Carlos POV:

"Miss Perkins, the only thing I hate in people is lying... It's just horrible when one human lies to another, really sucks... Don't you think so?" I asked curiously while gazing at the fragile girl shivering like a deer.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5ows7wxnb
"Ye... Yes, Mr. Mancini," she stammered.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXvO7uI5Rk
"Good... Very good. So, I think you would be a good one and tell me where Antony Miller is."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDDCBLktyB
"Mr. Mancini... I don't know... I swear I really don't know where Mr. Miller is... He rushed out of the office just five minutes ago without saying a word," the little secretary of Miller's pleaded

. I bet she saw the handgun poking out of Charlie's coat pocket.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MFE6Qyzkk
I maintained my usual stony face which never fails to give an impression of authority and glanced at Charlie standing next to me.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FP9K5lU2Z
He lightly shook his head in response to my non-verbal question, 'if the rascal left the premises?'
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZJg0T1cfs
Well, we had employed our men to keep an eye on the Millers after her runaway, and I'm sure the coward sensed our arrival and left the office to hide in his secret room beneath the office.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP7p6bD8Ud
I looked around the room casually to find a camera on the left corner facing my direction. A devilish smile dangled on my face.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKO4O9MB2H
"Okay, Miss, thanks for your attention. I have come here to discuss something very important with Mr. Miller... But unfortunately, he left the premises. But I think it's best to discuss it with Mrs. Miller as she could give an accurate reply. Just inform him I paid a visit here."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf425cikAc
"Sure, Mr. Mancini," she said politely.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcOPyJoe0P
"Charlie, call our men and ask them to be here within five minutes... We need to make a little visit to my future wife's house."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhR2AwX45C
I bet Antony would be here within no time after hearing the whole conversation I made intentionally.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB3RXb4Lhe
Elly Miller, his current wife, Isabelle's stepmom, is the only person he loves blindly after his spoiled daughter. It's said that he was first married to a British woman someone called Anny... the actual mother of Isabelle. After a long ten years of relationship, she divorced him and left for some other country. It's pretty sure Elly had a remarkable role in the whole divorce thing.

"Yes, boss." He took out the smartphone and dialed Arthur's number and placed it on his left ear.

The lift door opened swiftly, revealing a short, bald-headed man in a grey suit, who is to be my future in-law, Antony Miller.

Here's the paragraph with corrected grammar:

"Thank God, I thought I would have missed you, Carlos," he said dramatically with a smile plastered.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3RI2xUOaR
"Oh, Mr. Miller, it's a pleasant surprise... I thought you would be far from the office." Well, two can play the game.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHJL6uo10d
Honestly, I hate the whole Millers just like Isabelle, but I can't express it in front of the public, especially in their office.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdyjnpyHzB
"Yes, I was about to attend an emergency meeting but cancelled it due to many reasons..." He lied through his teeth.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VQYT0zmDh
"Oh, actually I have got something important to discuss with you. If you don't mind, let's have a seat somewhere in your office." I can't beat the shit out of this prick when we're under surveillance.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7hVpB4MGZ
"Sure, Miss Perkins, cancel all my appointments after noon and don't let anyone in unless it's a pure emergency," he said professionally, to which she replied with a yes. Soon the secretary left the floor, leaving me, Charlie, and Antony alone.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE2MsKDy8n
"Carlos, don't create a scene over here... I beg you. Let's get to my private room," he whispered without any facial expression.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBFSBY575w
"Sure, Antony," I said with a broad smile, showing my white teeth.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIekn3cz2GF
He ushered us to his private room and opened the door for us.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg78VNqdJrp
"You first," I said briefly.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrMYpzl6QB
He did as I said and walked towards the olive-colored sofa matching with the light green walls.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjBtO0SIaM
Charlie and I entered the room simply. He bolted the door and stood in his position.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GQJza5Jl2
"So, Antony, I think it's just a waste of our valuable time to beat around the bush. Where is your daughter?" I said while making myself comfortable on the couch.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOaIoUXmhs
"Listen, Carlos, I really don't get what you are talking about... Wasn't she living with you for the past four months?" He said without letting the rage of annoyance show.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4f2ckjVbA
"Really? But for your kind information, Antony, your daughter, that means my future wife, had never spent a whole day or night with our family. Mostly she is with her newfound boyfriends, clubbing, partying, and f***ing like crazy animals," I said calmly.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2dH00wvC9
I don't give a damn if the bitch sleeps around like a whore with multiple men. The marriage is purely to keep up with our ancestors' promise and for business gains.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu2zk8sm98
"Carlos! Don't try to make false allegations about my daughter. She is an innocent soul... Maybe she has many male friends and has good relations with them but don't interpret them as something gross," he was fuming with anger. Like I said, he blindly trusts his daughter and wife like a gullible one.

I could sense Charlie at the door side have already loaded his gun and pointed it to his head with no emotion, making Antony shrill in fear.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAtN1qT0vf
"No, Charlie, not yet. I need him to walk her down the aisle..." I fixed my gaze on Antony and stood simply.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G9BTnrhYi
"Carlos, I don't know anything about her runaway plan... Trust me." I let out a devilish laugh and moved forward.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NZoJXZBdS
"Trust you is the last thing I want to do with you, Antony... Now tell me where you have hidden your daughter and her little boyfriend."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r8KNXkeye
"I told you I don't know!!" In a swift move, I took out my pistol from the waistband and pulled it up to his chin.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQLTwAsm4a
"You have got some nerve to speak back to me like that, Mr. Miller..." I whispered darkly and applied pressure.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwShSYUsJx1
"Carlos... Please... I don't know where exactly she is... Monday she came home and asked us to help her or she would commit suicide... Elly and I arranged a private jet for her to Russia... I don't know who accompanies her or where she is actually now."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWY5QbRcWO
"B*****d! Spill the whole truth... I don't mind if my Bride is fatherless." Hell, it's my long-term wish to kill him with my own hands.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQbvYnT8Yn
"No, no, no... Please don't-"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lghM8QRIf
"Shut up, you punk! You shouldn't have made a damned proposal six months back if you weren't ready for all these s***s. Your filthy daughter has spewed a bunch of lies in the media about me!!" I roared lividly while taking heavy breaths.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaIh9qKrVe
"Boss... There is an update." Charlie came close and said coldly. I closed my eyes and removed the gun and placed it in my breast pocket.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICIEx8y7B8
"What's it."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHRPyzAFWa
"Our men have found where Miss Miller is." Both Miller and I snapped our heads to his direction.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpEd3g7dkA
"What?" Antony exclaimed.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4sBZgJZQQ
"Where? Where is she?" I asked spontaneously.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NqBJHqr4r
"Norway... She was in a shopping mall with an elderly lady this morning. We had a speculation that they might make a visit to Norway as Mr. Drake had purchased a villa in the country last year."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VTzXyfq3H
"Did the media recognize her?"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwq9CmSexA
"No, boss, it's rather impossible as she is completely disguised like a normal girl... To be more precise, like another version of Miss Miller," he said after checking the latest update loaded on the tablet from our team.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEgsnmfUmB
"Damn! Why didn't they catch and bring her back?" I was furious.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjrOa8vIir
"Sorry, boss, but it's too risky to approach her in the public square, especially with the lady... It's said the lady was bold and a bit bossy with the staff so if we make a move they might have created a scene and gained the media attention." I listened carefully and nodded my head, shifting our gaze to Antony who was in pure shock.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO0OL8KJ8k
"Miller, what kind of explanation do you have for this? Why is she there? Is she intentionally roaming around to get media attention? And who is the lady with her?"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid8e6yzjGw
He just stared at me blankly for a minute and spoke up with excitement and happiness.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziCZjzYh2x
"Oh, oh my... Carlos, I can answer everything but... but give me some time," he asked enthusiastically, making me frown.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qlWhkdZp6
Why did his mood change from fear and anxiety to confidence and courage?
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROghbLo42h
"Antony... Tell me who the lady is," I asked dangerously, making him let out a nervous smile.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP0d6Q02Ih
"Umm, a servant... A servant of hers... Isabelle has left the country to chill out before the engagement... Maybe she had Drake with her for company, don't get them wrong, Carlos... Umm, she-"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuBTCBH3bk
"I don't know what the hell you are blabbing, Antony, and I don't care! I need your daughter Isabelle Grace Miller by Wednesday and that's final!"
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBP2vRPz8E
"You can trust me."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvcLjMnnie
"I already answered that, Mr. Miller... Coming Saturday we will conduct the initial ceremony and I need her beside me like a good girl and decline all allegations she made against me and the ones against her... if not the whole Millers would be sent to a better place with my own hands." I was rather fascinated to speak my wish.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsET3pWirb
"She will be there at your mansion by Wednesday," he assured with confidence.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IMEfMVSlc
A wave of confidence gained since he heard the latest news. There is something the Millers are planning behind our backs... But right now, I don't mind what trick they use, I need her by my side on the initial ceremony day.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Wr3BIh9QN
"Fine," I said simply and turned. Charlie walked forward, grabbed the handlebar, and pulled the door for me. I strode and reached the door side.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0oYaND7gX
Before stepping out of the door, I once again turned back to see a relieved Antony.
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKfyv03WXq
"Oh, and forget to say, Antony, if you want to see your daughter's boyfriend in one piece, never let him step foot in the country."
268Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcTXLfBVbs
With that, I left the room and strolled to the left area followed by Charlie.
