Chapter 469: Chapter 469

"No it isn’t the girl. There is more to that. It is his wife Christina had been taken hostage by the royal family and he will do anything to get her back. he knows that to do that he needs men and power and so that is why he wouldn’t wasn’t to kill you because he knows that there will be those that will come for him. Instead of having more allies he will have more enemies and it would mean that instead of him getting closer to getting her back he would be pulled further away from her." Lillard explained to him.

Ronaldo couldn’t help but smirk at this new piece of information. Be had just learnt about Zach’s weakness and he could use his wife in order to get his revenge. He could already think of the various ways that he could go about punishing Zach as he chuckled lightly.

However Lillard could see the gears that were turning in his head and he was quick to shake his head as he went on to turn him down.

"I can see the swirls in your head turning and I know that you are thinking of using her in order to get back at him but you should know that it is no use." He said to him and her watched as he furrowed his brows in confusion.

"What do you mean. You just gave me a solution to all of my problems and a way for me to get my revenge." He said to him through gritted teeth.

"Well I am not going to allow you to do that and I am saying it for your own good because if Zach finds out he will come for you and he will not stop until he completely destroys you." He said to him in a warning tone.

He couldn’t help but feel angered by the fact that he was stopping him and he wondered why he seemed to be protecting Zach.

"Why are you so adamant about protecting him. Why aren’t you simply allowing me to get the upper hand of this. What is your problem." Ronaldo said to him in as hissing tone.

"Well the princess is gone and she left me in charge. She has told me to keep things civil between the families and to ensure that there is peace and to do this I can’t allow you. To start as battle with Zach. He currently had a very influential role in the economy and if by chance you were to upset him and cause him to rethink everything then you would be ensuring that the economy and everyone was tossed on its head. So if I were you I would be careful." Lillard said to him.

Ronaldo was quiet for a moment before a small smirk made its way onto his features. He knew better than to poke a sleep bear but there was another part of him that wanted to push him on harder to see how much he would be able to poke the bear before it retaliated and he ended up getting faces with more regrets.

"and if I do take my revenge on him what is going to happen. Tell me what you are going to do about it?" He asked him in a threatening tone.

He watched as he took a step closer to him and he decided not to back down. He didn’t want it to seem as though he was doing because hie was afraid of him. Nope it was far from it. He didn’t want him to feel as though he harbored fear. He wanted him to know that the last thing that he was, was scared.

"If you don’t then I am going to have to take action and do something that you spent going to like. The princess had. Left me in charge and therefore I have a duty to carry out by her and I am no going to allow that to be ruined by you so if I were you I would back down now. The fate of the economy is in my hands now and I am not going to allow it to fall apart. I am the one that id taking care of it and I am going to do my duty to ensure that I do so accordingly and so because of that I would say that I would be careful if I were you and I would better watch out." He said.

He couldn’t help but gulp at his words and even though he wanted to remain firm and act as though he was indifferent about it he knew that this was no time for him to pick up a fight and that he would simply have to stand down.

He watched as he let out a sigh before Ronaldo raised his hands in surrender and a slither of a smile made its way. Onto his features as well as a twinkle that was clear in his eye.

"Well then you have nothing to worry about because I am not here trying to cause trouble. I only want one thing from him and the moment that I have that then I will be gone and out of your hair. I don’t want to have any more issues with him or anyone else." He said and he watched as he hummed at him in response but he didn’t seem to be entirely convinced by hos words.

He watched instead as he folded his hands over his chest as he looked up towards him with a look of concern on his face.

"And so tell me then what is it that you want from him. Why are you here trying to learn more about him if you don’t mean any trouble by it." He asked him and he watched as he let out a sigh and crossed his fingers.

"I just want to have the opportunity to sleep with one of his girls that is all. I want to have a taste of his maid and then I will leave him alone and I won’t bother him again. You have my word."

Ronaldo said to him and his words did hold some ounce of truth, he did want to have a taste of the girl he didn’t know why she had been so lost in his mind that he found himself struggling to get her out. However he only held hope of the fact that once he was able to get a taste of her that it would all be over and that he would be able to move on and wouldn’t have to worry about him being tempted by her any further.

At least that was what he hoped and he would like to believe that it was a reality.

He knew that one thing was certain for sure and that was the fact that sooner rather than later he was going to have her and she wouldn’t have any choice. They could do it the easy way or the hard way not that he minded having to do things the hard way,

Brittany hadn’t been seen or heard of in a long while and Zach was starting to become worried.

He had held onto the hope that they would find her with in the first few days but as more time went by his hope began to dwindle down.

He didn’t know where she had gone or what could have happened to her but he knew that whatever it was it as nothing good.

he feared that the worst had occurred and he tried not to picture that Ronaldo had gotten to her.

However it had been over a week with no sign of her and the chances of her turning back up alive were slim.

He began to get frustrated with the fact that she was nowhere to be found and there was a part of him that blamed. Himself for what happened to her. He felt as though he should have tried harder to make sure that she was safe and if he had been looking out for her then maybe none of it would have happened.

He was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard the sound of a loud knock on his door. He cleared his throat before he heard the sound of the person on the other end walking in.

He looked up to see that it was Bruce and he couldn’t help but take in the grim look that was plastered on his face.

"What is it?" Zach asked him and he watched ad he gulped after a moment.

"This came in." Bruce said to him in a shaky voice and Zach watched as an envelope appeared from behind him.

Bruce slid it across the table before he placed it down in front of him. He let out a sigh from his lips before he took the envelope into his hands.

He wasn’t sure what was happening but one thing that he was certain about was the fact that there was something that wasn’t quite right.

He pulled open the envelope and he felt his blood run cold as he saw a strand of hair at the bottom of the envelope.

"What is this." Zach asked him and he watched as he tensed up before shaking his head at him.

"it’s Brittany." He said to him in a low whisper but it was loud enough that Zach was able to hear every word.

He stood up to his feet hurriedly before shaking his head form side to side abruptly.
