girlfriend not his woman'
'Do you think I am foolish? You want me to help that idiot Stephan. Don't call my number again if this is the nonsense you want to talk about.'
Damien was so pissed at Jerome, he didn't have much shares in the company and Jerome was in charge of most of the financial aspects, so he didn't know how to go about it. He was irritated when Jerome had mentioned Dawn as Stephan's woman, he even started to question it, was she really his woman? Maybe she was and she didn't give him the full details.
"Then how come you never turned up at the restaurant?" Damien asked with folded hands staring at Olivia. "And what was your plans Olivia? What was your plans?"
"Stop all this," Olivia sobbed some more. "My sister is missing..." She sobbed some more.
Stephan was still in his car thinking, he had to figure out a game plan, he looked at his phone and sent a message to the head of his security, the address Matteo sent him. He knew Matteo would have done the same but right now he wasn't thinking straight.
He patted the driver as the driver drove off knowing where they were going.
"We will pick up Matteo in front."
"Yes Sir." The driver nodded taking note and keeping a sharp eye on the road for any sight of Matteo, he turned into the street as Matteo entered the car quickly as the car zoomed off.
Matteo handed Stephan a rifle and a pocket knife, while he checked his gun magazine that it was loaded.
