Yes, leverage, was what Daniel worked with. When you have shit on someone, it was amazing the many things you could have them do and since his stupid son Marcel wasn’t letting the girl go, he would make her leave him. Problem solved.

He refused to have Arianna Valeria as a daughter-in-law. That would be over his dead body. Just like Marcel, his father Daniel was good at bearing grudges and he had promised to get back at the Valeria for what they did to him and he intended to keep that promise.

So when his assistant announced, “We’re here,” Daniel stepped out from his majestically, taking a lungful of fresh air. He looked around his environment and when he couldn’t sense any threat, stared at the small villa in front of him.

The gate was locked, but that wasn’t a problem for him. When Daniel wanted something, no one could lock him out. His assistant moved ahead of him to pull at the gate only for them to sight a commotion. The occupants of the house were running towards them as if their house was on fire.

Daniel stood at the spot, his brows raised and staring at them with an amused yet calculated gaze. What the hell was going on? He was sure his assistant didn’t announce his visit to them, nor was he expecting a grand welcome, Daniel thought.

“Quick, open the gate!” shouted the man whom Daniel recognized as the girl’s uncle, and the younger daughter who was already far ahead of them unlocked the gate and came to stop at his feet, breathing heavily.

Daniel’s brows only arch further up in surprise, he never thought someone would bow at his feet someday. Quite an intriguing welcome, he would say. However, as entertaining as the situation had been, Daniel knew deep down that something was not right.

Those people were not running to welcome him, they were running from something, or someone else and he sure as hell was going to know.

.....

“What is going on here?” Daniel asked, offering them a kind look and of course, the whole family was deceived by it.

“Someone is trying to kill us,” Claudia announced.

Claudia’s mother was breathing heavily when she said, “That bitch Natalie has lost her mind.”

Daniel froze.

Perhaps he has become extra sensitive to anyone bearing the name, ‘Natalie’, but Daniel’s head quickly wiped around in the direction of the woman as he asked her eagerly, “What did you just say?”

“Huh?” Claudia’s mother looked at him in confusion. Now that she thought about it, who was he? She hasn’t seen the face around. Wait a minute, could they be the ones Natalie said were waiting for her?

Great fear gripped Claudia’s mother and her face lost all color, it seemed as if they just went from frying pan to fire.

“Who are you?” Raymond went ahead to ask the strangers, wondering where they came from.

However, his wife was the first to bow her face to the ground at the man’s feet and began to beg him, “Please have mercy on us, we didn’t do anything to your mistress. Natalie is safe and sound.” She went ahead to plead on but Daniel was far gone in his thoughts.

Confusion hit Daniel hard in the head like a Mack truck. What were the chances that the Natalie they were talking about was the same Natalie he was thinking about?

He’d say fifty percent.

Natalie was Arianna’s mother and Arianna once lived with these people. However, what wasn’t possible is the fact that these people believed that Natalie was alive and had come back to attack them. Daniel would have said that this was a product of their imagination, but that raw fear in their eyes was real and couldn’t be invoked by a ghost. And ghosts don’t exist.

But he had seen Natalie die right in front of him, she’d shot herself and fallen right into that river. Suddenly it hit him, her body was never found. What if the reason her body was never found is that she’d been alive all this while? Hope ignited inside of Daniel and he didn’t wait around to depend on the hypothesis. He would find out the truth by himself.

“Boss!”

“Sir!”

Everyone shouted after Daniel who ran into the house as if his life depended on it.

Meanwhile...

Natalie woke up groggily. Her head was pounding and she felt disoriented. Where was she? And then it hit her? She had come to know about Edward and her daughter and things had kind of escalated. Jesus Christ! How long had she been out?!

Although her entire muscles protested at the effort, Natalie stubbornly pushed herself to her feet and felt vertigo take over her. She leaned against the side of the conch with her eyes closed, waiting for the dizziness to pass away.

Feeling better Natalie picked up her gun and hid it in her waistband just as she heard her phone ringing once again and walked over to where her purse sat, pulling out her phone.

It was Jason calling and Natalie didn’t need a God to tell her to pick this time.

“Hello?” She breathed raggedly.

“What the fuck is going on in there?!” Jason cursed as soon as she picked up and she tried to explain to him her situation, but he didn’t let her speak a word as he informed her.

“You are in deep shit this time Natalie! Get the fuck out of there this minute! Daniel is headed your way! Don’t come out front! Take the back -”

There was a noise from the outside causing her head to whip in that direction, and she disconnected the call at once.

Shit! Daniel was coming for her!

Natalie grabbed her purse and took to her heels just as she saw a shadow out of the corner of her eyes .

She was in big trouble this time.
