Chapter 22 - Her misery (1/2)

After Evan left Daniella's apartment. He stayed in the backseat of his car, Kirby was in the driver seat, waiting for his order to leave the place.

Kirby scratches his hair discreetly, wondering what his boss was thinking.

He had been like this for three days, his mind was somewhere else, he didn't even notice that the meeting they had earlier was done until he shook his arm.

He sighed and looked at his boss through the rear-view mirror.

Kirby could see the difficulty in Evan's expression, his hands were crossed as he stared at the window.

”Evan, do you want to go back in the office or to the villa,” he eventually asked after feeling his stomach grumbling.

But Evan didn't respond, instead, he was staring at the man who had just left the building where Daniella Chen is living.

Kirby smiled, the man's built was tall, almost like a wrestler but his bicycle was too small for his body and it was pink with a basket in front.

”Kirby. Get out of the car,” he was astonished when Evan said it with a rush. He didn't ask any question and got down.

Quickly, Evan occupied the driver's seat and speed out, living Kirby alone in the side street.

Evan pushed the gas, his eyes squinted as he focused on the road.

He couldn't be mistaken, the man with a blonde hair riding a bicycle was the owner of Daniella's apartment.

He let out a shaky sigh, wondering if he was in the room when he kissed Daniella.

His hands gripped the steering wheels, veins popped in his forehead as he angrily slows down.

As much as he wanted to speed up, he can't. The blonde man was driving a bicycle and it would have been faster if he had just walked.

They stayed at the same speed for hours, he kept his distance from him and drove discreetly and seems like the tiredness has weakened the man's security.

Soon, they arrived in the cold warehouse, Evan stopped some meters away from where the blonde man stopped. Then he got out of the car and sneakily followed him.

Evan's eyebrows creased with confusion, he was familiar with the place.

He sighed, disregarded the cold wind whistling into his ear.

It was almost midnight, he put his phone on silence and turned on the flashlight.

He doesn't know why he followed the blonde man, but a part of him was curious as to where he was heading.

The blonde man closed the door, Evan waited for some minutes before he touched the doorknob.

It was unlocked, he gulped and wondered if the blonde man knew that he was following him.

(Should I go) he asked himself whether to go or not.

He doesn't know him at all, he was not even sure if he was following the same man he had in his mind.

Then, his hand let go of the doorknob, and slowly his feet walked at the direction where his car was parked.

As he walked out, a scream that scared the sleeping birds in the forest has made his eyes swelled in shock.

(What is that?) his heart pounded, started to worry of what was happening inside.

--

Some hours earlier.

As soon as Daniella arrived at the warehouse, Robert helped her to carry the Senator. The man was unconscious after Daniella smacked his neck with her gun.

She sighed and followed Robert with her face as dark as the night sky.

Her hands clenched on her side. They entered the room and she found the Senator Villa tied up on the human size dart target while his daughter was sitting on the chair with both wrists locked on the armchairs.

The woman still has the bandages on her eyes, and her appearance has made Daniella's blood boil with anger.

Fuming, she turned to Robert.

”Why her eyes are still patched? Remove it!” her shriek bounded around the four walls of the room, waking up the two senators and the woman on the chair.

Claire was just outside, she never participates in torturing people, especially if it involves another woman.

In the other side, Robert scratched his head, Claire has instructed him not to remove the bandages since the senator's daughter's eyes have been infected.
