His to Ruin.

Chapter 21 (The Rescue 2)

Andrew’s POV

I feel no form of regret or shame. As a matter of fact, I am glad with the way things are going. The orb in my possession, Jacqueline here with me, and Drey on his way to meet his perfectly planned out death. The son of Mr Anderson kills the only son of Samuel Dankworth Mcmiller. What a lovely headline.

Not long after I received a call.

“Boss, a guy named Drey says he got something for you”

“Let him in”. This made me smile so wide, like a kid who just got an adult to promise a bicycle.

“Let the fun begin”.

I went into the control center, where I could easily see what was going on, in and out of my villa. I know Drey is smart but I never knew he could be so dumb too. I could see every action he had taken but I did not react yet. Daniella was on the run so I called my men to handle it.

Watching Drey fall brought joy to my heart, but I just hope he doesn't die like that, I need to be the one to do it.

The fun is over, so I told the others to take care of the bomb that had been planted by Drey before time runs out. After that, I went to the room where Drey lay on the floor on the verge of almost dying. I picked him up and called for an expert to stop the excess blood loss, I did not care about the wounds but I wanted him to be alive for a little longer to torture so I could put an end to him myself. At this point, he was tied to a chair and I sat across waiting for him to regain consciousness.

It is an hour later and Drey finally decides to open his eyes and I'm glad the first thing he gazed his eyes upon was me.

“I thought you brought the Orb along? Why isn't it here?”

“Andrew I swear it's in the car” I could not help but laugh at his lame excuse.

“Ohh please you already know where the orb is. There is no need for you to put on an act. Speaking of an act. Jacqueline turns out to be a freaking great actress and definitely when I’m done, maybe just maybe she might be rewarded”.

Drey’s POV

I woke up with so much pain in my head, although I noticed my head was neatly bandaged, I was forced to sit and listen to Andrew’s sickening words. He turned my chair around to face the other side of the wall which was plain white, then he set up a projector and turned off the lights.

I'm quite confused as to what he plans to do, but I didn't make a fuss, I didn't try to set myself free or fight.

He turned on the projector and the image I saw pierced a sword through my heart, my chest felt tight and my fist was clenched firmly. I used all my strength to breakthrough but it was worthless. Andrew laughed loudly, which magnified my hatred for him. I was armless and hopeless, I couldn't even look at the video that Andrew displayed in front of me. I have let Jacqueline down, I failed in protecting her from him.

“Poor Drey, you are not even looking”

“Why? Why did you do this to her? If you claimed to have loved her you wouldn't put her through this” I asked Andrew

“Well, you can clearly see I wanted some fun. I do love her don't get me wrong, but I just had to. She betrayed me, told me you are just a friend, and look at what you guys are now uhn. But I’m a very good person doing you a favour. You won't have to worry about her anymore, you won't have to worry about anyone eventually because your time is up. Imagine the headline The son of Mr Anderson has successfully taken down the son of Mcmiller..”, he got interrupted by the sound of his phone’s ringtone and then walked out of the room. He left the video playing. I mustered enough courage to look up to see and I saw Jacqueline's face of pain, hurt and acceptance before her face became stone cold staring into a blank space, looking like she zoned out from reality. I couldn't watch it anymore so I dropped my head down in defeat.

After a while, Luke came in with the key to the chains I was tied in and he freed me. I was so grateful but I did not have time to process how he got the key. I quickly asked if he knew where Jacqueline was held hostage and he nodded “Daniella told me where she is”

“Daniella!?”

“Yes Daniella”, he said

“That was the same thing she did and it landed me in chains Luke”

“I don't know what you are saying but she was the one who gave me this key to free you, she's waiting for us there anyway, let's go. It's now or never”. Then he quickly left the room with me following him behind.

On getting there, as Luke said earlier, Daniella was at the door but I will definitely deal with her later. I stared sternly at her with so much hate but she avoided my gaze.

Luke handed me a gun, then we both stepped into the room, but Andrew was one step ahead. He held Jacqueline at gunpoint using her as his shield, threatening us to lower our weapons, and if we didn't he would pull the trigger.

I had to quickly come up with something but my mind was blank.

“Andrew please let her go, you don't have a problem with her but with me. You have my family heirloom in your possession already, what more do you want?”

He laughed at my words, the laughter I dreaded the most. “Well you are right on one thing, I have a huge problem with you. First, your family tries to suppress mine, then you take my girlfriend away from me, knowing fully well she is mine..”

“She is no one’s property, she owns her own life and can do whatever she wants to do with it. She is not yours and was never yours Andrew”. As I said this I was cautiously taking a step closer, not towards him but to my right side and Luke did the same, This made it easy for Daniella to enter the room without suspicion.

“Hey! If you take another step, I'll pull this trigger”, Andrew boldly states.

“Andrew please let me go”, Jacqueline said after, pleading for her release.

“Let you go? That's definitely not an option, you ruined me Jacqueline. Now you are mine to ruin”. After Andrew’s response to Jacqueline I was about to risk it all, but Daniella, snuck up on him and hit him with a small flower vase, which startled him and made him drop his gun, then she kicked it far away from him, but that did not have much effect on him.

Jacqueline was able to escape him but now he is on the verge of killing his own sister, but before I could step in, Andrew brought out his knife and stabbed her side, not once not twice but multiple times. I didn't want anyone to be dead but Luke never understood why I didn't use my gun. The sight in front of him made him shoot Andrew with no hesitation, so I rushed to Daniella to see if I could apply pressure to her sides to stop the bleeding but it didn't work. Luckily my father’s men came in after surrounding the premises, then I urged them to take Daniella to the closest hospital.
