Welcome To My Hell - Chapter 164

Ermanno was heartbroken seeing his Rose in this state.

Zeeshan placed his hand on Ermanno’s shoulder and said “we’ll find her and that motherf.u.c.ker is going to go through hell”

“We were only just getting better. She was trying really hard. She is going through all of this because of me. Just cause I fell in love with her” said Ermanno looking down at his lap.

“It’s not your fault that you fell in love with her. You are not the one who hit her. Don’t blame yourself” said Lucifer.

“I have wronged her enough. Oh Mio Rosa” said Ermanno and was about to get up and leave when Elisio stoped him and said “grow a pair boy and don’t run away from being a man who needs to look for his love. Love which you always claim to do. If you expect us to find her for you while you sit in a corner and cry. Then, here is news for you. Lucifer would rather be with his wife and so, shall I. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere but next to my fiore right now. So, choose”

“Oh my god. Is this how fathers speak to their sons?” Asked Aman.

“No, they both are special. Literally, one of a kind” said Bruce.

Ermanno looked at Elisio and said “I am here”

“Good and let’s get this done without anymore drama” said Elisio and Lucifer laughed a little and shook his head.

“What?” Asked Elisio.

“You are mean and yes, I am saying that” said Lucifer.

Everyone got back to discussing the tape.

“Why is she agreeing to everything? What does he have on her?” Asked Aman, Lucifer’s right-hand man.

“Go back a little,” said Elisio looking at the tape intensely.

Ermanno didn’t want to see Rose in that state again, so Brad stepped in and stood beside his chair and said “I got this” and Ermanno nodded.

Brad went back few seconds in the video and Elisio told him to stop and play.

“She is saying something,” said Bruce.

“Play it again just slower,” said Lucifer.

Brad played the video again and everyone intensely looked at it to figure out what she was saying.

It was hard to read her lips which were bleeding and were swollen a little.

“Save.. please. Save who?” Asked Lucifer.

“Save Xavi, please,” said Elisio and looked at Lucifer and said, “Xavi is my grandson”.

“Where is he?” Asked Aman.

“Back home. He is fine” said Elisio.

“Rose thinks Xavi is with Harry. Rose doesn’t know mom risked her life to save Xavi. He is lying to her” said Ermanno.

Everyone sat down in silence for a minute and then Lucifer looked at Zeeshan and said: “what do you know till now?”

“My men contacted the local gangs in New York and no one has seen or come across this guy. He is nowhere to be found in the lower and cheaper side of the New York” said Zeeshan.

“He is not that rich that he may buy a house or apartment in New York,” said Joshua.

“I sent cops and some of our guards to look into his previous residence, but it was no use. There was someone else living there now and the place was cleaned up good” said Alena.

“I still have some of his doc.u.ments from back when I was collecting information about him. I looked into it but nothing stood out” said Katrina.

“Give those doc.u.ments to someone else to look into. They may find out what you may have missed. Give them to strawberry” said Alena.

Everyone looked at strawberry and Aman smiled and said: “your name is strawberry?”

Rock was standing beside strawberry and said: “no one eats you cause you a fruit?” And laughed.

“No one trips on you cause you are Rock?” said strawberry and Rock narrowed his eyes on strawberry.

Elisio looked at Ermanno and said “I know it will be hard for you but I want you to look at the video again and try to see anything which could hint us where she can be. Use your freaky OCD problem for good”

Ermanno looked at Elisio and nodded and told Brad to play the video again.

Everyone concentrated at the background and Joshua said “it looks like a bas.e.m.e.nt”

“A suburban bas.e.m.e.nt. Look at the washer and dryer in the corner”  said Ermanno and pointed out few more things which were commonly found in a suburban house.

“We can send men to search every house but it will take forever,” said Zeeshan.

“Any family, friends or employees who may help him. There is always someone who is helping from inside. Anyone stand out?” Asked Lucifer.

Alena and Joshua looked at eachother and Joshua said “Sabrina told me to do a background check on Lola. It was the night when Brad was hit and the attempt of robbery happened. Sabrina mentioned Lola was crying and discussing Ermanno’s happy life or something. Sabrina thought maybe Lola was just envious about Ermanno’s family. Oh yes, she also said that it looked like she was being forced to do something she didn’t want to.”

“Who is Lola?” Asked Aman.

“One of the nanny’s,” said, Alena.

“Why wasn’t I told about this?” Asked Elisio.

“It was the day of the robbery. After that night everything was chaotic.” Said Joshua.

“We did a background check on Lola and she didn’t lie on her resume. We even called the family she was the nanny for back in England and they confirmed she indeed was a good nanny. We didn’t have anything on her. She was clean. There is nothing that showed her link with anyone who we can doubt” said Joshua.

“Guess she is out the radar,” said Bruce.

“Well not actually. She seemed a bit strange lately like she was taking pictures of Xavier yesterday and even today while breakfast. I didn’t know why she took the pictures but I soon plan to steal her phone.” Said strawberry.

“That is strange. Keep a close eye on her and let me send some people to look into some neighbourhoods” said Zeeshan.

Lucifer looked at Ermanno and asked, “what’s going on in your mind?”

“He wants to kill her. That’s it. I don’t think he will wait too long to do that” said Ermanno.

“We have to hurry,” said Zeeshan.

“Spread the word who we are looking for. Put every single person on work. Search every corner of New York. We need to find her soon.” Said Lucifer.

“Send me his latest picture. I’ll send it everyone” said Zeeshan and Joshua nodded.

Everyone got to work and spread the word about finding Harry and Rose.

Strawberry kept an eye on Lola and tried to steal her phone but didn’t succeed.

Lola, Tara and Strawberry were having dinner together after putting the kids to sleep in the evening.

“It’s really sad that they still haven’t found Rose,” said Tara.

Strawberry waited for Lola’s reaction and said “they will find her soon. I heard Elisio sir has called in some mafia people. And those people are very dangerous. It’s for sure they will find Rose and the guy who took her. He is for sure going to die a horrible death”

Lola looked up at strawberry terrified.

Strawberry knew then and there Lola had a definite involvement in Rose’s kidnapping.

Lola left the kitchen and basically ran to her room and called Harry.

“Hello… Sorry, I know I shouldn’t have called but I came to know that they have involved some dangerous people to find you… I don’t know who they are… Okay, I’ll find out more about it… Harry I am scared. Let’s leave already, please… I love you too” said Lola and hung the phone.

Strawberry sent a message to the group chat Ermanno created informing everyone about Lola’s behaviour.

Strawberry received a message and nodded to herself.

She knocked on Lola’s half-open door and walked in her room and smiled wide and said “they found Rose’s location. They all are going in to get her and oh god I can’t wait to hear how they killed her kidnapper”.

Lola had lost all the colour of her face and was in the state of shock.

She didn’t understand what to do and stood in one place and looked away from strawberry.

Strawberry saw Lola’s phone on the desk and picked it up and put it in her pocket.

“Hey, you okay?” Asked strawberry.

“Y-Yes I am okay. Just a headache I guess” said Lola still not looking at strawberry.

“Well take rest. We’ll know what happened by tomorrow. Good night.” said strawberry and walked out of the room.

As soon as strawberry left Lola searched for her phone to call Harry. When she couldn’t find it she was frustrated and decided to go meet Harry personally.

She picked her car keys and ran to her car and left to meet Harry.

Max watched Lola leave and texted on the group chat that Lola had left and he had placed the tracker on her car.
