My New Twisted Life

Planning to avenge Mollie

Bruno turned and rolled the wheels to go inside the ward. Just then the doctor also came there and greeted him “Good evening Mr. Smith.”

“Good evening.”

They all went inside the ward. Mollie sat up on the bed when she heard the commotion. After checking her thoroughly, the doctor said “She is fine now and you can take her home.”

With that, the doctor turned around and left while Phillip followed him to complete the discharge procedure. 

Bruno brought Mollie to the ‘Alpine villa’ and arranged her stay in the guest room. Mollie sat down on the bed and lowering her head, she looked down at her hands placing on her lap. Bruno held her hands and said gently “You are safe here and don’t think about today’s incident anymore.”

“Thank you, Sir. I don’t know what would have happened if the police didn’t find me out on time.” She felt sour in her heart while saying this and didn’t lift her head as she feared that he could see tears in her eyes. She hated crying in front of others.

Bruno squeezed her hands and said “Don’t worry. No one can harm you now. Sleep…I have something to do.” He patted her head before coming out of her room and directly went to the study. He opened his laptop and started searching for information about Mr. Robinson. According to the reports, RB Builders was originally founded by his father-in-law Reece  Brown and after his marriage with Miss Brown, he became President of the company. Within a year of their marriage, Mr. Brown died due to a heart attack and Mr. Robinson took over the business completely. His wife’s death was also suspicious but there was no clue against him.

Bruno closed the laptop and sighed deeply while keeping his elbows on the handstand, intertwining his fingers. His expression was pensive. This man called Mr. Robinson was not easy to deal with and he surely had used evil ways to reach this position. Police didn’t get any clue against him which meant that this man was a vicious player and he might have connections with the higher officials. To bring him down he had to play like him.

Bruno’s eyebrows raised and a wicked smile appeared on his face. He picked up his phone from the table and dialed a number. This was a number of an informer. In his past life, he used to contact this person regularly. The call connected after a long ring and he heard loud music from the background followed by a man’s hoarse voice “He-llo…”

Bruno knew that that man always submerged himself in alcohol and beauties in the club and might be by this means he got the hidden information that no one could find out. Bruno’s lips hooked up with a smirk and he said calmly “I need detailed information of Mr. Robinson with proof and the price… whatever you say.”

“One million.” The man responded soon after Bruno finished speaking.

“Done. But when can I expect the result?”

“One week, max. But you must transfer the amount by tomorrow to my account.”

Bruno hummed and said, “I will transfer half of the amount right now and the remaining half when I get the information.”

The man didn’t make a sound and Bruno could hear only the loud music. After a long pause, he heard him saying “OK, I will message my account number to you.”

“No need for that. I already have.”

“Is that so? Do you know me?”

The man was a little shocked and looked at the phone only to see the ‘private number’ displaying on the screen. He frowned deeply in surprise. His customers’ numbers were unknown to him and he never intended to know who they were, but he never received a call that displayed ‘private number’. He guessed the person on the phone was a big shot. He placed the phone on his ear and he heard loud laughter followed by a deep cold voice “How stupid you are! If I don’t know you then how can I call you? Now get the information as soon as possible. I will call you back after one week.”

The call ended the moment he finished speaking. The man pulled out the phone from his ear and looked down at the screen again. While he was dazing, he got the message of half a million credit amount in his account. His eyes went wide as he couldn’t believe to get the money so soon.    

  ……

Two days later while Bruno was busy working in his study, Phillip came there and passed a file to him, saying “All the information about Mollie is here in this file.” Bruno took the file and started studying it meticulously. Phillip continued saying “I am shocked to know that she is actually an illegitimate daughter of Mr. Brandon Carter. Back then, Mrs. Taylor used to work in a bar where Mr. Carter was a regular customer. I met her close friend who also worked there and according to her, Mrs. Taylor had one night stand with Mr. Carter at his bachelorette party and she got pregnant but he never acknowledged Mollie as his daughter. He used to provide financial help to them until Mollie was sixteen years old but suddenly he stopped giving money to them and sorry to say that I couldn’t find out the reason.”

Bruno stopped flipping the pages and closing the file, he threw it down on the table. He looked up at Phillip and asked “And what is the connection between Mr. Carter and Mr. Robinson?”

“That…” Phillip cleared his throat before continuing speaking “Mr. Carter wants a contract for a big project that Mr. Robinson is going to start. It is a resident…”

“Contract?” This word caught Bruno’s attention and repeated it. Phillip stopped talking abruptly and looked at him curiously. He heard his boss saying “So it is all because of a contract.” Bruno’s expression darkened and his fists were tightly clenched on his thigh, as he understood everything clearly.

Phillip said again “I think so. That day when I went to meet Mrs. Taylor in the hospital, I saw Mr. Carter there talking to Miss Taylor. They both looked very angry, but when I asked about it, she didn’t reveal anything.”

Bruno cast a complex look at him for a while and pulled back his gaze after recalling something. He remembered the day Mollie was kidnapped, when he asked her if she had any enmity with anyone, then how drastically the color of her face changed. After hearing everything from Phillip, he came to the conclusion that Mollie was threatened by Brandon and she might have known something like this would happen to her. How mean and cunning was that man called Brandon Carter? His anger intensified and gnashing his teeth, he squeezed out these words “How long will it take to destroy Mr. Carter’s business completely?”

“What?” Phillip was puzzled and looked at him dubiously.

“How long will it take for ‘Smith Groups’ to acquire Mr. Carter’s company?”

Bruno’s sulky gaze pricked Phillip’s body and he stepped back a little in fear. His boss liked to expand the business and because of his hard work ‘Smith Groups’ had become one of the top ten business empires of the entire ‘A’ county, but he never showed interest in acquiring or destroying other companies. This was the first time he was hearing something so atrocious from his mouth. Just as he was hesitating how to reply to him, he heard his cold angry voice again “Why are you not speaking? Is ‘Smith Groups’ not capable to acquire any company?”

Phillip was caught off guard and he stuttered “No… I- I mean…is it ne-necessary to do this?”

“What do you mean?” Bruno snapped instantly. He was so angry that his eyes turned blood red. “That man has sold out Mollie to Mr. Robinson to get a contract and you have sympathy for him.”

Phillip shook his head twice and tried to explain “I-I didn’t mean that. I was …”

“I want to see Carter company be bankrupted. Do you hear me?”

“I understand. I will work on that. Give me two months’ time.”

After saying this, Phillip ran out of the room. He couldn’t stand anymore under that scorching gaze. His boss used to be serious and cold but he didn’t know when he had become a tyrant. If he stayed in the study for a little longer then his boss might have thrown something on him out of anger and he might have got injured. He heaved a long sigh after coming out of the study but he almost ran into Mollie. He halted his steps and looked at her in surprise.

Mollie was also shocked to see him running out of the study with a pale face and she asked, “Is everything fine Mr. Russel?”

Phillip didn’t answer her as if he didn’t hear her at all. His gaze then landed on the coffee cup that she was holding and he asked “Are you going to the study?”

Mollie smiled and replied “Yes. I want to give him coffee. He might be tired, right?”

Phillip laughed awkwardly and said “It’s better to stay away from him right now. I suggest you to no go inside for a while.”

He strode away from there the moment he finished speaking. Mollie stared at his back for a moment before turning her head to look at the closed door of the study, completely astonished. She was also aware of his anger, so she didn’t dare to go inside. Turning around, she walked back to the kitchen.
