My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0733 Minutes later, Maximus arrived at the Palmer Group offices. He had no trouble getting inside; Frank was already waiting for him.

"Maximus... What a pleasant surprise! You've gracedwith your presence twice in one day!" "Cut the crap and bring the kids," Maximus demanded.

"Mmm... Change of plans. Your children haven't arrived yet but you can still sign the deal." "Do you think I'm an idiot? You had this all planned out, didn't you?" "Maximus, you know I'm a businessman. Your kids are alive-they're worth more toalive than dead. But they aren't here yet." "You! bastard! You're just wasting my time. Tell me, where the hell are they?" "Maximus, sign the damn document, and they'll be hby sunrise." "Frank, do you think I'm stupid?" As the two argued, Frank's phone began to ring. He pulled it out and answered.

"Why am I not surprised you'd pull something like this?" Marcus's serious voice cut through the conversation. He was watching them from a distance.

"Marcus?" "That's right. Now tell me, where the hell are my son and the other kids?" "Oh, Marcus! You don't knowvery well, do you?" "No... of course I do. I know your whole damn family, which is why I took a few precautions. Haven't you sent anyone to check on your wife yet? A beautiful woman, by the way, though not very useful." "What the hell are you talking about, Marcus?" "I'll give you an hour to think things over. If you don't, I'll move on to someone else you care about. And trust me, If you thought what I did to your wife was extreme, the next one will be even worse." Marcus hung up and immediately sent Frank a video he had recorded of his wife.

Frank's phone buzzed with a message. He opened it, and the agonized screams of his wife filled the office. His eyes widened in horror, his pupils almost bulging out of their sockets. The video lasted about 20 minutes, showing everything.

Maximus, standing nearby, could hear Marcus's voice in the recording and the bloodcurdling screams of Frank's wife, who until recently had been his mother-in-law.

Maximus's thoughts raced-Marcus had clearly lost his mind. The man was a monster.

The sound of a gunshot snapped them out of their shock. Frank hurled his phone against the wall.

The office phone rang. Frank walked toward it, his hands and chin trembling. When he picked it up, the voice on the other end left no doubt-they were being watched. Marcus was close, and any false move would not go unnoticed.

"What the hell have you done to my wife?" Frank asked, his voice trembling with a mix of rage and despair. +25 BONUS Chapter 0733 "I want my son back! If you don't make it happen, the one to suffer next will be your damn daughter!” Marcus's voice was firm, unyielding "Marcus, you've gone insane. The one who should've been locked up is you, not Peter. My daughter died months ago didn't you know?" "Frank," Marcus replied coldly, "I suggest you check your email since you decided to destroy your phone. If I were you, I wouldn't feel so calm. One call from me, The call from me, and your daughter's life will truly bechell. It's up to you..." "Your daughter, for my son and the If I don't get what I want, what happened to your wife will happen to your daughter and your father. But trust me, what you saw in the video will seem like nothing. I've got the tand plenty of will to play. Don't forget who I am er two kids. You know I'm not bluffing. You have one hour to decide.

With that, Marcus ended the call. He was nearby, watching Frank's every move. Frank immediately rushed to his computer. When he opened his email, a series of photos appeared on the screen. The woman strapped to a hospital bed was none other than his daughter, Alexia Levect! "You're a bastard, Maximus! You told us she was dead!" Frank shouted angrily.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Maximus asked, clearly confused.

Frank spun the computer monitor around, and Maximus saw the images of Alexia and Lucius in a hospital bed.

"Marcus has her, and if he did that to my wife, he'll do the sto her. Doesn't it bother you at all what's happening to your wife?" Frank demanded.

"Frank, do you not remember you've kidnapped my son? Obviously, if you kick a hornet's nest, you're going to get stung. Marcus isn't the kind of man you want to mess with. He's completely unhinged. Do what he says, or I guarantee you'll never see your wife or anyone else he's holding-alive again." "This was your plan all along, wasn't it?" Frank accused.

"What are you talking about?” "You wantedto believe you'd hand over the company just to distract me!" "What the hell are you saying? I chere in good faith-because of all the years we've been family, and because Alexia was your daughter." "Don't pretend! You knew my daughter was alive, didn't you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about! You know perfectly well that O Marcus and I are nothing alike. Don't into draginto this. I'm only here for my kids. Give them back, and this doesn't have to end badly." ""End badly,' you say? Don't forget that with one phone call, I can decide the fate of those three brats." Frank grabbed the phone and called one of his men. The line rang several times, but no one answered. Finally, on the tenth ring, someone picked up.

"Surprise!" a young male voice said on the other end. "You'd better find the best hiding spot you can, Frank Levett, because it won't becoming after you. Marcus Bartz's already on your trail and has you squarely in his sights-especially now that the kids are with me. The voice was unfamiliar to Frank, and a cold sweat ran down his spine. He tried to keep his composure in front of Maximus, but it was clear this wasn't Marcus-or Maximus. Who the hell had ruined his plan? "Maximus, if you don't sign this agreement, I can promise you that you'll never see your kids alive again," Frank 23 +25 BONUS Chapter 0733 said, his voice faltering.

"I've already told you-I'm not signing anything until I see them here. You said they'd be here, but I don't see anyone. All I see is you trying to playfor a fool."

Frank felt his legs turn to jelly and had to sit down in the president's chair. His plan had just collapsed, and he hadn't even seen it coniing. Someone else was behind this, but who? It couldn't be Peter-he was locked away. "Maximus, if you're not going to negotiate, then what the hell are you still doing here? I'll call security to throw you out. And I hope you don't regret condemning your children to an uncertain future." Chapter 0734 Chapter 0734
