Kill for Love

Chapter 48 - All For The Name Of Love

He is happy. Things are exactly running according to his plan. If this will continue, he will be having Cytherea all by himself. He can’t help but imagine a life together with Cytherea.

She will be living with him in his mansion and their home will be filled with the laughter of their kids.

A smile slowly forming on his lips. He can’t wait for that to happen but he knows that good things come to those who wait and work hard for the things that they want. And that’s exactly what he is doing.

‘I’ll wait till you’ll be mine, My Love,’ he whispered as he was looking at Cytherea’s picture frame. He leaned his back on the backrest of his swivel chair while still holding the frame. He caressed the picture as if he was in front of Cytherea. He wished that one day he will be able to do it to her personally.

He is near to her not but at the same time too far. He cannot reveal himself or else Cytherea will definitely stay away from him and worse he will end up in jail. He sighed.

Things will get better soon.

He put the frame on top of his table and reached out to the folder. He opened it. There were documents and pictures in it about Carlos Matthias. He smirked. Carlos is not a good person like how he was seen by his co-workers. He had plenty of skeletons in his closet.

He saw the pictures of Carlos’ ex-girlfriend and all of them were full of bruises but no police reports.

“Hmmm, it seemed that these women received a lump sum of money for them not to push a case against him,” he said to himself. He stared at Carlos’ picture. Carlos was smiling widely at the picture that no one could actually suspect he is an awful person.

“Are you planning something for My Cytherea?” he asked while still staring intently at the picture like he was talking to him in person. “Are you trying to hurt her too as you did to your other women? Well, whatever you’re planning, I will never let you succeed,” he whispered. His forehead creased as his blood started to boil.

No one can even try to hurt her queen!

He stopped reading Carlos’ files when suddenly, he heard a knock from his door. After three knocks, his loyal butler, Nim entered. He bowed first before walking towards him. He closed the folder and put it aside.

“Sir, I have already taken care of what you have requested. Carlos is already in the abandoned warehouse by the lake,” Nim announced, still wearing his poker face. “And there’s no need for you to worry, I had made sure that I was not caught in the camera. Every footage has already been deleted.”

“Hmmm, that’s good. Did you make sure that no one will find him there? I don’t want any teenagers to find him there. And even if that’s a private property for sure some wild kids will still try to trespass the place,” he said while putting Cytherea’s picture frame in his hidden compartment in his drawer.

“Yes, sir. I made sure that no one will see him there. And even if there are trespassers, no one will see him. He is in the underground basement.”

He looked at Nim intently and smiled evilly.

“Good.”

Satisfied with Nim’s work. He stood up and took his black leather jacket that was neatly placed on top of his office table and wore it.

“Are you sure about this?” Nim couldn’t help but ask. He knows his master’s plan and he doesn’t want him to see his master in that state again.

His master looked at him and with a determined look, he smiled again.

“I know you are worried that I may break down again but don’t worry about it. I made up my mind that I will go to protect Cytherea at all cost and if I need to do something unworldly, then I will. No one should treat my Cytherea that way.”

“But, Sir--”

“Nim, what he did to Cytherea is unacceptable. He can’t just approach Cytherea and made her uncomfortable just like that. Have you read the documents that you gave me? He is a bad person, Nim. He will not approach Cytherea if he doesn’t have any plan for her. He was smitten by her! I have to do something before he hurts Cytherea. I don’t want her to end up being those women who were bruised but didn’t even have the courage to report it to the police,” he said angrily. He was breathing so hard. Just thinking about what would happen to Cytherea once she got into a relationship with Carlos, made him out of breath. It feels like his heart is squeezed. "I'm not going to sit back and relax and wait for that time to happen. I will do something before he can even be closer to her," he added.

"If that's what you wish, Sir. I will always back you up," Nim humbly said and bowed again.

"Thanks, Nim. Now take me to that person. I want to meet him," he commanded and went towards the door.

"Yes, Sir," Nim answered and immediately went towards the door so he could open it for his master.

Without looking back, the man went out of his office. They went to his garage where all of his expensive cars are. Nim readied his white truck. He will be going to a swap and riding an expensive car will only bring attention.

Nim opened the shotgun door for him which he went in immediately before going to the driver's seat and starting the car. Not too long, they arrived at the abandoned warehouse. Nim was about to get out when his master raised his hand to stop him.

"No need. Stay here and I will go by myself. I will call you if I need you there."
