Chapter 308 - Your forgiveness doesnt matter to us. (2/2)

But the thing was, her phone was not with her. It was ringing close to where Sara was standing and she could not remember when Sara took it.

Sara took out Medusa's phone from her pant's back pocket and placed it on 'silent' before keeping it back on her pocket.

”What are you doing with my phone?”  Medusa asked as she continued to press on the little remote in her hand that was supposed to alert more men come inside.

But no matter how much and hard she pressed, no one appeared inside. She could no longer hide the fact that she was scared. She did not want anything to interrupt her plan especially now that something big was coming. Neither was she willing to die. The only one who was supposed to die was Sara!

Medusa looked for a way to escape, but there was no way she could run out through the front door since Sara was blocking her way.

She knew now was not the time to act indifferently. It was the time to save herself.

Quickly, she began to run further inside the penthouse.

Sara wasted no time before following her but she kept a fair distance.

As Medusa continued to run, she kept pressing some almost invisible buttons on the wall but still, no help came.

She entered a room and quickly opened the walk-in closet's door while throwing things at Sara to stay away.

Sara watched as she quickly threw down a painting that was hanging on the wall.

When the painting dropped to the floor, she saw something like a light switch on the wall where the painting had been hanging.

In a hurry to get away from Sara before the explosion, Medusa pressed the switch and immediately, the wall slided open to reveal a dark secret room.

Never in Sara's life would she have thought that there was a secret door there.

As Medusa was about to run in, Sara finally appeared behind her and dragged her back with full force, which caused her to trip and fall.

Sara looked down at the counter and counted the last numbers with it.

”10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...0”

As Medusa closed her eyes to wait for death, she heard a phone begin to ring instead.

It was Sara's.

Immediately Sara answered the call, she placed it on loudspeaker.

”Good Job” A male voice said to her.

Sara smiled and ended the call immediately.

”What...what was that?” Medusa asked  in confusion and shock.

Quickly, Sara pulled the timer from her body. ”My little cousin makes use of this timer whenever she's doing her homework. How didn't you know that?” Sara laughed.

”What did you do?” Medusa tired to get up from the ground but she could not because her ankle was hurting a lot, and she tried not to show that she was going through pain.

”I was only buying time. Are you stupid? Even if I wanted to die with someone, it would be your brother. Why would I come in here and start having a long meaningless conversation with you?”

”Not just your new arrivals, almost every illegal businesses you own, plus this hotel you run with criminals.  Everything is going down. I told you all I do not like to get angry. Your people even dared make my little cousin cry on the day she was supposed to be happy. This is my little payback for you all” She said with a dark look.

The only way to fully get the Blacks was to get rid of Medusa. If there had gone for the Blacks directly, Medusa was obviously going to help them out or probably use other organisations she supported. And aside from that, they wanted to know where their journals were kept. Since Medusa was more like Black's sponsor, they believed she would have most of the journals to prove she had been into illegal dealings.

Once Sara was done explaining to Medusa, some men who were dressed in army uniforms entered inside the walk-in closet.

At that point, Medusa knew she had been had.

Even the door to her secret room where almost every of her journals and ledgers were kept was open.

”Thank you for your help Miss Wang. The gang leader and some other members escaped but but we are certain they would be apprehended soon. But for now, we'll be assigning some men to guard you since we cannot have you stay at the Barrack as you are preparing for your wedding.” A man who looked like a general said to her. He was around his early or mid forties.

As they spoke, two men had already pulled Medusa up and used an handcuff on her.

”Alright.” Sara said with a smile before handing him Medusa's phone which currently had many missed calls and text messages.

Medusa was still stupefied by the whole thing.

She opened her mouth, but nothing came out.

She was even more shocked when Muchen suddenly came in and hugged Sara.

”There's no way in hell I'd ever allow you do something this dumb again.” He said in relief as his hands tightened around her.

As the men took her away, Medusa looked one more time at Sara and Muchen.

Was she really as evil as they saw her?

She had wanted a simple life also.

After her parents died when she was still very young, she grew up alone with her brother.

He had been like her father, brother, and friend.

He did illegal things to support her and to send her to school.

Although she did not like the fact that he did bad things, there was nothing she could do about it because she really needed to go to school and live like her mates.

Along the line, she developed an abominable kind of feeling for her brother.

He probably did too because he did not push her away when she made the first pass at him.

She had not wanted him to continue being in an organization and had asked him to leave with her to somewhere far, but he refused her saying that he wanted to be the leader so he could take good care of her. He dedicated his soul into that conquest and out of anger, she cut ties with him.

That was when she got married to a terrible man who always beat her up. No matter the number of times she reported him to the police, they did nothing because he always paid them off.

When she could no longer take it, she went to her brother for help after years of being apart. At that time, he was already the leader of Black after killing the previous leader.

He made her swear to be a part of them passively. That way, he could fully protect her with his people and would make her powerful.

When she agreed, it all resulted in her stabbing her ex-husband to death. From that moment, she knew there was no turning back.

She also stopped using her name just like her brother who had also changed his name many years ago.

Many manipulation from her side with support from Fuji, she got into the Jin's household that was at the verge of collapse.

It had been a simple deal. Father Jin would marry her, and they were going to raise the Jin corporation to the top with the Black's help.

Not just that, fifty percent of the profit from the Jin corporation would go to the Blacks for as long as the organisation continued to exist.

From the moment the Blacks helped the Jin corporation find their feet again, the Jin family became known.

But now...

Here she was. Was her time of fame over?

She had been quiet for years. Did not go oit for any occasions, did not have friends.

She had lived quietly.

But the first time she came out, because of a stupid painting she wanted to give to her father-in-law as a bribe so he would give them much of his inheritance.

Now, she was like this because of greed.

Why did she come out?

Why did she meet Sara again?

Why did her father-in-law like that artist's painting in particular?

Why was that painting the only one left of that artist?

Why did she fall into Sara's trap?

So many whys in her head, but she was going to keep asking herself that question in prison.

Because as it was now, she was not seeing any hope of her ever coming out.

Even her brother could not save her now..

”I won't ever forgive you” She said to Sara with glazed eyes.

”Your forgiveness doesn't matter to us” Muchen answered instead
