Insatiable

Chapter 21

Demetrius' POV

"Wait? I am not waiting for anything! We are going right now to find my wife and I will not wait a second longer." Alexander continued to delay, one procedure after another, if we weren't such good friends I would have already stormed out of that room, ignoring his professional advice.

"Dem you have no idea what you are getting into, if indeed Sophia is in the warehouse, I have no doubt that Fabio has guards lined up on every square inch of that perimeter, ordered to shoot any intruder that even enters the compound, especially you." I sighed, sitting back down, my original plan to break straight into the warehouse had completely dissolved.

"What do you suggest we do?" I asked.

As always Alexander already had a plan ready. "I think it will work to our advantage if we first of all survey the warehouse, just so we're familiar with the building, then we can move on from there." I shook my head at the plan, we didn't have time to analyse the building, although I knew the warehouse like the back of my hand, Alexander still felt it necessary for him to be knowledgeable of his surroundings.

"Sophia is with a psychopath Alexander, we are working on borrowed time, the longer we spend here the greater danger she's in."

"Dem-"

"I know you're just doing your job but please, I know the warehouse very well and I can talk you guys through the building."

I stared desperately at Alexander, I couldn't spend another minute in this house, my wife needs me and I was going to find her. "You really love her, don't you?"

I didn't hesitate for a second. "More than anything."

Alexander smiled, glad to finally see the day that I confessed my love to somebody other than my family. "I could tell and I don't know if you've noticed, but this is the first time you've ever said please to me." I laughed thinking about all the times I had ordered and shouted at Alexander, he was a true friend for sticking with me for so long.

"You were a real dickhead back then."

"You can say that again." I chuckled.

Sophia's POV

I searched my head multiple times to see if OFR held any significance to me, it didn't. I had no idea what the abbreviation stood for and the more I pestered Casper about it, the closer he looked to shooting me.

"Can you at least give me a hint as to what it stands for?" I asked hopefully.

"No." Casper wasn't even looking at me anymore, his attention seemed to be focused primarily on the door that Fabio had just left through. He seemed to be waiting, but for what?

"Earth to Casper, what's so fascinating about that door?" I asked staring at it, it looked like any regular door, only more security efficient.

"Let's just say it holds a lot of unanswered questions." Casper stared at me for the first time, an emotionless smile on his face, he appeared to be in deep thought.

"You're scaring me now, what is this so called 'secret' and what does OFR have to do with it?"

"Your husband is alive and he is coming to rescue you, that excites you doesn't it? It gives you hope that your days with Fabio are numbered."

Instead of the smile that wanted to grace my face at Casper's uplifting words I found myself frowning. "You sound so bitter, like the thought of my husband freeing me disgusts you."

"Because it does, you don't know your husband, you never knew your husband, but don't worry about that you'll know him a lot more soon enough." He stared at me, long and hard, expressionless and mysterious. I couldn't match his stare. I was so confused, why was Casper suddenly acting so hostile towards the mere thought of Demetrius? Did the two know each other in the past?
