Chapter 27 : Final Act

Luke throws his phone onto the sofa and screams frustratingly. His face is flushed red with anger. His daughter's kidnapper broke his promise and he still hasn't gotten Lea back in his arms. The drugs business runs mostly by Levi has also been ruined completely when the police invaded all of their warehouses.

His twin brother is very mad at him, for being stupid like always, as he said. Levi almost shot him with his gun earlier. If not because of their father, he would have been buried six feet under the ground. Now, he has to tell his father and Levi about the threat that the kidnapper gave him. All the evidences that were sent to him are enough to convict them for all the crimes that they have done.

Only God knows how many more evidences the kidnapper has on them. It makes him wonder about the person behind of this mess. Is it someone that he knows? It must be. If not, that person wouldn't know about the drugs business that their family owns. They have been very discreet about it and it is impossible for anybody that has no connection with them to know.

They have paid a lot of people too, to keep their mouths shut. One of them must have betrayed them to get more money. Luke hisses as he takes his phone to call his brother. "What?" Levi snaps at him once he answers the call.

"I need you to come over. Something has happened," Luke tells, running his fingers through his hair. He's sweating profusely out of fears. He is very scared now and he's starting to regret everything that he has done.

He hears Levi's heavy breathing as if he's trying to control himself from lashing out. "What is it this time, Luke? Aren't you satisfied that you already ruined the business now?!"

"He has all the proofs to convict us, Levi!" Luke yells at his twin brother, causing him to stay silent for a moment to process the news.

"W-what...?

"Lea's kidnapper, he said he has evidences to put us in jail. If we do not do what he wants, he'll spread them around to the police," Luke frowns.

Levi sighs, feeling done with all of this. "Who the hell is this guy, Luke? Is he one of our people?"

"I don't know, Levi. I tried asking our people to track the number, but they couldn't. Whoever this person is, he must be damn powerful and have a lot of support."

"I don't want to come over to your house. Or else I'll shoot you, Luke. I'm so mad right now. What does the kidnapper want?"

"He wants us to come to Centara Grand Bangkok Convention Centre at 8 p.m.," Luke replies.

"What? Is he hosting an event or something? I don't have time for shit like that. Right now, I have to deal with our people who have been arrested today. Just pray that they don't expose our asses to the police. I have to g-"

"Levi, wait!" Luke shouts, preventing his brother from hanging up the call. "Please come or else he'll kill Lea. And he has all the evidences, Levi. Please, I don't want to be in jail," he pleads.

Levi snorts. "How do you know he has the evidences? He might be bluffing and you're damn stupid to believe him."

"I'm sending the file to you now," Luke says and quickly searches for the file on his phone to send it to Levi. A minute later, he hears someone breaking a glass on the other side of the line.

Levi must have been really mad. "How the hell did he retrieve these?!"

"I don't know, Levi. Just come to the place mentioned with father. Father is a well-known man. Maybe he can offer the man some money so that they'll let us go. There's nothing money cannot do, right?"

"You're right. But I'm still angry at you. Don't let me lose my temper ever again. Understand?" Levi grunts in annoyance.

"I promise this is the last time that I bother you. After this, I'll be going away with Lea," Luke makes the decision on the spot, determined to run away from all the mess that is happening right now.
