Title: He's caught.
~Nelson's pov~
I laughed and stood up. I cleaned the blood and walked out of the bar. Even staying hidden from the cops, i still managed to piss him off. I'm happy he could not recognize me. I saw this gorgeous girl walk into the bar with her friend, Isla. Not too long, Rowan came in with Zack. I've watched them for awhile and luck was on my side. I saw Isla left the bar and i used that to come close to Aubrey. I made Rowan jealous and he came after me. He was going to take more punches by the time i finish with him. I walk outside to see them kissing and that pissed me off. They still managed to kiss even when they fought. I bit my lips angrily and left. I walk back into the bar and called my men together.
~Rowan's pov~
I felt guilty after i saw her run off. I missed Aubrey, i missed her so much. I walk back to the bar and told Zack that i was done with the drink. I didn't wait for him to talk me out of it after I took my keys and angrily left him. I walked into my car and drove off.
My next agenda was to find this man called Nelson. Then my phone rang. I picked it up immediately.
Me: 'Any news?' I asked.
Caller: 'Yes. Nelson Clifford. He's a known mafia lord, a very dangerous man. The police has been trailing after his crimes but he always uses a way to outsmart people. Sir, why do you want him?'
Me:'Get the police in search of him. He's presently in Chicago'
Caller: 'Yes, sir'

~Nelson's pov~
I cleaned off the blood stains from my knuckles with a smirk. "Well. That is for keeping me in suspense." I turned to whimpering man on his seat. " Take him away" I ordered. My phone rang and one of my men handed it to me.
Me: 'Good news'
Caller:'Sir. It's set. He drove through the same route like you said'
Me: 'My instincts never lies. I'm coming'
I grabbed my gun and started walking away but stopped to look at my men. "Prepare to go to the border now. I won't be going with you because i have a very important business to deal with."
"Yes sir." They said in unison and dispersed away.
~Rowan's pov~
I looked and saw the cops out with their guns. They waved me down and i stopped.
"Come down."
"What do you mea.." They opened the car and dragged me out.
"Leave me alone" I struggled but a punch landed on my cheek. I fell down, they dragged me up and hit me again, and again. I pushed out blood from my mouth. "Boss. This is him" I looked up as my sight was blurrily searching for his face. He hit me again, and i fainted.
I opened my eyes wearily and i was still on the floor, unable to move. I moved my arm to my pocket and searched for my phone, and slowly removed it from my pocket and dialed Zack's number.
His face, i could not see his face. I was angry. If i had seen his face, i would not have been this angry, he would be in trouble for ever laying his filthy hands on me.
I heard a car drove close and the closing of a car was heard. Zack ran to me and helped me up. "They hit you hard seriously"
"Did you see their faces?" I was dragged into his car, then he went through the other side and drove off.
"I wish I did"
"You should really be careful. You don't know your enemies."
"I know my enemies. Remember the man who raped Anna"
"Yes. "
"My p.I found something. The man is Nelson Clifford"
"What?"

~Aubrey's pov~
The next morning, i dressed up to my mom's coffee shop. I've never gone there for months now and i needed to. Being alone at home has become very boring for me.
"Good morning,,ma'am" The workers greeted when i entered. Mom has really done a great job in her shop. It never remained the same, i was impressed.
"Latte please"
I sat down on one of the booth. My eyes met a man reading a newspaper. He was so engrossed with the papers in his hand. "Hello, pretty" I looked up to see a guy, not just a guy but the guy that Rowan gave several punches yesternight. He drew out a chair opposite me and sat down. The bruises were showing on his face but not noticeable.
"Hey"
"You come here too?" He asked and laughed. I followed on with his fake laugh. "Yes. This is my first though"
"Ah he mm. I'm sorry for what my husband did to your face yesterday. He's really hot tempered"
"Oh that?, it's fine. He was protecting his woman."
"I'm Hayden Smith" He pushes out his hand for a handshake. "Aubrey Adams" I took his handshake with a smile. "Any kids yet?" He asked.
"Why do you ask?" I asked suspiciously.
His phone rang immediately.
He shifted away.
Me:'Hi.'
Me:'I'll come later'
"Pretty, I'll see you later. Bye" I smiled lightly and watch him leave. I took my coffee and sipped from it, that was when my eyes landed on the wallet on the table.
I looked around and took the wallet. I opened it and saw the I.D placed beside it.
Ken Adam.
11\07\1989
I saw a family picture, a man holding a woman's hand with a three year old in front of them. I put it into my pocket and dropped the wallet back on the table in its previous position.
"Ma'am Aubrey, do you want something else?" A waiter asked me.
"No. I don't want anything" I told her. She left and as i stood up to leave, Hayden walked inside. He came close with a smile. "You're back. I was about leaving though"
"I left my wallet behind" He laughs and took it. "Okay, I'll get going" He disappeared out of the door.
.......
"Thank God, you came"
"Where's he?" I asked. Zack led me into the room where Rowan laid. He was lying down with a bandage round his head, he had a small cut by the side of his lip.
"Rowan"
"Yes, Riry" I roll my eyes. "I came because he asked me to"
I pointed at Zack. "Thank you, Zack"
"Anytime, bruh" He said and left.
"Riry, I'm sorry"
"You're always apologizing. You know i would never do such to you, yet you believed him "
I sniff in and looked away. I didn't want him to see me cry anymore.
"I'm very sorry, Riry. I'm a very bad person. " He said.
"You're very bad. You've hurt me. I overlooked every other thing, even if you call me a gold digger, I'll overlook it but for a cheater, gosh that is too much. I would never cheat on you. I'm a virgin, and I'll never cheat on you." I cried.
"Come on. Don't cry baby. I'm so sorry. I'm sincerely sorry, i promise I'll never do it again. I promise."
He spread his arms open and asks me to hug him. I hesisted for awhile and nodded before running into his arms.
"I love you, Riry"
"I love you."
"You're the best thing that has ever happened to me, I'm such a jerk"
"You're a jerk. I know" He chuckled.
"When i was a child, my half brother and i usually fight a lot. Ken would call me a jerk"
"You have a brother?"
"Yes. My mom always call him the illegitimate son. He and his troublesome mother would come and make trouble at home"
"Where are they now?" I asked.
"I don't know. At a time, we stopped seeing them at our house, maybe they stopped making troubles." He replies nonchantly.
"What's his name again?"
"Ken"
"Ken Adams, 11\07\1989"
"I don't understand."
"He bears the name of that man at the bar yesterday."
"You talked with the man?"
"Yes. He came by my mother's shop and left his wallet behind. Well, i didn't feel good about him after he told me his name was Hayden Smith. Curiosity got the better part of me as i opened his wallet and saw this." I gave him the picture i took from the wallet.
"This is my dad."
"He is?."
