Billionaire, Let's Divorce (Mark and Sydney)

Chapter 0265

"I can't tell you, please let me go. I will never come back again."

"I'll pay you double of what you were paid."

His eyes widened as he probably did the calculation in his head. "Double?"

"Triple."

I would not have been surprised if his eyes balls actually rolled out at that point.

Then he suddenly looked like he was going to cry. "I badly want to tell you but I don't know."

I frowned. "How were

you paids-

"I was paid in person but I don't know who the person is and-"

I shook my head, clearing it of the confused state he was fusing it into. "Wait, where did you meet with this person?"

He hesitated and he dared to narrow his eyes at me. "Will you still pay me?"

"And if I don't?"

"Then I won't tell," he whinged, "then I'd call the cops after you let me go."

If I hadn't just lost the love of my life, I would have took a minute or two to laugh at the boy's childishness.

"Very well then," I said slowly as I slipped my phone out of my pocket. "Let's call the cops."

His eyes bugged out but I paid no heed to it as I pretended to dial a number on my phone.

"When they get here, you can tell your side of the story and I'd also tell mine after I show them the footage of you breaking into my apartment." "Please don't! I'll take you there."

He took me to a run-down bar that a boy his age should not even dream of stepping foot in.

He stopped by the seat at the farthest end of the room. "We sat right here when we met and it was pretty dark"

I shook my head as I slowly took in the place. It then occured to me that he hadn't been specific with the gender. "A man or a woman?"

He swallowed. "A man."

I was thrown out of my thoughts as I pressed the button on the control for the gate to open for the third time but the gate still remain closed. With a frown, I looked down at the control and let out a loud hiss. I had been hitting the "lock" button all the while.

The gate opened and I drove in. I parked my car and dragged my tired body out of the car. Remembering those years back always wore me out, even more now that Ana was in the picture.

I headed straight to my home gym and worked out for half an hour, forcing every thought that involved her out of my head. After a quick shower, I ended up in my study to get some work done. Chapter 0265

As I blindly reached for a pen in my drawer, something fell off.

I reached down to pick it up. When I saw what it was, I froze.

I didn't even know I still had it. I thought as I picked it up and examined it, wondering if it was really the same flash drive. It was the very same, I was sure.

But I plugged it in my laptop anyway. The only file in the drive popped up on my screen. I tapped on it and a recording of me asking the boy questions as he confessed played.

Sighing, I stopped the recording and removed the flash drive before shoving it back in the drawer.

It hadn't been useful for the purpose I needed it for since I couldn't find Ana so I thought I misplaced it or threw it out years ago. What use would it be now?

Besides, it was just a mere recording. Any skeptical person could come to the conclusion that it could have been tweaked to my wants.

As I returned back to work, my mind drifted back to when I had picked her up and taken her to the hospital. She had tried to remain cool but I could tell it was just a front. She was panicking and scared.

The girl must have meant a lot to her, I ruminated then I remembered the faint "mommy' that the girl had muttered weakly when she turned in Ana's way.

I titled my head to the side. I hadn't given it much thought then but now I couldn't help but wonder if she was referring to Ana or the other lady.

I suddenly found myself wondering if she was in a relationship. What had changed about her life after all these years? What had she been up to?

In my peripheral vision, I saw my phone's screen light up before it started to vibrate.

I fully turned to it, ready to pick up but I stopped and stared blankly at the ID as the phone continued to

ring.
