Chapter Sixty-five
Elena’s pov
“Don’t get too worked up girl, I figured it out from my old friend, who has been keeping an eye on one of my enemies for me, you may know him as Mr. Billionaire” Oh Sweet Baby Jesus! Did he know the masked Billionaire guy?
“But that’s not possible, he can’t presume it was me,” I said to him.
“Well, Your lovely Mr. Billionaire is someone I hate so much so I had sent his boys to monitor him closely and so they found out he was meeting privately then they found your true identity, and boom… you know the rest of the story” I mentally smacked myself for being dumb.
I should have known that somehow, my cover would be blown.
“But don’t you worry, your secret is safe with me… Technically” He said the last part in a mocking tone.
“What are you going to do with me?”
“Nothing much, just wait for Mac to find our track and then he comes here and I shoot him.” How he said those words with ease left me absolutely speechless.
“Oh come on, it’s revenge for a reason,” He said, looking at my face.
“If you wanted to kill him, you could have done it many times,” I replied.
“Indeed you are right, he seemed to be very lucky to have escaped my trap. Like the time I sent the brothers of destruction to kill him…..” Mac never told me anything like that.
I guess there was more I needed to know about him.
“Anyways, I will keep you here and wait for him to come and then we can proceed to the next phase,” He said laughing and turning to leave.
“Liam!” I called him, causing him to stop in his tracks.
“You would never get away with this,” I said with a pissed-off look.
He began walking back to me “Oh darling, I already will get away with it and no one would stop me” He held my chin to look at his face.
“Such wonderful eyes you got here, It’s such a pity that I don’t do girls like you again… You don’t have the requirement that matches up to Linda” Ouch, that kinda hurt but then I didn’t care a bit about what he said, all I cared about was my safety.
“See you around darling” He left my chin and turned around with the guys, closing the door and leaving me all alone in the dark.

Mac pov
Not even the supervisors were aware that I had taken into the forest to find her. I was scared and multiple thoughts kept on playing in my head, leaving me to get really worried about the possibility of so many things.
I was certain Elena wouldn’t go out all by herself and get lost in the woods, she was smarter than that. I knew someone was behind this, but I couldn’t figure out who it would be.
Still going through the woods, my eyes landed on something familiar; It was the shoe she had worn this morning.
My fear was beginning to get evident before me, Elena was certainly kidnapped. Who would want to kidnap someone so dare? I thought as I kept delving further into the bush.
She didn’t have many friends, so I would not say it was one of her friends. Something within was telling me it was Ava but then, Ava was just a talker and could never be taken seriously.
I was in much emotional distress and it left me absolutely frustrated! I kept on going towards the deeper part of the woods, till I came to meet a little lake.
There were footprints scattered across and it depicted that people had been here before. I decided to follow the footprint, hoping it would lead me somewhere but it stopped at a crossroad.
There were two roads before me and I was confused about which to take. I was certainly far away from the camp and I didn’t mind, I was going to search for Elena and I would definitely find her- that was my conviction.

It had been almost an hour based on my imaginary clock that I had kept here. I was completely exhausted and my body hurts from being tied up in one spot.
Curses to you Liam for putting me in this situation, I was hungry and tired at the same time. I didn’t mind eating a fat cow at this point.
While in the position, there was only one thought that came to my mind at the moment and that was to escape.
The best way for them not to kill Mac was not to allow the latter to come here in the first place. I knew I needed to get out of here so fast and somehow I needed to find a Mac before it was too late.
Searching through the dark room, there was nothing of great importance that I could use to cut the ropes. That was till my left hand brushed through a nail that was at the back of the wooden chair I sat on.
Slowly, I raised my hands hoping that somehow the Nile could cut the ropes. It was a stupid guess, but I had to risk something and certainly, I am risking this one.
Moving the ropes back and forth, I prayed silently that it would work.
After minutes of repeating the same procedure, it eventually divided in half and the moment it did, I had all the rays of hope that I could get out of here.
Fondling my hands from the pain it had undergone, I thought of the next plan to get out of here and the only way out was the door and it had been locked from the outside.
I groan in frustration knowing that I hadn’t thought this plan through.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps approaching the door and a great idea came to my head. I rushed to get the wooden chair and hide behind the door.
The door clicked and the moment it opened, I bashed the chair on the person who had opened the door, not minding who it was.
It was one of Liam’s guys and he later went down unconsciously. Quickly, I grabbed the keys out of his pocket, pushed him into the room, and locked the door.
I wasn’t sure where I was going, but I knew I needed to be far away from here and get to Mac as soon as possible.
