After several nights in a row, Ondo finally finished the business of thepany, went out and headed straight to his secret vi.


    It took an hour to arrive.


    The moment he stopped the car, Ondo sensed that something was wrong. He frowned and looked around, suddenly realising that the bodyguards he had left behind were nowhere to be seen.


    “Shouldn’t they be keeping watch in the courtyard at this hour?”


    -Where are the men, are they dead? -Ondo scolded angrily as he entered the vi and seeing the bodyguards tied up and lying on the ground, Ondo’s face hardened to the point of running upstairs at a brisk pace.


    -Vanessa!


    The room where Vanessa had been held was empty and there was nothing there.


    Ondo rushed back down the stairs and rushed towards the nearest bodyguard, ripping the tape from his mouth, grabbing him by the throat and screaming:


    -Where is everybody? What the hell happened?


    -Sir… Mr. Ondo… -Mr. Ondo… First… ahem… calm down.


    After so many days of being fed only a little water each day, the bodyguard had suffered greatly and his voice was very hoarse. He was gasping for breath after a few simple words and looked as if he would die at any moment.


    Ondo was furious, he did not expect his bodyguards to be caught so easily and even thrown here tied up.


    I could see that, if I didn’t untie the bodyguards and find something to eat for them, they would starve to death in no time.


    Then, Ondo had to contain his rage, he untied them one by one, ripped off the duct tape and went to the kitchen to get them water to drink. Luckily, there was bread in the fridge, even though it was out of date, at least it was better than starving.


    The bodyguards drank the water and when they saw the bread they didn’t dare gobble it down, so they ate a little to kill their hunger.


    Ondo’s patience was very short and when he saw that the bodyguard he had initially untied was looking a little better, he immediately asked:


    -What the hell happened?


    -Mr. Ondo, when you left, the next moment, someone came in and took Miss Vanessa away. They tied us up and fed us only a little water every day. An hour before you came back, the men gagged us all and left.


    -Does that mean that the men who took Vanessa have been here for thest few days?


    -Yes.


    -Shit!


    Ondo couldn’t help bursting out, because the other was too arrogant. They had taken his wife on his territory, and even stayed on his territory!


    “Damn it, I won’t find them out or else…!”


    -Mr. Ondo, the other side was very agile and very much like… a professional mercenary team, we…


    Ondo looked coldly at the weasel-like man with a look of contempt.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    -Get up and go to the hospital if you can!


    With that, he turned to leave.


    “Who the hell found Vanessa here and took her away? When had Vanessa ever met such a powerful person? Could it be the grandfather?”


    She had forbidden him to disobey him, she gave him superficial opportunities, but behind his back, did she do anything against him?


    If that were the case…


    Ondo pursed his lips, his eyes full of fury.


    He wanted to call Gerardo to ask for rification when his call came first.


    At the sight of “Grandpa” shing on the mobile screen, Ondo’s eyes became sombre and indifferent.


    -What can I do for you, Grandpa?


    -You bastard! You’ve just finished settlingpany business and you’re out of sight, don’t you know you have to go back to keep Melinapany?


    “It really was grandfather, wasn’t it?”


    How else would he know her whereabouts so precisely? She had clearly stated that she was going to do more amniocentesis to check the DNA of Melina’s baby, but she was calling him toe back to stay with Melina.


    If I had not already believed that the foetus in Melina’s womb belonged to the Moya family, would I do so?


    “Ha, it’s all a lie of yours!”


    Ondo abandoned the idea of interrogating his grandfather at the thought of this, that he did not want to get on badly with Gerard at the moment. In his life, if he wanted to escape the old man’s control, he had to have his own power.


    -I’m talking to you, are you deaf or mute?


    Gerardo’s exasperated voice interrupted Ondo’s thoughts and he reinforced his decision. He took a deep breath to calm himself and said:


    -I’ll be right back.


    “Since grandfather has taken Vanessa away, I have topromise and y nice for a while. I pretend to be obedient in front of him, but secretly I have to develop my own power”.


    Only then would he be free to make his own decision.


    “You can’t me me, Grandpa.”


    Ondo hooked his lips coolly and the car set off as quickly as possible.


    It took less than an hour to reach the Moya family vi.


    Gerardo sat boldly in the living room with his own cane in his hand and coolly raised his eyelids to sweep Ondo off his feet.


    -Grandfather.


    When Ondo approached and stood respectfully for a few moments, Gerard sighed indifferently.


    -Everything settled in thepany?


    -Yes.


    -Come on, it’s just a little crisis and it took you so long to solve it! Haven’t I taught you everything you need to know? How are you going to take on the SJ Group and Dn like this? You’re from the Moya family too, why aren’t you worth it?


    Gerardo looked at Ondo with disgust, the more he looked at this grandson, the more he disliked him.


    Dn’s SJ Group was doing very well, growing stronger by the day and would soon be a rival to the Moya Group. And what about his grandson, on whom he had pinned so much hope? He was a good-for-nothing who only focused on sentimental matters!


    Ondo lowered his eyshes and said nothing.


    “Dn, Dn again! Since I was little, even when I was abroad, he alwayspares me to him. In the old man’s eyes, I am much inferiorpared to Dn. If he values Dn so much, why doesn’t he give him the Moya Group?


    Or is Grandpa nning to reinforce me so that I can be the base for Dn? If Dn really turned out to be my father’s biological brother, this could all be exined.


    The more Ondo thought about it, the more out of control he became and his eyes became brooding, full of resentment, insane and twisted jealousy.


    Gerard had no idea what he was thinking and saw that he was behaving, thought that this rebellious grandson had finally learned to restrain himself and mercifully forgave him.


    -Well, it’ste, go upstairs. Melina is waiting for you, spend more time with her if you have nothing to do,municate more with the baby in her womb and develop the rtionship.


    -Yes,” Ondo suppressed the emotions stirring in his heart and nodded obediently before going upstairs.
