Happy reading ......

*********************

Rery's private residence

“Mom”

Anthony was with his mother in his room.

“Hem?” Sahut Madelaine gently while smiling at his only son and Rery.

“Is there something you don’t understand, My lovely boy? (Is there anything you still don't understand, my dear Son? )” Madelaine asked Anthony, because he was teaching Anthony some lessons because Anthony's personal teacher couldn't come today.

“I already understand everything that you taught me (I've understood everything Mom taught me )”

Madelaine gently stroked Anthony's head still with a smile to the son.

“Then what do you want to ask me? (What do you want to ask me? )”

“Why do we have to go from here? I like to be here (Why do we have to get out of here? I'm happy to stay here )”

Again – again Madelaine rubbed dear Anthony's head with a smile.

“There is something that me and your Dad can’t explain to you this time (There are things your father and I cannot explain to you at this time )”

“Because I still a little boy? (Because I'm a child? )”

“Kind of (Kira – thought so )”

“So you and Daddy will tell me if I already be a man? (So Mom and Dad will tell me when I'm a grown man? )”

“Smart (Smart )”

Anthony showed me his smile.

“Okay, Mommy!”

Madelaine smiled at her cheerful son.

“You should not just to be a man, but also responsible man (You should not just be a man, but also be a responsible man )”

“A man with his words, right? (The man holding the word – said, right? )” Timpal Anthony.

“Right! ( Right! )” Sahut Madelaine enthusiast.

“Okay, Mommy!”

“Also smart! (Smart too! )”

“I will, Mommy! (Surely, Mommy! )”

“And for that ..... ( And for that ).”

Bang out!

“Oh my God! (Oh my God! )”

Madelaine heard clearly the sound of an eruption from outside.

“Is that sound of a gun, Mom? (What's a gunshot, Mom? )”

Anthony asked the mother who spontaneously hugged him when she heard the sound of gunshots coming from the direction

their private residence.

“Anth..”

Madelaine takes Anthony away from the window, then into the bathroom.

“Listen to Mommy, Anth .... (Hear Mommy, Anth ) ..”

“Yes, Mommy...”.

Madelaine cupped her son's face gently and tried to smile, but a look of anxiety had enveloped Madelaine's pretty face. For some reason these few days he had such an unpleasant feeling in his heart.

“Mommy will see what happened outside. You don’t get out from here, if Mommy or Daddy don’t come here (Mommy will see what happens outside. You don't get out of here, if Mommy or Daddy don't come here )”

“Yes, Mommy ..” Anthony Sahut.

“Or if you hear any of you Uncle voice then you may come out ( Or if you hear the voice of your new uncles you can come out )” continued Madelaine. “Other from that, don't ever get out from here. Do you understand? (Besides, don't ever get out of here. Do you understand? )” He again makes sure.

“I understand, Mommy .... (I understand Mommy ... )”

“Mommy will leave you here now, huh? (Mommy's gonna leave you here right now, huh? )”

“Yes, Mommy .. (Yes, Mommy ) ..” Anthony nodded with a serious cute face, but there was also fear reading there.

“I love you Anth, Mom and Dad love you ... (Mom loves you Anth, Mom and Dad love you )”

“I love you and Dad too .... (I also love you and Dad )..”.

Madelaine who had positioned herself parallel to Anthony then stood up after talking quickly and hugged his only son a little long and deep.

“One more thing, Anth ...... (One more thing, Anth ) ...” Madelaine was about to add her message to the son.

“What is it, Mommy? (What is it, Mommy? )”

“If, you heard me screaming or Daddy, then you hear a sound of a gun, get out from here through that window (

If, you hear me or Daddy yelling and then you hear the gunshot, get out of here through that window )”

Madelaine pointed to a window in Anthony's bathroom.

“Do you understand? (Do you understand? )” Madelaine make sure.

“Yes, Mommy ( Yes, Mommy )”

“Good. Now, lock the door (Good. Now, lock the door ) And be careful (And be careful – hatah ) I love

you..”

Madelaine had been standing outside the bathroom holding the door knob and had closed it shortly after

I just said to Anthony.

“I love you too, Mommy .

Anthony answered softly and nodded, then immediately locked the bathroom door after the Mommy closed it.

And Anthony hid behind a towel cabinet in the bathroom bending his legs. Wait until both parents or uncles knock on the bathroom door later.

Or if he hears a gunshot, and he has to try to get out of the window he's staring at.

“Look Jaeden, just leave (Go Jaeden )”

“You heard what Rery said, just leave (You heard what Rery said, go )”

It was Haig who spoke and advanced one step before Jaeden after he had previously coded Clarence and Yann to bring Rery into the residence.

Jaeden grinned looking at Haig, then he chuckled cynically.

Jaeden swung his legs back, but his body remained facing forward. He soon got into his car.

Then ...

Bang out!

Gunshots were heard shortly after Jaeden turned his back and got into his car.

“HAIG!”

Rery, Clarence and Yann who heard the gunshots immediately turned towards where Jaeden was, and

haig collapses while holding his chest.

Then the simple sound of gunfire filled the grounds of Rery's private residence.

Clerence and Yann swiftly took out their weapons from the slip of their waists.

Forced to ignore Haig who was shot in the chest and immediately collapsed instantly to protect Rery and push him into the House.

“GET INSIDE RERY! SAVE MADELAINE AND ANTHONY! (IN RERY! SAVE MADELAINE AND ANTHONY! )”

Clarence said to Rery as he opened fire from his gun.

Rery moves quickly in with Yann who also opens fire from behind Clarence who is protecting him and Rery.

“Take Madelaine and Anthony, then three of you get out from backside! (Take Madelaine and Anthony, then you

three out the back door! ). Me and Clarence will hold them as long as we can! (Me and Clarence will hold them as much as we can )”

Rery nodded and immediately moved quickly to visit his wife and child who was in the

the son's room.

“RERY!”

Madelaine came in a hurry and panicked as Rery was about to climb up through the stairs to go to Anthony's room

immediately.

“Madeline! Take covers! ( Shelter! )”

Rery immediately grabbed Madelaine and subdued their bodies, anticipating an outside weapon attack that penetrated into the residence.

“Where’s Anth?! (Where is Anth?! )” Ask Rery quickly on Madelaine.

“I toold him to hide inside the bathroom (I told him to hide in the bathroom )” Madelaine replied in panic and fear.

“Let us get him! (Let's go get him! )”

But just as Rery was about to take Madelaine to the second floor to pick up Anthony, the sound of weapons was near the ears of the two of them. Making Rery and Madelaine spontaneously turn their heads and Clarence and Yann have collapsed like Haig after both of Rery's loyalists were strapped with gunfire.

“AKH!!!”

Madelaine spontaneously screams. She was shocked and frightened and wept, seeing her husband's two confidants who were also close to her and Anthony like family being slaughtered in front of her eyes.

While Rery looked sadly and hopelessly at the two confidants so loyal to him it had to lose their lives in front of him in such a terrible way.

****

“Love ...”.

Rery whispered in Madelaine's ear while hugging her.

“Don’t let him know about Anth .. (Don't let him know about Anth.. )” Bisik Rery again tightened his embrace on Madelaine whose body was already trembling. Madelaine who was already crying tears was nodding slowly at Rery who then kissed the head of Madelaine.

“I told you before My brother, that I refined to leave before you give me something that I want (I've told you before My brother, I know, if I refuse to leave before I get what I want )”

Jaeden entered Rery's residence after Rery's fortifications were fully neutralized. He smirked evilly at Rery who stood looking at him sharply while hugging Madelaine.

“Beautiful Madelaine, how are you?.... (Beautiful Madelaine, how are you? )”

“Don’t you ever dare! (Don't dare – dare! )” Rery said firmly while still staring intently at Jaeden

“I just want to say my greeting to my sister in law (I just want to say hello to my sister-in-law )”

Jaeden tilted his head at Madelaine with a grin.

“You don’t want to say Hi to me, Madelaine? (You don't want to greet me, Madelaine? )” Said Jaeden as if ignoring Rery.

But Madelaine whose body was covered by Rery did not say to Jaeden.

“Leave her! (Don't bother him! )” Rery warns.

“Hmm ..”

Jaeden then turned again to look at Rery and smiled obliquely.

“Take that woman! (Take the woman! )”

Jaeden exclaimed later. And two of his men immediately pulled Madelaine from behind Rery who then got resistance from Rery. But then the nape of Rery was hit with a gun handle by Yanni Aberto until Rery then fell on both knees.

“RERY!” Madelaine shouted to see her husband fall to his knees after he was forced to pull up a little

stay away from Rery who is not completely uprooted.

“LEAVE HER ALONE!! (DON'T DISTURB HIM!! )”

Rery yelled and tried to get up to grab Madelaine back but Yanni Aberto held her leg back,

until Rery has trouble standing up and is forced to see Jaeden pulling rough Madelaine from his man's grip.

“PUT YOUR HANDS OFF FROM ME! (KIND YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM ME! )” Madelaine also yells at Jaeden as she rebels to escape the man's hand. But Jaeden just grinned.

“Oh, Sweet Madelaine... (Cute Madelaine.. need not be rough apply )”.

“........”

“LET HER GO JAEDEN! (LEAVE HIM JAEDEN! )”

Rery shouted and now a very sharp piercing look at Jaeden who was holding both hands Madelaine bent to the back of the woman's body. But Rery also can not rise from his place, because his legs and hands are still held firmly by – people Jaeden.

“Give me what I want, and I let her go (Give me what I want, then I'll let her go ) Also let you go (Also

releasing you )” Jaeden said.

“No! Rery's! Don’t! He will still kill us if you give him what he wants! (No! Rery's! Nay! He will still

kill us if you give him what he wants! )”

“Hahaha! ..”

Jaeden's laughter boomed.

“Oh Sweet Madelaine, you really understand me.. (O dear Madelaine, you understand me so much.. )”

Jaeden turned Madelaine's body to face her.

“You supported to be my wife (You should be my wife )”

“JAEDEN!”

Rery who heard Jaeden's words immediately appeared furious in his helplessness.

CUH!

Madelaine spat on Jaeden's face without hesitation with a hateful look at the man. Jaeden then smiled, took a handkerchief in his suit pocket and wiped the face that Madelaine had spat on.

“Heh”

PLAKKK!!

“AKH!”

“MADELAINE!”

Madelaine screamed at Rery, who gave her name when Jaeden hit her face so hard she fell to the floor. Again – again Rery tried to escape but in vain – sia.

“You never change, huh? Very arrogant (You never change, huh? Very arrogant ) Just like few years ago when you refused and chose him! (Just like a few years ago when you rejected me and voted for him! )”

“Heh! And I blessed myself for that (And I thank myself for that )” Madelaine said with a ketus.

“Hahaha ..”

Once again Jaeden let go of his laughter. Madelaine seems to take advantage of the opportunity to get closer to Rery, but not until because Jaeden is hunting pulled her hair. “Akh!”

“MADELAINE!”

“Now give me what I want or I blow her head! (Now give me what I want or blow his head off! )”

Jaeden has shown his true face.

Madelaine shook her head at Rery who was staring heartlessly at her.

“You should let her go, if I give you what you want! (You should let him go, if I give you what you want! )” Pekik Rery. Jaeden grinning.

“Hm”

“No Rery!” Madelaine shakes her head at Rery. She tried to warn her husband.

“You’re a Smith, don’t you? (You're a Smith, aren't you? ). Smith’s men, are men with their words (Male of

smith's family, is the man holding the word – he said )”

“Then, give it to me the legal paper of Father’s will (And so, give me the official file of father's will )”

“You have to promise it first to let my wife go (You have to promise first to let my wife go ). I don’t care if you want to kill me, but let Madelaine go .. I will give Father’s will to you so you can change my name on it with your name (I don't care if you want to kill me, but let Madelaine go... I'll give you Dad's will so you can change my name and replace it with your name )”

Rery made an offer to Jaeden.  “Okay”

Jaeden also agreed.

“No! Rery, No!”

Madelaine tries to restrain Rery from doing what Jaeden wants with a compassionate look on her husband.

“LET ME GO! (LEAVE ME! )”

Madelaine desperately tried to break away from Jaeden despite having to feel the pain in his head as a result

violently releasing his head that was gripped by Jaeden.

Madelaine manages to remove her hair from Jaeden's grip and the man lets her approach the husband who was left standing after Jaeden codes Yanni and the man who held Rery back until the man has trouble moving.

“Don’t Rery! Don’t give what he wants love .. he won’t keep his words..... He’s a cunning man (Don't Rery!

Don't give her what she wants, she'll definitely disavow her words.. He's a sneaky guy )” Lirih Madelaine.

Rery smiled shadyly at Madelaine who had grabbed him to hold Rery open his safe.

“I will do everything to make you save, my love... (I'll do anything to keep you safe, my dear ) ..”

Rery said as he gently stroked Madelaine's head and then resumed to open the safe. "Also Anth (Also Anth )" He whispered.

The gun held by the –-man Jaeden leads directly on Rery and Madelaine.

“Let your husband prove his love to you, Sweet Madelaine ... (Let your husband prove his love for you,

Dear madelaine .... ). Unless if he tries to do anything reckless to save his wealthy than you ( Unless he tries to do something reckless to save his treasure from you )”

Jaeden said flatly while looking at – look around the workspace Rery had entered when Rery

move there to open the safe. The crafty man seemed to casually circulate his gaze around Rery's study, because his men were ready with a gun in their hands.

“Ah, by the way, where is my nephew? I really want to meet him (Ah, by the way – by the way, where is my nephew?

I'd really like to meet him )”

Jaeden said while lifting a figura where there are photos of Rery, Madelaine and Anthony

looks very happy.

“He’s not here! You can’t hurt him! (He's not here! You won't be able to hurt him! )” Madelaine instantly replied quickly to Jaeden's remarks just now.

“Leave my wife and my boy! (Free my wife and child! )”

Jaeden smiled obliquely.

“HERE! (THIS! )” Rery throws a map over his workbench roughly. “TAKE IT AND LEAVE! (TAKE THIS AND GO! )” Hardik Rery.

“Well, seems that my brother really loves you, Madelaine (Well, it seems like my brother is so

loving you, Madelaine )” said Jaeden who seemed to smile with satisfaction after reaching for the map that Rery threw on his desk.

“You get what you want, now leave! (You got what you wanted, now go! )” Madeleine

join to expel Jaeden with his face serious and furious.  “Leave us! (Leave us! )”

“Why so rush? I still need your husband’s sign and write some words on this with his own handwriting (Why

so in hurry – buru?. I still need your husband's signature and a few words with his handwriting here )”

“Give that to me and tell me what should I write! (Give me that and tell me what to write! )”

“I like your spirit brother (I love your spirit brother )”

Jaeden smiled cunningly as if mocking Rery with his words while handing over the file of the will of Kingsley Smith that he had held and saw and read it, then handed it back to Rery.

“Now write ... (Now write.. )” Jaeden already told Rery to write something on paper.

He paused for a moment.

“Put your sign first (Publish your signature first )” It changes its command on Rery.

“Look who’s I found! (Look who I found! )”

“Mommy! Daddy!”

Anthony's voice right – really surprised Rery and Madelaine who immediately felt fear and worry instantly if Jaeden hurt their only son.

Rery and Madelaine are unaware when Yanni Aberto, who has been separated from them for a while, after Jaeden discusses Anthony.

“ANTHONY!”

Rery and Madelaine equal – equal screaming.

“I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE MY SON! (I TOLD YOU NOT TO DISTURB MY SON! )”

Rery was so furious looking at Jaeden then Yanni. He was very close to Jaeden and without a doubt Rery pulled the collar of Jaeden's shirt firmly. Until Jaeden looks desperate in Rery's grip.

Bang out!

The sound of gunfire was heard later.
