Since I Found You
Taken

“Come, Mykola,” invite Vlad, shortly after putting down the new mobile phone he used to contact Karl Volkov.

“Did Karl Volkov ask for something in return?” ask Mykola.

“No. Karl only agreed to give help. In two hours, he and his men will be here. However, I was thinking if we should move before the man came. There are many things that can be done within two hours.” Vlad stood up gallantly, then stepped out of his study.

At that time, Vlad wore a prosthetic leg made of curved titanium iron. There was a special gap in the prosthetic leg earlier, which was used to store the dagger blade. Such a special prosthetic leg Vlad can use to fight as well as defend himself.

Mykola followed the master from behind. The second step of the handsome man had stopped in front of the surveillance room. Just as Vlad was about to hold the doorknob, a man opened the door wide with a tense look.

The man seemed to gasp, when he found the master who was standing before him. “Tu-lord,” said the man stammered.

“Is there a problem?” ask Vlad. His instincts were sharp, as if he could smell something wrong.

“All surveillance cameras don't work, Sir. All the monitor screen was dead,” was clearly Vlad's men with pale faces.

“Damn it!” vlad's wrath while clenching his hands. “Mykola! Tell everyone to comb through every corner of the mansion. I'll find Altea!” her word.

Vlad immediately ran towards the other side of the mansion building. He went straight to the room, because his future wife was known to be resting there. A moment ago, Altea had complained of being tired and wanted to rest for a while.

“Altea!” call Vlad while he goes into the room. His feelings were more and more unsettled, when he found no one there. Even his big bed still looked neat.

“Altea!” Once again Vlad called out the name of his future wife while turning around. He ran as fast as lightning down the hallway. Vlad checked each room one by one. The man hopes to find a beautiful figure who has captured his heart and love. But Altea is nowhere.

In fact, the beautiful brown-haired woman was busy chatting with Elke in the labyrinth garden. The other side of Altea that could not remain still, could not disappear completely. He continued to hold Vlad's mother while telling her many things.

Meanwhile, Elke was just listening quietly. Occasionally the middle-aged woman responded to Altea's words with a crisp laugh. Elke was so engrossed in listening to all the stories and jokes of his future son-in-law.

“Are you tired, Mistress?” altea asked as he looked at the sweat droplets dripping from Elke's forehead. “We return to the mansion only. You can't be too tired."

“I'm fine, son. I haven't breathed outside air in a long time. All this time, I just spent time inside the house,” rejected Elke gently.

“Alright, then. You wait here. I'll take the wheelchair you left in the hallway earlier." Altea led Elke to a small park bench. It's in the labyrinth hallway. The chair seemed to blend with the walls of the plant that was formed in such a way.

Elke nodded with a smile. He continued to notice Altea's slender body, until the young woman disappeared behind the two-meter-high plant wall. However, the uncomfortable feeling began to be present, when he was alone in the place.

Fortunately, Altea did not leave him there for too long. After a while, Altea had returned while pushing the wheelchair. “Sit, Mistress.” Patently, she sat her future father-in-law in a wheelchair. He intends to spin the wheelchair to continue activities down the labyrinth aisle.

Just a few steps away from the passageway earlier, Altea suddenly stood frozen. He saw a tall man standing in his way. The burly body of the man seemed to fill the passageway which was only one and a half meters wide. Somehow, the man who has always been Altea's nightmare can get in there.

“Good afternoon, Mistress,” greet the man who is none other than Ludwig Stegen. He was very polite to Elke.

“A-you?” Elke's hair bristles. He still remembers the man who met him at Sieseby.

“I told you that I will always be able to find you, Perle. You won't be able to escape.” Ludwig smirked a little. His cold and flat expression, frightened Altea's body.

“Go!” expel Altea. “In a few more days I will marry my master!”

“Benarka?" Ludwig's handsome face looked so surprised. “You're getting married?” hissing slowly.

“Ya!” Altea raised his chin. He wanted to show Ludwig that he could no longer be arranged at will, by the cold-faced beautiful man.

“Unfortunately, you won't be able to marry anyone. You know why? Because you are mine. For now or forever, you are mine.” A pair of Ludwig's eyes glinted at Altea.

“Stop, Sir! You can't just walk into someone's house without your permission. You can't take Altea anywhere either. She is my daughter-in-law!” sergeant Elke.

Hearing the sentence of the middle-aged woman before him, Ludwig only smiled a faint smile. “All is up to Miss Altea. If Altea loves you, then she will volunteer to come with me. However, if not ...” Ludwig deliberately did not continue his words, along with one hand reaching behind his waist.

A semi-automatic pistol, clasped in Ludwig's right hand. He pointed the firearm at Elke's head.

“Stop, Ludwig! What are you doing?” altea shouted as he advanced while stretching out his hands. He uses the body as a shield. Now the muzzle of the gun is stuck on his forehead. “Don't hurt Madame Elke! Please,” pinta Altea down.

“If you don't want me to hurt her ...” Ludwig's words were paused. For a moment, he tilted his head in order to look directly at the pale-looking Elka. “You should come with me right now,” Ludwig continued.

Altea realized that he had no choice but to obey Ludwig. He was forced to nod his head in resignation, as the man grabbed his wrist and prepared to take him away.

“Altea, don't follow him!” Elke did not despair of preventing his future son-in-law from leaving. He tried to stand up from his chair.

“Mrs!" Altea turned around. While shedding tears, Altea helped Elke who was already standing. “I'll be fine, Madam. Tell your son that I love him very much. He is the only man I have in my heart, though ..”

Uncompleted Altea spoke, Ludwig had already pulled him roughly first.

“How dare you!" ludwig's wrath while dragging Altea by force. As fast as lightning, he took the woman to a deeper area. At the very back end of the labyrinth, there were quite a few people waiting for them. The men bowed respectfully to Ludwig who was still holding Altea's hand.

Those guys were wearing chef uniforms. In their uniform, there was the name of a catering company that Altea knew had been hired by Vlad for his wedding party.

“You?” Altea stared in disbelief.

“They're my men. It seems very easy to get in here. They just need to go undercover." Ludwig laughed softly before pulling Altea's hand. He forced the poor woman through the walls of the labyrinth that had been hollowed out. The two passed through a wall made of plants, until they arrived behind it. Altea was astonished to see a large diameter iron fence that had also been hollowed out.

Outside the iron fence, there is a small road that can only be passed by one vehicle. Ludwig took Altea across the small road, then took Vlad's future wife across the field by the side of the road. They continued walking until they arrived at the field.

A helicopter was already there in a ready-to-fly position. The helicopter waited for Ludwig and Altea to climb into the cabin, before flying high into the sky across the afternoon of St. Petersburg.
