Chapter 85
Chapter 85
Third Person POV
A shiver ran down Jack's spine when he saw Leo and Geo. That was the name his father had given
them.
They are sleeping right now but their terror didn't fade or made him less scared.
His kids were sleeping too. They were looking tired and their face was covered with dirt and stains.
"Jack, did you miss your pets?" Arnold asked him with a cheered voice.
Jack was silent for a minute. His heart was beating so fast that he could hear it clearly.
The pain in his heart was increasing along with his heartbeats. He turned his gaze to his enthusiastic
father.
"Leave them. How could you do that? You have issues with me. Right? Then why are doing this with
them." Jack asked his father
Arnold scoffed and said "You are right. You are my biggest problem. I never wanted to give you this
business. This belonged to my grandfather and then me."
He took some steps toward him and gave him a push and continued "But he made me sign a contract
that I had to give all these to my son when he would complete his 21st birthday."
He again pushed him and seethed "I hate you along with your mother. I hate your stepmother too."
"That's why you killed her too," Jack stated.
Arnold looked shocked for a moment then smirked and said "So you got to know huh. That bitch Maria
had told you right."
"Who is Maxim? And where did you meet his mother?" Jack asked further
"She was a virgin little girl who wanted money and we made a deal. I fucked her and left her in her
country." Arnold chuckled
"You fooled him too. Just like you did with Alan." Jack asserted
" I did," Arnold stated proudly
"How many siblings do I have, father??" Jack enquired him
His father was in deep thinking for some minutes then said "I really don't know. I have fucked all around
the world. So maybe you would find my kids everywhere."
"Now get ready to watch your children get killed in front of you and then your wife." His father said and
gestured something to that person.
The person nodded and walked inside the small cage and threw a glass of water on the kids.
"You bastard leave my kids," Anna shouted, not caring about her movements.
Both kids stirred and opened their eyes. Matthew's head was on Mia's lap and he opened his mouth to
sneeze.
They both sat and looked at their surroundings and Mia's gaze went to father.
"Matt look Pa," Mia said and ran toward the end of the cage.
"Pa." She shouted.
Jack was about to run toward his kids when he felt a bullet piercing in his back.
He fell down on his knees and winced in agony. His whole body was screaming in pain.
He heard shouts from his family and gathered all his strength to get up but again someone shot him.
He fell down on the floor and again blood started to flow from his nose.
He wanted to get up and save his family but he just didn't have any power left in his body.
"Wake them up," Arnold said.
After a few minutes, two roars echoed all over the house. The kids froze at their place after watching
the lions.
They screamed loudly and pressed themselves to the end of the cage.
That was not the first time when Anna was feeling helpless. She had endured that all.
But now she couldn't as it was not her. It was her kids who needed her but she couldn't do anything.
The bomb doesn't scare her. If her children were not in this building, she would have sacrificed her life.
"Pa, Ma." She heard her kids crying and she couldn't do anything except crying.
Maxim came inside the room and looked at the scene in front of him in shock.
This was not in their plan. They are supposed to leave the kids with their mother after killing Jack.
The cage and the lions were supposed to kill Jack, not the kids or their mother.
Hurting kids were not okay with him. His own child was on his way.
Anna looked at Maxim and begged "Please leave my kids. You can kill me or beat me but don't do
anything to them please."
Maxim didn't say anything and went toward Jack who was half unconscious.
"You wanted to be the leader right. Take that. But free my family from here." Jack mumbled with his
eyes closed.
"Dad leave them. I have got what I wanted. Hurting kids was never in our plan." Maxim spoke
Arnold rolled his eyes and said "oops I forget it. But now I can't stop them."
There was a chain attached to the small cage's door and further, it was connected to the bucket which
was hanging above.
The bucket was getting filled with the water and was slowly sinking which led to the opening of the door
of the cage.
The lions were hungry as Arnold didn't let anyone feed them for more than 3 days.
They are getting impatient with this wait and roared angrily, making kids scream.
One of the lions scratched the cage with his paw and bared his teeth in front of them.
"Pa. Save Mia." Mia sobbed looking at her father whose eyes were closed.
Arnold took some steps toward the cage and clapped his hand and said "Say bye to grandpa and your
father kids."
Maxim phone buzzed and he picked it up and said "Hello"
"I am in labor" his wife replied
"I am coming there." He replied
After cutting the call, he looked at the kids then at Jack and did what he thought was right.
The door of the cage was now just about to open in a few seconds. The kids pressed themselves to the
edge of the door.
Arnold was so excited to watch all these with his own eyes. Suddenly, he shouted loudly when he felt
pain.
He was shot on his back by none other Jack who was swaying on his feet. He shot on his father's chest
when he turned back.
He ran with all his strength and to open the door of the cage and to get his children out.
As soon as he opened the door, the lion came inside the cage with a roar but the kids were out of the
cage along with Jack.
He quickly locked the door and in this process got scratched by the claws of one lion.
He slumped down on the floor, hugging his kids, who were crying nonstop, close to his chest.
His vision fogged and he cried in agony when his back touched the wall.
The roughness of the wall scratched his wounds and the blood started to soak his clothes.
Jack looked at Maxim and gave him a nod. He nodded back at him and pointed his gun at Arnold and
again shot him.
Jack kissed his children's head and said "Shh. Don't cry"
He put the kids on the floor but they glued to his side because the lions were still growling.
He stood up after a few minutes of struggle. He winced in pain and slowly walked toward Anna.
He heard gunshots from the outside and took out his gun and pointed toward the direction.
But he stopped when he saw that it was Richard and his trusted men.
Jack bent down to his children's level and said "Go with your grandpa." Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
He hugged them tightly like he was saying goodbye to them and said "Pa loves you. Always remember
that."
With a last kiss, he let them go and watched as they ran toward Richard.
He watched them until they reached toward him and then he gave him a nod.
He walked toward Anna who was grateful that her children were safe.
Maxim and Richard followed him. But before the latter could reach toward Anna, Jack stopped him.
"Don't come here. Leave this building with the kids. There is a bomb here." Jack warned him with a
wavering voice.
"Please dad go. Jack, you leave too." Anna said in a sad voice.
"Go Richard," Jack said and with a nod, Richard left because he had to save kids.
He was going to lock kids in his car and then would come back to save his family.
"Remember till death do us part. I am not going to leave you." He said with a sigh.
An alarm rang in Maxim's phone and his eyes widened. He closed it and turned toward the couple.
"It's time to leave." He said and forwarded his hand to remove the chains.
"Stop. What are you doing? Do you want to kill my wife?" Jack growled.
Maxim rolled his eyes and with a key unlocked it and said "It was a fake bomb."
Both Anna and Jack were shocked. They couldn't believe that they had been tricked by Arnold again.
"Do you really think he would do something like this, which could harm him too." He added further
He removed Anna's chain and freed her. She stood up and sighed in relief.
"We have to leave. That bomb might be fake but the real-time bomb isn't. We have only five minutes."
Maxim informed them.
They were about to leave but stopped when they saw that Jack wasn't following them.
"Come on. Let's go. Why did you stop?" Anna asked him
"We haven't found Charlotte yet. I have to find her. Where is she, Maxim?" Jack asked him
"She is in the basement. But you couldn't free her. It would take more time." Maxim told him
Jack shook his head and said "I don't care"
He turned toward Anna and cupped her cheeks and said "You go and start your new life. Just
remember that I love you."
He kissed her softly maybe for the last time and poured all his emotions and feelings in it.
"I love you so much that I wish to god that he will fulfill your wish." He said and left Anna.
Maxim whispered something in his ear and he nodded. With the last handshake, he left.
Leaving Anna bewildered.
