When Fate Leads

Chapter 4

When he entered everyone was on their feet. UmarFarouq wanted to start screaming and yelling insults on who ever was responsible for such incompetence but his temper seemed to be in check. He proceeded to his desk, he sat on the chair: slowly, he removed his two pistols from his gun hostler and placed them on the table before him.

"Irrfan" UmarFarouq began "how is it that I have the daughter of a nobody on my island?"

"Sir?" Irrfan needed more to comprehend what UmarFarouq meant.

Now UmarFarouq's patient was been tested, still he cared to offer more
"I asked for the director's daughter, the woman you took wasn't her"

The room fell into a gloom, every one in the room knew UmarFarouq's intolerance towards incompetence and this was the peak of all incompetences: the fact that UmarFarouq wasn't raging fire at that moment only told them that he was so mad to react.

Irrfan turned to look at one of his men, he had no idea where the mistake came from.

"UmarFarouq I have no idea how this occurred" Irrfan apologized "who took her?" He asked his men with unhinged sternness and the person who was in charged of the kidnapping stood out.

"I used the information from one of my contacts and took her from her home" he said ruefully "the information must have been wrong. UmarFarouq I am sorry for the mistake"

"Mistake?" UmarFarouq who had been surprisingly calm since roared, he could be heard from the hall "you call this a mistake? I have an innocent woman on my Island. My name is being dragged into the mud for narcotics and the asset I need to be cleared is still out there: still, you dare make a mistake?" He stood from his desk and went to the man in question.

He looked at him, a disdain look
"Choice of your incompetence do not interest me" he told him "....but I will hate for you to disappear, only to be found by the police two days later, dead and mutilated" The man shivered and UmarFarouq knew his massage has been received, he continued "Get me my asset before noon, the location of a new safe house will be communicated to you, keep her there. I need not tell you, it's not everyday you get a second chance from me. Today is your lucky day my friend"

"Thank you" the man muttered his thanks, he was still trembling with fear. Today was definitely his lucky day, normally UmarFarouq would have his brains lying on the office floor by now.

"Anyone knows who the woman here is?" UmarFarouq asked and the question was referred to the whole party. No one did.

"This might help" the man who brought her in said as he removed a folded paper from his pocket, he handed it to UmarFarouq "I took it with her from her house"

UmarFarouq opened the paper, he hissed
"A divorce note?" He said between clenched "Oh! Ok. Now that I have her divorce note, all my problems are solved" he said and the sarcasm in his voice was not missed "You," he said to the man "Do you by any chance have a death wish? Please tell me you do, I will be quick to grant your wish"

"No Sir, I don't" the man answered stupidly.

"Get out of here and the next time I see you, you better have my asset" he warned "Everyone dismiss".

UmarFarouq was left alone in his office, Using an adjoining door, he walked into his study. The paper was still in his hand, he read it
