Another day passed, and Xander was dressed in his business attire. Today, he was going to meet with his lawyers and business partners. He felt that Octavio was a fool to think he would pressure him. Xander smirked. "What a fool, and I had enough of his bullshit. I am going to end him once and for all."
He combed his hair nicely, and his thoughts traced back to Madelyn. He felt excited and victorious that she would finally sign the papers to become his official wife. She had no other choice. If Madelyn refused, then innocent people would die. It was cruel, true, but he never cared about others to Xander. He felt that Madelyn made him this way since she rejected him. Xander felt bitter about that day; he felt betrayed, humiliated, and hurt that she didn't accept him.
Xander still wondered why she didn't accept him. Well, it didn't matter anymore. He did what he felt that needed to be done. The young man wanted to be happy with a family; he never had one with his parents. Xander thought he would be a great father to his son and teach him to be a respectable man. His thoughts were interrupted when there was a knock on the door. One of his guards opened the door.
"Sir, the car is ready, and everyone awaits your arrival."
"Good, I'll be down at the moment." Xander looked at his reflection; he was ready for the meeting. "Those fools will regret the day they decided against me." Xander wanted to visit Madelyn, but it was still early morning, and he knew she would not be in a good mood. He also didn't want to be in a bad mood because of her. No, after his meeting, she will sign the papers once and for all.
Madelyn would become his.
Xander went downstairs as many of his guards stood. "Some of you will come with me, while the rest of you will keep guard. Make sure that Madelyn behaves, and if anything happens, call."
All the guards nodded as they all went to their stations. Xander went to his SUV and was driven away towards his destination. However, unknown to him and his guards, they were watched from afar.
"As I thought, guards would be stationed on the property. He is quite vigilant and cautious."
"He is not to be trifled with, but we both knew this would happen. Do you still want to do this? It could be dangerous."
"I'm sure. We must find Madelyn, and I want to get her out safely. I ensured my double would stall him as much as possible."
Sanders also stood as he was preparing his weapons. "I might as well retire with a bang. Are you ready, Octavio?"
Octavio let out a sigh. "Ready as I will ever be. Let's go get Madelyn."
Octavio and Sanders got to the property's gates and ensured they weren't seen by the guards who kept watch. Sanders decided to lead since he had more experience catching criminals and entering properties. Both men saw many guards walking around the property. "How will we get in?" asked Octavio.
"Patience, I'll see how many guards we're dealing with. Stay here and don't make a sound." The detective quietly went around the property and noticed many guards walking to many parts of the mansion. That was when he assumed there weren't as many guards as he thought. He also saw only two guards on the backside of the property. Sanders smirked as he went back to Octavio. "There are only two guards on the back of the property. Here." Sanders gave Octavio a cloth and a bottle of chloroform. "Are you sure you want to do this? There's a possibility that we could be harmed."
Octavio got a hold of the cloth and bottle. "I can handle myself, don't underestimate me. Let's go." He followed Sanders to the back of the property, where two guards talked to one another.
"Don't you think that our boss is a bit rough with his woman?" asked one of the men who looked to be in his late twenties.
"We can't judge or talk about it, especially before the boss. We can lose our jobs or worse. All I can tell you is that his woman is putting up a fight. He's been pressuring her to marry him."
Octavio and Sanders eyed one another. Octavio felt angry but proud. He was angry that Xanders tried to force Madelyn to marry him, but she fought for a while. Octavio felt relieved but knew he and Sanders were running out of time.
Then, Sanders got a rock and threw it between the men. The guards flinched and got out their weapons. "What the hell was that!?"
"Don't know, let's check it out." The guards slowly went to where the rock was thrown from. Some bushes covered parts of the gate, and the guards cautiously walked. One of the guards got a hold of parts of the bushes, slowly moving it to the side, trying to see if there was something.
"There's nothing."
The guards turned to return to their posts, but then they were pulled back to the gate; both lost their balance. Octavio and Sanders put one of their arms around the guards' necks and removed the chloroform cloth, putting it on the guards' mouths. The guards struggled to get out of the men's grips and tried to point their guns at them. However, the chloroform was very powerful from the black market.
The guards were out in a couple of minutes.
Octavio and Sander let the men down and took the opportunity to climb over the fence. Once on the other side, they approached the guards and took their clothing. They also got their weapons and walkie-talkies. "Where do you think we should go?" asked Octavio.
Sander got to one of the windows of the back of the mansion. To their luck, the window was opened. The detective entered, as did Octavio. They were in a small storage room with cleaning utensils, towels, and other bathroom materials. Sanders slowly opened the door and saw halls and other entries. "There are different rooms nearby. We have to move fast. The other guards will eventually find out about the other two."
The two men got out of the room and began to go to each room, one by one. All were empty. That was when Sanders knew that Madelyn was hidden upstairs. It would be not easy, but Sanders knew he and Octavio were in a life-and-death situation. The two men went forward, not knowing what was going to occur.
