CRUEL INTENTIONS

Chapter 19

Aziel stood in his office and tapped his fingers in a rhythm while thinking about what his men said. Lucius was seeing that girl... Why? Was he in love with her? He knew Lucius was not a man to mess with but if he was involved with that girl. He definitely knew something about his nephew. Worst he was perhaps involved in it.

Aziel clenched his jaw thinking about how Lucius behaved as if he was worried for his nephew at the party and this whole time he was seeing that girl. "Bastard" He muttered under his breath and stood up pacing back and forth.

"Sir" A voice was heard close to the door making him stop.

"What!" He hissed looking up at his right hand man.

"We found out that about her parents. Their house caught fire and they died there. No one knows how it started" The man replied gulping nervously.

"I see...What else?" Aziel asked raising an eyebrow sensing Lucius was behind it.

"The house she's living in was also bought by Mr Walker and her studies were paid by him as well" The man replied.

Aziel raised his eyebrows in surprise. Lucius seems quite generous towards this girl. Paying her studies and giving her a house? That was not something Lucius would do for anyone. He may have done charity work and invested in good cause but doing that for a girl just like that.. Hmm no. There was something else to it.

He paced back and forth deep in thoughts trying to put the pieces together. "The girl's parents... How were they?" He asked his right hand man.

"They were good people though it seems the neighbours did hear the girl scream and cry sometimes. Some of them had a doubt she was being abused or mistreated but there was no concrete proof about it " The man stated. That's it! Now Aziel understood... Lucius was the one who set the house on fire and killed her parents... And there was only one possible explanation to it... He liked that girl.

"Mr Walker is quite fond of the girl I presume" Aziel stated the obvious.

"Yes... It seems Mr Walker also gifted her a car as well and she received multiple credit cards from him" The man replied. Now that's interesting. Could Lucius really love that girl? Lucius was ruthless, cold and practical. He was the last person Aziel ever thought would fall in love.

"Very well... Albert, Keep observing her and Lucius as well for me. I need to be certain of what he feels for that girl" Aziel said to which Albert nodded.

"Also Albert, check the cameras of the parking lot on the night of Mr Roger's party" Aziel ordered. He had find it strange to see Lucius there. He found it even more suspicious when Lucius left soon after the girl. Something was going on between these two.

"Alright sir, I'll send you the footage in a few hours" Albert replied before leaving quietly.

As soon as Albert left. Aziel pulled out his cigar and lit it up. He then stared outside the window looking deep in thoughts. "If you are involved in my nephew's disappearance Lucius Walker. I swear to God I'll kill you" He spat to himself.

His nephew was like a son to him. His sister's child... He was the one who practically raised Alexander after his parents' tragic death in a car accident. He offered the young boy everything he needed and cared for him deeply. His disappearance had destroyed him and he knew deep down.. His nephew was perhaps dead.

Still Aziel held onto a glimpse of hope that Alexander was perhaps somewhere out there but if indeed Lucius was in love with that girl. There would only be one possible explanation. He had done something to Alexander. Because of her.

The thought of it made his jaw clench. He would definitely get his answers one way or another. He threw his cigar away and walked out of his office in anger. He then quickly left the building and started his car. He drove at full speed while gripping the steering wheel tightly. His mind racing with theories about what possibly happened to his nephew. No one messed with his blood. Not without consequences.

Hours later

Aziel took a sip from his glass of whiskey and stared at all the information he had on Carvida Gray and Lucius walker. He was deep in thoughts when his phone vibrated on the table. He quickly unlocked it and stared with raised eyebrows at the footage of Lucius and Carvida kissing in the parking lot.

Aziel was right. Lucius was in love with that girl! He threw his phone away and stood up burning with rage. He had to find the last piece of the puzzle now. He had to discover what Lucius or her exactly did to his nephew. And he knew perfectly how to do it... He smirked content with the plan he had in mind. He would wait... Wait for them to be so lost in each other that they would not see him attack and then he would strike. Harder than ever.
