With the Gang Leader

Chapter 36

36.Her intuitive avers to escape.

It is good essence and softness in deeds that can cause a change of heart, from vicious to vivacious.

Scrutinizing what all he did to Rayne, on the orders of Freddy, Caden couldn't help himself but repay Rayne with most of all.

Without further ado he had thought to apprise Alec about every conspiracy which indulged Rayne.

Caden stood on the nook of the room, in front of the entrance. He seemingly was scared to face madness that was about to break.

As soon as Caden uttered the words that be might know where Rayne is, Alec's blood seem to boil. Alec fist clinched and clutched so tight that no air molecules inside the fist could escape. His veins started to protrude.

"You bastard!" With that Alec approached Caden. He grabbed Caden by collar and gave him a tight one on the cheek. Needless to mention, it would've pained hard.

Caden behooved all the pain and gulped it down his throat. Only guilt was evident in his eyes.

Not more than a niche in time had passed when the hell broke loose. Alec pounced a number of punches and kicks on Caden. It was only when Amanda and Ian stopped Alec. He took a breath then and retreated.

"Stop Alec!" Amanda and Ian yelled in unison.

Ian tried to pull Alec back. When he succeeded, Amanda yelled,"Caden is here to help us. Right Caden?"

Caden nodded an unspoken 'Yes'.

Amanda noticed his sore nodding from the beating he had procured and offered,"Sit down, Caden. I'll bring you water."

Caden obliged her command and sat down on the couch. Still hesitating to face Alec and Ian, he fixed his gaze down.

"Where is she?" Ian asked.

"Frekstone. Near Frekstone rather. Maybe."

Amanda came with a glass of water and an ice pack and handed it to Caden. He immediately drank as if the universal solvent could dissolve his pain.

"What do you mean by 'Maybe'?" Alec questioned, narrowing his eyes to see if he could catch lie.

"I am not sure. V- She-uh..." Caden was at loss of framing a sentence because he knew that the truth will only make everyone mad.

"Spit it out!" Ian jolted.

"Vince is going to marry her."

"What?", the expression came out of Alec's mouth as soon as he processed. It was nothing he had expected. With shock, he could feel his heart becoming heavy.

"He's lying!" Ian screamed. "Rayne would never marry Freddy's son."

"She agreed to this."

Again, Alec blood boiled. No matter how much he wanted to believe that Caden is lying, his mind told him otherwise. Infuriated with the fact that Rayne could ever do that, he again held Caden's collar.

"Why would she agree? You all would've blackmailed her." Alec averred, shoving Caden back.

"It was Freddy. He came down to a deal with Rayne. "

"What deal?" Amanda's query could only make her feel guilty. Little did she know about it.

"That he would let you go home safely if Rayne married his son."

"That can't be true?"

"It is. How else he could've let you go?"

"Oh my God! This is all my fault." Amanda realised.

"It's not your fault, Amanda. Just calm down." Ian consoled while grabbing a nice position to put his arm around her shoulder.

"Why are you telling us all this? You work for Freddy." Alec asked.

"Rayne is so soft at heart. She willingly gave herself to Freddy so that he couldn't take Ally. I love Ally and I've been forced to do all this because Freddy blackmailed me. He said he would take away my love. "Caden sighed and his heart fluttered as he mentioned his love.

Everyone in the room had their beloved ones near them accept Alec. He felt alienated.

"Rayne tried to make a deal with me. She agreed that she would go with Freddy if I let go Amanda but it was too late for that. Freddy had already taken Amanda. He freed her just because Rayne agreed on the marriage. " Caden apprise them all. It was high time they start to trust Caden but Alec was having second thoughts.

"How do I know that you're not making stories?" Alec asked.

"I can't prove it right now. You'll have to believe me. For Rayne. Please you're the only ones who can stop the marriage. Vince- If he marries her. He'll screw her. I think Freddy is pulling this up to get back on James."

"James won't give two shits about this. He despises Rayne." Ian clocked in.

"Exactly! And when Freddy will get no reaction from James, he will be angry and Rayne. I don't know what will he do to her. I know Vince; Rayne deserves better, much better." Caden casted off, his explanation cutting down their time.

"Caden will take us to Freddy's place. We can't waste more time." Amanda put a hand on Alec's shoulder whilst he nodded.

With that, they set on to get her back.

Right on the other end of the thread,
Vince showed Rayne the whole house. She put her misery and poignancy to one side and followed in with him.

Finally, Vince dragged her through the long hallway and stopped in front of a door. The door was unlike any other on the mansion. It was more vibrant than the rest.

"This is our room." Vince opened the door revealing an enthralling sight but that didn't convene Rayne's mind one bit.

All she could think about was: Alec. Various pessimistic thoughts entwined her mind. She knew she won't be able to escape now. It was now, she realised how deeply she loved him.

Even though, they have not been in conversation with each other that often, she thought she had known him better than anyone else.

"Babe?" Vince brought her out of her trance.

"What?" She asked.

"How do you like the room?"

"It's good."

"Just good? You'll be making this room your entire world when you marry me, tomorrow." He smirked.

"To-tomorrow?" She stuttered.

"Yes. Now we don't have much time left." He uttered. "Jane! Jane!" He called. Suddenly, a woman in her late twenties came running with lots of white dresses in her hand. She looked petite and pretty much unable to handle the load of the dresses.

"Ah good! Babe, you can choose any dress for our wedding. Jane will help you. I am going out. " Vince left. He had absolutely no sensitivity.

"Which one, Ma'am?" Jane asked spreading all the dresses on the king sized bed.

"Pick anyone you like. I'll wear that and don't call me Ma'am. It's Rayne." Rayne didn't even spare one glance at the dresses.

She glanced out of the large window in the room and thought of escaping crossed her mind.

She didn't want to marry Vince at any cost. Now.
